Truth or Dare

Chapter 23~ I Cant Believe...~

~~~~~~~A few weeks later~~~~~~~

After a few weeks, due to Madeline's surgeries, they finally let her go home. Which is a good thing because I've stayed by her side the entire time and I'm tired of hospital food.

At first she needed a little help getting up because of the bruises,stitches, and other wounds but then she walked to the car by herself.

I carried the baby to the car and had some difficulties putting the car seat in.

"Uhmm babe?" I said motioning to the car seat. After a few minutes we both figured it out and got in the car. I've never seen Madeline so happy to be going home.

After starting the car we looked into each others eyes and she smiled at me. "I've missed that beautiful smile of yours." I said as she started blushing.

I kissed her lips and I looked at the baby girl that we've both been blessed with. She's sound asleep.

I intwine my hands with Madeline's and drove away from the parking lot. By the time we got to my house it was very late out, probably around 11:20.

Madeline and Peyton were both asleep, it was really quiet. When the radio shut off it awoke Madeline. She rubbed her eyes and looked around. She knew we were home.

~Madeline's POV~

It was awesome to be in my normal clothes again instead of that hospital gown. Niall carried Peyton everywhere we went because he was scared that I would hurt myself.

I still can't believe I've found love for the first time in my life. Sure, I have great friends that love me but right when I got into my sister's car until I got back to school the next day, I felt worthless. As if I was never going to be good enough for anyone.

But now I think I have found my purpose in life.

When we walked in Niall's mom was crying. Niall set the baby down on the ground and rushed to sit by his mom. "What's wrong." I asked while Niall hugged his mom. I grabbed the baby and began to rock her to make her fall asleep, I was worried about Niall's mom.

"Niall, I've been meaning to tell you. But I haven't and I really just didn't want to make you upset." She said hastily trying to stall from the subject. "Mom?!?!? Tell me please!!!!" Niall started to cry. Unlike me he was extremely close to his mother. She, and his brother was all he had left besides me and Peyton.

"Niall...honey." She gulped forcing him to look at her. She wiped away his tears and he sighed. "Niall, I've had.....cancer.....since you were ten." She said in between sobs. Niall and I looked completely and utterly shocked. "And, the doctor said I have a week before it takes over my entire body and I." She said sighing. "Before what?" I asked feeling as if I would regret asking.

"And I die." She continued. Both me and Niall started crying. Sure, I didn't know her for long but still, she was the closest thing I've ever had as a mom figure. "No your going to be just fine!!!" Niall demanded. Me and his mom looked at him, he was angry. But I can understand that, it's hard to loose someone.

"Niall, you three need sleep now." His mom said before he got to say anything else. She kissed me and the baby's forehead and then Niall's. "Everything WILL be okay sweetheart. I love you. Now go get some rest." She said kindly before walking to her room.

Once she left the room I got up to go to the room and Niall wasn't moving. "I want to stay up a little while longer." He said. So I sat on the couch with him and we all ended up laying down and falling asleep together on that tiny couch.

At about 1:30 his mom had come to check on us. I opened my eyes and she took the baby. There was barely room for me and Niall on this couch, and she wants time with her.
