***Carly's POV***
Abby and I are walking through the London airport going to the baggage claim. Abby has been very silent the whole plane ride. I don't know what happened when I left her house yesterday, but something must have happened. When we get to baggage claim we grab our bags and walk outside. It is a little chilly and I just want to find a cab and get out of here. Abby doesn't know that Lucas will be coming here tonight. I think she will be happy that he's coming. Hoping if Lucas comes and proposes again to her; she will take him back. We are on our ride back to the Payne house. Mrs. Payne said Abby and I could stay there while Liam is on tour, and supposedly Mrs. Payne has something to show me. I don't know what it is. When we pull up to the house I glance over at Abby and I see her eyes go wide. "Liam lives here?" "Yes." We grow silent when the cab comes to a stop. We get out of the cab and grab our bags. I start walking to the door, but Abby is motionless. I look back at her and she's gawking at the house. I walk back to her and grab her arm. "It's much nicer inside." Abby finally starts walking and we walk inside. Greta comes to greet us. "Ms. Williams it's so nice to see you again." "It's so nice to be back." I give Greta a smile and motion towards Abby. "This is my best friend Abby. She'll be staying with us for some time" Greta nods with a smile before grabbing our bags. "I'll take your bags to your rooms." She takes off towards the stairs. I turn back to Abby and she was still gawking. I start laughing. She turns to me and glares. "What's so funny?" "You keep gawking at everything." I chuckle at her. She hits my arm. "Okay, okay I won't laugh at you." "You were probably the same way when you first saw this place." "Yes I was." I motion for her to follow me. I start giving her a tour and that's when Mrs. Payne comes out of Mr. Payne's office. When she sees us she smiles and walks over. "Carly it's so nice to have you home." Right away Mrs. Payne embraces me with a hug. When she pulls away she looks over at Abby and gives her a small smile. "And you must be Abby." "It's nice to meet you Mrs. Payne." Abby gives her a big smile. "Oh please call me Trisha." Trisha hugs Abby. When they pull away they look at me and they're grinning happily. "So Carly are you ready for that surprise?" "I don't know. It depends on what it is." "Oh you will love it." Trisha gives me a huge smile and pulls on my arm. Abby is laughing and I glare at her. Trisha pulls me back out the door and there is a limo waiting for us. "Oh my god." Trisha and I both look back at Abby. She is staring at the limo. "This is Abby's first time in a limo." Trisha just smiles at my comment. We get in the limo and it takes off right away. I'm staring out the window and we were going through the city now. I keep trying to figure out where we're going. I turn to face Abby and she is just smiling so huge. When we first landed in London she wasn't all that happy, but now she can't stop smiling. I think she knows something I don't. I touch Abby's hand and she looks at me. "You seem happy." "I'm really excited where we're going." "Where are we going?" "I'm not telling." She sticks her tongue out and I laugh. I'm glad she's getting Lucas and the loss of her baby off her mind. We've been driving for thirty minutes and finally the limo stops. When the door opens Trisha gets out first. I get out after her and I am in awe when I notice where we are at. Abby gets out behind me and she touches my arm. I look at her and she is still smiling. Abby knew we were going to the home Liam and I are going to be living at after the honeymoon. It is a nice stone front two story house. It is a little smaller than the Payne house, but a lot bigger than the house I lived in at home. I just can't stop smiling. "So Carly do you like it" Trisha asks with a smile. "Yes." I am so happy that I start tearing up. Abby comes to my side and hugs me. "Carls it's a very beautiful house." Abby pulls away and gives me a huge smile. "Do you want to take a look inside?" Trisha holds the keys out to me. I take them without a word and walk towards the door. I take a deep breath before unlocking the door and stepping inside. It smells like a new house and it looks so nice. When I first walk through the door I come to a long hallway that leads to the kitchen and dining room. In the kitchen there are doors that lead outside to the backyard. It's a very big yard too. When I walk through the dining room I come to the living room. And through there is a set of stairs that lead to the second floor. Abby and I walk up them and we come to the master bedroom and then there's four other bedrooms if you walk down the hallway. There's also a full bathroom and a half bath downstairs in the hallway. Plus a finished basement where there could be a second living room. I'm falling in love with this house. When I was done looking at it we stepped outside and Trisha was on the phone. When she got off the phone she saw us and smiled. I hand her the keys, but she shakes her head. "No, it's all yours now." Trisha smiles and starts walking back to the limo. Abby and I follow her. When we get in the limo takes off. Trisha seems a little distant. "Is everything alright Trisha?" I question her. Trisha nods and I don't press on. We head back to the Payne house and it is complete silence. When we reach the house Trisha gets out without the driver to open the door and Abby and I just stay there with questionable looks on our faces. We finically get out and walk into the house. We are heading to the kitchen, but I stop at Mr. Payne's office knowing that Trisha is going to be in here; which she was. I motion for Abby to keep walking; which she does. I walk into the office and Trisha is sitting behind the desk and I can tell she is crying. "Trisha what's going on?" Trisha doesn't say anything she pretty much just throws a newspaper at me. I grab it and I gasp when I see the headline. 'Danielle is pregnant with Liam's child'. I want to throw up. "I'm so sorry Carly." Trisha can't even look at me. "Is it true?" My voice squeaks. I try to keep my mind from thinking that it is, but knowing the shit that's been happening lately; it could be. "I'm trying to get a hold of Liam, but he won't answer. I think he saw the news. I think it's not true, but hear it from him. Don't leave him again." Trisha starts crying again. I walk around the desk and hug her. "I won't leave him. I love him too much for something like this to stand in the way." Trisha smiles at me and I give her a small one. "And your other friend, Lucas is here." "Where at?" "The kitchen." I nod. Before Trisha can say more I walk out of the office. I'm not going to let this news ruin anything. Liam and I are getting married in three weeks and that's that. I walk into the kitchen and I see Abby in Lucas' arms. They weren't kissing, but hugging. That's the start of something. I smile and walk out of the kitchen to leave them alone. I'm glad Lucas came. Now I just need to deal with this news and I need to hear the truth from Liam himself.
