It's for the best

Chapter 5

I started crying and I buried my head in his neck. He rocked my for a while and I started to calm down. Before I knew it I had my head lying on his shoulder and my thumb was in my mouth. But my rest was disturbed yet again.

"Ah ah ah, no thumb sucking. It's icky."

He pulled a face which made me laugh. He then placed a dummy in my mouth and I was too tired to protest.

"Now, Niall, I don't want you to be in trouble on the first day so we won't say anything more about it. However, you have to say sorry to Uncle Lou and I think there will be an early bedtime tonight seeing as though you are tired."

I wasn't in the mood to argue so I just got on with it.

I looked at Lou and spoke to him.

"I'm really sorry Lou."

He didn't respond and I was a bit confused. That was until Simon spoke up.

"I don't think he heard you baby. Try it again."

I spoke louder this time.

"I'm really sorry Lou."

He still didn't respond. By now I was getting a bit upset that he was ignoring me.

"Is that his name baby?"

Oh.

"Uncle Lou!"

That got a response.

"What munchkin?"

I blushed at the nickname but spoke up again but with a new wave of shyness.

"I really sorry!"

"Oh, it's alright! Can Uncle Lou have a cuddle though?"

He looked at me with puppy dog eyes and I couldn't refuse. I nodded and crawled off of Simons lap and made my way over to Louis.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and cuddled with him for a while.

It was silent for a while until Zayn spoke up and I looked at him properly for the first time today.

When I looked at him he had a look of adoration in his face and it was a look I had never seen off him before.

I looked at him with a smile on my face whilst he spoke. I never once stopped looking at him.

"Ni, we got you a present. And before you say anything, Lou over there thought it was cute so don't blame us if you don't like it. Blame Uncle Lou."

He said all this with a cheeky grin on his face.

Lou looked hurt but he knew there was no seriousness behind the statement. Zayn was purely trying to make me laugh.

Liam brought out a gift bag from in the hallway and passed it over to me.

I shyly started to open it, being very aware that everyone's eyes were on me. With that news I lost interest in the present and pushed it away burying my head back into Louis' chest.

I heard someone shuffle closer to us.

"Do you want Daddy to help you little one?"

I nodded weakly not caring if he opened it or not.

I heard rustling and then silence just before I felt big strong hands easing me away from Louis' warm embrace. I whimpered from the cold but relaxed when I was in Simons arms.

"Look what you got baby!"

I looked up and saw a onesie with a bow tie at the top and a blue and white striped in to go over he top. It also had a few different bow ties. I smiled knowing Louis had a lot of influence in the choosing of this particular item.

"Do you want to try it on so that your Uncles can see you wearing it?"

I hesitated before nodding shyly.

With that I was picked up and Simon took me to my room to change me. Once he had he brought me back downstairs to see all the boys.

As soon as we entered the room all of the boys cooed at me and I blushed and tried to shy away from them but Simon had a strong grip on me. Plus I had my back to his chest with one of his arms under my bum and the other across my chest. I really had nowhere to hide.

Harry rushed up to me and snatched me away from simon. He then hugged me close.

"Well don't you look smart little man!"

I laughed and smiled up at him. Even Though it was embarrassing to be seen like this it was also very comforting to know I was loved so much that they were willing to do this for me.

"Okay, why don't we all have a cinema day before dinner. And after dinner and after the boys have gone home me and Ni will have cuddles before bedtime. Sound good?"

We all nodded to Simons suggestion and cuddled on the sofa for a Disney movie marathon. We stayed on the sofa enjoying each others company until dinner.

After dinner the boys left and, true to his word, Simon cuddled with me before putting me to bed a little earlier as promised earlier on in the day.

I may have been reluctant but maybe this lifestyle will be fun.

Maybe.
