"So what's tonight's event?" Bobby asked.
Both families were sitting behind the dining table.
"Well. Yesterday we found out the gender of the baby" Niall smiled.
"Oh my! What is it? What is it?!" Ava asked.
They all chuckled lightly.
Niall glanced at Valerie holding her hand gently with a smile on his face.
She gave him a light smile as well.
"We're having a boy" he said.
"That's amazing. Congratulations" they all said.
"And a girl" he completed.
"Twins?!" They asked in unison feeling shocked.
"Twins" Niall said with a happy smile.

Emma looked at her broken daughter. She knew Valerie's trying to fit in this family and in this life. She knew Valerie's trying to accept the fact that Niall is her husband and she's a Horan.

"Then it's obvious what the name of the boy is going to be." Greg said.
They looked at him confused.
"He's going to be named after his favorite uncle Greg" he said causing everyone to laugh.
"I'm not sure you're his favorite uncle." Niall said.
"But I'm his only uncle" he furrowed his eyebrows.
Once again everyone laughed.
"Is there any rules regarding choosing names?" Frank asked curiously.
"Yeah. The father chooses the name." Bobby answered.
"Always?" Emma asked.
"Yes. The father is the one who should name the baby. I named my children myself." He explained.
That worried Valerie.
What if Niall chooses a name that she doesn't like?

"How have you been?" Emma asked Valerie while walking in the mansion's yard.
"Good" she replied.
"How have you really been?"
"Mom I'm okay. Really"
"I'm happy to hear that"
"I'm just a bit worried"
"About what?"
"What if Niall chooses a name that I don't like?"
"Then secretly change their names" she said causing Valerie to laugh.
"Imagine Niall figures out I did that. He would" she paused not sure how to end the sentence.
"He would what? Kill you?"
She shook her side to side.
"He won't" she said.
"How are you sure? He's the leader of Circle for a reason."
"Niall loves me" Valerie sighed stopping in her tracks.
Emma stopped walking and faced her.

"He loves me mom. That's the problem. He wouldn't kill me. He wouldn't let go of me because he loves me. Non of this would've happened if he wasn't in love with me. So to hurt me he would" she stopped again.
"He would what?"
"Forget it" she muttered.

Niall won't kill Valerie because he loves her. So to hurt her, he would kill her loved and close ones. And for sure he will start with Jacob.
That was in Valerie's head. She didn't say it out loud so Emma wouldn't have to worry about it.

"Valerie do you wish Niall never loved you?" Emma asked.
"Is that even a question? Of course."
"Then do something so he falls out of love"
"I can't. If I take one wrong step he'll get mad"
"You said it yourself he won't do anything because he loves you."
"No. I said he won't kill me but he Would hurt me"
"How?"
"By killing you. By killing Jacob"
Emma stayed quiet.
"Let's just go back inside" Valerie said and walked inside. Shortly after Emma followed her.

"Hey Ava can I ask you a question?" Valerie said sitting with her on the other side of the living room.
"Yeah sure"
"In the gang, does the girl in the relationship has any saying at all?"
"To be honest rarely." She sighed.
"And um .. girls who are born in this family, how is their marriage life? Is it forced or" she trailed off.
"No it's not forced. We can marry whoever we want as long as our family approves. I wish you could do that too." She said feeling bad for her.
Valerie just smiled.

"Honey we're off" Emma said.
Valerie hugged her parents and they left.
"We better go to bed. Today was a long day" Bobby said.
"Goodnight everyone" Maura said and followed him upstairs.
"I'm off too" Greg said.
"Me too" Ava left too.

"Ladies clean here up" Niall commanded.
"Yes sir" they said in unison.
"Come on love, let's go to bed"
Niall held Valerie's hand and guided her upstairs.

"Niall" Valerie said while laying down rubbing her stomach.
"Yes love"
"Why did you fall in love with me?" She blurted out.
He furrowed his eyes and looked at her.
"There were thousands of girls out there, why me?" She asked.
"They were thousands of girls out there, but non of them were you" he answered.
"What made me, me?"
"Everything about you, made you, you."
"No that's not an answer."
"Your beauty. your smile, Your eyes, your lips, your personality" he rambled.
"You only saw me twice from a distance, how did you fell in love?"
"Valerie what is this?" He asked getting annoyed.
"It's me asking a question."
"I've been watching for so long, okay? That's how I fell in love with you. It killed me seeing you with someone else but it's over now" he answered.
"How do you think he is feeling now? Just like how you used to feel."

He tensed and his grip tightened
"What was rule number five?" He asked through gritted teeth.
"I don't care about the rules right now"
"Listen. Just because you're pregnant it doesn't mean I won't punish you. So if I were you, I would be careful what I was saying. Especially when I knew what is going to happen to people I care and I love" he snapped.
Valerie gained back her senses and stopped talking.
"I'm sorry" She said quietly.
"It's okay. I guess it was your hormones." He said coldly.
