Wrecking Ball
Chapter 23
I quickly got ready for bed, brushed my hair and wiped my make up off and collapsed into bed. After a few minutes I heard the front door opening and closing signalling everyone leaving. I heard footsteps approaching my door and the click of my door opening and closing. I knew who my visitor was but I didn’t care. I wanted to be held and my sore knuckles kissed better.
Harry stood next to the bed and looked down at me for permission. I pulled the covers back and he removed his suit jacket, tight jeans and shirt leaving him in just his boxers. He crawled into bed and pulled me close into him so we were spooning and he started kissing my shoulder lightly and rubbing my back. I fell asleep surrounded by Harry’s warmth and love.
I woke up the next morning and Harry was gone and so was his pile of clothes on the floor. He must have got up early and gone to the gym as he had a fight tonight. Shit. Louis and Niall are fighting tonight. Jesus Christ. I swung my legs out of bed and rubbed my forehead. Niall hadn’t fought in a long time.
I got dressed, fixed my hair and makeup and went on the search for food. I walked into the kitchen and Louis was passed out on the floor surrounded by bottles. I rolled my eyes and walked over to him kicking him hard in the stomach trying to wake him up. He groaned and opened his eyes. I bent low by his face.
‘You need to call off the fight and back off of Grace.’ I demanded.
Louis blinked a few times trying to work out who it was before sitting up and leaning against the counter.
‘What if I don’t want to? Going to punch me again?’ Louis slurred a little and rubbed his head.
‘I might do worse next time.’ I smiled sweetly at him.
Louis laughed sarcastically and got to his feet and started rummaging in a cupboard for something to dull his hangover. I followed him and stood close behind him.
‘This isn’t going to work Louis. Grace isn’t going to suddenly fall in love with you if you beat the shit out of her boyfriend.’ I folded my arms across my chest.
‘You just need to keep out of it. It’s between me and Niall now.’ Louis turned around and walked out of the front door.
It was the day of Grace’s first appointment at the doctors and we were heading there before Niall joined us so she could get the results for her paternity test. Grace hadn’t told Niall that she was doing this but she had managed to get a hair sample from him. I have no idea how without him realising.
I held Grace’s hand as we waited for her name to be called. She was shaking and looked very pale. I tried to calm her but nothing seemed to be working. Soon her name was called and we followed the nurse into a room and we waited for the doctor.
‘Miss Watts?’ The doctor walked into the room and smiled at Grace. ‘I hope we are well today. Here are the results of the test you requested.’
Grace sat still staring at the envelope not moving so I leant forward taking it from him and slipping it into my bag. We had decided to look tonight after we had seen the scan. There was a knock at the door and Niall slid in apologizing for interrupting.
‘You must be Mr Horan.’ The doctor held his hand out and Niall shook it politely. ‘Well shall we get on it with it then.’ The doctor smiled and pulled the ultrasound machine towards Grace who was now lying on the bed.
The doctor was moving his scanner around on her tummy for a few minutes trying to find a picture on the screen. Niall was sat on a chair next to Grace holding her hand.
‘Ah ha here we go.’ I peered at the screen and all you could see was a little heart beat beating away.
‘That’s my baby’ Niall said with a tear escaping his eye.
I decided to walk to the gym and see Harry as it was only a few minutes away from the hospital. I walked in and the gym was full as always but I found Harry almost instantly as he was in a ring fighting and training for tonight. I positioned myself next to ring and watched Harry fight for a little bit before he realised I was watching and slapped his partner on the back walking him out of the ring.
‘Fancy a turn.’ Harry shouted down to me leaning against the ropes.
I laughed. ‘I can’t fight.’
‘I beg to differ after seeing you yesterday with Louis. That was impressive.’ Harry smirked at me.
‘What can I say? My dad taught me to defend myself. Anyway I have to go but I’ll see you tonight.’ I turned around walking out the door.
The flat was empty when I got back as Louis hadn’t come back yet so I text Grace letting her know she could come round. We were now sat in the kitchen with the brown envelope between us in silence.
‘Do you want me to do it?’ I asked.
Grace bit her lip and looked up at me. ‘No I should.’ She hesitated before grabbing the envelope and tearing the top off removing the one piece of paper from it.
Grace held the paper in front of her and her eyes scanned it quickly before she dropped her head and held it out for me. I quickly scanned through it as well looking for the information I needed.
DNA taken from Mother’s blood and DNA taken from Mr Niall Horan is not a match.
Harry stood next to the bed and looked down at me for permission. I pulled the covers back and he removed his suit jacket, tight jeans and shirt leaving him in just his boxers. He crawled into bed and pulled me close into him so we were spooning and he started kissing my shoulder lightly and rubbing my back. I fell asleep surrounded by Harry’s warmth and love.
