*Calum's POV*
Luke's birthday surprise went great! I'm so glad Amanda and the girls decided to come up so early. I miss my princess. Michael and I excused ourselves to go find our girls after the surprise. Soon enough we found our fiancées. They were checking out the arena. They were both facing the stage with their backs toward us. I looked at Michael and put my index finger to my lips gesturing for him to follow me quietly. The two of us slowly snuck up behind the girls and I was ready to scare the crap out of Emily when she spoke.
"Nice try, Hood, but you aren't sneaky." She said and turned around.
I flashed a cheesy grin at her before pulling her into my arms.
"How do you always know what I'm doing?" I asked and she laughed.
"We've been together over two years now. I think I know when you're trying to scare me." She smiled and pecked my lips. I stepped back and looked her up and down checking out how gorgeous she looked. She had on a nice dress with flowy sleeves and cut out shoulders. Her belly was starting to look like a baby bump and it made me so happy. I knelt down and put both my hands on her belly and placed a gentle kiss where it was the fullest.
"Daddy loves you, baby. I've missed you and momma so much!" I said gently to her belly. "I can't wait to meet you, my little prince, or princess." Just then I felt a small flutter under my left palm. I looked up at Emily with excitement. I love feeling our monster move.
I returned to my feet pulling her in for a hug. "I missed you." I said against the top of her hair.
"I missed you too." She mumbled into my chest. I loved holding her in my arms. She always grips my shirt as tight as she can so she won't lose her grip. It's those little things that I miss the most.
"Hey, are you hungry, honey?" I asked pulling away only enough to look at her face.
"Aren't I always?" She said with a giggle.
"Alright. Breakfast it is then." I said waving goodbye to Michael and Deysi who had been up on stage messing with our equipment, and leading Emily out of the arena and to the nearest breakfast place.
"So, how's the summer been treating you, love?" I asked and she smiled.
"It's okay. I wish I could be on tour with you instead, but there's no way I'd be comfortable sleeping in your bunk with you like this." She said putting her hands on either side of her baby bump.
"You're probably right, love." I said and paused for a moment just looking at her.
"What?" She said as her cheeks flushed the most beautiful pink color.
"You look more beautiful every time I see you." I said.
"I don't know how. Between not sleeping and throwing up all the time, I'm not sure how I even still look human." She said smiling.
"You're gorgeous, princess." I said grabbing and kissing her left hand.

After we ate, Emily wanted to sit down and relax. I don't blame her. It's hot as balls and she's pregnant. We walked hand and hand back to the bus.
"I think I need an extra pillow to lay down on the couch. Can I have one of yours?" She asked.
"Of course my love." I said heading back toward the bunks. She followed me. I pulled back the curtain to my bunk and it was different. I saw new sheets, blanket, pillow cases, and even a little stuffed bear, all blue. I turned around to see Emily smiling at me.
"Thanks babe. You got me new bed stuff." I said kissing her forehead.
"That's it? That's all you have to say? Thanks?" She said looking at me.
"What else do you want me to say?" I asked confused. She grabbed the small bear from the bunk and handed it to me.
"What color is this Calum?" She asked.
"Blue." I said still confused.
"Good, now, what color is all the rest of the stuff?" She asked.
"It's all blue." I said.
"Right! Its all BLUE." She said putting a lot of emphasis on the color. I scanned the bunk for what I could be missing.
"I mean, I like blue but..." My voice trailed off as I looked at Emily with both hands on her belly. It clicked. "Blue. BLUE! IT'S A BOY! WE'RE HAVING A BOY!" I yelled pulling her in tight. She laughed against my chest and held me even tighter.
"You're a little slow, but at least you're happy. We're having a boy, Cal." She said and kissed my lips passionately. Once the kiss was broken, I pulled out my phone.
"I've gotta call the guys and tell them. I'm having a fucking boy!" I said as I dropped to my knees and kissed her belly again. "Hi, Noah! Daddy loves you so much!" I said and kissed her belly for the third time today. She giggled and I stood up dialing the phone. Luke was the first person I called.
"Hello?" He said and I couldn't control my excitement.
"I'M HAVING A BOY!" I screamed into the phone.
"I know bro, I'm the one who helped Amanda decorate your bunk." He said.
"GOD DAMMIT!" I yelled walking toward the living room of the bus and hanging up the phone. Michael, Deysi, Ashton, and Emily were all looking at me.
"It's a boy guys!" I said excitedly.
"We know. Really mate? It took you that long for the blue to click?" Michael teased.
"Fuck you Michael." I said jokingly.
"Woah! There's no need to be hostile!" He yelled dramatically.
"Congrats, bro." Ashton said and pulled me into a hug.
"Thanks, man. I'm so happy." I said.
There was a little more talk about the baby when I realized that I had to let the fans know. I grabbed Emily's hand and asked Ash if he would do me a favor. I laid in my bunk and had Emily lay down in front of me. The two of us used our hands to make a heart on her belly and Ashton snapped the picture. I then proceeded to tweet the picture captioned: "I just wanted to let all you amazing fans know that Emily and I are having a boy! Beyond happy right now!❤️"
