Few months later

Hannah was laying down on the hospital bed. Her contractions had begun, and she was getting closer to giving birth. Currently only Niall was in the room with her.

"What's wrong?" Niall asked her.
"I'm just nervous" she let out a nervous laugh.
"You're doing great darling" he said holding her hand.
"I'm so tired" she sighed.
"I want to sleep but your child won't let me to"
"Oh so it's my child now?" he asked jokingly.
She nodded tiredly. He kissed her temple.

"Why isn't the baby coming?" he asked.
"Ask him or her yourself" she replied.
"Why aren't you coming? You have a handsome father and a beautiful mother. Why aren't you coming?" he asked looking at Hannah's baby bump causing her to laugh.

"ouch" she said in between her laugh.
"Ouch" she said again.
"What? What?"
"I think the baby's coming" she let out a shaky breath and shut her eyes in pain.
"Oh God!" Niall rushed out and called for a nurse.

"It's a boy" Niall came to announce the news to their families.
"It's a boy!" he said again in excitement.
Both families congratulated him.
"Can we see him?" Jeff, Hannah's father, asked.
"You can come in, though they're checking the baby so he's not here right now" he explained.
"I want to see my daughter" Kelly said excitedly and entered the room to hug Hannah.
"Congratulations" Maura hugged Niall.

"Any names yet?" Jeff asked Niall and Hannah.
"Not yet" they both replied at the same time.
"Knock. Knock." The nurse came in with Baby Horan. They all gathered around him and looked at him in awe.
"Let the parents see them" Harry said picking the baby up and handed him to Hannah.
Kelly signaled her family and they all nodded.
"We'll give you two some time alone. We'll be back" Jeff said, and they left the room.
"I'll be outside as well" Maura said and left the room as well.

Niall stood beside Hannah and they both had their eyes on their son. Hannah looked up at Niall with a smile on her face.
"Niall" she whispered witnessing tear stains on his face.

"I love you for this Hannah. Thank you for this. For everything. I never thought this day would come. Me being in love with the most beautiful and most intelligent girl who is also holding my son. Thank you" he said with a shaky voice and kissed her temple.

She smiled lightly at his words.
"He's adorable. And Handsome" he said.
She smiled looking at her son.
"What should we name him?" Hannah asked.
"I have no idea" Niall said picking him up.
He placed a very light kiss on his cheek.

"He is from the royal family. I was thinking to choose an Irish name for him maybe?" Niall asked.
"I'm okay with that" she smiled.
"We'll think of something" he said handing their son back to Hannah.
"I'm going to call our family. I know they're dying to hold him"
Hannah giggled softly and nodded at him.

"Sir we received a call from the hospital" one of the guards told the mysterious enemy.
He puffed out the cigarette.
"And?"
"The baby's born. It's a boy"
"Perfect" he said puffing out the smoke.
"Elizabeth" he called.
"Yes sir?" she appeared.
"It's almost time" he said.
She smiled and nodded.

"Hey" Harry said.
"Hey" Louis replied.
"Come on in" he stepped aside for Harry to enter.
"Everything okay?" Louis asked once they entered the living room.
"Yeah" Harry cleared his throat.
"The baby's born" he said.
"Oh really?" Louis asked smiling.
"Yeah. Boy"
"Congratulations" he said with joy.
Louis was moving on. His feelings towards Hannah had reduced.
"Thanks" Harry said.
A silence fell between both.

"So ... are you seeing anyone?" Harry blurted out.
"No. Are you?"
He shook his head side to side.
"Want a beer?" Louis offered.
"Sure" Harry shrugged.
Louis came back with two bottles in his hands. He passed one to Harry. They both sat on the couch.
"Thanks" Harry muttered.
They both took a huge gulp from their drinks. Again silence.

"Any new girl you have a crush on?" Harry asked suddenly.
"No. Not yet" Louis said.
Harry nodded and took another gulp of his drink. Once again, silence.
"The other day I read an interesting story in the newspaper. It was a fictional story, but it was a nice one." Harry said.
"What was it about?" Louis asked.

"It was about a prince who falls in love with a girl. They hit it off and become a thing. But the girl's brother also had feelings for the prince. In fact, he liked the prince before the prince gained feelings for the girl. Though the boy was shy and nervous to tell the prince, so he stayed silent and buried his feelings deep down his chest. After a while, he kept wishing the prince would notice him. He kept saying he fell for the wrong sibling. But he never said anything out loud and the prince married the girl" Harry said.

Louis stared at him in silence. Harry swallowed hard and looked down.
"Harry" Louis whispered.
Harry sighed and stood up.
"You fell for the wrong Styles Louis" he said and left.

Niall and Hannah were alone in the hospital with their son.
"Why is it so hard to choose a name?" Hannah whined.
"It's his fault for being so handsome. No name matches him" Niall said causing Hannah to laugh softly.
"Well, how about Ethan?" Hannah asked.
"He doesn't look like an Ethan though" Niall said.

"If only he could talk and choose his own name" Hannah said.
"I don't think that would be a good idea since children say the most random thing. I mean the other day Harriet told me to name him Cone. Inspired by ice cream cone" Niall said making Hannah laugh.
"She also told me to name him breadian. Inspired by breads." Hannah said laughing.

"Brian!" Niall said all the sudden.
"Harriet actually did help" Hannah muttered.
"Do you like it?" Niall asked.
"I love it" she smiled approvingly.
"Now his middle name" Niall said.
"Oliver"
"James" They both said in unison.
They laughed shortly.

"How about both?" Niall asked.
"Brian Oliver James Horan?" She asked.
"I love it" Niall shrugged.
"I love it as well" she said.
Knock. Knock.
They both looked at the door expecting a nurse to enter.
"Can I come in?" Josephine asked.
"Of course!" Hannah said smiling widely.

"Hi" Josephine beamed passing the bouquet to Niall.
"Thank you" he said.
"He's so cute" she said in awe.
"Can I hold him?" she asked.
"Of course" Niall said excitedly.

Josephine picked him up. She felt a slight ache in her chest. She could never experience this. Of course, she can always adopt, but she can never experience pregnancy. She blinked fast to prevent her tears to fall.

"He's so adorable" she whispered.
Hannah smiled at her sadly knowing about Josephine's pain. Niall also gave her a sympathetic smile.
"Any names?" she placed him back on his tiny bed.
"We just chose his name. Literally, three seconds before you came in" Niall said.
"Really?! What is his name?" She asked in excitement.
"Brian Oliver James Horan" Niall said proudly.
"I love it" Josephine said happily.

Maura sighed lying down on her bed.
"I wish you were here to see your grandson" she said.
"He's so adorable" she said sadly.
"Oh Calum" she cried.

"Your majesty a letter for you and your mother" Liam handed Niall an envelope.
"For the both of us?" Maura asked.
"Yes mam"
"What does it say?" Maura asked Niall.
"No!" Niall said standing up.
"What?!"
"NO!"
"Niall what's wrong?!"
"Uncle Calum ... he's dead!" Niall said.
"WHAT?!"
"He's been shot. This letter is from the hospital"
"No ... no ... NO!"

The letter was from the hospital informing them that Calum's dead. Since they didn't want the public to figure it out, they sent them a letter first.

But it was all a lie.

Calum was not dead. He was being held hostage in the dungeon.
For a few months now.
"I wish you were here" Once again Maura cried herself to sleep.
