Niall:

"Don't wait up." Her harsh words ran through my brain as I did exactly what she told me not to do.

I tried calling her, but of course she never answered. There was a knock on the door, "Come in." I said and Kiersten's mom opened the door.

"Do you want anything to eat or drink? I know you're going to up all night waiting for her."

I sighed and nodded, "I think I'm just going to run to the shops and get something."

"Okay do you know how to get there?"

"No, but it's okay. I could use a drive anyway." I said standing up. She nodded and I slipped past her grabbing a jumper from the chair next to the door.

I got in our rental car and drove into town. I spotted a shop and went inside. I bought a packet of crisps, some sweets, and a six pack of Redbull.

I got back in the car and just drove thinking about everything that happened. After I figured out how I wanted to apologize for being a jerk, I drove back to Kiersten's mom's house to wait for Kiersten to come back. I had figured that she would be back soon but boy was I wrong.

She stumbled down the stairs giggling at herself around six am. I hadn't any sleep and to saw I was angry was an understatement. "Where the hell have you been?" I asked jumping up from my spot on the end of the bed. "I've been worried sick about you! How you could you be out until six am and not call me?!"

She chucked her shoes by the suitcases, glared, at me and walked to the bathroom stripping her clothes off along the way, all without saying a word.

I sighed and dropped back down on the bed. I heard puking and immeaditly went to the bathroom. I held her hair back as she puked and gently rubbed her back. When she finished I picked her up and brought her back into the bedroom. I slid her into the bed and ran downstairs. I got her a Gatorade and some crackers. I wet a cool rag to put on her forehead and grabbed some Tylenol for her.

I gently put the rag on her forehead and put the rest on the table for when she woke up. I climbed into the bed next her and expected her not to pay any attention to me, but to my surprise she curled her body around mine. I wrapped my arms around her and I sighed happily. I pressed a kiss to the top of her head and quickly fell asleep.

I woke up later my something wet hitting my face. I opened my eyes and saw Kiersten getting back into bed, "Oh sorry, babe. Did I wake you up?"

"Your hair is cold and wet." I groaned making her giggle a little bit, making me smile.

"Sorry, I just took a shower." She said laying down and lacing our fingers together. "I'm sorry about how I acted, Ni." She whispered.

"Don't apologize. You did nothing wrong. It was all me. I seriously don't know what was going through my head when I acted like that. I would never cheat on you. I love you so much. That's what this means." I said tapping the diamond on her ring finger. "I am so ashamed of how I acted and I'm sorry that I embarrassed you in front of your family and made you feel like that. I have a plan to make it up to you but please never do that to me again. I was so scared and worried that something happened to you."

"I'm sorry. Kali and I just went to the bar and saw all the boys. I promise I was safe."

I just nodded kissing her forehead, "Can we go back to sleep now? I didn't go to sleep until after you did."

"You seriously stayed up all night waiting for me?"

"Of course I did. I had to make sure that you were okay."

She smiled giving me a kiss, "I love you, Niall."

"I love you too, baby. Now sleep." I said pulling her so she was lying down directly on top of me. She snuggled into me with her head in the crook of my neck. I lightly ran my fingers up and down her spine until we both fell asleep.

"Niall, come on just tell me where we are going." Kiersten begged in the passenger seat.

"Can't sorry, boo." I said driving down the back road. My phone was in my lap and was giving me directions back to what I set up for Kiersten and I earlier when she had run to the store with Kali.

I turned down the final road and parked the car. I put a hat on Kiersten's head and then pulled one over my own head to keep it warm.

I got out and laced my fingers with Kiersten's and lead her onto the worn path that led us through the woods to my apology.

We got there and I smiled as I saw Kiersten's reaction.

On the beach next to a lake I had set up a ton of blankets and stuff for us along with stuff to make s'mores on the large bonfire that all I had to do was light. I lead Kiersten to the blankets and she sat down while I quickly got the fire started.

I climbed under the blanket next to her and grabbed a stick. I made us both a s'more. We cuddled and ate them happily. I laughed as Kiersten kissed the gooey marshmallow off my lips.

We ate some more and cuddled for a while before Kiersten looked at me, "You know what we haven't done yet?"

"What's that?" I asked twirling a piece of her hair around my finger.

"Make up sex." She said as if it was nothing.

I stared at her for a second before attacking her lips making her laugh.

"I can't believe we just did that." Kiersten laughed putting her clothes back on.

"Me either it was fun though." I said stealing a kiss before I pulled my shirt back on.

We cuddled a bit more until we decided that we were both too cold to sit there any longer. Kiersten packed up all the pillows and blankets and I put out the fire with a bucket of water from the lake.

We got back to Kiersten's house and hung out with her family for a while. The next day we all went to church and then all of Kiersten's family came for dinner and we played games and had a lot of fun.

The next day Kiersten begged her mom to let the twins skip school and we took them on a shopping trip at the Mall of America for new toys, clothes and stuff. We wanted to spoil them a bit. "I think I've been here before." I said as I walked in holding Kiersten's hand. Bob, who had come with us to Wisconsin but had just attended outings with us, was currently carrying both of the twins.

"You did a signing here. I came here like a week later."

"Really? Why didn't you come to the signing?" I asked following Bob into some kids clothing store. We let the kids run around picking out whatever they wanted and Kiersten and I made sure that it was their size and wasn't completely ridiculous. Sabrina was not allowed to get the twelve tutus that she wanted.

Kiersten shrugged, "I don't know."

We shopped for a while before Bob took out the shopping bags we had built up so far while we got wristbands to go on the rides at Nickelodeon Universe. "Niall!" Sabrina shouted, "Look that's you!" I turned my head and sure enough there was my face plastered on a wall advertising the new 1D store that would be moving in.

"Yep. That's me, and Liam, Louis, Harry, and Zayn." I said trying to lead us away from it so I wouldn't be recognized.

"Kiersten?" Sabrina asked as we tried to pull them away from the wall.

"Yeah, Sabrina?"

"Why isn't Harry your boyfriend anymore?"

Kiersten looked at me for help but I just shrugged not knowing what to say. How do you explain to a seven year-old everything that happened? Kiersten sighed and picked Sabrina up placing her on her hip. "Because I don't love, Harry like that anymore, I love Harry but like a friend."

"Do you love Harry like a cousin? Because you can't marry your cousin, you know."

Kiersten laughed, "Yeah, I love Harry like a cousin."

"And you love Niall like you want to marry him?"

Kiersten laughed again, "Niall and I are married, Bean."

"Oh. When can I get married? Can I marry Niall, too?"

"You can get married when you're as old as me. And no, I don't share Niall with anyone. Not even you."

Sabrina pouted, "I'm gonna tell mom you won't share with me."

"Sabrina, stop acting like you're four. You'll find someone to get married to when you're old enough. For now stay away from boys. They're icky."

Sabrina laughed and pointed at me and JJ, "Haha you're icky!"

"Sabrina, be nice." Kiersten scolded her as we got in line to get on the Dora Ferris Wheel.

JJ and Sarina rode in one cart and Kiersten and I rode in another. "Is it inappropriate if I kiss you at the top of a Dora the Explorer Ferris Wheel?"

"No," Kiersten said with a grin, "But I think we better stay away from the Wonder Pet's ride. That could be scandalous." I laughed and when we got to the top I kissed her sweetly.

When we got off the Ferris Wheel Bob took the kids on some of the kiddie rides while Kiersten and I rode roller coasters and the more adult rides.

Everyone was starting to get hungry so we headed off to find food. We settled into a random restaurant we decided on. "Jeramiah do you know what you want to order?" Kiersten asked him.

"Yes, Kiersten. A grilled cheese, please." He said not looking up from the picture he was diligently coloring.

"Sabrina?"

"Chicken strips." Sabrina said looking up from her coloring.

"Aren't you going to ask me what I want to order?" I asked sticking my bottom lip out.

Kiersten kissed my lips and smiled, "I don't think I can remember everything you want to order. And I was just checking to make sure they knew what they wanted. I'm not going to order for them."

"Fine." I huffed crossing my arms.

"Stop being a child." She said rolling her eyes. I started tickling her and didn't stop until she agreed to listen to what I wanted to order.

JJ and Sabrina both gave us their pictures to hang on our fridge back at home. After lunch we went through the aquarium and saw all the cool animals. JJ tried to pick a turtle up from the touching pool. He put it back when the man running the station yelled at him that he can't pick them up only touch. When the man turned around JJ tried to put the turtle in his pocket, but luckily Kiersten caught him in time. I found it hilarious but we all agreed that that was enough of the aquarium. We did a little bit more shopping and then decided to head home.

I carried JJ into the house and set him in the John Deere tractor bed Kiersten and I had bought him for his seventh birthday. I went back out and got Sabrina to put in her princess bed while Kiersten carried in all the shopping bags.

We only spent a couple more days in Hayward before going south to see the rest of Kiersten's family and Leslie and Drew. We said goodbye to Kiersten's family in Hayward and I drove south because Kiersten cried and then fell sleep.

My hand rested lightly on Kiersten's thigh as we ate dinner with her dad's side of the family. We talked lightly and made jokes before heading into the living room to watch the American football game.

Kiersten and I settled into the air mattress that had been set up for us in the basement. She rested her head on my chest as I softly sang random songs that came to mind.

The next day I was playing Kiersten's niece Willow. Preston's ex-girlfriend had a baby a couple months before the wedding but wouldn't allow Preston to take Willie, as everyone had been calling her mostly to make her mom mad, to Italy with him so it was the first Kiersten and I were meeting her. She was a little cutie. She smiled up at me from where she was resting on my legs and I smiled back.

Kiersten was out on the porch getting her camera and tripod set up to take family pictures. We also took them in Hayward with her other family and planned on doing the same in Ireland so we could hang them all up in our house back home on a wall in the living room Kiersten and decided to use for pictures.

"Come on, Willie. Time to go take pictures." Larissa said coming and taking the baby away from me.

I joined everyone outside and wrapped my arm around Kiersten's waist as we waited for everyone to join us. "Willie's a cutie, huh?" Kiersten asked.

"Yeah she is. She's really calm too. I hope our kids are calm."

Kiersten laughed, "Why? You're not calm, like ever."

"That's not true!" I said laughing.

"Yeah, yeah. Go get in your spot. I have to get the timer set." She said pushing me away. I sat down in the chair that I had been told to. Kiersten clicked the button and quickly ran over to me and sat down in my lap. I wrapped my arms around her waist and smiled for the camera.

It was really nice outside for being November so everyone was just relaxing on the porch after all the pictures were finished. I was sitting next to Kiersten's grandma Bonnie when my stomach made a loud noise. She looked at me and laughed, "We're going out to dinner soon but there's a container of cookies in the kitchen. Go get some."

"Thank you." I said getting up and slipping into the house. I went to the kitchen and found Kiersten sitting on a stool. Her back was turned to me so I couldn't see was she was doing. "Babe?" I asked. Kiersten turned around and looked at me and I could see the tears in her eyes. "What's wrong?" I asked gently hugging her to my chest and combing my fingers through her hair.

"She looks so awful." She whispered to my chest. I sighed, kissing the top of her head. I knew she was talking about her grandma who had liver cancer. She was still getting chemo treatments but she was getting weaker. She had stayed strong longer than the doctors had expected her to but I had to admit that she looked worse than even when I saw her at the wedding.

"Baby, I know it's hard seeing her like this but she's still her. I wish I knew what else to tell you, but your grandma is a strong woman, that's where you get it from. So instead of sitting in here let's be out there spending time with her, yeah?"

Kiersten nodded wrapping her arms around my middle and squeezed me tightly. "Thank you, Ni."

"You're welcome, baby. That's what I'm here for." I said kissing the top of her head, again. "Now your grandma told me about a container of cookies, that I could eat." I said letting her go. She laughed and pointed to the container next to her. I grabbed for four me and handed one to Kiersten.

We went out to dinner a couple hours later and we were just sitting there talking after we finished our food. Kiersten was holding Willie and leaning against me and I lightly rubbed her shoulder.

I could see her family smiling at us and I could tell that they wanted to ask when we were having kids, but they never did. We finished up the dinner and Preston and Larissa took Willow back to their mom's house for their family Thanksgiving which was being held the day before Thanksgiving and would be back in time to celebrate with us too.

We all went to see a movie. We ended up splitting up and going to see different movies. The girls went and saw the latest chick flick while I went and saw the latest action movie with the boys. We finished the movie and I had to admit it was really good. We met back up with the girls in the lobby and I saw Kiersten was crying. I laughed at her and she glared at me, "Shut up! It was said." She said punching me in the arm.

I laughed and pulled her into a hug, "Sorry, babe."

"No you're not." She pushing me away. When we got back to the house we changed into pajamas settled down on the comfy chair in the living room to watch some telly with Taylor, Kiersten's dad, cousin, and aunt.

Kiersten fell asleep curled up on my lap and I chuckled and kissed the top of her head. I finished watching the episode we were on and then said goodnight to everyone and carefully carried Kiersten down the stairs. I laid her down on the air mattress and covered her up with the blanket before going into the bathroom to wee.

When I came back Kiersten had snuggled up with my pillow. I tried to get back without waking her up but I couldn't. "Babe, come on give me my pillow back. Wake up and give it back."

"No." She whined but I couldn't tell if she was awake or not.

"Babe please, just give me my pillow back and then you can go to sleep." She groaned but gave it back to me. "Thank you." I said settling down into my spot.

"Welcome." She said rolling on top of me making me chuckle.

"Any reason for all of this?"

"You smell good." She said her voice getting thicker. I just chuckled again before wrapping my arms around her and falling asleep.

The next morning Kiersten informed me that we needed to go down to the mall to go shopping because she had stuff she needed to get. I reluctantly agreed to go with.

I spent most of the morning and into the afternoon carrying her bags around for her, but only of course after I got to pick where we had lunch. Bob, claimed bag carrying was not in his job description. I'm pretty sure he just wanted to see me in pain. "Babe are you almost done?" I whined as I followed her.

"Yes, Nialler. This is the last store, I promise. You can even wait outside if you'd like." She said stopping in front of a store, I saw it was Victoria's Secret.

"Okay, well I'll see all of this later. You know what I like, so just pick some stuff out and then let's go." I said taking a seat on the bench next to Bob who knew that he didn't need to go into that store.

"Okay, but they got some new stuff, some I'm going to have to try it on. I hope that doesn't make you wait to long." She said biting her lip innocently.

"You're trying stuff on?" I asked and she nodded, "Okay, I'm coming let's go." I said grabbing her hand and dragging her into the store making her giggle. I was getting turned on already. As much as I loved it when she was super sexy, I loved it even more when she was shy and innocent.

I followed her around the store every once in a while picking something up, "I like this." I'd hand it to her already in her size.

Sometimes she'd laugh and say that she already had it and I would say that I had never seen it on her and she'd just laugh more ignoring me.
