Always Expect the Unexpected

Abbey’s POV

~Saturday~

“Bye Niall, I’ll miss you so much!” I sighed, kissing him on the lips at the airport. I had to sit here and wait another 30 minutes after they left for my mom and sister and friend Sam. I had yet to tell Sam I was pregnant.

Niall pulled me closer and kissed me really tenderly. “I’ll call you from the hotel when I get there. We’ll Skype later, too, okay love?” he said. It wasn’t a question.

“Got it boss!” I said saluting. He had already dropped off all of his baggage and all he had was his phone and iPod (don’t know why he needed both).

He chuckled, picking me up and spinning me around and then he kissed me. I giggled and let him leave. When he was gone I felt like crying, but I didn’t. I went to hang out with some of the people who worked there. They were excited to talk to me. When I heard what flight had landed and went and waited for my mom and sister and friend. I waited and waited for what seemed like forever, until I saw a little girl running at me screaming “Abb’s!!!!”

“Pooh-bear!” I yelled, catching her in my arms. “How are you Payton?” I asked her.

“I’m great! Mommy and Sam are coming. They’re getting the bags.”

“Oh, okay,” I sighed. I sat there with my little sister Payton on my lap talking about all of the stuff I miss at home. Apparently my mom has a new boyfriend name James who is attached to her by the hip. He wasn’t very happy when we we’re leaving because they started yelling “bad things” as my lovely sister put it.

When Sam and my mom came I hugged them both. I just wanted to leave the airport, so we did. We rode in Niall’s limo all the way home. I was kind of embarrassed because the limo had inappropriate pictures of me with Niall. None of them were naked, but we were kissing and on top of each other, and Payton was pointing them all out. I laughed awkwardly and told her to hush. Sam looked pleased to see that what I had been saying and what she had been hearing at school was true. When we finally got to the apartment I let them come in and make them selves at home in the spare bedroom. I was going to let Sam sleep in mine and Niall’s bed.

“Okay!” my mom said, clapping her hands together like she does when she is finally relived of stress. “Let’s just relax today. I’m really tired,” she gave me a pleading look.

“Okay,” I laughed. “Oh! I need to take a picture right now actually. Let me go change!” I said quickly, running into my room and changing into one of the sets of sweats and a t-shirt that Niall left for me. I came back in and my mom looked at me funny.

“Abbey, you’re wearing that for a picture?” she asked. She looked confused.

“It’s for this idea Niall had. I have to take a picture of my belly every day until I give birth to document the growth. I think it’s really cool actually. When I’m done I’ll put it into a slide show for day after day and it was show the growth of the baby through out all of the terms. It’s also so Niall can see the baby grow since he wont be here for most of my pregnancy,” I explained.

“Oh, that is cool!” Sam and my mom said in unison.

I handed my mom my camera and stood where Niall had the dirt on the floor. “Make sure the red dot on the camera is in the center of my forehead!” I said through my smile.

My mom took the picture and I looked at it. I smiled. “Cool,” I nodded my head and sat down on the couch. Payton came running into the living room screaming.

“What’s wrong Payton?” I asked, catching her in my arms.

“I was in your room and I saw sheets with blood on them!” she yelled.

I froze and thought for a second. “Oh, you mean the sheets in the corner, Pooh bear?” I asked. She nodded her head. “I was painting a picture with Niall and we spilled the red paint everywhere!” I lied.

“Oh! I understand,” Payton said, nodding her head. “Can we watch TV?” she asked.

I laughed. “Of course. Why don’t you turn it on Cartoon Network, I know you love those shows! I’m going to talk to Sam in the kitchen,” I said, nodding at Sam. I wanted to talk to her about the boys.

“What you want, girl?” she asked in her mock-ghetto voice.

I smiled. “You know how you are absolutely IN LOVE with the boys?” I asked her.

She nodded her head. “Of course, why?”

“We may video chat tonight, but I’m going to warn you, if you can, please try not to act too weird. Also, don’t ask about Harry. Niall and him are at a falling out,” I muttered quietly.

“I know that, but why?” she asked.

“Remember Allania?” I asked. I didn’t like this topic.

“Of course I do!” she said. She was hiding the disgust in her voice at the mention of her name.

“Well, she’s here, and hooked up with Harry. She lied to him and told him things about me that were more true about her than anything,” I sighed.

“Ah the bitch!” Sam said a little too loud.

“Yeah, I know,” I said, and my phone went off playing “Viva La Vida”. I jumped and saw Niall was calling. “Hey,” I answered.

“Hey babe,” Niall said.

“So I take it you made it to the hotel safe?” I asked.

“Yeah, and I miss you so much already!” he exclaimed. I wished I could just hug him. Instead, I settled for Sam. “Is your mom and friend there now?” he asked.

I giggled. “Are they, you mean? Yeah, they are. When can we Skype?” I asked.

“Uh, I’m not sure we can tonight actually. The boys want to go clubbing and they wont let me stay home. They said they’d take me kicking and screaming, and I don’t feel like being swarmed by paps again,” he sighed.

Again? I wondered what happened. “I understand, totally. But, what do you mean again?” I asked.

“Well, as soon as we got to the hotel, a bunch of girls were attacking up, and I hid behind Paul along with Zayn and Liam, but Harry and Louis were stuck with all of the girls. They finally disbanded, but only because a bunch of paps pushed them away. I’m sure you’ll see it in the tabloids or on some news channel,” he said. He was whispering now.

“Oh, okay, well I love you. Call me when you get the chance, babe,” I said.

“I love you too, Abb’s,” he said.

“Okay, bye,” I sighed and hung up. I looked at Sam, who I was still hugging, and she looked at me funny.

“What?” I asked, letting go of her.

“You are so weird. The look on your face talking to him, it looked like you were in a dream,” she said. “Plus, you hugged me. You never hug me!” she said sarcastically.

I giggled. “Okay, well let’s go join my mom and sister in the other room, unless you want to go out?” I asked.

Sam laughed. “I’m not exactly the ‘going out’ type, so let’s go sit with your family.”

We walked in and they were both glued to the TV. It had footage of 5 guys walking into a hotel, being modded by girls in what I recognized a New York. Then I recognized Niall’s hair and gasped, watching some of the girls tackle the boys. Niall pulled Harry and Louis out from under some girls and then helped Liam and Zayn. Paul stepped in front of them and pushed them into the hotel just before it happened again.

“And that is why you don’t tell people what hotel you’re staying at on Twitter!” the news reporter joked.

“Oh my god..” I said, whipping out my phone. I dialed Niall’s number and he picked up right away.

“Hello beautiful,” he sang into the phone.

“You didn’t tell me everyone got tackled!” I yelled.

“Abbey, that is not a way to greet someone!” my mom said.

“Hush it, Mom. Niall, how did you avoid getting tackled?” I asked.

“I don’t know. It happened really fast. Harry got attacked first, then Louis, then Zayn, then Liam. Paul pulled me back before they got a chance to get me. All of them are fine, I promise. I just didn’t want to worry you! It wont be good for the baby!” he groaned into the phone.

I really missed him a lot, and he wasn’t even gone a day. “Okay, tell all of the boys I wish them well Niall. Are you really going clubbing, cause it wouldn’t be safe,” I held back tears, imagining him being attacked in a club in a dark corner, like I was. I shivered at the memory.

“No, not anymore. Harry decided the plans were canceled because of the incident. I’ll Skype you in like 10 minutes after I eat something, okay?” he asked.

I smiled. “Yeah, okay. I’ll see you then!” I cheered.

I opened Niall’s laptop, which he happened to forget, and waited for his to call, and when he did I answered right away. “Hello!” I sang in a weird tune.

He laughed. “Hey. Is your friend there?” he asked.

I nodded my head. “Yep. She’s being shy though. She’s hiding out in the guest room. Should I drag her out kicking and screaming?” I asked, making fun of him earlier. I raised my eyebrows at his expression, which was amused.

“Shy? I thought you said she loved One Direction!” Niall laughed. Something was off.

“Is everyone there, right now?” I asked.

He nodded. “No, they’re out!” he said. He held up a piece of paper that read ‘They were going to surprise Sam. Shh, don’t tell!’

I frowned and snapped. “Aw darn, Sam would have loved to see them. I’ll go get her,” I jumped up and ran to the guest room. “Sam, come on, don’t be a poop!” I yelled, grabbing her and picking her up. She didn’t weigh much. I carried her into the living room where I had the laptop set up and sat on her lap on the couch. I smiled at Niall, who was now laughing. “Here she is, the one and only Samantha!” I declared, knowing she hated that name.

Sam hit me. “Don’t make them start calling me that!” Sam cried.

“Oh. Sorry, I forgot,” I said innocently. I scooted off of her and sat next to her on the couch. I scooted her over so we were both in the camera. “So, Niall, where are the boys?” I asked.

He thought for a second. “Well, they said they wanted to go clubbing, so I guess that’s where they went,” he said, shrugging. He should be an actor. I almost believed him.

Sam’s face almost dropped. “Aw, darn,” she sighed. She pulled out her phone and started texting someone. I looked over at the name, which said “Layla”. I looked at her funny and she shrugged. “Wrong number, they told me their name,” she mouthed. I nodded.

“Wait a second,” Niall said, looking to his left. I heard voices and I laughed. They really knew how to act like they just got home.

“Dude!” I heard Louis’ voice. He stumbled over to the laptop, obviously drunk. “Oh, look it’s Abbey, guys!” he said, pointing to the laptop.

“Really?” I heard Liam and Zayn say in unison. They ran over and looked at the laptop. Harry walked slowly behind them and smiled sheepishly, before focusing on Sam.

“And who is the pretty little fit girl?” Harry asked.

I heard Sam giggle softly next to me and grinned. “This is Sam,” I said, holding out my arms to her. She waved awkwardly, and looked like she was about to faint. I laughed at her and then looked at all of the boys, standing together. I studied them, looking for tension. I looked directly at Niall’s face, which had a bruise on his jaw. It was small, but I noticed. Then I looked at Harry, and his hair was moved out of place a little, and I saw a bruise on his head. I decided not to say anything until some other time.

“So Sam, are you going to be there in the next 2 months?” Zayn asked.

“Uh, y-yeah,” she stuttered.

Zayn smiled one of his ‘I’m really sweet and want to get to know you better, but not right now’ smiles. “Cool, I’ll see you then,” he said walking away.

We had a really long conversation and then when he logged off Sam and I went to bed, and fell asleep right away. I slept fine that night. When I woke up we went on a tour of London, and then took my picture, put the date on it, and then we did pretty much the same thing every day for the next 7 weeks, up until I had to go to the OBGYN again. Sam offered to go with me while my mom tended to Payton. I signed in and went back pretty quick and got the Ultrasound and we talked about Pre-natal care and taking care of my self. I had grown a little since last time, my stomach looking kind of chubby. The baby now looked and alien with a little weird thing sticking out of it stomach. “Yep, you are defiantly at 8 weeks exactly,” the doctor said.

I smiled. “Can we tell the gender yet?” I asked, smiling really big.

The doctor thought about it for a second. “Uh, let me look,” she said quietly, looking at the ultrasound. “No, not yet, not unless we do a blood test, but it can be dangerous,” the doctor said.

“No don’t, it’s okay!” I said quickly. I laughed a little and the doctor smiled.

“Of course, now please, relax your muscles, you almost pushed the ultrasound out!” she demanded. I relaxed, imagining Niall where Sam was sitting. “Can you take a picture?” I asked.

She snapped a shot and handed me a copy of the picture. We left and went to the apartment and ate ice cream while waiting for my mom and sister to come home.

When my sister came inside she gave me a hug and then walked passed me into the guest room. She didn’t look very happy. A few seconds later mom ran in and gave me a hug and went in there as well.

“Somebody’s grounded,” Sam muttered.

I snickered and then checked my phone. I hadn’t thought about it all day. I had a text from Niall.

From Nialler: Hey babe. Twit cam @ 17:00 your time. Be there;)

I smiled and showed Sam. She looked at me funny. “Abbey, that’s in 5 minutes. What’s the link?” she asked.

I texted Niall back.

To: Nialler: Kay, but what’s the link. I need to know:) Love you.

He responded right away.

From Nialler: (link...) Love you, too!

I typed in the link and waited to connect. As soon as I connected it was 17:00. I saw all of them smiling.

“So hello guys! We’re going to sing to you before we get this thing started. Just chill out for like 5 minutes,” Louis said excitedly.

Sam and I typed at the same time trying to say to different things and it came up as “Jusrhtth hurarary urwdfep!!” on the screen and laughed, pressing send.

Harry smiled. “Someone’s excited. They said ‘Jusrththh hu-ray-ray urwefeep!” he said, trying to read it out loud.

Sam I laughed out loud again and waited for them to start singing.

When they were done singing a song I didn’t recognize, so it obviously wasn’t by them, Niall smiled cheekily at the camera and held up a song that said “I love you Abbey!” in his adorable handwriting. Suddenly the comments and questions were blowing up, people asking if I was pregnant or not. I looked at Niall, who looked uncomfortable. I wanted to comfort him, but he was so far away.

“Well, since you guys, or gals, or whatever want to know so bad, and we can’t hide it for much longer, yes she is pregnant,” Niall huffed out in one big breath. He looked uncomfortable.

Suddenly, one comment stuck out the most to me. I got so mad when I saw it. “Is it yours?”

Niall had the same reaction as me, and I could tell.

Niall’s POV

I looked at all of the boys around me really fast and then looked back at the screen. I read the question out loud. “Is it yours?” I said quietly. I nodded my head. “Yes, of course it’s mine,” I said. I can’t believe someone would ask that. Did they really think Abbey would do something like that?

Harry smirked at me and then nodded at the other boys, who weren’t really paying attention. Zayn was messing with his hair, Louis was texting, probably his girl, and Liam was watching us. I sighed and mumbled something about wanting to turn off the Twit Cam. Harry seemed to hear me.

“Okay, well seeing as my band mates aren’t paying attention to the fact that this is a Twit Cam, for fans,” he almost yelled, “then this is now and Q and A with Harry Styles!” he exclaimed, almost proudly.

I smiled sheepishly, waved goodbye, and slipped off to my room. I pulled out my cell and texted Abbey.

To Abbey Bug<3: Did you like the song?

I waited for a minute then checked twitter. I had 100 new followers, and people were asking me questions about the baby already. News spread like wild fire when you were famous.

After a while I ended up falling asleep and when my phone went off it scared me. I had apparently been sleeping for an hour and a half. I looked at my message.

From Abbey Bug<3: Yeah, it was great. I didn’t know it though, who was it by?

I smiled and answered.

To Abbey Bug<3: It was Break Even by The Script. How did you not know? I took you as a girl who would.

I realized how rude that sounded and immediately wished I could take it back.

From Abbey Bug<3: Oh, well I liked it. Maybe I could get into that band. Not like that though, lol. What’s up?

To Abbey Bug<3: Just laying in bed checking Twitter and talking to you. I’m about to sleep soon though because we’re preforming tomorrow.

I waited for her to reply but it seemed like forever, so I started playing Temple Run. I had just beaten my high score of 602,361 (yes, I know, pitiful!) and she texted me back. I was about to die anyway, so I just closed the app and read the text.

From Abbey Bug<3: Wow, you are living QUITE the party. I wish I was there, I miss you, good might, sweet dreams, I’ve been thinking about you, all that jazz. ;) xoxo

I smiled. She was so weird sometimes.

To Abbey Bug<3: Ditto. I’ll see you sometime soon, okay babe? I love you, and I’ll be coming back in a week!

She responded right away.

From Abbey Bug<3: Can’t wait! See you then, xoxo

I rolled over in my bed and closed my eyes, already mostly asleep anyway.
