-Chapter 25
Niall's POV
Over the next few weeks Jenny refused to speak to me. I felt myself growing apart from her, and Arabella. All I wanted was to be there as much as I could be for the baby, especially now in her primal months, I mean, they're not small for long and I don't want to miss a second of her life.
Jenny has been letting me have her at the weekend though. She refuses to talk about anything other than the baby and if I try to talk to her, she just immediately shuts me down. It's like we don't even know each other any more and the only thing giving us any communication is the baby. If we didn't have her I don't think we would be talk at all right now.
I don't blame her for being angry, but she could at least listen to what I have to say instead of shooting me down constantly.
I was about to go and collect Arabella now to take her for the weekend. I put on some skinny jeans, boots and shirt, just the usual for when I didn't want to look like a hobo. I made my way to my old house which I let Jenny keep because I don't want her and Arabella out on the streets. Plus, Arabella is content in that house so I wouldn't want to unsettle her.
When I got there I knocked on the door and Jenny came, handing me Arabella and her bag. "Can we please talk?" I asked as I took the baby into my arms. Jenny didn't even look at me but I could see she was stressed out. She didn't look like my Jenny.
She looked exhausted, totally and utterly exhausted. She looked sickly pale as well. It almost made me cry when I saw her because it's partially my fault. If I hadn't of gone to therapy that photo never would of been taken in the first place.
"I'm so sorry Jenny. I didn't do anything with her I promise." I whispered, tears welling in my eyes. She just shook her head and shut the door again. I wanted to go and make sure she was okay. I wanted to come home and made sure she ate, made sure she got adequate sleep and to make sure she was happy but I knew she didn't want me anywhere near her.
I took Arabella home and sat on the couch with her between my legs. She was gurgling away with her fingers in her mouth. "Hi baby." I smiled and she looked up at me. She's only six weeks old but she's becoming so much more active and alert now. It's nice to see.
"What's wrong with your mammy? Is she okay?" I asked her to which she just kicked her legs and gurgled again. "I know she's not okay. I wish there was something I could do." I sighed. "Are you working her hard little lady?" I asked tickling her gently, smiling at her reaction. "I would be at home with you two if I could be but I can't I'm sorry." I pouted and leaned down, kissing her forehead.
"But I will try and get home. I'm not giving up on your mammy yet, or you for that matter." I bopped her nose, earning a smile from her, which was the first one I had seen anyways and Jenny never told me she had smiled for the first time. Not that Jenny had told me much about her anyways.
"You're smiling." I squeal and pick her up, holding her close to my chest before putting her back down between my legs because she seemed to like that.
"You want daddy home too, don't you." I smiled. "Daddy will try his hardest because he need to be there for you. I want to see you grow up and become the beautiful little girl you're becoming." I smiled and ran my hand through her hair. Her hair colour is changing. It was a dark colour when she was born but it seems to be going more blonde now, she's following her mother in that respect.
"You won't be a fake blondie like your dad will you?" I asked. "I'm an artificial one, as your mother likes to call it." I chuckled. "I love your mother. She really is a wonderful lady isn't she." I asked to which Bella showed a slight smile again, through her fingers.
"You love her too." I chuckle and then go get one of her bottles from the fridge which Jenny had prepared and sent with Bella. "And you love her boob milk." I say coming back, whilst shaking the bottle. "I love her boobs too." I mumble quietly.
I picked Arabella up then and began feeding her the bottle, whilst thinking of Jenny and how I could win her back. I really had no idea. I sat the whole time I was feeding Bella, trying to come up with some way I could maybe get her on my side.
Then it hit me.
"Your daddy is so smart." I smiled down at Bella who looked up at me, sucking on her pacifier. She looked so darn cute. "I'm gonna get your mammy back. Then maybe I'll be home with you two soon." I smiled and picked her up, giving her an eskimo kiss.
Jenny's POV
"You're sure he cheated?" Andrew asked as he opened a can of diet coke, sitting down next to me on the couch. He'd come over to keep me company for a while seeing as I was home alone now that Niall had the baby.
"Well, the pictures don't lie. He said it was his therapist but I don't believe him." I sighed. "Why would he want to keep that a secret from me? So what if he's going to therapy, it's nothing to hide, whereas cheating is." I say and Andrew nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, but maybe you should talk to him. I know this is killing you." He sighed. I knew it was too. I haven't been sleeping well and I haven't been eating much. I'm just so stressed out, being a single mom to a newborn, it isn't easy.
"I wanna go back to work soon." I sighed and then Andrew gave me a look.
"Yeah, about that. We're going to have to lay off a few workers." Andrew sighed. "Profits have been just going down and down since you left and it's not looking good for the business. I didn't want to worry you but it's only fair to tell you, seeing as it is your business." He told me. Great, one more thing I have to worry about.
"So what, you think we might lose the business?" I furrowed my eyebrows.
"I don't know, I mean it's possible. I don't want to say yes because I want to save it but it really isn't going well. We need our market to expand to the United States and because you lost those representatives it means we can't and yeah." He sighed, running a hand through his hair.
"We can't lose it." I shook my head. I know Andrew puts as much into this business as Niall and I have, so if we go down, he's coming with us. I don't want to do that to him, he's been such a loyal friend and coworker since I started the business.
"We won't then, we're smart people. I'm sure we will be able to save it." He smiled, running a hand through his hair. "Now, back to Niall, what are you going to do?"
"I don't know. I don't want to give him another chance, I can't trust him. But he's my husband and we have a baby together so at the same time I do want to save it." I sighed.
"You don't have to stay with him just because you have a baby together." He said. "Take away the baby and pretend you don't have her, would you still want to be with him?"
"Yes." I quietly said. Even though Niall has hurt me, he is the love of my life. I hate living without him, I miss him all the time and for silly little things. Like when I make his favourite dinner or when I go to brush my teeth in the morning, he's usually standing there next to me but now he's not and it just doesn't feel right.
"Well, talk to him. Let him explain." Andrew insisted and I shrugged.
"I don't want to let him off that easy. I want him to know he hurt me. I don't want to take him back that easy because I know if I talk to him I probably will crack and will take him back."
"Don't you think he suffered enough over the past few weeks?" Andrew raised his eyebrows at me and I shook my head.
"No, not for cheating, no."
Niall's POV
"Hi Bella." Louis smiled who had come to visit me. "She's so cute." He cooed, picking her up and bopping her nose. "She has your eyes mate."
"Gay." I scoff. I don't think she has my eyes, I mean they're blue, but hers are much prettier than mine.
"She has Jen's hair though." I smile softly just from the mention of her name.
"Yeah, she's turning into a little blondie on us, she's not artificial like her father." He chuckled, looking down at her and running a hand through her hair.
"Maybe I'm dying the kids hair, you don't know what I do in my spare time." I smirked and so did he.
"Wank over Jenny." He smirked. Well, he wouldn't be wrong...
"Shut up." I laugh and take my baby back from him. "No profanities in front of the kid." I say covering her ears which just made her gurgle.
"Says the one who just told me to shut up." He rolled his eyes. "Twenty pounds says that kids first word will be fuck." Louis chuckled. "I'm surprised you actually feed her milk. Thought you would of fed her beer."
"Louis, she's a baby for Gods sake."
"Niall, it was a joke for Gods sake." Louis mocked me when I didn't laugh at his joke. He was obviously offended I didn't find him funny.
"I know, but you're not funny." I informed him, handing him back Bella when he made grabby hands for her.
"I just love her so much she's so cute and cuddly." He smiled brightly. "So hows things with you and Jenny anyways?" He asked me, rubbing Arabella's back.
"Not great." I admitted. "She still won't even talk to me. Won't believe me when I say I wasn't cheating." I sighed, running a hand through my hair.
"Do you think was there camera's there?" He asked.
"Well, obviously what else took the picture?"
"No, I mean like inside, that would of gotten her trying it on with you and you trying to move away." He said and I narrowed my eyes at him, wondering what he was trying to get at.
"Well, I mean, it's possible but there's no way she would let me get the footage." I said.
"Who says we have to ask, we could just go casually stroll in and help ourselves to it." He smirked.
"Louis." I shook my head. "We can't do that."
"What's stopping you?" He questioned and I thought about it. Nothing. And I guess if it helps me get Jenny back it would be a bonus.
We need to be a family again. I need to be with both my girls.
