Still The One (Niall Horan)

Chapter 36

∼November 25, 2021∼

*Sofia's P.O.V.*

We got back to the US two days ago, and the boys have time off until after New Years, we have to leave for the Latin American leg of the tour on the 3rd of January. I'm really excited, because this will be the first time the boys will be performing in my city. We're all heading to Tulum to spend New Years there, since we're in much need of a beach break before we leave for Argentina. That's where the boys kick off this leg of the tour and then we'll make our way up north until we get to my city. I begged them to close the latin american part of the tour there and they agreed. 

"Babe, I'm gonna go shopping with the girls." I announced to Niall, who was playing guitar in the music room.  He didn't answer me, so I literally had to go stand in front of him and wave my hand in front oh his face for him to notice me. I swear when this guy has an instrument in his hands, the whole world fades away, it's only his music and him. 

"Babe." I spoke again.

"Sorry, what?"

"I'm going shopping with the girls, to get some new bathing suits for our trip."

"I wanted to help you chose them." He whined. 

"No you didn't. You just want to see me in them."

"Touchè." He gave a cheeky smile. 

"I'll show them to you when I get home."

"You'll try them on?" I saw his eyes get bigger.

"If you want to."

"I do want to."

"You are unbelievable." I shook my head.

"I'm not. I mean, who would say no to a private runway show?"

"I never said I was doing a private runway show for you Niall. Much less in swimsuits."

"Oh come on, as if I haven't seen you naked." I smacked him arm. "What? It's true!" He exclaimed.

"I'll try them on and that's it. You know I'm shy."

"You don't have to petal. You have a killer body."

"Oh shut up."

"I swear."

"Well thank you. El just texted me, she's here. I've gotta go."I leaned down to kiss him.

"Bye. I'll be waiting." He replied, and then smacked my bum as I turned to walk out of the room.

"Niall!" I exclaimed.

"What?" He replied very innocently.

"Oh god." I just shook my head and walked out, hearing his laugh echoing through the house as I made my way to the front door.

"Hiii." Eleanor screamed as soon as I walked out of the door, we'd gotten really close over the past months and we got used to being with each other 24/7 so it had been weird not having her or the other girls around these past few days.

"Hiii, oh my god I missed you."

"I missed you too!" She hugged me. After greeting each other we got into the car, and made our way to Harry's house to pick up Cami. Gigi and Maya couldn't make it, since they had things to do for work. 

We got to the mall 30 minutes later and we were eager to start shopping. It had been really cold in Europe, so we were more than ready to hit the beach and buy summery clothes for the Latin American leg of the tour. 

"What do you think about this one?" I pulled a one shoulder bikini out of the rack and showed it to the girls.

"I love it."

"Try it on!" Cami spoke.

"I will!" I excitedly replied as I continued browsing. By the time we were done looking I had picked out 3 bikinis and I was ready to try them on. The three of us headed to the fitting rooms and I tried on the first bikini I had picked out. I stared at myself in the mirror and I looked so bloated, like extremely bloated. What the hell?

"I'm ready." I heard Eleanor's voice.

"Me too." Cami replied as I heard both of their doors open. "Soph?"

"Coming." I replied, as I sucked in my stomach as much as I could, not that it made any difference at all. I took one final look in the mirror and opened the door.

"We look amazing!" Eleanor said, and she was right, both Cami and her looked absolutely incredible in their bikinis, but not me. 

"I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm so bloated." I felt my eyes get all watery.

"No you're not." Cami spoke as I blinked rapidly, trying to stop the tears from coming.

"You don't look bloated at all." I knew they were lying. I looked as if I were five months pregnant. "Maybe you feel bloated because your period is coming."

"Yeah that could be it. When are you supposed to get your period?" Cami asked. I honestly had no idea, we'd been traveling a lot and I didn't even know what day today was.

"I'm not sure, but that could be it. I'll check my calendar." I told them as I headed back to my fitting room to get my phone. I pulled out the calendar and started counting the days since I last had my period. 30 days ago. "Fuck, fuck, fuck." I whispered, but I didn't realize the girls were standing at the door.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm late." My voice was barely audible.

"I'm late all the time. Don't worry." Eleanor tried to calm me down, I hadn't even realized that I had started shaking.

"But I'm never late, never." My voice quavered.

"We've traveled a lot. It could be because of that." Cami offered.

"Yeah, maybe." I replied, not convinced.

"Do you think there's a chance you're pregnant?" Eleanor asked.

"We've been careful."

"But could there be a possibility?" She asked again.

"Condoms aren't a 100% effective." Cami chimed in.

"Oh my god." I felt the tears starting to form again.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. Don't worry darling." Eleanor hugged me.

"We can go and get a test for you if you want." Cami offered.

"No." I blurted out a little too fast. No one had asked to take a picture with us or anything, but people started at us, I heard them whispering and pointing. I didn't need them taking a picture of any of us buying a pregnancy test, no thanks. "I mean...no...thank you...I'll buy one when I get home. I don't want anyone to take a picture of any of us buying a pregnancy test."

"You're right, that would break the internet."

"It would." Eleanor laughed. 

"Cheer up. You look amazing in the bikini and I'm pretty sure you're just late because of all the traveling we've been doing. Let's try to keep you busy so that you don't think about that. Come on, try another swimsuit." I appreciated that the girls were trying to keep me calm, but there was no way I could think of anything else. Could it be possible that I was pregnant? There was no way right?
