**Its a long one, sorry!**

Katie walked into the living room happily smiling at Niall, who was shyly looking up at her, sucking his thumb.
"Hello Nialler." Katie cooed, Niall suddenly felt safe as her warm voice instantly soothed him, Zayn could be heard "Aww"-ing. Niall blushed.
"Hewwo." Niall mumbled, shyly looking at his feet. Katie smiled and looked at the boys.
"He's dead sweet. Never normally any trouble. You know where the food is, toys and supplies are upstairs in the nursery.." Zayn began rattling off where everything was for Niall.
"Zayn, chill out! I know how to look after a baby." Katie laughed, chucking her long straight brown hair behind her head. Zayn blushed slightly and looked over his shoulder to see the rest of his bandmates were gathered around and behind him.
"Alright Katie. We really appreciate you looking after Niall for us." Zayn smiled happily, the boys nodding and smiling behind him. "We won't be long, but we don't know roughly how long the interview is." Zayn explained further. Katie nodded.
"Liam will text me. I'm sure I can cope." Katie gave a small laugh, indicating a shy Niall.
"Okay. Bye babe." Liam walked to Katie and gave her a kiss on her cheek, making the brunette smile. Katie smiled and went to pick Niall up from the sofa, gathering him up into her arms, the blonde was actually very light. Katie put her arms around Nialls waist and bum, making sure he wouldn't fall or wobble. Keeping him steady, she smiled and faced the boys.
"Love you Liam, bye boys!" Katie said with an enthusiastic smile. Niall reached out to Zayn and the boys.
"No go!!" Niall said sadly, Zayn bit his lip and gave Niall a kiss on the cheek.
"Niall, you be a good boy for Katie. Okay?" Zayn told Niall lightly giving him a serious look. Niall nodded obediently.
"Okay" Niall said. One by one the boys said goodbye to Katie and gave Niall kisses and love, leaving the two at the doorstep, waving them off as they sped down the road and towards London. Katie lightly bounced Niall on her hip as the car sped out of eyesight, Niall gave a smile.
"Well Nialler, it's just me and you!" Katie smiled, carrying Niall on her hip upstairs to his nursery to play, placing him on the floor and getting out various toys and teddies for him. Niall looked up at Katie in awe, seemingly fascinated by something. In fact, Niall felt a sort of, motherly image of Katie. Niall snapped out of his daydream and shook his head in frustration at his thoughts, telling was Liam's Girlfriend and he shouldn't think of her like that. Katie placed his teddy in his lap, smiling at him.
"What would you like to do baby?" Katie asked politely. "We can watch a film, play with your toys.." Katie began rattling off ideas to Niall, his mind raced of something to play. Niall's playful mind went blank. He missed his bandmates. He missed his Mummy...he missed his Daddy too. Katie saw this and in attempt to cheer him up, picked him up and bounced him on her hip, making him giggle. Niall buried his head into her shoulder as she slowed down, making Niall's giggles subside.
"Miss Mummy and Daddy." Niall mumbled. Katie sighed.
"I know babe, I know. They will be back before you know it!" Katie said cheerfully. Niall smiled sadly.
"Come on Nialler, what would you like to do?" Katie asked again. Niall shrugged and played with his feet.
"Oh baby.." Katie sighed, taking Niall upstairs to his nursery and laying him on the floor.
"Here you go babe." Katie smiled as she got out a large box of toys for Niall.
Niall's eyes widened, he smiled up at Katie happily beginning to play with the toys. Katie watched him for a few moments before going downstairs.
"Niall, I'm just gonna make a coffee, stay here okay?" Katie said, exiting Niall's room to make a cup of coffee. Niall nodded and happily carried on making a house for his teddy, Zarry Jr.
Niall looked around the room, wondering what he could do. He left his toys on the floor in his nursery and crawled into Zayn's room. Niall looked around Zayn's room curiously, crawling around on the floor, looking around for literally nothing. Curiosity got the best of Niall, and Niall crawled up and onto Zayn's bed, which was a lot higher than you'd think it would be, sitting on the duvets like a king, beaming around proudly as he felt so tall up on the bed. Niall heard Katie coming back up the stairs and went to playfully hide himself under the duvets, he squirmed under the blankets on Zayn's bed and wriggled to the back, he lost his sense of direction and couldn't see, the black covers made it dark and stuffy under there, Niall crawled forwards but suddenly his torso lost footing, his head fell forward, clumsily falling to the ground head first.
"Owwww!" Niall mumbled, clutching the side of his forehead and wincing in pain as his hand touched his forehead.
"Oh god Niall!!" Katie cried, slamming her cup of coffee down onto Zayn's bedside table and running to pick Niall up from the floor. Niall rubbed his head, where a small bump had began to form on his forehead, just above his left eyebrow. Katie cuddled him in her arms softly cooing and kissing his head, Niall shuffled and stuck his thumb in his mouth.
"Oh sweet pea, I thought you had fell down the stairs or something!" Katie laughed, relieved he had only fell off the bed and not the stairs or from somewhere dangerously high up. Niall smiled.
"Sorry Katie.." He smiled cutely up at her, seeing the worry in her eyes made him feel guilty, he reassured her he was okay. Katie kissed his cheeks with motherly love.
"As long as your okay darling." Katie said gently. Niall nodded.
"Can I watch some cartoons?" Niall asked cutely, sucking his thumb. Katie tugged his thumb gently out of Nialls mouth and got his blue pacifier, sticking it in his mouth instead he sucked on it contently.
"Ofcourse, Your Daddies will be home soon too." Katie smiled happily as she carried Niall downstairs, her coffee in hand.
"Yay!" Niall beamed happily clapping his hands together as Katie placed him into the sofa and turned on SpongeBob SquarePants for him.
"Want some snacks?" Katie asked. Niall nodded excitedly and cutely began singing along to the theme song as Katie went into the kitchen and went to get Niall some snacks. Katie opened the cupboards and examined the options.
Cheese Cheetos, Salt and Vinegar Crisps, Nah...
Katie's eyes scanned further along the rows of snacks, and her eyes set on a large package.
Tangfastics. (Research them if you don't know what they are! Please, it will make sense if you do this!)
The perfect treat! Katie thought, pouring the package of fizzy jelly sweets into a bowl and walking to Niall with the bowl of sweets. Nialls eyes widened at the sight of the sweets, he knew they were not really allowed, they made Niall hyper. Very very hyper.
Niall happily grinned and thanked Katie, who ruffled his hair in response, not knowing the effect they would have on the young boy who began munching and sucking on the fizzy sweets. In less than ten minutes Niall had finished the entire bowl off, and he could barely sit in his seat, he was jittery and jumpy as a flea. Katie cursed silently as she realised her error. Niall was erratic and excited, his eyes frantically looked around the room as if he was chasing a fly with his eyes. Katie looked at the time: 2:30pm.
"Nap time Nialler!" Katie announced happily clasping her hands together, going to pick Niall up and take him upstairs. Niall shook his head and refused to let her take him more than three steps upstairs.
"Nuh-uh! Not tired!!" Niall grinned playfully bouncing on her hip, indicating he had loads of energy left and did not wanna go to bed. Katie ignored this and tried to carry on walking up the stairs, which was near impossible to do with Niall bouncing and wriggling on her hip.
"Niall stop wriggling please. You need to go to sleep." Katie said, placing Niall in his cot. Niall shook his head again.
"Nuuuh! Wanna play!!" He insisted, trying to jump out of his cot, in alarm Katie held him back and held her hands around his waist, stopping him jumping in his cot as if it were a trampoline!
"Niall! Stop please!" Katie began to get scared, mainly for Nialls safety and not being able to control his amount of energy.
"Plaaaaaaay Katie Plaaaaay!" Niall giggled manically as he stood in his cot, playing with Katie's necklace and acting like a frantic mad person.
"Niall please." Katie began to lose the will to live, pressing her finger to her lips to tell Niall to be quiet. Needless to say, it didn't work.
"Nuuuuh!" Niall grinned, jumping up and down in his cot again. Katie got his pacifier and placed it between his lips, momentarily surprising Niall who spat it out, shooting it across the room. Niall fell back into his cot, literally rolling around laughing. Katie rolled her eyes and retrieved the pacifier, placing it on the side for now, placing her hands on her hips and not knowing what to do with Niall.
"Want some help there babe?" A familiar voice was heard from the Nursery door, making Katie gasp and turn around quickly, happily gasping and wrapping her arms around Liam's shoulders. She saw the other four members of the boyband at the door and told them everything.
"...And I made the mistake of giving him fizzy sweets, he's really hyperactive." Katie bit her lip at the last part. The boys laughed.
"We will calm him down, Lou, go heat a bottle please." Liam said, wrapping his arm around Katie's hip and kissing her cheek softly, making her blush lightly. Louis nodded and ran downstairs to make Niall a bottle of warm milk to calm him down. By now Niall had lost mainly all control of his bladder so the pills were not used any more, they weren't needed to be used.
