"Perrie what's wrong?" Michael asked quietly as he approached the unusually quiet blonde. It had been two years since their engagement and to see her quiet for hours had him more worried than anything. "Love..." He trailed off as she turned around with tears in her eyes. He quickly moved towards her his arms wrapping around her. "Perrie. Please talk to me."
"It's just all of this is so hard. I just want to be able to sit down and plan out the wedding with you instead of having to push everything off because we're doing another tour or we have to travel to do press." He gently rocked her as she vented. He knew that wasn't the only thing on her mind but he knew better than to push.
"Let's just do it then. Fuck it. We both don't want anything big so why don't we just go and do it. I mean we're in Vegas..." He trailed off before she looked up at him like she was crazy. "What.. Jade and Leigh are here... what more do we need?"
"My family and yours." She stated matter of factly earning a chuckle from him.
"My family wouldn't give a fuck except for my mom who we could easily fly out and you know convince you mom, Jonnie and Caitlin to fly out." She looked up at him for a moment before she shook her head.
"It wouldn't be right Baba we need to properly plan this." He nodded before leaving it be knowing they needed to begin their day shortly. His lips pressed to hers before they separated. "Let's change love, the girls are going to be here in twenty." He nodded at her words before they each went to their bags and changed into proper attire instead of their pajamas.
The second the girls arrived Perries slight frown disappeared and her mood instantly changed towards the better. Michael couldn't help but think her attitude was because of him and it made him start going back through everything trying to figure out what he did wrong.
"She's just stressed." Jade commented drawing him out of his mind before he noticed Perrie and Leigh-Anne were gone. "She wanted her happily ever after with you and with that wants everything to be perfect so it's stressing her out." He nodded before following her down the hall as she spoke. "Though I will agree with you she has been acting more weird than normal."
"I just feel like I did something wrong." He commented before she shook her head and pushed the button for the elevator.
"All Perrie has ever said about you is how much she loves you and how you take care of her when she's not even thinking of taking care of herself. She hasn't even mentioned a word about you pissing her off or anything and we both know she comes to me to complain about you every time." He nodded remaining silent as they descended the floors and finally were back with the other two as they stepped out of the elevator.
"Let's do it." Perrie said into Michaels ear as she pulled him close. He looked at her completely confused before she answered the question he was about to ask. "Let's get married tonight." The back of his hand met her forehead earning a confused look.
"You sure you're not sick or something. Why the sudden change..." He trailed off as he noticed Leigh-Anne smirking.
"You owe me breakfast." The darker skinned girl simply said before going to the valet to grab their car. "Also you're driving." She said as she threw the keys at Michael. He nodded before he opened the back doors for the two brunettes before opening the passenger door for the blonde who gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek before she climbed in. As he slid into the drivers seat the blondes hand was instantly in his.
She laced their fingers before he moved their hands to the shifter. It was a common occurrence when they were driving that her hand would remain in along the shifter as they drove down the road. His fingers squeezed hers as he shifter the car into gear her head moving to rest along his shoulder.
The other three in the car could tell the blonde hadn't been sleeping but Michael was the only one who had felt her get up every hour last night. As they silently drove towards the place where the girls next interview was held he could see her eyes droop.
"Is she okay?" Leigh-Anne asked once she noticed the blonde was asleep in the rear view mirror.
"I don't know." To the two in the back Michael sounded defeated. They could all sense something was off with Perrie so the two girls left it be knowing that they didn't need to make his worrying any worse.
When the car stopped an hour later the two in the back exited quietly giving Michael a few moments alone with the blonde.
"Love." He said softly as his lips met her forehead. "Pez we're here love it's time to wake up." Her eyes fluttered open before meeting his. He saw just how tired she was right then and there. "When you're done we're going back to the hotel and you're sleeping." She didn't even fight him. She simply nodded before carefully shifting away from his. As she shook the sleep off he stepped out of the car and moved towards her side.
Once she stepped out of the car his arm wound around her. She was leaning into him still trying to wake up from her short nap. His lips met the top of her head before they separated as they entered the building.
Michael watched on as the three conducted their interview. He could tell Perrie was off as she played with the sleeves of her shirt something she never did unless she was thinking about something that was taking up her mind. Once they were done she just about fell into him her face burying into his chest.
"Shall we ladies?" He commented once he noticed the two others behind the blonde. The two nodded before he moved to pick up his fiancé. Her head fell to his shoulder before her lips pressed to his neck. "Let's head back to the hotel." Once they were at the car he set Perrie down before she slid into the backseat unusual from her normal position next to him in the front.
Jade gave his bicep a gentle squeeze before the two slid into the backseat with their best friend. As Michael climbed into the front seat he couldn't help but notice the fact that her knees were at her chest, her arms wrapped around her legs. The second Jades hand met Perries back the blonde curled into her. As the brunettes arms wrapped around her he saw tears slipping from the blondes eyes.
Leigh-Anne watched as his usually stoic face changed. A frown was prevalent across his face. Slowly Jade leaned back into the other brunette. Her arms moved to wind around the blonde before they both heard words they would never thought they would hear from her again.
"I'm pregnant." Michael could see the two girls stiffen before his head moved to look at the blonde who had all but broken down. Her last two pregnancies ended too soon and they had all but given up on trying as after the last miscarriage she slipped into a deep depression for months. It took her nearly six months to get over the loss of what would've been their second child and they both came to the conclusion that there would be no more trying they would instead look at other options in the future once her hectic life settled down.
Michael parked the car at their hotel before quickly climbing into the backseat. Perrie all but retreated into Jade as the brunette watched his heart break through his eyes. He knew better than to touch the blonde and instead watched as the two brunettes arms wound around her tighter. He could see the smaller girls mouth begin to move against Perries ear trying to get her to tell him what she had told them.
"You just say it to him Jade." He heard the blondes voice after nearly five minutes before Michaels eyes met Jades.
"She's pregnant." His arms instantly moved around the blonde carefully removing her from her friends grasp before she was pulled into his lap. The two brunettes took this as their opportunity to give the couple some space.
The second the car door closed Perrie looked up at him terrified tears in her eyes. His fingertips gently moved to run along her cheek, though she couldn't tell he was wiping away each tear that was falling from her bright blue eyes.
"Mikey I can't lose this one." He could hear how broken she sounded. His hand slipped into her hair before he guided her head into his chest. He held her gently slowly rocking her as his lips pressed to the top of her head. He had no idea what to say. He simply held her as she cried every last tear she could.
Jade and Leigh-Anne found them in the same position hours later the blonde asleep. They could tell the blonde had cried herself to sleep. They didn't even hesitate to climb into the backseat.
"I spoke with Paul and we're taking the night off. Why don't we get her back to your hotel room yea?" Leigh-Anne said quietly before he nodded a long breath escaping his lips. "Somethings going to be different this time I can already tell." When he shook his head she chuckled drawing Jade and his attention towards her. "I'm pregnant too, I just didn't know how to tell you all. To me that's all the sign I need." The smaller woman smashed into the woman speaking shaking the car waking Perrie in the process. She looked between all three of them confused. "You're little nugget is going to have two little nuggets to annoy the hell out of us with."
"Wait... Twins?" Jade asked utterly shocked before Leigh-Anne nodded tears in her eyes. As she was released from the smaller woman's grasp. Perrie slowly moved from Michaels arms a smile growing on her once saddened face. When the two women embraced both felt a relaxing calm wash over their bodies.
"It's going to be different this time." Leigh-Anne said into the blondes ear reassuring her. She nodded before slowly moving from the embrace. As Perrie leaned back into Michael she spoke her next words loud enough for them all to hear.
"This time is going to be different."
