Chapter 6

'tbh it's been almost nine months since my last update and I've forgotten about this story. I promise i'm not stupid anymore and i guess i'll try to slow things down to a better pace.

comment and vote for the next chapter alright'

I watched carefully as the boys did there interview. Niall seemed more jittery. I could tell how excited he is by his body language. His knee bouncing more than usual. His eyes flickering all around like he's searching for the results, that are actually going through the mail. The atmosphere around the room was happy, with slight nerves.

I though to myself, what if Niall isn't Alex's father? What if i'm wrong and Niall gets upset?

All of this lays in an envelope that's probably bouncing in the back of a mail truck.

"Mama?" the little boy tugged on my sweater as I sat on the couch.

"Yeah?" He smiled widely and pointed to the giant sketchbook that lay on the bed.

"Can we draw?" I nodded and he quickly scrambled to get the things. He got the sketchbook and the pencil bucket.

He gave me the book and a pencil and I tore out a piece of paper for him. He happily took the sheet and placed it on the coffee table and started drawing random circles and lines.

I started sketching out whatever came to mind. Which ended up being a house. It wasn't just any house though, it was the house from the cover of Pierce the Veil's album, Collide With The Sky.

Pierce the Veil are one of my favorite bands. I listen to a lot of types of music, and pop punk and post hardcore happen to be a few. I listen to stuff like Of Mice & Men. All Time Low. Even some Bring Me The Horizon.

My favorite band has to be Fall Out Boy. There's something about Patrick Stumps voice that just makes me happy.

I kept drawing the house until I heard the small knock on the door.

"Come in!" I yelled knowing it was one of the boys.

I heard the door open and some shuffling around as the three boys tried to get inside all at once. Finally they all walked in and smiled at me.

It was Harry Zayn and Niall. Niall went over to Alex and knelt down talking to him about his drawing. Zayn sat down in a chair and made himself comfortable. Harry stood around and then sat on the opposite side of the couch as me.

"And what did you draw?" Niall asked as he sat down next to me.

"House thing." He smiled and took it from me.

"It's good." He showed it to Harry.

"It's really good, have you ever taken art classes?" Harry asked. I shook my head and Zayn took the drawing.

"From one artist to another, this is great." He smiled. I blushed at the compliments and looked down.

"Mommy! It's done look." Alex handed me his colored paper. I smiled and examined it.

"It's so pretty Alex, where do you want to put it?" He thought for a moment, than took it from me and handed it to Niall.

"Can he have it?" Niall beamed and Alex's words.

"Whatever you want babe." I replied.

After a few days, we had flight booked for Los Angeles, the next stop. That's where we had the letter with the results mailed too. I'm excited, but at the same time scared.

I know Niall said he'd be happy, because he truly does love Alex. But is he actually prepared for parenthood? When I had Alex I though I was, but it's been two years and i'm still adjusting to not having any me time.

"What are you thinking about?" The irish accent asked from beside me. I rolled over, the face of the very man that could be the long lost father of my son greeted me.

"Nothing." I pulled the blanket further up my body as I tried to roll away again. Niall stays the night sometimes, we don't have sex or anything though. We just talk.

"Lies, tell me." He pulled me back around to face him once more.

"I'm just worried is all." I shrugged it off.

"About what?"

"About what's in the letter." He pondered over that for a minute and finally replied.

"Do you want me to be the father?" My eyes slightly widened at his question.

"Of course, Niall i'm just worried that you don't know what happens if you are."

"What do you mean?"

"Niall being a parent is a lot more than just playing with him." He nodded for me to continue "You have to look out for them, truly look after them. Niall there is so much to being a parent. I gave up everything for Alex, I haven't had any time for myself in two years. I just don't want you to have to put your career on hold just because you met us. You've only known us for a week for gods sake!" Niall sighed, then he gently kissed my forehead.

"But with two parents around now, and four uncles I'n sure I'll be- We'll be fine."
