Niall's POV
She left to go to Russia…I mean obviously. She gave me the ring back…she's probably married to some other guy or doomed to be married. I get to hotel and I see Nicole is there with Liam. I grab her and drag her away. "Hey! Horan what the hell?! I haven't seen Liam in over two months…I need some things that only he can do…you feel me?"
"Shut up. Did you know Clary was related to the last line of rulers of West Russia?" Nicole flat out laughs at me.
"What the hell have you been smoking? Speaking of the soon to be Mrs…where is she?" I groan at her.
"She left me! She's gone off with her royal grandma! Probably back to Russia!! She gave me the ring back after she found it." I sit on the floor and she sits next to me.
"But…her mom is Irish and her dad's parents were wealthy business owners…American. Not Russian." I look at her in confusion.
"You are her best friend and you don't know that her own father was Russian?" She stands up and glares at me.
"Her dad didn't have an accent! God…Russian? Western Russia isn't even a thing anymore. Not since it was attacked and taken over back when we were in 7th grade." I look at her walk away. I'll call Clary tomorrow. Let her bond with her lost grandmother. I stand up then Nicole comes back.
"Oh and she will marry you because she feels at home with you. But I would suggest buying a new apartment…she hates your place." I smile and nod. She smiles then runs over to Liam. I watch them. Nicole looks only at him while talking…and is always touching him. Either his hand, or arm, or leg. I smile and send a text to Clary.

Me: Hey…so I'm cool with you being all royal and stuff…but um…please tell me you're not like already married off or something because that would be awful. And I really would kidnap you. :)
Clary: Glad to hear that…and no I was never promised off to anyone like cattle…that's not how we operated. PS: I want a more romantic proposal. So get thinking.

I just smile and then I realize I don't know when she will be back. I'll just ask tomorrow. I want to give her time to reconnect with a lost family member and it's time to hit the road. I fell asleep wondering what Clary was doing. I bet her grandma is funny. "Psst…Niall are you awake?" I pull the curtain away and see Harry looking at me.
"Yea…why?"
"Is it true?…Clary flipped when she found the ring then just fled…?" I groan, because I think this is some info that Clary should explain.
"She just needs some time to think that's all. We have two more shows. Then she'll be back. Its fine. I know she'll be back." I can hear him smile.
"Good…I was worried that she left you again." I can hear him getting sleepy and I know that he's most likely playing with Penny's hair.
"I was never worried Haz." I whisper that though because I know Harry is asleep. Tomorrow is a new day…and I just can't wait for Clary to come back. I miss her already…

A Few Days Later…
I'm at the airport in London waiting for Clary to get back. My mom is there with me because she wanted to see Clary as well. "Niall stand still for crying out loud. She'll be on the plane." She then physically holds me still. Then I see two redheads and a taller dark haired woman. Clary sees me and waves. She grabs her bags and then runs over. She drops her bags and barrels into me. "Niall! How were the shows?" I just hold her close. Man I missed her. I let go and bend down. I pull out the ring.
"Clarissa…I love you so much…and I can't imagine being without you…I want to wake up next to you everyday…will you marry me?" She looks at me and nods. I see tears flowing down her eyes.
"Yes…I love you." I slide the ring on and it's a perfect fit. All the fans aww and I kiss her. Her grandma comes running over and I see her crying. I go over to her mom and I hear Clary and Antonina rambling off in Russian. "Don't feel bad Niall. I never understood the gibberish either." I look at her then back at Clary.
"I just didn't know she knew how to speak it…" Her mother laughed at me and slapped my back.
"You and her have a lot to talk about…her grandma is a piece of work though…I'm shocked she approved of you so readily." Then Clary comes over and she must've overheard because she laughs.
"Oh she didn't. Come on…I have to talk to Nicole apparently and help Grandma move into her new jewelry store in Dublin sometime later this week." I grab her bags and her grandma watches me. Great now I have her to impress. Antonina was beside me.
"You are very good to her correct?" I look up to find a very cold pair of green eyes.
"If you don't like me…why'd ya give me your ring?" She smiled and I can tell how much love she has for Clary.
"I had a promise to keep Niall. You wouldn't hurt her?" I look at her grandma like she's on drugs.
"No I would never hurt her. It would be like hurting myself." She laughed and then pulled me in for a hug.
"You will be just fine…but she is much like her father. I bid you good luck in taming that wild one." I laugh and nod at her. My mom was busy talking Clary's ear off. Clary's mom and grandma were on a connecting flight to Dublin. So she says goodbye and Clary's mom hugs me and just thanks me for everything. I just smile and then off we were to Clary's apt.

"I'll text you later okay…um and tomorrow we are going house shopping." I look at her and she smiles.
"Yea…okay…why do you need to buy a new place?" I just smile back. I know she has no clue but I want to surprise her. We pull up to her place. I kiss her quickly while she gets out.
"Hey I love you." She smiled and came back to the window.
"I love you too. Dinner tonight? Unless Nicole kidnaps me…why does she want…Niall did you tell her...you know?" I just look down and smile weakly.
"Alright…move over…I'm going back to your place. Might as well tell everyone at once. Call up the gang." I look at her and slide over. I pull out my phone and take her hand.
"Hey they'll be cool. I love YOU." She smiles and lays her hand on my shoulder while I send off texts to everyone to meet at my place.

Clary's POV
I get to Niall's place and everyone is already there. I stop walking and Niall has to pull me aside. "Hey just say it casually." I look at him like he's on drugs.
"Oh yea how will that go Ni? 'Hey guys…I'm royalty. Russian royalty…drinks anyone?'" He just smiles at me and shakes his head, grabbing my bags then heading to his room. I sigh then go back out. Nicole leaps up and runs over. "Okay spill it. Right now!" I step around her and look at me friends. Then sat down in a chair. Liam tried to calm Nicole down but I know she won't. I've never not told her something. I need Niall here…just for support. "Clary…just…tell us." I look at Harry and sigh. Niall comes and stands behind me, kissing my head.
"Okay…but you guys can't freak out okay?" They all just nod and I take another deep breath. "My dad…was the crown prince of Western Russia before the damned Romanov family got greedy…anyways so my grandparents were the king and queen and I thought I was the last of the Wolffsson line alive…until Niall found that my grandma, Antonina Wolffsson, survived the attack on our main palace. There were other chateaus around Europe so she must've stayed in one of them until a few months ago when she finally was able to leave. I thought she was dead…the palace was scorched…everyone died. My father's brothers and children…slaughtered. My father and his line…we weren't allowed to live there since it was rather violent due to the civil way…you know. He was the heir…meaning I was next in line. I was trained to be a queen. I was never allowed to tell anyone. So I didn’t. It never seemed like a big deal. Plus eventually I lost some of those trained qualities. So yea." I look at everyone and they are all just staring at me. I stand up and go to get a drink. Nicole comes in and taps me on the shoulder.
"Clary…or should I call you Your Majesty?" I smile at her and she leans on the counter next to me. "Um anyways I think that…wow my best friend is princess…will it be a royal wedding?" I look at her and laugh.
"God no…because West Russia doesn’t exist…my crown doesn't mean anything…I am a queen without a country." Penny comes in along with the rest of the girls. They all can't believe that I'm this princess. They are going on and on about it. Niall comes in and glares at all of them.
"Hey…she's still the same okay? Nothing has changed. Clary is still Clary." He comes over and kisses me then shoots me a smile before heading out with beers for the guys. I watch him leave and I just let the girls talk about the wedding.
"Well we are going to wait until Perrie and Zayn are married…then maybe some more…I don't know. I haven't really thought about the wedding yet." I mumble while they all gasp at me.
"Oh love…you haven't thought about anything?" I look at Perrie and shake my head.
"No I was a little preoccupied with finding a grandmother I thought was dead." They all kind of shut up after that. I just smile at my friends. We decide to go back out to the boys and hang out with everyone for a while.

Hours Later…

"So tell me Clary…what did you girls talk about?" I smile at him then hit play on the movie. We were watching 'That Awkward Moment' because hello Zac Efron.
"Shh…Niall its starting." He grabs the remote and pauses it.
"There now can you tell me?" I reach for the remote but he moves.
"Niall! You can't just pause a Zac Efron movie!! Gimme the remote." He throws it out of the bedroom. I just gasp and go to get it but he grabs me.
"Nope tell me!" he pulls me so I'm sitting on top of him. He's grinning at me and biting his lips. I pull his lip out from his teeth then just cross my arms.
"I said that I haven't thought about the wedding at all. Can we watch Dreamy Zac now?" He shakes his head. He rolls me over so I'm on my back and he's hovering over me.
"Not even once? You never thought about our wedding night or how damned hot I'm going to look in a suit? Or how Mrs. Clarissa Diana Horan sounds…I like how that sounds…want to know what else I like hearing…your moans from when I--" I slap my hand over his mouth. He licks it and I squeal then try to move but he stops me. "Now where was I?...ah yes I love the way you moan when I make love to you…and how you blush whenever I talk about it. Now tell me you've never thought about us?" I look at the screen and then at the remote in the hallway.
"Yea okay fine…I think about how I can't wait to wake up next to you…and how I can't wait to have your kids." Niall climbs off me and looks at me. Oops. I seize this moment to run out and grab the remote. I get back and Niall is still sitting there staring off in space. I press play and mentally slap myself for saying that. I mean we haven't even set a date…hell we could be engaged for years…and I just fucked up big time. I sink down into the pillows I feel the tears coming. I have to get away…I get up and throw on yoga pants and a jacket. "Clary…where are you going?" I don't look back I just scramble to find shoes. I feel hands on my hips and I'm quickly turned around. "Clary…baby I didn't mean…I just didn't think you thought about that too. Clarissa in order for this to work you can't just run away all the time. We have to talk okay?" I look at him and nod. I take of my jacket and yoga pants. He smiles and pulls me into bed. He starts kissing my neck but I push his face away. "No. Its Zac's time Niall." He groans and pulls me into his chest to cuddle.
"I hate sharing you. Even with movies." I smile and kiss his cheek before turning all my attention to smoking hot Zac Efron.
