I sat at the table, gathering Alanas things as I heard my father.
"Take her home my boy. Nobody should be suffering with sickness".
I glanced over to him giving him a nod. Alanas mom gave me a smile as I walked over and explained what was wrong. She nodded and let me take her home with me. As I grabbed her purse I heard her. She was yelling at Alex. Why the hell was he with her?
"So Aussy, your date. I didnt know humans were your thing". Natalie smiled, taking a sip of her wine.
"Shes all I need". I spoke, clearly annoyed.
"Yes but Charlotte over there has been eyeing you all night. Maybe take her for a spin. She can give you more". Natalie smiled and grabbed my hand trying to pull me to the weird blonde. I grabbed her back quickly, feeling my eyes turn.
"Leave. Me. Alone". And that's when i heard a scream.
I fled out of the dining room as I noticed Alana wasnt standing outside the bathroom door anymore. I kicked the door in to see Alex, lifting up her dress. The fire inside of me released as I grabbed him, lifting him off the ground".
End of flashback
Austin POV
Alana laid in my arms as i listened to the rain hitting the window. It was four in the morning, the sunset barely over the horizon. The warmth of her body keeping my sanity. She was asleep finally. After she took some nausea medication. I turned down to her, leaving small kisses down her face. I didnt want to wake her but her thoughts were up. Her thoughts showed me her throwing up and worried, but something wasnt right. She was still sick, even in her dream. If it was a stomach issue she would be okay by now. It's been hours.
I moved slowly, so I didnt wake her as I laid my head on her stomach. That's when I heard it. That wasnt her. I quickly pulled away and got out of bed, grabbing my phone. Liam answered on the first ring.
"What"? He asked.
"We have a problem. How soon can you get here".
* * Alana POV
I woke up to an empty bed this morning. Where was he? I got up and wrapped my robe around myself. I checked his office first, nothing. As I made my way downstairs I saw him, shirtless as him and Liam were going over something on paper. Normally he would have turned around but he didnt. It was like he didnt care to. Did I make him mad? I walked past both men and went to the coffee. Seconds later he was behind me.
"Dont ever think that again. I was just busy princess". He smiled and gave me a peck.
He moved the chairs out of my way as I walked to the table. "Okay why are you acting weird"? I asked
"Hows the nausea this morning Lani"? Liam asked me.
"I'm okay right now. Little dehydrated but I'm okay". I said.
Austin kept his gaze on me. "Would you mind calling the doctor after work? He asked.
I scrunched my face in confusion. "Sure, why"? I asked. This was freaking me out.
Austin's phone broke the conversation as he walked off. I glared at Liam. "Okay what gives". I demanded but he stood up, putting his hands in surrender. "I have no words.
Days like this I wish I could read their minds..

Later in the day once work was over I called my doctor. I told him I just needed a check up because I wasnt feeling well. So now I sit here and wait in the waiting room. Why was Austin so worried? I felt fine.
"Alana Karter". The nurse called. I stood up and followed her.
"The doctor will be in". She smiled and shut the door.
I knew he would he listening.
"I hope you're happy. I'm at the doctor". Seconds later my phone vibrates to his text.
"Thank you".
I rolled my eyes as the doctor came in. He gave me a smile and at down.
"Miss Karter. What brings you in"? He asked and checked my chart.
"Well the past couple days I havent been feeling well. I think I'm dehydrated from the puking". I spoke and he nodded.
"Well we will check it out. Do you mind if I use a sonogram, that way we can check your stomach without the MRI". He asked and I nodded.
Once he left i got another text from Austin.
"Calm down. I can heart your heartbeat from here".
You think that's bad. Try sitting here, alone". I texted back.
"On my way".
I didnt want him to waste his time here. He out of everybody should be resting. As I waited the nurse came in and gave me some water.
"Ms. Karter, I just have a few questions before we begin. Um, are you sexually active"? She asked.
"Yes". I spoke.
"When was your last menstrual cycle"? She asked.
I drew a blank. When was it? Seconds later a nurse let Austin in the room. He was fast. My heart was beating faster as she asked me again.
"Do you not remember your last cycle"? She asked and all I could do is shake my head.
"Lay back for me please". She smiled and looked at Austin.
She lifted my shirt a bit, placing some sort of white tissue paper in the waistband of my pants. Austin held my hand as the other nurse dimmed the lights. She placed this very cold liquid on my stomach as she placed the sonogram down.
This cant be happening? Niall told me it was impossible. Harry joked about it but also said the same thing. I looked frantically at Austin as his eyes stayed glued to the screen.
"Well you surely dont have the stomach flu. Congratulations mommy, your pregnant". The nurse smiled.

Tears welled up into my eyes as I stopped breathing. "W-what"? I questioned.
The two nurses giggled as one printed out the sonogram. The lights came back on and she handed me the black and white film.
"About 8 weeks, congratulations". And with that she walked out of the room.
I stared at Austin in disbelief.
"Austin"? I called to him but he stayed quiet.
"How did you know"? I asked and that broke him from his trance.
"Last night. Your dream. It confused me. I laid my head on your stomach and there was another set of thoughts. I heard its thoughts". He said and stood up, storming out of the room. Great, I'm pregnant and alone.
