He Tells A Story

Mist's POV





The drive to the airport and the flight was exhausting. I thought that I could catch some sleep, but Yaden wouldn't allow it.

"Mummy," Yaden whines as I walk to the car we rented for the weekend with the baby chair in my arms.

"Yes honey," I sigh. We reach the car and Lilly unlocks it, loading our baggage into the trunk.

I buckle Yaden's car seat in and lift him up.

"I wamt coowies," he cups my face in his tiny hands.

I give him a small smile. "Aright baby," he kisses me softly. I put him into his car seat and strap him in, then get into the drivers seat.

"Can mummy give you your milk for now?" I turn around in my seat to look at Yaden. He nods and holds his hands out to reach for the bottle. I take it from his baby bag and hand it to him.

"We'll get you some cookies now baby," I smile at him.

Lilly joins us in the car and start the ignition. "We need to get cookies first," I chuckle. She rolls her eyes and nods.

As we drive, I notice boards put up against poles and walls about a One Direction concert happening tomorrow night. I guess I'm in the same city as One Direction once again..

Lilly turns on the radio and my train of thoughts are broken.

"Next up we have a song from One Direction!" A man's voice beams through the radio. Happily starts playing and I move to switch the radio off but I hear Yaden singing along to the song and sigh, thinking that it's best to leave it on for now.

I concentrate on every sound except for the radio. Wishing that the song would end already.

"It'll be alright," Lilly pats my knee in attempt to comfort me.

"Thanks," I smile at her.

We pull up at a mall and I give Lilly a confused look. "Why a mall?" I question her.

"Well we don't need just cookies for our stay," she giggles, getting out of the car.

I sigh, knowing that she's right, but I really don't feel like being around people right now.

I step out of the car and open the door to Yaden's side. I unstrap him and he holds onto my neck with his bottle in his free hand, held firmly against his chest.

I notice the change of weather; the sky seems to be filled with dark clouds and the wind picked up a little. I pull Yaden's blanket from the car seat and throw it over his tiny body, holding him firmly against my chest. He cuddles into my chest and looks up at me smiling.

I smile back at him, closing the door.

I feel a soft pull on my hair and look down to find a giggling Yaden.

"What is it, honey?" I ask him with a smile.

"Wove you," he giggles.

I softly kiss his temple, letting my lips tremble for a few seconds as I walk into the mall with Lilly at my side.

"I'm going to get alcohol," she sighs. "God knows I need it," she laughs. I nod at her and walk to the shop that looks like it sells probably everything. I grab a trolley and put my handbag inside.

I push the trolley into the shop with my free hand and hold Yaden with my other as he cuddles into me and hides from the people.

He's a shy and quiet boy, but once he knows you he'll talk for hours! If he's not tired, that is. And he's ALWAYS hungry. He probably got that from his father. I smile at the thought.

I pass the milk stand and grab two bottles, throwing it into the trolley.

"Yowuwt," Yaden says, pointing to the yogurt. I giggle and reach to it. "What flavor?"

"Chocowate," he smiles at me.

God, this boy loves chocolate way too much. I load the chocolate yogurt into the trolley and continue walking in the shop.

"Mist?" I hear an all to well voice behind me. I freeze in my steps.

"Is that really you?" He laughs.

I cover Yaden's scared face with the blanket and turn around to face him.

"Harry," I smile.

"God it's been ages! You look amazing! How have you been?" He asks as he pulls me into a hug.

"Ow," Yaden complains. I put my free hand over his head, cooing him.

"I'm alright," I smile at Harry. His eyes are locked on the blanket laying over Yaden. I know he can't see him, but I know how this must look to him.

"May I see him?" He quietly asks, stepping closer.

I sigh but nod, slowly revealing my blue eyed prince to him. Yaden cuddles into my chest even more and hides his face. He's so shy around strangers.

"Hey buddy," Harry smiles brightly and Yaden peaks at him.

"I'm Harry," Harry steps closer to him.

"May I?" He asks me, holding his hands out to Yaden.

"If he doesn't complain," I chuckle. Yaden looks at Harry then at me, then holds his arms open for Harry to take him.

"You're so big!" Harry pokes his tummy. Yaden giggles at him and cuddles into his arms.

"What's your name?" Harry smiles at him.

"Yaden," he quietly answers. He lifts one of his hands up, reaching for Harry's face. I watch them intensely, wondering if I should break their moment or not. Knowing that Harry would most probably tell Niall. Yaden reaches Harry's face with his tiny hand, and pokes his dimple causing Harry and I both to laugh.

"That's a dimple," he tells Yaden.

"Whimple?" Yaden frowns. Harry giggles and nods.

"Mate what are you doing?" I hear another familiar voice, mentally kicking myself for not leaving sooner.

Liam, Zayn and Louis steps closer, standing next to Harry. They don't notice me at first, but stand there looking at Yaden with dumb expressions on their faces.

"Is that Niall's baby?" Zayn asks Harry. How the fuck does he know? Harry looks at me and the rest of the boys follow his eyes, as soon as their eyes meet mine they all smile and run to me, embracing me in a tight hug.

"We've missed you," Zayn coos.

I giggle at them as they release me.

"I have missed you guys too," I smile at them.

"Coowie?" Yaden asks Harry. Harry gives me a confused look and laughs.

"What the fuck is a coowie?" He asks me.

"Hey, watch your language!" I scold him.

"Sorry," he looks at the floor. I smile at him and step closer to them.

"He wants a cookie, that's what we came here to get," I inform him.

"I have cookies!" Louis shouts. I turn around and he pulls a packet of cookies from his pants.

"What's it doing in your pants?" I laugh at him as I take one from the packet, handing it to Harry.

"You know how Niall always li-shit Niall!" His expression turns serious.

"You fucking lost him?!" Zayn shouts.

"Language!" I scold him.

"Sorry Mist," he chuckles. "Not used to having a baby around." He informs me. I give him a small smile and nod. I have to get away from here before Niall shows up.

"Lads," I hear the one voice I never wanted to hear again.

"Mist?" Niall stops in his tracks and looks at me like I'm a ghost.

"Hi," I whisper. Only now do I realize that both Harry and Yaden aren't here anymore. I start to panic and walk around looking for them. Tears start forming in my eyes as I walk back to the guys.

"Where's Harry?" I ask Liam.

He pulls me into a tight hug. "They can't be far, lemme give him a call," he smiles as he pulls his phone from his pocket.

"Mummy," Yaden's voice is heard from behind me. I turn around to find Harry and Yaden eating more cookies.

"Where were you!" I yell at Harry as a sob escapes my mouth.

"I'm sorry, Mist." He looks to the floor. "I went to buy cookies because I wanted too," he informs me.

A soft laugh of relief escapes my lips.

"It's alright," I tell him as I reach for Yaden.

"Mummy!" Yaden shouts, startling me.

"Yes baby?" I ask him.

"Tiwed," he tells me as he cuddles into my arms. I take his blanket from Harry and wrap it around Yaden's tiny body.

"Mummy," he looks up at me. All of the boys are standing around me, watching us.

"Yes honey?" I smile at him.

"I like Hawwy," he giggles. I laugh with him and comb his hair with my fingers.

"Awd I wove you," he smiles at me.

"I love you too baby, more than anything," I kiss his temple.

Only now do I realize what's going on.

I'm on a shopping centre with One Direction, including the father of my baby, with my baby. Niall saw his son. I can't escape this now..

"I have to go," I shake my head, fighting the tears that's threatening to fall.

"Mist, wait, can't we get together or something?" Harry stops me.

"I-I'll see Harry," I whisper as I walk back to the trolley.

"Do you actually think I'd let you leave this easily after I've seen my baby?" Niall's voice makes me stop in my tracks. Anger, hatred and sadness fills my mind and heart.

I turn around with tears in my eyes, facing the one person I never wanted to face again.

"You didn't want this baby, remember?" I tell him. He looks at
me and then at Yaden, then his expression softens.

"Let me hold him, please," he begs. "Just once," he steps closer to me. I'm frozen on my spot and I can't get a word out. I exhale sharply as Yaden is taken from my arms again.

"Mummy," Yaden looks at me.

"Yes baby," I step closer to them.

"Who he?" He asks me looking at Niall. Niall smiles down at him.

"He's my friend," I smile at him. Niall gives me an angry look.

"Let's go," I sigh as I take Yaden from his arms.

"He's my kid too you know," Niall calls after me as I walk back to the trolley. "I will make sure that I'll see him again, I'll fight for custody," he continues.

I turn around and look at him. "Where have you been these past 2 years? Your son is turning 2 tomorrow, and you didn't want him when I was still pregnant, why would you want him now?" I ask him. Yaden starts crying and I coo him, swinging him gently.

"He's mine Niall, only mine," I tell him before leaving.
