~~~( Niall's P.O.V )~~~

I guess you can say things are pretty awkward right now. I mean how could they not be? We're at dinner and it is dead silent at the table. No really like legit the only conversation being spoken is through glances at each other from around the table. Nobody feels comfortable talking and I'll admit that I'm one of those people. What Harry did is on every ones mind, but we all promised Louis that we will not bring it up in front of Eleanor. It only came to that 'forbidden' conclusion after everyones multiple attempts to get El to speak out, but all she'd do is give non-descriptive answers and fiddle her fingers.

I have to admit that I have had a crush on Eleanor for a while, no doubt about it, but I would've never taken advantage of her when everyone else was gone. I can't help but watch as her eyes keep wondering down to her stomach, a forced smile on her face as if she's okay with what happened.

Harry is a blessed man to still be breathing after what he did, I don't understand how Louis is closer to Harry after this. I mean if she was my fiance I would kill Harry for what he did! Not literally but you know what I mean.

"Soo..." Liam states, the first word of conversation to ever be spoken throughout tonight. Did I mention we've already been served our entrees?

"How's everyone doing?" Zayn says, peering at each person around the table.

"Good." Eleanor says, taking a bite of her salad.

"Have you thought of a name yet?" Harry asks, Louis raising his eyebrows at Harry as Eleanor swallows.

"Yes." El says, her face turning crimson red.

"Well don't leave us at a cliff hanger!" I smile, trying to at least bring a little joy into the conversation.

"If it's a girl her name is going to be Harmony and if it's a boy his name is going to be Tommy." Louis says, smiling as he takes Eleanor's hand into his trying to reassure her every things going to be okay.

~~~( Louis' P.O.V )~~~

I stir my meatballs around in the pasta, trying to avoid eye contact with Harry as conversation is finally being spoken throughout the table. I guiltily admit to becoming closer to Harry even after what he did, but he's my mate and it was a mistake..right?

"So where's Taylor?" Niall asks, all eyes landing on him. Oh goodness,that boy does not catch on does he?

"We broke up.." Harry mutters, taking a sip of his water.

"Oh.." Niall murmurs, going back to chewing on his steak.

I look back down at my plate, my attention caught by the meatballs. Usually balls of meat are big and juicy and healthy looking, these meatballs are tiny and burnt, completely lifeless. Lifeless meatballs..great.

"We're planning into turning Lou's bedroom into the nursery, considering he's moved into my room now." El says out loud, flashing a smile at me. I was not aware of giving up my man cave but okay.. I guess that's what happens when you become a parent.

"Are you guys ready to be parents?" Liam asks not so assuringly.

"If we could parent Tyler we can parent the new one." I smile, taking hold of Eleanor's hand under the table. She always tenses when I bring up Tyler's name.

"Well we all saw how things with Tyler ended.." Zayn muttered to himself, earning a hard knock in the arm by Harry.

~~~( Eleanor's P.O.V )~~~

I click the home screen of my phone to see that it's 11:30pm. Wow, time flies fast. I did not realize I've been testing different paint samples for an hour and a half till now..

"Whatcha doing?" A familiar voice asks, I turn around and see Louis standing in the doorway, relaxing his body against the frame. Yeah I guess I'd ask that question too if I saw my fiance sitting on the floor of an empty bedroom by herself.

"Oh nothing just looking at different paint samples." I smile, flashing the paint cards in Lou's direction.

"Ah nice.." He smiles, raising his eyebrows as he looks around his abandoned bedroom. "Have you told Hannah that you decided that you're keeping the baby?"

"Not yet." I sigh, placing the cards down as I push my body up from the floor.

"Well you should probably do that soon." Lou says as I walk towards him.

"I was planning on it." I smile, wrapping my arms around his neck as he picks me up from the floor.

"Have you already began to start gaining baby weight?" He jokes, earning a playful slap in the arm from me. He chuckles as he flicks off his bedroom light and leads us to our bedroom.

"Well you should probably get some sleep princess." He whispers into my ear as he tugs back the sheet cover and drops me onto the mattress.

"Good night." I smile, cuddling into his chest as he climbs in next to me. The warmth of his body relaxing my nerves.

"Good night." He says, kissing my forehead.

~~~( Louis' P.O.V )~~~

"Louis wake up!" A female voice screams, my shoulder being rapidly shaken. My instincts reacting immediately as my leg glides across something wet.

I flash open my eyes, ignoring the blinding light. It takes everything in me to keep my calm as I focus on the sight in front of me. The mattress covered in blood as so is Eleanor's pajamas.

"W-what happened?!" I stutter, jumping out of the mattress and pulling Eleanor into my arms.

"I don't know I woke up in blood!" She cries out, her body trembling in my arms. I look down at my body as I am too covered in blood. How did I not feel that gooeyness while asleep?

"Okay let's get you to the hospital every things going to be okay." I reassure her, running to the closet to get El a sweatshirt and a pair of flip flops.
