Small Bump ( Niall Horan Fanfic! :D)

Chapter Thirteen- Maura Comes to Stay

Niall's POV

After Lyric and I woke up, we called my mum. We asked about her coming to stay for a while and she imeaditaly agreed. I was finishing up setting the table, when my mum made her way through the door.

"Hello? Anyone home?" Her cheery voice rang out throughout the house.

"In the dining room Mum!" I called out in response. I took the spaghetti that was in a bowl, and I placed it on the table with the others things I made for dinner. Mum soon came in dragging two large suitcases behind her.

"Oh! My baby!" She cried, dropping her bags, and giving her me a hug. I happily returned it. She placed a kiss on my cheek, and looked around.

"Where's daughter-in-law at?" She asked referring to Lyric.

"She's up in our room, resting, she says she's a bit sore." I said.

"Okay, well I'm going to go talk to her, before dinner starts okay?" She asked.

"Sounds good Mum, I will take your bags upstairs to your room." I nodded.

Lyric's POV

I was sitting up in bed, watching tv, when someone knocked on the door.

"C'mon in." I said, peeling my eyes away from the screen and focused them on the door. Maura came in and shut the door behind her. My face lit up with excitement when she came in. Her smile grew when she saw me. She walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed, sitting next to me.

"Hi sweetie, how are you feeling?" She asked.

"The soreness is finally settling in." I sighed.

"You've been working yourself to much. You need to rest you just delivered the twins three days ago."

"Yeah, I know, I should've listened to the doctor." I chuckled at my own stubbornness.

"That's what you and Niall have in common. Your both very stubborn. What hurts sweetie?" She asked.

"My incision is killing me. My back is sore too, but that doesn't bother me as much as my incision and breasts do. They're only sore, since I couldn't nurse the babies, because of the prematurity." I explained.

"I know the feeling of the after pain." She chuckled. Then Niall came into the bedroom.

"Sorry to interrupt you chat ladies, but dinner is ready and I don't want it getting cold." He half smiled. Maura climbed off the bed, while I slowly took off the comforter, and swung my legs over to the edge of the bed. I looked over to Niall sympathetically, and he came over to help me up, because I knew for sure I wasn't strong enough to pull myself up. Niall bent over in front of me, while I raised my arms and wrapped them around is neck. He placed his hands underneath my arms and helped me stand up. As I was standing up, I winced in pain.

"I'm sorry princess." He whispered and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Love you." He whispered again.

"I love you too." He took my hand and we walked down to the dining room. Maura was already sitting at the table waiting for us. Niall sat at the head of the eight seater table, while I sat to the right of him, Maura sitting to his left. We made our plates and all starting eating quietly.

"Niall, has your Brother Greg called lately?" Maura asked him.

"Yeah he talked to me the day the twins were born. Why is something wrong?" He asked worriedly.

"Oh no, nothings wrong, he just said he was wanting to call you and I didn't know if he did or not.

"Oh." He said, forking some spaghetti into his mouth. I twirled my spaghetti around, and around my fork, and put it in my mouth.

"So, Lyric, you and Niall didn't say much about the babies on the phone. What is all going on." She was right. All that Niall and I had asked was if she could come stay for a while and that the babies were sick. I was hoping she wasn't going to bring it up, since it was still a rocky subject between Niall and I. We also just fount out the news today, so we were a bit emotional.

"Well, on our way home tonight. Niall and I got a call from the hospital. Niall got the call first since we were in different cars. The hospital thought we were together. When they hung up with Niall, they called me. They told me that after Niall and I had left that Michael had become really sick." I glanced over to Niall and his eyes were brimming with tears. He placed his large hand over mine in a comforting way, motioning for me to continue.

"They then told me that we couldn't come visit them, until they called us. The reason being is that Grace was at high risk of getting sick." I took a deep breath in trying not to cry. I tried blinking back the tears which didn't help. Niall squeezed my hand and I smiled weakly at him, he who had tears of his own falling down his cheeks.

"So now, Niall and I are just waiting for the call, for the doctors to tell us that our babies okay." I sighed, my voice breaking.

That's when the tears started to fall.
