Don't Leave Us (Sequel to Something Blue)

8. Los Angeles

*3 weeks later*

I sink down into the airplane seat and sighed, feeling a uncomfortable bump under my rump. Niall smiled at me and rubbed my hand soothingly, making me almost forget my pain. Harry shot me a smile, and Perrie shifted too. She must've had a bad seat as well.

"Are you uncomfy?" Darcy asked me, her eyes wide. I nodded a little, but she just smirked. Raising the middle finger, she said "Sucks for you, suck it up."

I rolled my eyes and shifted again. The five hour flight on this seat will be torture. Niall elbowed my arm. "Yeah?" I asked him.

He smiled and gestured to the seat. "Let's trade princess. This seat is better."

I smiled and shook my head. "I'll be fine hun." I said, squeezing his hand.

Niall shook his head. "It's a five hour flight, and you're pregnant. You should have the upmost comfort." He smiled. I rolled my eyes, but stood up. We exchanged seats as fast as possible, with a lot of squirming and bumping. Finally, I sank down into the new seat, and sighed happily. This one was much better then the other one, but I felt bad that Niall had to sit in it for five hours.

As if he read my thoughts, he instantly took off the sweater he had thrown on and folded it. He stood up and placed it on the seat before sinking down into it once more. He sighed happily. "Much better." he grinned. I smiled and turned to Liam, who was in the seat next to me. I smiled at him, and he grinned back. "Excited?" he asked, grabbing a magazine and flipping through it nonchalantly. I nodded, and butterflies erupted in my stomach. Or maybe my little girl kicked me. Anyway, it just made me more nervous.

"Yeah. I'm kind of nervos though. I've only gone to Ireland and Rome, not America."

Liam laughed. "Don't worry, America is awesome. The people there are really nice."

I took in a deep breath and smiled. "Thanks. That actually helped."

Liam shrugged. "Don't mention it."

I smiled gratefully at him, and he grinned back before asking "Did Cadet get on alright?"

I nodded. "I hope so. Niall is in love with the little guy, and we had to take him."

Liam nodded. "I decided to take Loki for the week too. Get him out and about, you know?" 

I nodded, smiling. Liam loved that dog like it was his own life.

Darcyturned again to face me. "Ok Mattie, it's time for liftoff. Now, I'll run through some safty precautions before we fly-"

"Darcy."

"-we crash, you tuck and roll. And if a leg ets blown off ot something, don't come running... er, rather, hopping to me for help. If a snake manages to get into the plane, you cowerunder your seat and wait for the-"

"Darcy, shut up."

"And after it bites you, it's only a matter of time until..."

This is going to be a long flight.

I dragged in my suitcase and flopped onto the fluffy hotel bed and groaned. I had to suffer through a five hour flight, with Darcy giving me the run down on floods in midair, tornados, metors and every extreme danger possible. I would jump at every batch of turbulance we hit, scared for my lfe. I thought Niall would be up to comfort me, but no, he decided to fall asleeep fifteen minutes into the flight, using my shoulder as a pillow... and a drool catcher. The only upside of the whole trip was that Niall talked about his day in his sleep again, and he talked of me.

Niall dragged in his suitcase as well and flopped on the couch beside me. "Finally." He sighed, wrapping his arms around me. I scooted away from his touch, still annoyed thst he left me alone against Darcy's scary dangers for five hours.

Niall arched an eyebrow. "What's wrong?" he asked.

I rolled my eyes. " I'm so petrified of planes now, you have no clue what Darcy told me."

Niall laughed quietly. "I'm sorry. I'd shut her up if I was awake."

I rolled my eyes. "I wish you were." I huffed.

Niall wrapped me up in his arms. "Mattie, if I was asleep, I would've talked about my day, right?" Niall knew about his habit then. I nodded slowly. "Then I must've mentioned a stunning, funny, smart, gorgeous princess. Am I right?"

I smiled slightly. "Yes, that was mentioned..." I grinned wider. Niall leaned in and gave me a peck on the cheek. "So I guess I'm forgiven?" He chuckled.

I turned and gave him a small kiss. "You're forgiven."I smiled, wrapping my arms around him too.

He gave me a kiss on top of my hair. "Thank you princess." he whispered.
