"Oh my god," Niall whispered, letting go of Liam's hand. He blocked his face, beginning to walk away.

"Niall?" Liam said, turning to follow him. Niall disappeared into the bathroom as Liam came closer.

When he walked in, he saw Niall leaning over the sink, tears falling down his cheeks. "Babe, what's wrong?"

"That's Harry, Liam!" He cried. "He's the boy I dated five years ago that wanted me to marry him and have kids with him!"

"Oh," Liam said, rubbing Niall's back gently. "So what do you plan to do?"

"I don't know. I obviously don't have feelings for him, but it's so hard to forget someone I was about to spend the rest of my life with."

"Well, you can't stay in here. Why don't we go out and you just pretend that you don't remember your past?"

"Would that work?"

"Yeah. If he brings it up just say you don't remember. That's the easiest way to talk to him without getting too emotional and/or him hating you."

Niall sniffled. "Okay. I'll try that."

"I love you." Liam wiped away Niall's tears, kissing his lips carefully and lovingly.

"I love you too, Liam." They walked out of the bathroom, hand-in-hand. When they got to the table, Niall said, "sorry about that, lads."

"It's all good," Louis said.

"Daddy! Look what I made!" James cheered, showing Liam his creation of Legos.

"Oh my gosh, James! That is so cool!" Liam said, marvelling over the Lego truck.

"I made it with Harry," James said, spinning the little wheels.

"That is really awesome. So you like Legos?"

"They're the best toys in the world."

"I'm glad I know that now." Liam smiled, ruffling James' hair again. He looked up at everyone at the table. "So, Niall and I have some exciting news to tell everyone."

"What is it?" Louis asked.

Liam looked to Niall who gave him a nod. "We're expecting!"

"That's great, guys!" Louis said, smiling. Harry showed no expression. Niall looked at him, waiting for a reaction.

Instead, Harry pulled out his chair, getting up and going to the bar. "Harry-" Louis started.

"I'll go talk to him," Niall said, getting up.

"Are you sure?" Liam asked, unsure.

"Yes. I'm the only person who can talk about this right now." He went over to Harry, sitting in the chair next to him. "Harry-"

"No I don't want hear it," Harry interrupted.

"Harry, I want you to listen to me," Niall started. "I know we have a past and I understand why you're upset."

"No you don't," Harry sniffled.

"Yes I do."

"No you clearly don't! You said years ago that you didn't want kids."

"I said I wasn't ready for kids at that point. I never said I didn't want any. I also said that if we waited another year or so, that we can definitely have kids. You broke up with me."

"I know. I'm sorry I just-" He stopped for a short moment. "It just came so suddenly."

"I understand that's hard. But, we have to move on from our past and be happy for each other. I think it's great that you're with Louis. You guys seem fine together."

"I was actually going to ask him to marry me but...." He trailed off.

"Then go for it! Harry, that's great! That's how to move on perfectly. That way you can be a married man and have kids with Louis. Plus, you have James most of the time. You seem great with him."

"I love that kid. I've watched him grow since he was like one years old."

"I can tell you want that again. Now, go pop that question, Harry!"

"Okay," Harry said standing up. "Hug?"

"Course." They went in for a quick little hug, then walking back to the table.

*~7 months later (Niall is 8 months pregnant)~*

Ring ring

Liam's phone went off, making him run to the table it was on. "Hi, Louis."

"Hey, Liam. I just wanted to tell you we arranged a surprise party for James' fourth birthday in a month." Liam looked over to Niall who sat in the couch, rubbing his big bump.

"Okay we'll be there. Tell James I love him."

"I will. Bye, Liam."

"Bye, Louis." Liam hung up, putting his phone back on the table. He walked back to Niall.

"Who was that?" Niall asked, still running his hands over his bump.

"It was Louis. James is having his fourth birthday party in a month." He put his hands on Niall's bump, feeling his daughter kick his palms. "But, you're due in a month."

"I'll be fine. I'd love to go."

"Okay well, we'll just see where we're at in a month."

"Sounds good."

*~1 month later~*

"Do you have James' birthday present?" Niall asked Liam.

"Yes it's in the car. Are you sure you're up for this?" Liam asked, a little unsure.

"Yes I'm positive. I feel great and Lily is sleeping."

"Okay. You let me know if anything happens though."

"I will now let's go."

When they arrived at the party, they had a place to put the present and were told where to hide for the surprise.

All the lights turned off, meaning James was home.

When the front door opened, everyone jumped up, yelling "surprise!"

James jumped, a bit surprised. His eyes widened when he saw Liam and Niall and his massive belly. "Daddy!"

He ran up to Liam giving him a big hug. After, he got super excited about Niall's belly. "What's that?"

"That's your baby step-sister, James," Niall said, rubbing his belly. "Do you want to feel her?"

"Yeah!" Niall kneeled so he was in front of James. He took James' hand, putting in a spot. A sharp kick hit James' palm, making him quickly remove his hand. "What was that?"

"She's kicking for you. She's saying, 'happy birthday, big brother!'" James smiled.

James had his whole party, have fun with everyone, getting new gifts, and playing games. Finally, it was time for cake.

"...Happy birthday to you!" Everyone sang. James sucked in a breath and blew out his candles. Everyone cheered. Louis began cutting up the large Lego themed cake.

When everyone was served and eating, Louis and Harry stood up. "We have an announcement. We're expecting!"

Everyone clapped and said, "congratulations," except for Niall who grabbed his belly, breathing deeply.

"Oh my god."

"What? Are you okay?" Liam's asked.

"Liam, my water just broke." Everyone's eyes widened.

"Oh no. Okay let's go." He helped Niall to the car, leaving everyone to think he wasn't going to say goodbye to James.

But, once Niall was in the car, Liam came running back in, saying goodbye to everyone. He gave James a big hug and kiss before rushing out.

In the car, Niall was freaking out big time. "Ni, it's okay. We're almost to the hospital. We'll have our baby girl soon."

"Please hurry and focus on the road!" He cried over a contraction.

"I am. Keep breathing." Liam hit the gas pedal harder, in a rush to get to the hospital.

When they arrived, there was no waiting. Liam jumped out of the car, helping Niall inside. "Someone help! My husband's in labour!"

A nurse came running over, quickly bringing him to a delivery room. He was already at 10cm by the time he was checked.

"Okay on your next contraction, give me a good push," the nurse instructed, getting everything ready.

Niall cried in pain as he got a contraction, bearing down. He clutched onto Liam's hand, squeezing it tightly. "That's it, love. You're doing it."

"Ugh," Niall groaned as he laid back on the bed. He sat up again when he felt another contraction. He cried out, sweat beginning to form on his forehead.

"There we go. Here comes a head," the nurses said.

"Ow ow OW!" Niall cried as he felt his baby get closer. "Get her out!"

Liam said encouraging things. Niall cried and screamed as her head popped out. Niall flopped back on the bed, panting like crazy.

"You're doing it, honey. We're so close to having our baby in our arms," Liam said.

Niall sat up and pushed again with the contraction. "There you go, Niall. Keep going. This one will get your little one out."

Niall came close to a scream as his baby slipped into the nurse's arms. "There she is, babe."

The nurse quickly clamped her cord and set her on Niall's chest. He wrapped his arms around her little body. "Hi, little one. Lily Christine Payne."

"Look at her. She's so perfect."

*~Hours later~*

"Hey, babe. Louis just called and said James is dying to see her. Do you mind if they come by?" Liam asked, walking into the room from the hallway.

"Of course they can come," Niall said, rubbing his fingers down Lily's little swaddled body.

When James, Louis, and Harry arrived, James was the first to hold her. He sat in a chair next to the bed, holding Lily carefully.

And they spent the rest of the time as one big, happy family.
