It's going to be okay.

I will be okay.

Everything is okay!

During the exam, Zayn couldn't help but think that this was it, that he was losing his baby. He couldn't see how it happened though he was one week away from four months he was out of the danger zone for miscarriages. How the fuck is this even happening?

"...Malik? Mr Malik are you okay?" the doctor calling his name shook him from his trance. When he finally made eye contact Dr. Reid sent Zayn a small smile. "There we are, okay, it looks as though it was just a bit of spotting which is unusual for you being almost four months but the tests show nothing wrong."

"Are you sure? I didn't even hear a heartbeat?" He said as he eyed the doctor skeptically

"Mr. Malik are you okay? I had the fetal heartbeat playing for a full minute." Dr Reid walked over to the cupboard pulling out an arm band so he could check Zayns blood pressure. "Have you been feeling light headed or anything lately?"

"So my baby is fine?" Zayn asked completely ignoring the question

"The baby is just fine, take a look." He smiled and handed Zayn a sonogram "You can see it's fingers and toes."

Looking at the sonogram Zayn felt a massive weight lift off his shoulders. His baby was okay. He and Louis' baby was okay.

"I'll go get the men you came with while you get redressed. Just take it easy for a few days and of it happens again, I might have to put you on bed rest."

"So I'm pretty sure Damian has a crush on Lux." Louis smiled at his laptop screen looking at Zayn who was lying in bed rubbing soft circles on his belly.

"What makes you say that?"

"While we were doing a few call in interviews he followed her around everywhere and kept asking to play with her hair. It was pretty fucking cute Zayn."

Zayn shifted in the bed hitting the laptop so that his right hand was in plain sight.

"Hey baby, what's that on your wrist?" Louis asked leaning in to screen to read it "Royal London- what the fuck? Zayn you were in the hospital? What happened are you okay? Is the baby okay?"

Zayn sighed taking a few seconds to collect himself. He didn't plan on telling Louis about him going to the hospital until he got home but obviously that wasn't going to happen.

"Zayn!"

The pregnant lad flinched and hesitantly made eye contact with Louis "I was gonna tell you when you got home, I promise." Zayn swore he could feel his heart constrict at the sight of Louis' face. It was an expression of pure pain and heartbreak.

"Something's wrong isn't there? Wh- fuck, Zayn I'm coming home. The lads can do the rest of the promo tour without me, you need me and our kids." Louis made a move to get of the bed getting Zayns attention.

"No-no! Nothings wrong Louis I promise, just had a bit of spotting. Ant and Danny were with me and took me to the hospital, it's okay."

Louis' expression instantly went from worried to angered. "The fuck? They were both with you an neither one of them could call me and tell me that my fiancee was in a hospital, bleeding and probably losing his baby?"

Zayn huffed out a breath and pinched the bridge of his nose "They didn't call because I told them not to unless it was serious. It was just a bit of spotting completely fine. Our baby is fine, look I got a new sonogram."


It was a desperate move throwing up a new photo of the baby in his belly but when the crease between Louis' eyebrows disappeared and his frown turned in to a soft smile, Zayn knew it work.

"You can see the little fingers now." Louis whispered.

"Finger nails and everything babe." Zayn smiled and rubbed his cold fingers over his belly making him flinch "When you get back we can find out if it's a boy or a girl and start decorating the nursery."

Louis' blue eyes watched as Zayn continued rambling about the things they'd do for a little boy or for a little girl. Louis didn't care either way, boy or girl. He knew he'd do everything in his power to make sure they were happy. He'd be there when they learnt to ride their bike. When they got their first crush. When their heart was broken for the first time.

Louis...well Louis never had a dad, Troy walked out on he and Jay so early, but Louis knew he didn't want to be an absent father. The fact that he wasn't their for his boys and Zayn when they were first born still hurt to think about sometimes. Whenever he tried to talk to Zayn about it though he would refuse to talk about it telling Louis to leave it in the past and move on.

"... if we have a girl I don't want her room to be pink it's so cliche and our baby is going to be original from the start." Zayn finished looking wide eyed at Louis once he realized he had just rambled for ten minutes about decorating the nursery. "You should've told me to shut up!" Zayn groaned running his fingers through his hair.

"Babe, I could listen to you talk forever." It wasn't a lie, during the xFactor tour Louis called Zayn every morning and night. Louis was a nervous wreck twenty-four-seven, he couldn't go to sleep without hearing Zayn's voice before bed and he couldn't step on to the stage, after managements relentless beating about his voice or his appearance, without hearing Zayn.


When Zayn would talk to Louis before a concert he would explain to him that his voice was angelic and that management just didn't understand how amazing he really was. He told him to give Harry and Liam time to get their footing before they properly started sticking up for he and Niall. It worked every time.

When Louis was getting ready for bed, Zayn didn't talk about anything in particular, he would talk about how his final year at school was going or tell him something Doniya did to piss him off. Sometimes though they had these deep talks, and they were Louis' favorite, about their lives together after Zayn graduated. They would move in to a flat together in the center of London and Zayn would pound the pavement until he got a internship at a top stylists fashion haus. The would eventually get a dog and once their careers settled and they had a decent schedule, they'd get married and have kids.

It's mad how different things turned out for them.

Louis wasn't even paying attention to whatever new rant Zayn was going on about just then and cut him off "You know, I love you. I love you so much and I just love you."

Zayn smiled biting his lip and blushing at Louis' compliment "Ten years and you still know how to reduce me back to a blushing teen."

"One of my many talents."

There was a knock on Louis' hotel door making him sigh then look back at Zayn who was watching him with wide amber eyes.

"If the bleeding happens again you have to promise to call me Z, I can't find out like this again. I need to know straight away so I can come back to you."

He was looking at Zayn with so much intensity he could feel his heart skip a beat and his blood rush through his body. The knocking on his door intensified waking Elijah who was on the couch closest to the door "I need to go babe, we're off to some studio to do a Skype interview with I don't even know who."

Zayn nodded still shaken from the stare and very quietly whispered "I love you."

[ This was short and filllllllller. The baby is fine so you can stop yelling at me now! Zayn and Louis' relationship is so cute to me I can't explain. Time jump in the next chapter so be prepared. I've chosen what the baby will be and am stuck on a name soooo :D
