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

Knock, Knock, Knock

The sound reverberated off the dark wood door of apartment 4c. 

I stood shaking nervously, whether it be from the cold drizzle, or the nerves that had taken over my system from the minute the Taxi pulled up in front of his building. The girls and I decided that I should tell Niall as soon as possible, so that if he wanted nothing to do with me, I could move on and establish a life with the baby, withing the next eight months.

I heard a scramble behind the door, and soon enough a disgruntled looking Niall appeared in front of me. My heart froze in my chest, and I stood wide eyed, not saying a word, just staring.

"Can I help you?" he asked, his voice harsh with annoyance. 

Still no words came out of my mouth. What could I possibly say? 'Hi, I'm now carrying your baby, Should I just turn around now?'

He started to say something else, when another head appeared behind him. 

"Hey mate," Louis Tomlinson said. "If a beautiful girl just so happens to show up on your doorstep, I'd advise you let her in." 

With this I was pulled into the house and dragged into the living room. Louis plopped himself down on the couch, and patted the spot next to him, asking me to sit. I did as he suggested and sat down. I slowly lifted my eyes from the cream carpet, and saw five sets of eyes all staring at me. As I looked around, all of one direction was sitting on the various chair and couches, and at the moment, I was squished in between Louis and Liam. 

I realized any girl in my position would have lost their mind a few minutes back, a few days back, but I wasn't boy crazy for one direction. They were super fit, and there music was good, but no, definitely not obsessed. 

I realized I had not said anything for about five minutes, and they were all getting restless. 

"You can speak," Niall said. "I know you can. Is there a reason your here?"

Apparently they thought I was ignoring them, so I mustered up all my courage, and spoke.

" Um, yeah," I said with barely a whisper. Then it hit me, what I was about to do, and the tears came. Looks like the pregnancy hormones were hitting. I was sitting on Niall Horan's couch, bawling, looking absolutely nuts and none of the guys knew what to do about it. 

Louis leaned over and put his arm around me. 

"It's alright love. Calm down, you can tell us. Were good listeners. Whatever it is, I'm sure you have a good reason to come here."

I pulled myself together and turned to Niall. 

"Do you even remember my name?" I asked skeptically.

He looked scared, then thought for a minute. "Yeah," he said, then wincing he added. " It's Clara, right?"  

" Yes. Do you remember that night?" I asked sheepishly.

"Yeah, I do." The other boys gave the two of us looks.

"Well, Um, I, Uhh" I tried as hard as I could to get the words out.

"What do you have to say love?" Zayn asked politely. 

"I'm pregnant" I blurted out. Then slapped my hand over my mouth, and proceeded to cry some more. 

 It took a moment to sink in, but when it did Niall immediately fell into the chair he was standing in front of with a whoosh. His face had gone from minor annoyance and confusion at the crying one- night- stand in his living room, to completely void of all emotion. The blank look scared to me slightly, because there wasn't anything I could read from his face.

The boys, shocked, looked  from me to him, and back again.

Harry got his act together first. "It's Niall's?" he asked quietly."

I just nodded. The room was silent, except for my quiet sobs. Harry leaned over and wrapped his arms around me, and one by one I felt each of the boys join in, until there were four arms around me. My sobs quieted and Zayn left the pile to go comfort Niall. Liam left the room, and soon enough his voice could be heard quietly whispering on the phone in the hallway.

Louis and Harry were giving me little words of encouragement every once in a while, for no other reason, than to keep me from crying any more. 

"It will be alright, I promise." said Harry. 

"Were gonna take care of you" said Louis. "The boys and I are great with kids by the way." 

Harry nodded with this statement, and then added excitedly,"There's gonna be a new baby in the family!!!"

Louis started to squeal, and curiously I asked "Are there any others?"

"Baby lux," the two of them shouted together.

"Do you wanna see a picture?" Harry asked pulling out his wallet. I nodded and he produced a picture of a smiling little blue- eyed girl, with a tuft of blonde hair stuck up on her head.

"Shes adorable," I said. "She's not yours is she?"

"NO!" Louis yelled. "Hazzabear's a virgin!" With this he started to crack up. The boys silly antics were starting to cheer me up a bit and I was feeling back to myself, and not the blubbering pregnant idiot I was a second ago. 

Liam walked back into the room with a serious look on his face. My worry must have shown on my features, because when he saw my look he immediately put on a kind look. 

"Glad to see your smiling, Love" he said as he sat down on a big leather recliner. Zayn and Niall walked back into the room, the blank look still plastered on Niall's face. 

"So guys, Clara," he began. "I was just on the phone with management." The boys all let out a moan. Well, except for Niall, I was starting to think he was in a coma. 

"It's alright," Liam said. "They have a meeting set up for tomorrow morning at seven thirty, and your going to come with us, Clara. Don't worry about a thing. Sometimes they can seem cruel, but mostly what they do is for our protection."

"You mean the money we bring in." Louis coughed.

"Well, anyway, It's not like they'll try to make you get an abortion or anything." Liam added. 

"Alright" I said nervously.  Suddenly a huge wave of nausea crashed over me again. 

"Bathroom!" I yelled. Then covered my mouth with my hand. Zayn, apparently closest to the bathroom jumped up and held the door open for me as I bolted in. Hands were soon holding my hair back and rubbing my neck. 

When I finally was able to stand up again, I looked up just in time to see the back of Niall's head retreating from the doorway, and up the stairs to his room. 

Liam brought me my bag from the hallway, and Zayn brought me my jacket. 

Harry walked up behind me. "Why don't you come with me," He said. "I can drive you home, and then in the morning we can pick you up on our way to the office."

"That is really nice of you." I replied. "Thank you so much, all of you, for being so great, and helpful, and just overall charming lads about this rough situation." 

Harry and I walked out the door and I climbed into the passenger seat of his big black ranger rover, wondering what tomorrow would bring, and worrying about what would happen.
