{Louis' POV}

I am known for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. I open my mouth, blab out the things I shouldn't, and then generally someone has to cover for me. Once when I was younger my uncle actually told someone that I had an rare disease of 'big mouth'. Quite rude actually.

When you first meet someone, you know nothing about them. You don't know their background, their feelings, their personality, their story. You don't know them.

Sure someone might tell you about them, but personally, you know nothing about them.

"Why have you got us all here again?" I ask Jesy, slumping further down in my spot on the couch. I have Zayn to my left, Harry to my right and Jordan Kiffin is at the end of the couch. Jade, Leigh, Perrie, Dani and Liam are also scattered around the room as Jesy walks over to us.

"I have to tell you something. Some of you already know, some of you don't," Jesy replies, taking a seat on the couch next to Leigh- Anne. This is Leigh- Anne who is smiling like she's never smiled before.

"What is it?" Harry questions, worry in his voice as he sits upright.

"Um, obviously my Jordan isn't here, but I can now safely tell you all," Jesy says.

"She's pregnant!" Jade blurts. Excuse me what the fuck?

"Jade!" Perrie whacks her as Jesy rolls her eyes.

"You're pregnant?" Harry asks, shocked now.

"Yep," Jesy nods, her face all lit up and a big smile spread across it. Well this is exciting. Finally, Jesy and Jordan are actually having a baby. Jesy is going to be a Mum. After everything that has happened for her, it's actually happening. Well the roller coaster is going up again!

"Congratulations!" Dani cheers and we all cheer three times for Jesy as she goes bright red. I like embarrassing people. Apparently I'm pretty good at that too. But, not a bad type of embarrassing. A sweet one... if that's possible.

"How far along are you?" Zayn asks, also smiling. Well that's new! Zayn hasn't smiled for a while. But, how could you not smile? Jesy's going to have a baby!

"Ten weeks. And I know that it's early to be telling you guys, so please don't go telling anyone else. But yeah, I trust you all," Jesy replies.

"This is great, Jes. Really great!" I smile at her, standing up and going and giving her a tight hug.

This proves that you just got to keep dreaming until your dreams come true. As long as you don't give up, you keep trying, you keep moving forward, you drive yourself.

"What names do you like for the baby?" Harry asks. "Without that sounding too early. I mean, surely you have some," Harry adds and we all laugh along with Jesy.

"Yeah, there's a couple I like, but Jordan doesn't really agree," Jesy replies. Well, she has to carry the baby for nine months and then push it out. I think she deserves some extra say! And plus, I prefer Jesy to Jordan.

"Spill!" Jade demands.

"Um, well for a girl we have, although it's common, Lucy," Jesy says and we nod in agreement. It's a pretty name. "Charlotte, Lillian, Milly and Grace," Jesy tells us.

"Charlotte is pretty," Danielle tells her.

"Lillian. Isn't that too close to Lillie?" Leigh- Anne asks her. We all laugh and Jesy nods her head in agreement.

"Yeah, that was Jordan's idea," Jesy shakes her head. Jade asks what the names for boys are and we all listen in. "Well, I like Lucas and George," Jesy tells us. They're sweet names.
