Something's Changed (One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 20

Deepika's POV

Louis whispered briefly to the mall manager who met us at the back exit of the mall and then the man led us into the main part of the shopping centre.

"We have the entire top floor blocked up for just over an hour and then we can go on the ground floor later but that will have to be done in disguise. If we happen to encounter fans, you will have to act like you didn't acknowledge my presence but when you finally do 'notice' you'll have to help to escort me out to the car again," Louis explained as we finally entered the top floor of the mall, which was also the second storey.

"Sir, ma'am, you are free to shop away on the top floor and don't worry about security as we have guards positioned at every opening where others may potentially enter from. I'll see you in a little while," the man added before disappearing into the corridor that we just came up.

"Where to first Lucas?" Louis asked as he took Lucas's hand into his own.

"Can we go there?" Lucas asked, pointing towards a toy store.

I grinned because I knew that this would be the first place that Lucas would choose to look around in.

Lucas got the go-ahead from both Louis and I so he dragged Louis into the shop. As soon as we entered the shop, Lucas freed his hand from Louis's and rushed to the toys that he preferred.

"Is he always this hyperactive?" Louis asked, laughing as Lucas dashed from shelf to shelf.

"Yeah but mainly when he sees things that he likes; you should've seen him as a baby, he was pretty hyperactive then as well," I replied.

"I wish I knew about Lucas when he was younger; how come you didn't tell me that you were pregnant with our child?" Louis asked.

"I wanted to tell you but I knew that you were doing quite well as a member of One Direction and I didn't want to ruin your career before it even started. Also, I was sort of scared that you would ask me to abort the baby so that we could continue with our lives separately so I chose to keep it to myself," I explained.

"I would never tell a mother to abort their child, even if it is mine because it's really wrong. However, I do understand why you didn't tell me because it actually could've ruined the chances of the other boys; if you had told me, our band wouldn't have where it is right now."

"In Manchester?" I teased on purpose, making Louis laugh.

"Yeah, in Manchester. If I didn't get to Manchester, I would've never found out about the rest of my family. By the way, I think Lucas needs help with all of them toys," Louis said and so I followed his gaze onto my child, only to find him draped in about 10 different toys.

"Really Lucas? I'm pretty sure that I was clear when I said that you can't buy too many things."

"Hey if my son wants all of these toys then he is going to get all of these toys, you do not have a say in this," Louis sassed me before taking the toys off the little one and carrying them all to the till at the other end of the shop where a cashier stood.

I rolled my eyes as I walked out of the store and decided to wait outside for the pair who seemed quite busy paying and collecting the toys.

Meanwhile, I gazed through the windows of the shop next door which was selling jewellery. There was this one bracelet that stood out to me and my gaze was stuck upon until I heard someone calling my name.

As soon as I turned around to see who it was, our heads collided and my lips connected with their cheek, accidentally.

"I'm so sorry," we both said in sync and I rubbed my head before looking to see who had collided with me.
