Meghan's P.O.V.

My two weeks with Liam went super fast. He's now off somewhere with the boys doing more promotion and concerts. I'll be seeing him later today though. We're going for the first scan of our baby this afternoon. I'm kind of nervous but excited all at the same time. Before that though, I'm going to see Josh. We're supposed to be going skating but I think I'll sit out for now. Knowing my luck I'll fall of the board and kill the baby, if not myself. I lifted my phone and bag and went out to my car. I drove around to the skate park to find Josh waiting for me. I stepped out of the car to be greeted by him. "Those aren't your skating shoes...?" He said.

"Nice to see you too Josh." I smiled and hugged him.

"Seriously though, they aren't your skating shoes..."

"I know..."

"So you aren't skating?"

"Nope..." I said.

"Why are we here then? We could go for lunch or something?" I nodded. I got back into my car and Josh jumped in beside me. I drove off to the nearest cafe. We sat down at a table in the corner. I had a small hot chocolate as I wasn't hungry. "So what's new?" I looked out the window and watched people walk past. A woman walked passed, struggling to push a pram, but the child wasn't in it. The little boy was holding her hand walking really slowly and seemed to be crying. I can see why she's having bother pushing it now. I hope I don't have to deal with that.

"Um... you know, the usual." I moved my left hand out into view but then realised I'd taken the ring off since I was out in public. I quickly brought it back in and Josh looked at me with a weird expression etched on his face.

"Come on, tell me."

"Liam and I are engaged." I whispered it in case there were any eavesdroppers around.

"Really?! Oh my god!"

"SHHHHH! No one knows yet. Well, by no one I mean the public. And we want to keep it that was for a while."

"Sorry." He whispered. I took a sip of my hot chocolate but quickly set the cup down after I burnt my tongue on the scalding hot contents.

"And I'm pregnant..." Josh went to say something but I threw a packet of sugar at him to stop him from yelling again. "Keep it down! You're attracting attention!"

"Sorry." I nodded and stirred my hot chocolate. I didn't even want it anymore. "So... how far along are you

"About 6 weeks." I didn't take my eyes off the swirling chocolate milk in my cup. Josh put his hand on mine and I finally looked up.

"Was it planned?" I shook my head.

"No, but it was like it was meant to happen, if you know what I mean." Josh nodded but looked confused.

"Liam knows how much I love Tori. He even told me that we were going to have our own some day. The rest of the guys kept teasing us and kept saying I was pregnant just to wind Liam up, but it never worked. He always used to smile and go along with the joke, so we both wanted it to happen in a way. Now that it actually has, I don't know what I want to do."

"What do you mean?" Josh took a sip of his coffee. I looked back down at my cup then back up at him.

"Every now and then I wish I wasn't pregnant. I want to be free to do whatever I want. I mean, I can't go skateboarding any more. God knows when I'll be on a board next. I'm going to miss that. Sometimes I just don't think I'm ready for this, but then I see Liam and all those thoughts wash away because I know he's going to help me through it. And since Aimee and I don't speak anymore, I don't have any girls I can talk to about this." I felt one small tear escape my eye. I can't believe I just poured my heart out to Josh in the middle of an almost empty old cafe.
