If I Fell (narry)

I'm fine, yeah

"No, love, please stop dropping your food on the floor." Niall sighs, as he squatted to pick up the mess. He was now six months along, his back ached and his hormones were all over the place. He was a mess. "Please eat." He's been begging her to eat for the past hour but it seemed like she liked playing with the food more than consuming it.

"Is Harry still not here?" Liam walks into the kitchen, seeing a very stressed out Niall.

"No, he's studying at the library." He rubbed his bump when he starts to feel kicks. "These babies are so active right now." He groans, he needed to sit down.

"I can clean up, you go ahead and put Maisie to sleep." He says, he felt bad for Niall.

"Thank you so much." Niall gives him a small smile as he took Maisie out of her high chair. He goes to take her to her bedroom to wipe her down and change her nappy. "Crap, I forgot your bottle." He groans, he places her in the cot and quickly makes his way to the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Liam turns to look at him as he washed the dishes.

"I forgot her bottle." He sighs when he hears her cry, he prepares the bottle as fast as he could before going back to her and giving it to her. He kisses her cheek a few times before he steps out. He goes to the lounge room and sits on the sofa. He needed to finish an essay that was due tomorrow morning before going to bed.

..........................

Harry gets home at around eleven, he notices light coming from the lounge room so he goes to check who was up this late. He finds Niall asleep on the sofa in an uncomfortable position with the laptop on his bump. He goes over to him to remove the laptop placing it on the coffee table, he picks Niall up and takes him to their bedroom.

He tucks him in and heads out to the kitchen to make himself a small snack, he decides on an apple instead. He sits down and starts biting into the apple as he scrolled through his phone when he hears someone clear their throat, he quickly glances up and sees Liam. "Why are you awake?" He asks.

"I wasn't, just woke up to take a piss." He sits down in front of Harry. "You need to come home earlier than this, Niall can't be taking care of Maisie all the time."

"I'm close to graduating, Liam, there's a lot more work to do and I've been asking for longer shifts because we need the money. I need to save up as much as I can before the twins are born." He rubs his temples.

"I get that but, never mind. Go to sleep." Liam stands up and leaves, he didn't want to stress his friend even more.

Harry finishes the apple and goes to brush his teeth before laying down next to Niall. He turns on his side to face the window, he slowly starts to doze off letting go of all his worries and stress.

When he wakes up he hears muffled whispers on the other side of the door, he glances over his shoulder and sees that Niall's side of the bed was empty. He stretches before walking out of the room to see what was going on. He sees Shawn on his hands and knees cleaning up something on the floor, Zayn was holding a crying Maisie, and Niall was nowhere to be seen.

"Finally! Here." Zayn hands Maisie to him and rushes to find Niall.

"What's going on?" Harry asks confused.

"Oh, Maisie had a tantrum and threw all her porridge on the floor." Shawn wipes the last bit of it and stands up.

"Where's Niall?" He gives Maisie her binky, silence filling the room.

"He's taking a shower," He nervously looks away. "He prepared your breakfast." He clears his throat.

Harry notices his nervous behavior but he ignores it, he sits down with Maisie in his lap as he ate in silence. He glances up at Shawn who seemed like he wanted to say something. "What?" He raises his eyebrow.
