6: Telling the Boys
Niall:
"Do we do it now?" Y/N whispered from beside me on the couch. All the boys were here for the
championship playoffs. "Sure, wait until half time, though?" I asked. It was a really good game and I didn't want to distract either myself nor the other boys from the game. "Sounds good." She smiled. At half time I called everyone's attention, "so, boys, Y/N and I actually have an announcement to make," I grinned at everyone. I wasn't very nervous at all to tell them, I knew they'd support us. "OH MY GOD YOU'RE PREGNANT!" Louis shouted out and I froze. What. I stared at Louis, I knew he was just playing but obviously his joke was actually truth. I saw Y/N's eyes wide and Louis' smile all of a sudden faded. "Wait... Wait, really?" He asked. "Surprise?" Y/N smiled weakly. "OH MY GOD." Louis shouted, jumping up from his seat and tackling Y/N on the chair. Then all the other boys jumped up and dove in to hug Y/N. "HOORAY!" "It's 'bout time!" "Oh this is exciting!" "Oh a mini Y/ship/N!" I laughed and then pulled everyone off my girlfriend. My pregnant girlfriend. A chorus of "Congrats, mate!" Was heard and finally they all settled back down. "Thanks guys, I knew you'd all be supportive," I grinned widely at them all. "No prob mate, and we'll all help babysit every once in a while too!" Louis said, sounding extremely excited. "Oh my god, no I am NOT leaving my child in your care Lou, nope. Never." Y/N interrupted and we all laughed, except Louis of course, who faked hurt. Soon we all went back to the game and I cuddled with Y/N, whispering "I love you," in her ear.
Louis:
"Ya and you two can come too!" Niall said. The boys all wanted us to come out with them and go clubbing. But Y/N being pregnant, she couldn't drink that much nor be that active. "Um, no I'm not gonna go," Y/N replied. "Aw, pleeease? You haven't in like, forever." Zayn complained. "I want to, but I can't. Sorry guys." "Why not?" Liam asked. Uh oh. Y/N looked up at me with questioning eyes and I knew she wanted to tell them. I guess its time. I nodded and Y/N turned back to the boys who were all confused now. "Y/N? Is something wrong?" Harry asked. "Well, no not really. Actually no not at all. I just can't go clubbing tonight because I can't drink." She said. "And why is that?" Niall asked. "Because of the baby," she said with a small grin. Their reactions were priceless. Zayn choked on his own spit, Harry, who had been walking out of the kitchen, tripped over nothing, Liam's jaw dropped and Niall's eyes were so wide I thought they were going to pop out of his head. "I'm sorry, did you say baby? As in child?" Niall asked in disbelief. "Ya, as in I'm pregnant," Y/N said, her smile widening. "Oh my god," Zayn said quietly, still trying to get over it. "So wait, you two like, had sex, and-" "HAROLD!" Liam shouted. "What? That's how it works!" "Ya but you don't- ugh, never mind. So you two are having a baby together," Liam reestablished. "Yes, Liam, that would be what we mean by 'baby' and 'pregnant'" I said, earning a giggle from Y/N and an eye roll from Liam. "Well congratulations!" Niall said. "This is big! Who else knows?" Zayn asked. "Only our parents and my friend, Y/F/N. We'll tell management and the fans soon though," Y/N said. I grinned and wrapped my arm around her waist. "We're really happy. You guys'll help, right?" I asked, really hoping they'd say yes because I knew this wouldn't be easy. "Oh, ya, of course, mate! We'll support you guys all the way," Harry said, looking around the group as they all nodded. "Thanks guys," Y/N smiled and I brought everyone in for a group hug.
Harry:
"Can we tell them noooow Harry?" Y/N pleaded. I was still nervous, not nearly as much as I had been for our parents or am for management and the fans, but still nervous. "Do we have to?" I asked, trying to put it off. "Harold," Y/N scolded. "C'mon, we're telling them, right now." She said louder and I groaned as Louis spoke up. "Telling us what?" He asked and then everyone's attention was on us. Y/N grinned a cheeky grin at me and I rolled my eyes. I really didn't want to do this. Im not saying I didn't want them to know, I did, but I didn't want to have to go through this nervousness. It's killing me! "Well," Y/N started with a smile. She hesitated though, causing me to get more and more anxious. "I'M PREGNANT!" She finally shouted, jumping up clapping. She was so happy about this. And as soon as the words slipped from her lips I smiled. She was. Y/N was pregnant and I was the father. The boys all shouted out, happy for our news. "Oh congratulations, guys!" "Ya, congrats! Ah, a baby!" "Wow, this is awesome!" "Thanks, everyone," I laughed, some of my anxiety gone but most still remaining for management and the fans. Anything could happen there. "Aw, and you can be sure the newbie'll have the best uncles to help take care of him," Niall said and I grinned. I kind of knew they would all be so supportive, but now i knew it for a fact.
Zayn:
"Mate, c'mon. What's this all about?" Harry asked. They had all gotten suspicious of my shortened time at meetings and more time at home with Y/N. I was even declining more and more invites to go out with them for just some fun. I hated leaving Y/N on her own and I just wanted to stay as close to her and the baby as possible. "So you have all been asking me what's up with cutting meetings short and saying no to clubbing and going out and stuff," "mate, we know what we think, now c'mon, what's the big news?!" Louis sassed. I just rolled my eyes at him, "uh, ok, so I guess I'll just get straight to it..." I grinned, looking over at Y/N. She smiled at me, squeezing my hand as I continued. "Y/N's pregnant," I smiled. And a few silent moments later, all four of them were attacking both Y/N and I with giant hugs. "Oi! Careful!" I shouted at them, worried they'd hurt Y/N or the baby. "Aw, getting all protective are we, Zaynie?" Niall mocked. "Shut up. Anyway, ya. That's why I've been spending more time with Y/N. Because there's more people I have to love now," I smiled down at Y/N. "WAIT YOU'RE HAVING TWINS?!" Liam shouted. I looked up in bewilderment. "TWINS?! No! Jesus Liam, where'd you get that idea from?!" I exclaimed. "Oh, sorry, mate, I just assumed... You said people... Plural and... Sorry." Liam said sheepishly. "Aw, no it's fine mate. Sorry, I just got a bit scared. You know. I might be able to handle one. But two I have no idea." I laughed.
Liam:
"Boys," I started. God this is nervous. Telling my best friends that I am expecting a kid. Me. In the middle of our career. "What's wrong, Li?" Zayn asked. "Um, I've got something to tell ya," I said, looking down. I had asked Y/N if I could tell them on my own and she had agreed, so here I was, sitting down with all the boys having lunch during our break from recording the next album. "Alright, go ahead. We're listening." Harry urged. I decided to just blurt it out. So i did. "Y/N's pregnant." I said and waited for their reaction. Harry, Niall and Zayn all jumped up, congratulating me and joking, just as I'd hoped. But then I saw Louis who was less enthusiastic. "Lou? What do you think?" I asked. "Well, I dunno, Liam. I mean, isn't it quite early?" He seemed a concerned. "I guess, ya, but we really love each other, Lou. Like, a lot. I would probably have a heart attack if she told me she wasn't into it anymore. Even in twenty years. And I know that sounds like another case of young love, but I think it's true. And I already love this baby more than myself and I've known about them for less than a month. And I can tell Y/N feels the same." I spoke truthfully and I saw Louis' smile appear. "I always knew you'd be the first. I'm glad that's how you feel. To be honest, I was kind of just testing you. I did feel you two were a little young, but I trust you. And I think you'll be an incredible father. Daddy direction," he said and we were all back to laughing again. Thank god.
