EcLexie | n.h (Sequel to LoveDrug)

Chapter 22

Lexie's POV:

A few months had passed since we found out the sex of the baby and I was closer and closer to the due date. And since I was closer to the due date, the family had been more protective than ever. Yesterday I didn't even get out of bed except one time when I had to use the bathroom. And Niall insisted following me there.

The extra bedroom was turned into a nursery with baby blue walls and dark wooden furniture. It was so cute and everyone had helped out with it and that made it even more special. Liam had placed a stuffed giraffe in the crib and Luke had done just the same only that it was a penguin. Luke really had a thing for them.

When I said I was close to the due date I meant that it was two weeks away. Two weeks and I would be holding a beautiful baby boy in my arms. A little Niall. I could imagine a little toddler running around screaming and giggling as Niall chased him. This was real.

I was really excited. I couldn't tell or show how excited I am because I don't know how to do it. I'm overwhelmed how everyone has been here for Niall and I and that they're excited. But even though I'm surrounded my happiness and positive thoughts I can't help but to feel a little sad. Don't get me wrong, I am so greatful for my family and all the support but I really wished that my mum and dad could be here to experience my first child. Their first grandson. Their second grandchild.

I had always been dad's little girl and Liam was always a mum's boy. Like when Liam and I were small and whenever I said something bad he would go straight to mum and ramble about it. But when bad things that happened to both of us we didn't say a word to our parents.

Life has a cruel way to drag you trough it. There will be uphills and downhills, some have more uphills and other have more downhills. Life will give you massive joy but with the joy comes the sadness. Some people never even see the sadness. Some people never see the joy. My conclusion is that life is unfair. It can drag you trough hell and when it's done and you're tired, it expects you to go out and seek happiness. It's not that easy once you've been empty.

People suck too may I say but there are those special people that find their way into your life and makes themselves comfortable. They make you feel whole and loved and gives you a reason to stay. I never imagined that I would ever let down my guard after my parents passing and a psycho ex-boyfriend but it happened. Niall happened. I remember despising him from the first moment we met. He was being his cocky self expecting to get laid. It's funny when I look back at it. The man I couldn't stand was now my boyfriend and we were expecting a child. Funny how your life turns out.

Niall made me feel again. He brought me out of the darkness and made my life worth living again. He broke down my walls and captured my heart in a way that no one had ever done and he love me. He love me for who I am. And that's all you can ever wish for from the person you love back.

"Niall! He's kicking again!" I squealed while my hands roamed my belly. It was so huge now but it was kinda practical too. I could have plates of food on it. Very useful I must say.

Niall ran into the living room in only a pair of boxers and grey sweatpants. Since he was shirtless I could see all of his tattoos that sprung around his toned stomach, chest and arms. Damn this is a nice view! His tattoo for her little sister was visible by his abdomen which makes my heart pound every time I see it. His hands touched my stomach were he could feel the baby kicking. Niall's lips broke out into a smile and giggles just like every time the baby kicks.

"It still amazes me so much." He says while moving his palms around my skin. "By the way my mum called. She told me how excited she was for the baby to arrive and that she really wanted to come and visit but Greg and Denise are on an anniversary trip so she's watching Theo. I told her she could bring him but he's having the flu so it would probably be a bad idea trying to get him on a plane." He explained.

"Is he alright?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's just a lot of buggers." Niall shrugged and I let out a laugh.

"So have you thought about baby names?" I changed the subject. I wanted to hear if he had though about what to name is first unborn son.

"I've thought about some names but I don't like them that much. Even though Calum is totally keen on naming the boy Calum." He laughed and I smiled.

"We already have a Calum. An amazing Calum so I don't think we need another one." I said and Niall agreed. Silence filled the room and Niall kept stroking my belly sometimes leaving feather kisses.

"I've though about a name but I need to know your opinion obviously." I said while playing with my fingers.

"Go ahead." Niall encouraged me.

"I think James would be a perfect name because it's both you and Liam's middle names." I suggested and looked up at my shirtless boyfriend.

"I think that would be great. James Ashton Horan sounds good to me." Niall kissed me.

"Really?! It's okay for you to take Ashton's name?" I asked seriously. I remember that Niall didn't like Ashton at first. They were friends now of coarse but it had taken my boyfriend quite sometime to understand that Ash and I were just friends.

"Babe, he's your best friend. Of coarse it's okay." He flashed one of his award winning smiles and I grabbed him by the neck and smashed our lips together.

(A/N: School starts in 5 days and I will rather kill myself than to go back. The only thing I like about school is that my friends are there. If my friends haden't been there then I wouldn't go to school. So there are 2 chapters left of this book, the epilogue and an author's note. Can't believe that we are so close to the end! I just have to tell you guys that I got a package from my internet friend from America and I love her so much.
