-Saturday-

I put on a white that turns into a peachy color dress with a flower crown and white flats. Zayn and I are on our way to the venue of our baby shower. He kept his left hand on the wheel and his right hand on my belly. "They're coming out in a month." He said and I smiled. "You little suckers need to get out, I miss my summer body." I said laughing and Zayn joined me. "I just want to hold them already." I said. "I just want them to be healthy." He said. "Zayn?" I asked. "Yes Love?" He asked. "We haven't talked about this..." I trailed off. "About what?" He asked.

"What if they don't come out healthy? Remember I was told I couldn't have kids?" I asked beginning to worry. "Babe, they said that about your great grandmother and all her kids came out fine." He said. "But we really haven't talked about any of this. What if they're born with a disease? What if they're born deformed?" I asked looking at him. "Either way, I will love them no matter what." He said. "There's something I didn't tell you..." I said and he looked at me.

"What?" He asked. "My 3 times grandmother. Meaning my great grandma's mom. My great grandmother, Jean, was an only child. Felicity, my 3 times grandmother, had the exact same thing." I said. "Get to the point." He said. "She was told she couldn't have kids. During her last trimester, she was told she could have an abortion or risk losing her life.. Zayn they told her either she'd die and the baby would survive. Or the baby would die and she'd survive. She took that risk and ended up dying. Ramon, Felicity's husband ended up committing suicide because he couldn't bare his wife's death and Jean was sent to live with her aunt." I said.

"Why are you telling me this?" He asked. "Because if they tell us that right before I give birth, I want to go on with the procedure. If it does happen, I need you to take care of my babies. Keep going on with your lives. Be strong for them. Don't do anything stupid, keep the children in mind. Find a girl who will treat our kids right. I'll be watching over and whoever you choose, if she treats our children right, I wouldn't mind you being with her as long as she makes you and the kids happy." I said and he immediately pulled over.

He looked at me with tears rolling down his face, same as mine. "Don't say that Eris. They are not going to tell you that because you and those kids are coming out of that room together. We will raise our kids together. I don't care what happened to Felicity. It didn't happen to Jean and it wont happen to you." He said kissing me. "I love you." I said. "I love you." He replied. "You keep sane." I admitted taking a deep breath to calm my nerves.

We arrived to the venue in a good mood. I smiled as I saw all our friends and family. Stephanie came up to me. "You look beautiful sis." She said embracing me. "You too babe." I said. "Aye." Said Harry walking over to us and Zayn chuckled. Everyone was just staring and it was kind of awkward. He hugged me. "The little critters will be out in a month." He said rubbing the belly and I smiled. We walked around greeting the people. So good to see family that I haven't seen in a while. "Wow. I thought you'd be the one to get pregnant old." Said Juliet, an old best friend. I laughed. "But I always knew you'd end up with Zayn." She added and I smiled. "Hi Juli." Said Zayn hugging her. "Hey there soon to be father." She said and he chuckled. I walked away as I saw a person I thought I'd never see again.

"Hey Matthew. Didn't expect to see you here." I said and he smiled as he saw me. "I know.. but I said I would still support you. God, it's really been a long time since I last saw you.." He said looking at my belly and I laughed. "Yeah well having twins is like carrying 2 watermelons." I said and he chuckled. "Kind of scared to hug you." He said and I rolled my eyes. "Really Matt? Everyone hugs me. For Gods sake, everyone plays with my stomach. You wont hurt me, trust me." I said going in to hug him. "So have you found someone?" I asked. "I'm talking to a girl I really like.. I have been for about 4 months. I'm gonna ask her to make it official tomorrow." He said scratching the back of his neck. "I expect you and her to be at my wedding. No excuses." I said. "I'm invited to that?" He asked. "Is there a reason you shouldn't be?" I questioned. "I don't know.." He said.

"You're invited and you're going." I said and he smiled. "Even pregnant, you still haven't changed personalities." He said and I smiled. "Well I have to get going. I just dropped by to leave the presents and check up on you. Really good seeing you." He said hugging me. "Good seeing you too." I said. "For the wedding, I'll definitely make it." He said and I smiled. You'd think it'd be awkward because we dated but it isn't. Or at least not for me.

"What the hell was he doing here?" Asked Zayn. "Babe calm down. He came to leave a present and say hi. He's still my friend and I care for the guy but just as friends, nothing more. You don't have to worry about anything. I mean I am having your kids." I said and he smiled as he pecked my lips. "And I invited him and his girlfriend to the wedding." I said. "As long as he doesn't ruin anything, I'm fine with the kid I guess." He said. "Now c'mon, lets go get food. These children are making me hungry." I said.
