Liam's POV

Today was valentines day and Harry had requested he take Giselle out to a special dinner, which gladly Andie had agreed too, so I had a few ideas up my sleeve for her.

She was now nearing her one and a half month mark and was starting to show a little bit. When I would wake up and see that se was still sleeping I'd pull her night shirt up and place warm butterfly kisses along her small belly. I was utterly excited, but it seems as if she has been pregnant for ages, I just want to meet my baby already. I sound like a little 5 year old boy.

Ding dong, ding dong..... I heard the front door bell ring. "That must be Harry" I thought to myself. I walked down the hall from the kitchen to open the door.

"Hey ma-" I cut off cause it wasn't Harry at the door, it was a mid-forty year old man with a big brown delivery box.

"Good evening sir... may I help you?" I asked a bit confused.

"Yes, good evening. You are Mr. Payne? Correct?" he asked.

"That is me." I stated matter-of-factly.

The man pulled out a clipboard and a pen. I quickly signed my name on it as he handed me the box.

"Be careful with that, it's quite fragile," he instructed.

"Thank you," I politely said as I took the box into the living room. There was only a bow and a card. I was excited to open it. "Thought you might need this in the future, love Mum and Dad," I read aloud. I carefully opened the cardboard box and saw pieces of wood cushioned by plastic bubble wrap. I took everything out and got my tools from under the kitchen sink to begin arming this wooden monster. Once I had finished I looked back at my creation. My excitement had gotten the best of me. "I'm going to be a dad," I began to cry. I've never felt so excited but scared in my life.

"Babe," I heard Andie's voice emerge from the hall. She sounded more tired than before she got pregnant.

"Just go back to sleep," I rubbed my eyes.

It was too late. She had already seen me. "Liam are you-" she looked over to the crib that stood in the middle of the room. "A crib?"

"My parents sent it as a valentines day present," I tried to pull myself together.

"A crib," she began to sob.

"We're going to be a family," I placed my hand on her small bump.

Giselle's POV

"What's all the commotion about," I yawned as I made my way to the family room. I was caught off guard by the two who so happened to be crying over a crib. "A crib," I gasped.

"A crib," they both called out in excitement.

I couldn't help but hug them both. They were becoming a family and I was in the middle of it all.

"I'm so happy for the both of you," I laughed. "And since we are here, I need to speak to the both of you."

They both looked at me in surprise. I guided them to Liam's large black leather sofa while I took the seat on the small coffee table in front of them. "I think I should move out."

"What? Why," Andie asked.

"Well," I nervously twisted my fingers in the tips of my hair. "You two are engaged and having a baby. I don't want to get in the middle of that. I just think it's best that I let you two live alone. You know, threes a crowd."

"Absolutely not," Liam objected. "You can stay here as long as you want."

"But you two need space for a growing family. If anything, I'll just be a pain in the arse."

"No sissy. I'm going to need someone when Liam's not here-"

"Which is why I'll visit," I squeezed her hand reassuringly. I let out a prominent sigh. "I'll try to find a place of my own and a job. I can do this."

"Are you sure? You're only eighteen," Liam sounded very fatherly.

"You left your place at sixteen," I objected.

"But I had-" Andie had stopped him this time. She looked swiftly at him with a weird look in her eyes. "You can stay here until you find a place and most importantly a job."

"I won't let you down," I kissed her cheek and gave her a long well deserved hug.

Ding dong...ding dong, the doorbell rang until Liam got off the couch and went to answer it. "Hey mate," Liam greeted. "Harry's here," he announced.

"Shit, I'm not dressed," I looked down at my shorts and tank top that I slept in.

"I'll stall," Andie had given up her motherly mask.

She almost ran to keep the two boys occupied while I ran for the guest room that was mine. "Is that her," I heard Harry's voice as I made a run for the room. I went straight for the bathroom to brush my teeth and dab on mascara. I couldn't find any clean clothes, so I ran to the laundry room and grabbed the first shirt I saw and my skinny jeans. I sped back to my room and threw the clothes on. "Dammit, I got Liam's tee," I groaned at Liam's favourite white tank top with the British flag on it. "I'll just go with it."

I made my way to the three in the kitchen and grabbed an apple. "Hiya," I tried to play it cool.

"Is that my shirt," Liam pointed out.

"Crap," I threw my head back. "I thought you wouldn't notice."

He chuckled it off. "Keep it. You look better in it than I ever did."

"Objection," Andie yelled. "I liked this shirt on you."

"On another note, hey you," Harry spoke up.

"Hi yourself," I cheekily smiled.

"Ready for our date tonight," he winked.

"Maybe," my stomach turned at what I had spoken to Andie and Liam about. I was gonna tell Harry and I was scared of what he might say.
