*at Niall's flat*

“That's alright. Let it out, love. ” Louis rubbed Niall's back as the blonde was hunched over the toilet seat heaving his insides out.

Niall gripped his baby bump as he threw up once more, then leaned back against the cold tile wall, tears brimming in his eyes.

Louis also didn't ask him to stand straight away, as he knew that his friend needed some time to pull himself together.

“You Okay now?” Louis asked softly as he rubbed Niall's baby bump.

Niall slowly nodded and Louis helped him stand up and walk towards the sink.

Niall brushed his teeth, still leaning on Louis a little for support.

Once Niall was done, Louis helped him out of the bathroom and into the lounge.

“Do you want me to get you something? Tea maybe?” Louis asked softly.

Niall nodded wordlessly and Louis walked into the kitchen.

Niall had been under a lot of stress lately.

Dealing with your first pregnancy alone is not an easy thing. Secondly, what happened with Liam had been disturbing him bad.

It was the worst rejection he had ever gotten from anyone.

Niall had a storm of mixed emotions going inside his head right now. Not only was he sad, but he was also angry, sad, frustrated, heartbroken and every other depressing emotion you could think of.

Louis had been trying to get him calm down. Being this worked up during your pregnancy is not good at all. He was really worried for his friend, he just wanted to take all the pain away.

Louis returned shortly after with two mugs of tea and handed one to Niall.

“After you drink this tea, I'll make you some soup, okay?” Louis offered.

“Soup?” Niall scrunched up his nose.

Louis smiled softly, “You've been throwing up everything you eat. You need something that's easily digest able.”

Niall just nodded and continued drinking his tea while mindlessly rubbing his bump.

“Niall....... I've been thinking...” Louis started softly.

“Hmm” Niall hummed in response.

Louis wasn't quite sure how to approach Niall on this matter. He didn't know how Niall would react to this.

“Maybe...... Maybe you should .........like, um.... date someone?”

Niall looked at him with a raised eyebrow, “I honestly thought you were smarter than this Lou.”

“Huh?” Louis asked, confused.

“Do you really think I need the pressure of dating someone right now?”

“It doesn't have to be pressure Niall, you would have someone to care for you and love you!” Louis argued.

“Yeah right, who would do that when I'm carrying a child that's not theirs?” Niall scoffed.

“Someone who's not selfish.” Louis grumbled.

Niall looked at him with a raised eyebrow that made Louis question his statement.

“Sorry.” Louis muttered.

“Nah... You're right. Liam is a selfish bitch.” Niall gave him a lazy smile.

“A selfish bitch who I'm in love with.”

Louis' chuckles halted as he looked at Niall, surprised.

“What?” he asked to make sure he had heard his friend correct.

“You heard me..... I don't even know why. That guy has done nothing good to me.... Well except for giving me this lovely baby.” He said with a frown that turned into a smile when he mentioned his baby.

“Nialler...... You sure you're in love with him?” Louis frowned.

“Yeah I'm sure Lou.”

Louis stayed quiet, not sure what to say.

“This isn't helping my situation, is it?” Niall chuckled halfheartedly.

Louis sighed as he moved closer to Niall and hugged him sideways.

“Things will get better..... You'll see.” Louis assured.

“We'll both see.” Niall gave him a sideways smile.

A small smile ghosted over Louis' lips as Niall cuddled into him and both the friends fell asleep cuddled on the couch.

*they aren't exactly sleeping cuddled on the couch, but they're still sleeping.*

It was a few minutes later they woke up when Louis' phone started ringing.

He picked it up with his eyes half closed;

“Hello?” he mumbled sleepily.

“Daddy!” came an excited yell.

“Jah?” Louis was confused.

c'mon let me talk to Daddy.”
Came a muffled sound from the background.

“Hey baby.”

“Harry?”

“Who else did you leave your kids with?”

Louis rolled his eyes fondly.
“What's up?”

“Well I called to ask that you should probably come over now. We'll have diner together.”

“But I'm with Niall and he's not well.”

“I would have asked Niall to join but Liam's here too so I don't think that's a good idea.”

“Okay then I'll ask Niall if he'll be okay on his own.”

“Of course he will be okay babe. He's not a kid.”

“Yeah whatever smartass.”

“Okay then, Bye. Love you.”

“Love you too.” Louis smiled fondly.

“So you guys confessed your feelings for one another now. What next? You gonna ride unicorns on rainbows now?” Niall said with a smirk.

Louis was startled firstly, heating the sudden sound but then smiled and bit his lip.

“I just really love him.”

Niall shook his head with a smile on his face.

“Hey, listen. Harry asked me to come for diner and he said he would have invited you too but Liam's also there so it's not really a good idea.” Louis told him.

“Yeah he's right. You go.” Niall answered.

“But I don't really wanna leave you alone.” Louis sighed.

“I'll be okay Lou. Go have fun.”
Niall assurer him.

“You sure?” Louis confirmed.

“Yes I'm sure Lou. I was actually thinking about driving to Ed's. It's been a while since I hung out with him.”

“Okay then.” Louis smiled and kissed him on the forehead as he got up and left.

It didn't take him long to reach Harry's and by the time he got there, everyone was already at the table.

“He baby.” Harry said as he stood and pecked Louis' lips.

“Hey.” Louis smiled back.

He then kissed Aiden and Elijah's foreheads and sat down to eat, mumbling a small hello to Liam.

After dinner was when Liam approached the matter with Louis.

“Listen Louis. I'm sorry about what I said the other week. I was just surprised and didn't know how to react.”

“I know you were surprised Liam. Maybe  a little angry too, but talking about the abortion was too much.”

“I know.” Liam sighed. “And you have no idea how bad I feel about that. I'm just sorry. I didn't know what else to say.”

“Do you forgive me?” Liam continued.

Louis sighed.“ Yeah..... I forgive you Liam, but you should know that I'm not the one you should be apologizing to.”

Liam smiled.“Thank you. And yes I know, I'll apologize to him too.”

Louis smiled and nodded in response.

“So.......... How is he and the baby doing?” Liam asked as he bit his lower lip.

“He's doing okay. A bit stressed but okay.” Louis answered.

Before Liam could question him further a man entered the room.

“Hey boss, the shipment is here and I-” the man stopped mid sentence as he took in his surroundings.

“Oh sorry. I didn't know you had company over. Should I come back later?” The man asked.

“Uh....” Liam began, nervously glancing at Louis.

Before he could answer, Harry appeared and he looked surprised to say the least.

“Simon? What are you doing here?” He asked.

“Well boss, I was here to hand over the shipment.....” He trailed off looking at Louis and it was then that Harry noticed the brown package in his hand.

He immediately panicked;
“Uh yeah...... The sh-shipment. Um..... You uh....”

It was then that Louis intervened;
“You're calling him boss. Do you also work with Harry's uncle?” he asked, oblivious to the situation.

“Harry's Uncle?” Simon asked confused.

“Uh yeah...... He works with my uncle too.” Harry answered for him. “Simon this is my boyfriend, Louis.” Harry introduced them hoping that Simon would get the hint.

“Oh uh hey.” Simon said as he shook Louis' hand.“I'm Simon. Simon Cowell.”

Simon got the hint as he moved the package behind his back.
“subtle Simon, very subtle.”
Harry thought.

Louis shook the man's hand who appeared to be in his fifties.

“Louis Tomlinson.” Louis smiled back.

Harry lead Simon out of the room.

This all appeared very suspicious to Louis and he was going to ask Harry about this.
