The Irish Lad: A One Direction Fan Fiction

Chapter 31

6 Years Later

Niall's POV

"You ready?" I asked her. She swallowed and nodded as the host, Ella, announced us.

"And now, for their first talk show interview together, Mr. and Mrs. Horan!" The audience cheered as we made our way to the seats. We hugged Ella and sat down as the cheers died down.

"So how does it feel to be married and have the same last name?" She asked.

"It's amazing, I love it!" Katie told her.

"Now, do you mind if we go throguh a few questions, and learn more about your relationship?" Katie and I both nodded. "Alright, how long have you been together?"

"Six years." I responded.

"Where did you meet?"

"In Mullingar, at my parents' house during a party." Katie told her.

"Ever broken up? There's a rumour you two had a brief split in December of 2012." She asked, and we were both silent for a moment, but Katie spoke up.

"Yes, we did have a short split in December, and for several reasons. Niall was back in London working on his album, and I was in Dublin for school. We had not been seeing each toher too often, as he had just finished the tour, and we both had a lot to figure out. It was for the best at the time."

"Yea," I added, "And because of the lifetsyle that we have, we almost had to act like an older couple, as if we were in our late twenties instead of teenagers. It was just for a few weeks, figuring out what the next step would be, and we couldn't do it. We came right back into each other's arms."

"How did you propose, Niall?"

"I actually had the boys help me out. We all sang One Thing, because that's the song that was playing when we met, and it was at a park by our houses, just a special place for the two of us. I put some candles and flowers out and asked her to spend the rest of my life with me, and lucky for me, she said yes."

"Beautiful. Now, Katie, tell me about the wedding!" Ella said.

"Oh my god! It was absolutely perfect. Everything went amazing. We had the ceremony at Westminister Abbey, ad the reception was at a large hotel. There were flowers everywhere, and all our family and friends were there. It was amazing."

"We have a clip from the wedding here." Ella said, and a video began to play. Katie was walking down the aisle with her dad. She had a huge white ballgown on, and the camera zoomed in on her. She was so happy, with a huge smile, and she looked stunning. The camera went to my face, and my jaw had fallen, before breaking into a huge smile. My eyes were filled with joy.

"Niall, what were you thinking as she came down the aisle?"

"Shit she's beautiful." The audience laughed. "Yea, I was thinking about how beautiful she looked, and just how lucky a guy I was."

"Any cold feet? A lot of guys get nerves before the wedding."

"I had nerves, but just anxious to get married. I'd been with the lass for six years; I wanted to get married. I had no second thoughts, and I knew it was the right thing. It's what I've always wanted with Katie. Always."

"Katie, tell us more about your dress."

"It's Oscar de la Renta a ballgown with an eight foot train, silk fabric and lace covering it. The back has a row of buttons, and I had a veil that was as long as my train. I couldn't have asked for a more amazing dress."

"You looked stunning. How are the other boys doing? They were all in the wedding right?" Ella asked.

"Yes," I said. "All the boys are doing amazig, they were my groomsmen alongside my brother and Katie's brothers and my mate Sean from back home."

Katie added, "Abby and Harry, as you've probably heard, are engaged, and Liam and Danielle's child just turned 3, and she's pregnant again. Louis and Eleanor are happily married and El just anounced a few weeks ago that's she pregnant. We're all really happy for them. Then, Aileen and Zayn got married a year before we did."

"Aileen was your maid of honor, right?"

"Ah, yes, we grew up together, she's like my sister, and actually, her older sister married my older brother, so our families are all very close. Eleanor, Danielle and Abby were bridesmaids, too. "

"How amazing. Well, it seems you two are very happy, and on behalf of everyone, we wish you a long and happy marriage!"

Katie's POV         15 years later

"CHARLOTTE MAURA-ANNE HORAN, GET DOWN HERE!" Niall shouted up the steps to our daughter. We just celebrated our fiteenth anniversary, and Lottie was born two years after we got married.

We also had Daniel Gregory, who was 15, born right after our first anniversary. Alena Eleanor was 8, and little Liam James was 5.

"Don't yell! We've got people over!" I yelled at NIall.

"Then why are you elling?" We both laughed.

We had Louis and Eleanor, who had three kids, Johannah, 16, Andrew,12, and Emmaline, 8. Emmaline and Alena were best friends. Liam and Danielle had James, 18, Sara, 15, and Brennan, 10. Abby and Harry had Edward, 14, Darcy,11, and Anne, 8. Aileen and Zayn had two kids with one on the way. Waliyha was 11, Christopher, 6 and Anthony Javaad was due to be born in a month.

All the kids were best friends with each other. It was like having a huge family. They were all over hour house for dinner tonight. Johannah, Lottie, Waliyha, Darcy and Sara had already retreated to the basement, listening to music and talking. Emmaline, Alena, and Anne were all upstairs. James, Edward, Andrew, and Brennan were screwing around on a video game, while Christopher and Liam played on the computer. They all felt at home here, which I loved.

We gathered them round for dinner. We all ate, catching up even though we saw each other a few days ago. Then, I brought out my signature bread pudding for dessert, loved by everyone. As they ate, Danielle spoke up.

"Katie, what's going on?"

"What do you mean?"

"You make the bread pudding when something's going on."

"Can't I make my delicious bread pudding without there being a big announcement?"

"NO!" The entire table saying in unison. I laughed and looked to Niall.

"Should we tell them all now?" I asked, and he nodded.

"Cathleen and I," NIall said. "Are having another baby!" The table erupted in cheers for us, congratulations were put all around.

"Do you know if it's a boy or girl?" Eleanor asked.

"It's a girl, who we plan on naming Elizabeth Jane."

"Aw! How beautiful!" Abby exclaimed. The boys all gave Niall a congrats handshake.

I looked around at my amazing life. I was so happy, with soon to be five kids great friends, and lots of little kids that were like fmaily to me and my kids. I had the best husband in the world, and we were so happy together.

"Maintent et pours tujours." NIall whispered i my ear.

"Now and forever." I said, giving him a kiss.

Maintent et pours tujours. Maintent et pours tujours. Maintenant et pours tujours.
