A Pleasant Surprise - Niall Horan fanfic

Chapter 40

Sophie's P.O.V

I woke up to Niall playing and singing Small Bump by Ed Sheeran again. I can't describe how beautiful it is. I just laid there and listened to him. The way he said those words, the meaning of them. It was truly amazing. I rested both my hands on my belly, I didn't really look pregnant. More like I'd gained weight but you could hardly tell. I think that's why everyone was so surprised when we told them yesterday. It was like dropping a bomb. And for once everyone was speechless, even Louis who always has something to say. I smiled for myself as I thought about their reactions. They all sat there and stared at us for so long, then they thought we were joking. We had to tell them over and over again that it was true. And when they finally realised that we were telling the truth they started jumping around and yelling. They said that they knew me and Niall would be the first ones to settle down with each other, get married, have kids. They didn't even judge us or hesitate once, they were so happy for us and it made me even more confident about doing this. After they'd all looked at the pictures from the ultra sound, felt my tummy and yes, Harry insisted on putting his ear to it, they called down a bit. We started talking about how we'd tell management, the fans, everyone else and they were so supporting. All of them. Especially Danielle and Eleanor. I couldn't believe it, I still can't. I expected them to be judging and everything. That made me realise how amazing they all actually are. Niall did too, we kept looking at each other like we couldn't believe how lucky we were to be surrounded by people like them.

"Happy 2 month anniversary!" Niall stood in the door smiling. "I love you." He had something in his hands but he was keeping it hissen behind his back. I glanced over at the gift I'd gotten him. He probably thinks I've forgot.

"Love you too!" I sat up as Niall jumped up on the bed next to me. He ran his hand through my hair. I couldn't take my eyes off him, he was gorgeous. His toned abs, his bare chest, his collarbones, his neck, his jawline, his lips, his nose, his hair and most of all, his incredibly beautiful blue eyes. Our eyes locked and my lips automatically pulled up in a smile. He pressed his hand against my back, pulled me closer to him and kissed me. I put my hands on his cheeks as he deepened the kiss. I had to pull away, I was all out of breath and my heart was pounding inside my chest.

"I didn't know what to get you, sorry." He gave me an apologizing look as he handed me the bag.

"You didn't have to." I stroked his cheek with my thumb. "I've got something for you too." I reached out to grab the bag next to the small table next to my bed and put it on his lap. He kissed me on the forehead and opened the box.

"Oh wow...Soph, I love it!" He exclaimed and quickly put the watch on. "How did you know I wanted it!?" He laughed.

"I have my connections." I snickered. He gazed into my eyes and bit his lower lip. "Oh, I almost forgot." I took his gift, shook it a bit and ripped the paper off. It was a box. I didn't want to open it, the box itself was amazing. I struggled to open the box, Niall sighed and opened it for me. It was a pair of earrings. The most beautiful earrings I've ever seen. My jaw dropped and I just stared at them with wide eyes.

"You can change them to something else if you don't like them." Niall said.

"Are you crazy? I love them!" I threw my arms around his neck. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I kissed him on the cheek and picked the earrings up. They were silver earrings with rubies and diamonds. Niall helped me to put them on and I rushed to the mirror to look at them. "They're amazing Niall." He grinned, clearly proud of himself over picking them out.

"I'm glad you like them!" He walked up behind me, wrapped his arms around my waist and placed a trail of kisses along my neck. I put my hands over his, moved them to my belly. I looked at him through the mirror, how his expression changed. He closed his eyes and stroked his cheek against mine. He opened his eyes with a wide smile.
