Ch. 4
My Baby
*Claire's POV*
I saw Niall with Addie and she looked so happy and peaceful like an angel. Who was I
kidding? She was an angel being put through all of this mess and she's only 4. As I
walked over to Niall his eyes light up, that perfect shade of blue just like Addie's. my
thoughts were interrupted by an Irish accent.
"Hi, Claire!"
"Oh hey Niall" I said with a sad voice and with that he probably knows something is
wrong with Sean.
"What did the doctor say about Sean?" he asked concerned.
"Well....the doctor said the cancer is moving fast and it is pasted down generation to
generation"
"So that means Addie will have it too," by then Niall's voice cracked, he looked heart
broken.
"Ummm....Addie doesn't and will never have it," I tried to tell him without giving much of an explanation.
"How do you know Claire?!? Addie is Sean's daughter and if its pasted down
Addie will get it!" Niall explains in panic.
"Because Addie is not Sean's daughter.......she's yours"
*Niall's POV*
Claire just said Addie is my daughter. I wanted to jump around and scream but Addie
MY princess is sleeping on my shoulder.
I couldn't wrap the idea that Claire would hide something this big from me.
"Claire! Why did you not tell me Addie was MY little girl?!?!" I tried to say that as nicely
as I could. I was pissed that my best friend and the mother of my child would hide this from me.
"Niall...do you remember that night like a week before you left for your world tour we
kind of 'did it'?"
"Yes" In my mind I was thinking that was one of the best nights of my life.
"Well this is the result of that," she said pointing to the little girl on my lap.
"So you are telling me when you and Sean got married you had OUR child in your
stomach and didn't even tell me that one week I came to the wedding?" Niall whispers in disbelieve.
"Niall I'm sorry I didn't know what to do you broke up with me and I was expecting
Addie and I need comfort, Sean helped me through it and then we got married"
I'm enrage right now that it's hard to keep it in. I missed the birth of my child, her first
steps, her first words her first everything! I missed her growing up for almost five
fucking years! All her baby picture are with Sean and not me! I went to see how they
were doing when Addie was about 6 or 7 weeks old. That was the first time I got to hold
my child. My little princess.
"I know Sean wanted me to tell you before he died and wanted you to be her father
figure in her life." Claire explains with tears in her eyes.
"Claire, are you telling that Addie is really my child.." still in disbelief I asked.
"Yes...Niall she is, she has your eyes. Sean and I both have brown. I don't know how
people couldn't tell that. She is yours.... 100% yours...are you mad at us?" she asked.
"Umm..kind of I mean I would have been there for you if you would have told me this."
"I'm sorry please don't be mad at Sean he did nothing wrong it was my fault I should
have told you, just please don't be mad at Sean he's dying in that room so pl-"
"Claire it's okay I will be there for you Sean and Addie." I put my finger under her chin
I could see her eyes were red and puffy.
"Claire everything is going to be okay you have me and the lads here for you," I tried to reason with her.
"I know that Niall" as she said that she pulled me into a hug, I haven't had a hug
from her in a very long time it felt so right.
"I love you princess"
"I love you...now let's get princess Addie to bed"
