OKAY! First of all... THE ZIGI BABY IS HERE SO WHY NOT POST MEETING BABY THEO! This is a double posting because I'm so happy for them! Anyways I'm doing this because it's Narry and Liam meeting baby Theo for the first time. I hope you like it! x

Niall

I see my big brother Theo for the first time since he moved out a couple years, and it really hits me how much I missed him. He looks the same and he has a big smile on his face and I know I do too. I rush into a hug with him and he hold me tight.

He gives me a big Horan Hug, which feels really good, since I'm always giving them and I don't normally recieve them back.

I feel a tear start to fall but I quickly wipe it away not wanting to cry in front of everyone.

We pull away and Harry puts an arm around me and wipes a stray tear.

Mum coos a little at his actions and honestly I kinda do too internally. Denise comes forward holding  my baby nephew who is so tiny and so adorable and I feel more tears.

I can't help but hope that's Harry and I in years to come, holding a child of our own. Even if we're still fresh into our relationship I just feel like he's the one.

"Hi I'm Denise, you must be Harry!" She says and Harry nods and smiles.

"Oh sorry, I'm Greg, Niall's big brother obviously. That means we'll have ourselves a little chat later." Greg says and looks directly at Harry and he gulps and tightens his grip around me. I laugh at his nervousness and so does Greg. Harry tries to join in on the laughter but he's still spooked.

"Can I hold Theo?" I ask and Denise nods and carefully passes Theo over to me and when she does he wakes up in my arms and his eyes are the most beautiful thing in the world.

Well maybe Harry and Theo tie...

He looks up at me and giggles and little and waves his arm around, and I can't help at coo at his small little smile and his hands flying everywhere.

He's looking straight at me and I know he's gonna be a little heartbreaker when he grows up.

"Harry do you want to hold him?" Denise asks and Harry nods shyly and I pass Theo carefully over to Harry who takes him and bounces him a little.

Theo seems to really like that and giggles and laughs.

"I didn't know you were so good with babies." I remark. I know I don't know him that well, but he doesn't strike someone to know how to hold and bounce around a baby.

"I used to babysit my mum's stylist Lou's daughter Lux when she was a baby so I learned a few things." He says and takes a hand and plays a bit with Theo still managing to hold him in the same posistion.

Mum and Greg look kinda impressed and I think they're quickly warming up to him. I'm really glad he seems to have Styles Charm right now, because I'm not sure what I would do if my parent's didn't like him.


We sit in the living room once Greg and Denise put Theo down for a nap. I can tell Harry's getting nervous now that it's just the family that can grill him.

"Relax baby, they'll love you." I whisper and he nods, but still bounces his leg up and down in anticipation as Mum comes back with five cups of tea and Greg and Denise come back.

"So Harry, have you ever had a serious boyfriend? Is Niall your first boyfriend? Are you sure you're gay? I don't want my baby brother to be your experiment." Greg asks bluntly and I feel taken about.

"Greg! You can't just say that! That could be offensive to him!" I say, but Harry rubs his fingers on my arm.

"It's alright Niall, I expected this to come. Um. I've had a boyfriend before, and we were together for about a year and a half, before we decided to break up. I've always known I was gay, because I didn't care about the nude magazines my friends were into. I would never use anyone, especially Niall as an experiment, even if I wasn't sure about my sexuality. I would make sure he knew ahead I wasn't sure how I felt and if he didn't want to pursure a relationship with me I would respect that. I have no intentions to hurt your brother and it would kill me to break his heart or be without him, even if we haven't been together very long." Harry says and Greg and mum look taken aback and Denise smiles and him nicely.

"That's very reassuring, as you know Niall's my youngest son, and still in high school and I know the horrors of high school, so naturally I'm skeptical of anyone he brings home. I've watched over him all his life, and now he has someone else, so I want to make sure I'm handing my baby off to the right person." Mum says and Harry nods understandingly.

"I completely understand and would feel the same way about my child. My mum was a single mother for a couple years of my life and my sisters and I know it was hard for her, but none of us would have it any different, but it makes her sad, knowing my sister is out of the house and soon I will be too. I have no plans to uproot Niall from his home here in Ireland, and I would give my life up back in London and move here with him in a heartbeat if he asked just to be closer with you guys. Niall has become my everything and I want to do anything and everything to make him as happy as possible." Harry says and mum wipes a few tears from her face and even I feel a tear falling as I hear Harry basically tell me he would go where ever I wanted just to be close to me.

"Wow, I don't think I need to give the 'hurt my brother and I'll kill you' but hurt my brother and I'll kill you." Greg says and Harry laughs a little and nods.

I notice Liam has stayed silent through out this.


We talk for a while and mum and Greg share some embarrassing stories of me when I was younger much to the dislike of me and happiness of Harry. We're in the middle of planning for dinner, when a loud cry echos through out the house and Greg rushes up stairs and comes down five minutes later with a sobbing Theo and it breaks my heart.

Greg and Denise try to soothe him but he can't stop cry, but Harry offers to hold him to try and when he's placed in Harry's arms he immediatly calms and I totally get that and relate to that.

I'm proud to say Theo takes after me in my love for Harry.

Greg and Denise are floored.

"Please move in with us and take care of Theo." Greg jokes and we all laugh.

"Only if I can bring Niall." He responds and plays a bit with Theo. I blush and give him a peck on the check.

I smile at Harry playing with Theo's small hands and I can't help but think...

How lucky am I?
