One Week Later

Niall’s POV
‘’You smell like shit.’’ I say in a singsong voice as I wipe off Tristan’s butt. I hated doing this because it made me feel sick to my stomach. I mean, I don’t mind but still its rather disturbing.

‘’God.. damn.. kid.’’ I mumble to myself as I heard him fart, what manners he has. ‘’You definitely got that from me, son.’’ I laugh to myself as I try to fan away the smell with my hand.

‘’Holy shit.’’ I heard Harry laugh and I look over to see him standing in the door way, pinching his nose. ‘’Your kid smells like sewage.’’ He smiles lightly. ‘’Hey, watch it. Only I can say that.’’ I say sternly before turning my attention back to the baby.

‘’How can all that smell come from someone so small?’’ Harry asks with a laugh leaving his mouth. ‘’Hell if I know.’’ I shrug a little as I gulp, trying to keep down my breakfast. ‘’Uh, well, Jana sent me to tell you to get him dressed because we’re going to leave soon.’’ He changes the topic.

‘’Alright.’’ I nod a little before sighing to myself. We were going Christmas shopping, just to get a few more items we missed and most of those are for the kids. Santa ain’t cheap around here.. let’s just say that.

Harry left the doorway with one last laugh, leaving me and my little buddy alone for once, like we like it. ‘’Now, you’re gonna smell like lavender because Mommy can’t stand to buy the regular powder.’’ I mumble mainly to myself as I grab the baby powder from the shelf near the changing table.

Jana doesn’t like the smell of the normal kind, so she gets the lavender. So the baby smells like shit and lavender most of the day, but whatever floats her boat is what I agree with. I don’t argue when it comes to that kind of stuff.

‘’Alright, let’s see what Mommy’s got laid out for Daddy’s little buddy.’’ I sigh out as I pick Tristan up after putting a new diaper on him. ‘’Stop whining, I’m right here.’’ I say confidently as I put as hit back, I had him against my chest so that his head was against my shoulder.

I go over to the dresser and grab the pile of clothes that was on top, the things Jana demanded for him to wear. But it’s a good thing, because if it was up to me he’d be going places in just a diaper, despite the cold weather.

‘’Everybody wanna steal my girl.. Everybody wanna take her heart away.. couple billion in the whole wide world.. find another one ‘cus she belongs to me.’’ I sing aloud as I take the baby back to the changing table.

I lie him down and sit the clothes down by his feet. He just stares up at me. ‘’You like it when Daddy sings?’’ I ask with a smile as I lean down and rub my nose against his. He smiles a little at me, it was amazing.

Yes, he first smiled a few days ago at ME. Yep, me. And it was amazing. I was changing his diaper and I was singing about how he was smelling pretty bad, and I guess he just liked it and agreed with me. Ever since that moment, I started to sing while changing his diapers, or during anything really.

‘’I’ma hit ya with a classic, a’right little man?’’ I ask as I lean up, he just stares up at me, waiting for me to start I just know it. I grab his onesie thing and start the song, ‘’As long as you love me.. We’re under pressure.. Seven billion people in the world, tryin’ to fit in. Keep it together, smile on your face even though you’re always frownin’..’’ I sigh to myself as I smile down at him.

‘’I’ll skip that. How ‘bout this? It’s a better classic.’’ I ask before starting, ‘’ I've seen the road now. I know just what I need. To find my way back to Tennessee. I'm going home now. To Southern, is so sweet. And find my way back to Tennessee.’’

‘’Nah, I’m kiddin’. T’at’s the stuff ya Mom listens to. But seriously, I’ll throw ya a good one.’’ I say as I slide the pants on him before starting up a pretty good, amazing and truly wonderful song.

‘’Been a lot of places. I've been all around the world. Seen a lot of faces. Never knowing where I was. On the horizon, Oh, well, I know, I know, I know, I know the sun will be rising, Back home. Living out of cases, Packing up and taking off. Made a lot of changes, But not forgetting who I was. On the horizon. Oh, well, I know, I know, I know, I know the moon will be rising… Back home.”

“Niall?’’ Jana’s voice cut me off from continuing any further into the song. ‘’Yes, babe?’’ I ask as I put the socks on Tristan’s feet. ‘’Just wondering what you were doin’ up here.. But never mind, continue on.’’ She winks lightly as I look over at her.

I just smile at her before she walks away, probably back downstairs. ‘’Well little guy, we got busted again.’’ I sigh as I continue to dress him, not really sure of the weather today, but I assume its very cold based on what Jana had laid out.

‘’We’ll continue tomorrow, same time, yeah?’’ I wink lightly as he looks up at me. He just smiles, I smile back. Beautiful.

‘’Jana.. I’m starving.’’ I mumble as I squeeze her hand tightly. ‘’I know, I know. Just a few more minutes.’’ She laughs lightly as we continue to stroll through the aisles of clothing at some store.

‘’The baby’s getting cranky.’’ I sigh as I peek over into the stroller to see him squirming around, a sign that he wasn’t too pleased

‘’Don’t use him as an excuse.’’ She smirks lightly. ‘’I’m not! But he’s gonna start cryin’ soon.’’ I protest. ‘’Whatever, why don’t you guys go sit and wait on me? The food court’s not that far from here.’’ She insists.

‘’Alrighty then. Give me the thing.’’ I say as I let her hand go. She lets go of the stroller with her other hand and I push it over to me, it was small so I’m glad it wasn’t hard to push or too much to handle.

‘’Give me a kiss.’’ I say as I poke my lips out. Jana just laughs a little as she leans up and gives me a nice, lips only, kiss. And of course, I heard a few camera snaps and I saw some people with their phones, but fuck them.

This is my life, my baby, and my wife. I can do what I want. ‘’Ten minutes, promise.’’ She winks before I start to walk off. ‘’Love you, babe.’’ She adds. ‘’Love you too.’’ I say as I glance over my shoulder at her.

‘’Alright son, let’s go find Daddy some food and then I’ll feed you, alright?’’ I ask him, but obviously I get no response at all. But that’s okay, at least I know he’s listening, right?

“Did your mom land yet?’’ Jana asks me after sipping her water. ‘’Uh, not yet. She’s supposed to call, but probably soon.’’ I shrug, not really sure of that answer yet.

‘’I texted Harry, he said that Tori and Taylor were playing dodge ball with the tree ornaments.’’ She smiles as she informs me of this. ‘’So that’s a warning that there’s going to be shattered plastic and glass all in the floor when we get home?’’ I ask, a smile on my face.

‘’Not necessarily. Harry said he would clean up it up. And he said he would replace the ones they broke.’’ She says. ‘’Oh, so.. Harry’s adding on the extra ones that we have?’’ I ask, still rather unsure of why Harry would let them do that.

But hey, if it were me I would join in with them, so I can’t blame him for anything. ‘’Yeah. He said he made a deal with them. If they go take a nap for a few hours he’ll take them out for ice-cream when they get up.’’ Jana says.

‘’Tell him to make sure they’re dressed warm enough.’’ I sigh. ‘’I did.’’ She nods lightly. ‘’Great minds think alike.’’ I wink at her before looking down at Tristan. ‘’Someone was hungry, aye?’’ I mumble to him.

I take the bottle from the baby’s mouth, he wasn’t too happy about that. I sit on the table and raise him up. I get him situated on my shoulder after throwing the blanket over it, just incase he throws up again.

Baby vomit isn’t as bad as regular vomit. But it still smells awkward.

I put my hand on his back and softly start patting him, hoping that he’ll do this soon so I can continue on holding and feeding him. It took him forever to burp, which is nothing like me. I’m kidding, I’m not that gross.

I clear my throat as Jana sits her hands on the table, fiddling with her wedding and engagement rings. ‘’Baby, how’s your um.. uh, your wrist?’’ I ask as I look at her wrist.

‘’Its fine.’’ She mumbles lightly, shrugging a little. ‘’How’s that spot on your neck.’’ I wink lightly as she looks up at me. ‘’You tell me.’’ She smiles as she pulls her scarf down along with the neck of her jacket and shirt.

There it was, a big hickey right on the side of her neck, trust me though that wasn’t the only one, nor was it the only place on her body. ‘’What can I say.. I’m good at make up sex.’’ I smirk lightly as I whisper it, just in case anyone was listening to us.

‘’Trust me, I know.’’ She smirks back. ‘’We weren’t supposed to do that.’’ I say, still patting Tristan’s back. Hurry up please. ‘’Oh well.’’ Jana shrugs lightly before adjusting her scarf back and fixing her jacket.

‘’You’re good at any time of sex.’’ She sighs with a smile. ‘’I know.’’ I nod lightly, biting my lip as she glances up at me, rolling her eyes with a smirk on that pretty face of hers.

‘’Anyways, did you get the stuff you needed?’’ I ask as I glance at the bags sitting on the floor. ‘’Yep. Got the rest of the presents we forgot and I picked us up some things we didn’t have.’’ She nods lightly.

‘’What kind of things?’’ I raise my eyebrows. ‘’You know… just.. things.’’ She laughs lightly. I know exactly what things she referring to, and I like the thought and the feeling.
