*Lauren's pov* *2 weeks later*
"P I'm home!!!" I scream as I walk through the door with Peyt screaming in my arms
"Shhhh it's ok sweet girl" I whisper as I rock the hysterical child in my arms but she continues to scream her head off
"Peyton!!" I yell again
My mother walks in from the kitchen and reaches for Peyt and says "Peyton is upstairs I think you should go talk to her"
"Is everything all right?" I ask concerned because I noticed the sound of worry in my mothers voice
"Just go talk to her" she says and walks away with Peyt
I run up the stairs as fast as I can and barge into the room to find Peyton on the floor crying
"P?" I say and walk over to her
She looks up at me but doesn't say anything
"What's wrong?" I ask and squat down next to her and brush the hair out of her eyes
"It's gone" Peyton croaks out
"What's gone?" I say confused and wrap my arms around her
"My baby" she mutters "Lauren I had a miscarriage"
"Oh my god" I say, this can't be true. I think to myself
"Why me???" Peyton screams into my chest
"Shhhhh I know" I say and kiss the top of her head
"The doctor said I didn't do anything wrong" Peyton sobs
"No of course you didn't do anything wrong baby, sometimes things just happen" I soothe her
"How am I going to tell Louis?? He already loves it so much" Peyton says
"I can tell him if you want" I say
"No I have to do it, he'll want to hear it from me" she says
"Okay baby" I say "just breathe you'll be alright I promise"
"Why do you get to have a baby but I don't??" She yells
"I don't know baby but it's not fair I know" I say and a tear threatens to spill "but think about it like this, you get to raise Peyt and be a second mother to her without having to do all the hard stuff"
"I guess" she says and chuckles a little
"And she loves you"'I say
"I love her too" she says
"Do you wanna call Louis now?" I ask
She nods her head
I reach into my pocket and dial Louis' number
*on the phone*
Louis: lauren?
Lauren: yea Louis it's me
Louis: is everything alright? You sound a little upset. Did you want to talk to Niall?
Lauren: no Lou Peyton needs to talk to you
Louis: oh great put her on I meant to call and ask how the doctor went but then Liam needed help with something
Lauren: oh, here's Peyton
Peyton: Lou?
L: yea baby I'm here what's wrong why are you crying
P: so I went to the doctor today
L: yea how did it go
P: it's dead Louis, our baby is dead
L: what??
P: I had a miscarriage Louis
L: no this can't be true
P: I know
L: I'm coming home
P: I want you too but you can't
L: I don't care I'm coming home now, and Niall is coming with me
P: no Louis you can't come home the boys need you there
L: yea but you need me more and I need you too
P:I do need you and I want you, I'm gonna have to have surgery to have the baby removed and I really want you with me
L: I'm coming home on the next flight to Ireland
P: ok
Niall: Peyton?
P: Niall?
N: it's okay Peyton you'll be ok I know you will
P: I don't know Niall
N: I promise, me and Louis will be there tomorrow, tell Lauren and Peyt I love them and I love you
P: thanks Niall
Lauren: Niall James Horan!!! I told you your staying on tour
N: oh come on baby I miss you so much
L: fine.
N: I'll see you tomorrow babe I love you
L: me too
Louis: don't leave Peyton's side please Lauren she really needs you right now
Lauren: of course Louis
Louis: thanks love, goodnight
Lauren: night Lou see you tomorrow
*end phone call*
"Louis will be here tomorrow but for now I'm not leaving your side" I say and take Peyton's hand in mine
"I'd love that except for you have a baby and you need to take care of her" Peyton says
"Right I forgot" I say
"You better not forget because some one is looking for their mother" my mum says and she walks in with a awake Peyt in her arms
"Thanks mum" I say and take Peyt out of her arms
She nods "I know this sucks right now Peyton but it will get better" she says and places her hand on Peyton's cheek
"Thanks mrs. Roberts" she says and smiles
My mother leaves and I hold Peyt in one arm and hold Peyton's hand in my other hand
We lean our heads against each other's and I say "I love you"
"Me too" she says
"Just wait our boys will be home tomorrow" I say
"Peyt really is beautiful" Peyton says and stares adoringly at my daughter
I can't help but feel horrible to have a healthy baby in my arms while my bestfriend is sitting here on the floor next to me with a dead baby in her stomach
"You know just because things went wrong this time doesn't mean they will next time, if you and Louis are meant to have a baby it will happen" I say
"Thanks Lauren but maybe it's a sign, maybe I'm not supposed to have a baby at 18" she says
"I don't think anyone is supposed to, me and Niall just got lucky" I say and kiss Peyt's head
I sit there in silence with Peyt asleep in my arms and Peyton laying motionless next to me, how did I get so lucky to have Peyt?
