You And I

Chapter 17:

Syd:

When I woke up it was 1 in the afternoon. Good thing I didn't have work today. I was really paying for yesterday today. My whole body ached. I walked to the bathroom to get some pain killers when I noticed a pregnancy test sitting on the counter. I dropped the pill bottle into the sink, luckily it wasn't opened. I ran back to the bedroom and grabbed my phone dialing Niall's number.

Voicemail.

I went back to the bathroom my hands shaking. Clearly something happened that I might be pregnant other wise Niall wouldn't have bought this. I took the test and left it too sit. I tried to watch a movie, TV, play a game on my phone, go on social media, play a game on my laptop, watch youtube. Nothing helped take away the nerves I felt waiting for the timer on my phone to go off saying I could check the test.

The timer went off and I booked it for the bathroom. I slid across the floor into the bathroom and grabbed the sink to stop myself. I looked at the test and cheered out loud when I read it. "I'm Not Pregnant!!!" I yelled throwing the test in the trash as I check the others. All negative.

I threw them all away and started dancing around the house to Drag Me Down, which was really ironic... at least to me it was. Niall walked in the door while I was dancing around and he looked at me with a weird look. I went and sat on the couch. I wasn't gonna tell him anything until he told me why he bought the tests in the first place.

He came and sat next to me. "I have something to tell you." He said. I paused my music and looked at him. "What's up?" I asked as he looked at his lap. "The condom broke last night." He said his face flushing red.

"Well that explains the pregnancy tests." I said and his face went even more red.

"But at least I'm not pregnant." I said and he lifted his head and looked at me with a smile.

"Don't get me wrong, I'd be happy either way, but at least I have more time to prepare myself for a child." He said pulling me into a hug.

After I turned my music back on and started dancing around again. "Why are you dancing to my music?" He asked.

"...Don't judge my Pandora radios..." I said as I kept dancing. He just shrugged and got up and started dancing with me.

After we decided we danced all our energy out we decided to go out for dinner. When we got home there was a package sitting on the front porch. When I got closer a puppy jumped out and ran down the stairs wiggling it tail at me and barking up at me. I picked it up and smiled as it attacked me with kisses.

"Where did this come from?" I asked looking the dog over. It wasn't hurt and had a collar but no tags.

"He came from the local dog shelter. I had Louis go pick him up, he I left the collar in the mail box so Louis could put it on him. You have to name him. His mom was adopted from the shelter after she was able to leave the babies." He said kissing my forehead.

"Chase." I said and the puppy looked at me with it's head sideways.

"Casper." I said and the dog barked.

"Casper it is." I said smiling at Niall.

I walked up the stairs and opened the door and the puppy ran in and started running around. I got a bowl out and put some water in it and Niall left to go get him food. "You're so adorable." I said. Casper is a Pittbull. He's white with tan ears, paws, a patch on his right eye, and his tail is tan at the end.

Niall walked in the door with food, a leash, shampoo, brush, and nail clippers. "Casper, you are living the high life now." I said kissing his head before he ran off and started eating the food Niall put down for him.

I yawned and looked at the time. "I say it's bed time." I said and walked back the hall to the bedroom. I changed into my Pjs and crawled into bed. Niall crawled in and cuddle up next to me and Casper sat on the floor looking at me. "C'mon boy." I said and patted the bed. He jumped up and curled up at out feet his head facing the open bedroom door.
