Makenna's P.O.V

I was handed Hollie and I rushed out to the waiting room

"Niall" I said softly. His eyes widened at the sight of the white blanket in my arms "Would you like to meet your daughter" I smiled. He rushed over and looked at her

"She's beautiful" he sighed, his eyes filled with tears. I handed Hollie to him and he took her and cradled her. Singing quietly to her and pacing the waiting room. I walked over to Harry and he threw his arms around me.

"You were brilliant" he smiled

"Thanks" I said quietly.

We waited for hours for news of Niamh. No news came.

"Mr Horan?" A nurse came out and asked

"Yes" he answered desperate for news

"You can see her now" the woman smiled gently. Niall ran past her with Hollie and I followed. We sat and stared, waiting for Niamh to wake up. The doctor said she would recover perfectly.

"This is your mummy Hollie" he said pointing to her

"Niall?" Niamh asked weakly

"Niamh!" he sighed relieved

"Where's Hollie" she asked slowly

"She's right here Niamh. She's perfect"

"Good" she smiled. Harry and I smiled at their sweet newfound family.

"Let's leave them" I whispered to Harry. We left as the others went in.

"Makenna I have a surprise for you" he smiled

"What is it?" I eyed him

"We're going to Florida for 3 days" he smiled

"Sounds like fun" I smiled

After 3 days Niamh and Hollie were discharged from hospital and came back home.

A "WELCOME TO THE FAMILY HOLLIE HORAN" banner was hung across the kitchen. I went to my room and packed my suitcase with Harry.

"I feel bad for leaving Niamh" I told him as I threw clothes into my suitcase

"She'll be fine" he said

I ran up the hall and said my goodbyes

"I'm sorry Niamh" I whispered to her

"It's fine Kenna I'm a big girl now. I'm a mammy" she smiled

"Feels good doesn't it" I smiled

While saying goodbye to Niall I heard Niamh whisper to Harry

"She'll say yes Harry. She loves you more than anything"

"Call me if anything exciting happens" Niall winked to Harry

"Same with you Kenna" Niamh told me

"What are you guys hiding from me" I asked suspiciously

"Nothing Makenna" they all chorused. Something was going to happen on this holiday, something that would change my life.

Niamh's P.O.V

"Niamh, Hollie's crying, what do I do?" Niall asked, nervously. "Sing." I told him, "Sing for her."

"No." He said, blushing.

"Please!" I begged.

"I thought you'd be calling Makenna by now." He said, trying to change the subject. "You want daddy to sing, don't you Hollie?" I said, making faces at Hollie, as I cradled her.

The doorbell rang, and I tried to get up. "Rest, Pet." Niall laughed, and I sat back down. I craned my neck to see who it was.

"Hello, Niall." I heard my mother chirp, "Mrs Fitzgerald. Mr Fitzgerald. Assumpta." Niall smiled politely. "Let me see her!" Assumpta said, rushing in. I held Hollie close, then handed her to Assumpta.

"Niall's eyes." I whispered, as I felt him slip his arm around my waist.

"She's just as beautiful as her Mam', Mrs Fitz." Niall said, gently.

"If she was anything like that one, I'd be worried. Talk about late nights. And sure, as soon as she got the length of primary three, she was climbing out the damned window to go for walks wit' ye'." Mammy laughed.

"I'll make you some tea." I said, but Niall stopped me.

"Niamh, I've got it." He smiled.

"Do you even know HOW to make tea?" I hissed in his ear, as he headed to the kitchen.

"Where's Makenna?" Daddy asked.

"Florida, with Harry."

"A'int they married yet?" Mammy asked.

"Harry's working on it." Niall shouted.

"Emma was askin' after ye'." Mammy matter-of-factly pointed out.

"How kind of her." I replied coldy.

"She's still really weak, you have a very brave daughter there, Mr Fitzgerald." Niall came to my rescue, setting the tray on the table.

Hollie was handed to Mammy.

"She's gorgeous, is our Hollie, isn't she." She whispered, cooing at Hollie. I beamed with pride.

We chatted for a while, then they retired to their hotel.

"Glad you have her back then?" Niall chuckled, as I cradled Hollie, "You were getting jealous that everyone else was getting a go at holding her."

"No." I said, my voice all high and squeaky. Okay, I'm not the best of liars. But at least I had her back. Niall sat next to me, and I put my head on his shoulder.

"What do you think Makenna and Harry are doing now?"

"Getting over jet lag." I said, dozing off on his arm.

While I was half asleep, he lifted Hollie into her moses basket, and lifted me. He tucked me into bed. "Goodnight, Niamh." He whispered, lightly, kissing my head.

"Goodnight, Sweetheart." I replied, falling into a deep, gentle, sleep.

I woke up to hear Niall's voice, singing.

"I will take care of you

The very best that I can

With all of the love here in my heart

And all of the strength in my hands

Your every joy I'll share

Your every tear I'll be there my whole life through

I will take care of you."

I could vaguley see his figure at the end of the bed, cradling Hollie. I creeped beside him and kissed his cheek, as Hollie fell asleep. We sat in silence, admiring the beauty and grace of a child, that brought us closer than ever.
