Please Stay With Me

“I love you Niall.” I whispered into his chest.

“I love ya too darlin.” He wrapped his hand around my waist and cuddled me tighter. I guess you could say things have gotten pretty serious between Niall and me. It all happened so quickly to be honest, I know most people say we are moving too fast but its different. Niall is completely different from any other guy I’ve ever dated. He’s is caring, sweet, genuine, romantic, funny, and the list goes on and on. To be honest I didn't expect for things to become serious, I was expecting just to go on a few dates here and there, and maybe fool around from time to time. I thought Niall was going to be your typical pop star, once he got wanted he would leave. But boy did he prove me wrong. I wasn't expecting to fall in love, it just happened. Niall and I spend every free ounce of time we have together, we enjoy each others company. we had such a good connection and we had so many things in common. We could talk for hours and never run out of things to say. Niall is the guy I needed to walk into my life. Now I know why it never worked out with any of those other assholes. Niall was amazing and I’m so glad he’s mine.

I woke up to an empty bed which I hated because Niall was always warm. He came in a few seconds later with a tray of breakfast. See its the little things like this that he does that make me fall even more in love with him every single day. He put the tray on my lap and he gave me a shy smile.

“Aww babe you didn't have to do this. I feel like I should be cooking for you.”

“No you cook for me everyday, I want you to relax today baby. Plus I wanted to do something nice for my girl.” I smiled at him and began eating the waffles he made, which were amazing. Niall is an amazing cook, he is always just too lazy to do it. He gave me a quick kiss and walked out of the room. He walked right back in two seconds later.

“Niall whats wrong. Why are you nervous?”

“I’m not… wait how do you know I’m nervous?”

“You’re pacing baby. You always pace around when your nervous.” I chuckled

“Fuck it! I’m doing this!”

“Doing what?” He climbed on the bed and laid on his side digging something out of his pocket. He pulled out a little black box.

“This.” He handed me the box and I was worried to be honest. I mean I love Niall more than anything but he wasn't asking me to marry him was he? I would even agree its too soon. I think he saw the worry in my eyes because he laughed.

“Don’t worry Rebecca. It’s not what you think it is. Just open it babe.” I opened the box to see a key.

“Um thank you for a key babe, its great I love it.” I said confused, why on earth would he give me a key?

“It’s not just any old key and its a key to my place. I figured you would want one because I know how waiting for me to get home and stuff is a pain and I figured you deserved your own key because Iwantyoutomoveinwithme.” He said the last part so fast I couldn't even understand him and the irish accent didn't help, but it was so cute I loved it.

“What was that?”

“I said I want you to move in with me.” He said shyly and his cheeks began to flush.

“You want me to move in?”

“Yeah ya know forget it. I understand if you think its too soon and don't want to an-” I cut him off with a kiss so he could relax.

“Niall shut up for two seconds. You didn't even let me answer.”

“Well I don’t want you to feel like you have to do this for me. You won’t hurt my feelings if you say no.”

“No, Niall I want to. I want to move in with you.” He leaned in and kissed me.

“Really babe? You want to move in! And with me?” He said making me chuckle.

“Of course I want to! I couldn't think of anyone else I’d rather live with.”

“I’m really happy Rebecca. I’m really happy with you. I love you so much.”

“I love you too Niall.” He smiled kissing me again passionately. “This is going to be great babe, you’ll have dinner ready for me every night when I come home.”

“Um Niall you are going to have to cook sometimes!” There was no way I was cooking for him everyday. I wasn't his wife! Yet…

“Fine we can take turns! Anything to get you to move in here I’d do it.”

“Anything?”

“Uh yeah?”

“Can I decorate it?”

“Whats wrong with it now!” He was clearly upset, this place was his “man cave” and he wasn't used to living with a woman.

“Nothing babe its just so manly! It needs a woman's touch. And don’t worry I wont change it up completely and I won’t do anything unless we agree on it.”

“Fine, just be patient with me babe, we have to take baby steps.”

“I know.” I kissed him and smiled. I never expected someone to make me as happy as Niall makes me. You don’t expect a person to come into your life and completely turn it upside down, in a good way. Niall makes me a better person and I’m so grateful to have him.

“What do you think about having like a party? Not like a big party just the guys and Gabby of course. Just to celebrate us moving in together? I mean they have seen my place but they haven't seen our place.” Just hearing him say our place makes my heart flutter.

“Yeah that sounds like a good idea Niall.”

“I’m glad you think so, we can tell them later. But first lets do something else.” I knew where this was going.

“Deal.” I winked at him and we had a morning and night filled with love making.

Gabriella’s P.O.V

“WHAT! Oh my gosh! When were you going to tell me?”

“I’m telling you now aren’t I?”

“Thats not the point Rebecca! Why didn't you tell me the day he asked you to move in!”

“I’m sorry Gabby, but we were busy all day, doing other things, if you know what I mean.”

“Uh okay too much info Becca.”

“He’s really good in bed also.”

“Rebecca!”

“You want to know any other time, and when I do tell you you are unappreciative!”

“Anyways when is this party that you were telling me about?”

“Tonight.”

“Tonight?”

“Yeah?”

“Rebecca you tell me the day of! What if I had plans?” Not that I did anyway. This was not like Rebecca, its part of being in love though. Things do tend to slip your mind more.

“I’m sorry! I told you Niall and I have been busy!”

“Yeah busy fucking each others brains out.”

“Gabby! Watch the mouth!”

“Sorry I couldn't help myself.” I laughed to myself.

“Gabriella can you please come tonight?”

“Of course I’ll be there.”

“Great! See ya tonight around 7?”

“Yup I’ll be there.”

“Yay! I love you!”

“Love ya too.”

“Bye!” I hung up the phone and went to tell Harry about the party. I honestly didn't want to go tonight, I could face Liam yet. It has only been about three weeks since our last run in. I had yet to tell him about the baby. Harry hasn't noticed anything either despite my constant morning sickness, weird cravings, and prenatal vitamins. Every time I even considered telling Liam, Harry’s face would pop into my mind. Damn why does Harry have to be such a good guy? It makes it that much harder to even want to tell him the truth. I am going to tell Liam, soon. I have to, my stomach is going to get bigger and this baby continues to grow every day. If I can push this off as long as I can, I will. I walked into the kitchen to find Harry eating my chocolate covered bacon again. He loves that stuff more than me I think.

“Babe this stuff is so good.”

“I can tell you like it since you've eaten almost a whole pound of chocolate covered bacon.”

“Its so good!” He said as he stuffed another piece in his mouth making me giggle.

“Well Rebecca and Niall are having a get together tonight at their place. Its starts around 7. Can you make it?”

“Um yeah. I might be like an hour late at the most, I’ve having a writing session with Ed tonight. Is that okay?”

“Yeah thats fine. I don't mind.” He kissed my cheek.

“I’m going to take a shower, if you want to join me.” He winked at me. There was no way I could take a shower with him. I couldn't take the chance of him noticing my small baby bump. I fake yawned.

“I’m would but I’m tired Harry.” He frowned

“Aww okay maybe next time.” I went to lay down and I guess I actually was tired because I fell asleep for about two hours. I woke up and Harry was already gone and it was already 6:30. Shit I was going to be late. I took a quick shower not even bothering to fix my hair. I let it dry in its natural waves. I was going to wear my favorite pair of skinny jeans but when I tried putting them on they wouldn't button. Damn it, this was happening already? I decided to put on leggings and a oversized sweater since it was colder outside today. I tried my best to hide my bump, it wasn't that big but I was still self conscience about it. I had a small pooch but I wasn't showing tremendously, yet. Thats why I couldn't let Harry see me naked or with just a t-shirt on because it accentuated my bump. I arrived at the party fifteen minutes late but only Louis was there when I got there. I greeted all of them and Zayn arrived soon after I did. Liam still hadn't gotten there which was strange, he was never late.

“Is Liam coming?” I was curious, not that I was in a rush to see him, I just wanted to know.

“Yeah, he said he was going to be late. He had to pick up Sophia.” I rolled my eyes.

“Why is she coming?”

“I tried not to invite her but Niall didn't want to upset Liam. I’m sorry.”

“Its fine, as long as she doesn't talk to me I’m good.”

“Hey where’s Harry?”

“Oh he said he would be a little bit late. He had a writing session with Ed today.”

“Well dinner is almost ready. Oh look who just arrived.” I looked over to see Liam and he was smiling. He looked gorgeous. I wanted nothing more but to run up and kiss him. Of course I couldn't do that. I saw a not so happy Sophia with that same frown she always seemed to have on her face. Liam greeted everyone in the living room and was laughing, he seemed happy. Liam stopped talking when he saw me, he looked at me like I was the only person in the room.

“Are you two just going to stare at each other all day or are you going to say hello?” Louis said causing me and Liam both to come out of our daze. Oh Louis, no matter what the situation his sass always remains present. Liam walked over to hug me, and I buried my face in his neck. He smelled so good. He pulled away and gave me a quick peek on my cheek, which made my cheeks redden slightly. I looked at Sophia who shot me a dirty look but I didn't care. I noticed she didn't have an engagement ring on her finger yet and that made me slightly happier. Maybe Liam didn't propose to her yet. Or maybe he did, but he hasn't told the boys yet so he asked her not to wear the ring. There were a million reasons, but as long as that ring wasn't on her finger for me to see I was happy.

“Hey everyone! Come sit down the food is ready.” Thank god for Rebecca. There was so much tension you could practically cut it with a damn knife. Everyone sat down and I sat next to Zayn since Harry wasn't here yet. Rebecca brought out plates to everyone. It looked like a chicken dish from what I could tell. As she placed the food in front of me it didn't take long for me to get a whiff of the chicken. I immediately felt nauseous. One thing people don't tell you about being pregnant is that morning sickness isn't just morning sickness, its all day sickness. Chicken has been one of those things to trigger my nausea but I thought I would be okay because I have been avoiding it. I was wrong, I suddenly felt like everything I had eaten earlier was going to come up and appear on the dining table.

“Excuse me.” I said and got up from the table as fast as I could. I didn't want to use the downstairs bathroom so I ran upstairs and luckily the first door I saw happened to be a bathroom. I threw up all of the contents in my stomach and moaned over the toilet. This sucked.

“Hey love are you okay?” I heard Rebecca come in and she patted my back.

“Yeah I’m fine. The smell of chicken just made me feel sick.”

“What? The smell? When my mom was pregnant with Scott the smell of chicken made her nauseous also. Wait… you're not? You’re not pregnant are you?” I couldn't lie to her. I was sick of lying, to everyone. Before I could even answer I burst into tears. She didn't say anything she just sat on the floor and hugged me. She let me cry on her shoulder and at this point comfort was what I needed. She helped me stand up off the floor and hugged me again but then looked at me with an excited expression.

“Why didn't you tell me? You’re pregnant! This is so great! You're going to be such a good mother I know it Gabby! What did Harry say when you told him? He’s excited right?!” Her asking about Harry made me cry even harder.

“Babe why are you crying? Harry loves you! I’ll know he’ll be very supportive!”

“Harry’s not the father Rebecca!” I sobbed and her face dropped.

“Fuck. Then who is Gabriella?”

“Liam. Liam’s the father.” I sobbed even harder,admitting the truth out loud made it hurt even worse. If it hurt me I didn't even want to know Harry’s reaction.

“Are you sure? How far along are you?”

“Three months as of yesterday.” I couldn't control my sobs, I know I looked like a mess. “Harry and I have always been careful, and that night I slept with Liam I don’t think he used any protection. I know this baby is Liam’s, Rebecca. There is no doubt about that.”

“Come here.” She pulled me into a hug. “We will figure this out together okay? You’re not alone here. Have you told Liam?” Before I could even answer we were interrupted. I felt my stomach drop as Liam walked in the bathroom.

“You’re three months pregnant with my baby and you didn't tell me?”

“Liam let me explain…”

“When did you plan on telling me? When the baby actually got here? Gabriella that baby is mine and you had no right to keep this from me! I’m the damn father for fucks sake!” He was angry,he's never yelled at me before. At least not as intensely as he is right now.

“Liam I wanted to tell you! I just couldn't because I didn't want to hurt Harr-”

“Gabriella this has nothing to do with Harry! This is between me and you! Did you ever think about how it would hurt me? To know that you’ve been carrying my baby and you didn't even tell me! I could have been there for you and you didn't even care enough to tell me about our baby!”

“Liam please don’t yell at me. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.”

“That seems to be your response to a lot of things now doesn't it? I’m sorry but I need to think. I have to go.”

“Liam wait…” He looked at me with sadden eyes and left.

I watched the man I love walk away from me. I feel like I betrayed him by keeping this from him, but in a way I’m glad he found out. This isn't the way I pictured telling him but I’m glad he knows. Now all I have left to do is wait, and the waiting period is what scared me the most.
