I Won't Give Up On Us (Sequel to Don't Wanna Be Without You)

Chapter 9: Maura

BETH'S POV

 I heard a knock on the door. I was about to stand up when Niall put his hand on my arm,  "No I've got it." he said, getting up and walking to the door. He opened it, "Mum!" he said happily, giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek, "What are you doing here?"

"Well I've missed you and I knew you couldn't come out to see me, so I flew out here to you." she said, hugging me again.

"Come in." Niall said, stepping aside. She walked into the flat and saw me on the couch, "And you must be Beth." she said. I smiled and nodded, "It's very nice to finally meet you!" she said, wrapping her arms around me

"It's nice to meet you too." I giggled

Maura smiled, "You are so beautiful." she said, "I know my little grand baby is going to be gorgeous." she beamed

Niall smiled and put his arm around my shoulders and his other hand on my belly, "They sure will be."

"Oh, I can't forget!" she said, rushing over to some bags she had set down by the door, and carrying them over, "I could't help it, I just had to get some things for the baby."

Niall threw his head back, "Lord help us." he sighed as she began to pull out the contents of the bags.

NIALL'S POV

After about an hour of Beth and my mum excitedly sorting through the bags of baby clothes, she insisted on cooking dinner for us.

Beth smiled, "I like your mom." she said, as my mum walked away to the kitchen.

I chuckled, "I knew you would."

Beth sat back on the couch and picked up the remote. She flicked through the channels before she stopped on What Not to Wear. I sighed and sat beside her, "How can you watch this?"

"It's fun to laugh at people poor fashion choices." she said cheerfully. I chuckled and put my arm around her shoulders.

'So, babe, we need to talk about some things. I said, tuning down the television.

"Yes?" she asked with a confused look

"Well, you know...the tour is going to start soon.." I started

"And...?"

"I don't like you being here alone all the time, and at your state, I really don't think you should be at concerts and up all hours of the night."

"So what are you saying?" she asked

"I think that it would be a good idea if you stayed with my mum in Mullingar." I said

"What?" she asked

"I talked to her about it and she has an extra room and I jus-" she cut me off

"No." she said firmly, "No. I'm staying with you, Niall."

"Beth, you need to rest. It will be better for you."

"Niall, I don't want to." she said, pursing her lips

A small smile came across my face; I was amused by how stubborn she was. "Bethy." I chuckled, putting my hand on her back, "You have to, babe."

"I don't have to do anything." she said, shrugging my hand off of her back

I sighed, "Okay, Beth. Can you at least think about it?"

"Fine." she said, half-hearted

"Dinners ready!" my mum called from the kitchen

Beth immediately cheered up and rushed into the dining room; I smiled and followed her in.
