*Fun Fact...that's the town square where I grew up, only a couple minutes walk from my childhood home! :)*
************************************

I didn't like flying on a good day, so after a long nap, several trips to the bathroom and Niall's numerous attempts at joining the mile high club, we were finally in Chicago. Now we just had an hour drive to a hotel near my parents house.

Jet lag mixed with the fact I was constantly tired recently was kicking my ass.

"I put the hotel reservation in your name. That way I can try and stay hidden so nobody recognizes me."

"Okay." I yawned, I was so glad Basil was here to drive because there was no way either of us could survive the drive.

After finally checking in at the hotel we all make our way to our rooms to get some much needed sleep.

Or so I thought.

Now that I was actually in Indiana only ten minutes away from the house I grew up in, telling my parents seemed ten times scarier.

"Go to sleep or I'm tying you down to the bed."

"I can't. You were right. My parents are going to kill us. We should have waited until after the baby was born so your mom could take care of it. Now all three of us are going to die."

"You're being a drama queen."

"No I'm not."

Niall sighs as he props himself upon his elbow.

"I promise you, everything will be fine. Now sleep, okay? We'll deal with your parents tomorrow."

"Fine." I huff and hide under the covers.

Niall pulls the covers back and pulls me over to him and I instantly fall asleep.

"Are you sure I look okay? I feel fat, my jeans wouldn't even button?"

"You look fine! We're going to be late! You're dad is already going to kill me I don't need him to hate me for being late too, let's go!"

"Okay, chill out."

Niall leads us out of the hotel to the car, leaving Basil at the hotel to relax by the pool while we go to my parents for lunch.

"Ya know, we eventually have to talk about London..."

"I know. It makes the most sense, it's just scary. This place doesn't even feel like home anymore Mullingar does. I have Claire and Denise back there, all I have in London is you. You have a whole life there and I don't want you to have to give any of that up or feel like you need to take care of me."

"How about we go to London for a few weeks, you can meet my friends, maybe we can meet a doctor and then we'll make a decision. I don't want to pressure you into moving, but I also can't be in Mullingar 24/7, I have to take care of things in London too and I don't want to be away from you."
