*BECS POV*

"I still don't like her." I say to Tiarn, Jacinta and Grace. Tiarns just told us about the Tarry love moment.

"I second that." Jacinta says, and we both chuckle. The movement sends a tiny spark of pain to my stomach and I wince and move my hand over my belly. It's been 7 and 1/2 months. Not long until a baby is born into this damned world.

"Are you okay Bec?" grace asks, all of us looking concerned.

"I can feel it. Not long until it's arriving." I say, rubbing my belly gently.

"How do you know?" Jacinta asks.

"I just do." I say, "I feel like it's going to come early and we need to be ready."

"You know," Tiarn starts, "There is a hospital around two blocks away. It feels horrible to even think about walking but I'm sure that they'll have the right medical supplies we need."

"It would be safer.." I say and the girls nod.

"What're you girls talking about?" Louis says, sitting down next to Jacinta and wrapping his arms around her. She leans into the touch and they both smile.

The fucking feels.

"We're wondering if it's a good idea to go to the hospital when the baby arrives. It's a two block walk. It would be safer and they'd have everything we need." I say and Louis looks convinced.

"You'd have to check with Liam and the rest of the group, if we're travelling that far we need as much protection as we can get." Lou says, seriously. I look to the rest of the group. Liam, Niall, Harry, Zayn are sitting on the couch, playing a board game that was recently found in one of the rooms. It's monopoly and it causes fights but it's the only game we have and the only form of entertainment since the electricity ran out. That means no TV, lighting or heaters. Yes, life is tough.

We get up and walk over to the group, interrupting the yelling and rolling of dice.

"Guys," I say gaining everyone's attention, "We've been thinking. There's a hospital two blocks away. The baby is obviously coming soon and we need a safe place to go. Thoughts?"

Looks are shared across the room. Everyone's thinking.

"It seems like a good idea. When do we leave?" Liam asks, completely accepting the idea. He smiles at me with the smile I love so much and I smile back.

"Tomorrow morning." Zayn states, more than suggests and we all nod. Soon enough we're all joining the game of Monopoly after Jacinta elbows Kendall and pushes her away before she can sit next to Louis.

~NEXT MORNING~

*GRACES POV*

"It's too early for this kind of shit," I complain to Zayn who's pulling the white covers off of my body. I groan and roll over.

The bed sinks down a little at Zayn climbing onto it. He attacks my neck with soft kisses and then resorts to tickling me when I don't react. This time I react. Badly. I start flailing around while laughing uncontrollably.

"S-Stop! Zayn!" I struggle out between laughs that we share.

"Will you get up?" Zayn asks, pausing the tickle fight.

"No," I say, hesitantly. Zayn continues to tickle me and I yell for him to stop.

"Yes, fine I'll get up!" I say and Zayn stops ticking me, pressing a soft kiss to my lips before lifting me up and setting me onto my feet.

"Time to get ready." He says tossing me my jeans and hoodie, "We have a long day ahead of us." I nod and take the clothes, pulling them on while Zayn also gets dressed.

Let's just imagine that I don't sneak a few peeks at his body. Let's just imagine that real hard.

*TIARNS POV*

"Ready to go downstairs?" I ask Harry as he pulls his backpack on his back. He pouts like a little child and shakes his head and I okay along.

"Why not?" I pout back and cross my arms. Harry points to his lips and makes a kissy noise. I laugh at him but walk forward, planting my lips on his. We both move in sync, his wondering hands moving towards my hips and staying there. He rests his forehead on mine and we smile like idiots.

"Okay, we can go now." he says, opening the door for us and we meet with Jacinta and Lou who's rooms aren't that far away from ours. Harry entwines our hands as we step down the stairs.

"Finally!" Niall exclaims, taking another bite of bread that's on the table. We all ignore Nialls protests and take a piece after seeing him eating. He moves the plate away from us and quickly eats the rest so that none of us take any more.

"Ready?" Grace says. We all check our belongings. Most of us have backpacks filled with items we may need such as food, bottled water, matches and weapons. Everything is checked off the list.

And so, we head towards the door to embark on our strenuous journey.
