Better Than Words

Chapter 6

Louis' POV

"Hello wittle tomwinson!" I cooed o Ellie's belly, tickling it with my fingers.

"Little's the right work." Ellie giggled. "He or she's a tiny little peanut, happily cooking away."

"Yes.. but he or she is OUR tiny little peanut," I smiled, "I'm so excited to tell the world about our baby!"

"As am I Lou Bear." Ellie snuggled in closer to me. "Do you think management will give you time off once it's born?"

"They won't have a choice.. I'm taking it with or without their permission, or we'll have our own family bus and you'll be WITH Me..." i said.

"You're not going to let me raise this baby by myself?" she asked with a concerned look in her eyes.

"NO! in no way shape or form!!! either with me at home or you with me on tour everywhere I go," I said.

Her face relaxed and she started to play with my fingers which were resting on her lap. "That's part of the reason I didn't tell you straight away you know, I didn't want to have to possibly face being a single mother."

"OH baby, never... never ever.. you and me.. this is it... I promise.." I said.

She smiled gently and laid her head on my shoulder. "Management were talking about me. Lou said she over-hear them."

"What'd they say?" I asked, tensing immediately.

"Said I got pregnant on purpose, trying to work out how they can hide it or give it away. Said it's not good for you image." she mumbled.

"Fuck those bastards..." I said, after covering her tummy.

"You'd better control that potty mouth once the baby's born." she scolded playfully.

"I know i promise, I'll work on it.." i smiled.

"You also have to work on nappy changes and burping and feeding and dressing. Maybe you should ask to borrow Luxy for a while?" she said.

"A couple over nights.. but she's not exactly an itty bitty baby," i said.

"You still treat her like an itty bitty baby so it could work." Ellie pointed out.

"This is true, we'll talk to Lou.." I smiled, "So... this whole thing with Jeny and Harry... it's nuts right? like form 0 to 60 in like two seconds..."

"I know, it's really not fair that they have to hide their relationship. None of us have to, why should they be any different?" sighed Ellie.

"I have no idea.. Harry for some reason seems to be the one attracting all the crazies..." i said, "And he gets the Larry shippers, the older women, the youngest women, and all the inbetweens... i guess his fanbase, let's be real, is just bigger than the rest of us.. twitter speaks for its self in followers..."

"It's just plain wrong Louis." she complained. "Love isn't something that a person should have to hide. It ticks me off how your fans can get so possessive whenever you're seen with a female."

"I know.. i hat e it too, harry more than most of us... i just... wish we could fix it..." I said, "They deserve to be with one another..."

"All of you should deserve to be open and honest about who you're dating. Your status as a celebrity should change that." she said. "Are we talking about how unfair Harry and Jen's secret relationship is?" Niall spoke up as he came in through the dressing room door.

"Yes..." I confirmed. 'Well i agree, it's stupid..." Nessie said, coming in after him, going to eleanor's belly and cooing at it.

The two of them proceeded to talk about girly shit and Niall plopped onto the arm of the sofa. "We can't let this go on forever, it's eating at the both of them." he said.
