Once I felt like the house was spotless I sat down on the couch with Niall to relax a bit. "I love you." He whispered randomly out of nowhere, making my heart flutter. "I love you too." I whispered back, meaning every single word. We were watching TV when I finally heard the door bell ring, making me and Niall stand up, running to the door.

"Aunt Kelly!" I exclaimed, giving her a right hug as Niall took her luggage from her hands. "Maria I missed you so much! And I see that Niall is here too." She said, giving me a sarcastic wink. "Nice to see you Ms. Sacramona." Niall said, greeting aunt Kelly. "Oh you're making me sound old, call me Kelly from now on." She said with a smile, walking into my bedroom with her luggage. "This place is amazing, you really have worked hard haven't you?" She said, with a proud expression as she looked around the kitchen with Niall and I behind her. "This apartment is very nice, do you two live together?" Aunt Kelly asked, I Niall and I shook our heads a no and that's when I remembered that I forgot to tell her about Niall and I. "We're actually a couple now." I say, looking at Niall to give him a quick smile. "Oh sweetheart I knew the moment he walked into my home that he would win your heart, you guys seem to click." Aunt Kelly explained in the most confusing way possible.

"Alright well you will sleep in my bedroom and Niall and I can sleep in the living room, on the couch." I explain. "Of course not! You guys are sleeping on the bed and I'll just sleep on the couch, this argument is over." She says.

After a couple of hours of talking and catching up Aunt Kelly went into the bedroom to sleep while Niall and I set up the couch to sleep on. "Well I can sleep on the floor and you can sleep on the couch." Niall offers as he helps me lay the blanket on the couch. "There's space for the both of us on the couch." I say with a smile.

We both laid on the couch as Niall faced the ceiling and I faced him. I was on the verge of falling asleep when Niall spoke up. "Maria?" He asked, a little too fast paced, which made me feel a little scared. "What?" I asked. "Do you promise to love me no matter what?" He asked, barely a whisper. His question confused me, making my facial expression turn to a frown. "Is there something I should know?" I asked, ignoring his question. "N-no, just promise me alright?" He asked once more. "I promise." I finally said, as he gave me a long kiss on the lips, his touch lingering after he pulled away.

After a few moments of thinking about what the hell Niall was trying to talk about I finally slept in his warm and comforting embrace.

I woke up as I heard a load thump coming from the kitchen. When I walked over into the kitchen I found Niall and Aunt Kelly cooking breakfast together. "Good morning sweetie." Aunt Kelly said after she stopped laughing. "Morning babe." Niall said, kissing my cheek, making me smile as I rubbed my eyes. "What's going on?" I asked, a little confused. "Niall dropped the pan I was going to cook eggs with." Aunt Kelly said, glancing at Niall. We all cooked together, mostly Niall and Aunt Kelly, I just watched considering I stink at cooking.

After eating breakfast Niall walked into my bedroom to answer a phone call, he seemed quite urgent to answer it. What was going on with him lately?

I walked near the bedroom, and overheard him say something. "Ill tell her later, I just hope she forgives me...i swear to god you better not fucking tell her it will crush her!" He said, raising his voice a little. Who was he talking to? And who was he talking about, me? What was he hiding from me?

The questions kept swirling around my mind, I was too busy thinking of the possibilities to notice him putting his phone away. "Maria? What are you doing here..?" He asked, his voice trailing off a bit. "Who was that?" I asked, my voice cracking a bit. "Niall what's going on? What are you hiding from me?" I asked, I was scared to know what it was to cause him to get so angry on the phone. "Maria... I can't-" I cut him off before he could finish. "Tell me now Niall or you're out." I said, a bit too harsh. "You're kidding right? I didn't do anything wrong!" He snapped, which surprised me completely. "I'm not kidding, tell me right now or you're leaving." I repeated. "It's not that easy." He complains, trying to hold my hand but I quickly move my hand away. "Tell me right now!" I yell, quickly closing the door hoping aunt Kelly doesn't hear any of this. "I have a son." He whispered, I froze in place. He has to be joking, right? "...what the hell are you talking about?" I ask, my breathing getting heavier by the second. "A few months before I met you, I met up with my ex girlfriend and.." I cut him off, I can't imagine Niall with another girl, let alone get her pregnant. "She called me the night before you came back from Los Angeles, she's pregnant Maria." He whispered, he sounded more scared than I was. "Is that why you went drinking that night?" I asked,

connecting the missing puzzle pieces. He quietly nodded.

This was all too much, I took a seat on the bed, Niall doing the same. "Who is she?" I finally asked after a silent moment of thinking. "Her name is Veronica, she's here in New York." He whispered, rubbing his temples. "How could you not tell me this?" I tried to speak, trying to keep the tears from falling. This was a huge secret, Niall will be a father soon, how will this work out? "I'm so sorry baby, I was scared to tell you. I thought you would freak out and leave me." He whispered, holding my hands tight in his, making the tears stroll down my face. "No baby don't cry, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, I messed up bad." He spoke, gently wiping away my tears with his thumb. This was all too much to take in. What was going to happen to the baby. "What is Veronica doing with the baby?" I asked, looking down at our hands. "She's keeping the baby, but she's moving back into her parents house to take care of it. She's going back to Boston." He explained. "So you're not going to take any responsibility for the baby?" I asked. "We decided I could visit the baby once he's old enough to notice. That way he will have a dad to support him." He explained.

"I don't know what to do with this information Niall." I whispered. "I really am sorry Maria." He explained. I quickly got up and wiped away my tears. "Let's not leave aunt Kelly waiting." I quietly said, Niall got up and followed me from behind as we both walked into the kitchen.

"What do you guys wanna do today? I really want to see Time Square for the first time." Aunt Kelly exclaimed, as we all sat on the couch, watching TV. "I actually have to go soon, maybe I could join you two later?" Niall asked and I nodded.

After Niall left aunt Kelly and I got ready and walked out of the apartment. I called a cab to drive us to Time Square.

Once we got there we visited the m&m store first, considering how much aunt Kelly loved chocolate.

We took some pictures around the store, and next to the giant m&m characters.

After walking around the store for a little more we decided on visiting the Disney store. "These princess outfits are so cute! I can't wait until you have a baby of your own I can dress up in cute little outfits!" She exclaimed, sending shivers down my body at the thought. Considering what happened this morning I don't really want to think about having kids. I simply smiled and nodded, walking around the store full of children.

We stopped by a small sandwich place to get lunch. Aunt Kelly talked most of the time while I thought about Niall and his yet to be born son. This was all unbelievable. "Did you hear what I said?" Aunt Kelly asked, snapping me back to reality. "No sorry, I kinda blurred out." I apologized. "What's going on with you and Niall?" She asked. "Did you hear our little argument?" I asked, starting to panic. "no, but I noticed how distant you two were today." She explained. "I may be old but I know how relationships work, I can tell something was going on." She explained. "It's complicated." I mumbled.

After eating we decided to walk around Time Square, then called a cab to drive us home.

When we got home aunt Kelly went into the bedroom to take a nap while I decided to call Louis.

"Hey Maria!" He said, in a cheerful voice. "I Louis, aunt Kelly came, she's staying at my place for a couple of days." I informed. "Really? That great! When can I come and see her?" He asked. "She's sleeping right now but we aren't busy tonight." I explained. "That's great." He said. "Can I ask you something?" I whispered to the phone. "Yeah?" He asked. "Did you know about Niall and...and-" he cut me off. "Yeah I did, he told me about it a day after he found out. I'm sorry Maria but he made me promise not to tell you.@ he said. "It's okay, it's just scary, I'm scared Louis. My boyfriend is going to have a baby in less than three months." I said, shaking at the thought. "It's okay Maria, after he's born you will never have to see him again." He reminded me, reassuring me.

After talking for a little more with Louis I sat down to watch television at 8:37, but fell asleep while watching Friends.
