"Well uhm..." Zayn says, stalling for a bit. "...have you told him yet?" He finally asks, looking at his best friend who's sitting across from him on the couch, gently caressing his stomach.
"No..." Louis sighs, looking up at Zayn. He licks his lips as he starts speaking again, "Im scared, Z. What if he doesn't want a baby yet?"
Zayn blinks as he thinks of his other best friend's reaction to the news. He furrows his eyebrows and looks at Louis, "Are you sure you're pregnant?" He asks slowly.
Louis rolled his eyes and lays on the couch, his head above his clasped hands, "Yes. I'm pretty fucking sure. Are those six tests in front of you not enough to tell you that i am?" He huffs and looks up at the ceiling, "I take one everytime we do unprotected sex. And this time it came out positive, so i had to try five more times." Louis closed his eyes and exhaled heavily.
Silence filled the room for a few minutes until Zayn speaks up crossing his arms, "I've known Harry since we were like... egg cells..." he says to which Louis snorted, "..and i never heard him say anything related to having kids. So.. i don't know, Lou. How do you think he'll react to this?" he sighs and looks outside the window thinking of the possible reactions Harry would have. But nothing really came to his mind.
He saw Louis open his eyes but continued to look forward. A few minutes passed and he's sitting up as fast as he laid down looking directly at Zayn.
"Whoa! Slow down, dude. The little guy's probably sleeping, you'll wake him up moving that fast." He says, a worried look on his face.
He saw Louis rolled his eyes for the 999th time today, "I haven't been to the doctor, Z, we don't know if it's a boy."
"God, i hope it's a boy.." Zayn says, "So you don't know how long that little guy has been there?" He asks checking his phone for texts, which had none so he put it back beside him facing down, looking at Louis.
"Yes, basically." Louis leaned towards him, "I might have a plan before we tell Harry about this." Louis said with a firm expression on his face.
"You do?" He asks, furrowing his eyebrows, "Why do i suddenly feel scared about this?" He added.
"It's because it is scary. Now what i want you to do, is ask his opinion about... you know... a baby." He explains slowly. Zayn knows why this plan is scary. It's because neither of them know what Harry will say. Will he say something positive? Or the opposite?
"Uhm..." He scratches his neck and exhales heavily. "Okay, i'll do it... But don't you think you should just... tell him?" He suggests, hoping Louis would change his mind and just get straight to it.
Louis stands up thinking about what he just said. He starts pacing back and forth, occasionally running his hand through his hair. He then shakes his head as he speaks, "No, i can't do that. If he refuses to take care of me and the baby, i'll die on the spot. I can't handle that. I'd rather have Harry not say it directly to me."
"Lou, baby, i got your chicken nuggets!"
Speaking of the devil, both boys snapped their heads to the direction of the voice which was by the door. With widened eyes, Louis gave Zayn a signal to put the tests away as he tried to fix his distressed face. Zayn picks up every evidences there is and looks around for the nearest trash bin.
He found one beside a large speaker and was about to put everything inside when Louis stopped him, "He'll see those if you put it there! Find somewhere else, not the bins, i'll distract him!" he frustratingly whispered going over to where his boyfriend is.
