Niall Horan Baby Series

Niall Goes Back to Work

Y/N POV:

I was in the bedroom watching my husband get ready to leave. He was going back to work for the first time since Harper was born. I'm a little nervous but at the same time, I need to know how to handle Harper on my own.

"You okay babe"

"Yeah, but I'm a little nervous"

"Don't be nervous babe, you've got this, you're an amazing mum to our little girl, I know you can do it"

"Thanks Ni"

"Come here darling"

I walked over to my husband who pulled me in for a tight hug when I got close to him.

"At least I'm not going on tour, so I'll be back later today and you can always call me when you need something"

"Thanks Niall" I said as we kissed each other.

"Bye babe, call me if you need anything"

"I will, see you later tonight Niall"

Once Niall left, I decided to eat something before Harper wakes up, I made myself a cup of tea and a bowl of cereal and fruit. I just finished eating and cleaning up when I heard Harper crying. I went upstairs to her nursery to see her laying in her crib kicking her legs and flailing her arms around. I immediately went to pick her up.

"Harper what's the matter"

I then noticed her diaper and onesie were soggy.

"Alright let's get you changed"

I grabbed another outfit and a diaper and laid her on the changing table. I removed her soggy onesie and soggy diaper, cleaned her up and put the new diaper on her. She slowly started to calm down. I was about to put the fresh outfit on her when Harper's cries had escalated and she started moving her head side to side and smacking her lips together. I knew immediately she was starving. So I decided to put her onesie on her after I feed her.

"Alright Harper, what do you say you and mummy have some skin to skin time this morning" I said as I picked up Harper, grabbed her outfit and her blanket and headed to the master bedroom. I then laid Harper on Niall's side of the bed, removed my top and bra so I was just in a pair of shorts, propped the pillows up so I could lay back comfortably and laid Harper chest to chest with me.

When Harper felt my skin against her skin, she started to become calmer and was trying to find my nipple so she could eat. I slowly guided her towards my nipple and when she found it, she quickly latched on and started sucking.

I couldn't help but smile at Harper, knowing how much she really needed to be fed. I pulled her blanket up to her shoulders so she wouldn't get cold cos I know my baby girl doesn't like to be cold. I kissed her as she was enjoying her breakfast.

"You were definitely starving, weren't you Harper. Don't you worry, mummy has plenty of milk for you. Have as much as you need" I sweetly said to her as I stroked the top of her head which made Harper look up at me with her pretty blue eyes.

"You know something Harper, I could do this with you any time you want. You wanna know why? Because it's paradise to both of us. It allows both of us to wind down and relax, it's a chance for me to feed you, and a chance for us to have some mother daughter bonding time."

Harper started to shake and become a little fussy, letting me know she was starting to feel cold. I gently grabbed the covers of the bed and put it over the two of us up to Harper's shoulders. Once I put it over her, she stopped fussing and nuzzled her head deeper into my chest while still latched on to my nipple. I leaned back a bit more so the covers wouldn't fall off her.
