hey it's been a while!

also I LOVE JANE THE VIRGIN AHHH

"Nope," Harry says, snatching the football out of Louis' hands as soon as he picks it up. Louis whines, making grabby hands toward it. Harry smiles fondly, but continues to shake his head.

"I just wanted to dribble it!" Louis moans. Harry just shakes his head, kissing Louis' cheek.

"Can't play football when you've got one under your shirt!" Harry teases, poking Louis' belly and making Louis whine again. He pouts and crosses his hands over his belly as Harry kisses his cheek.

"I hate you," Louis huffs, but he smiles when Harry winks at him. The doorbell rings, and Harry immediately springs up to answer it. Like Louis would have gone through the trouble of waddling all the way to the door. Ha.

"Hi, Pez!" Harry greets. Perrie walks in with a balloon and a present, sitting it down in the corner of the lounge just as Louis waddles in.

"What's this?" He asks confusedly. Perrie turns around and throws her hands in the air with a large smile.

"Surprise baby shower!" She exclaims, and Louis' eyes widen. He wasn't prepared. Shit, how does he handle this?

"I'm not cleaning anything!" Is the first thing he blurts out. Harry and Perrie burst out laughing, Perrie shaking her head and sitting Louis down.

"You don't clean anything, love," She assures, patting the top of his head. "You just sit there and be pregnant." That sounds pretty good to Louis. He turns on the Telly, tuning out all the fuss going on behind him.

"Louis, love, you've got to socialise with everyone," Harry points out, sitting down on the arm of the chair Louis was sitting in. Louis sighs puts his phone down, glancing up at Harry.

"I thought I could just sit here and be pregnant," He grumbled, letting Harry pull him up into a standing position. He grunts and yanks down the black Adidas jumper he's wearing. He hates this. He hates being too fat to wear any of his normal clothes.

"C'mon, all these people came here for you," Harry points out, kissing Louis' cheek sweetly. Louis huffs and looks around at all the people, pouting a bit. He knows all these people, they're all friends and family, but he hates talking to people.

Of course Lottie rushes over to him, kissing his cheek and giving him a hug. "Lou, it's been ages! How are you?"

Louis smiles. He doesn't mind talking if it means talking to Lottie. "I'm fine," He replies, smiling widely. "Tired and a little achy, but fine."

Lottie smiles. "I think it's really nice that you're doing this," She admits. "You know Harry wants a baby more than anything. I've never seen him happier."

Louis smiles wider, looking over to where Harry is gushing about something to Lou. "I've wanted it too, Lots. For the longest time. I'm happy to give it to him." Louis smiles and subconsciously puts a hand on the bottom of his stomach.

"How're you holding up, then?" She asks. "From Harry's constant Instagram updates it seems like you're doing well. He never stops taking pictures of you. I haven't seen you in weeks and I'm sick of your face."

Louis laughs, looking down at his belly. "I'm okay. He's cute, yeah? You're right, actually. Haven't seen him this happy since I proposed."

Doris toddles over to Louis, holding her arms out toward humans shouting "Lou!" Lottie lifts her up and hands her to Louis, who's smiling as soon as Doris is in his arms.

"My little baby girl," Louis mumbles before kissing Doris' cheek. He pauses before looking over to Lottie and smiling. "Guess I have a new little baby girl now, yeah?"

"It's a girl?!" Lottie exclaims. Louis frowns. He wasn't supposed to tell anyone yet. He nods, biting his lip.

"Don't tell anyone though, okay? I wasn't supposed to tell anyone yet," He admits, making Lottie laugh.

"I won't," She assures. Louis smiles and nods, kissing Doris' cheek again.

"What is this?" Louis asks confusedly, pulling something out of a bag from Perrie. Everyone bursts out laughing, making Louis' cheeks turn a dark pink. "What? What's so funny?" He pouts a bit, holding the thing up and staring at it.

"Louis, love," Harry manages through his giggles. "That's a breast pump."

Louis pales before dropping the thing on the carpet, everyone high-fiving Perrie as Louis covers his reddened face with his hands. "Agh, Perrie!" He whines through his fingers, leaning back in his chair and sighing. "Why do I need this?!"

"To feed your baby!" Jesy cackles, both from Louis' expression and his cluelessness. Louis shudders and gently kicks the breast pump away before grabbing another gift bag and handing it to Harry.

"Why don't you open this one, Haz," He suggests, dropping the bag in Harry's laugh. Harry's face is red from laughing, eyes watering as Louis scowls. He feels so stupid.

Harry pulls out the tissue paper before pulling out a tiny baby sized Rovers uniform from Jade. "Lou, look at this!" He coos, handing it to Louis. Louis takes the tiny clothes from him with a smile, biting his lip.

"Thanks, Jade," He says softly, trying his absolute hardest not to cry. Jade smiles, proud of herself. Louis hands Harry the little uniform to fold as he grabs another gift bag. He opens the bag to find a tiny batman baby grow, making him laugh. He doesn't even have to look at the name tag to see who it's from. "Hey, Ziam pulled through."

"We found it in the boy's section of Babies R' Us," Zayn admits. "But we figured a boy or a girl could wear it."

"You never told us the gender!" Gemma points out, raising her eyebrows. Louis smirks and looks over to Harry. They had a plan for this.

"Ernie, come here!" Louis coaxes, watching as Ernie runs toward him. He pulls Ernie up into his lap and whispers something in his ear.

"'S a girl!" Ernie shouts as loud as he can, and everyone cheers. Louis claps for Ernie as Harry leans up and takes him from Louis, kissing the little lad's cheek and making him giggle.

"I can still be the big spoon!" Louis argues, crossing his arms over his tummy. Harry smiles fondly, changing into some pink pyjamas he insisted on buying, though they were in the woman's section. Harry adores them, Louis adores Harry in them.

"Okay, love," Harry giggles, laying down in the bed. Louis lays down next to him, wrapping an arm around Harry's waist. He can only get so close to Harry with his tummy, and this is when he realises that this won't work out.

"Harry?" Louis asks softly, almost embarrassed as Harry turns around and looks at him. "Can I be the little spoon?"

Harry smiles and nods, making Louis smile. He turns around and lays on his side, feeling Harry scoot closer to him. "Where do I put my hands?" Harry whispers, making Louis let out a laugh. It was then that he realised Harry had never been the big spoon. He reaches behind him and grabs Harry's hand, putting it on his stomach and scooting backwards a bit so his back is against Harry's chest.

"Comfy?" Louis asks, and Harry nods. "Good. Love you, baby."

"Love you too," Harry mumbles sleepily, kissing the back of Louis' neck.
