The Letter. THE CHANGE.  The Lie.

Chapter 53:         June 28   a week & a 1/2 later
*Mia's POV*

 I looked in the mirror one last time. I was wearing a black dress with lacy sleeves that reached just above my knees. I had exchanged some heels for a pair of flats so it would be easier to walk if I needed to carry Milo. My hair was pulled over to one side and my make up was very simple. 
 
"My, could you do my tie please?" Niall asked appearing in my doorway. I walked over to him and quickly fixed his tie. I avoided eye contact as I did, I didn't really want to see how he was reacting.
 
"We need to leave soon if we want to be at the church on time," he said. He walked off to go find Milo. 
 
Today was Tessa's funeral. She died earlier this week, her heart and lungs had finally given up. When we were told we were all shocked; we visited her regularly so she could see Milo and even though she didn't look great she looked stronger than what she was. 
 
I didn't cry, I didn't cry at all. I didn't hate her, but I couldn't cry. I couldn't find the tears to cry. Katia did, but she has always been a horrible sympathetic cryer. I'm talking bawling during Disney movies she had seen countless times. I think she was crying more for Milo than anything, because now he will never know his mom. 
 
I don't know if Niall cried, and I don't want too. I don't want to know how much she meant to him. I did in the aspect I want to know if he cared for her more than he said or showed, but at the same time if he did I didn't know how I would be able to handle that.
 
I put in my earrings and walked out to find Niall putting Milo in his car seat. Milo was wearing brown pants with a dark navy shirt. I walked over and started to put things in his bag; pacifier, towel, extra bottle and diapers. I zipped it up the bag and carried it to the door. 
 
I watched as Niall scrambled from one place to another. He was obviously nervous about meeting the few relatives Tessa had. I noticed as he walked his shoes were untied. 
 
"Ni," I said, getting his attention.
 
"Hmm? What am I forgetting?" 
 
"Your shoelaces," I said gently. He looked straight down at his feet and then started blushing slightly. Mumbling things to himself he bent down and tied his shoes. After he stood back up we left.
 
We met everyone at the church. Right as we parked Louis and Katia pulled up. Their relationship was back to the way it was before Katia's nightmare; it took a couple days but she was able to move past it. We waited as they stepped out of the car. Louis's outfit was very similar to Niall's, black suit with white dress shirt and matching black tie.  Katia was wearing a black dress that was just a tad shorter than mine with sleeves that covered her arms (I'm assuming to hide the bruises that still littered her skin). We walked into the church together to find the rest of the boys waiting for us, all dressed like Niall and Louis. 
 
We talked a little amongst ourselves for a bit before entering the church. We walked up closer to the front and we all sat down, taking an entire pew. We sat in the middle of the church, not wanting to sit in the very back but not feeling comfortable to sit towards the front. We hadn't exactly been invited to the funeral by the family, and only knew about it because of the nurse that took care of Milo and Tessa while they were at the hospital.
 
Not long after we sat down the service started. It was a nice service, a little long but very nice. We watched as the family walked out down the middle aisle. As they did a woman, in her mid 20s looked over at us. She almost stopped and stared, but she kept going, keeping her eyes on Niall as long as possible.
 
Once it was our turn we walked out and into the waiting area. I was holding Milo and making faces at him as he smiled up at me. He had just started really smiling a couple days ago and it was the cutest thing.  As we were getting ready to leave a women came over, it was the women that watched us as she walked by. 
 
"Hello," she said shyly. I felt Niall bristle besides me as she rested her gaze on him. "I'm Jessica, Tessa's sister."
 
"Hello Jessica, we are all very sorry for your loss," Liam spoke for us. 
 
"Thank you," she smiled down at the ground. "If you don't mind me I don't recognize any of you. Were you friends of Tess's?" She looked directly at Niall as she spoke. 
 
"Yes," Niall said. "I'm Niall." He stuck his hand out to shake hers but she didn't seem to catch it. After a moment he dropped his arm and stuck his hand in his pocket.  
 
"Niall?" she repeated. "The lad she was talking with?"
 
"Erm yes, but we only talked about Milo," he said awkwardly.
 
"Milo? Who is that?" she was genuinely confused by what we were talking about.
 
"Our son," Niall spoke slowly.
 
"Tessa had a kid?"
