Niall Horan Child Preferences 3

#46 He has a low sperm count

Niall and I have been married for just over a year. We have been trying to conceive and have a baby for there past few months but nothing has happened.

Last week we went to the doctors to have tests done to see if any of us were infertile and today we are going back to pick up the results.

"Mr and Mrs Horan?" A doctor said.
We stood up and followed him into a room.

We sat opposite him at the desk.

"So starting with you Mrs Horan" he said.
"You are perfectly healthy and have no fertility problems at all" He said and I could see Niall gulp from the corner of my eye.
Niall but his lip, it's a nervous habit of his.
"So am I the one that is infertile?" He asked.
"Not necessarily" the doctor said.
"So then why are we having trouble conceiving?" Niall asked.
"Well Mr Horan, the tests have shown that you have a low sperm count, this doesn't mean that you will never have a child but it does mean that it will take a while to successfully conceive, but there are options such as ivf that you can use" He explained and we nodded.

"I it something that I've done to cause me to have a low sperm count?" Niall asked.
"Sometimes people just naturally have a low sperm count but everyday things that everyone does can decrease the sperm count such as having a phone in your pocket because waves are given off from the device which can cause a decrease in sperm count"He explained.

"I'm so sorry y/n" Niall said as he closed the door behind him as we got home.
"What do you mean?" I asked as I turned around to face him. Tears welled up in his eyes and he sat down on the sofa with his head in his hands.

I sat next to him and wrapped my arm around him, rubbing his back.
He lifted his head up and looked at me. His face was tear stained.

"I've failed you as a husband, I can't give you a baby, I'll never be able to have a baby of my own, I'll never be able to be a dad" He said sadly.
I engulfed him in a hug.
"Don't say that Niall! You will become a dad one day! They said it is possible to have kids but it will harder which means we'd have to try a lot more often, but I promise that we will have a baby together and one day there will be a little baby running around this house" I said and he smiled.
"You really think?" He asked.
"I know" I said and pecks his lips.

4 years later.

Niall and I were sat on the table in the backyard as our two children ran around playing on the grass.
Our 3 year old son, Ethan, was running away from our 1 year old daughter, Aaliyah, who was chasing after him and giggling.

"Didn't I tell you that one day there would be a little baby running around?" I said to Niall who smiled running a hand through his brown hair.
"You were right all along" he said and I nodded.
We suddenly heard a piercing cry.

Niall jumped and ran to our baby daughter who had fallen, me following close behind.
She was sat on the grass crying as Ethan was crouched down next their rubbing her back.

"Dadda" she cried raising her arms towards Niall.
Niall picked her up and rocked her.
"What happened buddy?" Niall asked Ethan.

"S..she was chasing me  and tripped over a rock " Ethan told Niall who nodded.
"Mummy will you play with me?" Ethan asked and I nodded.
I played some football with Ethan while Niall sat back down with Aaliyah on his lap, sucking on her pink dummy that she only ever used when she was upset.

I couldn't ask for a more perfect family.
