Niall POV

Looking into the mirror, I knew that having Lou coming over to get us "fixed" was the best idea David ever had. Well maybe not the best but still a good one. I move to get a closer look at my blonde hair, pulling on it here and there.

"You like?" I look over to the side and find Lou standing next to me, a big fat grin spread all over her face.

"I actually do. I was scared at first but I should have known that I can trust you." I smile back at her, turning away from the mirror.

"Well, yes you should have. But it's good that you know now. And be prepared.. I haven't told the others but Caroline will be coming over tomorrow, and believe me when I tell her that she's going to bring more bags than I have brought today." Oh I don't doubt that for a second. I remember Caroline dressing us up during the X-Factor time and for a few performances here and there. She is actually the best stylist ever. But Lou is right. I better be prepared. You never know what Caroline has in store for us.

"Thanks for letting me know. And for doing my hair." I quickly lean forward and hug Lou briefly, scared to hurt her and the baby.

"I'm getting bigger and bigger.", she sighs, moving her hand of her womb.

"Yeah you actually do. But you look happy."

"I am the happiest I have ever been." Her face lights up, smiling brightly.

"See you next week, Niall." She waves before she leaves the room and me behind. A few moments later I hear the other boys saying goodbye to her and her crew and the front door being shut.

I walk away from the mirror to meet my "crew" in the living-room. They're all squeezed together, sitting on one couch instead of using all three. I shake my head and sit down. Not wanting my private space being invaded, I go with the smaller of the three couches, having it all to myself.

"You look good, Horan. Those blonde highlights really suit you." Louis bursts out into laughter, holding his stomach.

"I quite like it. Lou did a good job. Can't wait to show off my new haircut."

"You better show Kelsey. I wanna know if she approves." Liam nods into my direction, winking at me. Oh I bet Kelsey does approve. How can she not? I'm a fit boy.

"I'll ask her and will let you know." I meet Liam's gaze, smirking confidently.

"Okay. So what time is it? I'm actually starving. I hope David will take us to a restaurant first. I can't start rehearsals without being fed." Louis speaks not only for himself but also for me. I haven't had anything apart from a banana, which I stole out of Harry's basket. He doesn't like to share them and makes sure that they're safe. I wonder how long it's going to take to notice that one is missing.

"Oh David better will or I have to kick his arse...", Zayn mutters. Zayn never swears so I'm quite shocked of his choice of words.

"Who wants to kick my arse?" We all look up and find David leaning against the door frame, arms crossed in front of his chest.

"Zayn. We're hungry. Please tell us you brought some food."

"I haven't. But we're gonna stop somewhere. And rehearsals won't take that long today so you should be home for tea, which you will cook." Cooking? The five of us? I doubt that's a good idea. I will definitely stay away from pots and pants, otherwise I might burn the house down.

"You have to take us grocery shopping soon. Our fridge is empty."

"It's not. You've got everything you need. And now, this discussion is over. Get up. We have to get to the studio." David doesn't have to say this twice. We all jump up, and hurry after him. Preston and Paddy are already waiting for us outside. They push us into the big black van and close the car door once we're all inside. It all happens so quickly that I can't process it. Not even then when the vehicle comes to a stop and I find myself in front of the studio.
