Aurora's POV
I am sitting in the condo drinking a cup of coffee and eating some cereal when Liam comes downstairs with Chasity. She is dressed in a white dress with pink flowers on it.
"Awe how cute! Where did you find that dress?" I ask him because I have never seen it before.
"I bought it, well actually management bought it but same concept."
"Well it is very nice, now why don't you go put some normal clothes on her because she will spit up all over that dress and I don't want to ruin it." I say and go back to eating my cereal.
"No, she needs to look nice today." He says which confuses me so I look up at him.
"We aren't doing anything today. The most we might do is take a walk." I say.
"Well no. Not exactly. We kind of have a photo shoot with People magazine today." He says shyly. I just sit there shocked for a couple seconds.
"What?!? When were you going to tell me?"
"Um, right now. I don't see what the problem is it is only going to be a couple pictures."
"I just thought that you would tell me. So are you going to just bring her, or do you think you will be there long enough for me to be there to feed her?"
"Well the photo shoot is kind of a family thing. You have to be there too. It is going to be a way to announce us dating and the baby all at once."
"Fine. But I am not going to like it. You know how much I hate the press and paparazzi." I say as I drag myself upstairs and into the bathroom to take a shower. I get out of the bathroom and see a light pink dress sitting on the bed with a white cardigan and a pair of white wedges. Well at least I don't have to worry about what I am going to wear. I pull on the dress and go back into the bathroom to put on makeup and do my hair. I put on a shimmer nude color eye shadow and add mascara and a light pink lipstick. I blow dry my hair and let the natural waves go and pull half of my hair up in a flower clip that matches the dress. I leave the bedroom to see Liam changing.
"Who is watching Chasity?" I ask as I go over to my jewelry box to grab a pair of earrings.
"Rose, she is downstairs in the living room I think." He says as he puts on a white button up shirt, which he buttons all the way to the top, and a pair of tan khakis. He hasn't looked over at me so he is facing the wall.
"Okay, well thanks for the outfit. Considering I didn't know about the photo shoot it is a good thing you got something because everything is too small on me now." I say as I sit on the bed.
"I doubt that is the case. You look perfect" He says as he turns to me.
"Liam, I am so pudgy." I say as I lay down on the bed with my legs dangling off. I poke my belly, then sigh.
"You don't have any pudge." He says as he comes closer and sits down next to me on the bed, to put on his shoes.
"I know that you're lying. I am trained in detecting lies." I say seriously.
"Okay maybe you have a little pudge, but it is really sexy." He says.
"Oh yea I am so sexy." I say and roll my eyes.
"You don't believe me?" He asks amused.
"Never do!" I say taunting him.
"Oh you are going to get it." He says and grabs the sides of my abdomen and starts tickling me.
"Liam…." I say while laughing hysterically.
"Say it! Say that you're hot as hell!" He says as he continues tickling me.
"No! Never! I can resist your cute torture!" I say trying to hold in the laughter.
He leans down and blows on my stomach, like he does with Chasity to make her laugh. "Say it! Or I will continue"
"What the hell are you guys doing in here?" Rose asks who is now standing in the doorway with Chasity. I didn't hear her open the door.
"She thinks she is fat. I am trying to convince her she isn't" Liam says and he stops tickling me. So I sit up on the bed.
"By eating her alive?" Rose asks confused.
"I was tickling her…" Liam says as he looks down at the ground.
"Sure you were… Listen if I interrupted your 'play' time just tell me… I don't want to know what kinky stuff you guys do." Rose says as she goes over to Chasity's stuff in the room. "I just need to change her diaper, and there are none downstairs." Rose then leaves our room.
Liam and I just look at each other and start laughing at the encounter.
"God! I love you so much." Liam says as he gives me a kiss on my cheek.
"I love you too. Now we should really go. We don't want to be late." I say and get up off of the bed. Liam follows and we head downstairs.
"Wow, you guys finish really fast. Liam do you not have any endurance?" Rose says as we go into the living room. Liam and I blush.
"We weren't doing that. But we have to go." I say and grab Chasity. I put on her outerwear and put her in her car seat. I put my jacket on and go to put Chasity in the car. We always take my car because Liam's car is too sporty to have a baby ride in, but I let him drive.
We drive for about a half hour then we finally get to the place where they are taking pictures.
"Ready for the world to know?" Liam asks me as he turns to me in the car.
"No, but when else are we going to do this?" I ask.
"Good point. I'm sorry that I dragged you into this life." He says apologetically.
"Hey I let you drag me into this. Besides, if it means I get to be with you I will gladly put up with it all." I lean over and give him a kiss.
We get out of the car and Liam grabs the car seat and we enter this building where we are met by a group of people who I don't know.
"Liam! Oh thank you so much for choosing People magazine to be the first to publish your daughter's pictures. I am the Editor in Chief of the magazine." A lady says as she offers her hand out to Liam who was still holding the car seat. He sets it down to shake her hand.
"Yea no problem" He says with a smile. I decide that since Liam is the main reason we are here I will just hold the car seat. As soon as I grab the handle to pick it up Liam turns to me and stops me.
"No Auri. You don't have to do that. I can, you don't need to strain yourself." He says with his warmest smile.
"Okay, I just thought I would help." I say back to him.
"You guys are too adorable. You will have to tell us how you met for the story." The Editor in Chief says to us. I just smile at her. "Okay so this is the photographer" she pointed to the only man of the group, "the rest of these people are here to help make sure you stay happy." she motioned to the other three people.
"Have you seen Simon?" Liam asks the lady.
"Yes, he is in the studio right now, I am pretty sure that Niall Horan accompanied him today." She says and starts walking so I assume that we are supposed to follow her.
We reach the studio and I see Niall talking to Simon near a table of food. I decide to walk over to say hi to him, and Liam follows.
"Ni!" I say loudly and with a smile.
He turns and looks at me and smiles "Aurora! How are you doing? Liam being a good daddy?" He asks as he gives me a hug.
"Yea, he is trying" I say to him.
"Well that's all you can ask of him" Niall then turns to Liam "Liam man! Long time no see. Do you still want to kill me?"
"No, I'm good." Liam says.
"Good! Then tour will go over smoothly." Niall says jokingly. Niall grabs Chasity from the car seat to say hi to her.
"So, you're Liam's new toy." Simon says coldly to me.
I cringe at his tone and words.
"She has a name." Liam tells him.
"Well is she going to last this time? Because I don't know how many more girlfriends you can have until you reach player status." Simon says with the same level of coldness.
"Yes, she is it. There will be no one after her. We have a kid together."
"Well people can still break up even if they have a kid together, I mean haven't you heard of divorce?" Simon is starting to make me doubt everything again.
I reach my hands out to grab Chasity from Niall, and I walk away from the group and head out the doors to get some space from them all.
"Auri?" I hear Liam call after me as I am leaving. "Auri? Where are you going?" He jogs after me.
"I felt that we aren't wanted so I decided that maybe we should leave."
"I want both of you. Simon just doesn't like negative publicity, and he wants to make sure that I am not going to cause any."
"Fine, but he could be a little nicer to me. I love you, and I am going to stick with you through thick and thin this time." I say as a tear escapes my eye.
Liam wipes away the tear from my face. "I know, I love you too, nothing is going to change that. Come on let's go back in there and get this photo shoot and interview over with. "
We go back in and take dozens of pictures. It takes about an hour then we go with the Editor in Chief for an interview.
"Okay, so let's start with the basic questions first." She says cheerfully. "So how did you guys meet?"
I look at Liam and he looks at me and we chuckle. "Well I sliding down the slide and she walked right in front of me and I hit her." Liam says.
"Uh, no you went when you shouldn't have. It was all your fault." I correct him.
"So how old where you then?" The lady asks.
"5" Liam responds.
"Awe! You guys were childhood friends?"
"Yea, best friends actually. We did everything together. No one knows me like she does." Liam says and smiles at me all love stricken.
"Yep, we were inseparable until he got onto X-Factor, then it was kind of hard to do everything together." I say.
"Now, you guys have had rumors of dating a couple times before. One instant was about 4 years ago, and you Liam told everyone that she is just an acquaintance. Now it is obvious that you lied."
"I had to. She didn't want all of the attention of knowing me." Liam says sadly.
"So when did you officially start dating then?"
"Which time?" Liam joked.
"The most recent." The lady says.
"About a year ago. Since, Aurora doesn’t like press we hid everything, I even made it look like I was still dating Sophia so no one would suspect anything, that was until Aurora found out she was pregnant then I decided it would be easier to explain everything if me and Sophia weren't dating anymore" Liam looks so calm, even though most of it is just a lie.
"So, Aurora do you live at Liam's place?"
"No, not particularly. We go back and forth between his apartment and the condo I share with my college roommate." I say with a smile. I look down at my arms and notice Chasity has fallen asleep.
"Your college roommate is engaged to Harry Styles right?"
"Yea, she is so excited. They are so perfect together." I say cheerily.
"So, Liam, do you plan on proposing anytime soon?"
"Well, I can't tell you specific details but I can tell you that I am 100% percent positive that the wonderful woman I am sitting next to is going to be the person I am going to marry." I smile at Liam.
"Well aren't you two a love story that people only read about. I look forward to hearing your wedding announcements and future kids." She says to conclude her interview.
"And we look forward to the events." Liam says cheekily. Wow he can really turn on the charm, he can make anyone melt into his palms like putty.
We leave and on the way back to the condo Liam turns to me, "When do you want to get married?"
"I don't really know, I just need more time to adjust to everything. Don't worry though I am going to marry you eventually."
"What is going to happen when I am on tour?"
"Well, I might come to some that are closer to here, but otherwise I will Skype you everyday so you don't miss us too much."
"I'm glad that I won't ever lose touch with you again. So we should go house hunting soon…" Liam brings up.
"Not now though, I am tired all the time and it would be hard to move with Chasity being so young. Let's just wait a little longer okay?"
"Okay, I guess I can live with the arrangement for a while longer." Liam huffs.
"I love you. Did you know that?" I joke with him.
"Seriously? Because the weirdest thing is, I love you too." Liam smiles amusingly at me and I just smile back. I really couldn't ask for anyone better.
