THE BABY'S COMING

LIV.

"One thing you should know, Piper. That wasn't exactly a dream," I told her slowly. "Don't freak out."

Her brown eyes widened as she looked around the room and suddenly realized that Harry, Niall, Louis, and Liam were all standing around her.

Louis smirked. "So, you dream about me, huh?"

"Hi, Louis," she giggled.

"And your name?" he asked her. "I couldn't catch it when Olivia was screaming it." I rolled my eyes and scoffed.

"I'm Piper," she smiled.

"Well, it truly is a pleasure to meet you, m'lady," Louis said in a grand gesture as he bowed and kissed Piper's hand, causing her to blush.

"That was quite a nasty hit you took there. Are you alright?" Liam asked.

"My head kind of hurts. What happened? It's all really fuzzy," she complained.

"Well, Lou-" Harry got cut off as Louis interrupted him.

"You see, love, what happened was, I had just come back from a scuba diving expedition. It was pretty serious, and we were looking for the lost gold of Pirate Billy Pete Davey Jones the Third. I'm sure you've heard of him. Anyways, we were down deep in the water, searching for the gold. Suddenly, there were these massive hammer head sharks that came up and started attacking us. I had nothing to fight them with except my bare hands. I was punching sharks out, left and right. I barely survived. I came running back, still in my scuba gear, to come tell the boys that I was still alive. As I came into the kitchen, the floor got all wet. You turned to greet me, but you slipped on the water and fell to the ground, unconscious. I was really worried about you, and I even tried giving you CPR."

Piper looked at him skeptically. "I'm pretty sure that didn't actually happen."

"It didn't," I answered. "What really happened was that Louis came into the kitchen and hit you in the head with the door. None of what he said was true."

"No, when I said I was worried about her, that was true!" Louis argued.

I sighed. "Louis, you're so immature."

He stuck out his tongue at me. "Am not!"

"Hey, Olivia. If you ever go unconscious, I'll be the one to give you CPR," Harry grinned at me.

"Wow, that was smooth, Harry," I said teasingly.

He winked at me, making my cheeks flush.

PIPER.

After Louis knocked me out, Olivia told him he had to help me for the rest of the day and make sure I was feeling better.

Harry kept flirting with Liv. A lot. I wasn't worried, though-- she never fell for the flirty guys, always calling them tools.

Louis and I sat on the couch. I sighed and looked around. "I'm bored," I complained. "Let's do something."

His eyes brightened. "Yeah! Let's go do something!"

I grinned. "What should we do?"

Louis looked at me with a worried look. "But before we do anything, is your head okay?" He pretended to check my temperature and put his hand to my forehead.
