Behind It All

Baby James, Pizza & A Forehead Kiss

I sat in the hotel room with baby James sitting up on my lap. Niall and I arranged to order pizza and hang out in the hotel room with James since we cannot be seen with James infront of the paps..

A knock on the door startles me but I soon relax again when I remember it should be Niall.

I pick up James and sit him in his high chair before checking my hair in the mirror one last time, and walking to the hotel room door.
I open it to find Niall with a huge grin on his face and a huge pizza box in his hand.

"Delivery for Hayley" he jokes letting out a chuckle causing a smile to appear on my face before letting him in. I take the pizza off of him to take it to the kitchen while Niall takes off his classic white Supras.

I walk through the living room area and into the kitchen to place the pizza down and pour us some drinks.

"Niall what do you want to drink?" I call through to Niall.

"Niall?" I call again after hearing no response.

I walk through to the living room to find Niall knelt down by James in his high chair. Niall's eyes met James' as he Niall's hand reached for James'.
Due to James' hands being so tiny in comparison to Niall's, James' small hand could only wrap around Niall's finger. This caused a smile to appear on Niall face through his little trance.

"Niall, I've been calling on you" I say quietly, interrupting the silence and breaking Niall's little trance, full of his thoughts of James.
Niall's head quickly turned to look at me, his bright smile remaining.

"Oh sorry, I didn't even notice" he chuckles, his cheeks turning a slight shade of crimson.

"I see you've met James then" I smile, leaning against the door frame.

"He's a cute one ain't' he!" He chuckles, his accent thick.

"I guess he is" i smile.

"What were you calling me for?" Niall asks standing up again.

"Do you just want a soda to drink or there's some beer or.." I offer.

"Beer please" he chirps taking a seat on the sofa and flicking through the Tchannels.V

Moments later I walk through to the living room once again with the drinks and pizza.

Once we finsihed the pizza and talked for a while, I saw it was time to put James to his bed.

I looked at him as he sat on Niall's knee while Niall made a funny face in an attempt to make him laugh. A small smile appeared on my face.

Niall is so great with him, I can tell James really likes him as he's been giggling and smiling all night. Although, slowly, these smiles and giggles have turned into yawns and i can see James needs to sleep.

"I think he's tired" Niall said, reading my mind.

"Yeah i think he is, I better get him changed and put to bed" I say.

Niall picked up James and handed him to me. When he passed him over, i felt our hands brush, and I swear that, in that moment, I got goose bumps and I felt a spark of electricity run through me.

"I'll clean up this mess" Niall offered as we both stood up.

"You don't have to do that Ni" I called behind me going into James' room although I could hear him cleaning it up anyway.

After getting James changed into his pyjammas and getting him ready for bed, he now lay almost fast asleep in his cot as I gazed down on him. The room was in darkness, his bedside lamp glowed, being the only thing keeping it slightly alight, and projected images of moons and stars onto the ceiling.

I leant over the cot, watching as James was finally asleep.

I felt an arm rest on my back as Niall appeared next to me, leaning over the cot aswell.

I looked to him and he flashed me a warm smile, giving me the feeling of butterflies in my stomach.

"He's gonna be good kid when he grows up y'know" Niall whispered ever so gently.

"I always worry that it's gonna be so hard to bring him up by myself, alone" I admit in a whisper.

"You're not on your own Hayley" He whispered looking into my eyes through the dimmed darkness of the room. "You've got me, and the other boys....and I'm not going anywhere. Don't worry about a thing, everything's gonna be alright" Niall whispered before placing a gentle kiss on my forehead.

A warm feeling struck me at his touch and a small smile appeared on my face.

"His smiles a cute one!" He whispered.

"Although....yours is my favourite" he whispers with a smirk backing out of the room and nodding for me to follow.

I glance back at James to check one last time that he's asleep and tucked in enough before leaving the room to follow Niall.

When I find Niall he's sitting sprawled across the sofa with three DVD's in his hand a mischevious smile on his face.

"Choose a film" he chirps while patting the spot next to him for me to sit down.

The three films he had was one sad film, one action film and one romcom.

"I kind of don't want to watch the sad one, I don't do soppy films" Niall declared.

"Well I don't wanna watch the action one" I chuckled.

"I guess that leaves us with the romcom then, Friends With Benefits it is!" Niall smirked before putting the film on.

We talked at times throughout the film, getting to know eachother. As a fangirl, I felt like I knew almost everything about Niall although now I'm discovering little details and parts of his life that I've never heard of before.

Every memory or family story he shares only intrigues me even more and makes me feel like I could listen to him all day long.

After getting up for a bowl of popcorn Niall sits back down next to me with the bowl sitting in his lap.

"do you want some?" Niall asks.

"sure" I say.

"You better go get yourself a bowl then cause you ain't having mine!" Niall teases jokingly.

"Niall! I hate you so much!" I joke while laughing.

"Oh, do you really? Cause I heard that you are a pretty huge fan of me and that you actually love me! I heard you ran a fan account for me, tweeting about how much you wanna marry me and everything" Niall teases with a smirk.

"oh my god, please shut up!" I squeal, hiding my face in embarrassment.

"We all know I've always been your favourite, you've always loved me more than Louis, Harry, Zayn and Liam. Haven't you?" He smirked leaning closer to me, our faces only inches apart and the feeling of butterflies returning.

"Not anymore, Cause' Zayn, Harry, Louis and Liam would all share their popcorn, unlike you!" I joked.

"You know I'm just kidding, you can always share my popcorn" Niall smirks.

I laugh flashing him a giddy smile. He gives me a warm fuzzy feeling and I feel like I am my sixteen year old self living her fangirl dream.

The rest of the night consisted of talking until the film ended and Niall had to go back to his own room.

Finally, I feel like Niall and I are making progress. All the hatred is gone and it feels so much better when I'm not at war with him and when we can actually get along and have fun.
