Erin wakes up and immediately feels sick and runs to the bathroom. When the bathroom door slams shut it wakes Niall. He sits up in bed and grabs his phone which shows a message from his mother. "Good morning, Niall. How are you? Are we still up for tonight's dinner plans? Erin's parents are coming, too, aren't they?" He wants to reply just as Erin's walks back into their room and sits down next to him.
"You look pale, are you alright?", he asks her putting his arm around her. "No, I have such a bad tummy ache. But don't worry, it's probably because my period is due any day now.", she replys snuggling into Niall. "Are you sure? Do you want me to cancel dinner with our parents tonight then?" "No, really, I'm...", she starts but before she can finish she rushes to the bathroom.
"Erin, you don't seem fine. Please let me drive you to the doctors. It would make me happier to know that you really are fine." After trying to persuade Niall she's alright and he doesn't believe her she finally gives in. "Alright!" Niall and Erin get dressed and drive to the doctors.
During the drive Erin rolls down the window on her side of the car. "You alright? We're nearly there. Tell me if you need me to pull over!", he reassures her. "It's ok! I just need some fresh air!" She places her hands infront of her aching stomach. When they arrive Niall parks right infront of the doctors where there actually isn't a parking space and rushes inside with her.
The doctor comes towards them and she tells them "Sir, you have to stay out here please. I'll take a look at her. If you'd follow me please, mam." Niall gives Erin a quick kiss and runs put to the car and finds a proper parking space.
"So, what's brought you here this morning?", the doctor asks. "My stomach hurts. But I'm due my period anytime now so it's probably just that.", Erin explains. "Do you always get pain like this?" "No, actually I don't, that's the weird thing.", she explains to her. Before the doctor can answer she runs out into the bathroom in the hall. The doctor rushes after her to see she's alright. "Ok, let us do an ultrasound to check if everything is alright. Just in case.", the doctor says when they get back into the checkup-room Erin nods and lays down whole the doctor pulls over the ultrasound machine.
"Don't be afraid, the gel might be a bit cold.", she warns her and spreads the gel onto Erin's stomach. A few seconds later the doctor looks at the monitor with a consurned look. "Is everything alright?", Erin asks getting kind of panicky. "I just need a second opinion first.", the doctor says and leaves the room. She comes back in with another doctor who looks at the monitor carefully. "Yes! You're right!", he tells her and leaves the room.
"Congratulations!", the doctor starts and Erin looks at her confused. "You're pregnant!", she continues which makes Erin look at her with disbelief in her expression. "How... how is that possible? I was told I can't have kids!" "Well, it did happen! You're twelve weeks pregnant!" "What? How did I not notice?" "Is your period regular?" "No, not at all!" "There's your answer! Is someone waiting outside?" "Yes, my husband." "Do you want me to call him in? What's his name?" "Yes please! Niall. Niall Horan." "Alright. Congratulations again!" "Thank you!", Erin replys when the doctor leaves the room.
Niall comes in with a worried look on his face. "Are you alright? The doctor said you have something urgent to tell me?" Erin pats next to her on the bed and Niall sits down next to her. "I'm pregnant!", Erin explains with a huge smile on her face. "Really? Oh my god! I thought...", Niall says smiling. "I know... I thought so, too. I guess we're just extremely lucky!" Niall jumps up and pulls Erin up with him and into a hug. "You're going to be a dad!", Erin says. "You're going to be a mum!", Niall replys and kisses her.
"Do you still want to go to dinner tonight?", Niall asks on the way out of the doctors and back to the car. "Yes! Of course!", Erin answers. When they get in the car Niall hands her his phone and says "Can you just quickly answer my mum? This morning she asked if the dinner was still on but I never got to answer her and then you weren't feeling well so I thought I'd wait!" "Sure!", Erin answers and then types "Hey mum, sorry I'm only getting back to you now. Dinner is still on as planned and yes, Erin's parents are coming, too. See you later!" She reads it out to Niall before sending it off.
At home they get ready and when Erin is only in her bra now that they know Erin is pregnant they do notice a tiny bump. Niall stands behind her and puts his hands on her stomach. "I love you so much!", he says turning her around and giving her a kiss. "I love you, too!", she replys and then Niall's phone beeps. "It's my mum, she's nearly at the restaurant!", Niall says looking at his phone.
The two of them quickly finish getting dressed and then walk to the restaurant around the corner. By the time they arrive Maura is sitting at the table already and just as they join her Erin's parents enter. When they are all seated they order a wine and Erin orders a sprite. The parents look at her and she starts smiling.
She looks at Niall who puts his hand on hers and nods. "We got some news today...", he starts. "I'm pregnant!", she continues and starts smiling even more and tearing up. "I thought...", all three of them start and laugh because they notice they said it at the same time. "We thought so, too. We were told I couldn't get pregnant. But I guess we were extremely lucky!" The parents stand up and give the both of them individual hugs.
"Congratulations!", Maura says and Erin's parents say it after her. "We're gonna be grandparents!", Erin's mum says tearing up. "You're gonna be parents!", her dad adds. "When did you find out?", Maura asks. "This morning, about half an hour after you asked of the dinner was still on.", Niall laughs. "As if you knew!", Erin adds. "Of course I knew! It's my superpower!", Maura says and they all start laughing.
"You know that we'll always be here to help you guys or babysit when you need some time for the two of you!", Maura says and Erin's parents nid in agreement. "We'll be the best grandparents-team you've ever seen!", Erin's dad states. "And you'll be great parents! Probably even better than we were!", her mum adds. The rest of the night they talk about pregnancy and a babyshower Maura and Erin's mum want to throw them. They can't stop smiling and laughing about childhood-stories their mum's tell about them.
