Through the dark ~Niall Horan Fanfiction~

Chapter Two

The sun shone through the thin grey curtains and the light reflected off the white sheets onto my eyes waking me up.

Mine and Niall's legs were tangled and my arm was slung over his torso after our night of romance together.

We had come home from the picnic, took our dog Honey for a walk before we had a home cooked roast and hit the sheets for a night of love and joy (if you know what I mean *wink wink*).

Niall moved his leg and his eyes slowly opened and as soon as he saw me he smiled. He sat up slightly on his elbows and kissed my forehead before bringing me closer to his chest.

"Yesterday was amazing," I grinned.

"I will totally agree with that 100 percent," he chuckled.

I looked up an kissed him. "So what's on the agenda today?" I asked.

"Well, I don't have any One Direction business so the whole day is to ourselves. And Honey of course."

"On the topic of Honey, it is.." I paused looking over at the clock on the bedside table "... ten o'clock and she would be starving."

"We should get up and start the day and we will continue this cuddle later on the couch after I make waffles for you and I, he smiled."

"Sounds lovely," I giggled as I turned over and sat up. I slipped on a silky night gown and walked to my dresser to put on some lace underwear.

"Good choice!" he winked as I walked out the door rolling my eyes.

Honey was sleeping at the bottom of the stairs curled up into a ball. She is a golden retriever and is only 2 years old. We got her from an animal shelter one month after Niall and I moved in together. It was an instant connection and I knew she was the one.

"Here you go Hun," I say as I put her filled bowl down on the ground next to her filled water bowl. She raced to it and started eating.

I walked into the kitchen and saw Niall pouring the batter into the waffle maker.

"Smells good already," I say as I walk up beside him and kiss him on the cheek. He blushes and kisses me back.

Fifteen minutes later he had plated up the waffles. Four for him and 2 for me. I topped mine and with maple syrup, icing sugar and a couple of strawberries as they are my favourite fruit. I joined Niall on the 2 seat couch in front of the TV. He turned the channel to the news and it was right there. 'To be Mrs Horan?' on the screen next to the newsreader with a picture of Niall and I from Zayn and Perrie's engagement party. We both look at each other before listening to what the news lady had to say.

"The couple were spotted yesterday having a picnic at their local park. Niall's other fellow band members were seen there too. Niall was spotted, kneeling down on one knee and putting a ring on his girlfriend of 3 years' finger. They have made no comment on this event on any social media. This possibly could be the new Mrs Horan."

"I think it's time to tell them honey," he said looking me in the eyes.

"Do you want me to get the laptop running? We can do a twitcam and I'm sure it's the best way to get it out there."

"I agree. I write a tweet now and we'll go get ready," he smiled.

************************************
"Hey guys!" Niall grinned looking at the camera.

"Hello," I smiled more softly.

"There are so many rumours going around and we would like to clear up one in particular. I think you know what one we mean."

"We saw it on the news this morning and I'm sure you did too. Are we getting married?"

Butterflies were flying around so much in my stomach and I felt like being sick. Niall grabbed my hand that was sitting on my lap.

"Yes, we are getting married,"he said excitedly and I showed the ring on my finger.

We both smiled. He squeezed my hand a bit harder and suddenly all the butterflies went away.

"There will be haters out there and we won't listen to you. All of you who support this, we thank and we know it is the right decision. Thank you so much for tuning in and we will see you again soon," I said and I turned the camera off.

"As if we just did that without vomiting!" said Niall surprised.

"Celebration time!! Oh but first we have some family to tell."

"Whoops forgot about that," he chuckled.

POP!!!

The champagne cork hit the roof. We could afford champagne since Niall was earning a bit let's be honest. We were in the living room of our apartment with Niall's family which included Greg, Denise, Theo and Maura (Niall's mum). They had flown in tonight as they were spending the week in London to explore and so Niall could show them around.

"To the lovely couple!" cheered Greg.

"To the lovely couple!" repeated the others raising their glasses in the air before taking a sip.

"I love you," I say looking right into Niall's blue eyes.

"I love you too," he says in reply putting his arm around my shoulder and kissing my forehead.

This moment was perfect.
************************
"We're getting married!" I screamed at my parents faces on the laptop screen.

"Oh Indigo," mum said tearing up. "That's so beautiful." Dad was rubbing her back trying to calm her a bit. I wish that Niall and I will end up like that. All that my parents have been through inspires me.

"Mum you have to stop crying otherwise I will be balling my eyes out any second," I pleaded.

"Indigo, I can safely say that you have chosen the right man," Dad said assuringly and Niall grinned.

"Thankyou Phil," replied Niall and I looked up to him and grinned like a maniac.

"Well, your father and I have to go out in a minute but I'm so happy for you and I'll be waiting for my invitation to hen's night," mum winked. "Goodnight Indigo and I know I say this everytime but please keep my baby safe and happy."

"It's my duty. You have such a lovely daughter and thankyou so much for giving me the opportunity to marry such a beautiful woman," he said squeezing my hand.

"Thankyou Niall. See you soon guys, bye." Dad said ending the Skype call.

"You are so charming," I giggled.

"Would my fair lady accompany me back down stairs for a tea?" He asked in an old time accent

"I would love to my jolly old husband," I giggled playing along with his joke.
