I wake up in the morning with Zayn next to me. We made up last night and had fun. Everyone went home and Scarlett, for once, didn't wake me up in the middle of the night.

I slowly get out of bed without waking Zayn up and I walk to the bathroom.

I have a shower, do my hair, change into clothes - A pair of denim shorts, because its hot and a simple plain black shirt.

I blow dry my hair and straighten my hair. I walk out of the bathroom but Zayn isn't in bed. I suddenly hear Scarlett crying, then she's quiet, I walk into her room and Zayn is cradling her in his arms.

"Aww" I say "father and daughter"

"Whatever" Zayn mutters, I giggle and leave the room into the kitchen. I take out a bowl and a spoon, I grab my absolute favourite cereal and pour it into the bowl followed by milk. I pick up my bowl and walk into the lounge room, I turn on the TV and sit down on the couch.

Zayn walks in with Scarlett, she is already 3 months. He goes into the kitchen and makes some baby food for Scarlett and gets food for him. After 10 minutes he comes out of the kitchen holding Scarlett's baby bowl and a bowl full of cereal for him. Zayn comes and sits down next to me on the couch and we both sit and watch TV while he is feeding Scarlett.

*30 minutes later*

*knock knock*

Theres a knock on the door, I stand up and walk towards the door, I open the door and there stands Gracie and Harry.

"Hey. What are you guys doing here?" I say

"We're fine, thanks for asking" Gracie says sarcastically

"Come in" I say

"Hey" Zayn says while they enter the living room

"Hi" Gracie says

"Hey" Harry says

"So...um, Mel, I gotta tell you something, in the bedroom, in private" Gracie says

"Um.. okay" I say and we both walk into Zayn and I's bedroom, she shuts the door behind her and sits on the bed.

"Okay, I haven't told Harry yet... I mean I was gonna, but then I chickened out." She pouts

"What? Why? You know your gonna be showing soon and he's bound to find out" I say

"I know, I know. But it's so hard" She says

"I can tell him if you want" I offer but she shakes her head,

"No, no... I think I'll tell him today" She assures me

"Okay, how long has it been?" I ask her

"Well, I went to the doctor yesterday and he said I'm only 2 months pregnant" She says

"Okay, when are you planning on telling your mum?!" I remember Gracie has to tell her Mum as well.

"I totally forgot about her!" She says

"Will she be angry?" I ask

"I don't know" She says

"Okay" I say "Well, I'm happy and excited for you"

"Thanks" She says

"Oi, and you do know that Zayn and Harry are eavesdropping on our conversation" I say

"Oh yeah, I know, but they can only hear us mumbling" She says

"Yeah" I say

We both walk out of the room and just as we suspected Zayn and Harry fall forward when I pull the door open.

"Hi" Zayn says

"Do you want me to murder you?" I say with my hands on my hips, Gracie walks up behind me and walks past me into the kitchen, I follow her.

"Tell him now" I say once we get un the kitchen

"I can't" She says "What if he doesn't even want a baby"

"Okay, I'll ask" I say just as Zayn and Harry walk through the door

"Harry, How do you feel about kids?" I ask

"Um.. why?" He asks

"Because" I say

"Why?" He says again

"ANSWER THE QUESTION!" I yell

"Okay, okay, um.. I don't know, it would be ... um ... happy to have a family I guess" He says

"Okay, Gracie has something she wants to tell you" I say

"What?! No!" She says

"Uh, yes" I say

"What? fine, okay" She says and I smile

"Harry, can we talk privately" Gracie says

"Sure" He says

They leave the room and leave Zayn and I together

"Okay, what is it?" He says

"Whats what?" I say

"What she's telling Harry" He says

"I don't know" I say

"Yeah, you do" He says

"I won't tell you" I say

"Okay then" He says and turns around but quickly turns back around and starts tickling me

"No! st-st-stop, okay,okay, I'll tell you" I say between laughs. He immediately stops and look up
"Speak" He says

I quickly run around him and run into the lounge room and run to the back of the room so Zayn can't tickle me but he runs up to me and starts to tickle me again.

"Okay!" I say "I'll tell you" But he doesn't stop "She-She-She's P-Pregnant" I say laughing

"What?" He stops tickling and look at me

"Yeah" I say "aren't you happy?" I say

"Uh, yeah, sure" He says and walks
into the kitchen, I follow after him

"Hey" I say "whats wrong?"

"Oh, nothing" He says

"I know something-" I immediately stop because last time we had this conversation he yelled at me. I look towards the ground and suddenly the tile kitchen floor becomes so interesting.

"Hey" He says and lifts my chin up with his hand "Whats wrong?"

"Nothing, its just last time we had this conversation it didn't end up well" I say and look back down

"I'm sorry" He says "For yelling at you, forget that happened, I want you to ask me whats wrong" He says "and I want you to keep asking it till I tell you, no matter what I do, I'll always love you annoying me" He says

I laugh at him and suddenly Gracie and Harry burst through the door ...

**hey guys, future Jess here. I've officially edited that big mistake I made where everyone got confused of Gracie's pregnancy revealing. I've taken it out of chapter 20 and placed edited and left it in this chapter.**
