Love Ain't Easy |Niall Horan|

Chapter 7

~Nine Months Later~

I held the small, newborn baby boy in my arms, Luke on my right and Ashton was on my left. I smiled weakly, knowing I was still a virgin. It felt weird to have been impregnated without having to have sex to have this magnificent baby boy.

Luke hummed gently and said, "Anthony's so cute.". He gently took him from my arms and began to softly him. I gently shook my bead and tried to relax as I began yawning softly. 

"So now I'm like Jane from the show Jane the virgin," I ask Ashton, referencing our favorite show.

"Yep," Ashton hummed in reply, "I'm happy both you and he are healthy.".

"Weird as hell," I giggled softly, yawing again, "but I'm happy he's here too.". 

Ash laughs, then he watches Luke and Tony. I hummed softly, holding back more yawns as I watched how Luke was naturally being a parent.

"Get some sleep, Baby Sis," Ashton whispered softly, "you did a miraculous thing; plus I can tell you're exhausted. Your eyes always cloud with sleep when you hold back yawns.".

I opened my mouth to protest, but decided Ashton was right. I blinked tiredly as Luke laid Tony on my chest, his voice soft, "Thank you.".

I give a soft smile as I close my eyes, as comfortable as I was going to get. I drifted off and cuddled with my little boy.

~Three Weeks Later~

I walk into the living room, waiting on Ashton and Luke. I held Tony in my arms, sighing softly as I shook my head, yet I was certain with my choice; was it the right one though?

Ash and Luke walk in, Luke's cheeks swollen from having his wisdom teeth out. I reassuringly smile at Luke, then at Ashton, knowing a groggy Luke was going to be a handful for him.

"Ashie, I wanna date again," I mumbled, "I know I said I would never date again, but it feels like I'm missing out.".

"Luke and I know someone," Ashton says, "but if you're not one hundred percent sure.".

"I'm sure, but not very," I murmur, "What if this guy is like... you know who?".

"Just meet the guy," Luke whines, then he giggled, "Pink elephants.".

"Fine," I whine back, hiding my giggles.

"Luke, call Niall," Ashton says, hoping his love wasn't too loopy and would be able to help out.

Luke was fast asleep on the couch, softly breathing. Ashton shook his head and made a quick phone call. He furrowed his brows, then smiled. I arched a brow, then shook my head as I tended to Tony.

"Our friend should be here tomorrow," Ashton says, "He's excited to meet you.".

"I'm gonna put Tony down for a nap and you need to change Luke's gauze in his mouth," I tell Ashton, then I head to the stairs, "I meant it about Luke's gauze, Ashton!".

A soft groan, followed by an 'Alright! You win,' was Ashton's response. I shook my head again.

~A Day Later~

I was still sleeping when I heard Ashton and Luke shout for me. I get up, groggy and not caring about my appearance; I had on a faded One Direction tank top, a pair of lime green, knitted sleeping shorts, sports bra and pink underwear.

I walk down the stairs and head to the living room after checking on Tony, whom hadn't woken up yet.

"What," I ask Ashton, sleepiness lacing my voice.

"Hello, Beautiful," an Irish voice says.

I blinked, my mind still hazy from sleep. Ashton chuckled softly at me, but when I lowly growl at him he shuts up.

"Niall, this's my sister, River," Ashton says.

Oh boy; what can go wrong?
