So Sick

"You're What?!"

*Cassie's POV*

I anxiously tapped my foot waiting for the boys to go onstage. My stomach twisted and I felt nauseous as the lights went down. My head pounded and my heart beat sped up as I saw 5 boys walk out onstage.

"Proud" is an understatment.

"Yay! Great show!" I yelled running to my husband and kissing his lips. "Thanks babe." He said and took a sip from his water bottle. The boys continued their way to the dressing room, laughing about things that happened during the show. Liam and Louis had a water fight and Harry slipped and fell.
Of course. No surprised there.

Zayn and Niall sang to each other and Louis occasionally made fun of them for it.
Again. No surprise.

But what did surprise me was how quiet the audience was. Everyone just watched and listened. There was no screaming and no throwing of things. The fans just sang along and enjoyed the show. And if I have to be honest, it has to have been their best show ever.

I followed the boys outside and onto the tour bus. Screams died down once the bus started moving and I felt my nerves creep up inside me.

"Cassie? You okay?" Liam asks as he hands me a plate of pizza. "Uh.Yeah. Yeah. I'm good." I lie not wanting to talk about it right now. It's just not the right time.

He shrugs and sits down across from me and soon the other boys join us. "Hey babe. Wait. Are you okay? You look pale." Niall says and I shrug.

"It's 2:30 in the morning. I'm just tired." I snap at him as I take a bite of my pizza.
Everyone stares at me in silence before chowing down on their pizzas.

A few minutes go by before Niall breaks the silence. "We've only been on tour for a couple weeks babe, and you're already tired?" He asks me and I shrug. "I know. I don't know how you guys spend so many months away from home. I'm already feeling homesick." I tell him and he kisses my forehead.

We finished our pizzas and now we are all currently on our phones, well.....except me. I'm just sitting here and staring out the window.

I watch the trees pass by and suddenly I feel my stomach flip.
I place my hand over my mouth, hoping it would make it stop.

"Cassie?" Harry asks but I ignore him. "Are you gonna...?" He begins but it's too late. I jump out of my seat and rush to the very small bathroom in the back of the bus.

I hear Niall rushing to help me and I feel him pull back my long hair so it is out of my face..
"Aw babe. Was it the pizza? I guess it's kinda early in the morning to be eating pizza." He says and my heart drops.

I have to tell him.

I clean myself up and wrap my arms around Niall.
"Was it the pizza?" He asks and I giggle. "No Niall. It wasn't the pizza." I tell him as we walk back to where the other boys are. "Hey Cassie. How are you feeling? Louis says it might be the pizza." Zayn said and I laughed.

"No guys. It wasn't the pizza!" I tell them. "Than what was it? Why are you sick?" Niall asks urgently and I smile. "I'm not sick." I begin. I take a deep breath and decide the easiest way to say it, is to just blurt it out.

So I did.

"I'm pregnant." I tell them and I feel a weight lifted off of my shoulders.

Nobody said anything as I look around at everyone's faces. Everyone seems shocked.

"You're what?" Niall asks as if he didn't understand me the first time.
"I'm pregnant Niall. We're going to have a baby." I say and Harry jumps out of his seat.

"Yeahhhhh!!!!!!! Congrats you guys!" He exclaims and hugs us both. Louis, Liam and Zayn gave us hugs as well. But Niall is just standing there and I'm starting to get worried.

"Niall?" I ask and he looks at me. "Pregnant?" He asks and I nod. "Wow. Really? Wow." He mutters and I giggle. "It's okay Niall. It's going to be okay." I tell him and kiss his lips.

Finally, my husband brushes his hands through his hair and smiles at me. "We're gonna have a baby?" He asks for what felt like the 20th time.

"Yes Niall." I remind him, as the 4 other boys get into their bunks. I look at Niall, he giggles and gets down on his knees. "There's a baby in there." He states, placing his hands on my 'not yet' noticable bump.
"Yeah I guess there is." I say, almost not believing it myself.

"How long have you known?" He asks, walking to our big bed at the back of the bus. "Just found out this morning." I tell him and he looks at me. "I went to the doctor with Lou when you guys had rehearsal. I thought I was pregnant for a while now but I wanted to go to the doctor just to make sure. I didn't want to tell you before the show. I'm sorry." I admit and he shrugs. "It's okay babe. I love you." He tells me as we lay down in bed.

"Are you excited?" I ask, nervously waiting for his answer. Soon, he smiles and looks at me. "Yes. I'm a little scared but excited." He tells me and I feel a calmness come over me. "I feel the same way." I admit and he kisses me.

"Shut up love birds! You have 9 months to store up on sleep. May as well start now and let us sleep too!" Louis calls out.

We lay there in silence, feeling the bumpiness of the road. Niall wraps his arm around my waist and then places his hand on my stomach. I feel his warm breath against my ear as I hear him whisper, "I hope it's a boy."
I slowly fall asleep with my hands on my stomach and a smile on my face.
