Niall's birthday was coming up, and Kristyn, his fiancée, was currently living in Nashville, and he was in Ireland at the time. The two hadn't gotten to see each other in quite a bit, and he wanted nothing more than Kristyn to come see him for his birthday that was coming up. A few days prior, Niall called Kristyn to see if she could make it. "So, can you come?" he asked excitedly. "I really wish I could Niall, but I am going to be busy, and I'm not going to be able to make it this year. We will see each other soon," Kristyn said trying to suppress a laugh. "Okay," Niall said glumly, but what he didn't know is that Kristyn had been talking to Greg, and that she was going to surprise him. "I'm sorry, babe! I promise we will see each other soon," Kristyn said. "It's okay," Niall said and they said their goodbyes.
Kristyn texted Greg saying, "Niall just called to see if I was coming. He is totally oblivious to the plan, so we are good to go!" "Okay, I'll pick you up from the airport when you get here in a few days!" Greg texted back. Greg and Kristyn had been in touch lately to make the surprise happen for Niall. "Sounds great!" she texted and went to go pack her bags.
A few days later, Kristyn flew out to Ireland to surprise him, and Greg picked her up from the airport. "Hey Kristyn!" Greg said as he hugged her. "Hey Greg!" she said hugging him back. "So, nobody knows anything. I sorta just told them I had to go get something before Niall's birthday dinner tonight...I didn't tell them what," Greg asked as they put the luggage in the car. "Well hey, you didn't lie! You did go get something," Kristyn laughed getting in the car.
"I'm back!" Greg hollered down the hall as he quietly held the door for Kristyn, and got her luggage in. "Just in time, we are about to eat dinner," Maura said sitting down Greg's plate. When Greg went around the corner, Kristyn popped into the doorway, and his family saw her. Kristyn held her finger up to her mouth, so that they didn't ruin the surprise, which caused them all to smile. Niall's back was to Kristyn in the doorway, so he never knew she was there. As they ate their meal, Niall sat quietly with his eyes dropped down to his plate as the others conversated. "What's wrong, love?" Maura asked knowing Niall was bummed. "I just wish Kristyn could've been here, I miss her a lot," Niall said pushing around some of the food on the plate. "I know...but, I have something that may make you feel better," Maura sat pulling his birthday cake out, and lighting the candles. "Thanks, mom," Niall said. "Make a wish," she said sitting the lit cake in front of him. Niall closed his eyes momentarily to make his wish, and then blew out the candles. "Well, what did you wish for?" Greg asked slyly. "I wished that Kristyn was here," Niall said looking down. Greg nonchalantly waved Kristyn over, and she wrapped her arms around Niall's neck, causing him to jump. "Your wish came true," she said in his ear, and he whipped around immediately to see his fiancée standing there. "Kristyn!" Niall said as he shot up, and grabbed her in a huge hug. Kristyn held him, and felt tears falling on her shirt. She rubbed Niall's back with a chuckle.
"I can't believe you're here!" Niall said pulling away. "Well, here I am," she smiled taking a seat with his family. "How'd you get here?" Niall asked still baffled, and Kristyn pointed at Greg. "You've known this whole time?" Niall asked Greg. "Well, of course! Somebody had to pick her up," Greg joked causing Niall to shove his shoulder in a playing way. The group sat and talked as a family for a while before it was time to go to bed.
"Well, I'm going to bed," Bobby said as he helped Maura finish cleaning the kitchen. "Us too," Denise said holding a very much asleep Theo. "Goodnight, guys," they all said to each other as they went into their separate bedrooms. Niall and Kristyn decided to play Uno for a while as they caught up on missed time. "I still can't believe you're here," Niall said as he laid down another card. "I wanted to surprise you," Kristyn smiled sitting drawing a card. "Well, it was the greatest birthday surprise I could ever get!" Niall said looking up from his deck. "Well, I'm glad!" Kristyn said and he kissed her. "I win," Niall said laying down his last card. "Good, I'm sleepy," Kristyn laughed laying down. "Me too!" Niall said laying down beside her, and turning the lamp off. And with that, Niall could finally drift off to sleep knowing that Kristyn was in his arms.
