The Only One I Want - A Niall Horan Story

Chapter Forty-Eight - Valentine's Day

It's Valentine's Day. Elaine is 6 months old. Where the hell did all the time go? She's growing up so fast! She's started teething, so she's pretty fussy all the time. Poor girl.

"Adds, what did you do to calm her down last time?" Niall asked me, walking around with a crying Elaine in his arms.

"There's a paci in the freezer. Give that to her. She likes the cold."

"Smartass." Niall and I laughed. I ran to get Elaine's pacifier that I had put in the freezer to chill for when she needed it again, which would be now. I pulled it out of the freezer and stuck it in her mouth. She calmed down after that.

"My fiancé's a magician." Niall said, making me laugh

"Nope. I'm just a normal person who loves her family." I said, giving Niall a kiss.

"Awww. That's cute. I love you too. Hey, I've got something for you. C'mere."

"Ok."

We walked into our bedroom and he handed me a box. It was a pretty big box, so whatever was in there was big.

"Open it." Niall said

"Ok." I said as I opened the box. In the box was- A PUPPY!! OH MY GOD HE GOT ME A PUPPY! "Oh my god! You got me a puppy! Niall! You didn't have to do that!"

"I wanted to. And I thought it would be a nice addition to our little family. Hey hold on, imma go put Elaine in her crib." He said, giving me a kiss

Niall took Elaine to her nursery, which we painted to look exactly like the one back at our old flat. We had to repaint that room so we could sell the flat.

"My present isn't as good as yours." I told Niall as he walked back in.

"That's ok baby. I told you that you didn't even have to get my anything. All I want is you."

"I have 2 presents."

"Baby! Wait, last time you said that you were pregnant, you're not pregnant again, are you?"

"Haha. No, we're waiting on that."

"Ok good. We need to wait until Elaine is AT LEAST a year old. AT THE VERY LEAST."

"Agreed. So anyway, here's your first present." I said, handing him a bunch of golf clubs

"Golf clubs. I already have loads of em baby."

"I know that, I'm not stupid. Look at what's engraved on them." One of them had June 20, 2023, the day we started dating. Another had December 11, 2023, the day I found out about Elaine. Another said Christmas Day, the day Niall found out about Elaine. On some more were the day we picked Elaine's name, the day Elaine was born, the day Niall proposed, and the last one was the day of our wedding, which is yet to come.

"You engraved all our important dates on golf clubs for me? Baby that's amazing. I love it. Thank you." He said as he pulled me in for a hug and placed a kiss on the top of my head.

"You're welcome. I'm glad you like it."

"I love it. Why did you get me two gifts though?" He asked

"Well the second one is kind of for both of us." I said

"Well where is it?"

"In our bed. Tonight. Charolette and Louis are watching Elaine throughout the night, so...."

"Oh hell yes." We laughed. My phone started ringing. A call from Charolette. Oh no. She'd better not be cancelling on tonight. I picked up the phone and put it on speaker

"Hello?"

"Hi Addy."

"Hey Charolette. What's up?"

"I have to tell you something."

"Ok. You're not cancelling on me are you?" I said as I looked at Niall.

"No no no. It's not that." Niall started punching the air after she said that, making me laugh.

"What is it then?"

"Louis proposed!"

"What?! Oh my god! And?!" Niall was now jumping up and down, Charolette didn't know he could hear her, so he was trying to be quiet and contain his excitement at the same time, which appeared to be pretty difficult.

"I said yes!"

"Oh my god! Congratulations!" Niall was still jumping up and down. He was about to crack, I could tell. "Haha. Ok. I have you on speaker, so Niall can hear you, but we didn't know if that was ok or not, so he's trying to be quiet and contain his excitement at the same time. He's currently jumping up and down with his hands over his mouth." She started laughing. "Niall, now that she knows you can hear her, you can let it all out."

"OH MY GOD YOU GUYS ARE GETTING MARRIED!! YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TEN KIDS AND IMMA SPOIL THEM ALL ROTTEN!!" Niall yelled as Charolette and I laughed our asses of the entire time.

"Ten kids. Wow. That's a lot." I said before taking a sip of my water.

"Yea, well, we're gonna have more, so..." Niall said, making me spit my water out of my mouth.

"I never agreed to that!" I exclaimed.

"I know, I was just saying it so you'd spit your water off."

"Damn ok. I'll be sure to spit it on you next time."

"Ok ok. I won't do it again. Sorry baby. Love you."

"Love you too bitch." I said, dumping the remainders of my water on his head and ran out, grabbing my phone on the way.

"You're gonna pay for that!" I heard Niall yell. I looked back to see he was running after me

"Charolette I gotta go. Bye. Love you. Congrats." I hung up the phone and placed it on the counter as I ran. I saw Niall grab a water bottle from out of the fridge. Oh no. I'm screwed. SHIT! I'm wearing a white top too! Damn, what a bad choice of clothing for today.

"I'll find you Addy!"

"There's no need to find me, I'm right here!" I said. As he turned around, I sprayed him with a water gun that I found and filled with water. I dropped the gun and ran. Not a smart choice to drop the gun. Why I did it? I have no idea.

I was quietly sneaking around the house now. I thought I lost him when I turned the corner and ran into something hard.

"Hey baby girl." JACE?! I started crying. He was in jail! Did he escape?!

"Princess what's wrong? It's just me." Niall said. Oh god. It was just Niall. I should have looked up to see who it was before I started crying.

"Sorry." I said

"No it's ok Princess. What's wrong?"

"You just, you sounded a lot like Jace just now. I thought he was here for a moment."

"Oh Princess." He said as he took me into a wet but warm hug. "It's ok. He can't get you. He's in prison. He's not getting ok. You're safe here. I promise."

"Ok." I sniffled

"You better now?"

"Yea."

"Good. Because I believe I have something to finish." He said as he dumped a water bottle on the top of my head, making my white shirt see through and revealing my bra. I just sat there, unamused, staring at him.

Later that day Charolette and Louis picked up Elaine and we congratulated them again. Niall and I had a night full of pleasure, you know what I mean. Don't worry, we didn't forget to use protecting. And we didn't break the bed this time.
