GET OUT THAT BOX OF TISSUES, BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA BE CRYING TEARS OF HAPPINESS
___________________________
Liam's POV~
While Niall went out with Louis I took the opportunity to talk to his parents. "So what's this about?" Bobby, Niall's dad questioned.

"I want you to know how much I appreciate you both, for everything you've done for Niall and I. It's been an honor getting to know you both-" "You're not breaking up are you?" Maura asked, now concerned. "No, no, not at all. Actually I was hoping to ask you if I could ask your son to marry me." I paused, looking at them, their eyes wide. "I know we're young. I get that. But I love your son. I know it won't be butterflies and rainbows, but I don't care. We've been through so much this past year, he's become a part of my heart that I can't live without. He's my rock. I love waking up to him in the morning, and falling asleep with him on my chest. I love making him laugh so hard he can't breathe, I love him."

"I know you boys have been through a lot, and I admit, I'm am in awe of how your relationship has thrived even after everything that happened. You are as much his rock as he is yours." He said and I smiled. "But you are both still very young..so I'll make you a deal. You have our blessing, but you have to wait until after you both graduate to actually get married." I let out a breath of relief. He didn't say no.

"Deal. Thank you so much." I let a tear slip down my cheek.

"Oh, I'm so happy for both of you." Maura said, standing up and giving me a big hug while kissing my cheek.

"Thanks Mrs. Horan." I said as she let go.

"Please, call me Maura, I've told you this."

"Right, sorry." I smile sheepishly.

"Well, we're going to go unpack back at our hotel, but we'll see you for dinner?" Maura asked.

"Of course, see you then."

Well, that went a lot better than I imagined it would.

Josh's POV~
"It's time." Blaire said opening my door. "He's awake."

"You could knock." I rolled my eyes, taking a sip of beer.

"Did you hear what I just said?" She snarled.

"Yes." I said, taking another sip.

"Are you coming with me or not?" She crossed her arms over her chest.

"Chill, I'm coming." I said, getting off the couch and grabbing my jacket before slipping it on and following her out the door.

"You're not jealous, are you?" She smirks. "You know I love you. Always so loyal. You're like a dog."

"I know you have an emotional attachment to the boy. Which makes you unstable, and more likely to betray me." I point out.

"You worry too much, Darling." She sighed, stepping into the elevator of the apartment building. I step in and the elevator doors shut.

Nick's POV~
"I don't know what to say to him." I sigh. Ricky pulls me onto his lap, & I rest my head on his shoulder. "Maybe we should go..I don't want to ruin his Christmas."

"Stop that. It's your Christmas too, it's been six months. I'm sure if you just go talk to him it'll all work out. Harry isn't one to hold a grudge..." He paused. "Usually."
