Forever & Always ~ Niall Horan AU~

Chapter 14

Kristy's POV

" How are you feeling?" I asked Niall. 

"Better." He smiled at me. 

"That's good." I said then placed the food tray next to him. 

"You know you don't have to do this." Niall told me. 

"Do what?" I asked him. 

"Bring me food." He told me. 

"I don't mind, and plus it gives me an excuse to spend time with you." Niall's smile increased. I sat down on the bed next to Niall.

"Any news?" I asked him.

" Should be off bed rest soon. Just have to get the all clear from Harry." 

" I'm glad to hear." I smiled at him. I looked at the clock and shook my head.

" Shoot. I'm sorry I have to go. My grandmother needs to leave early."  I rambled on. 

"Wait." Niall grabbed my hand. 

"Yes?" I asked him.

"Have dinner with me tomorrow." He blurted out 

"I......"

"Please" He whispered. 

"Okay." I answered him. He smiled at me then let my hand go. 

"I'll see you tomorrow." I told him. Niall nodded his head. I walked out of the room smiling to myself. I made it to my room and breathed a sigh of relief. 

" What got you all giddy?" My grandmother asked me. 

"Nothing." I simply told her then held my hand close to my chest. It was tingling from when Niall touched it.

" Well now that you are here, Violet is all yours." My grandmother handed Violet to me. 

"So you never did tell me where you are going." I reminded her. 

"Oh just visiting an old friend." I raised my eyebrow at her. 

" It's not what you think." She told me. 

"I wasn't thinking anything." I said. 

"Sure. Anyways I have to go. Don't want to be late." My grandmother gave Violet a kiss, then waved goodbye to me. Once she left I went and sat down in the rocking chair. I held Violet close to me and rocked back and forth. Violet let out a small yawn then her eyes slowly started to close. When I was sure Violet was asleep I walked over to her crib and placed her in it. I smiled at her then got ready for bed. Once I was ready I climbed into my bed then turned my light off. 

I turned on my side and closed my eyes. I tried to drift off to sleep but my mind was still racing. I got up from my bed and grabbed my robe. I decided that a walk would do me some good. I checked on Violet before I left, then walked out into the hallway. I was not really paying attention to were I was going. Some how I ended up on the roof top of the palace. I looked around the patio and found a bed swing. I walked towards the swing and ran my hands along the ropes. I looked at the swing in confusion, something about this was familiar to me. 

"Trouble sleeping?" I jumped and quickly turned around.

"Niall." I breathed out a sigh of relief. 

"What are doing out of bed?" I asked him. 

"I could ask you the same thing." He said coming closer to me. 

"I needed some fresh air." He told me. 

"Same." I whispered.

"You know this was K's favorite spot." He said walking over to the balcony.

"Is that Chris's mother?" I asked, joining him at the balcony. 

"Yeah." He smiled at me. 

"She said this was her best thinking spot. I would find her here, just passed out on the swing." He smiled at the memory. 

" Sometimes K would get me up here just so I would stop working. We would lay here all day and just relax." He sighed to himself. 

"I take it she was right?" He gave me a questionable look.

"About it being a good place to think." He smiled.

" That she was." We sat in silence. 

"You want to give it a try?" Niall asked me. 

"The swing." He clarified. I shyly nodded me head.

"Go ahead." He said gesturing towards it. I walked to the swing then sat down. 

"Now that is no way to use a swing." Niall came over and laid down pushing the bed with him. I fell on my back. The swing moving back and forth in a calming matter. 

"This is nice." I sighed in contentment. Niall pulled me towards him and wrapped his arm around my waist. 

"It's perfect." 

Narrator's POV

While Kristy and Niall thought they were the only ones awake. Two other were also up at this late hour. 

"Come in." Called the man. Rebecca walked through the door and towards the man. 

"It's done." She told him. 

"Did she take it?" The man asked. 

"Yes." 

"Does she know?" He asked. 

"No. She suspects nothing." Rebecca told the man. 

"Good. It's best if she doesn't know for the time being." Rebecca sighed to herself but nodded. 

"It's late. You should be in bed." The man told her. 

"So should you." She answered back. 

"Just finishing up some work." Rebecca nodded her head then turned towards the door. 

"Goodnight Rebecca." 

"Goodnight, your majesty."
