Saving Each Other (Niall Horan Fanfic)

It's Just, You, Me, and Our Child/ Chapter Twenty Five

                                                                               NIALL' POV

I woke up the next morning and Brianna wasn't in my arms but I could smell coffee so, I put on a shirt and went downstairs. 

"Good morning" I said as I saw her sitting in the living room, curled up in her favorite chair, with her knees to her chest, and a big cup of coffee in her hand. 

"Hi" she lowly said. 

"When did you get up?" I asked her, trying to avoid what I knew was coming. 

"Not long ago" she simply replied.

"Where are you're parents?" I asked as I sat down next to her. 

"Dad's at work. Mom is at the salon" she said. She was being so short with me, and I knew why. 

"What about your brother?" I asked. I kept stalling because I knew what she was going to bring up any minute. 

"He had to go back to his mom's, pack some more stuff and take his girlfriend home" she said, then sipped some of her coffee. 

"I'm shocked they all left you here" I said. 

"My mom said when they got home, she came to check on me and she saw us sleep together. She said she knew you'd keep my safe" she said than started to cry. 

"Baby why are you crying?" I asked then took her coffee from her, put it on the coffee table, and held her. 

"Her words really hurt and to repeat them hurt more because I know I have to let you go" she said then began to cry even more. 

"No you don't just tell me what's going on and I can protect us both" I told her. 

"Niall there's nothing going on, I just can't handle your lifestyle" she said as she wiped her tears. 

"It's not my lifestyle anymore. I'm out because of you" I said as I could feel myself about to cry. 

"Niall please try to understand. I'm a good girl I'm not used to this kind of stuff" she said, and that was it for me. I was crying, which made her cry. 

"Niall don't cry, please believe me I love you I'm just scared" she said as she cried. 

"Scared of what? Conor is dead" I told her.

                                                                                      BRIANNA'S POV

Every time he mentioned Conor and his death, it terrified me. I wondered to myself should I tell him? Can he protect us? How do I tell him I'm pregnant? I couldn't calm the thoughts going through my head. The only thing I knew for certain was I was terrified. I decided to tell him the truth. I took a deep breath, wiped my tears, and spoke. 

"No he's not" I simply and slowly said. 

"What do you mean?" he asked.  

"Conor isn't dead" I said slowly again. He was silent, he just starred at me. 

"How do you know?" He finally asked. 

"Remember when we were at the airport on our way back and that guy brushed up against me?" I asked. 

"Yea" he said as he nodded his head. 

"Well that guy worked for Conor and he put a note in my pocket" I told him. 

"Where is it?" He asked. 

"I threw it out" I said. 

"Do you remember what it said?" He asked me.

"Yes, I'll never forget it's words" I told him. 

"Tell me what it said" he said, seeming just as scared as I was. I repeated the letter's words and the look on his face worried me. It was a look of shock and horror. It was as if we were sitting watching a horror movie. 

"But I don't understand. I killed him" he said as he shook his head. 

"Obviously you didn't" I said as I shrugged my shoulders.

"Wait what baby is this guy talking about?" Niall asked. It took me a minute to respond, I just put my head down. 

"Brianna, what baby?" He asked again. I couldn't look at him, I just kept my head down. 

"That's another reason I was gonna leave you, I'm pregnant" I said as I began to cry again.

"WHAT!?" Niall said, seeming excited as he jumped up. I looked at him shocked. 

"You seem happy?" I said confused. 

"Yes I'm happy, I'm so very happy!!" He shouted. 

"How could you be happy right now!?" I asked. 

"I mean considering what Conor is saying how could you be happy?" I said as I stood up. He didn't respond, he just sat down,  pulled me onto his lap and grabbed my cheeks. 

"Fuck Conor. OK? It's you, me, and our child. Nothing and no one else matters" he said then kissed me on the forehead. 

"But Niall, he's coming for his money, me, and the baby. How do we fix that?" I asked.

"Well how does he even know about the baby?" He asked. 

"I got sick in front of him, then the realization that I was pregnant hit me, he saw it all" I said. 

"Did he know you were pregnant when he raped you?" He asked. 

"I don't know. I don't think so though" I said as I put my head down because the memory of that horrible day came to me. 

"OK, listen to me we can get through this. I'm not gonna let that fuckhead hurt you or our child" he said as he pulled me closer. 

"What about you?" I asked as the thought of Conor killing Niall terrified me. 

"He can't hurt me baby, he never could" he said confidently. 

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Conor never could fight. When he would try to fight me, I'd always kick his ass" he told me. 

"OK well since he knows that, what's to stop him from bringing a gun and shooting you?" I asked as I felt myself about to cry again.

"Um, airport security?" he said as he shrugged his shoulders and laughed. 

"Babe that's not funny" I said trying to be serious but I ended up laughing anyway. 

"Then why are you laughing?" He asked as he laughed. 

"Shut up" I said as I punched him on the shoulder. 

"So my baby is having my baby?" He asked as he rubbed my stomach. 

"Yes" I said as I smiled. As we sat there, and watched him rub and kiss on my stomach, I knew we weren't safe. I knew we were in danger. I knew something horrible was coming and I knew he did too. I had no idea what we were gonna do. I also had no idea how we were going to tell my family.
