Where Dreams Come True

Chapter 5

Three months later - I've only talked to Harry a handful of times as well as Anne. Gemma I've talked to more regulary, at least once a week and Benjamin and Sage at least facetime once a week themselves. I'm at least thankful that Sage is still able to talk to his friend.

Currently I'm on my way home from work to pick Sage up from Liam and Niall's flat. Ni watches him for me while I work. Pulling into their parking lot, I turn my car off and climb out and walk up to their front door.

Knocking on the door before walking in without waiting for a response. "Nialler, Sage, I'm here," I say loud enough for them to hear me.

"Living room, mate!" Niall hollers back. Walking into the living room I find Niall and Sage sitting on the floor playing with some of Sage's toys that I've left here.

"Hi mate, hi baby boy," I greet the two of them with a smile as I join them on the floor.

"Papa!" Sage squeals as he climbs onto my lap hugging me tightly. Returning his hug as I whisper into his hair a hello.

"Having fun with Uncle Niall?" I ask him as he climbs back onto the floor where he was playing.

Sage nods excitidly as he continues to build his lego building. Turning to Naill asking quietly, "How was he today?" Concerned because Sage and I spent some much time together over the last eight days and I was worried that he was going to be fussy for Niall.

"He was fine, mate, promise," Niall says quietly with a smile.

Nodding I return his smile as we return to playing with Sage before Liam returns home from work. We usually have dinner with them on Friday nights for pizza nights, hence why where hanging out until Liam arrives home.

"Oh, we have a surprise for you when Liam arrives home," Niall teases knowing he won't tell me until Liam is home, which be for another half an hour.

'Your mean, Nailler, you know this right?" I ask teasingly. He just nods with a satisfied hum in reply along with a shit eating smirk. Just then my phone pings from my back pocket. Pulling it out I notice I have a text from Anne.

'Hey Louis, I was wondering if tomorrow, I could meet with you and Sage? Say at a resturant for lunch?'

Smiling as I read her text, I glance at Sage, trying to make sure that he and I don't have anything to do at that time torrow. Replying to Anne, I type, 'That sounds wonderful. Name the time and place and we'll be there.'

She quickly replies with, 'Perfect! Noon at the cafe next to the bookstore.' Smiling I send back a quick reply of that we would meet her there and that we were looking forward to seeing her there.

"Who are you texting, Lou?" Naill asks as we stand to start prepairing to make the homemade pizzas.

"Anne," I answer softly not wanting Sage to overhear and bounce off the wall until we leave to meet her tomorrow.

"Meeting up with her?" he asks just as equally quiet.

I nod with a hum. "Yes, tomrrow for lunch." Twenty minutes later Liam arrives at the flat, greeting us as he enters the kitchen. Sage greets his uncle after his other uncle greeted him first and then he and I exchange pleasantries.

Turning to Niall with a questioning look, causing him to smirk at me as Liam walks up behind Niall, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend's waist. "So, you're going to be an uncle in seven months, the baby is due around Halloween."

My jaw drops in surprise and then I hug the two of them together, "Congrats! I'm so excited for you two!"

Turning to Sage I tell him happily, "Sagie, you're going to have a babt cousin around the time we go trick-or-treating." Sage looks at me confused, so I explain that the baby is in Uncle Niall's tummy. Sage and I spend the next three hours with Liam and Niall, making dinner, eating, and hanging out together. I can't even begin to explain my excitment for my two best mates.
