Chapter 4- Nialler Is A Hero!

Well, the next few days were....a tad interesting.

(Zayn's P.O.V)

It took us three weeks until Niall got used to being apart from either one of us. Lots of tears if I might add. One morning he woke up early when I was just about to leave the house, he saw me and quickly latched onto my leg, screaming for me to stay. It broke my heart, literally, so I have to stay and calm him down, rubbing soothing circle on his back and muttering sweet things into his ears, until he fell asleep with tears streaming down his cheek. And, the same thing happen to Liam, when he left Niall at Grandma's house; Niall won't let him go, wrapping his arm tightly around Liam's neck. So, Liam brought him to his University. Niall was a distraction to both Liam and his students, in a cute way. They can't stop cooing at him whenever he copied what Liam was saying and when Liam asked a question, Niall would be the first or only person in the room that raised a hand, smiling widely at Liam and screaming: 'Pick Niall! Pick me, Daddy!'. To say that I was jealous is an understatement, I also want to bring Niall to my workplace! But...., I wouldn't want to scar him with the sight of criminal trying to run away or drug addict trying to figure out where the hell is he. So, no, I would never bring Naill to my workplace. That's not the kind of place I want for MY Nialler.

And, it's MY Nialler's birthday. He's 2-years-old now.

It's been four months now since Niall came into my life and it has been the best. And I'm sure it'll get better.

“Buddy,...hey buddy, wake up.....,” I cooed at a sleeping Niall. He squirms and toss around a bit until his eyes fluttered opens. He face scrunched up a bit in the cutest manner.

“Papa.....?” A small smile crept on Niall's face.

“Hey bud,...”I lowered my head so I can nuzzle my nose with his and Niall quickly grabbed my cheeks with his small hand giggling madly. I put my hands under his arms and lift him up, twirling him around loving the sound of Niall's laughs.

“Wanna know something love? It's your birthday!”

“Niall's Bwirthday?!” His voice laced with excitement. “Prwesemt and-and cakes?”

“Yup! Lots of present and lots of cakes! Now lets get you ready, Daddy is waiting for us downstairs,”
I dressed Niall up in his best clothes consisting of a red and black button up plaid shirt, blue jeans and baby high-tops and his small bracelet that has 'L', 'N' and 'Z' beads on it. Niall insisted that I make his hair 'high like Papa's' so I styled Niall's hair into a quiff. We decided to throw Niall a big birthday party at the park in front of our house since Liam and I didn't like too many people in our house. Plus we don't have to clean our house after the party since we can just hire the catering people to do that. I walked down the stairs with Niall in my hands and Liam quickly tackled Niall once we emerged in the kitchen.

“Hey bud! Happy Birthday!” Liam kisses his cheek lovingly and Niall instantly grabbed his nose. It's a really cute habit. Once, he grabbed Liam's nose claiming that it is his and won't let go. “We're gonna have a birthday party later on okay?”

“Prwesent? And cake?”

“Breakfast first, then presents,” Liam flicked Niall's nose.

“Cake breakfast?” Niall asks innocently and turned on his cute face to get his way. Liam was silence for a few second so I decided I'll help; I pout and put my face next to Niall.

“Ugh,...fine. We can have panCAKES for breakfast,” Liam sighs but chuckled lightly and Niall squeals in happiness.

The birthday party starts in the early afternoon. The small park was beautifully decorated with tents, food tables, balloons, and awfully lots of other colourful stuffs. We've invited friends from our work, and Liam even invited some of his students. We also invited some of our neighbors (thank goodness they're not homophobes) and of course, our parents and family. Niall was pretty busy introducing himself to other people and telling them it's 'Niall Bwirthday Party' and 'That's Daddy and Papa' to every single guest. He also didn't want to wear his pointy birthday hat because it'll ruin his baby quiff. It was quite a large party considering it is just for a 2-year-old boy but since it's our Nialler's first birthday party, we decided to make a big deal out of it. Niall was stunned when he saw the small mountain of birthday presents and claiming them as all Niall's.

It was late afternoon when I realized Niall is supposed to have his afternoon nap but that's when I noticed I couldn’t find that small boy. I was busy talking to my boss about a case and Liam is busy with his colleague. I internally cursed myself for letting Niall out of my sight. I promised Liam that I look after him all the time during the party. I excused myself from my boss and head out to find Niall. I start off at the small playground in the park where the other kids are but he wasn't there and I went to the food table but no sign of that bundle of happiness. I push all the negative thought out of my mind. In this crowded place, ANYTHING could happen. After 15 minutes of searching, I started to panic.

Where could he be?

(3rd Person's P.O.V)

Niall got bored after standing beside his Papa who was talking to and old man about things he could not understand. Niall wanted to play with the other kids but they were too old and didn't want to talk to him, just like the orphanage. His legs was getting tired so he pried his hand away from his Papa's grasp and began walking or more like squishing through the crowd and out of the huge tent. He saw a huge tree and Daddy told him that small squirrels live on that tree. Maybe he could be friends with the squirrels and they would want to play with him! He began walking towards the tree with his stubby legs when he arrives at the other side of the tree, he saw two boys; one was a tad bigger than him with copper brown hair and on the boy's lap is sickening pale looking boy, probably the same age Niall is, with wild curly brown hair.

“H-hi,” Niall said, which sounded like a whisper. Niall really wanted to make friends since when he was at the orphanage, no-one wanted to play with him because he was too small.

“Hi,” the bigger boy replied, looking up at Niall with a tired smile. There were few visible bruises on his face. He was softly playing with the curly hair of the boy on his lap. The curly haired boy squirmed a bit.

“Lou....Hungwy,” the curly hair boy muttered, and an idea pops up in Niall's head. He could share his birthday cake with them! And they would probably want to be his friend.

“Shhh,..go to sleep Haz,” the older boy cooed. Niall sprinted, in his own speed, back to the tent and to the food table. He climbed on a chair and saw the huge cake and a few paper plates beside it. Using his baby hands, Niall shove an already sliced cake on the paper plate messily. He saw a few cinnamon rolls and a few glazed donuts. He smiles and quickly fills up the plate. He wished he could run but he didn't want to drop the food in the plate. He really wants to be friends with those two lads under the tree.

“Hi,...here food,” Niall place the plate in front of the two boys. The bigger boy's eyes grew wide with happiness.

“For-for us?” He asked nervously. Niall nodded vigorously.

“Eat!” He cheers happily, sitting cross-legged in front of the two boys.

“Thank you!” the bigger boy leaned forward and kissed Niall's forehead. “Haz...wake up,...there's food!”

“Food?” the curly haired boy rubbed his eyes slowly sitting up properly. When he saw the food, he quickly grabbed the glazed doughnut and began eating it.

Niall smiled proudly, he just made new friends.

(Liam's P.O.V)

I was talking to a few friends from work when a super anxious and super worked-up Zayn came up to me. His eyes were watery as if he's going to cry or already have.

“Babe, are you okay?” I put a hand on his shoulder, he was obviously shaking.

“I-uhmm I can't find Niall,”

“Are you sure he isn't with my parents or yours?” Zayn shook his head.

“Let's go look around the park,” I laced my fingers with Zayn's and he grabbed it tightly, as if he was looking for comfort. We walk around the park for about ten minutes but still no sign of Niall. The sky was getting dark and dark clouds hovered above us. It's going to rain soon. I was about to turn to Zayn and tell him that we should probably alert the police when I saw a little blonde boy carrying three juice box. Niall!

“Zayn! That's Niall” Zayn's head quickly whipped towards the direction I was pointing. We began sprinting towards Niall who has disappeared behind a huge tree.When we arrived, we saw Niall was talking animatedly to two boys, both of them were wearn old tattered clothes and I could visible bruise on one of the boys.

“Niall!” Zayn roared and quickly lifts Niall up and hugged him tightly.

“Papa!” Niall cheered.

“Don't ever run away from me like that! I was worried sick!” Zayn said sternly as he buries Niall into his neck.

“Sowwie Papa, Niall met fwens!” Niall squirms away from Zayn and points at the two boys. One of them is probably 5 years old with copper brown hair and blue eyes and the other was probably the same age Niall is with wild curly brown hair. Zayn was still busy peppering Niall's face with kisses while crouched down so I was eye-level with the two boys. The smaller boy cringe away from me as the older boy puts his arms around him protectively.

“Hey,..uhmmm where are your parents?” I began. The older boy shook his head.

“No-no parents,” he stuttered. No parents? Are they orphans? Or did they run away from their home?

“What's your name love?” I asked carefully because they seemed to be scared of me. Zayn crouched beside me with Niall in his hand, giggling at something.

“I'm Lou-Louis, this is Harry,” they boy answered.

“Who are they Li? Are they lost?” Zayn's voice was laced with concern.

“I-I don't know,” I replied and suddenly, the rain began to fall. Zayn quickly took of his jacket and covered Niall who just giggled and wrapped the large jacket around his small body. Louis took out a dirty blue blanket behind him and wrapped his body and Harry's. My heart broke at the sight in front of me.

“Hey, you boys wanna go to our house?” I asks them gently “It's warm and you can have a bath?”

Louis shrugged and Harry just buries his face in the crook of Louis' neck.

“You-you won't hurt us?” Louis asked avoiding my eyes.

“We promise we won't hurt you guys,” Zayn answered.

“Daddy and Papa nice! Not meanie!” Niall cheered happily.

“O-okay,” Louis answered.

“Li, take Louis and Harry to the house, I'll take Niall and I'm gonna tell our parents to handle the party,” I nodded and Zayn quickly pecked me on the lips “Let's go buddy,”

“Buh-Bye!” Niall waved as he was lift up by Zayn.

“Come on, we're gonna clean you guys up,”

“Can-can you please help Harry? He can't walk, he's very tired....,” Louis pleaded.

“Sure,” I was about to take Harry from Louis when Harry burst out crying.

“Lou! Help!” He practically latched onto Louis. I smiled sadly. The rain was beginning to turn into a storm. Left without any other option, I lifted Louis who was holding Harry. I was surprised at how light the weight of these two boys. Louis gave me a small smile as I carry both boys towards the house.

My mind wonders to what possible things happened to these two adorable boys.
