What Is Love?

The Big News

*Maddie's POV* *2 Weeks Later*

"Beeeeeep. Beeeeeep. Beeeeeeeeeeeeep" i lifted my hand and slamed it onto my alarm. "Ughhhh" i groaned as i sat up. I looked at the calender then at my clock. "Niall comes home today!!!" I cheer while jumping out of bed. I quickly got a shower, got dressed and made breakfast. Then i cleaned our flat as best as i could. Lastly, i made sure we had food in the fridge because Niall is going to be hungry.

After i was done getting ready i checked the clock . "He should be here soon" i whispered to myself. "Any minute now until i see him again." I sat on the couch when something crossed my mind.

How am i going go tell him? Its not something you can just blurt out. I have to be gentle when i tell him the news. Im not sure how he will feel about it. Will he be happy? Excited? Scared? Angry? Im not even sure how i feel about it yet. All i know is that i need to tell him.

Thoughts and ideas raced around in my head and it made me anxious. I dont know how to do this. What am i even suppose to say? I sat still, nervously waiting. My fingers twitched and i became nauseous. My heart was pounding and tears threatened to spill from my eyes.

"I cant do this" I spoke softly. Then all of a sudden i heard someone useing a key to the door. Somehow i got myself up and walked over to the door.

I watched as the door knob slowly turned and the door opened. Standing right in front of me was someone i havent seen in what feels like forever. When i saw him i jumped into his arms. I took in his scent as i pushed my face into his chest. "I missed you soo much!" I sounded muffled against him. He wrapped his arms around me tightly. "I missed you too babe. Sooo much!" He sounded like he was crying. I looked up at him and smiled with tears in my eyes. "I love you" i whispered before he kissed me.

"I wanna watch Harry Potter!!!" I wined. "But i wanna watch Football!" He argued back. "Please" i said giving him the puppy dog face. "You know i cant say no to that adorable face" he said and i kissed his nose. "Thanks babe." I said and put on Harry Potter.

About an hour into the movie i turned to my side and noticed Niall had fallen asleep. "Aweee. He's sooo cute when he is sleeping" i whispered playing with his hair. I sighed. I need to tell him. But how? How do i even bring up the conversation? This is too hard. I dont want to put any more pressure on him. Expesually now with the tour. But he needs to know. He is the father.

"Morning babe" Niall said to me as he entered the kitchen. "Morning" i replied. He then came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. He placed his head on my shoulder and whipsered into my ear, "Youre so beautiful". I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Pancakes" i said and he got excited. "Yes! Pancakes! Im starving!" He said excitedly and i laughed.

"Thanks babe. They were delicious" He said as he finished his 4th and final pancake. We both got up from the table and put our plates in the sink when i noticed something. "Why are you staring at me?" I asked. he shrugged. "I dont know. You seem different, in some way. I dont know." He said questioning himself. "Ohh" was all i said. He notices something different? Oh no. Can he tell that I'm pregnant? No he cant, im not even showing yet. Should i tell him? What do i say?

"Im sorry. its probably nothing. I havent seen you in a month, i just missed you so much. I love you" he said kissing my cheek. I turned around and looked at him. He moved his hands so they were behind my back and pulled me closer so our chests were touching. His eyes locked on mine as his arms kept me close to him. He smiled as he leaned in kissing my nose. I sighed. "Whats wrong?" He asked, sounding upset.

This is it. I have to tell him. He needs to know. "Babe. Theres....something i need to tell you" i said hesitantly. He adjusted his arms around me and pulled me closer. "Yes. What is it babe?" He asked, waiting for me to respond. I took a deep breath and placed my hand on his cheek. "Niall." i paused. This is it. Im going to tell him. I take in a deep breath as my heart starting pounding. My head became dizzy as i forced myself to speak. When i spoke it came out as a whisper.

"Im pregnant"

*Nialls POV*

I watched and listened as my beautiful girl spoke. "Niall." She said. "Im pregnant" i watched her eyes and i knew she was scared. I froze and just stared at her. Slowly i released my hands from around her and took a step back. I brushed my hand through my hair and i began to sweat. My head started spinning and i didnt know what was goin on. I began feeling nauseous and i thought i was gonna faint.

"Niall? Are you okay?" Maddie asked me and i just stood there. I tried to speak but no words would come out. "Im sorry." She said as tears swelled up in her eyes. I watched as she fell to her knees and started to cry. "Im sorry Niall. Im sorry" her hands were covering her face as she continued to cry. "Niall. Im sorry. Please dont leave me. I need you." She cried.

My head was pounding and my heart was beating so fast i thought it would burst. I know i need to say something but im still trying to process this. Suddenly a feeling came over me and i knew what i had to do. I stepped toward her as she sat on the floor in front of me. I leaned down and used my hand to hold her head up so she would look me in the eyes.

"Im not going anywhere" i said and kissed her.

Its almost 4 in the morning and i havent been able to fall asleep. My mind is going crazy about what Maddie told me today. How could she be pregnant? I swear we were safe. But i guess we weren't. I don't know. But how the hell am i suppose to be a dad? "I just dont understand how this could happen." i whispered the last part.

"Niall?" i heard Maddie say as she opened her eyes. "Are you okay?" she asked me and i smiled. "Yeah of course." i tell her. "Okay. Now tell me the truth" she says and sits up. I do the same and brush my hand through my hair. "Okay. im just thinking about this baby thing. How am i suppose to be a dad? Im only 19?" i say and watched as she placed her hand in mine.

"Niall. Do you not want to be a father?" She asked looking into my eyes. "Of course i do. I wasnt planning on having a baby now but i am excited. Though I honestly am a little worried. We're just so young." I tell her, getting teary eyed. "Nialler. Its okay. Im scared too. But ya know what? We're gonna get through this. Together." She said and kissed me.

*Maddie's POV*

"Come on Babe!" I heard Niall call for me. "Im coming" i said as i got out of the car. I walked holding Niall's hand into the building. "Madison Andrews" i told the lady at the counter. "Yes. Madison. The doctor will be right with you. Please have a seat." She told me and i nodded. Niall and i sat on the compfy chairs and waited. "Im excited" Niall whispered to me. I smiled. "I cant wait to hear the heartbeat" Niall said and i nodded. "Madison Andrews?" A tall lady with short brown hair asked. I stood up, still holding Niall's hand and followed the nurse.

"Please lay down" she said and i did what i was told. "Now. First of all congradulations" she said with a smile. I thanked her and looked at Niall who couldn't sit still because of his excitment. "Now Madison. How far along are you?" She asked me. "About 4 and a half weeks" i told her and she nodded as she set up the machine. I lifted up my shirt exposing my still small belly and smiled. She put the blue gel on my stomach and moved the wand around.

"Theres your baby" she said and i looked at the screen. A tiny figure was shown and i couldnt help but let a tear slip. Then i looked over at Niall whose eyes were glued to the screen. I noticed he also was teary eyed. "Babe" i said and he looked at me and smiled. "Thats our baby" he said and i nodded and turned back to the screen. "Can you tell what the gender is?" I asked and she shook her head. "Its too early to tell." She told me and i nodded.

I looked at my boyfriend as his smile grew wider. "Up until now i wasnt sure about this" he said. I nodded for him to continue. "But seeing our baby, and being here with you....I know that it will all be okay. I love you" he said and leaned in to kiss me.
