Worth the Payne

Chapter 16 - The Missing Piece of the Puzzle

*El's POV*

I wake up in the morning to my phone going off. I pick it up and sleepily read the notification. It's a message from Louis, I half-heartedly read. She's coming home?

Who's she? I'm too tired to think. I put my phone down and lay my head back onto my pillow. I begin to shut my eyes before it clicks what he is talking about.

I bolt upright and grab my phone.

*Liam's POV*
It was the last show before we go home. I am so happy that it's almost over. I would frigging love to be back in my own bed right now. Louis and the boys have been really weird today. They keep secretly talking and stopping when I come near. I was sitting on the couch earlier and kept looking and seeing Harry smiling like a freak at me. It's beginning to creep me out. I decided to just leave it and focus on the show tonight and plane ride tomorrow.

*3 hours later*

The concert had just started and the boys were still being really hyped up so I guess that's why they were being so weird. We slowly worked our way through the song list.

*2 hours later*

We were just about to go back onto the stage for our encore. We were lining up ready to walk back but I couldn't see Louis. I looked around as the screen was coming up and saw him sprint from around the corner.

"Sorry lads, toilet break"

I laughed at the thought and we walked down the aisle. We got up to the part of the song of Louis' solo. He started singing it but choked and nudged for me to continue. I started singing from "They see things in a different light..." but I wasn't the only one singing. I heard this soft voice but I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. The voice kept singing the chorus so I continued. I looked at the rest of the boys who were looking at the ramp. I turned around and found the person who was singing. It was Kyla. You couldn't hide the smile and shock on my face. The chorus had ended so I ran up to Kyla. I picked her up and swung her around. The boys kept singing the song for me. I took a step back and looked at her. She was in flats and a lacy red dress. I looked at her bump. It had grown twice the size than I remember.

"You came back to me"

"I came back Liam, and I'm not going anywhere" She said to me.

I wrapped my arms back around her and snuggled my face into her neck. The boys came over and we all had a big group hug.

She stayed on stage for the rest of the concert. When we walked off, the boys left us to celebrate it being the last concert of the tour. I pulled Kyla to my room. I sat down on my bed and motioned for Kyla to join me. She pulled her shoes off, sat down and crossed her legs.

"Kyla, I've missed you so much"

"I know, it's been the hardest decision I've ever made."

"How did you get here?"

"This is where I've been. I've been hiding in Paris. This was the place I knew you wouldn't look. I ran to protect everything I love. Louis found me in the park yesterday. He caught up with me and explained everything. How Joel died, how it was safe for me to come home"

"So are you coming home?"

"I'm coming home babe. Can you ever forgive me Liam? I would never be able to live with myself if I broke you"

"I was never mad. I understood why you left. Yes I'm broken but now that you're back....I can finally put the pieces back together".

*Kyla's POV*

I was so happy to see Liam. I love this kid more than anything. We sat talking for a while before I laid down on the bed. I put my head on Liam's lap and he began stroking my hair. My hand absentmindedly lays down on my baby bump. Liam's hand also goes down to the belly.

"I've missed this one too"

I smiled at him.

"Do you know the gender yet?" Liam asked

"I have it written down in an envelope but I've never opened it. It just didn't feel right"

He nodded at me.

"I think it's a girl. A gorgeous mini you" He said kissing my head.

We fell asleep on the bed. I couldn't help but think this is how it should be. Me, him and baby all asleep on a bed, nothing could be more perfect.
