Chapter 23

--Chapter 23--

~Gem's POV~

I woke in the morning to Niall laying next to me. His arm was wrapped around my waist. I turned around and looked at him, he was still sleeping. I kissed his cheek then I got out of bed. I walked out of the room and into the kitchen, where Harry was making breakfast.

"Hey, you up already?", Harry asked.

"Yah, I'm up". "Hey where's Anna?", I asked.

"She's still sleeping", Harry said.

I replied,"Oh".

"What are you cooking?", I asked.

"Um...right now I'm baking muffins in the oven and flipping pancakes" Harry said.

"Yum. Hey are you planning to marry Anna?", I asked

"Yea, I was going to give her the engagement ring, but I panicked and decided that it was a little early. Now I've decided that I was going to ask her tonight over dinner. What do you think?" Harry asked.

"Um...well I can't tell you what to do with your life or how to do it, but I think your making that right chose. Either way you know that you are going to have to be with Anna for the rest of your life anyways. You are the dad of the baby", I said.

"Thanks Gem, you really did help. I'm so grateful to have you as a friend. And I'm sure Niall is grateful also to have you as his amazing girlfriend", Harry said.

"Thank you, Harry. Are you worried about the baby?", I asked.

"Well a little. You know I am a teenager and I have no clue what to do. I don't know how Anna and I are going to raise this child. Maybe we should give her or him to a family that can't have children and has the ability to raise a child", Harry said.

"Yea...I understand, but what does Anna want?", I asked.

"I don't know. Hey, what are you going to do?", Harry asked.

"Well, the second I knew I was pregnant I made a vow that I was going to raise this child. And that exactly want I'm going to do",

I said.

"That's inspiring Gem", Harry said.

"Really me...inspiring? I don't think

so.", I said.

"But you really are. Your a good person", Harry said.

"I'm not good! I've done so many things wrong! I'm not good! I'll never be good! I'm 18 and I'm pregnant! I wanted to do so much. I wanted to go to college, get a job, then start a family. I ruined it for myself! Now I'll be nothing!", I yelled.

"You will too be something and someone. You'll be a great mother and a wife. You are a good person. You just don't see it", Harry said. After e said that Anna walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning, Hun", Anna said.

"Good morning" Harry said.

"Who was yelling?", Anna asked.

"I was" I said.

"What about", Anna asked.

"Nothing important", I said as I left the kitchen. I walked down the hall to Niall and my room. I opened the door to find Niall still sleeping. I sat down on the bed and looked out the window. I was chewing my nails. This is one of my bad habits. I felt movement from the bed. Niall's warm palm rested on my shoulder.

"I love you", Niall said.

"I love you too", I said. Should I be surprised that this was the first time he ever said that to me. Well maybe I shouldn't. We haven't been dating for that long. Have we?

"Niall, are you comfortable with keeping the baby?", I asked.

"Yah. Why babe?", Niall asked.

"Well...as you know your not the father, but are you comfortable with raising a child?", I asked.

"I know I'm not the birth father, but I can be the dad. The dad is the one who cares, loves, and raises the child. Even though I didn't help make the baby doesn't mean I'm uncomfortable with it. I love you Gem, and I'd do anything for you", Niall said.

"I love you too", I said hugging Niall, knowing that everything was going to be alright.
