"So how many weeks are ya' now?" Zayn asked stuffing his face with chips.

"Twenty five weeks , twenty six in three days! Gone fast to be honest." Louis shrugged.

"You look so small though... I remember Gee really popped at this point." Zayn frowned.

"Yeah .. the midwife said it's normal. Happens in almost seventy percent of pregnancies, she's  laying more towards my back. Most likely means she'll be back to back when she's born which makes things a little harder on me during labour but she's healthy."

"Harder in what way?"

"Like pain, I'll be crippled with back ache most likely and it prolongs labour in some cases ... I'm shittin' one to be fair to ya' mate." Louis admitted.

"Because giving birth wasn't scary enough before you knew?" Zayn chuckled.

"It was, trust me after watching from the sidelines and actually delivering a few you get put off for life. But hey ho, things change."

"So you have a birth plan and shit?"

"Yep! I'm terrified of needles and hospitals aren't really my thing after working around one for so long .. so I want a home birth." Louis explained.

"Are you insane?!" The younger of the two gasped , looking at his best friend as though he had grown an extra head.

"Nope, I want as many people as I can around me to support me and I can't have that in a hospital."

"Who are you wanting exactly?!"

"Haz , my mum , Lottie ....and you." He shrugged casually.

"Me? As in.. me."

"Who else would 'me' be dickhead."

Zayn was shocked to say the least. He didn't think Louis would want to share such an intimate moment with anyone but his family and Harry.
"You're sure?"

"Yes.. Z, you helped me through one of the toughest years of my life mate. There is no one else in the world that I'd want there more than you. Harry already agreed so you don't need to worry about that. I'm not askin' ya' to look down the business end lad just to hold me hand and keep me sane."

"Well then... I'd be honoured bro." Zayn snorted , lifting his coffee to knock against Louis' tea.
"Cheers to bein' ya birthing partner."

"You're such a weirdo." Louis snorted in amusement.

"Shut it Tommo! So explain how all of it works then?"

"Erm I go into labour , you come over , hold my hand .. watch me shit out a baby."

"Ha ha very funny... ah' meant with like the midwife n' stuff.. do you like pick one? I remember Gigi had two different ones during her labour with Zara."

"Oh right yeah, my mum is delivering her. Don't want anyone else really."

"That's cute , bet she was buzzing when ya' asked her mate." Zayn smiled .

"I haven't asked her yet... not that she'll say no. I just wanted to do it in a special way." Louis informed.

"Oh like you just asked me in a special way?!" Zayn gasped in mock offence.

"Oh hush up Malik." Louis snorted.
"It's completely different... like I'm askin' her to deliver her grandchild. It's going to be a huge deal for her , she's not only creating a bond with Alaïa. She's also watching me in pain without anyway of helping me , no drugs, nothing."

"Yeah I suppose ya' right... I think she'll cry a bit ya' know mate."

"Oh she will , there isn't a single doubt in my mind." The pregnant lad laughed.
"It'll be cute though."
