More Than Expected-A One Direction Fan Fiction {Completed}

Chapter Twenty-Nine xCate

I sat in the assenger seat of Niall's car, hands clasped together in my lap. We were going to his mum's house so that we could finally meet.

"You're going to be fine. She's going to love you."he said, glancing over at me. Alex had just gone through the same thing a few days ago.

"What if she doesn't?"I asked him, biting my lip. He took my hand in his and intertwinded his fingers with mine.

"She will. I love you don't I?"

"Yes,"I said,"But what does that have to do with anything."

"I know she'll love you because I love you." I heard his phone go off. Sighing, he pulled it out of his pocket and answered.

"Hello? Oh hi mum! Yeah we'll be there soon.... You invited all of them?.... Yeah it's fine. I'm just worried about Liah... I know, I know....I told her the same thing!....okay, see you soon!" He hung up and continued down the road. I rode along in silence, watching the buildings go past. Soon, Niall pulled into a driveway.

"Here we are."he said. I met his eyes.

"Yay."

"Hey, you're going to be fine. They'll love you." He kissed my forehead and climed out of the car. HE opened up my door and I climbed out. He held my hand again and we walked to the door. Before he could even knock, the door flung open.

"Niall!"his mum said excitedly.

"Hi Mum!"he let go of my hand and leaned down to hug her.

"And you must be Liah."she looked at me smiling.

"Yes I am,"I replied smiling back, hoping I didn't look as nervous as I felt. My stomach hurt.

"I'm Maura. Don't be nervous dear."she told me taking my hands in hers. I smiled more genuinely. "Welcome to the family." She hugged me and I put my arms around her small frame. Then she was leading me through the house, showing me around and then I found myself in the back yard amongst other people. Niall had his arm around my shoulders holding me close to him.

"Niall!"several little girls shouted, running to him. All three had dark brown hair and dark blue eyes and looked about four. They must have been triplets. The only differnces were the colours of their clothes and the fact that one had curly hair, one had wavy hair, and one had straight.

 Niall laughed as the girls hugged his legs. He picked one of the girls up and put her on his back, then picked another up and held her on his hip. The other sat on his foot, clutching his leg. I smiled at them.

"Liah these are my cousins. Ammalie, Anna and Aly." He pointed to each of the girls in turn as he said their names. Ammalie had the curls, Anna had the waves and Aly's hair was straight. Got it. "And girls, this is Liah. Can you say hi?"

"Hi!"they chourused.

"Hi,"I said back laughing a little. They were so cute! Niall was so good with them.

"Niall, is she your sister?"Anna asked poking his cheek. He was holding her on his hip. Aly was holding onto his leg and Ammalie was on his back, arms around his neck.

"When did you get a sister?"Aly piped up.

"She's pretty,"Ammalie said.

"No, she's not my sister, and she is pretty isn't she?"he said smiling. I blushed, crossing my arms.

"Then who is she?"Ammalie asked, cocking her head to the side.

"My girlfriend,"Niall replied, laughing when the girls started chanting,"Naill and Liah sitting in a tree! K-i-s-something something something!" I had to laugh too, these girls were adorable!

Aly pulled on the leg of my jeans. I crouched down and she whispered in my ear,"Will you pick me up?" I smiled and picked the small girl up, holding her against my hip.

"Do you like princesses?"she asked me, her eyes lighting up.

I honestly had to think about it for a while,"Yeah I do."I said finally.

"I like princesses too."Aly said matter-of-factly. "Mummy says that Anna, Ammalie and I look like Belle. From Beauty and the Beast."

"You do,"I answered smiling.

"So Nialler, did I hear that she's your girlfriend?"I heard a boy ask.

"Connor!"Niall said,"C'mere!"

He walked over to Niall and Niall set his elbow ontop of his head. "Yes, she is my girlfriend. You can look but don't touch." Connor was probably ten or eleven with the same dark hair as the girls.

"That's funny, because Greg said that you'd never find one."he stated. Niall clenched his jaw. I covered my mouth to keep from laughing. He winked at me. That was it. I burst out laughing. Thankfully, Niall laughed also.

"Where's Greg anyway?"he asked Connor.

"Over there,"he said pointing ot a group of people. Niall nodded.

"Hey Liah?"Ammalie asked.

"Yeah sweetheart?"I asked her smiling.

"Will you play princessees with us?"Aly and Anna's eyes lit up.

"Pleas please please?"they piped in.

I laughed and nodded,"Sure."

Anna grabbed my hand and dragged me away from Niall.

"I guss I'll see you later?"I called back to him. He grinned and saluted me, rolling my eyes, I walked back to a corner with the three girls.

"Okay, so we have to stay away from the boys. They're all bad."Aly explained.

"They're yucky."Anna agreed.

So the three girls and I played Princesses for a while. They would run around the backyard, darting through the small clusters of people and screaming when Connor would chase them. We were all gathered under a tree and were talking among themselves.

Anna was smoothing down Aly's hair because it had gotten all messed up after running around and Ammalie was watching me. I kept my eyes on Niall who was talking with his friends and family. I could hear his laughter being carried across the yard. I was happy that he was happy. It always made me feel good when I heard him laughing because I knew that in that moment, nothing was bothering him really. That he was just having fun.

 I noticed someone had turned on some music and people were begining to dance and mess around.

Niall turned around and studied the yard looking for someone. Soon, he locked eyes with me and grinned from ear to ear and began to walk towards me and the girls.

"Is Niall a good guy or a bad guy."Anna inquired hurriedly.

"I think he's good because him and Liah are together."Aly said. Ammalie nodded in agreement.

Niall reached out his hand and helped me up.

"May I have this dance my Princess?"he asked me, kissing the top of my hand. I blushed and smiled.

"Of course."

Niall drew me close to him gently and wrapped his arms around me, his hands resting on the small of my back. I put my arms around his nck and rested my head on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. Strong and familliar. We swayed back and forth to a completely different song.

I heard people murmuring to eachother and saying,"Awwww." I heard cameras taking pictures of us but I didn't care. I looked up into Niall's blue eyes and saw the pure joy reflecting in them. He smiled at me then pressed his lips to mine, softly and sweetly.  I put my hands on his chest and he put his hands on my hips. I pulled away, my cheeks hot and burried my face in his chest again.

I could hear people shouting and whistling and could hear Greg's voice cutting through shouting,"Get some Niall!"

None of that mattered to me though because I was with my Prince and we were happy. Nothing could ruin that moment.
