The Time Has Come

*7 Months Later*



Zayn's POV



Jade was still asleep, sleeping peacefully. Her face was beautiful as can be, she has been really insecure lately. I don't know if it hormones or just the fact she doesn't like being fat. She was gorgeous either way. The site of the bump made everything more joyous. She was about to pop anytime now. 



"Hey Zayn! How's she doing?" Marie walked in with Harry wrapped around her arm. 



"She's fine now, I just can't believe she's almost 9 months next week. It went by so fast, we haven't even picked a name yet!" 



"We can help ya know. We can get the whole crew together and suggest names, it'll be a happy family moment." Harry shrugged, I smiled at both of them. 



"That would be really fun wouldn't it." I glanced at Jade and rubbed her cheek and she groaned, causing me to smirk a little. "You're awake?"



"Yes, I don't wanna get up.." She put the pillow over her face and Marie giggled laying beside her. 



"C'mon! Me and Harry were thinking of taking you shopping. Well not for you, but for our niece.." She explained, Jade was pretty convinced when she pulled the pillow from her face. 



"Fine... Get out, all of you. I need to get dressed." She giggled, her voice was weak. But you can tell she was really trying to hold back the pain. I held her hands as she crawled out of bed. I looked down at her belly and smiled. 



"You're beautiful you know that right?" She looked up at me and smiled, kissing my cheek. 



"I guess, I just want to see my baby's face already. I'm too excited!" 



"I am too, we're gonna get the whole gang together to find a name for her. Marie and Harry want to take you shopping first, for the baby." Her smile grew wider.



"Really?" I nodded. She kissed me passionately as a rubbed her bump. She pulled back smiling again and shoved me out the room. "Now move I needa get dress!" She giggled. 



"Love you!" I cried. 



"Love you too baby!" She shut the door slowly.

Marie's POV 



Harry and I waited in the car for Jade, discussing what good people we are for doing this for her and Zayn. 



"They're going to be really great parents, like Sonny and Cher!" I laughed, Harry nodding. 



"Yeah, but we're Bonnie and Clyde baby." Harry bit his lip, I blushed. 



"Oh stop it Hazza." I leaned over and kissed him, getting more aggressive. He gripped at my waist as I ran my fingers through his curls. The door swung open, Jade entering into the car. We pulled away quickly, Harry fixing his hair. "Hey JJ!" 



"Hey guys, thanks for doing this for me. I couldn't ask for more." 



"You don't have to ask, 'cause we insist on doing it. You have no choice." Harry chuckled, starting the car and driving off. Jade giggled as she attempted to put on her green Vans. 



"Here let me help you.." I lunged over my seat as she propped her foot up, allowing me to slip them on over her white socks. 



"Thanks Marie." I examined her outfit, she was pretty hot for a pregnant girl. She wore all white skinnies, an all black zip up hood that said "BOSTON" in green with a shamrock printed under the "-TON". A white bow tied up her hair in a pony tail, having her long, now black, hair down her back. She had all black shades hanging from her jacket. 



"What are the glasses for?" I cocked my head at her.



"Paparazzi haven't seen me in a while. I don't want the recognizing me like this.." She shrugged, I shook my head understandingly. Harry drove in a few less crowded areas as shortcuts, reaching the mall in a matter of minutes. As we both got out, I assisted Jade and she waddled out the car, adjusting her jacket.



"I'm good, now let's go. I need like EVERYTHING for this child." Jade laughed, holding onto my hand as I held Harry's in the other.




Jade's POV



As we scanned the stores, Harry and Marie were asked for pictures by many young girls, not minding who I was. They examined me but I just turned away hoping they wouldn't recognize. Once the fans had walked away, I'd take a deep breath, gripping Harry's hand. 



"You're good Jade, don't worry." I smiled at him and released his hand, walking towards the store Gymboree. I gasped as Marie led me into the store. It had everything! Clothes, pacifiers, cradles, just everything. I walked towards the Baby Girl section of the store, examining all the tiny shoes. I'd remember being younger and thinking it was just adorable. But the fact that I'm buying these now is just... Unbelievable. I covered my mouth and started crying. Marie came hugging me, "Why are you crying?" 



"I'm just.. really happy. This is just so cute, I can't take it." I giggled as the happy tears rolled down my face. Harry walked beside us holding some mini white Vans. 



"I can't even fit my hand in here!" He joked, shoving them on his thumb. Marie and I laughed as we examined all the dresses and skirts. I picked out a small white dress with light pink hearts dashed all over them, it was completely adorable. Marie had picked out some pink shorts and a white and red plaid shirt. 



"That would actually look really cute if Harry bought the Vans." I bit my lip examining Harry as he left the store. Why was he leaving? I looked at Marie, hypnotized by all the baby furniture at the far corner of the store. I approached her and examined the cradles, all made of glossy tan wood. I examined the sheets, all soft as ever. The tiny pillows were about the size of my calf, I picked out 2 different colored pillow, one pink and the other green. Marie had a bedspread already picked out. It was white with green and pink stripes on it. "You like?" She held it across her chest grinning. 



"I adore it." I smiled as she folded it back up. 



"I like this bed!" She pointed at the hazel colored wooden cradle. The bars glimmered in the light and it has a little hanger for the stuffed animals to be hung over the baby. I loved it. 



"I'm getting this one, definitely!" Marie grinned as she called for an employee. They discussed on the cradle as I felt on the bars, smooth. Moments later, the same employee came rolling in a gigantic cardboard box, the imagine of he cradle printed on both sides. 



"Here you guys go!" He dropped it infront of us, the box's height was a little bit over my waist and the width being the size of three Harrys standing next to each other. 



"Wow, that's huge.." Marie stared at the box, attempting to pick it up. Harry waltzed in holding a bunch of shopping bags. 



"Where have you been Hazza?" I approached him, he raised the bags. 



"Shopping for my niece. She's going to look pretty swagged out!" Harry tried making his best gangster accent as he pulled out some mini grey and white Flight 45s. 



"Oh my gosh! It's so small, Harry this is too cute!" I held both shoes in one palm. 



"Yeah, I hope you like these too.." He took out two more of the same color and design, except one was bigger. "For you and Zayn, I had a dream of doing it myself with my kid, but that hasn't happened yet. So I bought it for you guys.." I threw myself on Harry giving him the tightest hug. Soon after my phone rang, I read the name that appeared on my screen, Zayn. 



"Hey babe!" I picked up.



"Oi hun, how you guys doing?" 



"We almost done, we got clothes for the baby, a cradle and Harry bought 3 pairs of Jordan's. It's the most adorable thing ever, I think I might cry." I smiled glancing at Harry and Marie showing off what he bought. 



"Really? He did? Wow, that's awful nice of him then wouldn't you say?"



"Yeah, we're about to head home now. I'll see you later pumpkin."



"Alright bye love! Muah!" I laughed and sent a kiss into my phone and hung up. I glanced at the happy couple putting the clothes back in the bag.



"You ready to go hun?' Marie glanced at me, holding all the bags so Harry could carry the giant box. 



"Yup let's go." As I glanced at my stomach, my shades had fallen off my face and onto the ground. Marie picked it up and dusted them off. 



"Oh my gosh! IT'S JADE ADELPHIA!!!" A young girl shrieked. Oh no, not now. I slid the glasses back on and grabbing Marie's arm, walking fast paced out the store and towards the nearest exit of them mall. The crowd behind us grew but I simply ignored them. Malls cops had come to the scene and assisted me through the mall and out the doors. The majority of the mall cops stayed behind holding back the teenage girls as we walked to the car. Helping Harry put the box in the trunk, Marie came behind me guiding me into the car. Harry and Marie threw themselves in and we drove off. I had my face planted inside my arms, what has just happened? "What have I done..."



"It's not that bad Jade! The world was going to find out someday, you can't keep that child a secret forever.." Harry explained, he was right. I can't hide my baby from life. 



"What is management going to say?! Oh my gosh... Zayn. Oh god." I sobbed into my into hands. "They're going to make up all these rumors.. Ugh, I ruined his life." Marie departed her passenger seat to sit next to me. 



"Babe, you didn't. Words will be said, yes. But as long as the truth is said, you have nothing to worry about ok?" I looked at her as she held me in her arms. We reached the house and I hopped out by myself. I took some of the shopping bags and so did Marie, Harry taking out the box once more. I swung the door open to see the rest of the gang spread out across the living room. They all cheered at the site of me, I felt my face go hot and I started blushing. "Hey guys.." I put the bags by the door. 



"We'll take the stuff upstairs ok?" Marie grabbed bags from the floor and took it upstairs, as well as Harry, struggling to pick up the box now. 



"A little help maybe?!" He mumbled as Liam assisted him, lunging it up the stairs. I smiled at everyone and sat between Danielle and Niall. I scanned the room. 



"Um, where's Zayn?"



"He went to the jewelry store, he said he needed to get something that was important." I smiled, what jewelry was he getting specifically? 



"Oh well that's good to know, what were you guys doing here all this time?"



"Baby names! We chose three names we liked the most."



"Oh what is it?" I looked at everyone, and Louis spoke up. 



"Chelsea, Katie or Arianna!" He smiled, almost proud of himself. 



"Wow, those are really nice names guys, Harry suggested Emma. I liked it but I don't know." Zayn walked through the door. At the site of me he slipped something into his pocket and smiled nervously at me. 



"Hey babe!" He ran up to me, pecking me on the lips softly. He picked me up and he sat down in my spot, placing me on his lap. I laid my head on his shoulder as everyone shared more names. 



"You know... I have a few names too." Zayn sighed, almost sounding confident. "Um, I thought of naming her Zara.. Or Piper." He shrugged, I looked up at him smiling, those names fit perfect. 



"I love Piper.." I whispered, as he held me tight. 



"Really?" 



"Yes little baby Piper.." I grinned, the happy tears started coming down. He smiled back at me kissed my forehead. 



"My niece baby Piper! I LOVE IT!!" Danielle jumped up clapping, everyone started to cheer. Harry, Marie and Liam came running down the stairs.



"What happened?!" Liam asked. 



"Her name is Piper!" Danielle hugged him tight, I smile grew on Liam's face. Harry and Marie came over and hugged me. 



"You're so strong, I adore it Jade. I can't wait 'til baby Piper comes!" Marie giggled, and so did I. But my smile faded. I felt something slither down my pants and a little spark of pain poked my insides. 



"Um, you guys..." Zayn gave me a worried look and grabbed onto my hand. 



"What's wrong? Are you having the stomach aches again?"



"Nope, I think my water just broke.."
