Chapter 111: Here Comes Forever.

[I'm talking about real and not pretend
I'm talking about roles of a lifetime
You and I can even write the end, yeah]

      "You sure you got everything?" Niall asked as I placed Via into the car seat. 

      "Yes, Niall." I said, rolling my eyes with a smile. I looked back at Via who looked at me with her hands in her mouth. "Daddy is such an overthinker, huh?" Via only smirked, staring at me widely. I smiled, carefully putting her arms through the belt and buckling it on her chest. 

      "I'm not an overthinker! You're an overthinker!" He defended jokingly. 

      "In fact, sometimes I am." I nodded. Niall only rolled his eyes with a smile and I finished buckling in Via, putting a blanket over her. "You ready to go?" I asked Niall, who nodded. 

      "Yep. Are you?" I nodded, grabbing the diaper bag and my duffle bag. Niall held his own while he took Via's car seat with his free hand.

      We got to the entry of the hospital where black paparazzi vans were parked in front of the sliding doors. A nurse came up to us, tapping Niall on the shoulder. "A man told us that he was waiting for you at the other entry." She said. 

      "Who, exactly?" 

      "He went by the name Paul?" Niall and I nodded, following her to the back entry of the hospital. 

      "Knew this was going to happen..." Niall muttered as we got to the entry of the hospital. Paul was leaning on the black Range Rover that had tinted windows. 

      "Hey, how are you two?" He asked, hugging Niall and me. 

      "Deprived." I answered. 

      "Oh, and this must be the new addition." He looked at the car seat and saw Via who was surprisingly still awake and still staring around. 

      "Sure is." Niall nodded. 

      "She got a name?" 

      "Olivia." I smiled. 

      "Welcome to the team, Oli. We should get going. Paps find their way around easily." He said, opening the back door. I got in first and slid all the way to the left. Niall put in the car seat and got in himself. Since the drive back home wasn't very long, we only put the seat belt over the seat and buckled it since we were both in the backseat. Paul got into the passenger seat and directed the driver to our home.

      The driver began to get out of the hospital parking lot until he was met with the millions of paparazzi that managed to find us. They shoved each other trying to get a look at us and the baby. Niall only put up the cover and let out a long sigh. When we finally managed to get out from the hospital, the paparazzi were left dumbfounded and standing in the middle of the parking lot, not finding any reason to follow us, which I was incredibly thankful for, not wanting Via to be waking up to paparazzi camping out on the driveway. "Ugh, hate those people." I sighed, leaning back in my seat with my finger wrapped in Via's tiny ones. 

      Niall nodded, "What's the purpose of that anyway?" Niall asked. 

      Paul only shrugged. "They like to get people worked up for nothing." Paul shook his head.

      I sighed and looked down to the baby whose eyes were struggling to stay open. I smiled, letting go of her hand and stroking her cheek. I looked up to Niall who was staring at Via with so much love and admiration. "She's so beautiful..." Niall said to himself. I nodded, looking back down.
