Why did it have to be me?

Chapter 20

Nialls POV
     The boys and I where going through our set list and warming up for tonight. "No water tonight boys!" Paul yelled. Louis and Liam looked at each other and picked us two water bottles and chased Paul around the stadium. "Niall do you want to play Midnight Memories for us?" Our vocal and instrumental couch asked. I walked over to the guitars and picked up mine and played as Harry sang. "Oh you boys are perfect." She said. Harry and I shot her a smile and said thank you.

    "Mate your phone is ringing." Harry said. "Niall what have we said the phone stays off." Paul said. It was a unknown number so I hung up but they left a voicemail. Who leaves voicemails? "Yeah I know I'm sorry just hang on and I'll turn it off." I said than sat next to Harry and played the voicemail for both of us to hear.
Hey Niall it's Mike London's step dad I'm just calling to let you know that we took London to the hospital her water broke. Your baby is on her way if you will give me a call back that would be great. Bye.
     This can't be happening not right now! I got up and walked to our dressing room. "Niall phone." Paul said I just ignored him. "Hello?" Mike asked. "It's Niall." I said. "She's doing okay, she isn't far along at all we are going to be here for a while." He said. "Mike do me a favor." I said. "Okay?" He asked. "Tell London I'm sorry I'll try my best to get there." I said. "Okay." He said than hang up. I could feel my eyes start to tear up. I quickly wiped them away and went back out to the boys.

     "Everything okay?" Liam asked. "No everything is not okay. I'm stuck in New Mexico when London is in labor and I can't be there to see my daughter for the first time." I blurted. "Niall calm down. I know you want to be there but we need you here." Louis said. I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "Right now I have something more important going on, we have done shows without one of us before." I said. "What's going on over here?" Paul asked. "Paul I need to go back to Beverly Hills." I said. "Niall you have a show you can't leave." Paul said. "Paul I have to go." I said as I felt my voice start to crack. "Niall what is going on why are you crying?" Paul asked.

      "London is in labor and I'm going to miss everything." I said. Paul's eyes widened. "As a dad myself you should never miss that I'll get ahold of Simon just take a deep breath everything will be fine. "What is everything isn't okay oh my god she's not due for another 5 weeks what if something is wrong?" I asked. "Niall look at me some babies come earlier than other I'm sure everything is okay now I'm going to get call Simon." Paul patted my back and walked away.

    It's 4:30 show is in 30 minutes it's been 3 hours since I called Mike. He has been keeping in touch with me and I'm scared I haven't heard anything from Simon and I have a feeling I won't be able to make it. "Alright Niall Simon finally got back to me he said your flight leaves at 8 you still have to do the show." Paul said. "What no that's in 1 in a half hours I'm not going to make it." I said. "Niall I'm sorry that was the only available time." Paul said. "Now it's show time go." He said pushing me on the elevator. Ugh this sucks. I'm not going to be my happy go lucky self tonight and the fans will notice then they with tweet ability it. This sucks.

    After the show we ran to the bus. "What time is it?" I asked Paul. "6:30 Niall don't worry we will get you to the air port." Paul said. My phone started to blow up and it was Twitter. A bunch of fans had tweeted about the show tonight.

Omg tonight was amazing thank you one direction for actually making my year!!

Did anyone notice how Niall was distant from the other boys tonight?

What a night. This one is definitely for the books.

Aww Niall looks upset what's wrong?

    All the tweets where the same they either talked about me, the other boys or how tonight was the best night of their life. I gotta say today isn't going to well for me. "We got your bags up front new are dropping you off before we go to the hotel." Paul said. "Thank you." I said with a smile. "Will we get a picture of her?" Harry asked. "Most likely but you guys are going to meet her anyways when you get back to Cali." I said. "Hey next time we see you your going to be a dad." Liam said pulling me into a hug. "I'm excited." I said. "Hey what about us?" Harry asked. I laughed than pulled both of them into a hug. "Alright love you guys I'll see you in a few days." They all waved and I climbed on the plane.

    I decided to text Mike and tell him I was headed back to California.
Me- I'm on the plane now take off is soon I'll be there as quick as I can!
     Mike-Try to be quick it's getting close and London and reducing not do anything until you get here.
     Me- Do not let her do that if it's time it's time tell her not to wait on me I'll be there soon.
     Mike- Will do!

    If I miss it I will be upset but it's not something you can slow down. I'm trying my hardest to be there. "Sir can you get off your phone the plane is taking off." the flight attendant said. "Of course sorry." I said. She gave me a smile and shot one back. I tried to get comfortable but I can't. "Hey your from that band." A old lady said. "Oh yes I'm Niall." I held out my hand for her to shake. "Annie it's lovely to meet you." She said with a smile. "Why correct me if I'm wrong but honey you look upset." She said. "Yeah I am." I said with a frown. "Oh honey I'm sorry what's going on? If you don't mind me asking." She said. I mean should I tell her she looks like she's in her 80s she's not a fan. And she's quite nice.

    "My girlfriend or sorry my friend is having her baby and I feel like I'm going to miss it." I said. "Her baby or your baby?" She asked with a smile. "Yeah our baby I'm just scared you know." I said. "You know what when I was your age I went through the same thing I was pregnant with twins and the dad couldn't make it because he was working but you know he never left. He stayed until his last breath that was my true love." She said. "Oh I'm so sorry." I said. "It's okay I know he's still with me." She said with a smile. "You know what promise me something." She said. "What's that?" I asked.

    "Promise me that you will always be there for your girlfriend and your kind until your last dying breath. Show them love even if you might not always want to." She said. "I promise." I said. "I can see it in your eyes that young lady mean a lot to you." She said. "Yeah she does but it's complicated." I said. "It's never complicated you will always find trouble talking to someone or showing love for someone your care dearly about. But if you didn't care about her you wouldn't be flying to her right now." She said. "Thank you Annie." I said with a smile. "Hey what are grandmas for." She said. "Is that where you are going to visit your family?" I asked. "Oh yes my grandson has a huge football game and my granddaughter is getting married and I wouldn't miss it for the world." She said.

     Although I have no idea who this lady is she actually helped me. Even though I might not alway talk about it London does mean a lot to me. The other day I messed up I yelled at her when I really just wanted to talk to her. I feel bad and Annie helped me see that I can never leave Addison and London's side of if I find it hard to be a part of their life. I always need to stay. 

"Hey good luck." Annie said than walked away. I got my stuff and got a taxi. "Where to?" The guy asked. "Beverly Hills Hospital please." I said. He nodded and drove. Once I got to the hospital I wasted no time I got my stuff and ran inside. "Hello sir oh my god your Niall Horan. The resectionist said. "Okay I have no time for this I need the room for London Conners please." I said. I was starting to get a little worked up. "Miss I'm in a hurry please." The nurse next to here pushed her aside and looked up London's room. "Room 323 A Mr.Horan." She said with a smile. "Thank you." I said than ran to the elevator. I ran to her room opened the door and dropped my things and wasted no time and ran over to her.
