I saw a tweet that said: I wonder if the Styles and Tomlinson baby was made in the am. So I tweeted back: I can assure you mine was made in the pm. But I can only speak for myself.

  I had repetitive dreams of Harry not being available when the baby comes and it's really messing with my emotions.

  I woke up gasping for air;something to grasp onto to. I held my stomach as Harry sat up in second as my feet.
"Hey hey. I'm here." He crawled into the itty bitty bed with me. The bug he had caused him to sleep on the floor at my feet. I cried in his bare chest. "I've got you." He said with a comforting touch.
"It happened again." I cried.
"MJ it's not real. None of it." He whispered. He kissed my forehead and rocked me back to sleep.

  I couldn't sleep that night. Even with Harry's hand laced in mine. Nothing felt real at that moment. I got up from his hold and stretched.
"Hey." I heard whisper.
"Yeah?" It was David.
"You ok?" He asked sincerely. I gulped, not wanting to tell him the truth. I sat to him. He propped a pillow up for me.
"I don't think I'm ready to take on this responsibility."
"Honey your in this game already. There's not backing out. You hear me?" He rubbed my shoulder.
"Remember when we got that eviction notice?"
"Yeah." I sniffled.
"Remember how dad told us that no matter what he would always be there to protect us?" I wanted to speak but all I could say were cries. "Mara look around. You have Harry, you you have me. Louis, liam, Niall, the crew and a billion other fans. But most importantly you have dad. And mom in your heart" He put my hand on my heart. "The strength you have inside is so much stronger than you see it. You're a fighter Mara. Just like mum." I giggled.
"Sounds like something from tumblr."

We woke up in Manchester. The sunrise bled through the blinds. David yawned loudly.
"Shut up." I muttered trying to sleep in a little more.
"Up up up, we got a show in 10 hours!" The driver says. "Why don't you take a walk and see if you find any donut shops." Everyone was a awake it was a matter of getting out of bed.
"Come on Mara." Steph said. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. Harry was dead asleep.
"Let him sleep. Be quiet." I told Louis. He nodded. Steph and I got ready and went for a walk.
"Be safe. Both of you." Liam told us.
"We will." We walked off the bus.
"Feels so good." I say as I take a deep breath.
"I wanted to talk to you."
"About what?"
"Their career." I knew this was a serious topic. It's really touchy around the guys. "With Zayn being gone I don't think they're going to really give it their all." I looked at my feet.
"I know they have it in them. It's more if they want to give it their all."
"Do they want to do this for years on end?"
"I think it's something that will only last for so long."
"This is our primary income. I don't know what we're going to do."
"Don't worry about it Steph. Everything will fall into place."
"I think I just want a privet wedding."
"Then you do that. No one gets to tell you otherwise. This is your day."
"Thank you." We hugged. Her belly making it feel awkward.
"Don't even get me started on him." She said looking down. I chuckled.
"Have any names?"
"I was thinking Michael Alexander."
"Why?"
"Well I was a surprise. If I had been a boy that would have been my name."
"It's adorable Steph." She smiled.
"What about you?"
"Well of its a girl it will be named after my mom, LeAnna."
"Awe. And boy?"
"I don't know. But I want it to have character. I want it to be bold no matter who they are."
"You think we'll stay best friends?"
"I don't doubt it for a second. You are the one girl who's come into Louis life who's been everything he needed and more."
"Thank you Mara."
"Absolutely."
"I never was told how you came into the picture."
"That's a long long story."
"Well it started in a cafe."
"Kinda. It started on the street." We laughed and bonded all the way to the doughnut shop. I've never bonded like this with someone over a doughnut. Steph was one of a kind.

After the Manchester performance we sat backstage eating pizza and making each other laugh. David talked about the high lights of our lives.
"You want to talk about my hair?" David asked.
"No! David!" I said.
"She cut my fricken hair off!" He ranted.
"That's a secret."
"Not anymore!" The hairdresser laughed.
"She comes outside with scissors. How old were we?"
"You were 3 or 4 and I was a year older." I say. Everyone was very into this awful story.
"She decided she wants to be a hairdresser and I would be her practice doll. She chopped my damn hair off."
"He was so mad." I said with a full mouth. We couldn't stop laughing.
"I definitely did that to my siblings. You are not alone Mara." The hairdresser said as she blow dried harry hair.

"Hold still

"Hold still." She laughed.
"Room keys." A manager walked in.
"Hotel tonight?" Louis asked.
"Yeah." She said with happiness.
"Amore mio." Harry held out his hand. I took it.
"Goodnight." Harry and I yelled.
"Goodnight." They yelled back.

  After getting our things from the bus we went to our room.
"What number?" I ask.
"1144." He says. We follow the hallway.
"Right here." I say. I pushed he key in.
"Ah!" Harry yelled at the top of his lungs.
"That was really loud." I scrunched my face.
"I can do it again."
"Harry!" I whispered. I got the door open and he walked in.
"I love you." He said with passion. Letting the words fill the air. I shut the door.
"I love you too."
