Niall's POV


I have never been this scared in my life. I don't even know my son, I haven't known him for a week, but the thought of losing him is unbearable. Mist is a mess. She's been crying since we got here. Thanks to my name, the doctors helped us first. When we got to the hospital, the doctors took Yaden into a room and told us to wait in the waiting room. My mind is going crazy with thoughts about what might happen to my son, but I have to be strong for Mist's sake.

"I can't lose him," Mist sobs. She's been repeating those exact words since we got here.


"Mr. Horan?" The young blonde doctor walks into the waiting room with a file in her hands.


"Is he ok?" Mist asks her as she stands up.


"This is actually normal for toddlers," the doctor chuckles.

"Do you actually think this is funny!?" Mist yells at the doctor. The doctor smiles at me before turning to Mist.


"Calm down miss, your son is alright," she assures Mist. It's probably the worst idea in the world to tell people that Yaden is my son, but I don't care about anything other than my son right now.


"Your son has gastroeteritis, it's an infection of the gut. It causes diarrhea, tummy pain and also vomiting. Sometimes vomiting blood," she speaks as she looks at the files in her hands. "Your son will be fine," she smiles at Mist. "I'll give you some medication. Make sure he takes his medication and he should drink a lot of water," this time, she turns to me. "You should keep an eye on him, if he doesn't get better in a week, take him to an emergency room. He's asleep now, but you can get him and I'll hand you his medication," she smiles once more before leaving.


A deep breath escapes Mist's lips as she falls into my arms. I stand frozen at first, with eyes probably as a deer's. I take in the smell of her hair, the feeling of her touch, and a smile forms on my face. I pull her body to as close to mine as I possibly could and cup the back of her head with my hand as I kiss her head. "Let's go get our son," I smile at her when she looks up at me.


"Thank you Niall," she smiles small as she wipes her wet cheeks. God, even when she cries she's beautiful. When we start walking out of the waiting room, I take a chance and lace my fingers with Mist's. She looks up at me with a scared look and pull her hand from mine, keeping them busy by playing with her hair. We walk through the long, white, mint smelling hall and stop in front of the room Yaden is in. Mist sucks in a deep breath before opening the door. I watch her as she takes small steps into the room. She takes a left and sighs with her hands covering her mouth. "My baby," she breathes. I smile at her when she looks back to me then watch her as she walks to the small crib. She disappears into the hospital room and as I look at the space she disappeared into, thoughts decide to occupy me. I don't want to be away from Yaden and Mist. Seeing Mist again, all of these feelings came back. Stronger this time. And seeing my son. I feel like kicking myself in the balls for missing out on his life. I hope it's not too late. I want them both but Mist is just so damn stubborn. I haven't even told my parents or anyone about Yaden. My mother is going to kill me. Mist calls for me in a soft voice, making my push my thoughts aside. I walk into the room, walking the way she walked in. My eyes land on her and my heart melts at the view. She's sitting on a chair with Yaden laying asleep in her lap. His small hands are balled into fists as Mist is stroking his head. She smiles down at him as she sings him a song very familiar to me. I slowly make my way to them and bend down once I reach them. I lay my hand over his tummy and feel his heartbeat.

"He's beautiful," I tell Mist.

She breathes out a small laugh and shakes her head. "He looks like you," she pokes his left cheek.


"He looks more like you," I tell her.

"No way. He has your eyes. And the little brown in his hair belongs to you. Along with his nose and his smile," she whispers as she touches his lips.


"He has your laugh and your blonde hair. And his nails are yours." I tell her as I smile at my son.

"He takes after you though," she giggles.


"What do you mean?" I frown at her.


"He likes music. And even though he can't really sing or play instruments yet, he likes singing and playing guitar," she informs me. I suck in a deep breath as I think of a way to put my thoughts into words.

"Mist," I look up to her. "I'm on break for two weeks," I tell her.

"And?" She smiles at me.


"I would like for my parents to meet Yaden," I tell her in a soft voice.

She stays quiet for a few seconds as she looks down at Yaden. "I have to go back to work," she mutters.


"You can call them and ask for a few days off, can't you?" I ask her.

"I guess I could," she smiles at me. My heartbeat raises at her agreeing. I get to spend more time with both of them. And even though my parents will be pissed at me for not telling them about Yaden, and the reason why I didn't know either, it's a chance I will take.

The doctor came in and gave Mist the medication that Yaden needs. We came back to our hotel and took Yaden back to his crib. Mist told Harry and Lilly that Niall is fine before they left. Right now, Mist and I are sitting on the sofa, watching some lame series called Under The Dome.

"Why do they even call this a horror?" She giggles.


"I know," I sigh. "When are you leaving?" I ask her. Mist told me that she has to go back to her home because she has to speak to her boss about getting off and she has to get more clothes for them.


"Tomorrow morning," she mutters.


"I can drive you to the airport?" I offer.


"No it's fine." She smiles at me. "So I'll be meeting you in Ireland Wednesday?" She asks.

"Yeah I'll get you guys from the airport," I smile at her. The door opens, revealing Harry and Lilly with big smiles. I smirk back at them, knowing by the case they have that they brought what I asked them to.


"We have a present for my godson!" Lilly squeals.

"You're godmother?" Harry and I ask at the same time.

"Yeah," Lilly shrugs.

"He's sleeping," Mist tells them.


"Well, then I'll give it to you," Lilly smiles as she takes the big blue case to Mist.


"Oh my God!" Mist sucks in a breath when she looks into the case. "A puppy?" She looks at Lilly.


"Niall's idea," Lilly smiles.

Mist's POV


I wake up to Yaden's cries. It breaks my heart to know that he is in pain. I lazily get out of my bed and walk over to Yaden's crib. I pick him up just as Lilly comes rushing into the room.

"We have to leave in half an hour," she mutters in a happy voice before leaving. The puppy, who we named Blackie, comes running into the room before Lilly closes the door. I smile at him as I put Yaden down on the bed. I give him his bottle before I pick Blackie up. I put him down next to Yaden and giggle once they snuggle up together.

"Puppy?" Yaden looks at me with big eyes.


"Yes honey," I giggle. "He's yours. Niall got him for you," I stroke his head. Yaden smiles before he lays down next to Blackie again.
