Dedimicated to 'Hitherex_' because I updated early for her. SHES SO FREAKING NICE!

**In The Previous Chapter**

"Okay I would like everyone except Mr. Horan to leave the room please." What? Why? Did Niall raid the hospital kitchen or something? By the looks of it everyone was just as confused as I was, Niall included.

The next thing he said, changed everything.

**Now**

No no no no no, NO.

This can not be happening to me. My life was just getting back on track, this cannot be true. I mean.. He's just kidding right?

"Your kidding right?" I asked the doctor, the words not really meaning to leave my mouth, but right now, I couldn't be held responsible for what I say. My mouth wasn't exactly connected to my brain.

"No Ms Thorne, I'm afraid not. All the evidence is there." And with that, he left the room, leaving me there to stare at the blank walls.

Niall looked at me, he obviously couldn't believe it either. "Here," He said, handing me his cell phone and breaking me out of my trance. "Call your parents and ask them."

He didn't have to say anymore, I knew what he wanted me to ask them and I'm pretty sure I already knew the answer. I wasn't close to my parents at all, so I needed to think for a minute to see if I could even remember their phone numbers.

After a few minutes of thought, my mothers phone number popped into my head and I started fidgeting with Nialls phone attempting to type in my mothers number. To say that I'm nervous would be an understatement, I knew what she was going to say but I didn't exactly want her to say them. To have her say that one sentence, that one word. It would make my entire life a complete lie.

I managed to type in her number in, as it was ringing I looked at Niall who gave me a reassuring smile. I hope that shirt of his wasn't new because in about 45 seconds it's gonna be drenched in my tears. Not that my moms answer will upset me it's just the shock of it. Like when I found out Mathew was cheating, I wasn't upset but I cried out of shock.

'Tell Suzie to get ice-cream!' I mouthed at Niall. A look of confusion flashed across his face but he still nodded politely and went to tell Suzie to get ice-cream.

By the time my mother finally answered the phone he had returned.

"Hello, Christina Thorne speaking." My mothers voice flooded through the little speaker. She somehow managed to sound enthusiastic yet professional at the same time. I don't know what she's supposed to be enthusiastic about, she's a lawyer, therefore she represents people in court. She's either defending bad people or sending them to jail. I wouldn't be enthusiastic about that.

"Hello mother, it's Emilie." I said dryly.

"Oh." She responded. There goes the enthusiasm.

"I have a question," I started, before taking a deep breath. "Am I adopted?" I asked quickly. Closing my eyes tightly, as if expecting someone to physically slap me across the face.

"Yes, now is that all Emilie?" Yes? THAT'S ALL I GET?

"Yeah, yeah that's all.." I say quietly, trailing off near the end of my sentence. I let the phone drop out of my hands and onto the bed. Followed by tears. Niall came over to me, wrapping his arms around me while I cried into his shoulder.

"Ice. Cream." I managed to blurt out, while still sobbing into Nialls shoulder.

"Yes, of course." Niall said standing up, "I'll be right back." He ran out the door quickly, but came in soon after followed by Suzie and the other boys.

"What happened honey?" Suzie asked quietly handing me the ice-cream and staring daggers at Niall. She had a habit of blaming people before she actually knew the whole story, she just needed someone to focus on.

I glanced at the boys then to Niall, he seemed to understand what I was implying and asked the boys to leave the room with him so that he could explain to them the whole story while I explain to Suzie.

"Spill." She said once the boys had left the room.

"Where did you find ice-cream in a hospital?" I asked, taking another spoonful of the ice cream she had gotten me.

"I have absolutely no idea. Niall found it and gave it to me so that I could give it to you." We both laughed at that. Niall had a gift for finding food.

"Anyways, no changing the subject hun, what did the doctor say, and what had Niall to do with it?" Even though she spoke calmly as to not set me off again it didn't work. I could feel the tears threatening to spill over once again. Suzie pulled me into a hug and started rubbing circles in my back soothingly. I felt like a child right now. Girl up Emilie. I sat up straight and willed myself to look directly at Suzie.

This would be my first time admitting it to anyone. Myself included.

"Suzie, I'm adopted," I started, and as expected she was as shocked about this as i was. "But there's more." I noticed her expression change from shocked to confused.

"Suzie, I'm adopted. And Niall is my brother."

I can't believe this. Niall Horan is my freaking brother.
