“So what name have you guys decided on?” I asked, as I sipped on some white wine in Zara’s backyard during her baby shower. The place was getting packed, many of our friends had already arrived and Zara’s family was streaming in as well as Andy Samuel's. She had been all over the place greeting all the guests and this was the first time I actually got to sneak in a conversation with my best friend.
                          
“We’re stuck between Jeremy and Dylan. But I like Jeremy because I can call him Remi as a nickname. I don't know, we'll figure it out!” she laughed. She was in such a good mood and she looked so cute in her white long Grecian dress, her biggest accessory ofcourse being her beautiful baby bump. Damn, she looked like she was gonna pop open any second.
                          
 “And thanks so much for forcing the boys to perform. You know how much I love Lawson, this is going to be so great.”
                          
“I didn’t force them, they were so excited and willing to do it. Although I don’t know why they’re running late,” I implored glancing at my watch.
                          
“Who’s that girl with Liam?” she asked, looking past me. I turned around to see Liam holding hands with a beautiful blonde girl as he conversed with the guests.I just did a cheeky expression to suggest that maybe it was the new girl he was dating and Zara caught on real quick, letting out a light giggle.
                          
“Where the hell are you?” I texted Andy with impatience.
                          
“Oh Danielle and Harry made it. Is that Gordon he’s grown so much, he has curly hair what a cute child oh my God!” Zara went on as I continued to scan the area. My eyes landed on Zayn, he was wearing a three piece suit with a lose tie. I would think he’s a bit over dressed because Zara really didn’t put a dress code for the event but then again, he is Zayn he can do whatever the fuck he wants. Plus, he looked pretty dapper, so I wasn’t complaining and I’m pretty sure Perrie wasn’t either. They chatted and giggled by themselves in a corner oblivious to what was happening around them, love was definitely in the air.
                          
Then there was Harry and Danielle, they went around introducing everyone to their little boy who was extremely and dangerously cute. Danielle seemed to be in high spirits and content with her life. We had buried the hatchet a few weeks after her baby was born, she seemed to be new person ever since she Gordon came into her life. It was also awesome seeing Harry playing his new role as a dad so calmly and with so much poise. He seemed to be great at it too. What a happy family. I thought to myself.
                          
My eyes scrolled towards Louis, he was talking loudly with a group of friends that included Niall attacking all the finger food. I couldn’t help but remember the time Louis dragged me down to Venice and I giggled lightly to myself. Good times. (A/N: You would only know about that if you read One Thing)
                          
Seemed like all my best friends were present, well except Tom. I wondered where he could be, he was the type to arrive really early for such events. He hadn’t replied to any of my texts so I just figured that he was on his way.
                          
In the midst of the crowd were a bunch of our other acquaintances and friends like Ed Sheeran (who was also going to perform), Little Mix, Ellie Goulding, The Wanted, Cara Delevigne, Ashley Cole among others.
                          
“Babe, Angie... Liam wants to introduce you guys to his new girlfriend so come along,” Andy Samuels said drifting my attention, before dragging us to where Liam was.
                          
“Oh hey guys, how’s the hot mama doing?” Liam was so enthusiastic, his smile electric. He didn’t just look happy I mean I could tell that he unquestionably and genuinely was happy.
                          
“I’d like you to meet Sophia,” he introduced and she shyly put out her hand for a handshake but Zara just pulled her into a bear hug. We don’t do handshakes around here.
