~Zayn~
The nerves in my body were high above normal when I was on my way home to my beautiful girlfriend. Sadly, seeing her state brought a shock to my system and waiting for the results during the week was nerve wracking. I stayed strong for the both of us during this time and made sure she was happy. The moment we became engaged brought excitement to my life and made me breathe a sigh of relief. The reminder that we needed to visit the doctor at the end of the week kept us from celebrating but we knew we would find time after.
Finally, the day came to answer all our worries and I felt better, that's not the correct word to describe it, ecstatic, excited, amazed, and the happiest man on earth. The feeling of becoming a dad filled me to my very core and nothing apart from the love of my life and our soon to be wedding could compare to what is happening now. We're going to be parents and have a possible baby boy or girl around the flat in six months.
Looking down at the sleeping form of Litsy with her head nestled between my shoulder and chin I couldn't help but grin. We both had our hands laced together on her small bump. A month from today we would have the next appointment to see the baby and hopefully in two find out the sex of the baby.
Remembering back to the afternoon of the doctor's appointment makes me cringe when I think of Liam's reaction. Let's just say, when he realized what happened to Litsy when we were gone and the fact, I left her alone in her first months of pregnancy were not appealing to him. Needless to say, both Litsy and I got a stern lecture. Litsy for not going to the doctor's and telling us and me for getting her knocked up before our marriage.
His exact words, "Zayn I thought I made it clear when I said to wait until you two were married, not the opposite! I just found out about your engagement, that does not mean you can go ahead and knock her up before you proposed," he sighed loudly shaking his head. "I swear Zayn, have you ever heard of protection? My poor sensitive, fragile, careless, oww, brave Litsy is too young, oww. What the hell Litsy, I'm saying you're young not old, oww. Ok, I get it! I'll shut up." He stopped after Litsy hit the back of his head three times. Once she was satisfied with shutting him up, she made her way back towards me with a smirk; she stood in front of me to stop Liam from continuing his lecture.
I'm thankful that Liam has a soft spot for Litsy because he was no longer mad at me and congratulated us. He beamed at us knowing he was the first to find out about the baby and that he was going to be an uncle. The rest of the day was not as eventful, but we did have more lectures from my parents. They wanted to be the first to find out since they're the grandparents.
I sigh loudly realizing I need to sleep because my parents are coming tomorrow and knowing my mom, she'll be fussing over Litsy and tormenting her that she should rest. Knowing Litsy, she'd rather be moving around and being active; she's told me plenty of times in the past few weeks "I'm pregnant not immobile". I've given up on telling her to rest and let me do the work. Sighing, I close my eyes after feeling my eyelids heavy, no long after I find myself drifting off into a deep sleep.
'Ding, ding, ding'
I groan knowing my parents are here. I quietly slip out of bed and slip on my sweats over my boxers. I quickly head into the bathroom and splash my face with water in hopes of waking up. I dry my face quickly then run my hand through my hair and head downstairs. Opening the door quickly before my mom rings the doorbell again.
"Hi mum" I take note of my dad just barely parking the car and the passenger door wide open. No doubt she jumped out of the car the minute they reached the curb.
"Hi baby, where's Litsy?" Her eyes shined with excitement and she was practically bouncing on her feet.
"Mum she's sleeping, the last few days the baby has been keeping her up late so please DO NOT wake her up." I emphasized for her to get the clue. My mum has been known to be loud when she wants to be.
"FINE Zayn. Have you made them something to eat? You know your fiancé will be hungry." I shook my head with a sheepish smile. "I did not raise you this way boy, you need to keep them well fed. Here, I'll make Litsy something delicious to eat and I'm sure the baby will appreciate it." She said while walking towards the kitchen with a pep in her step.
"Mom you woke me up, we fell asleep pretty late." I turned back towards the doorway to see my dad shaking his head and smirking.
"Zayn she's pregnant. The two of you should not be participating in those activities." My mom said from the kitchen doorway.
"Mum I just said the baby has been keeping her up these past few nights." I told her sternly in order for her to understand.
"Ok Zayn, the BABY has not let her sleep." She teased.
"Forget it mum, I'll be back in two hours. I'm going to catch up on my sleep. Make yourselves at home." I headed towards the master bedroom, closed the door behind me and locked it. I made my way over to my side of the bed, took off my sweats and curled my body around Litsy. The feel of her soft breathing hitting my bare chest lolled me back to sleep.
I felt a soft voice close to my ear calling my name. I turned towards it and felt someone cuddling into me. Again, I heard my name being called, I wrapped my arms around her slim waist and brought her closer to me. I buried my head in her hair taking in the smell of citrus. "Morning Zayn" came her sweet voice. I softly groaned in response and got myself more comfortable using her as a pillow.
"Babe go back to sleep, please sweetheart, I don't want to go out there." I said holding her tighter to me.
"No Zayn, your mom came up a couple minutes ago to say that lunch was ready." I groaned, one thing about these women, they agreed on mostly everything. If mum said something, Litsy would not be too far behind or vice versa. "Come on Zayn! I'm hungry and I want your company." Litsy said pouting with wide eyes. I groaned again, closing my eyes and nodding. I gave our unborn baby a kiss and whispered a small 'morning' before looking up at Litsy.
"Let's take a quick shower before we go down babe that way, we'll be ready for when we leave." She nodded and climbed out of bed. She was wearing one of my shirts because her clothes were becoming tighter for her. Later today we would be celebrating Litsy's birthday, but I told her we would be going on a date. Little did she know, what the boys and I had planned. She tugged on my hand so that I would get up with her.
After taking a quick shower I put on a black shirt, dark jeans and shoes. I ran my hands through my hair then stopped when I received the look I wanted. Exiting the bathroom, I found Litsy brushing her mid-length brown luscious hair. She was wearing a burgundy dress that hid but showed her small bump. Under the dress she wore grey leggings, another type of clothing she wears more often because of her growing belly. Her feet inside Louis latest birthday present.
I came behind her and put my hands on her belly. "Sweetheart you ready?" I asked while I gave her temple a kiss. She nodded while looking at our reflection in the mirror. A frown came to her face when she looked at her belly.
"Zayn, be honest with me, do I look fat?" She asked pouting. Lately her mood swings were all over the place. There were times where she wanted to be alone, others where she was needy, jumping with joy or sad. Right now, she was being needy, I sigh but give her a smile while kissing her cheek.
"No babe, you're beautiful. Your belly is bigger but that's because you're carrying our baby. Hence the reason why you're a little big but nevertheless you're breathtaking. So, get those ideas out of your head." I told her after turning her in my arms and putting my hands on her waist while rubbing my thumbs on her belly. She smiled brightly and gave me a kiss.
"Thank you, Zayn. Now let's go before your mom comes again." She said while tugging on my arm. I had completely forgotten about my mum.
"Calm down sweetheart, I'm right behind you." Walking towards the kitchen we found my mother setting the table.
"About time you two are out, I was starting to think you would never wake up Zayn." My mom said singling me out. I held the chair out for Litsy then pushed it in. I brought a dish to her then brought one for myself before sitting down. I completely ignored my mom and started talking to Litsy about tonight. She smirked knowing full well what I was doing but went along with it anyway. She also knew my mom was slow when it came to this so it would take her awhile to realize what I'd done.

This morning went agonizingly slow because of my mom being there. I love my mom to death despite her wild personality but there's only so much I can handle.
Currently, Litsy was having the time of her life! The boys all had her wrapped in their arms as they talked to our baby. My smile grew when I noticed Litsy laughing and a wide smile on her face as the boys cooed at the baby. Feeling my gaze from across the room she looked over at me, our gaze locked together. Her eyes were shining with amusement, excitement, laughter and so much love that I felt myself melt a little. My heart hammering in my chest whenever I saw that sight, she smiled brightly at me before her attention was drawn to the boys once more.
She was glowing which made this small gathering of friends and family worth it. The minute we walked into Harry's flat she grinned and jumped happily after seeing the banner that said happy birthday future mumma. The boys wanted this birthday to be memorable and one that would be difficult to forget. She hugged me tight and kissed me deeply much to the boy's protests which we both grinned at. We made sure to kiss longer than necessary after hearing their teasing and gagging noises.
Moving out of the living room doorway, I move to the kitchen to get a glass of water. The refreshing liquid helped clear my mind and brought me back to the time when I found Litsy. Having to go months without seeing her shining bright brown eyes. I felt my temper rise just thinking of the bastard of an ex she had. She was a lost soul after what happened, with the help and love of those important to her she came out of the shell she had hidden herself in.
I regret not being there to stop him from taking her and to this day I blame myself from that happening. Ever since I found her that day, I knew my love for her was so deep that I could never see myself without her. I loved the fact that the boys grew to love her as family because I knew down deep, she needed that after losing her family at such a young age.
She had her aunt, but she only called once a year and was all too eager when Litsy left for Uni. She only cared about Litsy being missing because she would get part of the fortune left to Litsy if Litsy kept living with her until she turned 25. The age where Litsy would inherit all the money from her parent's business. Technically, Litsy was rich, she was definitely not with me for my fame and money.
The fans took time to warm up to Litsy but eventually they grew to like her too. Litsy wanted the fans to love her and would always make sure to spend money on snacks for the fans that would wait in line for our concerts. She would make sure there was freshly baked goodies and hot drinks for the cold weather. Those were the few times she was on tour with us and those few times we had homemade food instead of fast food. Being on the road without her was hard for the boys and the fans. Our concerts would always contain twitter questions about Litsy. They knew how important she was to me and the boys.
A smile grew on my face upon remembering the moment when the boys, Litsy and I did a twitcam. Litsy and I announced our engagement and our upcoming addition to the family. There were speculations of us getting married because of the baby. That was shut down the moment pictures of our engagement came out with the date before a picture of us coming out of the hospital smiling and beaming with happiness. The majority of our fans were happy for us and I loved their support.
"Zayn, come here!" I heard Litsy's excited voice and headed towards it. In a few months we would have a little girl or boy around our flat. Life was better than I could ever imagine, and I loved every second of it.
