Have Faith ((Niall Horan-AU)) (Editing)

Chapter 8.

*On the last chapter of Have Faith*

Another tear rolled down his face but I wiped it before it could get any further. "Kylie I can't do this." 

"Do what?" Could he just hurry up and tell me what the hell is going on!

"I can't be a father." 

What? A father? What the fuck was he talking about? 

"What are you talking about Niall? Why would you be a father?" 

"Kiana's pregnant." 

Holy shit, now I understood why Kiana was acting the way she was this morning. She's pregnant and Niall's the dad. 

Well, there goes my Monday spirit. 

-------------

"Kiana's p-pregnant?" The words left my mouth in complete shock. Niall was going to be a dad? "Are you sure?"

He nodded once. "Yeah, she just fucking told me. I can't do this Kylie, being a dad isn't for me, what am I supposed to do?"

"You're going to man up and be there for your child." I knew he needed me right now, I couldn't just be here and mope with him. I sent Caiden a quick text letting him know we would have to postpone our lunch. "Are you sure the baby is yours?" 

"Yeah, she told me she hasn't had sex with anyone else in months except for me." His head was laying in his hands and his entire body was shaking. "Fuck."

"But didn't you guys use protection like every time?"

"Kylie, protection doesn't always work, something must've happened apparently. This is all so crazy, we're both still in school, how are we going to be parents? I can't even function right now, how can a child depend on me with their life? I just don't know what to do." He was running both of his hands through his hair continuously, legs bouncing up and down. 

"Look Niall, I have no idea what you're going through right now, I can't even imagine what it would feel like to know that you're going to be a parent at this age. But you just need to know that I will be here for you every step of the way, no matter what. You have to pull through and be strong for your own child. You also need to be there for Kiana, I know that may be far from what you want to do but she is carrying your child, she is your responsibilty now and she needs you more than ever now."

"Who would've thought Niall Horan would get a girl knocked up in college?" He laughed quietly to himself but made me laugh along with him. My hands grabbed his right one and squeezed gently.

"Hey, look at me..." We made eye contact, a glistening still present in his eyes. "You are going to be fine, you will be a great father and your child needs you, you need to be there and be the greatest dad you can be."

"I don't even know what being a great dad consists of? I never knew my dad, how am I supposed to give my child a great life if I don't even know how to do that in the first place!" His sadness turned into anxiety now.

"Niall, stop, breathe, you still have months to go before all of this goes down, your child won't be here for another 7 months at least, and in that time you need to just take it one step at a time and once that little boy or girl is born, you'll know what it takes to be a great father." I gave him a sympathetic smile before squeezing his hand gently.

"We can go get ice cream if you want? Get your mind off of things maybe?" I offered, not knowing what else to say to break the silence. "Or just go to your place and hang out? I don't know whatever you want is fine with me."
