Niall's POV

I laugh and run off the stage with the boys. That's the third show done and now we are moving state. We are going to Texas next and I can't wait. It's one of my favourite states. I'm having so much fun but can't help but wonder how Kacey is doing. We haven't spoken today so I might call her when we get back to the hotel.

"That was great lads" Louis says, high fiving us all.

We are all covered in sweat and are exhausted from running and jumping around the stage. It's great fun thought and I'm so pleased to call this my job.

"I bugsy the shower first!" Harry shouts, racing off.

"Second" I shout, running after him

I hear a third and fourth and then a sulking Liam walking behind us. He obviously got last, Ha! You snooze you loose.

I arrive into my dressing room and Harry goes into the shower. I decide now is my chance to call Kacey.

I dial the familiar number and it rings a few times but a different voice answers. It should only be about 9pm over there.

"Hello?" Someone whispers

"Perrie?" I furrow my eyebrows

"Oh Niall, Kacey is sleeping right now" She whispers again

"Why are you whispering?"

"I've got to go Niall, I'll get Kacey to call you tomorrow" She rushes before hanging up.

It's like she didn't want to talk to me, but why? Is she hiding something? Why was she whispering? Has something happened to Kacey?

A million thoughts run through my head but they quickly disappear when Harry comes out of the bathroom and I race in before everyone else.

Kacey's POV

I wake and rub my eyes, forgetting where I was for a moment.

I look to my right and notice a sleeping Perrie next to me. I sigh, today is the day. I look at my phone on the bedside cabinet and notice it is only 8am.

Too early.

I sit up and compose myself. This needs to be done. I have to tell him. It's not something I can run away from like I usually do.

I shake Perrie awake and her face falls when she sees tears forming in my eyes.

"I'm sorry Kacey, it has to be done" she soothes

I nod, understanding her. This is just going to be difficult. How will he react? Will be be angry? Sad? Happy? Will he cry? Will he be motionless? I have no idea what to expect.

I unlock my phone and take a deep breath. I can't do it over a call, I need to see his face and what he really thinks.

It's nothing I can do through a phone call anyway. I open a new text message to Niall and begin to type.

•Niall x•

"We need to talk. Skype me at 5"

I lock my phone and sit it back on the cabinet. I just hope it all goes smoothly.

I close my eyes and before I know it, I'm asleep again. Pregnancy really does take it out of you.

••••••••••••••••••

I wake up with someone shaking me. I rub my eyes and notice Perrie is waking me up.

"What?" I groan

"Niall is skyping you! It's 5pm!" She exclaims

Shit! Oh god. No. I can't do this.

I start to panic but Perrie makes me come to my senses and before I know it, I've accepted the call.

"Hey babe" He greets.

He is happy and I'm not. I'm probably going to ruin his mood now. Oh god.

"Hi" I try my best at a smile but fail miserably.

"What's wrong? Has something happened? Oh god your in the hospital , what happened? Are you okay?" He starts panicking madly.

I chuckle slightly, very slightly, "Niall I'm okay, just a little sick" I start, "I have to tell you something though"

Worry flashes across his face, "what is it?"

"Niall, I got sick yesterday. I thought it was my cancer but it's not. They ran tests" I say

"And?" He pushes

"I'm pregnant Niall"

He stares, motionless. What?

"Niall?" I ask

He takes a deep breath and tears form in his eyes.

Before I know it, he has ended the call without saying a word.
