Once in a Lifetime (A Niall Horan Fanfiction)

Chapter 9

This chapter is going to be a bit different. I decided to do other POV other than just Abby and Niall, so please leave feedback letting me know what you think!

--------------------

~*Louis' POV*~

I stared at Abby. She was very thin, almost too thin to be pregnant. "Lou, you okay? Aren't you happy for us?" Niall asked. I knew he wasn't asking because he actually cared, he was asking because he felt like I wasn't. "Yeah, I was just... thinking." I said plainly. There was an awkward vibe in the room for a bit, but it passed when Liam started asking questions. "So how long have you two known?" he asked curiously. I looked at Abby's stomach again, it was nearly flat, so she couldn't have known long.

"We actually just found out." she said quietly and rested her head on Niall's shoulder, I shuddered at the sight. It was bad enough that Abby was with Niall to begin with, but now she's pregnant with his child? To be honest, I was a bit upset, Abby and Niall just didn't seem right for each other. Abby is a fragile, timid girl who deserves a guy that won't mess with her emotions. Now don't get me wrong, Niall's a great guy, but he tends to play with girls' emotions without realizing it.

He's laid-back and fun, and Abby's just too anxious for him. There's a perfect guy for Abby out there somewhere, but it isn't Niall. Eventually he'd turn up from right under her nose, he'd appear when she needed him and when she'd least expect it. She looked up at me and smiled, rubbing Niall's hand with her thumb occasionally. "So is Abby going to be here in Ireland permanently?" Harry asked from beside me. "We're gonna work on getting her a citizenship over the years." Niall said and kissed Abby's cheek.

My stomach churned, I wanted Abby to be happy, she's a great girl, but not for Niall. "That's great." Harry said and fixed himself on the couch. Niall's mom walked in quickly with large plates of food and set them on the table. "I know how pregnancy is!" she said and smiled at Abby. "Always wanting more food. I swear, you and Niall fit together like puzzle pieces because he eats the same way!" she joked. Everyone laughed, and I played along out of a sense of obligation.

Abby giggled adorably and picked up some Oreos. "Thanks." she grinned. We stayed a bit longer and I was forced to bite my tongue every time someone would tell them how perfect they were for each other or when they'd admire the other when they weren't paying attention. When we were finally able to go it was dark and Abby had already been asleep for about an hour. I sat in the backseat of the black SUV and stared out the window.

I knew she'd probably never leave Niall if he kept doing what he was doing and making her happy. I sighed to myself and looked out of the window. "Louis, you've been quiet since we got to Niall's, what's wrong?" Harry asked quietly and tapped my knee comfortingly. "Nothing. I'll tell you when we get back to the hotel." I whispered and rested my head in my hand. Harry was my best friend, I trusted him enough to tell him, and I could count on the fact that he wouldn't say anything.

We got to the hotel and all separated into our rooms, except for Harry who snuck into mine. "Okay, so what's up, Lou? We all know you were thinking about something." he asked and looked at me with the same expression he always seemed to have when it was something serious. I sighed to myself, I may as well just come out and say it. "Harry, I just don't think Abby and Niall are right for each other." I said as straightforward as I could. Harry looked up at me slowly.

"Ya know Lou, it's not really our place to-" he had no clue what he was talking about. "I'm the one for her, not Niall." I snapped impatiently. His eyes widened and he seemed more alive than he was a few minutes ago. "What? Louis you can't like Abby, that's like... backstabbing Niall!" he yelled and stood from the bed. I shushed him and looked angrily at him. Maybe he didn't understand, it's impossible to stop liking Abby! She's calm, intelligent, beautiful, and she just seemed perfect.
