Niall's POV

I walk into the house with my beautiful new born daughter, but not with Kris. Hetty runs out from the room to welcome us.

"Look at you now hey daddy material." She laughs "Wow Niall she is so beautiful and looks just like Kris and you... ooh!"

A tear rolls down my eyes and drop my head and start to sob. Hetty notices and asks me "Niall where is Kris?"

"She is not here." I whisper.

"Wait what do you mean?"

"I mean Kris died during childbirth." I place my head on her shoulder.

"Oh my God please don't lie to me Niall!" She pushes me back slowly and looks at me.

"I am not I was there when it happened." I sob harder.

"What are we going to do now!" Hetty places her hands on her head "What is Donnie going to come back to, Niall he said a letter stating that he is coming back in a few weeks time."

"We just have to wait until he Comes home to tell him... Hetty we can't tell him in a letter we have to wait." I say quietly.

"Did you choose a name yet?" She asks changing the subject.

I look down at my daughter "Yes I have actually. Her name is Kristen Oakley Horan." I smile.

"You chose Kris' name." She smiles. "And aren't we lucky the war is over now. We can all finally live in peace." We both sit down on the couch.

I sit there holding my daughter feeling her soft delicate skin. Hetty sits next to me cross legged "Looks like we're both single parents now."

I look at her "Hetty you do know whenever you need help I will be there hey."

"Same to you buddy." She pats me on the back.

"And another funeral to go to." I say.

"Why does God always choose the beautiful people? But anyway Kris gave me that answer long time ago."

"It's a cruel world out there." I say harshly.
***************************************
A few days have past and Hetty knew Donnie is coming back today. We hear the van outside and we both stand there with the babies in our arms wait for Donnie to enter.

He unlocks the door and he looks at us confused and shocked. He looks so beaten up and dirty.

"Hetty." He nods his head in Hetty's direction "And who are you." He looks to me.

Hetty steps in she walks towards him "Donnie I think you should sit down." He puts his hand on her shoulder and starts to cry.

"I am so sorry I could not save Benjamin." He sobs.

"It is not your fault Donnie now sit down because we need to tell to you something." She pulls him to the couch.

"Where is Kris?" He asks.

"Before we get to Kris. Lets starts off with Niall." She points to me "Please Donnie don't be angry with him or me but Niall and Kris were in a relationship after you went to war. And Kris ended up falling pregnant with his child and uhm... died from child birth a few days ago when we got your letter."

He had a look that said it all he is heartbroken. He then looks to me and says calmly "You had a relationship with my wife. Where's the baby then?"

"Here she is." I handed him Kristen.

"She looks just like.." and we all say together "Kris."

"Let me go pack and pack my stuff." I get up to go to the room.

"Wait!" Donnie stops me. I turn to him in surprise "I might need company for a few weeks I don't mind if you stay. And yes it is weird that you slept with my wife and all but I mean we can work it out I am sure."

"Alright then mate." We then shake hands and Hetty adds "And I am next door if you guys need anything."

We all exchange a few laughs and cries. In some ways we need to spend time with the people we love the most and life is too short for shit that we go through and we should not let that keep us back. In many ways we will remember things Kris did ,and in Hetty and Donnie's case, Benjamin too.
