Emma's POV 

I stared down at the plastic stick I cluched in my hand. Josh is going to kill me. He said only a month ago he's not ready to be a father...but like hell. We've been together nearly 8 or 9 years and married near 3...how can you not be ready. How much time do you need? Well he best get ready to be a dad because guess what...

I'm PREGNANT.

Josh is currently at work so at least I don't have to deal with telling him yet. He's apparently working on so case on a man who was drink driving and killed a child or something. I aint got a clue. I don't pay attention much. I'm sat in a ball of the sofa, wondering who the best person to tell would be. I've ruled out the options of Dad and Mum. Maybe Uncle Niall can tell me what to do but maybe the talk of babies will upset him. Uncle Zayn? Maybe. Uncle Harry? He'll just make jokes...no way. Uncle Louis? Has his hands full right now...he has 3 kids of his own he doesn't need another one...I'll go for Uncle Zayn. I can also see Melissa while I'm at it. I picked up my phone and punched Zayn's number into it. 

"Hello?" 

"Hello Uncle Zayn, are you at home?" 

"Yes I am, Perrie has taken Melissa out though..." 

"That's fine...it's you I need to talk to." 

"Come over then, I'll have tea for you okay?" 

"Okay see you soon Uncle!" The line went dead. I got off the sofa, grabbed my bag and walked out the door to my car. I climbed in the drivers seat and prepared myself for the 10 minuet drive to Zayn's. I started the engine and pulled out of the drive. I sped of down towards Zayn's playing music...loud. Tears began to spill from my eyes. I don't know how I'm going to cope trying to tell Josh. Not everything in our marriage has been going smoothly since a month ago...since we had our first shouting match...I remember it clearly. 

Me and Josh were sat cuddling on the sofa watching so film. Abby was upstairs in our room asleep. Abby is 2 years old. She was an accident but a seriously gorgeous one. Melissa was no longer the only One Direction baby to be the spitting image of their mum because Abby was just the twin of Danielle. 

"Josh? Do you ever want kids?" Josh looked down at me and kissed my forehead. 

"Of course I do baby, I'm just not ready yet..." I laughed. How long do you need....seriously. 

"How long do you need Josh?" Josh let go of me and sat up straight. His eyebrows knotted together. 

"Meaning?" 

"How long do you need to actually be ready?" 

"I don't know Emma. As long as it takes..." Josh began to raise his voice at me. Something he has never done. In all the years I've been with him he has not once raised his voice, not even when I was about to kill myself. 

"Stop shouting you'll wake Abby. I was only asking Josh. Fucking hell." 

"Oh Emma just piss off. If I'm not ready for kids. I'm not ready you can't rush me into it..."

Well looks like I can Josh. Unlucky. I pulled up into Zayn's drive and parked next to his car. I hopped out the car and trecked upto the door. Before I had chance to knock the door swung open. I stood in front of Zayn, with bright red swollen eyes. 

"Oh Emma, come here!" Zayn opened his arms which I gladly walked into and broke down. 

Zayn's POV 

Once Emma had finished her breakdown in my arms she came into the house and sat down. I handed her a cup of tea and sat down in front of her. 

"What's up Em? Bad day?" Em shook her head and sighed. 

"Well it wasn't until earlier." I looked at Emma in total confusion causing Emma to crack up laughing. "No, Zayn don't look so confused...I'm pregnant and Josh says he isn't ready for children and I don't know what to do. I don't want it to ruin our marriage yet I want to keep it. In all honesty I'm scared." She wasn't lying. You could see it in her eyes and face. She was terrified. 

"Have you told Liam?" She shook her head. 

"You need to tell him Emma. He's your dad..." Perrie and Melissa walked through the door giggling. 

"I'm sorry Zayn, I didn't relaise Emma was here..." 

"It's fine I was just leaving." Emma stood up to leave when I pulled her back down. Melissa came over to Em and hugged her. Melissa adores Em, Emma is like a sister to Melissa. 

"Melissa can you go upstairs so me, mummy and Emma can talk please?" Melissa nodded and headed upstairs to either sing or something. I dunno what 7 year olds do. Perrie came and sat down inbetween me and Em. 

"So what's up?" Perrie pulled Emma into to hug and smiled. I kissed Perrie's cheek and sighed. 

"It's nothing seriously I'm fine. I'm going to go home..." Emma stood up and grabbed her bag. I pulled Emma into a hug and Perrie copied my actions. Emma walked towards the door and opened it. 

"Em? Tell him...please?" and with that Emma was gone.
