Chapter Two

Louis woke up, and got dressed. Harry looked at him.

"Is she your girlfriend?" Harry asked Louis. Louis looked at him. "Nikki," Harry added.

"I didn't ask her," Louis replied. Harry looked at him.

"Really?" He asked, shocked as the other boys walked in.

"What?" Niall asked, grabbing some pizza that was in the fridge.

"Louis over here," Harry said, patting Louis' back, "didn't ask that lovely girl that he was video chatting with to be his girlfriend." Liam gasped.

"Why?" He said, still shocked.

"I don't know…" Louis told him.

"Do you not like her? Is it weird?" Harry questioned.

"No! I love her! She's amazing!" Louis quickly replied.

"Is it her kid?" Harry asked. Zayn looked at him.

"She has a kid?" Zayn exclaimed, looking at Louis. Louis nodded.

"Her name's Hayleigh," Louis told them, smiling. "She thought I was her dad." Harry's eyes went wide.

"Let's go boys!" Paul yelled. The boys got off of the tour bus, and walked into the mall.

Nikki was tidying up the living room of her new home. Hayleigh was playing with blocks. Nikki's phone went off.

From: Louis

She texted back.

From: Nikki

From: Louis

From: Nikki

Nikki smiled. Louis was going to drive down just to see her. Hayleigh looked at her mother, who was smiling like an idiot. Nikki walked over, and picked Hayleigh up. Her phone dinged, meaning that she got a text.

From: Louis

Tht sounds good…I gtg…stay beautiful x

Nikki smiled even more. Louis called her beautiful. Hayleigh pulled at her mother's hair, wanting her attention.

"Mommy!" She exclaimed, and Nikki looked at her.

"Yes?" Nikki asked. Hayleigh pointed to a coloring book. Nikki smiled, and took her to the coloring book and crayons. Hayleigh started to color.

Louis had just left the signing. Thank god. The girls were NUTS. He slowly entered NYC. He turned onto the street that Nikki brought him to last night, and saw her car. He parked behind the car, and walked up to the apartment.

"Hayleigh!" Nikki yelled, chasing Hayleigh around their apartment. Hayleigh giggled, being in only her tiger towel. Nikki quickly grabbed her, and blew raspberries on her belly. Hayleigh giggled more as Nikki walked into Hayleigh's room. Nikki dressed Hayleigh in jeans and a tee shirt that had a tiger on it. She ruffled Hayleigh's curly strawberry blonde hair, and Hayleigh giggled. Nikki heard a knock on the door. She picked Hayleigh up, and walked to the door. She opened the door, and saw Louis standing there.

"Louis!" She exclaimed, hugging him. He hugged back. Hayleigh looked at Louis.

"Dada!" She exclaimed, and Louis chuckled.

"I'm not your dad," Louis told Hayleigh, sadly, and he slowly released Nikki. She let him in.

"How'd you get here so early?" Nikki asked him, while brushing Hayleigh's hair.

"Left the signing. The girls were nuts." Louis plainly told her. Hayleigh jumped into Louis' lap, and hugged him. Nikki smiled at them. Hayleigh adored Louis, just like her. Louis seemed to like her. Hayleigh pointed to her shoes. Nikki got her shoes, and put them on. Hayleigh smiled, and grabbed her coat. Nikki helped her, and grabbed her coat. She slipped on her green sweat shirt, and picked Hayleigh up.

"Louis, you wanna got to the park?" Nikki asked.

"Yes!" He screamed, standing up. They walked out the door, towards the park.

Hayleigh was being pushed on the swings by Louis. Nikki stood next to him.

"Who's her father?" Louis asked.

"A dead beet." Nikki replied simply. "Didn't even show up for her birth." Hayleigh squealed as the swing went higher.

"I'm sorry," Louis told her. She looked at him.

"It's not your fault. He used me for sex. I was just the girl her knocked up." Nikki told him as the grey clouds rolled in. Hayleigh squealed as she went higher. Louis grabbed Nikki's hand.

"I'd never do that," He said, while looking into her eyes. She smiled.

"So, I got yelled at by Harry this morning for not asking you this. Will you be my girlfriend?" Louis asked her.

"Yes," Nikki told him, smiling. Louis pulled her in for a kiss.

Hayleigh had stopped swinging, and was getting impatient. She started complaining. Nikki and Louis quickly pulled away, and Nikki got Hayleigh out of the swing.

"We gotta go home baby. It's gonna rain." Nikki told Hayleigh. Hayleigh nodded, pouting. Nikki began walking home as Louis wrapped an arm around her waist. She smiled. Hayleigh yawned, resting her head on her mother's shoulder.

"Sleepy Haylz?" Nikki asked Hayleigh, who nodded. Nikki rubbed her back as they walked into their apartment building. She smiled at her sleeping daughter, and laid her in her crib.
