As I said, I am back:) Hope you enjoy this chapter!

~Mallory's POV~

I awoke to the sound of the dogs scuffling along the wood floors of our bedroom. With a groan, I threw the covers off and sat up. They cocked their heads and stared at me, perplexed looks upon their faces. I laughed whilst swinging my legs over the side of the bed and standing up. I wobbled a bit as I tried to find my balance. Once I died, I picked up my phone and checked the time. Friday, April 5 9:10 A.M.


I sighed, running over all the things in my head that needed to be done before next Saturday. Not much, as it had been nearly all taken care of. I'd met with a caterer on Wednesday and had that taken care of, I'd gotten in touch with the decorating lady that Julia referred me to and that was sorted out...basically it was all done. The invitations were sent out Tuesday and I had already been getting RSVIPs. So far, fifty people have confirmed. For the caterer, I said we'd be feeding about two hundred and seventy five people, which was pretty accurate. Not a lot of people wanted to turn this baby shower down. I mean, if you got the invitation to the baby shower for Cher Lloyd's baby, would you? 

As I shuffled down the stairs, the dogs on my heels, I made a mental to-do list for the day. Today, I needed to go to the market, go find an outfit for the shower, and be back in time for the One Direction interview on Ellen. That premiered at eight o'clock in our timezone, so I had plenty of freetime. 

I twisted the knob of the door leading out the patio and the dogs paraded out behind me. After they finished their business, I led them back inside. They hurried inside the doorway before I closed and locked the door behind them. With a yawn, I slowly waltzed into the kitchen, hitting play on the iHome that was on the counter. 

"Hey girl I'm waitin' on ya, I'm waitin' on ya. C'mon and let me sneak you out," I grinned at the song playing. Reaching up, I grabbed the box of tea that was in the cabinet, scrunching up my nose when I saw it was Yorkshire. After making a mental note to get some of what I like, I put a kettle on the stove. 

As I waited for it to boil, I pulled up Twitter and signed it. I scrolled through the endless tweets, replying to some, until I came upon one that caught my eye. It was a tweet from Perrie.

Perrie Edwards    @PerrieEdwards

Dear Directioners, 

I know how you've been waiting oh-so-eagerly to know the gender and father of Cher's baby. Well, wait no longe, because it's a boy and his name shall be Harry Edward Styles II. You're welcome x

My eyes widened and my heart skipped a beat. Even though she only posted it a half an hour ago, it still needs to be taken care of immediately. I scrambled to dial Simon's number, and put it on speaker when I did.

"This is Simon," His professional voice was on.

"Simon! Have you checked Perrie's twitter lately?" I squeaked out. I was honestly in shock of what she revealed. 

"No, why? Is there something wrong?"

"You need to get on her account immediately and delete the post she made. She revealed the gender of the baby and that Harry is the father."

"Oh my god, thank you for telling me Mallory. I'll go deal with this situation."

"Okay, good luck. Bye," I sighed whilst I tapped the end button. This is low, even for what Perrie's turned into. She should really know better than to do this. 

To get my mind of things, I went back to my tea making. After pouring the steaming liquid into a mug, I dipped the teabag in and dabbed it around in the water until it was ready to drink. As I leaned back onto the counter, I took a sip of the steaming liquid. It burned my throat, but I honestly didn't care.
