Chapter Twenty- Six: Lunch and Tumble

{Jade's POV}


It's six weeks since we went on the X Factor. Another six weeks for me to fall even more in love with Harry. It's everything about him. His eyes, his smile, the slow and sexy way he speaks, with the pauses and mumbling. His personality. I just cannot believe he's so perfect.


Jesy and Jordan are still trying for a baby but Jordan goes on tour tomorrow so that will be held off for a while. Eleanor and Louis are looking at adopting another Border Collie called Coco so Barnabe could have a friend. Liam and Indie's love is getting stronger. Leigh is stil writing songs about how Aden is a big dick. Niall and I still catch up a lot to talk about Harry and Ella. Yes, he's still got a giant crush on Ella. As for Zayn and Perrie, they're more than happy and still to this day, the boys, the girls, Eleanor, Jordan, Indie, Simon and Tulisa are the only ones who know about Perrie being pregnant. She is doing a really good job at hiding her bump, but only yesterday when we all caught up, she was wearing a flowy top and her bump stood out. It's actually really cute but now noticeable. Four months pregnant and maybe ten- twelve centimetres out. 


I walk into Harry's house and hear everyone upstairs. Harry's house is weird. You walk into the middle floor and there's the backyard, a games room, music room, another lounge and three bedrooms along with a bathroom. Downstairs there are more bedrooms and a bathroom. Upstairs is the lounge room, dining room, kitchen and Harry's bedroom. 


I go step by step up the wooden stairs, along the little wooden landing and then up the final bit to the living area. 


"Hello Jade!" Niall smiles before a packet of biscuts hit me in the side of the head. I open them and start eating them whilst sitting down next to Perrie who is at the dining room table playing piano tiles on her phone. 


"That game is four years old or something," I mention. Perrie laughs and locks her phone. She takes one of my bisucuits and eats it. "Morning sickness gone?" I ask. She nods and slides down in her chair. I look at her bump. It's still so surreal that she's pregnant.


"Hello!" Jesy voice rings from the bottom of the stairs. "On which level of this monstrosity are you Harry?" Jesy calls. We laugh. "Okay!" She calls. Very soon Jesy comes up the stairs. 


"Hello, how are we all?" She asks walking over and hugging Harry whilst giving him a bottle of wine. Jordan shakes his hand and I get up and go and hug them both. So does Niall. Perrie bounds over and stands next to me. Being pregnant has made her extra hypo, which is very, very hypo. Jesy hasn't seen Perrie for a week because she didn't come yesterday and trust me, in the past week Perrie has popped right out. 


Jesy turns around and laughs. "Your fat!" She laughs. Perrie turns around to sit back down. "Sorry Perrie," Jesy says. The rest of us are laughing. Jesy spins Perrie around and hugs her. "You look lovely," Jesy smiles and kisses her forehead. Jesy, Perrie and I sit down at the table.


"How is being pregnant. Am I making a good decision trying?" Jesy asks. I laugh at Jesy and Perrie just smiles. I wonder what it is like? Perrie just acts like she isn't. 


"Yeah, you are. It's actually amazing. I'm liking it," Perrie smiles. Is she being sarcastic or not? 


Leigh, Louis and Eleanor arrive next and Leigh and Eleanor sit at the table with Perrie, Jesy and I. 


"Whose still to come?" Eleanor asks. I look around. Liam and Indie are the only one's not here. Not long after that they arrive and we all sit at the table. All of us seem to have big dining room tables. Probably because we have meals together a lot. 


"Lunch is served!" Harry cheers bringing over the food. We look at our bowls of pasta. Why do we always eat pasta. I watch as Harry places a bowl of salad in front of Perrie. I laugh considering she's been eating pasta easily again. 


"Thanks," she smiles politely. She's not going to tell him. I pick up her bowl and place mine in front of her. "No Jade." She mumbles trying to grab her bowl back. I hold it away as she tries to grab it. 


"No Perrie." I mimic her. "Have mine. I don't feel like pasta," I smile. 


"Sure?" She asks. I nod and Perrie thanks me. Plus, this salad looks REALLY good!


"Um, I thought you vomited if you ate pasta?" Harry asks Perrie. She shakes her head. 


"She's past that mate," Indie says. We all laugh.


"Mate!" A few of us pick on her Australian accent. She laughs, thankfully and we start eating our meal. Woah this salad is amazing! It's got cucumber, lettuce, feta, capsicum, carrot, tomato and potato in it with a gorgeous dressing. 


"So ladies, we have a interview in a week," Leigh announces. I watch as Leigh looks at Perrie nervously. She hasn't even heard Leigh. 


"Are you deaf?" I hit her shoulder. 


"Huh?" She asks. We all laugh at her obnoxiousness. "Interview next week?" She asks Leigh. Leigh nods in reply. She did hear maybe then.


"Are you coming?" Jesy asks Perrie. Perrie gives her a 'duh' face. "Pezz, your bump is noticable," Jesy states. Perrie nods. 


"Simon said we have to announce it now," Zayn informs. Thank goodness he's on the ball today. "We have an interview in two days so I'll do it then because rumours are going around," Zayn says. 


"I saw," Leigh grabs her bag and pulls out a stack of magazines. What the heck Leigh- Anne? There's  heaps of different magazines. She hands them over to me and Perrie. I look at the top one on the giant pile. There's a picture of Perrie and I in town the other day and the wind has pulled Perrie's top tight against her stomach. 


'Perrie Pregnant?'


'Little Mix Star Expecting?'


'Zerrie's First Baby?'


'Is Perrie Edwards Pregnant?'


Well yeah. She is! Suprise suprise! At least they didn't use that crappy 'Tum- thing to tell us?'. That get's on my nerves. Every magazine cover is the picture of Perrie and I. 


I throw them onto the floor under the table. "Why did you purchase them?" I ask Leigh. 


"Don't know?" Leigh shrugs. We all laugh a little. We don't like to buy the magazines with articles about us that aren't true, because they're normally bagging us out, unless we did one for Fabulous or something. 


After lunch we all sit around in the lounge and watch Leigh on Louis' shoulders fighting Perrie on Liam's shoulders. They're playing with life savers, God knows why Harry has them but it's quite entertaining because Liam made the rule that Leigh cannot hit Perrie in the mid section so Perrie keeps hitting Leigh there because she knows Leigh cannot hit her back in the same place. Zayn and Jesy went to get some more chocolate because we all wanted some more. 


The door bell rings and Niall jumps up to answer the door. We all go silent to try and hear who it is. Their footsteps get closer as they come up the stairs and Niall comes in with Molly behind him. Harry stands up and everyone freezes. Well, everyone apart from Perrie who whacks Louis with her lifesaver but accidentally hits him in the face. 


We crack up and then go silent because Niall coughs. Perrie full on lunges off Liam. Leigh decides to climb down off Louis gracefully. 


"Hey Liam, Louis, Eleanor, Leigh- Anne Jordan, Indie, Harry, P- Pe- Perrie," she stutters looking at her stomach. Thanks for ingnoring me Molly. Why I have no clue?


"Hey!" We all reply ingnoring the whole wierdness. 


"Um, I came to return this," Molly hands Harry a pile of his clothes. I cringe at the thought of them sleeping together. We all know they did, multiple times. 


"Hey Molly," I wave. Maybe she didn't notice me. She just gives me a death glare before turning back to Harry. "Um, did I do something?" I ask. 


"Molly, please say hello," Harry says to Molly. Molly rolls her eyes and doesn't say hello. What the heck is up her bum? What did I ever do to her?


"Molly," Harry sighs. Molly doesn't do anything. 


"Harry, you're not in control of me," Molly backchats. Oooh! Cat fight! My favourite!


"Molly, it's common curtesy to say hello to Jade," Harry replies. Molly just snobs me and turns around to go down the stairs. "Molly!" Harry demands. 


"What Harry?" Molly snaps turning around. What the heck is her problem?


"Just because I fell in love with Jade doesn't mean you be a bitch to her! Be grown up! I left you because I'm helplessly in love with Jade and I didn't want to hurt you," Harry says with anger in his voice. Harry's in love with ME? I cannot believe what I just heard? He loves me back? Perrie laughs and Harry gives her a look. 


"You sneaky daughter of a flying dog! You knew!" Louis says to Perrie. She giggles nervously and we sigh. I still cannot get over that Harry is in love with me!


"I'm leaving," Molly says. I walk over to her and grab her arm. "Let go slut!" Molly spits. 


"Molly! I didn't do anything wrong and I'm not a slut!" I add. She chuckles. 


"Sorry Jade, you're not a slut, you're a bitch and Perrie's the slut," Molly replies. Oh no she did not just say that! She can insult me but not Perrie. 


"Bitch!" I yell tackling her to the ground. She fights me back and I cop and slap to the cheek. I yank at her hair and she digs her nails into my skin. I squeal.


"Take that bitch!" She laughs. I seriously thought Molly was a nice person!


{Niall's POV}


We all watch the cat fight going on before us, not knowing what to do. They're getting closer and closer to the stairs but still none of us are doing anything. 


"Stop!" Perrie yells rushing over and trying to stop them. The next thing that happens though is not what I expected. One of their arms fly out and hit Perrie. Leigh and Perrie screech as Perrie stumbles backwards down the stairs. Louis rushes after her after his attempt to grab Perrie. She tumbles down the stairs and lands on the landing and I sprint down after Louis. 


I hear Liam and Eleanor seperating Molly and Jade. 


"Perrie!" Louis yells pulling her into his lap. She's out cold and resting slumped in Louis' legs. I place my fingers on her pulse and it's slow. "Perrie, wake up," Louis yells. I watch Molly rush past and I hear the front door closed.


"Call the ambulance!" I yell turning around. Jade is standing there staring at her un- concious friend. Jesy and Harry are in shock and Indie rushes down. I look at Perrie and shake my head. Jade and Molly are stupid and Harry. I mean, yes Perrie got involved but if Harry hadn't of got Molly worked up, if Jade hadn't grabbed Molly, if they hadn't of pushed Perrie down A F**KING STAIRCASE!


In ten minutes we hear sirens. Harry opens the gate and the paramedics are soon running up the stairs. 


"What happened?" One asks as they carefully place Perrie on the stretcher. I stand up and follow them down the stairs. 


"She tumbled backwards down the stairs," Louis replies, crying a little. They rush her out to the ambulance and slide her in. 


"You her husband?" The paramedic asks Louis. Louis shakes his head and we all stare at each other. Zayn. What the heck is he going to think. 


"Louis, go with Perrie. We'll follow and I'll call Zayn," Jesy says a little shaken up. "Zayn's her husband," Jesy informs the paramedics. The paramedics agree, Louis jumps into the back of the ambulance, they shut the doors and they're off. 


I get into my car with Harry, Jade and Jesy. Jordan, Indie, Liam and Eleanor go in Jordan's car and we speed off after the ambulance. 


{Zayn's POV}


As Leigh and I walk down the confectionary isle her phone rings. I look through the chocolate whilst she talks on the phone. 


As I'm reading a chocolate packet's ingredients I feel someone shake my shoulder vigorously. I turn and face Leigh. 


"That was Jesy. There's been an accident and they all going to the hospital. We need to get to emergency now!" Leigh says. I drop the chocolate and run after her. 


"Who had the accident?" I ask a little panicked, whilst we get into her Audi. Leigh shrugs and explains Jesy didn't say. She was too worked up. The first person to pop into my mind is Perrie. I have a horrible gut feeling that something has happened to Perrie and quite possibly the baby. 


Oh please no. Even if it is Perrie and as mean as this sounds, the baby doesn't make it, I'd really prefer Perrie to be okay because as much as I already love our child, I wouldn't be able to live without Perrie. Personally both of them to be alive and great is fine!


I wonder what happened? Somone stabbed someone else. No, they wouldn't all go to the hospital if that happened. It'd have to be something more dramatic. 


In no time, after breaking a few speed limits, we make it to Emergency and rush in the doors. We notice Harry's curls and rush down to them. As soon as we get there I look around. Where the f**k is Perrie. I start panicking, praying she is just in the toilet. Louis jumps up panicked. 


"Where's Perrie?" I panic looking around. Louis walks over and Leigh and I stand there anxiously. 


"Um, Perrie had a tumble," Louis says worridly. Leigh puts her hands out to ask 'what happened?'. Please say she just tripped over. 


"She fell down the top of Harry's stairs," Louis says quietly but loud enough for us to hear. 


"What?" Leigh screeches. "How?" She yells. I stand there frozen. No, no, no, no, no!


"She got pushed," Louis says quietly again. I feel the anger inside my head. She got pushed? 


"By who?" Leigh asks. Jade and Harry stand up and walk over. "Who pushed her?"


"We're not sure whether it was Jade or Molly," Louis replies. Leigh looks at Jade and clenches her fists. Why the heck was Molly there?


"How the f**k did you push her down the stairs?" Leigh asks Jade through rage. As much as I don't want to hear this I want to know why my wife and unborn child got pushed down a staircase. 


"You see," Harry starts. I look at him enraged. This better be a good excuse. "Molly came to return my stuff and I might have forced her to say hello to Jade and then she wouldn't and I admitted I'm in love with Jade and then Molly got angrier and angrier, which is kind of my fault and Jade grabbed Molly and then they started wrestling and none of us knew what to do and Perrie tried to stop her and then she got pushed," Harry says very fast paced. He made Molly angry so she pushed Perrie down a staircase. 


"So it's your fault?" Leigh asks Harry. Harry nods his head ashamed. The next thing I know my fist has flown into Harry's face, on his mouth and Harry stumbles backwards.


"Zayn!" Liam yells. I don't give a f**k. I lunge onto Harry and we both crash to the floor. 


"You are the reason my wife fell down a staricase!" I yell holding him to the floor by his neck. He chokes out 'stop' but I don't listen. 


"Zayn! Let him go!" Liam and Louis yell. I keep tighting my grip and Harry is gasping for air. I feel a set of arms yank me off Harry and we stumble back. 


"Zayn! We don't need another accident," Liam says holding me tightly. I calm down and the reality hits. I look at Harry dusting himself off and Jade crying into Leigh's arms. Perrie might not be okay. Our baby might not be okay. 


"Liam," I choke out. "What if, if, if," I start to cry. So manly Zayn. Went from trying to choke Harry to crying in Liam's arms. 


"It's okay Zayn. She's strong," Liam hugs me. No, I'm not going to be weak. I wipe my eyes, stand up and walk over to Harry. I need to be strong for Perrie. 


"Sorry Harry," I mumble. He hugs me tight and I hug him back. 


"I feel terrible. I'm so sorry," Harry pulls away. I shrug and we sit down, everyone in silence, sitting around in the emergency waiting room. 


★★★★★


We all look up at the sound of walking towards us. Dr. Oscar stands there and Louis, Jade and I jump up. It's been an hour now since we all arrived. 


"Hello again," she smiles. We all say hello back. "Zayn," she looks at me. "Come on," she calls me. I follow her down the hall and into a room where Perrie is sitting up in the bed. I smile at her and she smiles back. 


"Hello," I smile walking over and pecking her lips. "Don't do that again," I whisper. She laughs and says she will try not too. 


"So, Perrie. You may feel a little sore over the next few days but apart from that, you are very strong," Dr. Oscar smiles. Perrie laughs a little. "As for the baby, it is fine," Dr. Oscar says. I sigh and squeeze Perrie's hand. "Um you're already booked you in for a ultrasound tomorrow with Dr. Erica Williams," Dr. Oscar informs. "Do you want to see your friends?" She asks. 


Perrie nods and she leaves. I will get to see our baby for the first time! I kiss Perrie and place my hand on her stomach. I suddenly feel a movement on my hand and look at Perrie confused. 


"Somone knows who their Dadda is," Perrie laughs. I feel our baby kick again before pulling Perrie's hand under mine so she can feel. The baby kicks again and Perrie laughs. I smile with utter joy, knowing our baby is okay. 


"That's cute." A voice belonging to Louis says. We both look at the door and everyone is standing there looking at us. 


"How long have you been there?" I ask a little freaked out. We tend to appear suddenly on each other A LOT. I remember one time I was sitting on the stage and Little Mix had come out to prank us. I think it was last year. I was sitting on the front of the stage with Jesy and Perrie and Jade were dancing around with Louis and Harry to our right. The next second I looked to my right and they weren't there. When I turned to my left, due to the crowd laughing I had Louis' face in mine and Perrie leaning over me, not to mention Jade and Niall grabbing my legs from below. 


"Um, since Perrie started laughing and you started smiling like the joker," Jesy replies. We all laugh a little at her anology. I jump a little when the baby kicks again. 


"Is it kicking?" Louis squeals. Perrie nods and Louis and Jade barge their way over to feel. I step back and allow them. I'm just happy Perrie and our baby are okay. 


{Niall's POV}


They decided to keep Perrie over night and Jade and I voted to stay with Zayn and Perrie so we don't get bored. Jade and Perrie made up, not that they were really fighting because Perrie was unconcious but both Harry and Jade apologised. As for Molly, she just ran off without a word.


"I'm just going to get something to eat," I say standing up and walking out into the corridoor. Now to find a vending machine. 


As I'm looking around I see a familiar Doctor walking my way. Ella. As she gets closer I think of what to say?


"Hi," I smile. She stops and looks up from her phone. 


"Hey Niall, is something wrong with Perrie?" She asks. I shake my head. Great! "Can I help?" She asks. I nod. I hope I don't regret what I'm about to do. 


"Go date me tomorrow," I splutter out. Oh my god Niall! What the heck was that? She laughs and I looks at her like 'seriously?'.


"Do you mind refrasing that?" She asks trying not to laugh. I compose myself. It's been forever since I asked a girl out. 


"Will you go on a date with me tomorrow night?" I ask her. She smiles and holds her finger to her cheek pretending to think. "Um, sometime this century would be great because I'm starving," I say. She laughs. 


"Why not Niall?" She replies. My face breaks into a big smile. "What time?" She asks.


"I can pick you up at six," I reply. She nods before looking like she's realised something. 


"What time will we be home?" She asks a little worried. 


"Oh! Nine- thirty at the latest," I reply. She smiles and hands me her phone. We exchange numbers. I take my phone back and look at the name she entered. Ella Oscar. 


"Pretty name," I smile pretending I didn't ask Jade. She blushes. 


"Um, you said you were hungry. I have some pasta I can heat up for you," she offers pointing down the hall. 


"That'd be nice!" I smile following her down the hall. Once she gives me the pasta I thank her and go back to Perrie's room. 


I walk straight in and sit down in my chair and start eating whilst smirking. 


"Whatcha got there Niall?" Perrie asks. I finish my mouthful. 


"Pasta. Ella gave it to me and we're going on a date tomorrow night," I add before putting more pasta in my mouth. Jade, Perrie and Zayn smirk. I just smile to myself whilst eating my pasta. That's right people! I'm going on a date with the hot doctor!
