You Saved Me!

~*Chapter 18: Niall*~

It took everything out of me not to jump up and down when Liam said he wanted to have kids right away. I felt the same way, but I didn't know how to talk to him about it. I just thought he'd say we were too young, but I knew I wanted kids right away. I tried not to cry, but I was so happy I couldn't help it.

Liam sat up and pulled me onto his lap. I placed my head on his chest, and I just lost it. I wasn't really sure why I was crying. Is it the idea of Liam wanting to have kids right away? Or maybe it's the fact that I'm was scared shitless because I'm worried that I'll be a shitty dad?

Then, I thought about Harry. He had begged me not to tell Liam about him being pregnant. I knew he thought that Louis had a lot on his mind with Briana's stupid stunt, but I also didn't think she should hide it from him.

"Baby, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you, Niall . We don't have to start having kids right away if you're not ready. I just thought. "

I leaned up to kiss Liam. He pulled away. He seemed so confused.

"Niall, baby, please tell me why you're crying," Liam said as he wiped away the tears from my face.

"I want nothing more than to start having kids with you, Liam. I would like to start right away, too. I was so afraid to talk to you about it and kept putting it off. I was worried that you would think we were too young or maybe I wouldn't be. "

"Stop right there, Niall . Don't ever think that way again, baby, ever. You're going to be an amazing dad. " Liam placed his hand on my stomach and smiled at me.

That damn crooked-arse smile of his gets me every time. I couldn't help but smile back at him as I placed my hand on top of his.

"So, should we? Should I stop taking the pill? Can we do this, Liam?"

The next thing I knew, I was lying back down as Liam kissed me so passionately that I could hardly breathe. I could practically feel his love and happiness pouring into me with every kiss. Just his touch was enough to drive me crazy. I loved him more than life itself. The thought of us trying to start a family just about had me wanting to jump up and run around the room.

Then, I thought about Harry again and I tensed up.

Liam pulled away from me and frowned. "Niall .... what's wrong?"

"Liam, I have to tell you something, but you have to promise me that you won't say anything to Louis or my brother. Will you promise me?"

Liam rolled off of me, and we turned to face each other again. As he pushed a piece of my hair behind my ear, I had to smile.

"Of course, Niall . You know I would never betray your trust. Is everything okay?"

I shook my head. My heart started to ache as I thought back to Harry in the bathroom, throwing up as tears just poured down his face. I don't know who was more shocked, Olivia, Denise or me. I'd never seen Harry so broken. He should have been happy. He should have been excited to run back to tell Louis. Instead, he'd sat on a cold bathroom floor, scared shitless as he cried his eyes out.

"No. Tonight, when we went into town to pick up mason jars for Emma well, that's not why we went into town. "

Liam let out a laugh. "I knew that wasn't the reason, Niall . "

"You did? How? Why didn't you say anything to me if you knew that wasn't the reason we were going into town?"

"Well, I figured if Grams was backing you all up, then it must have been something important between you all. I wasn't about to pry. I figured if you wanted me to know, you'd tell me. "
