#12 Gender Predictions

LIAM:

"They have really good sandwiches here," Perrie suggested. You looked around the cafe to see if anything looked good to eat. Your eyes stopped on the cake display. "Craving sweet things?" Eleanor asked, following your gaze. "Going straight for dessert," Perrie laughed. "The chocolate cake looks so good, but Li is always telling me to eat healthy for the baby," you said quietly, "but it's all I can think about now." As the waitress arrived, Perrie and Eleanor looked at each other. You opened your mouth to order a sandwich, but Perrie cut you off, "3 slices of chocolate cake, please," "With cream," Eleanor added. "Thank you," you giggled at their cheekiness. "You know they say when you crave sweet food, you're having a girl" Eleanor squealed happily. "That's true. I kept wanting cookies when I was pregnant and I had a little girl," Perrie added. You smiled, gently rubbing your little baby bump and thinking about Liam with a little girl. "She would be so cute. A total Princess," Eleanor giggled.

LOUIS:

"Where is Y/N?" Louis' mum asked, looking at her son through the Skype call. "What about me?" Louis wined, hurt that his mum wanted to you more than her own son. "Oh there she is," Louis' mum said when you appeared. "Hi Johanna," you waved sitting beside Louis. "Look at your cute little baby bump," Johanna squealed, "It's adorable." You blushed and smoothed down your top over your swollen stomach. "I know, it's making it all seem real; like their is actually a baby growing in there," you told her. Louis groaned feeling forgotten and unloved. "You look beautiful daring, pregnancy is treating you well," she smiled. "Thank you. I have found my hair is become so full and smooth lately," you said, running your fingers through your hair. She smiled again, remembering her own pregnancies, "You know, my hair was like that when I was pregnant with Lou. They say it means your having a boy." "A boy?" Louis snapped up. You and Johanna laughed knowing how much he wanted a son.

NIALL:

"What movie shall we watch tonight?" Niall asked, as you put the popcorn on the table. "Finding Nemo?" you asked, making him smile. You both got comfortable on the couch and Niall draped a blanket over the two of you. During the movie, you started getting cold, so you pulled the blanket up to your chin, accidentally pulling it off Niall. "You cold, baby?" he asked, looking at you. "Just a bit," you shivered. Niall moved slightly away from you, pulling his grey hoodie over his head and handing it to you. "I hate to see you cold. Put this on." You giggled and slid it on, remembering when you were dating and would always wear his hoodies. "You know, I was on google the other day and it said pregnant women who are colder than usual means that they are having a boy," he grinned. "But we’re having twins? What does google say about that?" you joked, snuggling into the warmth of his hoodie. He laughed, pulling you closer to him, "Well you do have a blanket and my hoodie: you’re double cold, so two boys. "Two more Horan boys. I can hardly keep up with one."

HARRY:

"How do you know it's a girl?" Gemma asked. "I just have a feeling," he replied confidently. "Well it could be a boy. I mean Y/N was craving pickles," Gemma said. You giggled at the siblings fighting. "I have an idea," Anne said, "it's an old wife's tale to predict the gender." You nodded excitedly. "Alright daring, lay down on the couch and I'll be right back," she explained. "I tried it when I was pregnant. Although I don't know how right it is, because during both my pregnancies it predicted boys," she laughed, tying string around her wedding ring. You laid down, your little baby bump sticking out slightly. "So, if the ring swings back and forth across your belly, means your having a boy, but if it goes in circles, means a girl," she explained, kneeling beside the couch and hovering her ring above you. All eyes were on the ring waiting for the answer. Suddenly the ring begun moving in a circle. "A girl," Anne squealed, dropping the ring and kissing your cheek. "I told you," Harry said, poking Gemma's arm.

ZAYN:

"I thought this was only supposed to happen in the first few months," you groaned as your stomach flipped again. Zayn sat beside you on the bathroom floor, rubbing your back softly. "I read that some women experience morning sickness during their whole pregnancy," he said quietly. "That doesn't make me feel better," you said, eyes filling with tears. "Deep breaths babygirl," he whispered, kissing lightly below your ear. Before you could say anything, you leaned over the toilet, emptying what was left in your stomach. "I can't-I can't do this anymore," you pleated looking at Zayn as the tears ran down your cheeks. He gently wiped your eyes, his hands traveling down your arms to your hips. He rubbed his thumbs lightly over your swollen belly. "I also read that morning sickness is a sign that the baby is healthy and growing probably," he smiled, "and could mean you're having a girl." Seeing how prepared and happy he was for the baby, you couldn't help but smile despite how you were feeling.
