~~~(Eleanor's P.O.V)~~~

I cradle Tyler in my arms as I drift around backstage of The Alan Carr Show. The applauding of the audience in the background obviously means something embarrassing was just said and to be honest, I hope its about Lou so I can tease him about it for the rest of his life, not like the rest of the band wouldn't let him down on it either.

A loud,clear chant,"BRING HER OUT! BRING HER OUT!" echo's down the backstage hallways. I look around anxiously as a stage tech with her beach blond hair makes her way towards me with "The Alan Carr Show STAFF" printed across her black shirt. I glance down at Tyler who is wincing, the poor thing probably just woke up. "Are you Eleanor?" The female stage tech asks me. I nod and smile, "Yes." "Alan wants to bring you out on stage, will you please follow me?" I had no chance to respond as she already turned her back and started walking away. I hold onto my little bundle of joy tighter as the echo-ing gets louder and louder.

I now come to a set of glowing purple stairs and the stage tech smiles and says, "Be careful!" "Thanks" I smile as I slowly go down the stairs. At the third step I come out from behind the wall that was seperating the backstage from the stage and the audience goes CRAZY! I can't help but blush at the fact that Louis is already waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs with a smile on his face mouthing, "I love you."

~~~( LOUIS' P.O.V )~~~

I watch as Eleanor makes her way down the glowing staircase with Tyler in her arms. She looks absolutely gorgeous. I extend my arm, opening my hand as she carefully takes it, quickly glancing down at Tyler to make sure he's not slipping, and then she looks in my eyes. I smile and help guide her down the last couple of steps until she reaches the floor.

She then props Tyler up on her side and lets go of my hand to wave to the audience that is waving,screaming, and practically dying over excitement in front of her. I wave too and take her hand again as I lead her over to the giant couch that the rest of the lads are at. Giddy smiles plastered on their faces and Alan.. well he is fan girling and smiling as if this was me and El's wedding. As we get to the couch I sit down and pull Eleanor into my lap, making her laugh. I absolutely love that laugh.

Alan has the biggest smile on his face and says, So you must be Eleanor..AND WHO'S THIS ONE!?" directing his attention at Tyler.  Eleanor cuddles into my shoulder as she looks down at Tyler and flashes her eyes up at me. I smile and respond for her, "This is Tyler, our little one." She nods her head and kisses me on the cheek, making all the girls in the crowd go crazy again.

"So you guys already have had a baby together?" Alan asks not sure what to make of the situation. I feel Eleanor's body tense. Its very quiet and then she sighs. Oh god she's going to.. "The baby isn't Louis'.. the baby is mine and an ex of mine. I was pregnant at 16/17." She says then biting her lower lip. I can't believe she just told the world the truth, that is so strong of her.

"WHORE!" A girl in the audience shouts, making Eleanor's body go from tensing to trembling."Don't listen to them." I whisper in El's ear trying to calm her. Alan nods his head, "It's understandable.. my friend got pregnant at 16 too. Everyone in life makes mistakes. From small ones to big ones. I'm happy that you found someone like Louis who doesn't think of you as a 'whore' like that peasant said in the crowd."

Everyone in the studio claps and Eleanor wipes a tear from her eye. I should'e told her that when the truth does get out that haters were going to be saying things like that.

~~~(Eleanor's P.O.V)~~~

I look back down at Tyler and then at Alan, "Would you like to hold him?" It's the least I could do for what he just said,understanding and backing me up. Alan's face brightens up like a light bulb as Louis unwraps his arms from my torso and lets me get up. I walk towards Alan and he gently takes Tyler out of my hands and plops him on his lap. "Well hello there Tyler!" He says while bouncing him up and down. I smile and walk back to Louis where he pulls me into his lap again.

"Yeah he's a cutie." Zayn says as he stretches backwards. "He's going to be bat-baby when uncle Liam gets a hold of him." Liam says with a wink, I can already picture him putting a batman costume on Tyler..oh god. 

"So how old is he?" Alan asks while trying to mold Tyler's hair into a mohawk.

"5 1/2 months"

"AWWW" The crowd coos, making me smile. I look over to see the lads to see them on their damn phones. Ugh.

~~~~Later on that evening

-Follow me and everything'll be alright. I promise I'll be the one to tuck you in at night, and if you leave I can guarantee you won't find nobody else like me..-

But Louis' version went more like...

"Sleep with me and everything'll be alright. I promise I'll be the one to ef you up at night, and if you want to leave I can guarantee you wont find nobody who can hip thrust like me.."

I'm laughing so hard that it hurts my sides. I found a special one no doubt about it.. more like a special needs one. I glance up at Louis to see him turn his head fast as if he wasn't staring at me. After I've finally calmed down from my laugh attack I giggle and say,"Caught you!" He throws his hands up and yells,"Really!?!" Which just causes me to laugh again.

I turn around to see Tyler fast asleep in the baby carrier, it never hurts to double check. Any mother would understand that, trust me. But being a mom at 18 isn't the greatest thing but it isn't the worst.

Louis places his hand on the gear shift and I place mine over his, intertwining our fingers together. This is perfect, just like this. I wish I could say we were a family. Is it bad that I want us to be a family?

 I turn my head and look out the window, watching as we zoom past the endless amount of trees. My eyes then mosey on over to the car side rear view mirror, where there a black pickup truck following us, looking as if it's speeding up faster and faster.

I quickly turn my attention to the back windshield to see the truck license plate. 'JHS-0007' I recognize those numbers I just can't remember where or why or..

(Flashback)

I'm laying on the workshop floor with Jimmy as he continues to do body work on his truck. He just got it, brand new. Black Ford 360 with chrome grill. I watch as he places on the new license plate. "JHS-0007!!" I sing out loud, trying to make a catchy tune of it. "And you'll always remember it babe" he winks as he screws in the final bolt.

(End of Flashback)

My body freezes, this can't be happening, why Jimmy? Why now? Before I can scream,yell or do anything there's a loud, ear piercing noise followed by my body jerking forward and hitting my head on something very hard. Now it's all black, can't see a thing, can't hear a thing. Just me and my own thoughts and a wet substance trickling down my face.
