"She was supposed to pop this sucker out two weeks ago. Is something wrong with her?" Harry asks in annoyance.

"My daughter isn't a sucker. Call her that again and I'll f*ck you up." I threaten but he just laughs. Little does he know that I mean every word. 

"I don't think she should be outside in November. It's freezing and she could get frostbite or something. I don't know what Jade was thinking taking her out there." Harry says and we both look out the window at our girlfriends.

They wanted to go outside to get some fresh air and Flower offered to even rake the leaves in the backyard. I told her that she shouldn't be doing so much work but, of course she didn't listen to me and now she's having a rake-battle with Jade.

We laugh as Flower swings the rake at Jade's ankles but she quickly jumps up to avoid the blow. Jade tries to get her back but Flower points to her stomach as if to tell her that she can't be touched as long as there's a baby in there.

Jade scowls at her but Flower lightens the mood but opening her palm and trying to balance the rake on her hand. They laugh at her many attempts to keep the rake steady and Jade begins trying it too.

The yard is nearly clear of leaves but then a gush of wind sends new ones falling from the trees. I laugh loudly and Harry opens the window to shout, "You missed some!"

"I f*cking know!" Jade yells back and then looks down at all the newly fallen leaves. "Bloody hell," she mutters.

Harry shuts the window and we both continue to watch them rake leaves once again. If it were anyone else raking leaves, I'd be bored out of my mind but seeing Flower having fun with her friends makes her smile and I could watch that glow all day everyday.

F*cking beautiful, that's what she is.

"You done daydreaming, Malik?" Harry teases and I punch his bicep.

"I saw you doing the same so piss off." I call him out and his cheeks flush, proving my point.

I take a sip of coffee from my mug and Harry turns his attention back out the window. "Hey," he leans closer to the glass. "Where'd they go?"

I stare out the window and don't see the familiar blonde hair that is my girlfriend. "Maybe they just went to the pond in the back?" I suggest.

"That's far back into the woods and it's getting kind of dark out. I'm gonna go find them. It isn't safe out there." Harry says and scurries to grab his coat and boots.

Right as he slams the back door, I set my mug down and yell, "Well don't just leave me here!"

"Have you seen the pond out back?" Perrie asks me as she tries to brush a leaf from her hair.

I drop my rake and go help her remove the tangled leaf. "There's a pond out there?"

"Yup! It's real pretty. Wanna go see it? I'm pretty sure I know where it's at. We'll have to do a bit of walking though." she tells me and I nod.

I drop my rake a begin walking into the forest in front of her. "Harry and Zayn can do the rest."

She laughs and catches up to walk alongside me. The first few minutes of our walk are silent but I don't mind. It gives me time to think about things. About her and her baby. I've been thinking a lot about that lately and I wonder if Perrie has too.

"Pez, are you scared?" I ask her.

"Scared of what?" 

"Of...you know...having a baby?" I timidly ask.
