You Saved Me!

~*Chapter 17: Liam*~

Louis and Harry and had left a while ago and Greg and Denise left not long after. I was exhausted mentally and physically. Not to mention, I was pissed that we had to cut our damn honeymoon in half.

Grams and Gramps had been talking about my dad for the last hour. I looked over at Niall . He was struggling to keep his eyes open. I thought back to the day before yesterday when I'd watched him sleep on the beach. My heart hurt so much from just thinking about how much I loved this man.

He must have sensed me looking at him; he looked up at me and smiled. His smile stopped my whole world. I would do anything to see him smile like that. He winked at me and then turned back to Grams.

"Emma, please let me know what I can do to help out with the party. Or maybe you need help getting things ready for when Karen and Geoff get here? Whatever I can do to help keep Geoff comfortable, please just let me know. I'd love to help out in anyway. "

"Niall , darlin', you're a sweetheart. I'm so sorry you all had to cut your honeymoon in half. Your mother is sick over it, Liam . Liam ?"

I couldn't peel my eyes away from Niall . I swore that this man didn't have a mean bone in his body. The minute I told him about my dad having a heart attack, he had started packing up our things. He had never once said a negative thing about giving up our honeymoon. Now, he was offering to help out a man who didn't even bother to show up for our wedding.

"Liam , maybe we should head to the cabin. You must be exhausted," Niall said with a sparkle in his eye. I smiled back at him and his smile grew bigger.

"I'm sorry Grams. I couldn't pull my thoughts away from my beautiful groom sitting over there. What did you say?"

Grams let out a laugh, and Gramps stood up and hit my back.

He leaned down toward my ear.

"Go on home, son. We can talk tomorrow. I can see that you're itching to have your groom in your arms. "

I laughed as I stood up and shook Gramps' hand. I swore that the bastard grew wiser by the minute.

Niall stood up and hugged Grams. They talked about getting together tomorrow to cook up a storm. Then, I noticed Grams leaned in as she whispered something to Niall . Niall pulled back with a surprised look on his face as nodded his head. Grams pulled Niall in for a longer hug as she said something to him. I couldn't even listen to what Gramps was saying to me. The look on Niall face was so sad. What the hell is going on?

The drive to the cabin seemed like it took forever. I held Niall's hand the entire time as he looked out the window into the darkness.

"Sweetheart, what's wrong? I can tell you're bothered by something. "

Niall turned toward me and let a small smile play across his face.

"I guess I'm just nervous. I'm nervous about being home, helping you with the ranch, and meeting your dad. I'm also worried about, what's going on with Harry . I don't know. It's all just so crazy. "

I pulled his hand up to my mouth and pressed a soft kiss on it. "Don't be nervous about the ranch Niall . Gramps and Grams will help us. As far as my dad is concerned. " I let out a laugh as shook my head. "I'm not so sure that I can tell you not to be nervous about meeting him. He's a hard arse, and to be honest, he's made me nervous my whole damn life. Don't worry though, sweetheart, he's going to fall in love with you the moment he sees you, just like everyone else has. "

I parked the truck as we pulled up to the cabin. It seemed like just yesterday when we had been here and I asked him to marry me. I sat there for a second, trying to get my heart-beat under control.
