One Shots

Valarie&Niall

“Why don’t you come on over Valarie” Niall sings through the phone.

“You do this everytime” I say with a laugh. He chuckles also.

“Louis is starting to get to me” he says jokingly. “But no really, come over, I miss you and want to see you before we go back to work”

“I can’t” I groan “I’m babysitting”

“Ohhh” he whines and I can practically see the puppy dog face I was sure he had on right now.

“Sorry! But I can’t just leave a three year old here by herself” I say.

“I guess not,” he grumbles.

“I’ll just see you tomorrow” I say.

“Ok” he sighs in defeat before hanging up. I really was sorry I couldn’t see him tonight. The lads had gotten back earlier than they’d expected so I’d already had the babysitting job lined up when Niall had called telling me he was coming home the next day and it had been to late to find a replacement. “Ok sweetie, one tv show before bed” I say grabbing the remote and flicking it on to the children’s channel. She smiles, plopping down on the ground in front of the tv while I lay back on the couch. As the show began to end, I hear the doorbell ring. I pause for a second, wondering who’d be here, before getting up and peeking through the curtain. I grin breaks out onto my face and I throw open the door, throwing my arms around the blond haired boy on the doorstep.

“What are you doing here?” I ask “How did you even know where I was?”

“Well I wasn’t going to let you back out of seeing me so easily” he says with a laugh hugging me back. “And I asked your mom” he says a grin on his face. I laugh shaking my head before stepping aside so he can walk in.

“I have to put Gracie to bed now but I’ll be back in a couple minutes. Make yourself comfortable,“ I say motioning to the couch. He nods, settling onto the couch as I scoop Grace up and head upstairs. She walks over to her bookcase and picks one of the stories up before getting into bed. I lay down on the bed next to her and she hands me the book, cuddling into my side.

“And they lived happily ever after” I say shutting the book and glancing down at the sleeping child beside me. I smile, closing the book and setting it on the end table, before sliding out of the bed, tucking her in. “Sleep tight” I whisper before turning toward the door. I jump, seeing a figure leaning against the doorframe. “You scared me” I whisper to Niall, my heart hammering in my chest.

“Sorry” he whispers back. “You’re really good with kids,” he adds while I close the door behind us. I smile and nod.

“I love kids. I can’t wait until I have my own.”

“Well let’s get to work then” Niall says cheekily, wriggling his eyebrows. I flush shaking my head.

“You hang out with those boys way to much” I say with a laugh “First Louis and now Harry? Pretty soon you won’t leave home without a mirror either” I say teasingly. Niall grins, taking my hand, rubbing circles on top of it with his thumb.

“But no really” he starts. “In a few years, when things have calmed down more, there isn’t anyone I’d rather start a family with. I love you Val” he says pressing his lips to mine.
