It was all great for around another two weeks time, Niall had fully immersed into his headspace, the boys were all happy, everything was going amazingly well.
Until the boys had to break Niall out of his headspace so they could do a concert, on their tour. It was gonna be hard, they knew that much.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Come on guys, we have to try. He'll understand he needs to adjust." Liam argued, sending the worried Zayn a look.
"But it's not that easy, he's far too deep into headspace now to break him out of it that easily." Zayn argued, pacing up and down the living room.
"Shut up both of you!" Louis piped up, becoming irritated with them two bickering like an old couple.
Harry sat beside Louis, looking forlorn.
"Just do it, you know that We need to start straight away, he knows it's gotta happen." Louis said sternly. Liam nodded.
"Fine." Zayn muttered, sighing and slumping on to the sofa.
"I'll tell him tomorrow morning." Zayn procrastinated slightly, raising his hands in defeat.
"That sorted then. We're all aware of what's got to happen tomorrow?" Liam asked, looking around at all the boys.
They all nodded.
"Yeah, we start again as soon as he is awake, to prepare him for the day ahead blahty blahty blah." Harry mumbled from his sat at the sofa.
"Harry, just go to bed, your knackered mate." Louis said, nudging Harry.
"Alright. Night guys." Harry said, trudging tiredly upstairs to his bedroom.
"I'm gonna hit the hay too." Zayn mumbled, running his hand through his hair and giving a large yawn.
"Night." Louis and Liam said in unison, once they had watched Zayn and Harry disappear upstairs.
"Liam?" Louis asked. Liam looked up.
"Yeah?"
"Do you think Niall will..?" Louis gulped before continuing. Liam raised his eyebrows. "Do you...think Niall will not be able to..?" Louis whispered worriedly. Liam coughed.
"If he is, we're screwed." Liam confirmed with a glance to Louis. Liam buried his head in his hands.
"Come on Liam, let's get to bed, we've got a long day tomorrow mate." Louis smiled, Liam looked at his friend and nodded.
"Alright. G'night." Liam said, turning the living room night off as he and Louis walked upstairs and departed to their bedrooms.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning the boys were all up early at eight, and all sat around the dining room table; ready to wake Niall up and get him out of his headspace for the concert they had; Niall knew they had a concert, but he would have to be wormed out of his headspace by the boys first.
"Come on Harry, let's go get him up." Zayn said, taking a final sip of his coffee and smiling at Louis and Liam, who got up and began running around the kitchen, making breakfast and getting things ready for the concert.Harry and Zayn walked quietly into Nialls room, both very nervous about Niall, and how he'd take to suddenly having to 'grow up' in a way. They didn't know what to expect, but they knew they couldn't baby Niall as much, he had the headspace of around a two or three year old, so he probably wasn't just gonna snap out of it easily.
"Niall, time to get up!" Harry leaned over the crib bars and rubbed Nialls tummy, making Niall squirm and giggle.
"Come on Ni, get up, we have things to do today." Zayn said, a slightly authoritative tone to his voice.
"Booo.." Niall turned over in his cot and groaned, Harry raised an eyebrow to Zayn.
"Alright Mister..come on now I wouldn't want to punish you this early in the day Niall." Zayn warned, slowly taking the sheets away from Niall, making him whine when the cold air hit his warm body. Niall sat up in his cot and groaned, folding his arms.
"What do we gotta do?" Niall muttered, rubbing his eyes sleepily and stretching in his cot as Harry got some more adult-friendly clothes out for Niall to wear.
"We will tell you at breakfast." Zayn smiled, lifting Niall out of his cot and onto the changing table to dress him for the day ahead, it sure was gonna be a long one by the looks of things.
~*~*~Sorry for all the time skips!~*~*
Zayn carried a slightly grumpy Niall downstairs and placed Niall in his high chair, strapping him in and Harry lovingly placed a plate of cut up waffles and scrambled eggs in front of him, standing to feed Niall.
"Tell me.." Niall grumbled, avoiding the food Harry was trying to get Niall to eat. Harry turned around and looked at his bandmates for some help.
"Alright Ni, we will tell you." Liam stood up and walked over to Niall in his high chair, beginning to explain about him going to have to adjust back to more adult-type life for a few days while they were on tour for their concerts.
"So, that's why we're telling you." Liam finished, Niall almost spat out his scrambled eggs that Harry had almost finished feeding him while Liam had been explaining.
"No! I don't want to!" Niall argued crossly, earning a glare from his bandmates; mainly confused ones.
"But you said you hated being a baby, and we need you to be Big Nialler now." Harry explained, giving up trying to get Niall to finish his food and placing the dishes in to the dishwasher behind him.
"But I wanna stay little.." Niall mumbled moodily leaning back in his highchair.
"Niall, you don't want to stay little on stage do you?" Louis perked up, his blue eyes shining. Niall raised an eyebrow, resistant to say no. Niall just huffed and folded his arms over his chest grumpily.
"Niall, we need you to be a big boy, but your gonna have to wear a diaper on stage." Zayn told the blonde lad. Niall rolled his eyes.
"And there's the catch." Niall mumbled, scratching his arm irritatedly.
"What was that?" Zayn spun around, facing Niall, who was trying to hide a smirk.
"Nothing." Niall grinned sheepishly. Zayn rolled his eyes and got Niall out of the high chair, planting the boy on his two feet, Niall looked up at Zayn, expecting to be carried he looked a little crestfallen.
"You wanna be carried..?" Harry offered, seeing the confusion in Nialls blue eyes.
"N-no!" Niall shot back defensively, looking away from Zayn and the boys and running upstairs to get himself dressed for the day.
"Follow him up Haz." Zayn asked as he bit into his buttery toast. Harry nodded and walked up to Nialls Nursery, seeing Niall agitatedly throwing clothes around the room, ripping them from his wardrobe.
"Niall!" Harry said suddenly, shocking Niall.
"Jesus Harry! Don't do that!" Niall growled as he clutched his chest. Harry stepped forwards, rolling his eyes at the mess Niall had made.
"We don't swear, Niall." Harry reminded him lightly. Niall just ignored him. Harry placed a pair of black jeans and a casual shirt In Nialls arms.
"Okay, cheers." Niall said, going to take his dumb onesie off, waiting for Harry to leave the room so he could get changed.
"Let's get you ready, hop up here babe." Harry patted the changing table beside him. Niall groaned.
"Let me dress myself Harry." Niall argued, pointing to the door. Harry chuckled.
"Come on baby, just because we don't want you in your headspace doesn't mean we're gonna give up looking after you." Harry told Niall, who scoffed and grumbled angrily to himself as he was reluctantly lay on the changing table.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry and Niall fumbled downstairs, Niall arguing with Harry about being able to use his phone.
"Niall I said no and that's the end of it!" Harry shouted, losing his temper slightly and silencing Niall efficiently.
"Come on guys, let's get going, Paul texted me earlier saying he has a hotel arranged for us near our venue and he has it all sorted for us." Louis said happily to the boys, who all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank God for Paul!" Liam laughed, grabbing the car keys and opening the front door, all grabbing their bags, and Nialls baby bag, but in the form of a black Nike backpack this time, and heading out of the door, piling into the car to prepare for their concert tonight, the boys even rehearsed a few songs in the car.
"Come on Niall, join in please." Liam urged as he drove down the motorway towards London. Niall huffed and looked out of the car window. Niall was not excited for this concert.For the next chapter to be released, I wish for this chapter to reach at least 23 votes. Or 24. Either will do, occasionally I will request this!!
