Better Than Words

Chapter 3

Vanessa's POV

Thirteen hours later we landed in Los Angeles... straight flight from London.. We all piled off the plane and we were met by a SWARM of paparazzi....

"Oh brilliant." I moaned, with a death grip on Niall's hand. I was claustrophobic just like him and the paps tended to swarm like packs of lake flies.

Paul go tin front of us all with airport security and basically kept them at bay till they noticed Jeny and harry behind us and it was like they forgot about the rest of us and raced to get pictures of them holding hands.

My best friend went as white as a sheet and Harry tried to desperately to break away from the crowd. "Paul we need help here!" he barked.

Paul must not have heard him and led the rest of us out.

"Geroff her!!!" harry growled, shoving some pap.

"Paul! Preston! Harry and Jen are in trouble!" Niall called out to the body guards.

"Shit!" Paul said, and rushed back.

"GET OFF!! STEP BACK!!!" Preston rushed to pull them out of the crowds and Paul pushed a few paps back and threatened them with lawsuits. Jeny and Harry managed to break free of the cameras and dashed over to the group. My poor best friend was shaking like a Chihuahua.

"I.. didn't... like... that..." she cried.

"Come here sweetie." I said gently as I pulled her into my arms. "It's okay it's all over now, you're safe her with all of and and with Harry."

"I just.. they've.. never.... been l like that.. before.." she cried, as we closed the SUV doors.

"And they'll never do anything like that again if they want to keep living." growled Preston. "Damn parasites."

"I outta strangle the bastards," harry said.

"This is why I'm so scared..." Jeny whimpered.

"Babe calm down, Harry's got you." he said while combing through her hair with his fingers.

"I love you, im so sorry.. im so sorry i've brought this on everyone..." she whispered.

"You didn't bring this on anyone Jen." Liam said. "The paps brought this all on themselves."

"I meant you guys... to harry.... i just. gosh so much drama... why do they care about who you're seeing so damn much?!

"Because all they care about is snapping pictures to spread rumors and ruin lives of celebrities so they can cash in on it." Niall grunted.

"Well that's stupid..." she said, softly, "It's not like IM brand new...." 

"But our change in relationship is...." harry said, softly, "They don't care about anything but a story.."

"Exactly, it's like we keep saying they're pests, parasites." Liam said. "I wonder if I set a bug bomb off in the house they'd die?" Louis chimed in.

"Doubt it.. they're like cockroaches.. they never will," Jeny grumbled. I sighed and stroked my best friends hair, stealing her from harry. "Shhh, you're upsetting duh baby," i smiled.

Her face became puzzled. "Upsetting the baby? But Niall doesn't look that upset to me; hungry maybe yes but not upset."

I laughed. "He's pouting.. look at him," i joked. Niall put on his puppy face. "No, dat baby," he said, pointing to eleanor's tummy. This made Jeny sit up in a rush and Eleanor look like she wanted to crawl in a hole and Louis' faces to pale.

"We...we never mentioned a baby Niall. What are you on about?" Louis said nervously.

"How did you find out?" Eleanor whispered.

"I've got three nieces, my aunt was pregnant a few years ago and one of my best friends back home gave birth six months ago. I've been around enough pregnant women to know what they look like." I said. "And I know cause she sucks at keeping secrets from me and spilled da beans." Niall added.

"OH my god.. Eleanor.. you... you... oh my god," Louis said in shock, his entire face going white. "I hadn't told him yet," Eleanor whimpered.

"Hey look he's like a puppet." snickered Harry, who was controlling Louis limp arms like a marionette.

"OH god, El, I'm sorry... i didn't know you hadn't told him..." I said. "I'm.. I'm gonna be a dad..." Louis whispered, before his eyes rolled back into his head and he passed out.

"Nap time for Lou." Zayn commented. "I'll grab his legs, Haz can you take his arms?" Liam said. "Will someone else need to support his big bum?" Harry joked.

"Paul! ER! Please!!!" Eleanor said softly, stroking Louis' hair back. "He just fainted, he'll be fine." he said, as we pulled into the underground garage at the hotel we were staying at. We got Louis upstairs and he woke with a cool cloth. "You okay my Lou bear," El cooed.

"Baby...baby...Daddy." he mumbled, clearly still disoriented.

"Oh baby i know, you're gonna be a daddy baby, we're having a baby," El whispered.

"Ellie, I still act like a child; how can I be a father to one?" he asked her. Fear was written all over his face.
