It's been too long! I'm so sorry!
"Niall don't!" I giggled as he pinch at my thighs and tickled me.
"C'mon you miss waking up to me." He laughed.
I've been living on my own for about a month and it's been a while since I've stayed the night with Niall. I thought it was about time I had a little sleepover with him. Sort of like a regular beginning of a relationship.
"I miss the smell of your pillows." I draped my arms on his shoulders and he hovered over me.
We just woke up and Niall has been playful the whole time. He smiled at my comments and rested on his elbows beside my head. He pecked my nose and brushed his fingers through my hair.
"What about me?" He looked at my face but not my eyes. "I miss seeing you next to me, curled up in my sheets when I wake up."
"What about you?" I joked.
"Do you miss waking up to me?"
"Not really."
"Hey." He pouted.
"I'm just kidding! Of course I miss opening my eyes and seeing your cute face either looking at me or all relaxed and sleeping away." I ran my hand through his hair. "Sleeping at my place is probably the hardest part about it."
"Then come back here."
"Niall I can't babe." I sat up and he sat beside me.
"Why not."
"I don't want to be dependent on you."
"Okay I won't argue." He said, pulling me onto him.
I smiled and then remembered the one thing I knew I had to talk to him about. I've been nervous about it since I got here yesterday. I was just going to come right in his apartment and blurt it out but when I walked in he had a nice dinner made and candles. I couldn't ruin it.
"Uhm babe."
"I don't like that way that sounds." He sat up again and I feel between his legs.
"I have to tell you something and I don't want you to freak out?"
"(Y/n) when you tell someone not to freak out it usually makes them freak out."
"I know." I got off the bed and started pacing the room. "You know when we had sex last month?"
"Which time?"
"When you were uhm y'know like really dominant."
He smiled and winked at me. "Oh yeah."
"Okay." I nodded.
"Why?"
"Did you happen to use a condom?" I bit my lip.
"I don't remember."
"Babe I'm late and protection doesn't work all the time and I think I'm pregnant." I said quickly.
"Babe calm down." He stood up and grabbed my hands. "We got this."
I looked at him confused. "Why aren't you freaking out? I'm freaking the fuck out!"
"You told me not too and I see you're scared. If I lose it then you'll just get worse alright. We can go to the clinic. We can have you tested. Just take a few deep breaths and we don't need to decide anything until we know."
"You have been so incredible lately."
"Just lately?" He smiled.
"You've been so supportive with everything."
"It's because I love you and I don't want to lose you over something dumb or little."
"This isn't either of those things." I said.
"I know baby, but right now it's nothing until we know what is for sure going on." He brushed my cheeks with his thumbs and then pecked my lips. "I love you."
"I love you."

"Niall the doctor is on the phone!" I yelled from the kitchen.
Niall came out of the bathroom wearing a towel and breathing heavily from running. I pressed the phone to my ear again and Niall listened in too.
"Well ms. (Last name), congratulations you are pregnant." My eyes widened and Niall sat on the stool staring at me.
I said thank you and hung up. My hands were shaking and tears were starting for form.
"Holy shit." Niall breathe.
"I'm sorry."
"No no." He stood up. "It's my fault baby. I'm sorry."
"I was hoping the morning sickness was just all in my head." I cried.
"Babe we can do it. You love kids."
"Niall how are we supposed to raise a kid? Neither of us have actual jobs."
"We don't have to keep it. Their are options. We can do whatever you want, (y/n)."
"What about adoption?" I asked.
"You want to go through the birth and everything? It'll be hard babe."
"I know but I can't terminate a life Niall."
"Okay."
He pulled me into a hug and I cried hard. Later after Niall got dressed the guys were over and noticed I was a little off. I was going to just go home and cry to be honest.
"I'm fine I'm just gonna get going." I said and Niall looked at me confused. "I don't feel good."
"Babe stay so I can take care of you?" He said.
"No no the guys are here." I said standing up.
"(Y/n), what's going on?" Louis asked. "Niall?" He looked at him.
"She's pregnant." He said and all of their jaws dropped.
"Are you keeping it?" Harry asked and I shook my head.
"We want to put him or her up for adoption." Niall spoke for me.
I sat back down next to Niall and he placed a hand on my knee. Louis just sort of watched me as I crossed my arms over my stomach and curled up.
"You have time to think about it y'know? You are an adult."
"Yeah but Niall's a high school dropout working at a tattoo parlor and I'm a college dropout working at a fucking day care just to make ends meet." I cried.
"Babe you know we could make it work if you wanted to keep the baby. I swear it." Niall hugged me close.
"We'll help you guys." Zayn said.
"Yeah we are family." Liam added. "I'm set for life and then some with the money I inherited from my grandfather. We can help in every which way."
"Thanks guys but I can't." I said.
"We can, (y/n)." Niall told me. "Now is not the time to be modest." I nodded. "We can love this kid just as much as someone who has everything figured out."
