As Louis and Harry stayed inside to comfort Zayn, Becca and I decided to get some air outside. At first the both of us didn't say a word, what had just happened was a lot to process. But at the same time I think the both of us had no idea how we should be feeling. On one hand, Zayn had just had a baby, which is usually a happy time. However at same time he's lost his girlfriend, something which particularly scared me because of my pregnancy. I was terrified now in case something like that happened to Harry and I.
But after so long, Becca broke the silence. "I still can't believe Zayn has a son," She said, running her hand through her hair to move her fringe from her face. "It's just... weird."
"Mmm." I mumbled, my hands subconsciously lowering to my bump. I could feel Darcy moving around a lot, could she tell something was wrong?
"It's weird, he's had a baby, you're having a girl and I can't even get pregnant." She sighed, looking down.
"Aw Becca, it just takes time." I told her.
She shrugged without saying a word, "What if there's something wrong with me?" She whispered, her voice breaking and cracking as if she was going to cry.
"Don't be silly." I said. "There isn't anything wrong with you, sometimes it takes longer with some people than it does with others."
"We've been trying for ages though." She said.
I pulled her into a hug, "Don't worry." I said to her.
As I hugged her Harry and Louis appeared from the hospital entrance. Becca let go of me and went straight into Louis' arms; he whispered something to her and then kissed her. I went straight into Harry's arms.
"Lou rang Liam and Niall so they're on their way here, so we can take you two home." Harry said, kissing my head after.
Later that night I couldn't sleep. Not with what had just happened. I was tired, yes, but I couldn't fall asleep with what was on my mind. I was terrified of giving birth as it was, but with Zayn's girlfriend dying? For most of the night I just laid there, I could feel Darcy moving around and kicking inside me which always made me smile. It was like she knew I wasn't happy and by moving around was her way of trying to make me feel better.
However from beside me Harry turned over, his arms wrapping round me with his hands on my bump. "Babe?" He whispered.
"Mmm?" I mumbled, my hands on top of his.
"You're awake..." He whispered, "What's up?"
"Nothing." I lied. I didn't want to worry him.
He moved slightly and kissed me, "You can tell me anything."
I sighed, "I'm just... scared." I admitted. "With what happened with Zayn's girlfriend today and everything I just..."
"Aw babe," He said, his hands now rubbing my bump softly. "You'll be fine; I won't let anything happen to you or Darcy."
I took one of his hands, "I love you." I whispered. He kissed my cheek again, stroking my bump with his free hand. "Can you promise me one thing? If something does happen-"
"Annie don't."
"Harry I'm serious, if something happens... please just, look after her won't you?"
"Of course I will. She's my little girl." He whispered, “now get some sleep, you need it.”

The next day we visited Zayn in hospital again. He wasn’t allowed to take Cal home straight away so he had to stay overnight, just to make sure he was healthy since he was born a few weeks early. Harry and I were the first to arrive, we told the nurse who we were and she told us where he was – the neonatal unit.
We went in quietly, Cal’s small hospital cot being the first one we came to. Beside the cot Zayn was fast asleep on a chair, his jacket over him for warmth. We looked in on Cal, who was also fast asleep – like father like son.
“He’s beautiful,” I whispered to Harry, “he looks so much like Zayn.”
“I know, I can’t believe he didn’t tell us though.” He sighed.
I put my hand on his shoulder, “He will have had his reasons babe.”
“I mean it’s not like we’d tell anyone…” At that moment we heard a rustle from behind us, Zayn was awake. He sat up, stretching his arms and legs out before acknowledging we were here. “Morning mate.”
Zayn just stood up, no words to us. He looked in on Cal in the small cot, “How is he?” He asked.
“He seems okay.” I answered. Zayn put his hand in the cot, stroking Cal’s head gently. “How are you?”
He sighed, “Knackered, I barely slept all night.”
“Aww Zayn.”
There was another block of silence. Zayn simply gazed at his new born son; I could see the adoration grow in his eyes. “The um… the funeral is next Friday, if you wanna come… you don’t have to but.. yeah..”
I looked at Harry, “We’ll come,” He said, “if you want us there?”
Zayn turned to us and nodded, “Thank you.”
“It’s no problem.” I replied. “And if you need any help with Cal, like looking after him and stuff then we’re here.”
“Thanks,” Zayn said. “Liam said I could stay with him for a bit so he’s gonna help me.” He then turned back to the cot and put both hands in, lifting baby Cal out. He settled into Zayn’s arms immediately, he was a perfect fit. Cal then wrapped his tiny hand around Zayn’s finger, “We’ll be alright, won’t we buddy?” And as if he knew what he was saying, Cal gurgled. “Does one of you want to hold him?”
“I will.” I smiled. Zayn gently handed Cal to me, he instantly relaxed in my arms and fell right to sleep.
“He likes you.” Zayn beamed.
“He’s beautiful.”
Again there was a moment of silence, I was transfixed on Cal. He was so small and cute, and looked just like Zayn. The saying ‘like father, like son’ soon came to mind.
“So um, who is Cal’s Godfather?” Harry asked.
“Harry.” I sighed.
Zayn laughed nervously. “I… I was kind of gonna ask Liam mate…”
I looked at Harry, “Well I suppose he deserves it.” Zayn laughed. Harry then looked at me, “I can’t wait for ours now.”
