The whole day Abby and Niall spent their time in their room. One reading books and the other doing his office works.
They even ate dinner at their own balcony.
It was the next morning when the couple decided to join the rest of the members of the mansion downstairs for breakfast.
As they sat behind the big brown rectangular table, Bobby eyed Abby suspiciously.

"I don't see any difference" he spoke the truth.
"That's because we didn't do anything" Abby replied boldly.
"Niall?"
"Just let it go dad" Niall responded irritatingly.
"What do you mean let it go?! Your first born child should be A BOY!" Bobby shouted stomping his cane on the ground shaking the whole room and leaving everyone in silence.

"Not everything goes as we want to" she said calmly.
"Abby" Niall sighed feeling annoyed with the constant battle between his wife and father.
"This is where you are wrong Abby. In this house everything goes as I say" Bobby responded.
"We will not abort this child" she said firmly.
"Fine! But remember that she will not be accepted in this family and she will not receive a penny from my wealth. So won't you" he threatened standing up.
"Do you think I married your son for money?"
"I just warned you" he walked away but stopped as Abby spoke again.

"Are you doing all of this because I'm a Jackson? Or you would do the same to any other woman as well?" She asked.
Bobby once again faced her.
"First of all you Were a Jackson. Now you are a Horan. Second .. your father being a Jackson is a different story and it's not related to this" he ended the conversation and walked away.

"Mrs Horan?" Dina called her.
She looked at her.
"Your mother is in the yard. She wants to see you along with your brother"
"My mom?" She asked standing up looking through the huge window for a second.
It's been so long since she had seen her family.
"Excuse me" she said politely wrapping the big shawl around her and leaving the table rushing to the yard.

"Abby!" Ed said excitedly.
"Hi trouble" she said hugging him tightly. She did miss her little brother a lot.
"Mom" she stood straight hugging her mother.
"Hi honey" her mother said sweetly.
"Come in" Abby said.
"No it's fine. We just came to check on you. He did miss you a lot" Angelina pointed at Ed.
"Dad doesn't know you're here, does he?" Abby asked.
Angelina shook her head looking down feeling ashamed.
"He still doesn't want me to be his daughter?" Abby's voice shook a bit.
"He says that but deep down he still loves you and you're still his daughter" Angelina said.
Abby just sighed and nodded.

"I'm sorry. I feel like it's my fault" Angelina said suddenly.
"Why?"
"I pressured you"
"Mom it's not your fault. You didn't pressure me. Don't blame yourself okay? I would've married Niall eventually"
"How's the baby?" Angelina asked lighting up the mood.
"She's good" Abby smiled looking down at her bump.
"So it's a she" Angelina said.
"It is"
"I can't wait to meet her" Ed said.
"She can't wait to meet her uncle Ed either" Abby smiled at her brother.
"Okay honey we need to go" Angelina said.
"This soon?" Abby's face fell.
"Sorry honey but we have to. I don't want your father to find out we were here. We will try to visit you again"
"Okay" she said hugging her mother and brother goodbye.

The atmosphere during Dinner at the Horan's mansion was tense.
They all ate their food in silence and went into the living room for drinking tea.
Finally Abby decided to ask her father in-law the question that was on her mind from the very first day.

"There's one question in my mind which I would want to ask if that's okay" She said calmly looking at Bobby.
He nodded at her so she continues.
"Why do you hate my family so much?"
"Are you sure you are ready to hear the answer?"
"I am"
"Well-"
"Dad no. Don't say it" Niall interrupted.
"Why not?" Abby looked at him.
"Because Abby you are pregnant and you are not in that condition to hear the answer"
"W-What do you mean? What's the answer that's going to affect me that much? I want to know"
"Niall is right" Bobby stood up adjusting his hat.
"As long as I am not fond of this baby, but now that you have kept her, I don't want to cause any miscarriage. Because you will blame us" he took his cane and began walking away.
"Is the answer that scary and harsh?" She asked.
"Oh Abby" Bobby stopped walking but didn't turn around.
"More than you can imagine" he said and exited the room.
She was afraid. Afraid to find out the truth. Maybe her husband was right. She shouldn't look for the answers right now.

The couple were laying in bed trying to sleep.
Suddenly Abby gasped placing her hand on her bump.
"What happened?" Niall asked concerned.
"The baby .. she kicked" she said with a happy smile.
"That was her first time kicking" she said excitedly.
"Great" he said uninterested laying back down facing the other direction.
She looked at him brokenly.
Shouldn't he be happy that his child kicked for the first time? Doesn't he want to feel it?
"Don't you want to feel it? She's still kicking" she said sadly.
"It's been a long day Abby. I'm really tired" he said without facing her.
She swallowed the lump in her throat and closed her eyes drifting off to sleep.

A/N
I know. I know. Niall loves baby girls. But it was too common in my books and other fanfictions so I changed it in here..
