Baby Niall

Chappy 6

To say that Niall was grumpy was an understatement. When he woke up, he had a sore throat, a 102.3°F fever, and an awful diaper rash.

The only thing Niall wanted to do was lay down with Louis, but the didn't want him talking because he was sick. "I think it's the flu," Liam mumbled as he bounced a crying Niall on his hip.

"Might be," Zayn thought,"It has been going around lately." Niall continued to weep on his daddy's shoulder and lean his head down. Liam took notice to this, and stopped bouncing.

"Do you wanna go lay down with me?" He asked, wiping the hair that was sticking to his forehead away from his baby's eyes. Niall sighed, and mumbled a barely audible,"Uh-Huh."

"Let's go," Liam cooed, carrying him over to the couch, where Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was playing not even ten feet away. Niall was laying on top of Liam's stomach, and gladly took the dummy that was offered to him.

Liam watched Niall's flushed face relax, finally getting what he wanted all day long. It was only a matter of minutes until the dummy fell out of his mouth from falling asleep.

Liam eventually did, too, having to care for a sick baby is hard work. Louis, Zayn, and Harry all came in and cooed over the two, planting chaste kisses all over both of their faces.

An hour and a half rolled on, and Liam woke up thinking that Niall would enjoy a chilled bath. Not freezing, but not hot either.

He began to sit up, moving Niall from his comfortable position. He groaned, and grumpily turned over. He was not in the mood to be up.

"Niall, let's go get a bath, you're burning up," Liam said, picking Niall up. The little boy refused, wiggling around. He wanted nothing but to sleep.

"Niall, I'm not gonna tell you again," Liam said, putting his hands on his hips,"Do I have to spank you?"

Niall ignored his threat, and laid his head back down. Suddenly, Liam grabbed him by the waist. Niall lashed out, and slapped Liam across the face. The sound of skin hitting skin echoed through the room, and then Niall was fully awake.

"Niall Horan!" Liam said, utterly gutted. He took to time to get the boy over his lap, and began to send harsh smacks to his thighs and bum. Niall began to sob, the diaper rash making the blows explode with pain ten times more than they would've.

"I tried to get you up nicely, but you brought this upon yourself," Liam scolded,"Now I understand you don't feel good, but hitting is not tolerated.

After three minutes, he stopped, and looked down at Niall's face. Almost as red as his legs, he had tears and sweat glazing over his skin. He was squeezing his eyes shut, blubbering apologies.

Liam carefully picked him up, and rocked him in his lap. The lads were attracted by the noise, and poked their heads in. Liam motioned for them to be quiet, but lured them in.

They all began to say sweet things to the baby, patting his back and running their fingers through his hair. A few minutes of that soaked up Niall's tears like a sponge.

"There you go," Louis said,"You ready for a bath?" Niall nodded, and reached for the closest person to him: Harry.

Harry took him in his arms and coddled him, kissing his cute little nose. He walked them up the stairs as the others stayed back to prepare for supper.

"It's okay," Harry whispered,"It's over, now."

"I Sowwy," Niall whimpered, rubbing at his eyes tiredly. Harry shook his head, and kissed his baby on the cheek. The water had finally risen to Harry's expectations, and he slowly began to undress Niall.

He put the blonde in the water, and watched sadly as he watched his toys just float by, not even playing with them. He grabbed some Baby Shampoo, and rubbed it in Niall's hair, making a lather.

Niall began to pure as he massaged his scalp, his eyes drooping. After a few more seconds of that, he took the cup from the counter and said,"Cover your eyes, love."

Niall did, and he looked like the monkey emoji that was covering it's eyes. (🙈)

He poured a cup full of water over his head, and began to do it repeatedly until all of the soap was out. He quickly washed Niall's body with a rag, and then turned around to get a towel.

Then, warm water was splashed on to Harry's back, and he turned around to see a giggling Niall. He shook his finger at the lad, and smirked,"That was not a good choice, Niall."

He quickly took him out of the bathtub, and Harry immediately began to dry him off with the fluffy, white towel. Once that was done, he began to tickle Niall's soft tummy, which sent the baby boy into a fit of giggles, trying to push his hands away.

Harry's hands went up to his ribs, and Niall began to scream, and collapsed on Harry's lap in laughter. The happy sounds that erupted from Niall attracted the lads on the floor below, and they slowly crept in to poke their heads in and see what was up.

Smiles were plastered on their faces as they saw that their baby boy was happy. That's really what they started this for, because they loved to see him happy.

Harry stopped tickling him when he saw the tears from laughing so hard seep from his dear ducts. Niall let out a sigh, and leaned his head on Harry's shoulder,"Wanna see Li-Li."

"Let's get you dry and dressed, first," Harry said, wrapping the fluffy towel around his body and picking him up. He carried him through the door that connected the bathroom and Niall's room and sat Niall on the floor.

"What do you want to wear?" Harry asked as he threw the doors of his wardrobe open. Niall looked at his selection, and pointed to a grey sweater. Harry looked at it. They must've left in there when they cleaned out his closet.

"Okay," he said, not knowing how Niall would react to wear adult sized clothing. He put it over his head, and Niall nuzzled his face into his sleeves that were too long.

"Li?" Niall asked, determined to see his Daddy in the near future.

"Well, let's get a nappy on, okay?" Harry said, opening a drawer and pulling a fresh one out. Niall nodded, and laid down on the floor obediently.

Harry slipped, taped, and stood Niall up and he was already bolting out of the door, but Zayn caught him before he were to clamber down the staircase.

"Wait a minute there, bud," Zayn said,"I don't want you to fall." He picked Niall up and carried him down the stairs himself. As soon as he could, Niall leaped out of Zayn's arms and began to run around looking Liam.

"Daddy?!" He yelled, walking around. Liam heard the noise from inside the kitchen, and yelled back,"In here, babe!"

Niall's bare feet padded against the tile as he ran up to Liam and hugged his waist. Liam was caught off guard, but picked up the blonde boy.

"I sowwy," Niall mumbled against Liam's neck where his face was nuzzled. Liam cooed, and patted his bum,"It's okay, baby."

"I no hit no more," Niall said, nodding his head. Liam chuckled, and kissed his head.

"Dummy?" Niall then asked out of the blue, pointing to the purple billy that was sitting on the counter. Liam reached over and grabbed it for him, holding it out.

Niall took it between his lips, and began to suck happily.
