Make You Believe (Niall Horan Punk)

Chapter 33 - DNA

*Skye's P.O.V.*

We walked up to Maura's front door, hand in hand, before Niall opened the door.

"Niall? Is that you?" His mom called from the other room.

"Yeah mum, it's me" he answered. "Take your shoes off, Mum has a rule against wearing shoes indoors" he told me.

"Yeah, you told me that before" I said, placing my shoes next to his.

"Right, I forgot" he chuckled nervously as Maura entered the room.

"Nialler! I missed you" she said hugging him.

"I was here last week" he chuckled.

"I know, but I still missed ya. Now stop being rude and introduce me to your friend" she said, playfully smacking the back of his head.

"Mum, this is Skye, my girlfriend, Skye, this is me mum" he introduced.

"Girlfriend? You never told me she was your girlfriend"

"Yeah, I did"

"When?"

"A couple weeks ago. You must've forgotten since you've been so busy with the wedding"

"Yeah, I have been a little forgetful lately. I forgot how much a trouble a wedding can be. Are you coming to the wedding with Niall, Skye?"

"Yeah, I am"

"Fantastic" she said, smiling. "Why are we just standing here? Let's get some food, yeah?" She said, walking to the dining room, Niall and I following her.

"Hey guys" Niall greeted everyone. "This is Skye"

"Hi" I said shyly to the large group of people. They all greeted me in response before Niall and I sat down.

"That's me brother Greg and his girlfriend Denise, that's me father, that's me grandmother and that's me future stepfather Chris" Niall introduced me.

"You have a large family" I told him as Maura returned to the dining room, sitting by her fiancé.

"This is just me immediate family. You should see when me aunt's and uncle's visit" he chuckled.

"Wow, when our family gets together, it's just me, my mom, my uncle Jaxx and my cousin Alexander. The four of us are pretty close, especially since my aunt Sierra died in a car accident when Xander was 11"

"I'm sorry. How old were you?" Niall asked.

"9"

"The name Xander sounds so familiar" Greg said, trying to place him.

"He works with me at my uncle's pub" I told him. "He played soccer before he graduated, now he plays soccer at college"

"Xander O'Sullivan? Didn't he used to live up the street a bit?" Niall's dad asked.

"That's right! He'd come over and play football with us!" Greg added.

"That's right! I also played football with him in school his last two years. We won state every year he played" Niall told Greg.

"Yeah, he's always been obsessed with soccer" I told them.

"So are my boys" Maura told me, laughing.

We all got our food before returning to our seats.

"How long have you and Niall been dating, Skye?" Greg asked me.

"A couple of weeks"

"Well, I like you better than Alicia, even though that's not setting the bar high" Maura told me. "I'm not very fond of the Romano's"

"Mum!" Niall said, attempting to get his mom to change the subject.

"What? They think they're better than everyone! They think their son is better than both of mine combined!"

"Mum!"

"I'm just saying you shouldn't look down all people all the time, especially when your son's a rapist" she said, making me stiffen at the word 'rapist'.

"Mum!" Niall said, more stern than before.

"What?" Maura said, confused.

"Can we talk about something else?" He said through gritted teeth, trying to change the subject.

"Okay..." Maura said, not understanding what was up with Niall.

"Thank you" he replied.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few hours later, Niall and I said our goodbyes and left the house along with everyone else.

"That was fun" I said as Niall walked with me to his car. After we finished eating, everyone hung out. The guys played soccer while Niall's grandmother and Maura told Denise and I stories from when Greg and Niall were younger.

"Yeah, it was. My mum really likes you" he said while wrapping his arm around me.

"Really?"

"Yeah, sorry about the whole Romano thing"

"It's fine, she didn't know" He opened the car door for me before walking around and getting in. "You were a cute baby" I said as he started the car.

"Mum showed you my baby pictures?" He asked, looking at me wide eyed.

"Yeah, she and your grandmother were showing Denise and I pictures of you and Greg when you two were little. They also told us stories"

"Shit" Niall said, resting his head on the steering wheel. "Did they tell any embarrassing ones?" He asked, tilting his head to look at me.

"Loads" I laughed.

"Fuck" he said, blushing as he drove off.
