Chapter 16
*Niall's P.O.V.*
It was late at night, and I had randomly awoken. I yawned and at up. My hotel room was dark and silent. The only thing lighting up the room was my laptop screen. I smiled when I saw her peaceful sleeping body. That's when I saw a shadow in the doorway of Nicole's room.
I squinted and looked at the screen. I looked and saw what looked like the shadow of a man. Suddenly, I saw a shoe step out behind the shadow, causing the shadow to move forward. My eyes widened when I saw a man walk out.
"Nicole!" I yelled, causing Nicole to immediately wake up. She shot up and looked at the screen, scared out of her mind. Nicole looked at me, also frightened, "W-What is it?" She asked, nervously. I lifted up his hand, pointing at the man in the doorway with a shaking finger, "T-There's a man in the doorway!" I cried. Right as Nicole turned to look at him, he walked out of the doorway.
"Niall, what's your problem?" Nicole asked angrily, "There isn't anyone here! Is this some cruel joke that you're playing on me? I'm sick of it! It's scaring me! There's no one here, so just stop with the dumb joke, okay?"
"Nicole, I swear to God, there's someone in the house!" I cried, "I've seen them a couple times! Just go look around! Make sure the kids are okay!"
Nicole groaned and pulled herself out of bed, "Fine, whatever," she mumbled as she walked out of her room. I saw the hall light turn on as she walked around the upstairs floor. Then, he came back.
I saw the man walk in, and he looked around her room. He turned to face the computer screen and smirked. Nicole's room was dark, so I couldn't tell who he was. I struggled to find something to say, "W-Who are you? W-What do you want?"
"Your wife," his deep, raspy voice whispered before walking back out of the room. I was scared out of my mind. My face was pale, as I stared at the screen. I was breathing heavily, trying to calm myself down.
Within another minute, Nicole walked back into the room, "N-Nicole, I swear that I saw him again... he was in the room!" I cried. Nicole frowned, "Niall, I think you're just tired. Just get some sleep."
"Nicole, I don't want you to get hurt!" I cried.
"Niall, I'll be fine. All the doors are locked. Just go to sleep. I'm exhausted. Good night; love you," she said, before crawling under the covers once again. I sighed, knowing that there was no way I could get her to believe me "Good night, babe. Love you, too, Nicole."
I hope that everything will be fine. Maybe my mind really is playing tricks on me. It's been a long day, I'll just get some sleep. I crawled under the covers and fell back asleep.

*Nicole's P.O.V.*
Another month and a half has passed. Only another half of a month until Niall and the boys come home. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm also kind of nervous about telling him that I'm pregnant. Thankfully, he hasn't noticed anything.
"Nicole, I swear there's someone in the house!" Niall cried, for the millionth time. I groaned, "Niall, there's no one in here, okay? Stop saying that, it's starting to freak me out, okay?"
"Nicole, why the hell won't you believe me?" Niall angrily asked. I threw my arms up in the air, annoyed, "Isn't it obvious, Niall? There isn't anyone here! I've searched the house like three times! If there is someone here, wouldn't they have already hurt me by now? It's been over a month, Niall! Just let it go, okay?"
"Whatever Nicole..." Niall mumbled, "I'll talk to you later, bye." He ended the call, before I could even say bye to him. He didn't even tell me that he loved me. How could he forget to say that to me...?
