Niall's POV

I arrived at Jenny's offices with Arabella, I had to leave her back with Jenny soon but first, I had a meeting with Laura so Bella was tagging along.

"This is where yer mammy worked before you were born." I smiled down at her. "She will be back here when you're a little older." I told her as I carried her down the hallway to Laura's office.

"Hey Horan." She smiled.

"Hi Barbie." I responded with a sweet smile.

"Don't call me Barbie, asshole." She rolled her eyes. "Oh is this the baby?" Laura asked when I walked in closer, coming over and looking at Bella

"No, this is the monkey I bought." I rolled my eyes and so did she.

"What's her name?"

"She's a Bella." I giggled at my own joke. "I mean- Arabella." I corrected myself quickly before she could say anything.

"She's gorgeous, lovely name too. You didn't do too bad Horan." She nudged me and I chuckled softly, shifting Arabella to my other arm then.

"So I have a good ides, that I think will work." I smiled, leading Laura to the board room so we could sit at a table together and talk about this. "You know those like beauty boxes that come out like every month, some girls get them I don't know what they're called." I shrugged.

"Yeah, I know what you're on about. You get sent like samples of makeup and other beauty products to try for like ten pounds a month?" She questioned. At least she knows one thing anyways.

"Yeah, that. Well I was thinking what if we done that with Jenny's products? Like put samples of some of her products in a box every month and send it out. Like charge maybe i don't know like ten or fifteen pound so people can try the products for a small price and if they really like them they will buy the full sized then." I say and Laura smiled.

"You are genius Horan." She said as I rocked Arabella gently in my arms when she began to get fussy.

"Isn't it such a good idea?!" I smiled proudly. "See I need your help, you're a girl so you can design a girly box and I'll get onto production to start making small sample sizes for the box. Work out what we could put in it for that much and then we can start making money." I giggled.

"Why didn't we think of this before?" She questioned and I leaned back in my seat and smirked.

"You aren't as smart as your man Horan here." I smirked cockily, resting my left leg on my right knee. Just then Bella began to cry loudly so I sighed and sat up. "Okay, she's hungry I think." I say realising it was her feeding time but I had no bottles with me. Fuck.

"Is there any milk in the canteen?" I asked Laura to which she shrugged.

"Usually."

"Okay, I'll be back." I say and take Arabella downstairs to the canteen. I looked around but only say cartoons of chocolate milk... I can't give a baby chocolate milk... can I?

She began crying louder and I groaned, asking one of the workers if there was milk to which they told me they'd run out. I grabbed a cartoon of chocolate milk and quickly left the room. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I came back up to the board room, sitting down with Bella and getting her bottle out which I filled with the chocolate milk.

"Niall, what are you doing?" Laura asked as I screwed the cap on her bottle.

"Feeding the baby." I shrugged and pressed the nipple of the bottle to her mouth, which she began drinking immediately. I chuckled when she seemed to drink this quicker than her usual milk. Guess she has a sweet tooth like her mammy.

"You're hardly feeding your newborn baby chocolate milk?!" She exclaimed.

"Well, I mean, I am feeding her." I pointed out.

"Niall, you don't feed a newborn chocolate milk!"

"Laura calm your tits." I took a look at her tits after I said that but looked up at her then to see her looking at me with raised eyebrows. "Look, she was thirsty, there was no other milk. It won't do her any harm, it's not like I'm feeding her beer or anything." I rolled my eyes.

"Surprised you're not." She said, sitting back in her seat. I finished feeding Arabella as we chatted about my idea.

"So, you're up for it and you'll help?" I asked her, smiling as I burped Arabella.

"Yes, I'll help but if this doesn't work out, you're taking the blame." She told me. Pfft, if this doesn't work out. Of course this is going to work out, it's probably the best idea the business has had since it started.

"Well, I'll be back in a few days and we can start the planning." I say and stand up. "I gotta get Bella home on time or I'll be in trouble." I said and picked up her nappy bag before starting to leave the room.

"Wait, I have a question." She caught me by the forearm and looked up at me. I gave her a look as though telling her to continue. "Do you maybe want to go out for a few drinks sometime?" She questioned.

"Wouldn't that be a little weird." I chuckled, shifting the nappy bag on my shoulder. "I mean, you're my wife's employee. I won't ever get her back if I go out with you."

"No, no, not as like a couple, just as like friends." She slowly said. I nodded unsurely and bit on my lip.

"Yeah, I'm going to have to pass. There's only one woman I want and she's currently waiting for me to drop our baby off with her." I said, making for the door again.

"Can you - can you maybe just think about it?" She asked. "Like, you have my number now anyways so if you want to, just text me." She smiled.

"I don't think I will, sorry though. It would just be a little weird, I hope you understand."

"I do." She nodded, a slight blush appearing on her cheeks. I opened the door then and smiled at her, making Arabella wave by moving her tiny hand.

"Bye Horan." She called, chuckling at me as I walked out.

"Bye Barbie." I smiled, looking back at her just long enough to see her offended face. I chuckled and kept going before she could kill me.

Jenny's POV

I looked out the window when I heard Niall's car pull into the driveway. He's late. I went to the door to get Arabella, opening the door to see him standing there with her and her bag.

"Here." He handed me her bag. "May I carry her in?" He questioned. I sighed but nodded, standing back and letting him into the house. He walked in with Bella and set her down in her bouncer then, buckling her in gently. He's so gentle with her, it made me smile.

"She hasn't got one of those at mine." He chuckled nervously, moving her bib so it was straight again. "I should probably get her one. She loves it." He stood up and turned to face me. I smiled softly and sighed.

"Yeah, you probably should." I said, pushing a stand of hair out of my face and looking down at Arabella. "Hi baby, did you have a good time with your daddy?" I asked her to which she smiled and gurgled, putting her fingers in her mouth.

"Yeah, she was good." He smiled, twiddling with his fingers. I nodded and smiled softly, taking off the hat Niall had obviously bought her.

"Is it okay if I go upstairs and grab a few more of my things?" He asked, rocking on his heels and nibbling on his lip. I nodded and he went upstairs to our old room, going to the closet where his clothes still were. Well, the ones I hadn't been wearing, I wear his clothes to bed every night. They smell like him.

He came downstairs a few moments later with his hands full of clothes. "Niall, do you maybe want to talk?" I asked, raising my eyebrows. He shrugged and went all shy.

"I didn't think you'd want to." He quietly said.

"Come on, sit down." I sat down on the couch and patted the empty space next to me. He tentatively sat down after placing his clothes on the armchair. "Okay, I'll listen." I said, expecting him to start ranting about how he didn't cheat but, he didn't.

"I don't have anything to say." He quietly said and shrugged, picking at his nails.

"Well, I'm sure you have a lot to say, considering you cheated." I folded my arms and he sighed deeply, running his hand through his hair.

"You know what? Forget it." He yelled, standing up much to my surprise. "Just fucking forget it!" He shouted, balling his fists at his side. "If you don't know me well enough to know I would never cheat on you then you're so not worth it." He lowered his voice when it seemed to be upsetting Arabella.

"Niall, I just saw the-"

"Yeah, you saw the pictures. I know you did Jenny." He sighed. "I explained that she was my therapist, or tried to but you wouldn't listen." He shook his head. "If you honestly think I cheated then what are we even doing here?"

"Niall, I didn't mean it like that. I meant do you want to talk about it and explain what happened." I sighed, running a hand over my face.

"Of course you didn't mean it like that." He rolled my eyes. "Look Jenny, if it's taken you this long to actually let me talk to you I'm not interested." He sighed. "You honestly think I would cheat on you and that hurts. You're the only woman I ever loved. I would never cheat on you and the fact you think I would shows a lot." He calmly stated.

"Niall I-"

"No, just forget it Jenny. This fight is over. I'll be back on Thursday afternoon for Arabella, if you need me to watch her any time between then just text me, but other than that I don't even want to hear from you." He shook his head dismissively. I felt my eyes filling with tears and nibbled on my lip.

"I was just confused." I whispered.

"Look, just forget about it now. You think I'm the type of person to cheat, so you honestly don't know me at all." He shook his head and walked to the door. I watched him walk away but I didn't stop him. I didn't know what to say, I didn't know what to do.

All I knew in that moment was the most important man in my life was walking out and I didn't know if he would ever come back.

I pushed back the tears when I heard Bella crying so I went to go tend to her, seeing she had gotten sick. I frowned when I saw her sick wasn't the usual milky kind.. it looked like chocolate milk.. Why does it look like chocolate milk?

I just cleaned her up and then cried. Even though I felt hurt by Niall, I've now realised I can't live without him. I can't.

Niall's POV

The fact she actually believes I cheated has made me realise something, she does not know me at all. After all these years together she thinks I would stoop so low. I have never done anything before to make her doubt me so it honestly hurts me so much that she would.

I sighed and turned on the car, beginning to make my journey back to my new house. My empty house.

Once home I went inside and tidied away Arabella's things to her nursery. I won't be needing this for a few days now. I went to her nursery and sighed. I hate this, I hate us not being together because it means that I am missing out on my daughter's life.

I put her favourite teddy into her crib and then stood staring at it's emptiness. Just how I felt inside right now without Jenny. I felt a tear roll down my cheek but I quickly wiped it away. I need to do something to get my mind off everything.

I didn't know whether I would regret this or not in the morning but it seemed like the most rational thing at the time. I took out my phone and texted Laura.

'If the offer still stands, I'm up for those drinks later tonight.'
