Sleeping with Naill Horan

~Chapter 23~

Today Vander is six months old and I can't imagine my life without him. He's the light of my life and I know Ash feels the same way. Niall and Ash butt heads a lot when it comes to different things such as care and who's going to watch him. At this point I don't work and I spend all day with El and Vander. El has been a blessing in surprise and it's good to see her so happy with Luke. It's hard to love someone who's just a big kid most of the time. Tonight, after we get back from an appointment Ash and the guys are all meeting to discuss a tour? I'm on edge about it since I know it's going to take them away for a long time, it's not that I can't handle it but it's already confusing with two dads for Vander.

Niall never misses anything when it comes to appointments for Vander and today is no different. We've done a good job of keeping our secret about who Vander belongs to but I can't help but feel like soon we're going to run into something. It's going to force us to state the truth and I don't know how it will go but I know most people won't be happy. We wait in the waiting room in silence like we usually do until they call us back. All appointments go well and this one is no different. He's given shots and they check to make sure he's on track. They ask me a bunch of questions about him and our daily routine, but it's all normal. Once we get out of the office Niall is carrying Vander around and I can't help but smile. Niall has been a big help and I wasn't aware how involved he was going to be. Ash squeezes my hand as we walk behind the two of them. That's when things go south and I can't stop the train from wrecking.

I want to run and hide as we run right into the paparazzi. Simultaneously we freeze as they take pictures and close in on us. I can't focus and as soon as they are close Vander starts to scream, thankfully Niall hands him to me and he puts his head on my chest. I bounce him around but he's still crying. Both Ash and Niall stand in front of us as if the wall they've created was going to stop them. I can hear them talking but no one is answering. Questions come at us faster than we can answer but I see Ash and Niall talking, I can't make out what they've decided to do but they look away and Ash starts.

"Take ten steps back and we'll talk." He says, passing them a glance of warning to not get any closer.

They step back and it's like he has them where he wants them. They instantly attack Niall and he waits until there is a question worth answering. Once one comes I'm speechless and scared about what's about to come out of his mouth. I know it will be the truth but it's going to hurt and I'm not ready for it.

"Niall tell us about how Vander looks just like you. We thought he was Ashton's." Niall mulls over this for a second before he speaks.

"Paigelyn and I were together for some time even before the tour started. We were together before it started and then again after it began. Both of us were married at the time but that didn't stop us. We decided we were better off without each other as Ashton's interest in Paigelyn grew. It wasn't but a few short weeks later she told me she was pregnant. It's been something we've been hiding for a long time due to our ex's but now that they aren't a problem it's no secret. Vander's my son." He said looking at the people who had now gathered.

They asked a bunch of questions after that but we decided it would be better if we moved on. I tried to get over the fact that the truth was out there for the whole world to know and within a few days the whole world would know what the truth is. It's hard for me to swallow and as soon as we're in the car I cry.

"Sweetheart, it's ok. We will get through this and our fans will get over it." Ash says taking my hand

"I know it's just embarrassing that's all."

"What's embarrassing about having a baby with someone?"

"That right there, it makes it seem like I was sleeping with both of you and Niall got the prize." I nearly whine.
