Magic (Liam Payne Fanfic)

Chapter Seven.

Today was Arielle's doctor's appointment for her first ultrasound and check.

It had been nearly a month since we found out, and the last month had been hell on wheels dealing with management about it. We had to keep it quiet until she was 5 months pregnant and the chance of miscarriage was nearly gone.

Liam and I laid in bed as we waited for Arielle and Niall to get back from the doctor's appointment.

He sighed and I looked over at him, holding the sheet to my chest as I turned towards him.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Is it weird that..." he stopped and sighed again.

"Is it weird that what?"

"Is it weird that I'm kind of jealous of Arielle and Niall?"

I looked at him, confused, "Honestly?"

"Yeah, I mean, I've always wanted to be a dad. And I know that it's not the right time, but it doesn't stop me from feeling a bit jealous of them."

"Well... yeah it's a little weird, but I suppose it's normal."

"Do you feel jealous?"

"Some times. But then I think about how hard it's going to be on them, with you boys going on tour and not always being able to be around. It's going to be really hard on her, a lot harder than I think that they've realized. Arielle and I are so new at this whole thing. We've just begun this whole situation 2 months ago, and you boys have been here the whole time. You'll be going on tour in 2 months, starting tour rehearsals next month, and you'll be gone until October. She'll be 8 months pregnant by then and Niall will have, very unfortunately, missed a lot of her pregnancy. I believe that they can pull through it and be stronger than ever and be amazing parents. But not without a lot of work. And what we need to do right now, Liam, is not jump into the same boat as them, but support them and learn from them, because in more ways than one Arielle is a much stronger woman than I am, and I'll be able to learn a lot from her through this. Then when the time is right, you can have your little Liam's running around."

He smiled at the last sentence and kissed me.

"You're amazing babe."

"Psh, nah," I smiled.

"Psh, yah," he said, faking an American accent, making me throw my head back with laughter.

"That was adorable!"

"Not as adorable as your sad attempts at British accents."

"Rude!" I said as he flipped me on my back and hovered over me.

"We're home!" Arielle called out, causing me to push Liam off of me and jump out of bed, pulling on Liam's shirt and sweat pants before I ran downstairs, having to hold up his sweatpants.

"Hey now!" Liam said, "Am I just supposed to come down there naked?"

"Just put on her yoga pants!" Arielle said.

"No!" he said.

"Then no itty bitty baby pictures for you!" Niall said.

He groaned loudly and emerged a moment later in my yoga pants, causing us all to bend over and clunch our stomachs with laughter.

"This isn't funny," he said, glaring at me.

"Hold on, turn around," I said and he sighed and turned around.

"Oh my God he has a nicer butt than I do!" Arielle yelled.

I squeezed his butt, "He really does have a nice butt."

He turned back around and kissed my temple.

"So, let's see them," I said and she pulled some ultrasound photos out of her purse and handed them to me.

"Aww oh my God baby Horan," I said, sticking my lower lip out as we looked at the photos.

"Yup, kind of crazy isn't it?" Niall asked.

"Yeah but it's amazing too," I said, "I'm so happy for you guys."

"Thank you," Niall smiled.

"Can you give me my pants back now? These are uncomfortable," Liam whined.

"Fine," I sighed and walked up the stairs.

We changed then came back downstairs.

"So how'd your dad take it?" Arielle asked me.

"He was kind of disappointed, but at the same time he was happy I was calling to say you're pregnant and not that I'm pregnant."

"I guess that's understandable," she laughed.

We sat on the couch.

"Do you remember the first time we talked about moving to London?" Arielle looked over at me.

I nodded, "We were 16 years old, it was in Mrs. Stratton's biology class, 3rd period, we were eating Corn Nuts and not paying attention and complaining about how much we hated it in Oregon and how we wanted to move away to some other place."

"And you said you've always wanted to live in London," Arielle said, "Why is that?"

I shrugged, "I'm not sure, I've always just had a good feeling about London I suppose."

"Well, you were right," Liam said, putting his arm around my shoulders and pulling me against him, making me smile.

"Thank you Sam," Niall said.

"For what?" I asked as I leaned against Liam and interwined my fingers with his.

"If it weren't for you working so hard to make sure you two could come to London, none of this would've happened, and we wouldn't be as happy as we are with you two," he said.

I stuck my lower lip out as he pulled Arielle close to him.

"Aww Niall you're so sweet," I said.

And in that moment, everything was good.
