I'm Arranged To Marry Him?!

Chapter 7

*****Niall's POV*****

***1 month later***

I wake up and cuddle into Brooke's stomach, but I shoot up as my head rests on the mattress. I look around and see a note in Brooke's spot. 'Morning Babe. Taken Cody to start water babies class. Simon also called before we left and said you had to go to London for a meeting with the lads tonight. Ticket is on the coffee table and duffle bag is packed see you on Monday. P.S, your clothes for today are in the bathroom for after your shower.' I read. I sigh and climb out of bed. I quickly head to the bathroom and turn the shower on.

I walk into the main area of the airport to see Louis standing there on the phone. He looks up and smiles at me, running over. "Stop worrying Brookie. He's right here with me now." He laughs. After a few more minutes he hangs up. "Liam and Harry are at the hotel room now. Let's get going."  He says, taking my bag.

I step into the room and instantly get tackled to the ground by Harry. "How's Cody doing?" Liam asks, helping me back up. "He's doing well. He got a little bug a few weeks ago. But he's fine now." I say. They nod and the door swings open. "SIMON!" We cheer and hug him. "Hello lads. Are you ready to get back to work?" He says. We nod and a man walks past him. "Sorry I'm late. I was watching the news about the storm in Ireland that just started. Nobody can get in or out until it's over. It just so happens my uncle's family is there right now." He says, putting his briefcase down. My gut drops and I rush over to the TV. I switch it on and flick to the news channel. A picture of a car that's been crashed almost entirely by a tree appears and I let out a sob as I see the number plate. "People all over Ireland are in a frenzy to get home before the worst of the storm. But since the winds have been picking up, some people in Mullingar weren't so lucky. A woman in her twenties was supposedly on her way home from stocking up a few things for the family, when a tree crushed her car, knocking her unconscious. There was a baby carrier found in the back with no baby which gives us hope the baby was home. No further details about her are available until the storm is over and her family arrives. This is Katie Woods reporting live from the news rooms of Mullingar, Ireland." The woman says. "Niall? What's wrong?!" Liam asks. "Brooke's car was the one on screen." I cry. Louis pulls me in for a hug and pats my back. "At least Cody was at home." Harry laughs.

I sit in front of the TV as the Katie woman appears again. "The family for the woman who's car was crushed by a tree, have finally shown up with a very familiar baby that a whole Fandom will recognise instantly. That's right Directioners, Niall Horan's son has been spotted heading into the hospital. A doctor has told us the condition of the woman, who is to believed to be Brooklyn Horan, is 2 months pregnant and is very beaten up. It is unknown if the woman and baby will survive this. But now, Directioners await for Niall Horan to appear to be with his family. This is Katie Woods reporting live from the news rooms in Mullingar, Ireland." She explains. My stomach drops and I smash my cup to the floor. The lads run in and stare at me in shock. "I have to get back home. Cody needs me now and Brooke needs support for the new baby." I snap and storm past them to grab my bag. Louis grabs my shoulder and looks me in the eyes. "I'm coming too. She's my blood related family and I can't lose her." He states. I nod and he grabs my bag. I grab the teddy bear off the vanity and we head out.

I storm into the waiting room and see Mom sitting there with a crying Cody. I run forward and take my son from her for a cuddle. "Follow me. I'm taking you up to see her now." Mom states.

I step into Brooke's hospital room and see her pale form laying there. Tears fall quickly from my eyes and I shake my head. "If only I stayed home instead of going to the meeting. I always do the shopping for her and she stays with Cody. I only knew about the storm because of Hank and then I turned the TV on to see Brooke's car crushed. I started panicking about Cody until they said the carrier was empty. Now she's in hospital and there's nothing I can do." I cry out. "Sweetie. Brooklyn would want you to make sure Cody is looked after while she can't. You're the only thing he has for a parent right now and he'll need you like you need him." Brooke's Mom states. I nod and carry Cody out to my car. "Let's get the shopping done, buddy." I laugh and drive off.

I swipe my credit card and type in my pin. "Have a nice day." I smile and push the trolley out of supermarket. I hear a squeal and turn to see a girl standing there. Cody begins to whimper so I pick up my pace towards the car. I load everything I bought into the trunk and head back inside the mall to the parents bathroom. I quickly change Cody's nappy and head out.

I give Cody back his nearly empty sippy cup of apple juice and help him to drink it. I pull it away as Cody gurgles up at me. I take his small hand in mine and place the teddy bear I bought in London in front of him. He squeals with joy and pulls it closer to him for a hug. I laugh at the baby and head into the kitchen for some toast.
