My Baby Girl! (Niall Horan)

Keeping the Secret!

LEXI's POV

I dress Alex and walk her back out to the living room.  Zayn pulls me aside.  "Listen I know what you're trying to do! And I don't like how you're playing us!" He says.  "What are you talking about?" I say and back up from him.  "You're trying to get money from us by saying that you child is Niall's, but it wont work!" He says getting closer. I back away again getting scared.  "You don't know what you're talking about. I wounldn't do that to Niall!" I say and try to leave.  He grabs my arm. *SMACK* I hit his face.  He lets me go, startled, then glares at me walking forwards.  I stumble back into the living room where the rest of the guys were and grab Alex.  "Come on baby, it's past your bedtime!"I say and run to her room.  I lay her down and tuck her in. "MOMMY! Zayn is herw!" She says excitedly. I turn around and feel a sting on my face. "Zayn why you hit my mommy? Mommy awr you otay? Leyum!" Alex calls. Liam comes rushing in the room. "What happened?" He asks.  "Nothing" Zayn says.  "Zayn hit my mommy! Why he hit my mommy?" Alex says. "She's lying!" Zayn said.  "Don't you dare call my baby girl a liar! If anyone you're the liar!" I growl an rub my cheek.  "Zayn, What's the matter with you?" ?Liam spats towards him and looks at my face.  "She's using us for our money!" He cries and everyone else rushes into the room.  "What's going on?" Harry asks.  "She's using us for our money!" Zayn repeats himself. "Ow! That hurts!" I say and flinch away from Liam's touch.  "What happened to you?" Niall asks.  "Zayn hit my mommy on the face! Why you hit my mommy on her pwetty face?"Alex asks again.  "What?" I hear three voices growl.  "It's fine! It was an accident! He tripped and his hand hit me!" I lie.  "Oh well that's good." Louis says.  "He didn't fal-" I clamp my hand over Alex's mouth.  "Everybody out please. She has to sleep!" I say and shove everyone out of the room.  I hum a soft tune to help her fall asleep and ten minutes later she's out cold.  She has Niall's face and eyes, but she has my hair! Long and beautiful blonde hair, but hers curls slightly at the ends.  I sigh and walk back through my living room, avoiding eye contact with Zayn, and go to clean up the kitchen. I grab my broom and begin sweeping up my monstrous mess.  Zayn walks through the door and I tense up.  "Listen, She is 100% Niall's, he is the only person I have EVER had sex with. If you still don't believe me then leave.  I don't care! I was doing fine for two years, and I don't need your help. I didn't want your help but Niall is the one who wanted to meet MY daughter.  I'm not asking for money! I don't want your money!" I spat and try to walk out but, once again, Zayn blocks the exit.  "I'm sorry. What I did was wrong, and I feel terrible about it! I'm stupid for even thinking that.  It's just I remember how heartbroken Niall was when you broke up with him the first time!" Zayn says and I tear up thinking how hard it must have been for him.  "I suck! I don't know how I even live with myself! I'm a horrible mother, a horrible person! I deserve to die!" I cry and sink down to the floor in tears. Suddenly I'm gasping for air again, unable to breath.  "Niall!" Zayn calls.  I didn't hear him come in but A hand takes mine and his soothing voice speaks to me.  "Hey! Breath, In, Out! I'm here, ok? I will help you till the end! Focus on my voice!" He says and I do as I'm told.  Once I'm breathing normally again I thank him and start my cleaning again.  "How often do they happen?" Niall asks. I sigh, every time I think of you... "Once a day..." I say.  "What triggers them?" Zayn asks. Niall. "Stress." I lie.  I hate lying but Niall's right next to me, I can't exactly say he's my trigger.   Liam walks in, "You lads almost ready to go?" He asks. "Yea-" Zayn starts. "No! I'm not letting you drive at this time of night!" I say looking at the clock, it reads 11:46. "We'll be careful." Liam says but I wont budge. "No you're staying here tonight and that's final!" I say and walk into the living room to make my couch into a bed. "Two or three of you can take this bed, and two or three of you can take my bed" I say and get sheets from the closet.  "Where will you sleep?" Harry asks.  I don't plan on sleeping, especially with my nightmares. "I can sleep in Alex's room on the recliner." I say. Lies, what's wrong with me? "Ok!" Louis says.  I go change into my pajamas and say goodnight to everyone.  Then I go to Alex's room and sit in the recliner, organizing my thoughts.

LOUIS' POV

Liam and I chose to sleep in Lexi's bed while Zayn, Harry, and Niall slept on the pullout couch.  As  I lay my head down, I hear a crumble.  I reach under the pillow and pull out a picture.  It was of Lexi and Niall.  Niall was hugging her from behind with his head resting on her shoulder, and Lexi was smiling and laughing.  I smiled at the picture and show Liam.  "She loves him." He says.  Then he pulls out a notebook and shows me.  "Should we read it?" He asks.  I shake my head,"No, those are her private thoughts, we shouldn't intrude." I say.  As much as I want to read it we must not!  I place my head back down and drift off to sleep.

************************************************************************************************************I'm awoken by a scream. I jump out of bed and run into Alex's room. I look around for any signs of danger but only find Lexi sleeping.  I shake her awake, and she jumps awake.  There are tears on her face.  "What's wrong, love?" I ask worried.  "I had a nightmare, Niall h-hates me and he t-took Alex away f-from m-me." She says.  I hug her close.  "He wouldn't do that.  Do these happen every night?" I ask.  She nods. "I haven't g-gotten much sleep s-since I left h-him" She says.  She is truly heartbroken.   "I'm going to go take a shower and clean." She says getting up."But it's like 3 in the morning." I say looking at the clock.  "I know, I'm usually up at this time." she says and walks off to take her shower.  I have to get them back together!
