NIALL

"Good morning, angel" Liam said coming into the kitchen.

"Morning" Niall replied, as he poured milk into his cereal bowl.

"How did you sleep?" Liam wondered.

"Fine" Niall said, and he put the milk back in the fridge.

"And the baby?".

"Fine" Niall repeated, grabbed his bowl, and left the kitchen.

He went to the living room, turned on the telly, and sat on the couch to eat his cereal. But he had only eaten a couple of spoonfuls, when he was interrupted.

"Can we talk for a bit, please?" Liam asked.

"I'm having breakfast" Niall said without looking at him.

"Niall, please" Liam begged "We can't keep going like this".

Niall sighed, and he looked sideways at his boyfriend, and part of him wanted to give in, and kiss him, and tell him how much he loved him despite how much he had hurt him, but he fought that feeling, he couldn't be so weak.

"Did you tell your dad about me?" Niall asked.

"No" Liam answered.

"Did you at least tell your mum about the baby?" questioned Niall.

"No" Liam denied, his voice smaller.

"Your sisters?" Niall tried.

"No" Liam mumbled.

"Then we have nothing to talk about" Niall said determinately.

"But, Niall-" Liam started.

"I really want to eat my breakfast in peace" Niall cut him off.

"Okay" Liam gave up, and left him alone.

It was at time like these when all he wanted to do was crawl into his bed, and cry his eyes out.

Why?

Because it had been 3 weeks since Liam found out about the baby, and in those 3 weeks, he hadn't done shit to make up for all the pain he had caused him, like he had promised, and the more time went by, the more Niall got hurt.

But he knew he had to be strong, if not for himself, for his his baby, who he loved more than anything.

So he just finished eating his breakfast with a straight face, and when he was done, he went to the bathroom to take a shower.

At this moment every day, Niall would always look at his tummy in the mirror for a few minutes, to see how much it had grown, and this morning it actually seemed a lot bigger than the day before. But that wasn't really a concern for him, he knew it needed to happen for his baby to be healthy, well, except for the fact that he was running out of things that fit him.

He was about to step into the shower, when he felt a little flutter in his belly.

That had been happening for a few days now, and having no idea what it was, he had asked Louis, who had told him it was most likely the baby moving.
