"Rachel!" I hear Veronica scream. I feel the water splash on me, it wasn't warm, it was freezing cold.

"What happened?" I hear Harry, I hear Liam mini scream.

Niall picks me up and wraps a freshly warm towel around me then carries me to my bed.

"Veronica get her dressed. Zayn, can you warm up your car? Harry call her doctor!" Niall orders. Niall never freaks out when someone is hurt.

I feel Veronica dressing me, I feel very childish. I just couldn't open my eyes.

"Liam! Hold the towel over her nose!" Veronica instructs.

The smell of blood makes me dizzy.

"Rachel can you hear me?" Veronica asked.

I tried to nod my head yes, but it felt like I was being tied down.

Niall carries me to the car and lays me down on the seat. I then hear the seat belt click tightly around me. Veronica lifts my head and rests it on her lap.

The car then roars to life, and we are speeding down the road. I hear Veronica begging me to stay with her.

After a couple of minutes we arrived to the hospital. Niall slams on the brakes and I feel myself getting dragged out of the car. The smell of the hospital made me feel sick and drowsy.

"Help!" Veronica screams.

I feel a brand new pair of hands, they are smaller and more gentle.

"Stay calm, I need a gurney!" A nurse yells. I'm then placed on a squishy bed, my back finally relaxs. "Can you explain to me what happened?"

"We found her this morning on the floor, she has been knocked out cold for the past three days. Then today, she was taking a shower and we heard this big 'boom' we went to go check it out and she was laying on the floor. She won't respond to us." Harry explians.

"How far along is she?"

"Just a month." Veronica replies.

"Does she have a doctor that she can check up on?" The doctor is checking my blood pressure.

"Yeah, she was going there in two days." Niall says.

"Do you know why?"

"She said that she was going to see if it was a baby girl or boy." Veronica says confused.

"That's not right. You tell the gender when the pregnant women is a least four or five months." The nurse is now checking my tempature.

I wake up to the sound of my heart monitor. Harry was sleeping on a chair, Veronica was on his lap. Zayn and Liam were nowhere in sight. Niall was in another chair.

"Hey Rachel." Niall whispers.

"Hey.." I yawn.

"How are you feeling?" Niall asked.

"My body aches." I mumble.

"Yeah. The doctor told us that's why you passed out. You put too much stress on the baby, so the baby acted out." Niall says. "I also called Louis. I looked though your messages.. He deserved to know."

"What did he say?"

"That he will be here twenty minutes. Hey Rachel, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, go ahead." I sit up, slowly.

"You told me that in two days that you were going to check the baby's gender. Well the nurse explained that you can only tell the gender when you're either four or five months." Niall whispers. "Why were you going there?"

I sigh, "I made a promise to myself that if Louis denied the baby I was going to abortion.. Then tell you guys that I had a miscarriage. But then, I thought about the little baby, and was like I can't do this to a baby. That's a life being taken away and they didn't have a say in it. So I decided that I would keep the baby and raise the baby. The Louis agreed that he would help. I'm sorry Niall. I really am."

Niall stares at me in bewilderment.

"I'm so thankful that you kept the baby! I wanted to be an uncle so bad! God is proud of you." Niall kisses my forehead.

"Thanks Niall."

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Niall says. Louis sticks his head in the room, then walks and sits on the bed.

"Hey love." Louis kisses my hand gently.

"Hey Louis." I smile.

Louis looks over to Niall.

"Hey Lou." Niall smirks.

"Niall, long time, no see. How have you been?" Louis asked.

"I've been well. And you?"

"The same."

"That's good." Louis then pays attentions to me. "I knew I should have stayed, I'm so stupid."

"No you are not stupid. I understand why you left. It was hard to take in."

"Yeah, but a real man would except the fact and be there from the beginning."

"Its fine Louis."

Louis looks around the room. Harry and Veronica are still cuddling. Zayn and Liam are still not here.

"So you brought the whole crew besides Zayn and Liam." Louis chuckles.

"Yeah. Niall is my brother, Zayn and Liam, I knew since I was two. Harry is Veronica's fiancé." I explain.

"And then there's me. The boy that gets you pregnant." Louis plays with the zipper on his hoodie.

Veronica sits up and stares at Louis with disgust.

"Who invited him here?" She growls.

"I did. Its his baby too, he deserves to know what is going on." Niall stands up.

"He does not need to know anything. He didn't care in the beginning, he doesn't care now." Veronica spits.

Louis starts to feel uncomfortable, I notice because he keeps shifting in the bed.

"He has changed a bit. Trust me Veronica, when I say that he has changed." Niall says, getting a little frustrated.

"Sure he's changed. The only reason for him being here is so when she's all better he can get back in her pants and mess up her life even more." Veronica shouts.

"Do you know how ridiculous you sound?" Niall steps forward.

They begin to argue, they were so loud they didn't notice me and Louis whispering to each other.

"I have to go. You don't need this stress. You get some rest." Louis kisses my forehead. "Tell Niall that I said thanks for sticking up for me." He then sneaks out of the room.

I grab Niall's phone that he left on his chair. Thankfully he brought his ear buds. I clicked on his playlist the first song that played was All Of Me, by John Legend.

I rub my belly, while slowly closing my eyes, 'relax for the baby', I thought.

Niall and Veronica stop arguing and stare at me.

"Where did Louis go?" I hear Niall whispered.

"He left." Harry replies.

"How did you know? You were sleeping." Veronica says.

"How can anyone sleep while people argue. If Rachel wants Louis here then let him stay. We can't just start arguing every time he comes around. Niall read the messages to me and Louis said that he would stay with her to be by her side through everything. But how can he if someone argues over the fact that he's here." Harry sticks up for Louis.

Veronica is silent, my eyes flutter softly, and I fall asleep listening to All of Me.
