(a month later; december 5, 2017) lia's pov: i get up feeling nauseous. i run to my toilet and throw up in there. its been happening for the past few weeks now. i shake the thought out of my head. i cant be pregnant. i get up brush my teeth. then i realize i missed my period. oh no.

"hi mija" my mom says. i eat breakfast quietly and run up the stairs to get my stuff. zayn would be here any second. "i love you guys!" i yelled out and slammed the front door shut. i entered zayn's car. i look at the clock in the car its 7:10 we have time.
"uhm babe drive to the pharmacy please" i said buckling up. "okay" he says and starts to drive. "okay babe stay right here i will be right back" i told him and didn't let him get a sentence out cause i slammed the door and ran to pharmacy.
i immediately go to the pregnancy tests and look at them. i grab three of them but different brands. i walk up to the register and she looks at me weirdly. "mistake?" she asks. "if there is a baby i wouldnt think of it as a mistake" i retorted and she looks scared. i pay grab my stuff and head back to the car.
"everything okay babe?" zayn asks me. i smile. "yeah" i say. he looks at me like he doesn't believe me and drives to school. "okay bye babe!" i yell out kissing his cheek quickly ready to run to the restrooms. "wait wait wait" zayn says pulling me back.
i look up at his eyes and he leans down to kiss me but he pulls out one pregnancy test from the hoodie pocket. his eyes widened. "what?" he asks. "i know it sounds crazy but im scared and.." i say but then he hugs me. "its okay we can get through it together" he says. i start crying. he also starts crying.
"okay we'll both ditch first period. you go take the tests in the bathroom and we'll meet under the bleachers okay?" zayn tells me. i nod and we head our separate ways not without giving a each other a kiss. "dont look at them please. i wanna see them together" zayn tells me. "okay" i said smiling.
~time skip~
i go and meet zayn under the bleachers. "did you look at them?" he asks anxiously. "no" i said giggling. "okay lets look then" he says. i pull them out facing down. zayn grabs the first one. i put the other two in my pocket. we hold the test together and we count to three.
we flip it over. positive.
"positive" zayn and i say together. i start to cry. "what will my mom and dad think" i say. "its gonna be okay" zayn tells me and hugs me. "i have to tell lucas and mateo" i said sniffling. he nods. he just whispers 'its gonna be okay' over and over again.
~time skip; after school~
zayn, mateo, lucas, and i decided to ditch our sports practice today. we drove home. my dad isnt home yet. its just mom and noah. "hey kiddos!" my mom yells. "hi mami" i said kissing her cheek and then going to kiss noah's head. lucas and mateo go to my room to wait there. "okay well zayn and i will be in my room okay mami" i tell her. she nods her head.
i walk into my room shutting it and locking it. "what is important little sister?" mateo asks. "okay please dont freak out please both of you" i plead. "you're pregnant?" lucas and mateo question in unison. "what the actual fuck" i said out loud. "how did you know?" i question. "what else does the 'dont freak out mean'" lucas says in a duh tone.
"im scared" i said. "its gonna be okay mija" mateo says pulling me into both of their arms. "were gonna figure it out. were gonna figure out how to tell mami and papi" lucas says. "its gonna be okay" mateo says repeatedly.
~time skip to dinner~
we sat around the dinner table. our papi just got home from work. zayn joined us for dinner. we all decided to tell them after dinner. i didnt really eat as the smell gave me a sick feeling.
"no tienes hambre mija?" my dad asks me. "en realidad no papi" i said. "que pasa mija? estas bien?" my mom asks me. "mami solo está cansada" mateo says. lucas nods. zayn doesn't understand what were saying. he looks at me confused.
"okay mami and papi we have something to tell you" i announce during dinner not after like we planned. lucas and mateo shoot me weird looks. "mami and papi" i start taking a deep breath. i start to shake with fear. "u-uhm-" i start but stopped. i stand up to try to make it feel better. it doesnt.
"u-uhm i-im-" i try to get it out but i cant. my mom stands up and makes her way across the table to me. "m-mami" i say breaking down. she takes me into her arms. i start crying and sob heavily in her shoulder. "whats wrong mija" she says.
i tear my head off her shoulder and get myself together. "okay" i state. everyone's eyes on me. lucas, mateo, and zayn give me comforting eyes. i take a deep breath and look at noah, papi, and mami. they all look confused.
"u-uhm i-im p-pr-" the sentence cant get out of my mouth. "im pregnant" i say without stuttering. mom looks at mateo who looks around the room. dad look at lucas who is also looking around the room. zayn stays quiet with his head down playing with his food.
"mija" my dad says to get my attention. he gets up. i start to get scared so i back up. he embraces me in his arms. i start to cry. "hey mija its gonna be okay were gonna be here to provide for you okay?" my dad tells me. "thank you papi" i say whimpering. he kisses my forehead and continues to hug me.
"zayn" my mom says. zayn looks up and he looks scared. she sits down. "when i was lia's age i got pregnant with the twins in my junior year while just like you luis was a senior" my mami states. "my mom and dad weren't there for me. they kicked me out and luis' family took me in." she continues. "i haven't been in contact with my parents for years" she says and its true. "and thats not what were gonna do with lia because we love her too much to do that to her" she says. "so youre gonna stay with her?" she asks zayn. "yes i am because she is my girlfriend and i love her way too much to walk out of the kids life even if he/she isnt born yet" zayn says tears forming in his eyes.
"how am i gonna tell my mom and dad" zayns says breaking down. "hey babe its gonna be okay" i tell him hugging him from behind him. he holds my arms and he gives them little kisses. i kiss his cheek and he starts to calm down. "it doesnt have to be now. it doesnt have to be tomorrow. it doesnt have to be the day after tomorrow. but when you're ready zayn. tell them. we'll be there to support you" mateo states. "thank you honestly. its so good to have you guys in my life. i love you guys as if we were family" zayn says. "mijo you are our family" my mom says. zayn smiles.
"im gonna be a grandpa" my dad states. "cant believe you making us grandparents at 35 and 36" my mom says. i laugh. "im gonna be an uncle!" mateo, lucas, and noah say together. we look at them weirdly. "babe we sure we had twins and not triplets?" my mom asks dad. "we had twins" he comfirms. mom nods and we do a family hug.
