*Niall’s POV*
“So do you want to go tell my mom then? Since I’m here now?” I asked after a few moments of silence.
“I don’t think I can tell anyone just yet Ni.” She sighed.
“Well you’re going to have to tell people at some point.”
“Who says,” she whispered.
I knew she didn’t really mean it and that she just wanted to avoid it for a bit longer but I was tired from traveling and I wasn’t thinking clearly. “Well you’re going to have to tell them eventually. My mum knows you were pregnant and so do the boys. They’re going to notice when you don’t have a baby in nine months.”
I realized too late that I shouldn’t have snapped like that as her head snapped up and she looked at me in shock, hurt evident in her eyes. She was only frozen for a moment before she angrily stormed off to the bathroom punctuating her actions by slamming the door. I let out a long sigh realizing how badly I had screwed up. To make matters worse my mum came in.
“Is everything alright dear? I heard a loud bang.” She asked concerned.
“Everything is fine mum. I just said something I shouldn’t have and it struck a nerve.” I replied motioning to the bathroom door.
“Ah. I see. Well I’ll just go make dinner and leave you two to work things out.”
I took a deep breath as I walked over to the bathroom door and knocked softly. “Babe, I’m sorry can you open up?”
“Are you going to continue being a jackass?” she yelled through the door.
“Yes,” I tried to joke.
“Then no!”
“Babe come on I was just kidding. I’m really sorry I shouldn’t have snapped like that. Please just open the door.” There were a few moments of silence before I tried again. “I promise I won’t be a jackass.”
There was some shuffling around before I heard the click of the lock and the door swung open. I didn’t see her from my vantage point so I walked in and saw her sitting on the ground next to the doorframe. It was clear she had been crying, which only made me feel a thousand times worse.
“I’m so sorry.”
“It’s fine I’m just overreacting.”
“Let’s just go eat dinner with my mum and leave this to deal with later.”
“Thanks Ni.”
*Kat’s POV*
Maura made dinner for us and no matter how much we tried to help she did nothing but shoo us into the living room yelling at us to spend time together. So we sat on the couch in the living room cuddled into each other, neither one of us saying anything, both just enjoying finally being with each other.
“I should probably tell her shouldn’t I?” I asked Niall, referring to the miscarriage.
“You don’t have to if you don’t want to. I shouldn’t have pushed you like that.”
“No it’s fine. I have to face this eventually right? Might as well start by telling your mom.”
“Tell me what?” Maura asked as she walked into the living room catching the end of our conversation.
“Is dinner ready?” Niall asked completely forgetting about our conversation, now focused entirely on food.
“It will be when the two of you tell me whatever it is that you have to tell me.”
