Niall’s POV
I’d been released from the hospital and placed into a rehabilitation center... after my arraignment.. where I plead guilty to drug use and agreed to probation and rehabilitation for 90 days.... I’ve been here at Pathways for almost a week now.... Nessie did NOT go to my arraignment... she was avoiding my calls, refusing to visit... I just.. i had to know she didn’t kiss our baby... i was a complete rubbish mesh... and people kept asking me if i was okay... and I just wanted them all to sod off......
“Niall.. it’s time for your therapy session...” Jack, our orderly, said, coming to the doorway of my room. I twirled Nessie's ring in between my forefingers and thumbs.
"Not in the mood." I mumbled.
"Niall... you have to do this.... it's part of your court order...." he said.
I grunted and slipped her ring back into my pocket. I always had it with me, I didn't go anywhere without it. "Let's just get this over with." I growled.
"good..." he said, and led me to Dr. Ken's office.. but it was NOT Dr Ken.....
(see photo on side)
"Oh you must be Niall... have a seat darling......." she smiled. Who the hell is she?? I didn't know therapists could be....well smokin' hot for lack of a better word.
"You looked confused... Dr. Ken is on vacation.. I'm Dr Korington.... you can call me Ally," she
"I'd prefer Dr Korington." I said, slumping into the brown leather chair opposite her.
"Or Dr. K is alright... so.. Niall.. how are the cravings?" she asked.
"Getting better." I said bluntly.
"Alright... and you.... as far as your family.. i see in your chart that you've made a lot of calls... but not lasting very long... " she said.
"Yeah well....trying to get my wife to speak to me isn't an easy task." I said.
"We received a request from your mum for a visit.. i told her I’d ask her first... are you willing to see her?" she asked, jotting on my chart.
"I guess." I mumbled.
"Okay I’ll schedule her for tomorrow morning," she said.
"Fantastic." I said half-heartedly. I really wasn't in the mood to see my family, I was too ashamed. But the only person who I was actually willing to see refused to have any kind of contact with me.
"The only way you are gonna have any peace with your wife.... is to finish this rehab.." she said.
"Who said I'm thinking about her?" I growled. I hated talking about Nessie with my therapist, it only made my heart ache for her more.
"Because of that ring shape in your pocket...... Niall.. you'll never heal if you refuse to talk about it...." she said.
"I'm don't want to talk about Vanessa!" I snapped. "Not to you, not to anyone!"
"Alright.... just know it's a 90 day probation... if I or Dr. Ken say you need more work we can choose for you to stay.... keep that in mind... you're excused..." she said, waving me off. I stormed out of that room muttering profanities under my breath. Stupid whore threatening to make me stay longer.
"Hey Niall..... how are you.. are you okay? was she being mean?" one of the other patients asked.. blonde.. bubbly.. VERY annoying... and apparently in for a sex addiction.
"Go away Jake." I grumbled.
"Awww come on buddy... talk to me.." he cooed. Ughhh gay men... usually okay.. but obsessive gay one direction fans..... i get stuck in rehab with... ughhhhhh
"I mean it Jake piss off."
"Fine fine.... geez...." he grumbled, and left.
Vanessa's POV
"Nessie.. relax.. it's just a basic check up...." Jeny said, holding my hand, as we sat in the doctor's office.
"This doesn't feel right Jeny." I said.
"What doesn't feel right? doing it without Niall?" she whispered.
"Exactly." I whispered back. "I mean, I'm still absolutely furious with him and I'm still refusing to have contact with him....but he still deserves to be here. This is his child for crying out loud."
"I know... it's why.. i brought this..." she smiled, holding up her video camera, 'So he can still see it..."
"Sometimes you're too smart for your own good." I teased.
"Me.. smart... no no....i did most of this for Harry... remember?" she smiled. I was so happy they'd worked things out.... he'd become an amazing father and a wonderful husband.. FINALLY!
"How do you think he's coping with Ari?" I asked as I saw my doctor come into the waiting area.
"Vanessa.. this way.." she smiled, and led me back to a room.
"He's amazing.. watching her right now.. they were playing peek a boo when i left......" Jeny said, in a quiet giggle.
"Who was having more fun? Harry or the baby?" I sniggered.
"I think he was.... but her laugh is so darn cute..." she giggled, as we got settled, me on the table and Jeny in a chair beside me.
"So.. Vanessa.... how are you feeling?" My doctor asked.
"To put things simply, fat and nauseous." I said as she lifted my shirt up to examine my belly.

"Well, look at you... my gosh.. when was your last period?" she asked.
“I dunno about 3 months ago....." I said.
“Well, my goodness.. let's take a look shall we..." she smiled. She took at bottle of ultrasound gel and squirted it onto my skin. Shit they weren't kidding, that stuff is so cold!
"Okay, let's see what we got here." said my doctor. She listened for a minute, then turned on another machine and pointed.
'There is baby..." she said, then moved it a bit, 'And there's another...."
"Wait what?" I said quickly.
"There's two of them." she smiled.
"Two what?" Jen said.
"Two babies." giggled the doctor.
"What?! two?! babies?! I have twins?!" I asked, in shock.
"Oh god.. hold this.." Jeny choked out, handing the doctor the video camera, before getting me a brown bag to help me breathe.
"Stop it, I don't need that." I said, swatting it away. "You might not but I sure as hell do." Jeny said, causing the doctor to giggle.
"OH my god.. are you sure?!" Jeny asked. Doctor pointed again and nodded. "Absolutely......" she smiled, taking a few photos for me.
"Jeny you're freaking out about this more than me and you're not even the mother." I chuckled.
"I'm sorry.. i just.. this is amazing.. so exciting.. TWINS!" she grinned.
"So your husband... will h be here for your next appointment in two weeks?" she asked. And just like that my happy mood disappeared. Thanks Doc, thanks a lot. I had gone a whole five minutes without thinking of Niall.
"No.." I choked out.
"Oh gosh im sorry Vanessa....." she said, softly, "Just.. make an appointment with Sally at the front desk.. two weeks..."
"Thank you." I said quietly. She handed me the photos and I dashed out of there.
I made my appointment and Jeny rushed me home. I was a mess..... i was so afraid.
