You're Just A Daydream Away

Chapter 18

"Haley! Looks like you've gained some weight! Are you pregnant?!"

I could feel my face go pale and my pulse increase. I was in shock.

Suddenly, I was inside the building with no memory of how I got there.

"Babe! Babe! Haley!" Niall was shouting at me. "Snap out of it!"

"What? Sorry..." I had been lost in space since that guy asked me about being pregnant.

"Is this because he called you fat?" Niall asked.

"What? No." I quickly replied. Too quickly.

"The pregnant thing...?" he asked suspiciously.

"Just go to your interview babe. I'm fine really."

"Okay... if you insist. Also it's a press conference, not an interview." he said then kissed me on the forehead and walked away flanked by security guards.

I quickly sat down at a table in the lobby and pulled out my phone. In my notes I had a list of the dates of my periods. Today was September 3rd. My last period was July 18th. I had skipped August. I've been getting my period since I was 14 and never once had I skipped a month before.

I started shaking slightly. The guy was right, I had gained weight. I had been eating more but I didn't think anything of it until now. I had just attributed it to stress eating because of the move and starting school again.

I started thinking of scenarios of what I would do if I had a child. Abortion wasn't an option for me; it hadn't been since I found out when I was like 4 that I could have babies. I'd always been to attached to the idea of having kids.

I know Niall would be a great father, but I wasn't sure I was ready for that. I doubt he was either.

I told myself I couldn't worry about it right now. I had other things to do. I calmed myself down and walked into the room where the press conference was with my head held high.
