Melissa sat on her bed while Niall read through the book of Baby Names. “What about Sophia?" Niall asked while Melissa ate her Watermelon. “No, I want it to be unique. Do we have any chocolate? Melted? Because I really want that right now." She said. Aliyah walked into the room with a small bag. The smile on her face was huge. She could barely contain her excitement. “I thought we said no gifts." Niall said taking the bag from her. Melissa tried to sit up but it was quite difficult with a giant bump. “Al litte help here." Aliyah ran over and pulled her up. “You are getting so big! And I need to get a gift for my soon to be god daughter. I can’t believe you chose me as the god mother. Since you aren’t having a baby shower I think its only right to get a gift. You guys need some help." Aliyah said. She was right. Melissa and Niall could barely live with just them. They moved in together around the 6 month point and it has been difficult since. Melissa only worked at a bookstore and Niall tried his best by working extra shifts at the auto shop. They still just barely made it. Niall refused to give his kid up though. Ever since he found out he just always thought about Melissa and his soon to be baby girl. He only wanted the best for them. “It was really nice of you, but you didn’t have to." Melissa said grabbing the bag from Niall. She opened it up and inside was a receipt. “Whats this?" Melissa asked confused. Aliyah smiled at her. “I didn’t want to bring up everything I got so I decided to show you everything on the receipt. Everything but the price which I cut off." On it were a boatload of clothes, a carseat, and a stroller. Melissa’s jaw dropped. Niall took it from her and read it off. He then got up and hugged Aliyah. Melissa slowly got off the bed and joined the hug. “I’m gonna have some guys carry everything in later." Aliyah said. “You are amazing Aliyah." Melissa said. She then walked over tho the baby book and picked it up. “We have everything we need for this little girl but a name." Melissa said. Niall walked up behind her and put his hands over her stomach. Aliyah took the book from Melissa and flipped to the section A. “You could just name her Aliyah." She said cockily. Melissa laughed a bit but had to stop before she peed herself. She did that more often now. “Can we go out today?" Melissa asked Niall. “I’ve been cooped up in this house for a while now. I know you just want to keep me safe but I need to leave soon. Maybe we will think of some names while were out." Melissa said. Niall looked concerned but he really had kept her here. He was so nervous. The last thing he wanted was to lose this. At first he was scared to have a kid but once he actually thought about it, it was all he ever wanted. “Fine, we’ll go to the flea market and just go out but you need to be careful okay.?" Niall said. Melissa nodded and slowly, but surely, started to get ready. Aliyah just continued to flip through the names. “If you find a good name, call me. And maybe later all of us can get together later for lunch. We haven’t done that in a while." Melissa said before she finished putting on her shoes. They all started to leave the flat. “Can I take the book with me?" Aliyah asked before getting in the car. Melissa nodded and slid into the car.Melissa and Niall decided to go see a movie. Niall thought it would be the safest. When his mom told him that he was supposed to be have a twin but she lost the other one, he promised himself that he would keep his kid safe. No matter what. He was constantly around Melissa, keeping her safe. She liked it though, but she wouldn’t admit it to him. She always thought that she should be able to protect herself but she really did like him constantly there. They walked out of the movie hand in hand, Niall constantly making sure that she wouldn’t fall. “Niall, I promise, I’m okay." Melissa said. Niall did this half smile, but the worry didn’t leave his face. “Can you call everyone and make sure they are going to the lunch. I haven’t seen everyone in forever. I haven’t seen Louis and Kristi in months. They have been traveling throughout Europe and they said they were coming back today. I want to see them so badly. And Amber and Harry have been so busy with school and being with each other that I dont get to see them. I really want this lunch to happen." Melissa said. The only people she saw in the past few months were Niall, Aliyah, and Zayn. Aliyah had to help her pee, Niall was the father, and Zayn was always with Aliyah and Nialls bestfriend AND really wanted to help. “I’ll call them. Can we just sit here for awhile though." Niall said as they passed a bench underneath a tree. Melissa nodded and sat with him. She sat down and he knelt in front of her to feel her stomach. “I can feel her kicking." Niall said. The look in his eyes was priceless. It was pure love. They sparkled more each time she kicked. “Only a month till I get to see her." He said. “I love you so much." Melissa said putting her hands through Nialls hair. He looked up at her and kissed her cheek and then whispered in her ear, “I love you with everything I have." Then Melissa’s phone rang and she picked it up. It was Aliyah. “Hello?" Melissa said. " I know what to name her. You should name her Ava." Aliyah said with a boatload of happiness in her voice. Melissa’s smile grew and she looked at Niall. He searched her eyes to see if he could figure out why she was so happy. Melissa hung up the phone and Niall was still searching. “What about Ava?" Melissa said. Niall looked at her belly. “Ava is perfect." He then kissed Melissa. They were a family. He wouldn’t give them up for anything.
They headed to the little restaurant that everyone loved. The one with all the memories. Melissa and Niall were the last ones there. Kristi ran over to her right when she walked in. “Look at you!" Kristi said while hugging her. “You look so…pregnant." She said. “Thanks Kristi." Melissa said sarcastically. Louis kissed her cheek and rubbed her belly. “Congrats." He said. Next was Amber and Harry. “I can’t believe you are so far already. I’m sorry I wasn’t there more." She said. Melissa just made a its-okay-who-cares kinda face. Harry just rubbed her back and smiled. Melissa sat at the table and Niall stood up. “I have a surprise guest." He said Niall then walked outside and brought in someone who everyone hadn’t seen in a very long time. “Liam!" Melissa screamed and tried to get up fast. She waddled over to him and hugged him tight. “I can’t believe you are pregnant." Liam said “At least it was with a good guy." He said. Melissa laughed a bit. She then kissed his cheek and walked away so everyone else could attack him. “Why are you back?" Aliyah asked. “It didn’t work out with me and Danielle. We wanted different things. I can’t believe I left you guys for a girl. I’m moving back now." He said. Everyone was so happy. Everything was so perfect. “Melissa, what are you going to name your kid?" Kristi asked. “Her name will be Ava." Niall said. “Cute." Harry said. After all the small talk was over and food was done everyone left. “We should probably go home now Melissa." Niall said. Melissa gave him the puppy dog face. “Where else do you want to go?" He said. “Can we go to the flea market?" She said. “That place is really crowded, I could lose you, you could get hurt." He said worried. “Niall, I’m a big girl. I’ll be okay." She said. She begged him and begged him till he agreed. “Fine we’ll go." He said even though it was the last thing he wanted to do.
Melissa was walking through the crowded market so fast Niall could barely keep up. “Sweety wait for me!" He kept repeating. She didn’t listen. It sorta made sense since she hadn’t been able to walk around for a couple of months. Nialls phone rang and he yelled to Melissa to stop and wait. She nodded at him. Niall put his finger to his ear and the phone to the other. “Hello?" Niall said. “Hey its Aliyah. Melissa left her phone at the restaurant. Should I drop it off at the house or what?" Aliyah said on the other end. “You can drop it off at the house, you have an extra key right?" He said back. Aliyah said yes and he hung up. “Melissa!" Niall said turning around . She wasn’t anywhere in sight. “Melissa?" He said again. He then heard someone yell for help and Niall ran. “Someone help! Call 911!" The stranger said. Niall ran over and at the bottom of stairs he saw Melissa on the floor being held up. Her head was hit and she was bleeding. “Melissa!" He screamed and ran down to her. There were tears in his eyes as he held her in his lap. Someone dialed 911 and the ambulance showed up. They carried her away and Niall was right behind them. Niall called everyone and told them to go to the hospital. He was in the waiting room pacing while waiting for the group. They showed up and Niall just ran to them and cried. “I wasn’t watching her. I should have been watching her. Its my fault. What if Ava’s gone? I killed my baby." He muffled into Zayns coat. Everyone comforted him. “We would like to talk to all of you now." A doctor said.
Melissa’s POV
I woke up with no giant stomach. Aliyah was next to me and everyone but Niall behind her. I had a bandage on my forehead. “Where’s Ava? What happened to Ava?" I repeated. No one answered. “Where is she?" I yelled this time. There were tears in my eyes. “We don’t know." Aliyah said. I couldn’t even breathe. “I need my baby." I said. Niall then walked in and ran over to me. I looked at him for some sort of sign of her being okay. “She’s beautiful." He said with tears in his eyes and a huge smile. I then cried, more then I’ve cried ever in my life. “Can I see her?" I asked. “The doctors said they will bring her in soon but they have to keep her for three days and you too." He said. I don’t care, as long as she is okay. I mean, everything is okay now.The doctors then carried in this little bundle of joy. I took her into my arms and cried some more, this time Niall cried too. “Hi Ava." I said. Aliyah sat on the edge of the bed and picked her up. “Hi baby girl." Aliyah said kissing her forehead. “She is perfect." Aliyah said handing her back. Then everyone came in and said hi to me and Nialls new baby girl, Ava.
