My Best Friend (Niam)

Chapter 39

Niall's POV:

"Then tomorrow?" I said to the screen of my cell phone held in my hand.

"Yes, tomorrow I will safely return home."

"Then can we all go out as a family?"

"Of course, baby" my cheeks turned red when I heard that, after so long I kept blushing like an idiot for Liam.

"It's time for the baby's bath, and you should be sleeping."

"I'm not sleepy, I'm here at the hotel changing the channels while I talk to you. But if you must leave then let me say goodbye to the little one" I pointed the cell phone towards the little baby in front of me sitting in his car "Heyyy buddyyyyy" I laughed when I heard Liam whisper "Good night, little one. I love you very much" I saw how my little one smiled when he heard his dad's voice and my heart clenched with cuteness.

"Good night, you too" I said returning the camera to my face.

"See you tomorrow. I love you don't forget it."

"I love you, too" and with that, the FaceTime call ended.

It has not been easy since the baby was born, from nappies changes to sleepless nights. It is difficult to be a new parent but not impossible, I think I have done an excellent job in these 6 months. Liam is already much bigger, I think he will be huge like his stupid dad. Old Liam has been there to be with me all this time, he did not want to separate from us now that we have a beautiful baby to take care of, but he must also make music, do what he really wants to do and have many fans waiting for him.

"Who's the cutest baby?" I said as I pulled Liam out of his car. "Right, it's you, love" I started to give him several kisses to his chubby cheeks and I heard his infant laugh, now that was my favorite song "Look, love, dad is on TV" on the TV was a recording of a Liam interview, my baby liked to see his dad on television or even if it was a picture on the internet, since he always started jumping or clapping.

I took off his clothes and then take him to the bathroom, in a small bathtub full of warm water. When his little foots touched the water he immediately began to splash, bath time was one of my favorites, there are always many laughs. While cleaning my baby's little body, I began to remember my life two years ago. Liam was with Sophia yet, and I was just his best friend, a word I never liked coming from him, and now we both have a cute baby who is the love of my life. We never know the turns that life can give.

After I finished cleaning Liam, I took him to the room to dry it and put on a nice pajama that Ed Sheeran gave him, the advantages of having a famous boyfriend with famous friends. I was about to leave the baby in his crib when I thought better.

"You know? We are you and me alone" I spoke to him as if he could understand me "I think I want a little good company" I closed the door of the room and went straight to my room.

I left Liam face down on the bed while I lay down beside him, placed some pillows in case he moved in the night and would not fall. Delicately, I began to tap lightly on his little back so he would fall asleep. I smiled when his blue eyes met mine, it was so similar to Liam but with my eyes. My baby is simply beautiful.

He closed his eyes slowly and I stopped hitting his back, he was an angel when he was asleep. I approached and kissed his forehead gently whispering "good night, love," then I put my arm around him gently and I was exhausted.

Liam's POV:

It had been a long trip. I had to go to different countries but luckily I am here again at home, with my family.
Awakening in the morning has become so strange, but strange in a good way: Knowing that I have a beautiful baby at home and a beautiful boyfriend is the best thing that has ever happened to me. And to think that Niall and I started being best friends, that as children we were experimenting by making out in a silly tree house.

The car of my team left me right in front of my house, I said goodbye to everyone and went straight to the door. I looked at the time on my watch, 3:08 AM. I just want to take a shower and hug my favorite Irishman while he sleeps, apart from that sure I stink.

I entered the house and as expected everything was dark and desolate. I climbed the stairs and entered my room throwing the suitcase on either side. My heart melted and my eyes filled with tears as I saw the most beautiful thing in the world, Niall and the little one sleeping together, Niall hugged him delicately protecting him. I quickly took out my cell phone and took a picture, I didn't wait any longer and I uploaded it to Instagram with the tag "I get home and I find this, the most important thing in my life".

It had been the most cute picture of the universe, but now I have a problem, I have no bed to sleep on.

In order not to wake up Niall and the baby I went to take a shower in the guest bathroom and after getting dressed I took a pillow and a sheet to sleep in the uncomfortable sofa. What a father does for his family.

It had been hard for me to sleep in that sofa uncomfortable as hell, but in the end I could do it. I was peacefully asleep when suddenly I feel a tap on my face. I stirred on the sofa and continued sleeping, when suddenly I felt another tap on my face but this time accompanied by a laugh. I opened my eyes and found the image of my boyfriend and son watching me from above.

"Hey" said Niall with a smile.

"Hey" I answered.

"Why are you sleeping here, fool?" He said, still smiling.

"I didn't want to ruin your moment of father and son" I said, incorporating

"I already saw it. The most important thing for you" I got up and gave them both a hug.

"Of course you are the most important thing for me" I approached to kiss him but Niall put a finger on my lips.

"You haven't washed your teeth"

"Oh, come on, we've done worse things" the Irishman just rolled his eyes and gave me a quick little kiss "Hi, buddy" I took my son in my arms and I lifted him up making him laugh out loud "how are you? Did you miss dad very much? Because dad missed you so much" I noticed how Niall looked at us smiling "did you see me on television? Maybe you're there one day, Daddy also sings beautiful, so you'll sing like that, too"

"I don't sing nor in the shower, Liam"

"We are losing to daddy, baby. The sun has already affected him when he plays golf" Niall hit me a little hard on the shoulder "Look, buddy, I bought you a gift" I took a little box on the center table a gold slave whose name was engraved.

"Oh, it's very beautiful" Niall put it quickly "Thank you very much, Liam" the Irishman thanked me very excited and then carried the little one "Do you really like what dad gave you, love? It's beautiful."

I smiled as I watched Niall enter the kitchen with the baby in his arms. From now on, this would be my life, and I wouldn't like to change anything about it.
