New Family, New Step-Brother, and Zayn (Zayn Malik Fan Fic)

Chapter 26: Paranoid...

--Ally's POV--

**TWO DAYS LATER**

Zayn was going to be here in two short days along with the boys. They were going to stay until I deliver and then a week after that. They did their last concert in Dallas the night I called him. They left the day after and they are probably on a private plane now. I missed him so much and I was excited to see all of them. I have become a bit more paranoid though because of what Amber had told me. "You could pop at any moment..." her voice kept ringing in my head. What if I did "pop" and Zayn wasn't here.

I was constantly looking down at my stomache making sure that I was well I don't really know what I was looking for, just looking. I guess it made me feel better knowing that I was still big. I wouls have never thought I would ever say I feel better being fat. I remember when my parents were still together I was always at the gym, on diets and just swimming until I couldn't feel my legs. I wasn't or I am not a girly girl I just used to get made fun of in elementary school and middle school because I was chunky. I made a promise to myself that I would stay thin but I kinda broke that.

I walked down the stairs and waited for Amber to get home from school. It felt nice knowing that she looked up to me as not only a friend but a mother figure. She says that I am the closest thing to a mother that she has ever had. She was three years old when her mother died from breast cancer and went to live with Perrie. Since then she has been with Perrie. She went to Perrie when she got adopted by her. Perrie had adopted her because no one else wanted her. Perrie was already livng on her own at 16. Amber was five years old when that happened and she says no matter how rude Perrie is to her she will always love her because she helped her when no one else wanted to. That made me look at Perrie with a whole new perspective and I could if I really tried warm up to her.

Amber was inviting her boyfriend over to hang out and work on their science project. I wanted to make them a snack but something better than usual. I usually only made grilled cheese, ham sandwiches, and average afterschool snacks. I decided to run to the market two blocks away and get a couple of pies, candies, and chips. I got two pumpkin pies and like ten packs of Hershey bars and two family sized Dorito chip bags. I even got some snacks Niall wouls enjoy when he came back.

Niall and I had grown very attached to each other. He calls me every night before he goes to sleep and texts me in the morning. We even have nicknames for each other. I am Ally Cake you know because he loves food and he is my Teddy Bear because he gives out the best hugs ever. Niall is literally my best friend which is really cool because my two best friends are dating each other. Don't get me wrong I love the rest of the boys with all of my heart and they are my best friends too but I have that really special connection with Niall that you only have with a few people.

I went to checkout and after I was done I walked home with the groceries. They were a bit heavy but I managed up until a couple of blocks. I took a break because I was tired and set the bags down. I picked them up and immediately one of the was taken away.

"Here lemme help you with that." A guy said. He looked around my age and trustable so I let him walk with me.

"Thanks." I replied with a soft smile.

"No problem." He returned the smile.

"So what's your name?" I asked.

"Mark what about you?" He asked.

"Allison or Ally." I replied.

"That's a nice name." He complimented.

"Thanks. I like your namr too." I smiled.

"So I don't mean to get into your personal business and all but what are you having?" He askes looking at my stomache.

"Oh a boy." I replied.
