One Kiss (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 40

Carlie's pov

"Come here, baby " Harry squatted to the floor with his arms open wide as a little girl with chocolaty brown curls ran to him. He scooped her up and held her close , she rested her head on his shoulder as he hummed a soft tune to her.. The little girl dangled her feet at his sides and he spun her around, causing one of her bunny slippers to slip off. She giggled loudly as he ran across the room, spinning her around. "Shh...we don't want to wake up mummy. " He whispered and sat her down on the floor. Her hands slid up to play with his messy curls, the same as hers. "What do you say, we go make some breakfast and surprise, mummy?" he asked her.

"Yay! " He brought her back in his arms and held her body to his chest and her head rested on his shoulder.

"I love you, sweetheart " He kissed her head.

"I love you too, daddy. "

I opened my eyes, suddenly. Did she say daddy? Was that my little girl? I've had dreams with Harry and my daughter, but none where she's ever called him daddy. I'm almost sad that my dream ended, I wanted to see them more. They were beautiful together, Harry and my little girl. I guess it just scared me that she not only called him daddy, but that she also said I love you. I'm not even sure if I love Harry yet, sure I really like him, but it's been years since I actually loved another man. I was 15 and he was 17. He told me he loved me and I was dumb enough to believe him, I truly thought he loved me. He was everything to me, the perfect boyfriend. Until one night when he tried to pressure me into having sex with. I told him I wasn't ready and he said he understood, boy was I wrong. About a week later, he was caught fucking a girl in the boys locker room after one of the football games. She must've been a real slut to do it in the boys locker room. When I found out, I was heartbroken and never talked to him again. That's how it all started, the rebellion, the drugs, the drinking, sleeping around, and all that got me here. Pregnant and never knowing what my tomorrow's going to be like. That's why I'm afraid to love like that, there's also the fear that Harry still hates me. And then there's that other part of my head that says to trust him.

Well, might as well get up. I let my bare feet hit the floor and stretched my arms. I pulled to part of my shirt that lifted to the middle of my bump back down and straightened the legs of my gray sweats. I made my way down the stairs to the kitchen to find something to eat. I reached the cabinet and found the bread and decided to make some toast.

I woken by Jessica jumping out of the bed and running to the toilet with her hand covering her mouth. She was already through the door before I could even sit up. I got out of bed and followed her to see her the same way I found her last night. I grabbed a hair tie from the counter and knelt down beside her. From touching her shoulders to pull her hair out of her face I could feel how shaky she was. I tied her hair back and pulled a loose strand behind her ear, I rubbed her back as she continued to empty the little remains of her stomach. It made me want to cry, seeing her like this, so frail and weak. It scared me almost. "I-I think th-that's it " she said, her voice cracking. "I'll get out of here s-so you can get ready for work. "

"Nu-uh, I'm not leaving you while you're sick " I helped her stand up.

"No, Niall, you have the fight coming up in a few weeks. You need to practice " She said, walking back to the bedroom.

"But- " She turned around and grabbed my shoulders.

"I'll be fine " she smiled weakly.

"Are you sure? " I cupped her face and she smiled.

"Yes, I'm sure. Go to work, Carlie will be here with me. "

"Fine, but if anything happens, call me, okay? "

"okay. " I kissed her head and went to take a shower. She laid back down on the bed and cuddled user the duvet and fell asleep.

I stepped out of the shower and dried my hair with the towel before I wrapped it around my waist and walked out to get my clothes. Jess was still laying in the bed asleep. I dropped my towel and searched for a pair of boxers, I found my black Calvin Klein's and slipped them on. I turned around to see Jess watching me with a cute grin on her face. "Enjoy the show, love?" She giggled and hid her face in the pillow. I continued to get dressed, putting on some basketball shorts and a white T-shirt. "I'm gonna go, babe. " I leaned down and kissed her cheek before I left. I got downstairs and stopped in the kitchen to get a water bottle, Carlie was sitting at the bar.

"Hey, how's Jess? "

"She's still pretty sick so she may just stay in bed all day " She nodded and continued eating her toast. "See ya later. " I waved as I walked out of the kitchen.

"Bye! " She yelled as I walked out of the house.

After sleeping a while longer I finally decided to get up and go downstairs. I felt a little stronger, but I was still a bit dizzy. Carlie was sitting on the couch watching I Love Lucy reruns. "I love I love Lucy! " I said as I sat down on the couch opposite her.

"Hey, how are you feeling? "

"A little better. How long have I been asleep? "

"A few hours, it's around 2 I think. "

"Wow, I've been asleep for a long time. I still feel like shit though " I laid back on the couch and watched the tv.

"Well, if you still feel this way tomorrow, I think you should go see a doctor "

"Ehh, but I hate doctors. They never know what they're doing anyway " I frowned, I've felt that way about doctors ever since Dad died.

"I'm sorry, Jess, but you should still go. I think you should go ahead and call to make an appointment, just to be safe. " She gave me a worried look. She knew how I felt about doctors.

"I'll do it later. I wanna watch Lucy right now. " We both laughed and continued to watch the tv, laughing along with the show.

***

Niall should be home any minute now. I called the doctor and set up an appointment, surprisingly he had an opening in a few days -the 18th- It made Carlie feel better that I made an appointment, however, as for me, I was dreading it. All doctors do is tell you what's wrong with you or what your doing wrong. That whatever's wrong with you or whatever happened is your fault. Most people think my evaluation for doctors is ridiculous, but I have legitimate reasons, but not many people know why, just mom and Carlie. I've never told Niall, I've never really felt the need to. Carlie and I were back on the couch after we ate supper, I couldn't even finish my pasta because half way through, I felt sick again and had to run to the bathroom. I Love Lucy was still on so we decided to watch it. I heard the door open and saw Niall coning through the door. "Hey, girls. Ooo! I Love Lucy! " He came over and sat beside me and I leaned over and cuddled into his chest. "How are you feeling? " He asked, playing with my hair.

"I'm fine as long as I'm not moving "

"Have you taken any medicine? "

"No, but Carlie made me call the doctor, I gotta go the 18th" I frowned

"Good " He kissed my forehead. We stayed on the couch the rest of the night watching episode after episode of   I Love Lucy until we all eventually fell asleep.
