I woke up to the sound of my precious baby girl crying. I looked over to Niall to see that he had fallen asleep in a chair with Elaine in his arms. He must have stayed up late taking care of her so I could rest. There wasn't any IV in my arm, so I decided to get up and get changed out of the hospital gown I was wearing. I winced with my first couple steps. I was extremely sore from yesterday, but it was definitely worth it. I now have the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. I changed into some comfortable clothes and looked at myself in the mirror. I was already pretty skinny somehow. You could barely tell I was just pregnant. I walked over to Niall and took Elaine out of his arms. I sat back down on the hospital bed.

"Hey baby." Niall said. I must have woken him up when I took Elaine from him.

"Hey."

"You did amazing yesterday. I am so proud of you." He said, walking over to me and giving me a kiss

"Thanks."

"She's so beautiful."

"She's perfect, isn't she?" The doctor walked in right after I said that

"You guys are free to go. The baby and the mother and very healthy, so you are free to pack your backs and check out." The doctor told us

"Thanks doc." Niall said

"Oh and might I add that I have been delivering babies for 20 years now, and never on my history of delivering babies have I ever seen a baby as beautiful and perfect as your baby girl. Never." He said and then left the room. Niall and I smiled at each other. We could take our beautiful baby girl home now, and according to the doctor, she was the most beautiful and perfect baby ever, and Niall and I completely agree with him. We zipped up our night bag, checked out, and then left the hospital.

"SURPRISE!!" All our friends yelled as we entered our flat

"SHHH!!" Niall and I both shushed them as we motioned to the car seat Niall was holding. Elaine had fallen asleep on the ride home and we didn't want to wake her, but it was about time for her to eat, so she started to wake up. We heard little cries coming from her carseat, so Niall walked into the kitchen and placed her seat on the table as everyone followed and gathered behind us. We lifted up the car seat cover that was blocking out the light and revealed our little angel to our closest friends and family. Niall's family flew down to London last night so they could be here when we brought the baby home. My family still had no idea I was pregnant and now have a baby, I know I have to tell them soon though.

"She is the cutest baby I have ever seen Addy." Charolette said, and everyone nodded their heads in agreement

"Nice job you two. Can't wait for the next one." Greg teased us. I was basically a part of the family now, so I knew I would be teased like I was Greg's little sister

"Thanks." Niall and I said to everyone. I scooted in front of Niall so I could pick up our baby girl. I unbuckled her from her seat, carefully took her out, and handed her to Niall so I could make her bottle. She was hungry, so she was a bit fussy at the moment. I pulled her bottle, formula, and a water bottle out of a bag we prepared at the hospital. She only drank 2 ounces of formula, so I poured 2 ounces of the water into the bottle and added one scoop of the formula. I screwed the top on and shook the bottle while Niall held Elaine. I took Elaine from Niall and walked up to the nursery to feed her. I hadn't seen the nursery yet, seeing as I went into labour when the guys were still finishing it.

I walked up to the door. On the door were the words "Elaine Faith Horan, true Irish princess" painted on it in fancy lettering. It then hit me that Niall hadn't seen the completed room since he had to come with me to the hospital.

"Niall." I called him. He appeared behind me a couple seconds later

"What's up Princess?"

"I just thought we should open the door together. Neither of us have seen what it looks like completed."

"Ok. Let's do it then." We both grabbed the handle to the door, after Niall told me the lettering on the door was his idea of course. We turned the handle and pushed the door open. The room was painted baby pink and there were dark brown curtains on the window. There was a dark brown crib, matching the curtains and a rocking chair that sat in the corner. All of the boys had bought Elaine a stuffed animal, which lay in a basket by the changing table. They had found a dark brown dresser for the nursery that held all of Elaine's clothes, diapers, blankets, burp cloths, and even some baby wipes and butt cream. This kid was going to be spoiled, she already was.

"It's perfect." I said

"It turned out great. Just like I saw it in my head."

"You drew this all out?" I asked, walking up to a drawing of the nursery.

"I wanted it to be perfect for my princesses."

"It's perfect Niall. Thank you baby." He just smiled at me and gave me a kiss

"Welcome home Elaine." Niall whispered to our perfect little angel. Our true Irish princess.
