Because Of You (Sequel to Love & Lies)

Chapter 4: Needing You

Zayn's POV

Earlier this morning, we'd gotten a call from Katherine, Simon's assistant. He'd wanted is all to come in, all but Harry.

We drove at a steady pace to Syco's HQ where we'd be meeting with him.

"What do you think it's about?" Liam asked.

"Well genius, he did ask all of us except Harry it come so I'm pretty sure it's about Harry." Louis said
I rolled my eyes. Leave it up to Lou to unleash the sass at the wrong times.

Louis pulled into the complex briskly, and made another sharp turn into a parking spot.

"Jesus Louis, if you want to go solo, all you have to do is tell us. We do have some purpose in life." Niall said concerning Louis's driving.

"Niall you don't even have your license so fuck you." He replied, smirking.

Just a Niall was about to reply, Liam stepped in.

"Okay boys relax. We have to be there on time before Simon a starts throwing a fit." Liam said.

"Yeah let's go." I say, making Niall walk in front of me.

We finally reach the floor for Syco Records and we go over to the PA desk to check in.

"Hey Katherine. We're here for our meeting with Uncle Si." Niall says, winking at her.

I laugh quietly. Katherine and Niall had this flirt fit thing going on for quite a while now.

Katherine was tall and a brunette, her hair always curled into perfect ringlets. She always wore business attire like dresses and pants suits. Not to mention she wore the highest of heels at all times. She was about 24 at the most.

Katherine smiled. "Hey lads. I'll call him and tell him you're here. You can have a seat."

I couldn't help but laugh. Niall would always flirt with Katherine while she would pretend that she didn't notice. It absolutely killed Niall.

Niall groans as we walk over to the sofa set. "Why does she always do that?"

"Because it's funny." Louis said, about to put his feet up on the coffee table.

Katherine walked over and Louis quickly dropped his feet.

"Boys he's in his office. Go right in." She says, winking at Niall as she walks away.

"Yes!" Niall said, fist pumping the air.

Liam knocks at Simons door.

"Come in lads." He calls in response.

We all go in and take a seat as Simon nods at us.

"Do you lads have an idea on why we're here?" He asks.

"It's obviously about Harry since he isn't here." Liam said, playing with a paper clip he picked off of Simon's desk

"Yes, you're right, This meeting is about Harry." Simon confirmed, eyeing us intently.

We all looked at one another, all thinking the same thing.

"So what do we have to do?" Louis asked.

Simon sighed. "He needs that girl back."

I couldn't help but smile. Uncle Simon a matchmaker!

I turned to see the other boys smiling too. Ah, great minds think alike.

"Do any of you know where she's at?" Simon asks.

"I believe she's in New York." I say, recalling my last conversation with Jenny.

"Okay that's perfect." He says, writing something down in his book.

"So we go to New York?" I ask him.

"Yes. It's settled. Next week when you boys leave to New York, find Janine and get her to see Harry." he said with a half-smile.

We all nodded getting up to leave the room.

"And boys?" Simon called.

We all turned looking over our shoulders.

"Don't shut him out. He needs you all right now. Becoming a dad at eighteen could stress a lad out." he said smiling.

"Of course Uncle Si. We'll talk to you soon." Liam said with a smile.

We walked out to the car in silence, lost in our own thoughts.

Janine's POV

"Do you see that?" the technician asked me. "That's the heart beat."

I smiled as a tear rolled down my cheek. If only Harry was here to see this.

"He's beautiful." I say, smiling.

The technician turned to me. "You think it's a boy?" she asked, smiling.

I never really thought of it like that.

"No, not really. I honestly don't know what it is. I was just generalising it." I say.

"Oh. Well your only 12 weeks along, we'll be able to tell you the gender when you get into your second trimester." she smiled.

"Thank you." I say, getting up and pulling my shirt down.

I picked up my purse and was about to walk out when she stopped me.

"Don't forget the sonogram pictures, Ms. Shoter." she said, handing them to me.

I smiled as I took them from her.

"Thanks." I say.

"Sweetie, if you don't mind, could I ask you a rather personal question?" she asked.

I smile. "Sure."

"Where's your baby's father?"

My smile dropped. I felt tears come to eyes, threatening to spill.

"H-He's in London. He has his own mind of things." I say.

"Oh. I'm sorry hun. Good luck." she said.

I gave her a small smile, leaving the room not bothering to say goodbye to the receptionist.

I needed him. I needed Harry.

**********************

Awwww. She needs Harry. I needed Harry. :( But my needs aren't important in this story so ignore. Lol. Are you guys excited to know the gender of the baby? And about Janine and Harry meeting? I know I am.
