Liz's P.O.V
I think I'm in love with these nausea pills. I'm not even joking. They help me get through his horrible flight. Which by the way is like... six hours. Not as long as the flight from California to Maine, but still long enough. It was incredibly boring, if I do say so myself. The plane took off about noon earlier today, which means we should be arriving in Ireland at about six o'clockish. I'm excited about going there and seeing where Niall grew up, but I'm also really nervous.
What if his parents don't like me? My parents loved Niall, which was great for him. He doesn't have to worry about it anymore. But I do. And let me tell you, I'm worrying about it. I've been texting the girls throughout the whole flight because someone fell asleep. And that someone was Niall. I don't get why he fell asleep, especially because he's finally going to be seeing his family. He should be bouncing off the wall. But instead he's asleep and using my shoulder as a pillow. Not that I mind though, I like how my cuddliness has rubbed off on him.
But anyway... Julie and Caitlin have been telling me to calm down and that his parents would love me. I keep trying to calm down and relax but I'm just so nervous. Niall means so much to me, he's the first guy I ever really loved. If his parents don't like me, or don't accept our relationship, I don't know what I'd do. I'd probably cry myself to sleep or something.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane will be landing in a few short minutes. Please buckle your seatbelts and turn off all electronics." Someone said over the intercom thingy.
I looked over at Niall, who was still asleep. I reached across his lap and pulled the seatbelt, strapping him in. I'll just let him sleep till we actually land. I grabbed my phone and shut it off. Niall's phone, which was on his lap, was still on. I grabbed it and shut it down for him. He stirred in his sleep and opened his eyes.
"Morning sleepyhead, we're just about to land. Here's your phone, I turned it off for you." I said, handing him his fun.
"What? Oh yeah... thanks." Niall mumbled, obviously still sleepy.
I laughed a little and grabbed his hand. I've always hated the whole 'landing' part of the plane ride. I think that taking off and landing is the hardest part because that's the part where I get really nauseas. I guess Niall sensed my nervousness, even though he just woke up, because he squeezed my hand and kissed my cheek.
By the time the plane landed I was surprised at how well my stomach took it. I guess the pills haven't worn off yet, which was really great. I don't want to blow chucks in front of my boyfriends family. That would be mortifying. I'd never be able to look them in the eye.
Once we were given the okay to get up I was on my feet. I wanted to get off this stupid plane more than anything else in this world. Well, maybe besides my own mall. I think I want that a little more than getting off this plane. But then again, what girl wouldn't want their own mall? My point exactly.
"Here, I'll carry that for ya." Niall said, taking the carry on.
I thanked him and grabbed his other hand. We started making our way out of the plane. The airport was a little busy, but a lot less busier than the one back in Maine. I wonder where in Ireland we are? Are we in Dublin? I've only been here once on the Take Me Home tour. But other than that I'm not very familiar with Ireland.
"Okay, so Greg just texted saying that they'd meet us at the Dunkin' Donuts near the exit, so we need to go through luggage claim ourselves." Niall said, looking down at his phone. I nodded and said that was fine.
By the time we got to luggage claim I was starting to really worry. I need them to like me. I can't have them not liking me. I'll be here for about five days and if they don't like me it would be so awkward. I snapped out of my thoughts when I saw my pink suitcase. I grabbed it and pulled it off the conveyer belt. Niall found his green one moments later and set it next to mine.
"Ni?" I asked, grabbing his arm. He turned around, looking down at me. His blue eyes were filled with excitement. I trailed my hand down his arm till I reached his hand and then intertwined our fingers.
"Uh... do... are they going to like me?" I asked.
Niall gave me a sympathetic look before pulling me into a hug. My arms locked around his waist and his were over my arms. This was helping to calm my nerves. Not enough for me to start being excited and whatnot, but knowing that Niall's here for me does help a lot.
"They're going to love you because I love you. Trust me, honey, they're going to love you just as much as I do. Well, not really. No one can love you as much as I do." Niall said, leaving a kiss on my forehead. I nodded, not saying anything.
"You're worrying over nothing Elizabeth." Niall added, laughing at the end. I pulled away and shoved his arm, telling him not to call me by my whole name. God, it's so long and just... no.
"C'mon Liz, baby. We need to go before fans spot us." Niall said, looking around.
Shit, he's right. If fans spot us we'll be in a pickle. Ha, that's such a stupid expression. Anyway I grabbed my suitcase and looked back up at Niall. He smiled and leaned down, kissing me and then telling me not to worry so much.
"I'll calm down. Let's just go or I'll get even more nervous about being seen." I said, making Niall laugh. He grabbed the suitcase and carry on, telling me he was ready to go.
"Do you want me to take that? I feel bad having you carry all that stuff." I said, looking at the two things he was carrying.
"No, I'm not going to make you carry this shit. Then I'd feel bad. C'mon, I want to go see them." Niall said, whining at the end.
I laughed and told him we should go then, which made him laugh. As nervous as I am about this, I'm happy to see that smile on his face. It's amazing. Yes, I see that smile all the time but it's even more amazing then normally. He's seeing his family that he hasn't seen in a long time. It's nice to watch this side of him come out.
We made our way through the airport we got spotted. A couple of fans came up and asked for autographs. Pictures were taken, hugs were given out. It wasn't that bad because there were just a few of them. But in all honesty, I don't mind. I love signing things and since Directioners have gotten used to me being with Niall it's not as bad. We actually get compliments, sort of like how people are with Zayn and Perrie. Or Liam and Sophia.
It's a lot better than before actually. Before I'd get people calling me names. But it was never really that bad. Sure, there was hate. But because of all the videos I've been in, all the interviews, my performances on the X Factor, the fans know me a lot more. They know me more than they could ever know about Sophia or hell, even Eleanor or Danielle. Sure they haven't been in the picture for a long time now, but still.
"Look, there they are." Niall said, snapping me out of my thoughts. There were a few photographers, but they were keeping their distant. Thank God.
I looked over to where Niall was looking and immediately saw his family. I've been a fan long enough to know what his family looks like. His mother was holding a poster board with the words Welcome Home Niall & Liz! I nearly started crying at the fact that they included my name on the sign. Niall looked at me and smiled before speeding up his pace. I laughed and picked up my pace a little to match his.
Once we were close enough Niall dropped his suitcase and the carry on and ran over to hug his family. I laughed and grabbed the carry on, slinging it onto my shoulder. Then I grabbed Niall's suitcase and started dragging it towards Niall and his family. Now I know how Niall felt when I dropped everything and ran to my family.
I waited behind them as he greeted them all. Besides Lux, I've never really seen Niall with a baby. Sure I've seen the pictures, but nothing compared to seeing Niall with Theo. It was just way too cute for me. His whole family was talking at once and Niall was trying to answer each question that was being thrown at him.
"Okay, okay, okay." Niall said, looking back at me. He walked over and took my hand, leading me closer to his family. "This is Liz, my gorgeous girlfriend." He finished, looking down at me.
I couldn't help the blush that formed on my face. He so would say that just to embarrass me for the fun of it. He'll pay though. I snapped out of my thoughts when his mother came over and wrapped me in a huge hug.
"It's so nice to finally meet you, Liz. I've heard so much about you." Niall's mom said. I laughed and hugged back, saying,
"It's nice to meet you too, Mrs. Horan. I hope it's all good."
"Oh, call me Maura. And trust me, Niall's had nothing bad to say about you." Maura said, pulling away. I smiled and looked over at Niall, who was blushing.
Niall's father came over and gave me a hug, insisting that I called him Bobby. I've seen pictures of Bobby but when you see Niall and Bobby together you can really see the resemblance. Add in Greg and it can really surprise you.
"You're even prettier then the photos Niall sent to me." Greg said, pulling away from the hug he gave me while making me laugh. I'm going to have to ask Niall about those photos. It there was one bad one...
"This is my wife, Denise." Greg added in, pointing to the women I know as Denise.
I should probably mention that I'm a fan girl and I pretty much know all their names and some info about them, but... I'm trying to impress them and that would probably creep them out. Anywho, Denise came over and wrapped me in a hug. I don't want to sound weird or anything, but she smells pretty good. I'll have to ask what type of perfume she wears.
"This is Theo, but I'm sure Niall's told you countless stories about him." Denise said, looking down at the baby boy in her arms. Oh my god, he's so cute.
"He's so cute." I said, my thoughts aloud. Denise laughed and thanked me, giving the boy a kiss on his head.
I'm so glad that this is working out. So far they seem to like me, right? I've gotten hugs from all of them. But maybe they're just being nice. This is so confusing. I'm just going to be the polite Liz I always am and hope for the best.
"We should probably get going or more fans will spot us. Is there enough room for all seven of us in the car?" Niall asked, taking my hand again. I felt my nerves go down a little, which was pretty good. I could always count on Niall making me feel calmer.
"No, we took our car because Theo needed the car seat. You two will be riding with Mom and Dad." Greg said.
After talking about it a few more minutes we decided to just go back to Niall's mothers for dinner. Well, I didn't decided per say, I just nodded and went along with whatever they said. I don't want to voice my opinions just yet. Besides, it's been a long day filled with crying and a six hour flight. All I want to do is go to someplace with a bed and take a nap.
Bobby took my suitcase, telling me that he'd take it for me. I was hesitant of course, I didn't want to seem like a... well I'm not sure exactly. But I also didn't want to hurt his feelings my declining. In the end he took it, saying that it was fine. I took the carry on one and luckily Niall didn't fight me on it.
"You're doing great babe. They already love you." Niall said, smiling down at me. His family was out of ear shot so they couldn't hear.
"Just... just stay by my side. Don't go anywhere just yet. I don't think I can handle this without having you next to me." I said, reaching over and taking his free hand.
"I'll always be by your side."

Aw, Niz! Sorry, it's just too cute. I hope you liked the chapter. I'm sorry it's such a late update. I've had a pretty busy day and I've been writing all day.
Anyway, I don't have much else to say...
Well, I want to say a HUGE thank you to all my readers and whatnot. I love you all so much and you're all the reason why I keep updating. Haha, just kidding. You're a big part of it because I don't want to let you all down, but I also happen to enjoy writing this book a lot. But anyway, thank you!!
And I'm SO sorry for the delay. I really am. My new computer was having internet issues and I wasn't able to get online. I was able to get online on my Kindle, but I couldn't publish the chapter because I had it written on Microsoft, not Wattpad itself. So once again I am really super sorry. But hopefully my super awesome, forgiving, wonderful, perfect Gummy Worms will forgive me!
Haha, notice how I slipped in the 'forgiving' part. Haha xD
Please VOTE and COMMENT my lil' Gummy Worms!

--Picture on the side is of One Direction at the Brits 2014! Did you all watch the Brits? Seeing him in those crutches nearly killed me. But I'm just glad my baby is okay.
--Oh wait, one more thing. Did anyone else laugh at the drunkish Liam? I found that so funny. Oh and when Harry was in the bathroom, or as he called it... 'having a wee'. He just came running down there, OMG it was just so funny I can't even. Okay, that's it. LOL. (That's also the clip on the side, watch it. It's hilarious!) Byee!!
