Niall and Liam were sitting in the living room, trying to figure something to watch. Neither parent could pick something out.

" What about this?" Liam asks as he shows Niall a movie on the telly. Niall shakes his head.

" I don't know what I'm in the mood for." Niall says. And with that, Drew and Brendon come down the stairs. Actually, it was an angry Drew with Brendon trying to talk to him.

It's been a couple weeks since Christmas and the whole incident between the two brothers. Drew is still pretty pissed at Brendon. Brendon just wants to apologize, but Drew never has any of it.

" Can you please stop ignoring me and talk to me? I feel like an asshole!" Brendon says. Drew continues to ignore him. He looks at his parents sitting on the couch.

" I'm going out for a drive. I don't know when I'll be back." Drew says. He goes to the garage door and opens it up. The parents hear a car start up and drive away. Brendon looks at his parents.

" Why the hell is he still ignoring me? I've apologized multiple times!" Brendon says.

" I'm not sure, I've never seen DJ this upset before." Niall says.

" Just give him some space." Liam says.

" I have been! And it's kinda hard to give DJ space when you live in the same room." Brendon says.

" Just ignore him. He'll get through this patch. He knows your apologetic about the whole situation. He just needs to calm down himself." Niall says. Brendon lets out a sigh and nods his head. He quietly walks back upstairs, leaving the parents alone. Niall looks at Liam.

" I'm worried about both boys now. This isn't okay." Niall says. Liam places a kiss on his forehead.

" I know, but there's nothing we can do. They have to figure it out on their own." Liam says. Niall stays quiet, knowing that Liam is true. There wasn't much the parents could do because this problem was between the boys.

Niall looks at the screen and notices a movie he's never heard of on the tv. He looks at Liam weird.

" Since when did Disney make a second Little Mermaid?" Niall asks.

" They made it a long time ago. They also have a third Little Mermaid too. I swear we've watched it with our kids before." Liam says.

" Well, I don't remember it. Can we please watch it?" Niall says, sticking his lip out in a pout. Liam lets a out little laugh and kisses Niall's lips.

" Of course babe." Liam says. He clicks on the movie and presses play. Niall cuddles more into Liam as the movie began. Liam hugs Niall tighter, glad that he's with his husband.

As Ariel starts to sing in the movie, Niall couldn't help but fall in love with the little melody she sings. Then Ariel sings her daughter's name, which is Melody, and Niall gasps.

Liam looks at him weird, " Are you good Ni?"

" I know what I want to name our daughter." Niall says. Liam raises his eyebrow.

" What do you have in mind?" Liam asks.

" Melody." Niall says.

" So, you want to name our daughter after Ariel's daughter from the Little Mermaid?" Liam asks.

" Well, yes and no. I just think it's a great name and I know it would be perfect for our baby girl." Niall says, placing his hands on his stomach.

" Are you sure though, Ni?" Liam asks.

" Yes. Melody is a great name, especially since I'm writing more tunes now. She can be the song I sing!" Niall says. When Niall said the name Melody, the baby started to move. Niall lights up.

" See, even our baby girl likes her name! Please, we have to name her Melody." Niall says. Liam smiles.

" Okay. We can name her Melody." Liam says. Niall lets out a little giggle and kisses Liam's lips.

" I love you Liam." Niall says.

" I love you more Niall." Liam says. All of a sudden, Niall's phone rings. He looks at it and sees Harry wants to FaceTime. He answers and sees Harry and Louis sitting in their backyard.

" Hey Harry and Louis. What's up?" Niall says.

" Um, when were you going to tell me my daughter is dating your son?" Harry asks.

" Wait, what? Did they tell you?" Niall asks.

" No, I'm just not that dumb. I finally figured it out when she left to hang out with him." Harry says.

" How'd you figure it out?" Niall asks.

" I heard her say DJ's name while on the phone and Louis saw her get into the front of his car today." Harry says. " How did you figure it out?"

" Sage posted DJ's initials on her story on Christmas. Brendon figured it was DJ and flipped shit." Niall says, " Which also reminds me, because of this whole situation, my boys are now in a huge fight."

" That sucks." Louis says.

" That is awful. I just wish they told us instead of keeping it a secret." Harry says.

" DJ told me they kept it a secret because DJ didn't want people at school to hurt Sage and because they wanted to protect Brendon." Liam says.

" Well, that makes sense, but I still should've known." Harry says.

" I know Haz, but it was their decision. They're not little kids anymore." Niall says.

" Ugh, don't remind me." Harry says. He looks off camera," Larry, get out of the garden now!"

Niall and Liam chuckle at the friend.

" At least you have Larry for now." Niall says.

" We won't for long." Louis says. Then the friends talked for a couple more hours and enjoyed each other's company even if it was through FaceTime.

Meanwhile, Brendon was crying into his pillow, alone in his room. So many thoughts were running through his head about how his brother hates him and will never like him again. He hated fighting with his brother. They've never fought like this before. Brendon never really thought about it, but he truly loves Drew.

Though, with all the thoughts running through his brain, making him overthink and getting upset over something small, he had to talk to his best friend. Sage can calm Brendon down.

Brendon opens up his messages and quickly texts a message to Sage.

To Bestie Sage🤪 from Bren Baby 💅🏻

hey can u FT ? i need u sage

Brendon sent the message and placed his phone next to him. He felt lost.

A couple minutes later, a message came back.

From Bestie Sage🤪 to Bren Baby💅🏻

Sorry not now B. I'll call you later

Great. Even Sage, his own best friend, hates him.

Brendon hugged his pillow and curled up in a ball. Tears streamed down his face. He hates the thoughts jumping in his head.

Sage hates you.

Drew hates you.

They don't want anything to do with you anymore.

Brendon hates overthinking. He hates it, but there's nothing he could do about it. Sage and Drew hate him and there was nothing he could do about that either. He was tired and hates his life, once again.

With that, Brendon cried himself to sleep.
