We wake up to the sound of little feet thumping off of the linolium floor.

“I wonder what they are up to?” I say sleepily

“Yeah and we are adding another one to the mix too. I can’t believe we are going to be a proper family.” Niall tells me kissing my neck knowing that is gets me going.

“I know, i’m so excited and you’ll love the new house” I tell him

“Where did you find the time to go look at a house?” He asks quizzically

I laugh “Facetime tour”

He lifts and eyebrow and stares at me like i’m crazy.

“Oook.” he says “When do we get to move in?”

“Well I have some calls to make because I want everything to be done before we move in. I have three and a half months left on me lease then we will be in our forever home together as a family” I tell him

“That’s amazing love and what about our little peanut? have you been to the clinic yet?” Niall asks me

“No I haven’t, I will see doctor Roth soon.” I tell him

Niall leans over and presses his mouth lustfully against mine as he hovers over me.

“Ow Bailey” he grunts from me digging my nails into his neck

“Sorry” I pant against his lips

Niall sits back a bit taking his sweet lips away from mine, his chest heaving as he gasps for breath.

The next week goes by rather slowly. I call and have painters set up to go paint all the rooms at the Oxford house, I also call to have the wiring, plumbing and roof updated along with all the appliances. I want everything to be perfect before we move in. I also call an interior decorator to see if she can do something special for me. When I have my ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby i’m not going to find out. I’ll give it to her and she will design the nursery accordingly. She agreed to do it for me but in the mean time she is going to start on decorating the girls’ room and mine and Niall’s room.

Speaking of Niall; he has been really busy in the studio working on his self-titled album. Tomorrow I go see the doctor for my first check up, where I find out how far I am and my due date. For now though I’m going to lie about on the couch and watch some television. As I’m flipping through the channels I hear something about Zayn so I flip back to BBC News and read across the top of the t.v. { Zayn and fiance Anakova Jakobson confirm rumor of stage 4 cancer}
I sit up frozen in place as pictures of Zayn and Annie go across the screen. When the reporter comes back onto the television she says that they have not made any comments about treatment at this time. I mute the t.v. and grab my phone to call Niall. He finally answers after the fourth ring.

“Hey love i’m very busy, is everything ok?”

I pause and let out a small sob.

“Bails sweetheart what’s the matter?” He asks worry in his voice “Is it the baby?”

“Did you know?” is all I can get out

“Know what love?”

“Th.. That Annie has cancer?” I cry

“What? no, where did you hear such a thing?”

“It was on the news, said that Zayn and Annie confirmed it” I sob again

“Bailey listen to me love, call Annie and talk to her about it. I’m sure she just wanted to find out for sure first before telling anyone.” Niall tries to reassure me

I hang up from Niall and call Annie. We talk for quite a long time. She told me that she noticed a lump a few months ago when she was feeding the triplets. She said she didn’t think anything of it but noticed that it started getting bigger and hurting. Annie said at first the doctor just did some normal blood work and such but when it came back abnormal they started doing more testing. After two weeks her doctor sat her down and told her that the lump is a tumor and it is cancerous; they predicted her to be in stage 4 breast cancer.

I sat silently and cried as she explained all of it to me.

“So what is your plan?” I ask her

“I’m suppose to start Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in two weeks to see if the tumor will shrink.” She tells me

“Wh..why didn’t you tell me?” I ask

“I’m sorry love, i’ve had so much on my mind and so much stuff going on with myself and the kids, the only way it got out to the news media is because fans saw Z and I coming and going from the oncology office.” Annie explains

“I can respect that. If you ever need anything let Niall and I know. I will be here for you through all of this.” I tell her

“Most certainly… I love you Bailey” Annie’s voice squeaks

“I love you too Annie.”
