Meet the Baby

Chapter 7

"Yeah who's that? Daddy Liam and Niall? What are they- Oh their undressing daddy Harry! Oh, uncle Paul's not gonna like this!" Jessica says in a sing-song voice as she bounces Maggie.

"Um, excuse me?" Someone says behind her. Jess spins obnoxiously trying to get a laugh out of the playful baby.

"Can I help you..." Jess begins with a warm smile, though freezes in shock seeing who it is.

"Yeah, when is Louis coming off?" Elaenor asked. Jess was wide eyed, not really knowing what to say,

"Um-er, hey should be off soon. Oh you'll have to excuse me!" She cries when Maggie begins to squirm. Jessica thanks the distraction and runs off to change the angry baby.

Two Hours Later

The boys bounded off the stage, dripping with sweat and smiling ear to ear. They laugh and chat amoung themselves as they rush into their dressing room.

"Hey, where's Mag and Jess?" Zayn asks after downing a whole water bottle" They all then realize the absense and look around confused, as though the two would just pop up.

"Um, Louis?" Comes a familiar voice from the doorway. Louis spins around with a mix of shock and confusion.

"Elaenor?" He asks unconfidently. She smiles weakly and struggles for words.

"Wanna go talk?" He says reading her mind. She only nods and the two leave the room, leaving four shocked faces in Louis' wake. They stand in the wide corridor as hair and wardrobe people rush around them.

"Hey I just... I need closeure" She starts. He nods, looking into her warm brown eyes, "I've missed you! And well... I don't know"

"I've missed you too" He says with a smile. She laughs light heartedly and searches for words.

"So then, what's stopping us?" She says smiling. Louis wants to just agree but there's something stopping him.

"Well, why did you leave in the first place?" He asks, worried for her answer.

"That's why I'm here... I saw the baby and well... I'm not ready! I'm not ready to be a mum! I want to just be a girlfriend! We'll have kids in the future, but for now, we're kids!" She stresses. He furrows his eyesbrows,

"But what about Maggie then?" She actually laughs,

"Louis, what is she six months? Personally, I don't think she's yours! I mean sure she has your nose and stuff but that's it! I mean, she probably doesn't even know who you are!" She continues. This cut him deep and he stood there feeling hollow.

"You can't be sure of that" He mumbles. She takes his hands and guides his chin up as he store determined to the floor.

"Louis, this shouldn't be this difficult. C'mon, let's go get coffee" She says. He wants to just say yes, but something hits him... Tonights my night to stay up with her...

"Can't, I've gotta watch the baby" He shrugs. She's taken back,

"But isn't that why you hired that nanny?" Jessica... He had completly forgotten about her.

"So El, your asking me to choose you, or the baby?" Louis asks growing strength.

"Fine! If you want to bring it to that, sure. Me, or the baby" She says simply. The answer's on his tongue, begging to come out. No matter who it is the answer will always be the same,

"The baby" He says with a smirk. Her jaw drops and she struggles to find words to match her shock.

"Hey! Maggie and the furoucious beast!" Harry sings, clapping his hands. Louis peeks over Elaenor's shoulder seeing Jess hold Maggie's two hands as she walked with much support.

"Woah, are you calling me a beast?" Jess asks with faux insult. Harry freezes and gives her an evil look.

"C'mon let's get him!" Jess says slinging Maggie on her side and chasing Harrt as he ran, sticking out his tongue at the two.

"Really?" Elaenor bursts. Louis shoots back into reality and looks at her hard.

"Absolutly" He says with a confident smile. Now all the guys are in on the large game of tag and Jessica looses her breathe chasing afer Zayn. Louis watches as he runs straight into a garbage can, flipping over and falling in.

"Oh and daddy Zayn falls!" Harry cries laughing. Though he was distracted and slips right across a folding table that had been right infront of him.

"Let's hope those two aren't you daddies" Liam said solemnly next to Jess and Maggie.

"Yeah, let's hope it's Louis!" He cries, leaving Elaenor's shocked face to join the group. They all look to him confused, but seeing his energetic face they lighten up for the moment.

On The Bus

"Next stop Mexico. You sure things are alright here? I'll be in the truck behind you" Paul said settling them on their tour bus. Niall gives a thumbs up and lounges across the couch, playing with his phone.

"Stop worrying Paul and live a little!" Louis cries. They all look to him, look who's talking
their expressions read. He scowls at them all as they chuckle darkly.

"Alright, safe driving" Paul grumbles and climbs out. They all whoop as the bus gives off a long honk, and their on thier way.

"New country, this should be exciting" Zayn smiles. Louis had the laptop open across the small dining table. He looked highly disturbed by what he was reading,

"Oh god... Look at all the viruses we can catch! She's not that immune! She can get really sick!" He cries reading Web MD. They all groan.

"You need to relax man, seriously" Harry groans. Louis glares at him as he continues surfing the web.

"So what happened with El?" Zayn asks. Everyone grows quiet to listen in. 

"Get this, she asked me to choose! Her or Mag!" Louis says with a laugh. They all grow silent.

"And you chose Mggie right?" Zayn asks nervously. Louis looks to them shocked,

"Of coarse! What's wrong?" He asks seeing their disturbed faces.

"Mate, she might not even be yours... Don't you love her?" Harry asks sympathetically. Louis looks up fully now, shocked at their reaction.

"Are you kidding?! She's as much mine as yours! Of coarse I'll choose her!" Louis cries.

"Listen Lou, what if she turns out to be... Liam's! What'll you do?" Niall asks. They all nod,

"Then I plan to be the best uncle I can!" He fires. They all shrug and continueing what they were doing. Jess goes to sit next Louis, and rubs his back generously.

"What would you do if she's not yours?" She whispers to him. He shakes his head,

"I'll be the best uncle I can" He repeats with a hard look. Jess stares at the screen with him.

"You can always talk to me" She says before kissing his cheek and sitting pracitcally on top of Niall on the couch.

"When did you get so annoying?" Niall asks sarcastically.

"Since I started hanging out with you so much" She replies pulling at his hair playfully. He laughs and pushes her right off. She laughs and the two kick at eachothers legs jokingly.

"You okay?" Harry asks walking past Louis,

"I'm more upset your guys have to keep asking. Wouldn't you choose her?!" Louis cries. Harry nods, and replies in a whisper,

"Always."
