Meet the Baby

Chapter 13

"I-um... Yeah I'm fine" Diana says with more confidence. Jess follows her glare to see Harry gaping at Diana wide-eyed. 

"Oh Harry be nice!" Jess hisses, hitting his arm painfully. Harry's startled and rubs where she had just hit. 

"What?! I'm being polite!" He scowls. Diana looks away, hoping Harry didn't see all the longing in her eyes. 

"I mean I know she's a bad dancer and all but you don't have to gawk!" Jess then finishes. Harry's eyes snap to Jess's as he eyes her in confusion. Diana's head flies up as she feels her whole mask collapsing. 

"She's... What?" Harry asks, but he's cut off by the squealing of fans who had been let backstage. 

"Quick Jess, it's a stampede!" Louis cries playfully. He grabs her arm and tugs her off. Niall was running too, and Louis snatched Maggie from his arms quickly. 

"THEY'VE CAUGHT US!" Louis screams as loud as he screams his signature 'SUPERMAN!' Jess laughs with Maggie. 

"Go Jess... Save yourself... Take Maggie with her... Remind her.... Her daddy always loved her" Louis says falling to the ground dramatically and reaching up to Jess as though he was falling. This of coarse was a terrible idea as a large group of fans slipped past Paul and basically tackled Louis. Jess could hear his girlish screams and had to sit down to avoid collapsing in laughter. 

"Wait... You're that girl from the video call?" Harry asks, his mouth growing into a large devilish smile. Diana goes beet red, cursing Jess's air-brained head. 

"I-um... Maybe?" She suggests with a little hopeful smirk. He laughs allowed, clutching his stomach as he breaks into hysterics. She heaves a deep sigh, wallowing in her own self pity. 

"Oh good! Do you mind getting me a bottled water?" Niall asks, sweaty and out of breathe. Diana looks at him confused, 

"Um, I have no idea where bottled water is" She says sharply. Harry had sunken her moods and she knew it wasn't Niall's fault, but she just couldn't help it.

Though it did help when Niall's fair complexion went firetruck red as he sputtered the way Diana usually did when she was around the boys. 

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! I thought you were stage crew! So sorry! I'm not sexist, I swear!" He says bug eyed. Diana chuckles while he bites his lip, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. 

"Don't worry, it's fine... I'm Diana Jess's friend" She says introducing herself. Niall grins, taking her hand and shaking. 

"I'm Niall! Niall Horan, and it's a pleasure to meet you" He says sweetly. She grins, appreciative of his natural kindness... And his cute accent. 

"Niall, have you seen Joe anywhere?" Zayn asks stepping almost completely in front of Diana. She scowls at his rudeness, while Niall looks to her apologetically. 

"Um, no mate sorry" Niall says dissmising him. He growls, storming off annoyed. 

"Sorry about him, you know how boys are when they're love struck!" Niall says with a nervous laugh. She grins, cocking an eyebrow.

"Why do you say that?" She asks mysteriously. 

"Oh well I'm sure you've got boys falling for you all the time!" Niall says with a laugh. He blushes again noticing how much of a flirt he was being. Diana laughs, patting his arm with the same flirtatiousness. 

"Quite on the contrary... Well I should probably go find Jess" Diana says grinning. Niall looks up then, scanning the room. 

"Oh, I'll help you!" He says eagerly. He takes off around the room, waiting for Diana almost like a well disciplined puppy. Diana smirked as she thought of his bleach blonde hair as little dropping puppy ears.
