What Is Love?

Welcome Home Olivia!

*Maddie's POV*

I'm laying in bed and Niall is sitting in the chair next to me. He hasn't put Olivia down much since she was born. I hear him whispering to her every now and then and it makes me so incredibly happy knowing that this is my life now.

"Want some company?" I hear a familar voice say as the door opens. "Come on in." I tell him as Liam walks in. Following behind him is Louis, Harry and Zayn. I watch as their eyes light up when they see Niall holding our daughter.

"Well look at that. You're a natural." Liam says about Niall. "He hasn't put her down yet." I say and everybody laughs. "Do you wanna hold her?" Niall asks and Harry pushes past Liam. "Me first!" He says excitedly which makes me laugh. Niall places Liv in Harry's arms and a smile spreads across his face. "She's beautiful" he says and Louis adds on. "She looks just like you Maddie."

I shrug. "Yeah I guess a little." I tell him. "But she has Niall's eyes."

"And last name." Louis adds, jokingly.
"What is her name?" Zayn asks.
"Olivia." I say and everybody awes. "That's a pretty name." Harry says, handing her to Louis. "She's so small." he says and I nod. "6 lbs 2 ounces" I told them as they admired my baby girl.

An hour goes by and the boys have to go. They congradulate us and we say goodbye. After they leave I see my parents and Niall's parents come in. My mom already begins crying before she makes it through the door. Niall hands Liv to her and she walks towards me. "I can't believe I have a grandaughter. She's so beautiful." my mom says and kisses my head.

Olivia is passed to my dad and I could tell he had trouble holding back his tears. Then she was handed to Niall's parents and they looked so happy. "I'm so blessed to have a grandson and now a grandaughter." Niall's mom says as she hands Liv back to Niall. Niall then places Olivia in my arms and I look up.

"I want a picture of you" My mom says and she pulls out her phone.
"Get in the picture dad." Mom says motioning to Niall and he moves next to me. We smile as the picture is taken and that's when Olivia starts to cry. "She's probably hungry." I say and Niall nods.

"Okay. We will be leaving then. Call us if you need anything. Babysitting or just want help." My mom tells me and we all say goodbye.

*Niall's POV*

"Are you ready?" I ask Maddie as I place Olivia in her carrier. "Yep." She says and fixes her hair. "Lets go home."

We walk out of the hospital and find a few fans outside. "Aweeeee!!!" Was all I heard as we walked to our car.

"Congradulations! She's so cute!!! Yay!! I'm so happy for you guys! Niall you're a dad!!" Fans kept saying as I thanked them and took a few pictures.

I buckled Olivia in the car and turned the car on. I looked in the review mirror and saw Maddie staring at our
baby girl. I smiled and pulled out of the parking lot. Soon, we arrived home and I couldn't be any happier.

I carried Olivia into the house and took her into the nursery. "This is your room." I say and lift her up. "I hope you like purple." I joke as I place her in her crib. I look down at her as her eye lids close and her head turns to the side. I smile at her before grabbing the baby monitor with me and leaving her alone to sleep.

My eyes shoot open when I hear crying from the room next door. "Babe. She's crying again." I say to Maddie. "I got her last time it's your turn." She wines and rolls over. I sigh, getting out of bed to check on my daughter. It has only been 2 weeks and both Maddie and I are exsausted.

I pick up my baby girl and rock her back and forth before going into the kitchen. I warm up a bottle and hold it for her to drink. I walk around the kitchen and sing some songs and eventually she falls asleep again.

I place her back in her crib and brush my fingers through my hair. It is 5am and so far Maddie and I have gotten up every hour, every night since she was born. I had no idea how much work this would be.

I mean, I love her with all my heart but I just really need some sleep.

*Maddie's POV*

I feel my arm being shaked and my reflex was to hit back. So I did.

"Oww." Niall groaned. I opened my eyes and realized I punched him in the face. "Oops. Sorry." I say and he chuckles. "It's okay. Uhh....She's crying again." He says and I sigh. "Okay. I'll get her." I tell him. But when I get up I realize that it is 3 in the afternoon.

"Niall. We slept all day. We are suppose to have a schedule!" I tell him and he sits up. "Oh god. I'm so sorry." He said. "It's okay. We both need to get it all figured out. It's been 2 weeks. We need to set a schedule." I tell him and he nods in agreement.

I walk into my daughter's nursery and pick her up. I go into the kitchen to get a bottle. Once it's warmed up, I sit down on the couch and feed her. A few minutes later, Niall appears and sits down next to me. "How can something so beautiful also cause so much pain?" He asks and I giggle. "Honestly, I don't know. But it's hard to be mad, I mean, just look at how precious she is." I say and hand her to Niall.

He smiles and kisses Olivia.

And that's when I knew, I wouldn't trade this for anything.
