This is not the end~ Fourth book in PLMI series

I'm here- 42

A/n- And then I knew it was bad when I woke up in the mornings and all I looked forward to was going back to bed.....

-Niall's POV-
I saw Liam's car pull up and I smiled as Liam and Britt got out, both running to me. I put a finger to my lips and pointed at my girlfriend, who was sleeping in my lap quietly, her quiet breathing in my ear.
"Hey Nialler!" Liam whispered, side hugging me on the side that Mackenzie wasn't on. I nodded and he gave me a hand up as I carried a sleeping Mackenzie through the door and into our room, laying her in bed. She curled up into a ball and smiled in her sleep. I chuckled and leaned over to plant a short kiss on her lips.
​​​​​​ "Love you baby. Sweet dreams." I whispered as I pulled away and pulled the covers up over her. Jesse jumped on the bed and quickly wiggled underneath her arms, making me chuckle. I told you....that dog has the moves. I walked our of our bedroom and shut the door quietly behind me, taking once last glance at my sleeping beauty before I shut the door. I immediately was tackled by Britt and Liam, hugging me as soon as I shut the door.
"Hey!!" I exclaimed, finally able to talk without waking anyone up. They both laughed and we all sat down on the couch.
"So...fill us in. First....how have you been?" Liam asked, touching my shoulder in a comforting gesture. I sighed and looked up at him. A lot has gone on since they were gone. Mackenzie told me about her.......secret. Alexa and Zayn kissed. Harry and Kendall had a fight. Now I have absolutely no idea what's going on.
"I'm good. Confused, but good." I replied, running a hand through my hair and rolling my eyes. Liam frowned at me, trying to figure something out.
"How's Louis...and Alexa?" Britt asked, her voice quiet and shy.
"I honestly don' know. And...I've been dealin with me own problems...I didn' really wan teh get in the middle of it." I admitted as I glanced back at the door to me and Mackenzie's bedroom. I trusted her. I really did. But sometimes...I couldn't help but wonder what was going on behind closed doors when I think she's sleeping. Those marks don't just...appear on her skin. She puts them there. And....it hurts me that she still doesn't come to me. She thinks that she can handle it on her own, but she can't. It's too much for her.
"Niallll...." Liam waved his hand in front of my face, snapping me out of my daze.
"Wha....huh..?" I stammered, looking back to them.
"We missed a lot. Huh?" Britt asked and I nodded, yawning tiredly.
"Yeh....so...um....how was the honeymoon?" I asked. Britt smiled, blushing as she looked down at her hands. Liam also smiled, but looked proud as he grabbed her hand with his, squeezing it.
​​​​​​ "It was amazing." Liam said, a glint in his eyes as he looked at Britt. I smirked at them both and laughed suddenly, my loud laughter filling the room. Britt's eyes widened and she looked at me and smiled, her face full of confusion.
"What?!" She asked, sounding defensive and embarrassed.
"So....I'm detecting a blush.....from the girl......a proud look from the boy....and definitely....an inside joke. I'm thinking.....yeh two finally had sex for the firs time and you finally managed to get Britt pregnant." I finished, proud of myself for guessing that. Wow. I should be a detective.
Britt's eyes widened and her blush deepened, making her retreat to hide her face in Liam's shoulder. Liam's eyes were wide as well as he looked at me with astonishment.
"How in the heck did you guess that?" Liam asked, sounding baffled.
"I dunno. Is it true?" I challenged. Liam's face turned red suddenly and he shook his head, narrowing his eyes.
"You are seriously stalking me." He said, shoving my shoulder. Britt was still hiding in Liam's shoulder, not meeting anyone's eyes. I'm pretty sure her face was literally on fire.
"One of the advantages of bein a leprechaun." I said, winking. He shook his head slowly and Britt looked up, holding her hands over her cheeks.
"So....is it true then..?" I asked, wanting a clear answer.
"Yes......" Liam said, sounding pleased. I chuckled and shook my head, pulling them both in for a quick hug. I kissed Britt's cheek and patted Liam on the back.
"Congratulations. I call dibs on being the uncle!!" I practically yelled. Liam laughed and Britt giggled. But...I still felt a pang of jealousy, deep down in my heart. That will never be me and Kenzi. We probably won't have children. She's unable to...because of Trey. It hurts me to see Liam and Britt.....her pregnant...when I know that we probably won't ever have children. And I so did want children. I did. It would be...wonderful.....but...that probably won't happen.
I shook my head, trying to pull my mind away from these thoughts. They...aren't right....they aren't. I love Mackenzie. It shouldn't be about having children.....it should be about if I love her or not. Because I do. And I don't love her any less. I need to stop dwelling on this.....
I heard the door to our room open and Mackenzie stepped out again, looking tired, but as if she couldn't fall asleep still.
"Niall....can you come lay with me....? I can't sleep without you there..." Mackenzie mumbled, her voice raspy and tired. Sounding like it does when she can't sleep. She didn't even seem to notice that Britt and Liam were home, running a hand through her hair as she kept her eyes closed, yawning.
​​​​​​ "Baby...Britt and Liam are home. C'mere..." I said quietly. Her eyes shot open and she looked up tiredly to see Britt and Liam. She smiled and then blushed at the fact that she was wearing only my long t shirt, leaving her legs bare.
"Hey." Mackenzie said quietly, letting her gaze slip to the floor as Britt got up and hugged her tightly to her, whispering in her ear.
