I Don't Wanna Break

Name

Jesse's POV

The wind stings as it blows across my skin. It's coldness seeping into every pore and crevice. Leafs crunch beneath my feet, the final sign that fall has gone and winter has arrived.

I slowly turn the door knob walk into the warm and inviting house. Giggles float from the living room and Niall's laugh follows.

I make my way to the noises and stop when I see the woman with bulging stomach sitting on the sofa.

Suddenly the breath is knocked out of me and my chest tightens. I thought she was beautiful before but it seems I'm wrong.

I've never seen her look more alive then she does now. Her smile lights up her entire face. Her cheeks glow red from laughter. Her hands rest on her abdomen, finger intertwined with her lovers. This is her in her most stunning form.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" I ask.

They snap their heads towards me. Lana's mouth hangs open in awe and Niall has a grin a mile wide.

"It's a baby girl." Lana breathes. She looks down at her bulge and smiles warmly.

Niall removes his hands from her and walks to me. His arms wrap around me and he crushes me into a hug.

"Thank so much." he whispers.

Thank you? What is he thanking me for?

"For being there for her." He continues. "I know you probably hate me for coming back but is still want to thank you for giving her something to be happy about when I wasn't there."

He steps back from me with tears in his eyes. I hated this man just hours ago but now that I've seen how she is with him, now that I've seen this true side of him, I couldn't be more happy with everything that's happened. Everything turned out for the better.

Lana holds her hand out to me and I I take it gingerly. She pulls herself up from the couch and stands before me.

Scars still mark her arms. Shiny and smooth. But to us they are more. These are her battle scars. And I hope one day she will look back at those days and smile. Because this is proof she is strong and that she can overcome her darkest demons. And she will no longer need someone to tell her that. It's forever tattooed on her skin as her reminder.

"You look stunning." I say.

"Thanks." She smiles.

I put my hands up to her stomach. "A baby girl?"

She nods.

"How far along are you?"

"Eight months. I'm due December 18."

"Picked out any names?"

Her smile grows. "I'm thinking either Lenzie or Mckenna."

"Lana and Mckenzie combined?"

She nods excitedly.

"Why not both?" I question.

She looks up at me with confusion.

"Lenzie McKenna Horan."

Her eyes widen and she looks at Niall.

"I think it's perfect." Niall says.

Lana's hands join mine on her belly. "Lenzie McKenna Horan it is then."
