The Phone Call

Chapter 17

Nialls POV

There stood Emily, my ex girlfriend. I had broken up with her once I went to audition for X-Factor. I just wanted to know why she was here and how she found out about me being home.

"H-hi Emily." I stuttered out.

"I'm glad your back Niall. It's been awhile and I was wondering if you might want to go out tonight? Like old times?" She asked with a smile. Emily was beautiful, but she wasn't anything compared to Lauren. Lauren was beautiful, she had natural beauty unlike Emily.

"Umm Emily, I'm here with my girlfriend. I don't know how you didn't know about her? We are in the news?" I said while scratching the back of my head.

"Ohh, I didn't know. I don't try to be caught up in all the celebrity news. " She said with a frown. I hated to see Emily upset but I have Lauren and I can't go hanging out with Emily.

"Niall! Where did you put the diaper bag I cant-" Lauren yelled while walking towards me, Im guessing she has spotted Emily as she has cut off her sentence.

"Umm Lauren, this is Emily. Emily this is Lauren and my son Mason." I said pulling Lauren into my side. Emily just stared at Mason.

"Yo-ou have a child?" She questioned.

"Yes I do." I said smiling while taking Mason from Lauren.

"Emily it's so nice to see you again! You should come to our dinner Friday night, just like old times!" My mother yelled.

"Umm I'm gonna go find the bad Lauren, come with me?" I asked taking Lauren's hand and walking away. How could my mom invite her over.

Lauren's POV

I was honestly confused who Emily was. Niall seemed pretty shocked when she was standing there. She must have known Niall but not anything in the news since she didn't even know Niall had Mason. I was glad Niall didn't say anything about Mason being my brother and I adopted him. That just shows how much Niall truly does love Mason. I was sorta of nervous with the family dinner on Friday. All of Nialls family was gonna be there. His dad was even coming. Let's just hope this goes okay.

Niall's POV

I had been thinking about getting Lauren a promise ring, but honestly I've been thinking an I really want to make Lauren my wife. I know I want to spend my whole life with her. I want to have more kids with her. I really didn't want to wait until we got back to London. I figured the best time to propose would be at the family dinner. I know that I couldn't pick out a beautiful ring, but I knew someone who could and has. I grabbed my phone and dialed Zayn's number. He finally picked up on the fourth ring.

"Hey Niall, what's up?" He said.

"Umm well I kinda need some help? Think you could fly here tomorrow?" I asked nervously, I would hate for him to have to leave Perrie and his family.

"Yeah man, but what do you need help with?" He asked curiously.

"Umm I need help with picking out an engagement ring for Lauren.." I spoke slow, knowing Zayn would flip out.

"YOURE GONNA PROPOSE?!" He yelled through the phone. In the background I could hear Perrie screaming with joy for Lauren and I.

"Yeah. She is the perfect girl for me. I want to spend my life with her." I said with a smile knowing he couldn't see how big it was.

"Niall that's great. I will be there tomorrow. Mind if I bring Perrie along? She will be a lot of help?" Zayn asked. Of course Perrie could come, we are gonna need a girl opinion anyways.

"Of course. See you guys tomorrow?" I said.

"See you tomorrow Niall." Zayn said before hanging up. I can't believe it. I'm finally gonna propose to Lauren. She won't be Lauren Tomlinson anymore. She will be Lauren Horan. Just like Mason. I of course was going to ask Mark for her hand in marriage. There was no way I would go ask her asshole of a father at his grave for her hand. Mark may have not been Lauren's dad for long but of course he was her dad and it would be the respectful thing to do. I walked back downstairs to see Lauren setting all the food on the table with my mom and Greg holding Mason. I walked over to Lauren and kissed her forehead and whispered I love you in her ear, she looked back and replied I love you Niall. Before she went back into the kitchen.

*Next day*

Nialls POV

I was at the airport, waiting for Perrie and Zayn to arrive. I was very happy that no one had notice me yet. Of course I had security near by just in case. I finally see Zayn and Perrie walking towards me.

"Niall!" Perrie whispered as she came close to me engulfing me in a hug. She moved away and I gave a hug to Zayn.

"It's nice to see you man." I said.

"You too. So you ready to pick this ring out? We have a flight at 5 tonight." Zayn informed me.

"Yeah, let's get going." I said leading them toward my car as we headed toward the mall. I was ready to pick her ring out.

"So what did you say to Lauren to get out of the house?" Perrie asked.

"My mom and Denise are taking her out for a girls day to the spa. Greg offered to watch Mason." I replied as we pulled into the parking lot. I hopped out of the car and turned towards Perrie and Zayn.

"You look excited." Zayn said smiling as he took Perries hand into his.

"Yes I am. This is a big step for Lauren and I. But it's the right step." I said smiling. We made small talk as we entered the mall and headed to Tiffany & Co. I had called earlier to make an appointment so hopefully no fans would spot Zayn and I. We walked in and was greeted by whom I assume is the manager.

"Hi, you must be Niall." She asked with a smile. I nodded.

"Follow me to the back and I will bring the best rings out." She said while walking towards the back as Zayn, Perrie an I followed her. We took a seat at the table and waited for her to return.

"So these are our best rings. There is this one which is princess cut." The lady continued to talk and show me different rings. Until Perrie and I bother laid eyes on the most beautiful ring.

"That one right there." I said with a smile on my face. She picked it up and handed it to me to observe.

"It's our Round Brilliant." She said with a smile.

"This is the one." I said smiling at Perrie and Zayn. The lady nodded and took it along with her. I told her that Lauren's ring size was a 5. She nodded and led me to the cash register. Once I was finished there, I took Zayn and Perrie out to eat for their help. Afterwards I took them back to the airport and told them we would see them soon. I had invited them to our family dinner Friday night along with the rest of the lads along with their families. I had informed my mum and she was perfectly fine with it. I was planning on asking Mark once he arrived Friday. I arrived back home to see Lauren putting Mason to bed.

"Hello my beautiful lady." I said wrapping my arms around her waist.

"Why hello my handsome man." She replied turning around to lightly kiss me on the lips. I couldn't wait to call her my wife.
