he's protective of your baby bump

Louis - You groaned standing on your tiptoes, trying to reach to the highest shell. Your baby belly was squeezed against the kitchen counter when you tried to grab the small thyme jar so you could add it to your cooking. "Whoa, whoa, whoa," Louis' voice yelled from doorway making you grunt. "What did I say about reaching, babe?" He asked seriously walking next to you, hand running through his brown hair. He was all sweaty after he and Niall had a play in your back yard. His chest was rising quickly with his breathing when he reached to the jar easily, putting it down to the counter. You rolled your eyes, feeling how you grew annoyed all of the sudden. "Seriously Lou, I can put my hands over my head! It's not a big deal! I'm pregnant, not dying!" You snapped, turning around to face the counter when you felt his tattooed arms wrap around your waist, warm hands drawing circles to your small pregnant belly where your son kicked against his dad's hands. You could feel Lou's lips against your hair when he smirked to the feeling of his son's feet. "I know, babe, I just don't want anything to happen to our little man in there," he confessed softly, making your angriness wash away. Turning around you placed your hands to his stubbly cheeks, looking how his blue eyes sparkled. You smiled gently, rising to your tiptoes to kiss his lips but he stopped you quickly. "Louis!" you whined, but he just shook his head biting his pink lower lip. "Sorry love, I'm just trying to keep our little man safe and comfortable."

Niall - Niall's laugh pierced the air when he jogged after Theo on the Horan's back yard. The small boy was already big enough to play soccer with his uncle, granddad and father. The four Horan men ran after the ball, making you and Denise smile gently to them, waving to Theo when he beamed at you. "Auntie Y/N, auntie Y/N, Come to play!" Theo cheered happily , running next to you before tugging your hand with his small one. You giggled nodding but not getting a chance to get up before Niall was next to you, blue eyes eyeing you warily. "Absolutely not," he said quickly, running his hand through his blond hair revealing his brown roots. "Niall," you warned, reminding him that only you two knew about your newly discovered pregnancy. It was a plan that you'd tell that evening after the dinner, but Niall was never good at keeping secrets. He looked at you shaking his cute head before Theo pouted, running to get his mom to play with them. You smiled at Niall, shaking your head a little. "You're going to have long nine months if you're going to say no to everything what I do, love," you giggled, making him beam at you goofily. He lowered his big hands to your belly when he reached to kiss your mouth hastily. "No soccer before lil' one's out, princess," Niall said lowering his voice when he stroked your still flat belly with his thumbs, "Just sit and come to tell me if somethin's wrong with ye, okay? Even if it's just a feelin'." You smiled at his adorable concern when he kissed your lips again twice. "One for ye, one for our lil' one," he whispered after grinning so wide that his nose scrunched, "Love ye."

Liam - You smiled at him through the web cam, resting your hands on your big pregnant belly. He was listening you quietly when you told about your day, describing the ice cream you were eating while baby shopping with Ruth. "And then fans found us, but it was okay because we were almost ready anyway," you giggled, rubbing your belly with your hands while watching his brown eyes froze on the screen. "Fans found you?" he asked, voice low and hoarse. His hand was scratching his arrow tattooed arm like always when he was nervous. "Yeah," you said slowly, knowing that he was worried again. Every night when he was away he had insisted that one of his family members or Andy stayed with you to make sure everything was fine with you and the baby. "Honey, it's fine, they didn't do anything," you reassured, looking at him and wishing that you could see him in person instead of the screen. His brown eyes were full of worry when he looked down, few silent tears rolling to his lap. "Sorry babe, I just worry a lot..," he mumbled silently, making your lip tremble. The baby inside you was moving, making you upset that Liam wasn't there to witness it. "I know, but you have no need to be, I'm fine! They asked permission to touch my belly and I said it's okay, they were really polite," you explained, knowing that he'd be upset if someone touched you without permission. Every time he was home, he was like a shield, making sure that you and the baby were okay and safe. Liam nodded sighing, giving you a small warm smile. "I just wish I'd be there to protect you," he said softly, making you tear a bit before looking at your incredible husband's brown eyes. "You protect me every day love, even when you're not here."

Zayn - "Boo, are you sure it's safe? Like really sure?" Zayn asked, looking at you with worried eyes when you slipped off your clothes, taking a bathrobe from your bed. You rolled your eyes at him, seeing how concerned he was sitting on your bed. He was flipping through few baby books, eyes scanning the pages. "Zayn, it's a bath, not acid, our baby will be just fine," you groaned, not letting your giggles fall out of your mouth. He was only in his boxers when he sat on the bed, legs tapping nervously when he tried to find something what would say should or shouldn't you not to take the bath. He raised his brown eyes, biting his lower lip when he scratched his neck nervously. He had been nervous few weeks now, after you had your first ultrasound where he had laid his eyes to your beautiful baby. "Are you sure?" he asked again, making you smile gently before sitting next to him, giving him a sweet kiss. "Zayn I'm sure. Now stop worrying, our baby is perfectly fine and safe. It won't harm either of us if I go to bath. Or put my own shoes on or lay a book against my belly..," you trailed on, remembering how he had been worried sick when he had seen you balancing a book over your belly. He chuckled a little, nodding his black haired head. He squeezed your hands with his owns gently, "I've been that bad, huh?" You laughed nodding before reaching to kiss him again. "You're going to be amazing father Zayn, stop worrying and come to bath with me and baby," you said silently, hugging him tightly. You could feel his smile against your neck when he nodded, reaching down to kiss your belly, "I'd love that, boo."

Harry - You hummed happily, letting the warm water wash over you in the steamy shower. You loved to shower, feeling how the water brushed over your big baby bump. Your belly button had popped out and you had few stretch marks, but both you and Harry were convinced that it was the most perfect baby belly of all times. In his mind it was pure perfection. A loud bang made you jump a bit when you peaked your head out of the shower to see Harry. His eyes were wide and panicked when he looked at you covering his mouth with a shaking hand. "What's wrong love?" you asked worried, seeing his whole body tremble when he leaned against the counter. He shook his curly haired head, relieved smile on his face, "You didn't answer so I was worried...Do you have any idea how long you have been in here?" He was having crossed feels with relief and angriness when he stripped down his clothes, pushing you back in the shower. "You scared me half to death," he mumbled, resting his bare,inked chest on your back, hands finding your belly, cupping it gently. You smiled happily, resting your small hands above his big ones, feeling how his thumbs stroke your wet skin. Your baby began to stir, noticing that something was happening. "See, even she thinks you worry about us way too much," you smiled, feeling how your daughter kicked against his palms, making him beam against your wet hair. "I love her over anything. I just want to keep her safe...and basically keeping you safe is all I can do about that now," he sighed, making your heart melt, "I can't wait to meet her, kitten... I can't wait until I can hold my little angel."
