Beyond That

Chapter 51, "Christmas Eve Reveal"

Christmas Eve !!!

Kara's POV

Today was officially Christmas Eve and I was not even feeling good. I don't know why this baby decided to kick my ass the day I find out the gender but I thinks not. Jayda had spent almost all night making a cake so I guess the color is going to be inside, hell I don't know but if this baby continues then we can just cancel.

On the brighter side, there were like hundreds of gifts under the tree so we had to redecorate and move some stuff around. Everyone got everyone something which wasn't too surprising but it definitely was a lot.

Jkjkkjjk.

Everyone woke up around the same time so we could take showers and get dressed in our pajamas. We all were gonna do partnered onesies but we went with the regular black and red plaid family pajamas. Any other year we would be spontaneous but not this year due to obvious reasons.

"Ouuu," I grunted, holding my stomach.

"You sure you're fine?" Zayn asked.

"Take it out," I frowned angrily.

"Kara be serious," he laughed. Little does he know I am being serious, this shit hurts. I've never felt kicks or pains like this so what the hell is going on? I'm only 4 months babe.

"I'm scared," I admitted. I didn't want to think the worse but that's what always seems to happen.

"Baby please don't go there," he sighed, "Just don't."

"I know you've thought about it."

"Doesn't mean I'm going to say it out loud. We've come to far for..."

"Have we?"

"Kara stop or I'm leaving the room," he threatened like I was supposed to be scared and take back what I said. It doesn't work like that and obviously somethings wrong.

"Shouldn't we be prepared for?..." I started but I quickly stopped myself when his jaw clenched up and his hands made a fist.

"Fucking stop. We're going to enjoy this day and find out if it's a boy or girl. Stay positive, can you do that?" he asked a bit too calmly.

"Fine. I'm sorry."

We finished getting dressed in silence, I guess cause he was mad but there's a reason I've been feeling these pains and how could he expect me not to think the worst after all that's happened this damn year. But he's right, it's Christmas Eve, we're about to find out the gender, so everything should be fine.

About 20 minutes later, we all met up in the living room, fully clothed and ready to do our little family photo shoot. We took a couple good pictures before things started getting rowdy.

"This is annoying, I want to go play with my dolls," Hannah whined.

"Same," Niall agreed.

"You have dolls?" I laughed.

"Not me," Zayn shrugged.

Just not yet.

"Smile in 3, 2, 1," the photographer commanded before snapping the picture revealing that bright ass flash.

"Owww," I grunted.

"Kara what's wrong?" Maya asked.

"I- leave me alone," I sighed, "Owww."

"C'mon we're going to the hospital," Zayn said, grabbing my arm and holding me up.

"No," I snapped. "Absolutely not. I'm fine, I just need some water."
