KRIS'S POV

I cant fall asleep. I just lay here in this bed which has become mine, in this cramped room which has become mine. I just lay here on my back staring up at the ceiling. My brain doesn't seem to shut up. It just keeps thinking and thinking about anything and everything. Thinking about the call I received just a few hours ago.

Few hours ago..

"We're home!" Zayn shouts as we walk into the house after leaving the diner.

I still am in shock I am having a girl. This is one of the best birthdays ever.

I wipe my shoes on the door mat and hang up my coat.

Trish comes running up to me with open arms.

"Oh Kris! Your going to have a girl! A little baby girl! Oh my I think I'm going to cry again!" She wipes her eyes and throws her arms around me.

Motherly hugs from her are amazing.

"I got you a little something!" She smiles at me and grabs my hand.

"You didn't have to get me anything!" I say as she drags me into my small box of a bedroom.

She leads me in the room and as I step inside she closes the door behind me.

I can't believe the sight in front of me. I close my eyes and open them again to see if its still there, just to make sure I'm not dreaming.

Its still there. Oh my God. Wow.

"Did you make this?" I ask aloud while still looking at the beautiful thing in front of me.

"Yes I started it a week ago and finished today. I have been working on it so when you go back home you will have something to remember us by." Trish sobs.

My heart melts. There is a giant hand made soft pink blanket in front of me. Its a ginormous blanket. On the center of it is a picture of me and Zayn laughing because we were as usual, eating like pigs. Trish quickly snapped a picture of us in the middle of laughing. I thought the picture was bad, but now looking at it I look so happy. Zayn is looking at me with his eyes squinted from laughing and his head tilted back with a smile on his face. My head is tilted back, my eyes closed and laughing with a smile from ear to ear.

"Trish I don't know what to say, its, beautiful." I am speechless.

"I thought maybe you can put it in the baby's room." She says and puts her arm around my shoulders.

Baby's room. We don't have a baby room. Whats going to happen when I have the baby? Are Harry and I going to move out? But what about Gemma? These are the things I need to be talking about with Harry right now, but I can't even call him.

"How did you get the picture on the blanket?" I ask in astonishment.

Trish laughs. "First I hand made the entire blanket pink. Then I went to the local photography editing shop and they were able to enlarge the photo and add it to the blanket. Don't ask me how they did it!"

"It means so much to me that you went through all this trouble! I want you to know before I eventually leave, that you are the mother I never had and I love you and thank you for all you have done for me." I kiss her on the cheek and wrap my arms around her.

She starts crying. "Oh Kris! You are the daughter I never had. Please promise to come and visit when you go back home, and we will come visit you too sweetie."
