Way Of Life - H.S & N.H

It's Good To Be Back

So this was it, One Direction were making a comeback.

The news hadn't spread quite as far at this point. Only the boys' managements and families
Obviously the fans would be the last to know but it would be a momentous occasion when they did.

For now though, Harry, Niall, Shay and Heather were out for dinner. Niall and Harry didn't really have a plan on how to announce the reunion to their girls. Arguably the biggest fangirls of them all.

"Is there a special occasion we don't know about?" Shay asked quizzically. She cocked her head to one side as she looked over at Harry and then Niall.

The boys looked at each other before smirking.

"Wait what was that look? What's going on?!" Heather asked now.

Once again the boys said nothing. They burst into laughter as they watched the expressions on their wives faces.

"I hate you both! Just tell us what's going on. Don't think I can take the suspense any longer!" Shay threw her arms up into the air. She hit her glass in the process which caused some of her drink to spill onto the table.

"Dammit. That was your fault!" She scolded Harry and Niall.

"Alright, alright we'll tell you. You've gotta promise to not freak out though. We're in a restaurant after all." Niall spoke now.

Shay had finished mopping up the spill and looked over at Heather.

"We're not promising anything. Now spill." Shay smiled excitedly.

"Thought you already spilled Sweet Pea?" Harry joked.

Shay jabbed Harry in the arm with her fork. Harry yelped at the sensation and rubbed his hand over the area.

"All jokes aside, this is pretty huge. Neither of us really knew how to break this news so we're just gonna come right out and say it." Harry switched his gaze from Niall, to Heather and then to Shay.

The girls waited with baited breaths. Hoping someone would have the guts to spit it out soon.

"We're getting the band back together. Surprise!" Niall whisper yelled. He wanted to shout but the restaurant was kinda busy and it would be rude.

Both girls were frozen in place. The words didn't seem to have sunken in quite yet.

Harry and Niall waited for any kind of response or movement from either of them.

"I think we broke them." Niall leant over and whispered to Harry.

"Possibly. I can't tell whether they're happy or sad." Harry whispered back.

"Earth to Heather." Niall laughed as he placed his hand over Heather's on the table. Heather looked back her husband with a confused look.

"This is a joke? You're joking right? It's been years! How did, when did, oh my god!" Heather babbled. Covering her mouth with her free hand.

"Nope. No jokes. Scouts honour." Niall held up his other hand and gestured the signature move from the scouts.

Harry watched the two of them with a silly grin on his face before turning to Shay.

"What'd you think Shay? I really wanna know because you've not said anything for a long time and it's worrying me." He pulled at his lip with his fingers.

Shay quickly came back from her daze and looked fondly at the man next to her.

"What do I think? H, this is, what the heck?! I'm so confused but also so happy. And excited and oh my god, is this real?!" Shay was talking a mile a minute at this point.
