My forever

Chapter forty-six

"Church? You want me to go to church?"

"You make it sound like a bad thing." Aunt Karen laughs.

"No its just... Im jewish and-"

"You'll be fine and besides afterwards were going to the park." she tells me and I huff.

"Fine." I get up and take a quick shower before putting on a short floral dress and a pair of black heels.

I put Nolan in a black onsie that says 'I love you to he moon and back' in white letters. I pick him and hold him out in front of me as he kicks his little feet and squeals.

"Mabel come on! Were going to be late." Kierstin says as she walks by my bedroom door.

I slip a pair of socks on Nolan before i grab his bag and put him in his carseat. I carry him out to Aunt Karens van and I get in. I put Nolan in the seat next to me and I close the door. Soon were rolling out of the driveway to the church.

Turns out they go to the church across the street from my house. I thought just my uncle went here. We get out and walk up to the church before going in. We sit in the back row and a lot of people stare at me.

"Why are they staring? Do they know who I am?" I whisper to Kierstin and she shrugs.

"I think its because your new." she whispers back.

I pick up Nolan out of his carrier and the lady in front of us turns around.

"Hi my name is Dee. You must be new." she offers her hand and I shift Nolan to one arm to shake her hand.

"Its nice to meet you im May." I smile.

"Nice to meet you May. I just have to say you and your baby are goregous." She tells me.

"Aw thanks." I smile at her.

"How old is he?" she asks.

"Two months." I answer.

"Oh wow." she smiles at Nolan. "And how old are you? You look really young."

"Im twenty." I answer and she looks up at me.

"So you got pregnant when you were nineteen?" she asks.

"Uhh yes. Is that a problem?" I ask her.

"Oh no darling. Its just... wait never mind! I see that ring on your finger. I thought your son was born out of wedlock." she says loudly earning us looks.

"No no. Ive been married for a year now." I force a smile because now of course im thinking of Harry.

"Well congrats... where is your husband now?" she asks.

"At work." I answer.

That should be true right?

"Aww well I hope he can come next time." she says.

I doubt ill be coming next time.

"We'll see." I force another smile and she turns around. Thank god!

Nolan stirs in his sleep and makes a whining sound so I step out of the row and begin walking up and down the back row.

I listen to the pastor while putting Nolan to sleep. By the end Nolan is asleep in his car seat carrier. People get up and leave when the pastor dismisses. We walk out and I can't help but stare at the house.

"You okay?" Kylea asks me.

"Oh yeah, I'm.. im fine."

I offer a smile and she narrows her eyes but doesn't say anymore. We soon arrive in downtown canal and everyone crosses the street to the park except me. I go into the antique shop with Nolan in my arms and I look around for the little old lady.

"Mrs.Hale?" I call as I walk further in the shop.

"Who is it?" She comes out of the back and her eyes narrow. "Do I know you?"

"Yes its me! Mabel Bickham." I tell er and her eyes light up.

"Oh! I'm sorry dearie! I didn't recognize you! Your hair is just so short and blond now!" She says as she comes toward me and then she looks down at Nolan. "Oh my goodness is that the little bundle of joy my granddaughter has talked nonstop about?"

"Yes it is." I laugh.

"Ohh he's beautiful!" She says as she lets him wrap his hand around her finger.

"Thank you." I smile.

"So where's Mr.Styles? Did he leave you behind?" She asks.

"He's... well I don't know where he is. He's on tour." I tell her and her eyebrows draw together.

"No he's not. He was here just twenty minutes ago."

What?

Harry's POV

"Well this is a cute little town with a bunch of cute little people." Louis says as he looks around.

"Yeah Mabel loves it." I smile but then I frown. "All the more reason she's here."

"So that old lady that we just talked to... do you think we should go back and give her your number so if she sees Mabel she can call you?" Louis asks and I stop.

"Yeah I think so." we turn back around and go the way the came.

We turn the corner just as the shop door opens. A pretty blond steps out of the store looking frantic. She holds a baby carrier in her hand and she walks across the street with a skip in her step.

Mabel used to do that when she was in a hurry.

She walks to the park and slows down. A girl walks over to her and the blond starts talking frantically. The brunette leans over and catches my eye.

Kierstin.

The blond turns around and I inhale sharply.

The blond girl is Mabel.
