Liam crawled into the bed next to Niall their lips still locked as they ran their hands over each others bodies.

“Wait, wait…” Niall whispered between the kissed pushing Liam away from him.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling okay? Should I call for a nurse?” Liam asked panicky. Niall smiled kissing him again, “No, I’m fine. But tell me is she okay?”

Liam shook his head slowly, “They did all they could but no, she didn’t make it.”

Niall shook his head as his eyes began to leak, “If that is a joke Payne, it’s not funny.”

“I’m sorry Ni, I wish I was joking.” Liam said. Niall shook his head as the tears began to fall down his cheeks, Liam hugged him as Niall buried his head into his chest.

“No, she can’t, it should be me…” Niall cried as through his hiccups as his tears soaked Liam’s shirt.

“Shhh, Nially don’t talk like that.” Liam cooed into his ear.

“But it’s true, she just got married, and they were starting a family, oh shit are the babies alright?”

“They’re alright, a little boy and girl. Zayn is holding it together for them right now, but he is hurting, anyone can see that. I’m just glad that you are safe now.” Liam explained.  

Niall looked up at him seeing the truth behind his words. He leaned in to kiss him once more.

The door opened forcing Liam and Niall to separate as Zayn, Harry and Louis walked back inside. The three of them stopped suddenly at the scene before them.

“NIALL!” Harry shouted racing over to him, Louis and Zayn followed. Niall hugged each of them, holding on tightly to Zayn.

“I’m so sorry! So sorry, I should have saved her, I tried to save her.” Niall cried into his shoulder Zayn held on to him his own tears streaking down his face.

They held on to each other for a long while just simply holding the other between the tears. Liam watched with watery eyes at their connection, the two of them never needed words to speak to the other.

“Hey hey… this is not your fault. It was an accident, don’t punish yourself mate.” Zayn cried back.

“How are the twins? Are they okay? Can I see them?” Niall asked. Zayn nodded smiling through the tears turning to Louis and Harry who were holding the twins.

“Uncle Larry has them.” Zayn laughed as Harry and Louis brought them over. Niall took Edward in his arms as Louis handed little Perrie to Zayn. “Ni, this is Edward, and this little girl is Perrie.” Zayn said introducing them to Niall.

“Perrie and Edward… well done mate.” Niall whispered through teary eyes as he smiled looking up to Zayn in a mixture of admiration and empathy.

“Hi.” Niall smiled at both of them. “I’m your cool Uncle Niall!” The lads smiled and laughed for the next few hours rejoicing in the reunion of Niall to the group.
