{Niall's POV}

"Do you have to go Nio?" Asha asks me as she clings onto my leg like a koala. The other boys have gone ahead. "Please stay! I want to be with you not Uncle Leo!" Asha whines. August first today. Plane to America is waiting for me but I have Asha on my leg.

I laugh and look up at Ella. She is smiling at us both. Nothing has happened with Ella since our zoo date. I've been getting super close with Asha and doing all sorts of things with her, going places, looking after her, all that stuff, but as for Ella, nothing.

"I'll be back at the end of the month I promise!" I bend down to Asha's height. "I'll be back before you know it Ashi." I hug her and kiss her forhead whilst the two year old gives be a nod of approval.

I stand up and look at Ella.

"Can I take you out on a child free date when I get back?" I ask her. She smiles and nods. "Cool!" I fist pump the air. "Can't wait!" I smirk and kiss her cheek. "See you soon!" I call and head down the ramp.

When I get to the corner Zayn is standing there looking at the plane door.

"Come on. You've been on plenty of planes before." I place my hand on his shoulder. I look at him nodding. This isn't about the plane, this is about Perrie.

"What if something happens?" Zayn asks.

"Zayn. We're a plane flight away. Perrie will be fine, the baby will be fine. Come on." I grab his arm and take him with me onto the plane.

{Jade's POV}

I throw my bag onto the spare bed and sit down on it. I decided to stay with Perrie whilst Harry and Zayn are away. Partly because I want to keep an eye on Perrie and make sure she doesn't fall down any more stairs but mainly because I get lonely since I've started dated Harry, I get lonely eaisly.

He's just such a great presence to have around and he's always making me laugh and making me feel warm inside. Even if he's just sitting in the next room, I feel safe and at peace.

"F**k!" I hear Perrie from her room. That's not a good word! I run into her bedroom and she's in the closet jumping around like an idiot.

"What's wrong?" I ask confused. She turns around and I crack up.

"They don't fit!" She whines. I look at her trying to zip her jeans up over her baby bump. I keep laughing and she steps out of the jeans. I hand her a pair of leggings because they will stretch and she puts them on.

"Right Perrie. We're going shopping," I announce. "Grab your bag and let's go!" I say before heading to the spare room to grab mine.

Once we're in my car I call Jesy. She picks up after three rings.

"What's up Jade?" Jesy answers. I hear lots of voices in the background.

"Where are you?" I ask her. I was actually going to ask that but I'm also interested about all the voices in the background.

"Essex. Back at home, Leigh came too." She replies. She's with her family! That's all the people.

"Okay. Bye." I press the end button and focus on the road. I indicate and turn into Louis and Eleanor's street. I pull up at their gate and hit the intercom.

"Hello?" Eleanor's voice asks.

"Hey El! It's Jade and Perrie. Do you want to come shopping?" I ask her.

"Yeah! I'll be there in a jiffy!" She replies and the intercom beeps. In less than a minute Eleanor is in the car and I pull out of the drive.

"Hey El!" Perrie smiles at the girl behind my seat. They have a conversations whilst a drive to Indie's place. We collect Indie and then continue to the hospital.

"Why are we here?" Indie asks confused.

"I'll be back in a minute." I reply and jump out. When I enter the emergency section I spot Ella right away. "Ella!" I call. She turns around and smiles.

"Hey Jade! What's up?" She asks. I explain to her, we walk around to a different part of the the hospital and in no time I'm setting up a booster seat in my car and placing Asha into it. I jump back into the driver's seat and look back at Asha in the middle seat of the back row.

"All good Ash?" I ask her. She holds her thumbs up and I nod, setting off the to shopping centre. He was in the hospital child care so I took her for Ella and will drop her home after Ella's shift finishes.

We arrive at the shopping centre and all get out of the car. I walk arm in arm with Indie and she has Eleanor on her other side. Perrie is running around ahead with Asha, who is riding on this trike thing she always has.

"Whose Asha's Dad?" Indie asks Eleanor and I. We shrug. None of us know but Ella I guess.

"Niall said he died before Ella found out she was pregnant." Eleanor mentions. I remember him telling us that. To me it sounds a little strange. I mean, I love Ella, she's really nice, but I think Asha's Dad is still alive.

"You don't think she as raped or something?" Indie asks. Oh no! Don't think that.

"Nah! Asha's to cute to come from a freaky rapist." Eleanor replies. We all crack up and agree with her. "They might've had a falling out or something though." Eleanor shrugs.

"Or she could be telling the truth." I add. We all nod and watch Asha trying to convince Perrie to ride her trike. I laugh as Perrie sits down on it and Asha sits in her lap. Perrie starts peddling on the trike and comes over.

"I'm going to break my knees by the end of this!" Perrie complains as she bashes her knes on the handle bars. I laugh and pat her shoulder.

"Remember to tell us if you feel pains that might be labor." Eleanor says. We all laugh and Perrie sighs. Riding a miniature kids trike whilst your four months pregnant. Only Perrie would do this I swear.
We get to Topshop and Perrie gets off the trike and Asha sits back on it. We head in and Eleanor and Indie go off to look at clothes whilst Perrie, Asha and I go in a different direction.

"So, what do you need?" I ask her. She shrugs and looks through the racks.

"I'm going to avoid jeans because they're a waste of time at the moment. They're just going to get smaller as I get bigger," Perrie explains. "I'm thinking leggings, Pom Pom shorts, skirts, dresses, jumpsuits, play suits, baggy tops and jumpers." Perrie gives me her list.

"Right. But not like Kim Kardashian pregnancy outfits." I say. Perrie immediately shakes her head.

"Definitely not! We're giving our child a normal life, well as close to normal as we can, so I'm having a normal pregnancy. Don't care if I look like a dag, as long as the baby is healthy and I'm healthy, that's all that matters." Perrie explains.

That's a fair enough perspective. I'd probably be the same. There's no need to look like a model. It's not like we intend on ever looking like them so why start because we get pregnant?

We shop and purchase quite a few things each before going to Nando's for lunch.

We order our food and then find a table. Asha sits between Perrie and Eleanor and Indie and I sit opposite her.

"Guess what Ash?" Eleanor says to Asha. Asha asks her 'what?'. "Hazza is bringing your Mummy and you over to New York to see Niall." Eleanor tells her. How adorable! He was going to bring me over too but we have studio recordings to do.

Asha starts jumping around and cheering.

"When do they go?" Indie asks.

"You and Eleanor are going too Inds." Perrie replies, giving her a new nickname. Indie and Eleanor look shocked. They didn't know that?

"Harry said you two are going as well. Him and Zayn know but the other three don't," I explain. "Plane leaves on the ninth of August." I tell them.

Eleanor, Indie and Asha all cheer and Perrie and I laugh as we watch them obsessing over seeing their boy friends.

"You'd think they're going to see One Direction or something." Perrie says. I crack up at her.

"I see what you did there!" I wink. She laughs and nods. I get it because girls obsess over seeing One Direction and they're going to see them but to them they're their boyfriends and um, child care person.

Our food comes and we all dig in. I laugh as I watch Perrie with chips coming out of her nose, that's until I choke when I see the person at the counter.

"What? Who is it?" Perrie removes the chips and they all look where I'm looking.

"Uncle Leo!" Asha yells at the guy. Great! Well done Asha! Leo turns around and smiles at Ella. He comes over and high fives her.

"Hey Ash! Where's Mummy?" He asks looking at Eleanor and Indie confused.

"At work. Nio's friends are looking after me," she explains. Leo hasn't seen Perrie or I yet. "This is Eleanor and Indie," she starts. They exchange greetings and Eleanor has a cheeky grin on her face. "And Perrie and Jade!" She points at us.

Leo's head immediately turns and looks at us. We both smile and he blinks a little to make sure he's not dreaming.

"Hello Leo. Nice to see you again." Perrie smiles at him.

"It's been a while." I add and smile at him. He looks at us awkwardly.

"Do you know?" He asks us. Do we know you cheated on me with Perrie? Hmmmm, YES.

"Oh yeah!" Perrie nods smiling at him.

"Right! Got to go! Bye Ash and others." He says hurriedly walking off. I watch him almost knock over a small child in his dash out the door.

Perrie, Eleanor, Indie and I crack up. Asha is giggling whilst still shovelling chips into her mouth. It's like mini Niall! She's spent too much time around him for sure, but it's cute he's doing this. I just think there's something more on Ella's behalf and I need to find out what.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's now been seven days since the boys went to America. Eleanor, Indie, Ella and Asha leave in two days and to be honest, I'm a little jealous. I would love to see Harry again. Kiss him, hug him, feel warm and safe around him.

I stare blankly at the ceiling. The room is pitch black and I cannot sleep. Too many thoughts of Harry and yesterday are flashing through my mind. Yesterday... urgh.

(Flashback)

"Mama told me not to waste my life!" Perrie and Leigh chant as we walk down the hall, lined with pictures of all the artists Syco has signed. I see the area with One Direction coming up. When we get there I look at all the group photos of them throughout the years. Then there's a solo photo of Harry. It's below one of Zayn and on the right of Harry's is my solo picture- starting off the Little Mix zone.

I laugh a little at how my picture is next to Harry's and Perrie's is above mine, next to Zayn's.

"Cute hey?" I hear a familiar voice behind me. "You and curly freak." I turn around to face Max George.

"What do you want?" I spit at the jerk from The Wanted. The other girls have disappeared, probably into our recording room,

"Nothing. I was just watching you thinking about your asshole of a boyfriend," Max says. "Has he told you the truth?" Max asks.

"About what?" I ask curious. Harry and I know everything about each other.

"He hasn't told you?" Max asks amazed. He lets out a chuckle.

"Jade!" I hear Perrie's voice. She comes into the hall. "Piss off Max!" Perrie hisses at him.
"Bye ladies. Good luck Jade." He walks off and I follow Perrie into the recording room.

(End Flashback)

What was Max talking about? What is Harry hiding? I look at my phone buzz on the bedside table. I pick it up and look at the time. 2:06am. New message from Hazza <3.

I open my phone and look at the message.

From Hazza <3: There's this girl and she kinda has my heart xx

Attached to the message is a photo of me doing a heart shape with my hands. I feel my cheeks flush red and I message him back kisses.

From Hazza <3: Why you awake? It's two the morning! Xx

To Hazza <3: Can't sleep xxx thinking of you xxx

From Hazza <3: Well, close your eyes and count Niall's jumping over hamburgers xx

I laugh at that text.

To Hazza <3: Okay. I love you xxx

From Hazza <3: love you too Jadey! Nanite xxx

I lock my phone and place it back on the beside table before relaxing back onto my bed. Just as I close my eyes I get awoken again.

"Jade!" I hear Perrie screech. I sit up straight in bed and throw the covers off me. That didn't sound like a joking sort of yell. It sounded like a terrified yell. I run out the open bedroom door and burst int through Perrie's open door.

I flick on the light and she's sitting up in bed, clutching her abdomen, pain spread across her face.

"Pezz what's wrong?" I ask her running over to the bed. She opens her mouth and the last thing I expect comes out of it...

"I'm bleeding."
