Beside You [ZaynxLuke mpreg] *edited*

*Zayn is 6 months now*

*Luke's POV*

"You know the doctor told you to be careful. We really don't want a repeat of what happened last month," I said into the computer camera. I was currently in America with the band on the next leg of the tour, and I really hated having Zayn at home with Peighton. At least he had his mom there, and I know Liam wouldn't let him survive these next three months alone. I heard him scuff, but I knew he had a smile on his face.

"So, I can't go check up on my baby girl while she's taking a nap. Besides, I was alone in the house. My mom went to go get some groceries because we are dangerously low on Mac and Cheese." He laughed. I laughed with him knowing Peighton was going through this phase where she wouldn't eat anything but something bad for her.

"Just be careful yeah. Now get some sleep. It must be late there," I said, pulling out my phone.

"It's only 1 am, but I guess I'll go to bed. I love you," He said. I smiled at him and made a kissy face at him. He made one back, and hung up. I closed the computer, and tossed it to the side. I leaned back on the bed I was sitting on, and I started thinking about how much my life has changed. I had a wonderful fiancé, a beautiful daughter, and a baby on the way. Life couldn't get better. There was a knock on my door before I saw three heads enter.

"Hey, Luke. We got to head to the arena soon. How is Zayn doing?" Michael asked. He sat down next to me, and placed an arm around my shoulders.

"He's okay. He doesn't like the fact that he can't really do anything around the house until the pregnancy is over. He knows he needs to, but he's just to damn stubborn to," I said.

"I think that if he can do little things, it might make him feel a little bit more useful. You know like, maybe doing the laundry or cooking small meals," Ashton suggested. I took it into consideration, I mean, all he wants to do is something other than laying around having other people wait on him. I nodded my head in understanding, knowing that Michael and Ashton were probably right. I stood up, stretching a little because I was sitting for to long.

"Well, lets get this show on the road. Can't have our manager more pissed at us than he already is," I said, smirking a little. The lads laughed with me as we left the room, dreading to meet up with Matt. We couldn't technically leave our management team until our contract was up, but we have had our parents contact some management labels to see if they would like to sign us on.

"Oh, good. You're here. We need to hurry. We have a shortened sound check because you decided to take your sweet time," He said, annoyance laced in his voice. I didn't eve have to look at him to know he was giving me a look of disgust. I just walked out to where the car was waiting to take us to the arena.

"We got caught up. Sorry," Calum said, not really wanting to explain why we were late. Zayn called when we were originally going to leave and I really wanted to talk to him, so I took the call and it ended up being almost a hour long conversation.

"Whatever, just don't let it happen again," Matt said with a little more attitude than necessary. I just rolled my eyes, and sat in my seat. I pulled out my phone, checking up on Twitter, replying to a few fans, and seeing what the world had to say today. Zayn and I have been in the news a little bit with the outburst I had in the parking lot at the hospital, but I feel like it died down after the whole Caitlyn Jenner thing happened. I locked my phone when I heard the screams of fans outside the car. I feel like management always made us get out of the car in the most dangerous places, but oh well, can't fight the hand that pays your bills.

"So, what are you gonna name Junior? He's gonna need a name when he's born," Calum said. I pondered on what he said. I haven't really thought about it, but I know Zayn has.

"No we haven't, but I'm sure that whatever it is, it will be the best name ever. Zayn did a fantastic job with choosing Peighton's name. I'm sure it will be just as beautiful," I said. The boys nodded, and we soon exited the car, signing a few phones and posters here and there, along with the occasional picture. We soon made it inside, and in our dressing room. I sat down on the couch, already worn out from the day, even though we haven't done anything yet.

"You all right mate? You look terrible. Are you getting enough sleep?" Ashton asked, sitting down next to me. I looked up at him, not even bothering to lie.

"Not really, mate. Zayn has a weird sleeping schedule and so does Peighton. I just wish I could go home to them. I just want to spend time with my family. I just want to go home," I said in al honesty. As much as I loved the boys, I wanted to be with my family. Ashton nodded his head in understanding. He placed an arm around my shoulders and gave them a light squeeze.

"I'm sorry, mate. I have no idea what you're going through, but I bet it's tough. We'll be home soon. I won't let management give us anymore until you're ready. I promise." I smiled up at Ashton, and gave him a hug.

"Thanks, Ash. Love ya, mate," I said.

"Love ya, too, Lucas. You're like my younger brother. I'm not going to let anyone or anything hurt you," He said giving my shoulders a light squeeze before going to get ready for tonights show. I sat back, thinking about how much my life has changed since Zayn and I first met all those years ago in Sydney. I guess I was lucky life turned out the best for me, even with the little bumps in the road. I stood up and went to go get ready, knowing that the concert was going to happen no matter what, even if I didn't even want to be there.

*********************

PLEASE DONT HATE ME!!! I've had a lot going on involving school and personal stuff. I promise I wanted to get this up sooner, but I graduate in less than 24 hours (holy shit, when did that happen...) and my school took back the iPad I've been writing on for the past 2 years. Anyways, I just got a computer, and it's summer vacation so updates should be coming sooner. Once again, I'm sorry I haven't updated in a month, but I hope this makes up for it. I don't know...

Thank you all for reading. I love you guys.
