Niall's POV

Oh for Gods sake Jen, why would you do this to me? I was so overcome with anger that she wanted to sabotage my relationship I hadn't even noticed Arabella who threw her pacifier at Laura, hitting her directly on the forehead. That kid has got skill.

"What did you just say, you bitch?" Laura glared at Jenny.

"No fighting." I grabbed Jenny's wrist, gently so I wouldn't hurt her, leading her outside. I may be angry at Jenny for telling Laura this, but I still could never hurt her. Ever.

"Right just go home now, okay? You've cause enough trouble for one day." I said opening the door and gently pushing her forward,

"Niall I-"

"No, just leave oh my God." He rolled his eyes which made Laura smirk and wave. I rolled my eyes at Laura then as well, while Jenny picked up the pacifier that Arabella had thrown before she walked out the door.

"Bye Bella." I waved to her.

"Ta-ta." She waved at me and giggled. I smiled softly before shutting the door and turning to Laura who was standing with her arms folded, obviously waiting for an explanation.

"Laura I-"

"Did you actually make out with her?" She raised her eyebrows at me. I sighed deeply, nodding my head not having the heart to lie to her. There was no point lying, it wasn't going to help me in this situation anyways.

"I did, I'm sorry." I whispered, looking down at my feet in guilt.

"Why would you do that?" She asked, a tear rolling down her cheek. I sighed deeply, not knowing what to respond.

"I- I don't know." I admitted, blushing sheepishly.

"Well, did you want to kiss her?" She questioned. Yes.. I mean no.

"N-no." I stammered.

"Did you enjoy it?" She asked. A lot more than when I kiss you, Laura, but for your sake, no I didn't enjoy it.

"No." I responded. She just sighed and ran a hand through her hair, shaking her head in disbelief.

"Niall, why would you do this to me? She's your ex, I'm your girlfriend now, you need to treat me like that." She folded her arms.

"Well, at least people finally know we're dating, just like you wanted. So I mean, look on the bright side." I smiled, not knowing how she would react to this really but I was willing to try anything.

"Niall, that's besides the point." She sighed deeply, rubbing her forehead with her hand. "She may know we are dating, but she also knows you made out with her and that's giving her false hope." She said.

"Look, Laura, can we please just forget this, go out for dinner and I promise we will have a good time." I assured her, but she didn't seem too interested. "I'll make it up to you." I pleaded. It was a promise made in sincerity, but I knew the chances of me actually keeping it were improbable. She isn't an easy woman to please.

"How many times have you kissed her since we were together?" She asked. "Answer that truthfully and then we can go out for dinner." She raised her eyebrows at me. My eyes widened for a moment and I bit on my lip. Fuck, what do I say? Twice.. but she will slaughter me if I tell her that, won't she?

I exhaled deeply and ran a hand through my hair. "Just once." I lied, feeling the back of my throat become dry. I was never a great liar. It makes me feel guilty, when it comes to things like this anyways, issues that matter.

"Really?" She asked, looking somewhat relieved. I just nodded sullenly and grabbed my coat, in the hopes we could leave now and not speak of this ever again.

"So can we go now?" I asked.

"If you promise you'll never kiss her again?" She questioned. I nodded in response and began putting my coat on. She came over and wrapped her arms around me tightly, burying her face in my chest. I rubbed her back and hugged her back just as tight, burying my face in her hair. It didn't smell like fruit, much like Jenny's would. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I didn't know if it was the guilt of what I done, or the fact I was here with Laura and forced Jenny to leave.

Maybe a mixture of both.

In saying that, she attempted to sabotage my relationship, I really shouldn't be wasting my tears on her. We are no longer together and she shouldn't be trying to break Laura and I up. Although, you could say I was sabotaging my own relationship when I made out with Jenny.

It may of been a subconscious move.

"Ready to go?" I looked down at Laura.

"Yeah, I just want you to know," She peered up at me. "that I love you so so much. You're the first and only man who ever put effort into a relationship for me and I want to thank you for that." She whispered which made a lump grow in my throat. I just nodded, kissing her gently and then pushing her away to grab my car keys.

"Come on then." I quietly said, opening the door and allowing her to exit first before locking the door behind me and leaving as well.

Jenny's POV

When I left Niall's house, I had to stop once I got on the motor way. I just sat and broke down, crying into my hands. I am so goddamn stupid, why would I do that to Niall! He's going to hate me even more now that I attempted to sabotage his relationship.

It wasn't a vindictive move against Niall in that moment, I just wanted Laura to shut up, but I guess my brain did not filter what I was going to say. I should have thought about it. But no, stupid Jenny and her big mouth.

I looked back to Arabella who was just watching me, sucking on her thumb and cuddling her snuggie. I shouldn't be crying in front of her. She needs a strong mommy. "I'm sorry Bella." I sighed deeply, running a hand through my hair.

"Love you." She beamed, even though it sounded more like "Ov-oo" I still knew what she meant. I knew she was trying to make me feel better. She's so intuitive already.

"I love you too, Bella." I smiled softly, wiping my eyes and checking my reflection in the mirror. "Do you want to stop for ice-cream on the way home?" I asked her. She of course nodded to this, getting all excited.

I didn't particularly want to see anybody right now, but why should my little girl suffer just because I made a mistake?

Once she got her ice-cream, she thankfully, fell asleep on the way home in the car. When I got her home I changed her into her pyjama's and tucked her into her crib, kissing her forehead before leaving her.

I sighed as I left the room, recalling Niall, as he well, he designed that nursery for her. Everything just reminds me of him. I feel as though I'm never going to get over him. I want to move on in life, but whenever I try, it either doesn't work out as we all know from Noah, or I just don't want to. I don't want to leave him in the past because I want him in my future, but he's not going to be in it, is he?

Definitely not now, after what I've done to him today. I was such a bitch, I wouldn't be surprised if he never speaks to me. I wouldn't blame him either. If he tried to do that to one of my relationships, I wouldn't talk to him either.

He's happy and I need to accept that, that he has moved on and is living his life with Laura now. As much as it disgusts me to think of that, I have to accept it and I can't hold grudges, neither to Niall, nor Laura.

I can't treat her any different at work just because of this, that would be the childish thing to do and that just isn't me. Well, I guess that can be debated after what I done today to hurt her. We all make mistakes but it is how we deal with those errors in judgement that show out true character.

I'm going to be the bigger person. I'm not going to hold any grudges, I'm just going to try pick myself up and move on. As best I possibly can anyways.

Niall's POV

When we got there, Laura was rather jittery and excited. I wasn't sure why, then it sunk in.. she thought I was going to propose to her. God, am I about to disappoint her.

As we ate, I was rather silent, allowing her to do the majority of the talking. I just added in a grunt here or a nod of approval there. As bad as I felt over what happened, I didn't want to be here with her, I wanted to curl up in bed, alone and just dwell on my mistakes.

When dessert came, Laura peered at it curiously, digging her spoon into it and gravelling around as though searching for something. I ran a hand over my face when I realised she was probably looking for a ring. The look of disappointment a few moments later confirmed to me my accusations were correct.

It made me feel even more guilty than I already did.

To try and counteract the guilt, I drank. A considerable amount. We all know I'm a sappy drunk, I often cry, this case was no different. My drunken state had me feeling even more guilty than I did sober, not a good thing.

When dessert was over Laura said we had better get home. I just nodded, she drove us and the whole way home I was apologising over and over for what I had done. She kept assuring me it was fine, although she wasn't even convincing me intoxicated.

When we arrived home, she looked rather disheartened, as the surprise I had spoken about, never occurred. Then my drunken mind came up with the best solution to our problem. Drunk people and solutions, never the best ones, least to say.

"Wait there, I got your surprise." I smiled at her, kissing her gently. She just sighed but nodded, not thinking I was going to give her the best surprise. At the time, I thought this was the best solution. I saw no other direction.

I came downstairs a few moments later, stumbling a little but managing to get there without hurting myself or anyone else.

"Hi Laura." I giggled and she rolled her eyes again.

"Niall, just get to it, what do you want?" She questioned, running a hand through her hair. I giggled but then burped, ruining the moment a little. "Well excuse you." She sarcastically said.

I wobbly got down on one knee, almost falling but I managed. Laura's eye widened then when I pulled out a box from my pocket. The box which contained Jenny's ring. Told you, my drunk solutions were not the best.

"Laura, I haven't known ye all that long, mean like, almost a year maybe, not too sure myself." I shrugged, not making this romantic in any sense. "But I wanna make ye happy 'cause well, if I don't, you're gonna kill me." I smiled which just made her roll her eyes.

"Anyways, here, d'ya wanna marry me?" I asked, holding the ring up. I was not fully aware of the commitment I was making, but either way, I was going to regret this significantly in the morning.

"Niall, are you serious?" She squealed. In this moment, the rational thing I could have done was said 'no', but of course, we all know, I didn't.

"Yeah, mean if you wanna." I shrugged, wobbling a little on my leg. "Can ye hurry up? I need to fart and I don't wanna ruin the moment." I told her.

"Yes Niall, I'll marry you." She squealed again, letting me slip the ring onto her finger, it fit perfectly surprisingly.

Oh, Niall James Horan, what the fuck did you do? You're going to regret this so much.
