Chapter 25
Ally's P.O.V
I had woken up to the sounds of Tia vomiting in the bathroom. Morning sickness had hit her badly. I couldn't believe I didn't realize sooner that she was pregnant.
"How are you feeling?" I asked her as she opened the bathroom door. Her face was pale and she had her hands on her stomach.
"Like shit." She said simply, sitting down on her bed. "That's the worst I've gotten it this week."
"Well if you need some cheering up, Lou has that thing planned for today remember?" I smiled. She perked up immediately.
"That's right!" she hurried over to her wardrobe, still holding her stomach.
"How about I find you something to wear while you rest?" I offered.
She hesitated and then nodded, and went to lie down on her bed. I rummaged through her wardrobe looking for something she could wear.
"I wonder where he's taking me…" she said. "Is it to early to call? He's a morning person sooo…"
I laughed at her. "Oh yeah that's right you'd know that." I laughed.
"Oh shut up." She laughed. "I'm gonna call him." She picked up her phone and dialed Louis' number.
"Put it on loud speaker." I said while looking through her wardrobe. She nodded and pressed a button so I could hear the phone ring.
"Hello?" said Louis. He didn't sound too tired which was good.
"Hey Lou." Said Tia with a huge smile.
"How are you feeling, babe?" he asked.
"Well I've been up all morning vomiting, so I guess I'm okay." She laughed.
"Aww! Well hopefully what I have planned today will cheer you up."
"Yeah." Said Tia. "So where do I meet you and everything?"
"I'll have a cab come and get you in about half an hour okay?"
"Is that all I have to do?" asked Tia.
"Yep." Said Louis. "I have everything planned out, with a little help from the boys."
We both laughed. "Can't wait." Said Tia.
"Me either." Said Louis. "Hey, listen I gotta go I'm in the middle of an intense game of Foosball with Niall."
I heard the sounds of something crashing and then the sound of Niall going, "Yesssssss!"
We both laughed. "Alright, I'll let you go so Nialler can finish kicking your ass." Laughed Tia.
"Pfft!" said Louis. "He wishes."
"See you soon, Lou." Laughed Tia.
"Bye Ti! Oh Nia-" and then the phone cut off.
She hung up the phone and we both laughed.
"I miss living so close to those boys." I said. "It's so weird not seeing them everyday." I was missing Liam like crazy at the moment, even though I had only just seen him yesterday.
"I know right." Said Tia. "Have you found me something to wear yet?"
"I think so…" I said. I held up the shirt and jeans I had pulled from her wardrobe. "This, with those pink heels you bought."
"Perfect." She smiled and then went into the bathroom to get changed.
While Tia was out with Louis for the day, I would be stuck in classes. It just so happened that Tia didn't have any classes today. Lucky her. Although I wouldn't really be doing much concentrating in class anyway. Recently, I had gotten into the habit of texting Liam during all of my classes to ease my boredom.
Tia came out of the bathroom with the clothes I had chosen for her on.
"What do you think?" she said turning around.
"You look great." I said. "And I'm borrowing those shoes."
She smiled. "Alright." She glanced at her watch. "Okay the cab will be here in like 5 minutes so I'll go now."
"Okay." I beamed up at her and then got up to hug her. "Have an amazing time."
She took a deep breath. "I will." She kissed me on the cheek and then hurried out of our room. I grabbed my books from my desk and made my way to class. I pulled out my phone and texted Liam.
Ready for an intense texting sesh? I have a full day of classes. Yay -_- xx
Tia's P.O.V
I hurried out the door and made my way to the steps in front of the university. And sure enough, there was a cab waiting for me. I hopped in and sat down on the back seat.
"Tia Anderson?" said the cab driver.
"That's me." I said while adjusting my clothes.
The cab driver turned around and pulled off his glasses and his hat.
"Harry what the hell are you doing here!" I was shocked to see him.
"I will be your cab driver for today ma'am." He said in a posh voice then he turned around and began driving. What in the world was Louis planning?
"How the hell did you get a cab?" I asked.
"Tia, my love." He laughed. "We have connections." He turned around and smiled.
"Watch where you're going!" I laughed as he almost crashed into the car in front.
"Oops." He smiled. "Oh by the way Ti, you have to put this on." He passed me a black scarf.
"Why?" I asked. "Where are we going? The snow?"
He laughed. "No, it's to put around your eyes, so you get a surprise."
"Do I have to?" I whined.
"Do you want it to be special?" he winked into the rearview mirror.
I sighed and wrapped the scarf around my eyes and tied it at the back.
After about 20 minutes of driving, Harry announced in a posh voice, "We're here madam."
I waited blind in the car as Harry made his way to my door. He opened it, took my hand and guided me to wherever we were going. Wherever it was, it was extremely peaceful. All you could hear was the sound of birds and trees swishing.
"So why is this such a big deal?" I asked Harry as he guided me further and further.
"Lou wanted it to be special." He replied simply. "Alright stop right here."
I stopped walking. "Can I take the scarf off now?" I laughed.
"I'll do that." Said a familiar voice. "Thanks Harold."
I felt Louis untie the back of the scarf and take it off my head. His face was inches from mine. He softly brushed his lips against mine and smiled.
It was an amazing feeling to see him smiling and happy again. After all, the last time I had seen him he had been an emotional wreck. We both had.
"Morning." He said, still staring into my eyes.
"Morning." I smiled.
He grabbed my hands. "So, what do you think?" he asked.
I was suddenly completely aware of my surroundings. We were in the backyard of the 1D mansion. It was massive. We were standing on a deck that overlooked a huge garden that covered almost the entire area of the backyard. There was some bush land behind us, and a tennis court and a huge swimming pool.
"Nice place." I laughed.
"I know right." Smiled Louis. "How are you feeling?" he asked pressing his hands against my stomach, giving me goose bumps as he did so.
I sighed. "Alright."
Louis took my hand and let me over to a table that had been set up on the porch. There were some beautiful flowers in the middle of the table with candles surrounding it. It was all extremely romantic. I didn't really understand. What was Louis trying to imply?
"I'm suddenly really hungry." Laughed Lou.
I nodded. "Me too actually."
Louis clapped his hands and out came Zayn dressed as a waiter. "How can I help you sir?" he said in a posh voice, just like the one Harry had used.
Louis turned to me. "Drinks?" I nodded.
"White wine please." I said. Louis and Zayn both shot me dirty looks. "What?" I asked.
"Tia you're pregnant." Laughed Louis.
"Remember?" said Zayn.
"Oh yeah…" That's right. I was pregnant. Which meant no more drinking for nine months.
"Two lemon squash's." said Louis. Zayn nodded and turned around. As he did so Louis smacked him on the ass.
"Lou?" I asked.
"Yeah?" he looked concerned.
"What's all this about?" I said. "The flowers, the romantic lunch, the waiters, everything."
Louis laughed. "My dear Tia." He winked, sending butterflies around my stomach. "I believe, this is what you would call a first date."
"Right." I said. "And um, when did I agree to go out with you?" I joked.
"Well I figured that we have already had a first kiss, we've already had a first dance, we've already seen each other naked… I would say we know each other pretty well." We both laughed. "Do you want me to properly ask you out?"
"Well, I guess that would be nice." I joked.
Louis got up from his chair and made his way over to me. He knelt down on one knee. "Louis what are you doing!" I yelled.
"Oh calm down I'm not proposing." He laughed. And then his face suddenly became serious. "Tiarna May Anderson." He said and I started laughing. It was hilarious to see him this serious. "Don't laugh this is supposed to be serious." He smiled. I calmed myself down and looked deep into his eyes, and then he continued. "When I first heard that we would be having a baby, I was incredibly angry. I couldn't believe we had let this happen. All I wanted was for the problem to go away… But then I remembered the night we spent together, and how special it was. How right it felt. I have woken up to myself, and I have realized, that I want to have this baby with you. I don't want to get married yet, we can wait as long as we want for that. All I know is that you deserve a first date. So this is your first date." What he was saying made me feel incredible. He really did care. "So, Tia… will you go out with me?" he said cheekily.
I smiled like a complete idiot. "Yes."
"Oh thank god." He laughed. Then he stood up and kissed me passionately.
"Ah-hem." We turned and say Zayn standing at the door with our drinks on a tray. Louis went back to his chair and sat down as Zayn placed the drinks on our table.
Then Liam walked out, also dressed as a waiter. He was trying his hardest to keep a serious face as he handed us menus.
"Chef Horan has a few specials on today." He said in a posh voice, like the other boys. As he read us out the specials, Niall came hurrying out wearing a white chef's outfit.
"What do they want to eat?" he asked, a little puffed out.
"We're still deciding Nialler." Laughed Louis.
"Oh…" he gave as all quick looks and then ran back inside, holding his chef's hat as he did so. We all laughed at him.
I decided that I would have the Caesar Salad, and Louis was going to have Lasagna.
Louis and I then continued to talk about what was going to happen with the baby.
"10 bucks it's a girl." He said, sipping at his lemon squash.
"I reckon it's gonna be a boy." I said. "I've just got this feeling."
"Mmm well, we shall see." He said. "We should book an appointment at the baby doctor. I'll talk to my mum cause she's had lots of kids. Which reminds me I still have to call my family."
I stopped dead. I had completely forgotten about my family in Australia. What was I going to tell them? 'Some guy in a famous boy band got me knocked up and we will be raising it in the UK'. As Louis kept talking, my mind drifted to what and how I was going to tell them. I hadn't talked to my dad for a week. He didn't even know that we were tight with One Direction now. I started to feel sick.
"Ti are you okay?" asked Louis. My mind came back to reality.
"Um, no not really, no." I said. My voice was shaky. I couldn't believe that I never thought of this!
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"My parents." I said. "They're gonna go ape shit on me."
"Oh crap, of course." He said sitting back in his chair. "I'm so sorry I didn't even think about that."
There was a knock on the wall. It was Liam. "Uh, sorry to interrupt." He started. "But I just happened to overhear what you were saying, and I'm having the same problem with Ally. But remember, Lou we're going to Australia in a couple of weeks for promotion. So I thought we could take a bit of time off while we're there to meet the girls' parents and you can drop the bombshell then."
"Thank god for you Liam." I smiled. "You're completely right."
"And that, is why we call you Daddy Direction." Winked Louis.
"Thanks Liam." I said.
"No worries." He smiled back. "Oh, and your food is here."
All four boys walked out with our food and placed it on our table, it all looked delicious.
"Niall." Said Louis, gesturing for him to come towards him. Lou whispered something in his ear and Niall nodded, leaving the room.
"What was that about?" I asked.
"You'll see." Smiled Lou.
Niall came back with a guitar and Louis stood up. "This is for you."
All five boys stood in a line as Niall started strumming the guitar, playing a song that I knew to be their soon to be released single 'Gotta Be You'. I was surprised when Louis started singing the verses, because I knew that it was Harry, Liam and Zayn that sung those bits.
Girl I see it in your eyes you're disappointed
Cause I'm the foolish one that you anointed
With your heart, I tore it apart
And girl what a mess I've made upon your innocence
No woman in the world deserves this
But hear I am asking you for one more chance
Out of all the boys' voice except for Harry's, Louis' voice was my favorite. It was scratchy and smooth. It was flawless.
Liam joined in to sing the higher harmony for the bridge and then all of the boys joined in for the chorus. The harmonies pierced my skin. I hadn't heard them sing live together before. It was hard to believe that these boys were the five, immature lads we had met.
It's gotta be you
Only you
It's got to be you
Only you
The last note made my eyes water. They were phenomenal. And it was all for me.
"That was incredible." I sighed clapping my hands together.
"Thank you." The boys all said together.
"We'll leave you two to enjoy your meal." Said Harry.
The four boys went back inside and Louis sat back down.
"Well this looks amazing." He said looking at his food.
"Louis." I said. He looked back up at me. "Thank you." I smiled and he smiled back, making my heart melt.
The rest of the day had been amazing. We had spent hours just talking and laughing. All of my troubles and worries were completely out of my mind. Louis and I were going to be parents. And we couldn't have been more thrilled.
