Finding me

Chapter 13

Nialls POV

After Evie told me that the baby was fine and it was a joke I lost it. The baby only had a 10 percent chance of living and she was joking about it. I had gotten in my car and driven to a bar. I know it was stupid but I wasn't happy.

"What can I get you?" The bartender asked. I didn't really want to drink. Surprisingly I wanted to talk.

"Nothing." I say angrily.

"Dude, are you ok?" He asked. He stopped wiping the counter.

"What do you think?" I asked.

"Well, if it makes you feel better my wife left me and our four kids. That's why I have this job." He said quietly.

"Oh I'm sorry man."

"No sweat. She was a hag any way."

"What's your name?"

"Jon. Yours?"

"Niall." We shook hands.

"What are you mad about anyways?"

"Well, my wife is pregnant and our baby has a 10 percent chance of living and she texted me and told me to come home quickly. She lied and said that only to get me home."

"Wow."

"Yeah."

"Well here's a beer. On me!" He said smiling. I nodded and gladly took a sip. I guess I kept drinking because I don't remember much after that.

Evies POV

"He isn't picking up." Abby said walking over.

"Oh god!" I say in pain and anger.

"What should I do?" She asked defeated.

"Call him. Text him. Something!"

"He won't pick up."

"The baby's is almost born and he isn't here." I was scared about him. What had happened.

"Evie!" Penny said walking in.

"Penny! Thank god your here!" I say hugging her. My mom and Clem we're behind her. "Mom! Clem!"

"Darling, what happened? Penny picked us up and said you were in labor." She put Clem on the bed.

"I fell. Niall ran off." I said.

"Who's the girl?" Penny asked.

"This is Abby. Nails daughter." I say. I felt weird having a stepdaughter I never knew about. Of course I was mad but he probably had some good reason for it.

"Hi." My mom says. Abby looked at me. She ran out.

Like father like daughter.

"Ma!" Clem says.

"Clem!" She sat next to me.
The door flew open and in walked the nurse.

"Alright hun. Time to deliver a baby. Lay back. I need all family accept for the parent to stay."

"Good luck!" Penny says taking Clem away.

...

"Ok, we observed the baby and he's just fine. He will have to stay a couple more days than you but he'll be fine." The nurse said.

"A boy? I thought it was a girl!" I said.

"Well it isn't. Congrats!" She said walking away.

Tears began to well up in my eyes. Niall has always wanted a son. He would be so happy. But he isn't here. Penny walked in.

"Hey. How's it going?"

"Good, where's Niall?"

"He's outside." She said sitting down.

Niall opened the door slowly and came in with flowers.

"Niall!" I say.

"Evie, I'm so sorry!" He said walking over to me.

"It ok! Well we have a son." I said casually.

"We do?" He asked surprised.

"Yes. What should we name him?"

"Brady." He said kissing my cheek. I was surprised.

Brady was Nialls younger brother. He had gone to serve in the army because his wife died in a car wreck. His ship exploded from a gas leak. Everyone died. It was a tragic day for all of us.

"Yes, Brady is perfect!" I say. The nurse came back in holding, Brady. She handed him to me and left. I smiled at Niall.
