Chapter 45

~ Nina ~
With my back up against Niall's chest as we laid on the bed, I turned my head so my lips could meet his.
His fingertips lightly tapped my tummy, and I smiled when they did.
I pulled back from the kiss, now laying my head on his chest.
He left kisses on me anywhere he could.
"Do you think we're gonna be bad parents?" I asked quietly.
"No, baby. Of course not. Why would you think that?"
"It's just- with how popular we are and how in the public we are. I know our baby's not going to have a normal life, but I don't want it being too much for him or her." I explained, playing with his fingers.
"We'll make it work. It'll be okay. I promise." He said.
Yeah, he may be right about the public, but what if I, myself, can't do it?
"I don't think I'll be good, though. I don't know everything a mum needs to do. I never had one to grow up with." I said, fading out at the end.
Niall sighed and ran his unoccupied hand over my arm.
"I know, sweetie. You may not have had a motherly figure in your life, but you're still a wonderful woman. You are nice and caring which is what a mother should be. You're gonna be perfect. Our little creation is going to be safe with you."
I smiled slightly, thinking about his words.
Maybe it will turn out well.
I may not have had a woman to help me growing up, but I'll be there for my child.
I'll make sure to let them know they can talk to me, and come to me with anything.
I'll make sure of it.
"Do you think we'll have a boy or girl?" I asked.
"I think a baby boy."
"No way! Mama says a little girl."
He chuckled and shook his head.
"I can't even imagine having a little girl. She would be so beautiful, just like her mommy. And I could cuddle her. But of course I'll have to keep her away from the boys. They're not even going to be able to look at my daughter."
When he started to become defensive, I couldn't help but laugh myself.
"Niall, baby. We may not even have a little girl. Who knows?"
He shrugged his shoulders.
"Well even if we have a baby boy, I'm still going to protect him. But I'll make sure he gets with the girls."
"No! If we have a boy, he will not have a girlfriend! He couldn't grow up!"
"You know what, Nina? You're going to be a wonderful mum. I can already tell."
"Thank you, Niall. And you're going to be a perfect daddy."
I turned my head again so I could meet his lips, and moved mine softly against his.
A loud alarm caused me to jump and pull away from Niall.
"Oh, you have to leave for your interview." I realized, crawling off the bed.
"No, come back. You're so warm."
But he got out of bed himself, slipping a shirt on over his head.
I'll be watching the interview when it comes on, being that it'll be live on TV.
He always looks so cute in interviews.
I mean, he always looks cute but there's just something that makes him even more cute.
Maybe it's the fact that he's always a little shy in interviews but he doesn't like to show it.
I know that may not make sense, but it does to me.
"Mmm, okay, princess. I'll see you when I get back. Love you."
"Love you, too."
I kissed him one last time before he left the room.
And now that I'm left alone, my mind seems to go crazy with thoughts.
I can't believe Jess and Louis are getting married.
What will the wedding be like?
How beautiful will her dress be?
Will he tear up at the alter like Niall did?
Of course he will.
My brother is actually getting married.
It seems like just yesterday he took me under his wing and cared for me.
Now we're all grown up.
It doesn't even feel real, honestly.
I couldn't help but smile at the thought and make my way to the TV and turned it on.
After waiting about twenty minutes, the boys finally walked onto the screen and the interview began.
"Hello, boys. How is everything going?" The interviewer, Gina, asked.
There were various comments, all good things, coming from the boys.
"So you're on tour. A short one this time, right? How is it being back on the road?"
"It's great. We all love being on tour. I think it's the best part about this job, except for the fact that we have to leave our families." Liam answered.
Yeah, I agree.
"Yes, of course. Louis, congratulations! You're engaged to your beautiful Jessica!"
I could tell Gina's smile was sincere and I was thankful for that.
The boys don't always get true, down-to-earth interviewers.
It's mainly just people who are assigned the job and looking to get a paycheck.
"Thank you. From what I've observed, everyone seems to be pretty ecstatic about it. I know I am."
Louis was really smiling as well, and that made me smile myself.
I love that he's happy.
After Eleanor, I know he felt like he'd never find his girl.
I'm very glad he did, though.
For all he's done, he deserves a happy ending.
"I'm glad you two are happy together." Gina said. "Now, with that being said, Harry, Zayn and Liam; do you boys plan on settling down with your girls soon?"
"That's classified." Harry said, a sly smirk pulling at his lips.
"What he said." Zayn and Liam said simultaneously, causing some laughter to fill the room.
"Well, that leaves it to you, Niall. You and your beautiful wife are still going strong, and that is great."
"Yeah, we're great. She's amazing. I'm glad I've got her. She's the best thing that's ever happened to me." Niall said, a grin plastered on his face.
I couldn't help but blush and look down to my lap.
"So, the next step would be to have kids, correct? Have you got a baby Horan on the way, or not yet?"
I froze as soon as she finished her sentence.
He did, too.
I couldn't help but think 'don't tell them, Ni. Don't tell them'.
"N-No, not yet." He finally got out.
The boys looked a little surprised once he said that, but must've realized why he did.
I hate knowing he's lying, but he's only doing it for the safety of me and the baby.
We'll let the public know about my pregnancy a little later, or maybe let them find out themselves.
"Oh, alright." Gina said.
The interview continued on for a couple more minutes, but soon ended.
I was feeling somewhat tired now that it's over, and that's when I realized that it is like 11:30pm.
Sort of early, sort of late.
Depends on the type of person you are.
I switched into my pajamas and got into bed, holding my arm in front of my tummy, in a protective way, I guess.
"Goodnight, little creation. Daddy and I can't wait to see you." I whispered before drifting off to sleep.

~ Niall ~
"So how was the inter- oh, gosh, sorry."
My voice instantly quieted when I realized Nina was asleep.
She shifted a little but stayed asleep, but the covers came off her upper body.
I couldn't help but smile when I saw her arm securely around her tummy.
She never sleeps like that, so I know it's her way of protecting our baby.
After changing into a pair of sweats, I got into bed with Nina and pulled the covers over her.
However, I leaned down and kissed her tummy and whispered, "I love you."
When I came back up, I kissed Nina's forehead and placed my hand on hers, on her stomach.
"I love you both."

Hi! So I think I gotta fill you in on some things. To begin, school ends in, like, two weeks for me, so then I should be able to update more. But I have some bad news, too.
I won't have a lot of time to write until school ends.
Don't worry, I have chapters prewritten so I can still update those during these two weeks, but I'll have to spread them out, maybe like once a week. I have exams and review classes and field trips, and everything is crazy at the moment. I also just sprained my ankle really badly so I missed like two days of school, which delays me even more.
But I'll still be here. Just please understand for right now. I'll be back updating like crazy before you know it!
