Its not easy (sequel to Why Not?)

**4 YEARS LATER**

**Grace H POV**

Courtney was 9 now as were the twins. I was now 30 years old and Niall was 31 years old. The tours were still going on, but not as much.... I knew they were gonna stop soon.

I was worried they would stop touring and money for needs would stop coming in.

Niall would still be famous, but less work means less money.

I'm not a gold digger! I just needed him to provide for the kids. Clothes, food, medical, mortgage, stuff like that.

The kids were smarter and used some bigger words and they were getting cuter and cuter!

Brent was definitely going to be a fine lad. Courtney and Kenzie were best friends and I was extremely happy! I always wanted Grace and I's kids to be best friends like us.

I was sitting on the couch when Niall came in in complete shock. "Niall? Are you okay?" I jumped up and ran to him hugging him tightly.

He sobbed into my neck. He never sobbed like this. Never.

"Did something die?" I asked with concern. He wiped his eyes and nodded.

"My dream died." He sobbed as I pulled him into me for another hug. He cried and cried until I took him to the couch.

"Baby, please stop crying. Please tell me what's wrong." He slowly stopped crying and looked me into the eyes. He leaned in and kissed me shortly before telling me.

"It's all over. Simon called me. We are all married, we all have kids and all of us can't tour anymore.... One Direction is over." My eyes widened and I cried with him.

I didn't tell you? Louis and Eleanor had a now 8 year old boy named, Jake William Tomlinson. Zayn and Perrie had a 8 year old girl named, Sarah Marie Malik. And lastly, Liam married Danielle, yay!

They had a 9 year old boy named, Chris Alexander Payne. Apparently, Liam hooked up with dani and never told us. One thing led to another, she got pregnant with Chris around the same time as me with Courtney.

Management knew and said for them to wait to let us know about Chris. We found out about him last year!

I returned my thoughts to a sobbing Niall. I held him and pulled away. I remembered in college I took veterinarian school with Grace.

I went to my computer and left Niall sobbing on the couch. I looked up leases and found one.

A perfect building. It had everything. I sent an email to builders and plumbers. I wanted the Vet place I was soon to own (since I had a degree) to have a groomers, kennel, adoption center, and a shopping center to buy products.

I finished sending emails and doing calculations when I realized the sobbing stopped and Niall was asleep on the couch.

I sighed thinking about how upset he was.

One Direction was over.
