34. Can you say baby?

NIALL

After Louis made him take that pregnancy test, his friend insisted on making a doctor's appointment for him, claiming he needed to check if the baby was okay as soon as possible.

So Louis had called his doctor's office, he had even talked to the doctor herself, and somehow he had managed to get them to squeeze him in at 2 for the following day, which in Niall's opinion was way too soon.

But apparently Louis was calling the shots, because as much as Niall complained about it, they were now in Louis' (actually, Harry's) car heading to the appointment.

"I don't think this is a good idea" Niall said nervously while Louis drove.

"Yes, it is" Louis contradicted "Once you see your baby, you'll fall in love with him or her, and that will give you the courage you need to tell Liam".

"I don't think I'll ever have enough courage to do that" Niall sighed, and looked outside the window.

He still couldn't believe this was actually happening to him; it felt unreal... or more like a nightmare he couldn't wake up from.

He knew he wasn't ready for a baby, and what was worse, he didn't even want a baby, and he knew neither did Liam.

But as much as he didn't want it, he hadn't been capable of getting rid of it, just thinking about the appointment he had made a few weeks ago, made him sick to his stomach.

So he was just going to have to man up, as Louis had said, and accept that he was going to have a baby and be a father.

Unless he gave the baby up.

He had thought about that possibility, but he hadn't shared it with Louis, because he was sure his friend was going to tell him not to do it. But if it came to that, he didn't want the decision to be influenced by another person's opinion, it was his own decision to make... and Liam's.

They got there a few minutes later, and after Louis had taken a sleeping Milo from the car, and placed him in the stroller, they headed inside.

"What's the doctor's name again?" Niall questioned.

"Amy Blackwell" Louis replied "She's really, really nice, and she makes you feel very comfortable around her".

"Yeah, you already said that" Niall mumbled, as they reached the floor.

"I'll go tell them you're here, alright?" Louis proposed.

"Okay" Niall agreed, and went to take a seat.

He watched as Louis talked to a receptionist, and then he went to join him in the waiting area.

"They're going to call you in soon to take a blood and a urine test" Louis explained as he sat down next to him.

"Sure" Niall nodded casually, but inside, his stomach was in knots.

"Do you want me to go in with you?" Louis wondered.

"Not to the urine test" Niall joked, trying to release some of the tension.

"But yes to see the doctor?" questioned Louis.

"Yeah, if you don't mind, I don't think I can do it without moral support" Niall said truthfully.
