*Next Morning*
*Ashley's POV*

"What is the time for the appointment?" I asked Eleanor, biting my nails in tension. We sat in Dr. Corell Gailey's clinic to get my blood test done.

"Shh! Shut up Ashley O'Neil Brooks. You are going to be such a hyper mother! I am already feeling sorry for your baby!" She scolded me.

"Mrs. Ashley Malik?" The receptionist spoke up and I turned to Eleanor and Sophia, they gave me their goofy grins, "We couldn't write to-be-mother plus Mrs. Ashley Zayn Malik. So..." Eleanor giggled. I faced the floor as my cheeks turned a deep shade of crimson.

"Mrs. Malik?" The receptionist spoke again after failing to get an answer from me. "Here I am." I raised my hand.

At first she eyed me with a hint of confusion on her face, "Uhm yeah ma'am your appointment is ready." She said slowly as if thinking something.

As I got up and went to the door she stopped me, "Ma'am aren't you Zayn Malik's fiancé?" She asked me, I nodded at her.

She looked more confused, "Then why is the father's n-" Sophia interrupted her, "Ashley you didn't go?" She asked me. "Yeah, just going." I nodded and went in the cabin.

A nurse put in an injection in my hand and took out some blood in a small bottle. It stinged bad. I absolutely hate injections.

"You will be sent the results in an hour. Till then meet doctor Gailey if you want." She smiled at me. (A/N: It takes a day but nevermind)

I went to doctor Gailey, "Hello Mrs. Malik. How are you?" She smiled at me. "Hello Doctor. I'm great. Just a bit tensed." I confessed honestly.

"Why so?" She asked with concern.

"I did my test yesterday and it says... I am preganent-" she cut me off, "And you don't want this child?" She asked.

I shook my head, "No no. It's not that, I absolutely want it-" she interrupted me, yet again, "And your boyfriend or fiancé or husband doesn't want this child?"

I sighed and shook my head, "Not really. But I have no idea if my husband is ready for it. A child is equal to a responsibility right?" I sighed.

I did not say fiancé because I did not want her to break the news out, just in case she recognized me.

"Oh yes, a child is equal to a responsibility, a beautiful one though. You need to be confident Mrs. Malik. Talk to your husband, his family and your family. If these two set of people, your husband and you are ready then please bring this child in the world." She smiled at me.

"I know he will be ready but his family...I'm not sure. His dad is very conservative." I bit my lip thinking about Mr. Malik's reaction.

"It's okay, I am sure knowing about his grand children your father in law will be happy. Anyways what does Mr. Malik do?" She asked referring to Zayn.

This clearly meant that either she didn't know who Zayn was, which also means she didn't know me or she didn't recognize me.

"He's a singer in a b-" I stopped myself from saying boyband, "Bar. In a bar." I replied.

"And you?" She raised her eyebrows. "I-" Before I could reply there was a knock on the door, and I was quite thankful for it.

"Yes?" She asked to the person on the other side. "May I come in?" The voice spoke, "Yes."

"Doctor Mrs. Malik's reports are here." The female middle aged nurse said, causing goosebumps to raise in my arms and heart burst out.

She took the report and read it, she looked up, "Mrs. Malik. Congratulations, you're preganent." She smiled at me.

I inhaled a sharp breath, I knew this was coming yet it scared me a lot. I had a feeling of anxiety. Instead of being happy I was rather nervous. I mean I obviously was very happy but...

What would be Zayn's reaction? His dad's reaction? Will we be able to handle the responsibility? Will we be able to bring this child up? Is Zayn ready for marriage and a child already? Such questions floated in my brain.

"Mrs. Malik?" Doctor Gailey spoke up with confusion and concern in her voice shaking me out of my thoughts. "Uh uhm yeah. T-thank you doctor." I took the reports from her hand and left the cabin.

I quitely went out only to find Eleanor who was reading a magazine carefully. "El?" I kept my hand on her shoulder.

"Aaa!" She turned to me with a small yell and a horrified expression written all over her face, she was as white as a bone.

"Oh uhm! A-Ashley. H-hi. Wassup." She stammered in shock. "Eleanor are you okay?" I sat down next to her.

"Y-yeah. Great. I-I'm fine." She hid the magazine behind her, gulping hard. "Where is Sophia?" I asked.

"S-she went home. Was feeling s-sick." She looked down as my eyes met hers. "What are you hiding from me Eleanor Calder?" I crossed my arms over my chest.

"I-I? Nothing." She gulped and put her purse on the magazine. There was surely some news about the boys in that, Eleanor is never so scared. She is the living stream of confidence and chirpiness.

Somewhere deep down I had this weird feeling that somehow made me think that either there was a bad news about Zayn in the magazine or something bad was coming across.

"Show me that magazine." I put out my hand to, "Ah ditch it. Nothing special. Let's go home." She got up and pulled me up.

"Are you preganent?" She tried to change the topic. "Y-yeah I am preganent now don't try to change the topic and give me that magazine." I demanded.

Seeing her stubbornly keeping it under her purse, I snatched it from her and saw the heading of the article she was reading.

I almost stumbled, how can this happen? This isn't possible? How? What the hell was this?

"I am sorry Ashley. That's why I wasn't showing it to you." Eleanor looked down in shame.

I was at a loss of words, how could this happen? This is...hell!

"This can't be happening, this can't be happening." I buried my face in my hands. "It's okay Ashley. It happens with everyone." She rubbed my back soothingly.

I looked up only to find her kneeled down in front of me, "It's okay? No, it's not okay. It does not happen with everyone. I am preganent Eleanor. Preganent. I am carrying his child, the symbol of our love. I was thinking of starting a family with him and now...it's all over." She engulfed me in a hug as tears spilled out of my eyes.
