The Red Shoes ~ Zerrie au

Chapter 19: I didn't know

Perrie's POV

When I wake again. Zayn is still at my side in the chair. He looks like he has been doing a lot of thinking and in contemplating something. I adjust my self and look at him and he looks up at me.

"Oh your awake." He smiles, leaning forward and pecking my lips.

"Are you ok?" I ask him. He just sighs then he opens his mouth to talk.

"Did you know that you are pregnant?" He asks. I'm what? I have a baby inside of me for how long? and I didn't even know. I shake my head in shock. I'm afriad that if I open my mouth I will end up crying. I move my hand and place in on my belly. In the mirror there is nothing different. I look the same. I must not be that far along then.

"H-how far a-along?" I stutter, holding my tears back.

"Chantel said about 5-6 weeks." Zayn says. I've had a little baby growing inside me for 5 to 6 weeks and I didn't even know. There is the circle of life for you. "It is mine right?" Zayn asks. 

"Wh- Why would you even ask that? Of course it is yours." I sound more like I am trying to convince myself not Zayn. Because thinking back. If i'm only 1 and a half months along then it might not be Zayn's. That was around the time when I broke up with him and slept with that guy from the bar. Eww! Having a baby with a random stranger.

"I'm just wondering cause you also slept with that guy." Zayn points out.

"It's yours ok? just drop it." Now I'm kind of pissed off. I'm freaking 18 and I'm having a kid and it probably isn't even Zayn's. I turn on my side so I am facing away fro Zayn. I wish I had Jade here with me, she would help me through this.

"Perrie. I'm sorry. I'm just stressing out." I roll back over to look at Zayn, he look's like he is about to cry. He leans over so his face is just above mine. "I mean, you are in hospital and I thought I had lost you. Then I get news that your having a baby. And this is all around the sam tim our careers are being started and I-" I cut him off by pulling his lips to mine. He needed to stop talking. He is stressing when he doesn't need to be. I was the one who sleep with a stranger.

"Don't worry it will be fine. I'm sure I'll be out of here in no time." I whisper and join our lips again. His kiss is definitly something I've been craving.

------------------

"Hello, Perrie." Chantel walks back in. "I was wondering if you wanted an ultrasound?" She asks. I nod my head with a smile then look to Zayn. "So let's get you out of bed. We'll have to wheel the IV stand with us. I sit up and pull the blaket back, being careful of th drip in my hand. Zayn takes my free hand and helps me up. Once i'm standing I lean on Zayn for support and use my hand to hold the back of the hospital gown together because it is open. Zayn pushes the stand for me. We follow Chantel down the hall. 

"So, we have to upstairs, so we'll take the elevator. All our maternal equipment is in the maternity ward." She explains. I just nod my head and both Zayn and I follow her into the elevator. It isn't that far from the elevator till we reach the ward. I look ut the windows and the sun is know where to be found. It is so dark outside.

In the ward, Chantel leads us to a room down the end of the hall past all the rooms with either pregnant women, screaming babies, sleeping babies or women in labour who are frantically being rushed to the birthing room. We stop at a room, that has so many machines in it.  We step into the room and Chantel closes the door

"So Perrie, you need to lay up here, and then we can cover you up with a towel so we can pull up the robe." She explains. I nod and Zayn's help me up. Once I'm on the bed and the stand is next to me. Chantel draps a towel over my lower half and then I help her pull my gown back over my stomach just bellow my boobs.

"So this won't hurt. But the gel will be cold." She explains. She picks a stick like thing and puts gel on he end of it. She flicks a switch and the lights turn of and a screen turns on. Zayn moves back to my side and holds my hand. I want a DNA test of this baby as well, just to be sure but I don't want Zayn to know about the test. 

Chantel moves the stick across my still flat stomach, the gel is so cold that is sends shivers down my spine. The screen looks like the bottom of the ocean, it is a dark blue/grey colour and it moves as she moves the stick. 

"See that?" She points to a tiny bean. Both Zayn and I nod. "That is your baby." She smiles. It is so freaking small. It is like the size of my finger nail, actually probably small. She presses a button on the stick and he screen flashes a few times, then I hear a printer roar to life. Chantel grabs a cloth and wipes my stomach then I pull the robe back down and sit on the edge of the bed.

"Here you go." She hands Zayn the photo and then he helps me down. "Ok, let's go back to the room now. Your dinner should be here soon." We follow her back to the room where I see my mum in the chair that Zayn was in.

"Mum!" I throw my arms around her as she meets me by the door.

"Oh Perrie." She hugs me tightly before moving aside so Zayn can help me back into bed. Chantel places a copy of the ultrasound in my folder and then leaves. Zayn sits on the edge of my bed and hands the ultrasound to my mum. So will flip.

"I remember when I got my first ultrasound of you." She smiles. Zayn probably told her. "Do want a girl or a boy first?" She asks.

"Girl." Zayn and I say at the same time. We never actually talked about it but it is cool that we both wanted the same.

"I think I would have prefered to have you first. Jonnie was a nightmare. And Caitlin well she was exactly like Jonnie. Never slept, just cried and cried and cried." My mum laughs. I've never really bonded with my mum like this before, it's nice.
