Chapter 80

Niall's P.O.V.

"So what made you pop the question?" The interviewer asked as she leaned forward, glancing at the camera. All the boys tilted their head toward me, unsure of exactly why I actually had. After only a year? 

I thought back to when I said goodbye to her at the airport a few days ago. How sad she was to leave but how happy she was to have come at all. She was crying, and I was the reason for it, Because she was leaving me. She wasn't going to be with me. 

And I cried for the same reason. The reason of being without her. That's how you know you love someone. When the thought of being without them brings you to tears, makes your stomach drop, your heart slow down or maybe speed up, racing to keep them near you. 

You love them and you want to be with them to make sure they're happy and smiling. To make sure they're laughing not crying and smiling not frowning. Just the idea, right now, of the image of her smile is enought to get me through the rest of this tour. Knowing that, yes right now she's not with me but in a matter of months she will be, and we will have our own family soon after. 

The thought of our little boy laughing with us and crying when he's not with us, because he loves us.

The thing is, it's easy to love someone but it's hard to care about someone. When you care about someone, you care about how they make you feel. How happy they make you or how sad they do. It's a lot to take on, caring. But it's easy with the right people. It feels good to care and love someone just as much as they do you. 

I talked to her 10 minutes ago on the phone and i already miss her. I'll be thinking about how she wished me good luck while hiccuping inbetween syllables until the next time I hear her goddamn voice. Or when her voice rose a few octaves because Frankin came into the room. Or how evident the smile was in her voice when she told me for the hundreth time, "I can't believe we'll have our own family, our own son soon." 

When you love someone you miss them always, even when they've only just gone up to get a few napkins at the fastfood place or they just ran out to go food shopping. You miss them cause they're not with you and anything could happen to them. Missing someone is apart of loving them, apart of caring about them. 

When she called me a couple of days ago, her voice shakey on the first 'hello', my stomch dropped cause she was crying. Crying is linked with sadness in the mind. When you see someone cry you think they're sad, so I thought she was sad. But she wasn't. She was happy because we were having a baby who was going to be a boy. And I just wanted to be there, to hug her, kiss her, anything but the only thing I could do was say I love you and sound excited. I was excited, but I wanted to be excited with her. 

"I 'popped' the question because I love her, as anyone could assume. But every love is different. I love her because of so many reasons that I couldn't even begin to list, but I will. I mean, she's amazing and just asking her this question and her saying yes is like her giving me all of her love, love that won't be given to anyone else. It's all mine. I asked this question because the thought of her kissing someone else and saying I love you to them repulses me to the point of sickness. I want to be the only person she can say I love you to. I've accomplished a lot in the past few years. Sold out tours, arenas, made albums and met amazing people but when she said yes, gosh, I'd never felt happier in my entire fucking life." I smiled shaking my head. "It's just indescribable what it feels like for someone you love so much to say yes to being with you for the rest of your life. It really is." 

And when I looked up at the interviewer, this young, beautiful girl she was crying and she held out her hand and showed me an extremely nice engagement ring. "It feels the same way on our side too." She smiled, wiping at her eyes where her make up began to run. "Us girls, it's our dream and you boys, you guys get it too."

"Aw mate that was so sweet." Liam grinned patting my back. 

"Well that was our final question, thank you guys for coming, and tune in next time for an exclusive interview with Arctic Monkeys!" The interviewer smiled, the 'on air' light turning red. "You had so many girls crying in here, including me." She laughed taking off her mic. "It was great having you guys, come back soon."

"Anytime." We waved, exiting off the stage. When we were finally in the car and out of the chaos the boys all turned to me.

"Niall, Niall, Niall, goddamn you better hope she watches that, that'll get you laid." Louis laughed patting me on the shoulder. "After she has the baby of course." 

"I can't believe you'll be a dad by the end of the year man, that's crazy. I can't even think about that yet." Zayn chuckled, the other boys agreeing.

"Yeah, I didn't really have a choice to think about it." I shrugged pulling out my phone. I texted Kaylee about some of the interview before we were off to yet another signing. 

"And then I just asked her." I smiled as the girls squealed. I had told the story about 50 thousand times in the past 3 hours and I was near passing out at the question, 'how did it happen?!'

"That's super adorable, gosh I can't wait till you're married and have a family! Gah!" The girl grinned, her braces laced with pink bands to match her bright 'Mrs.Payne' shirt. The security guard pushed the last group along before we were free to go for the day, thank god.

"I love being on tour, I really do. But I get so exhausted so quickly, too much stuff going on." Harry huffed as we shuffled down a back hallway toward the car. 

"I know, sometimes I just need a 14 hour nap." Zayn laughed, "Or a 2 hour one."

I loved tour too, but after finding out about Kaylee I wanted nothing more than for it to end so I could be with her. I mean, she's all alone, what if something happened and she couldn't get help? I know Riley practically lives there at the moment but that doesn't make me worry less, I mean it is Riley after all.

When we got back to the hotel we parted ways and said goodnight. The minute I got into my room I peeled my sweaty jumper off and ordered a pizza, gosh I was starving. They said 45 minutes so I hopped in the shower, the warm water relaxing my tensed muscles. 

I heard a buzzing nose and poked my head out to see my phone screen lit up, a picture of Kaylee hanging upside down from a set of monkeys bars, a goofy grin on her face. I quickly got out, wiping my hands on a towel and answering.

"Hey babe, everything alright?" I asked leaning against the counter.

"Yeah fine, just wanted to tell you I got a call from the doctor today." She paused yawning before continuing. "And the babies do to be born on October 31, halloween, spooky." She laughed as I sighed, relieved nothing was wrong. 

"I should be back in england for the last leg of the tour by then, I think. I'll check my schedule and let you know."

"Okay, uh what's that watery noise?" She asked, the sound of a little bell jingling in the background, Franklin.

"Oh well I was in the shower...."

"Niall! You could've just called me back."

"I know but I wasn't sure if something was wrong." I shrugged grabbing a towel and throwing it around my waist.

"Well nothings wrong. I got to go, Riley and I are going out to dinner with a couple of her friends. Talk to you later?"

"Mhm, I love you." She said it back before the phone call ended and my shower resumed.

I was out and dressed just in time for the pizza to arrive. All deliciously decorated slices of cheese for me. I picked up some book Kaylee had read that she was going on and on about and started to read it, gosh I'm reading.

"Niall mate, get up!" I heard someone shouting. I rolled over to see the time. 2 in the afternoon. Damn last night I fell asleep late reading, guess I must've been that tired. 

I dragged myself out of bed and opened the door to see Louis and Harry standing there, a magazine in hand.

There was a picture of Kaylee and I all dressed up holding hands, the night of her mothers wedding. When I scanned down the page at the headline my eyes nearly popped out of my damn head. 'One Direction star Niall Horan knocked up  girlfriend, that's why they're engaged!'

"What the fuck is this?" I groaned ripping the magazine out of their hand to read the article.

"That's right guys, Niall Horan's fiancee Kaylee McKinley is pregnant! An anonymous insider told a journalist that 'yes indeed she is pregnant, or maybe just really fat... but I'm pretty sure she said pregnant!' So is the engagement all because of the baby, or does he really love her? You tell us!     Kaylee, back home in England, is going to have a hard time taking care of a newborn while her finace is off touring the world meeting beautiful women (who aren't pregnant) isn't that right?    Stay tuned for more gossip on this one direction boyband mates life and his upcoming family plans"

"Who told them?" I glared up at the two.

"None of us. You know we wouldn't do that mate. We love her, we know she wanted it a secret." Louis explained and he was right. She must've told someone else..

Alls I know is I don't want her to see this at all.
