Harry:

"We should start picking baby names." Harry stated as he walked into the living room where you were currently sleeping. After a minute, you didn't respond. "Baby, I said we should start picking names." Harry said a bit louder, making your eyes flutter open and sit up, rubbing your eyes.

"What?" You mumbled as you leaned up against the arm of the couch. You looked at Harry to see he had a guilty look on his face as he came and sat next to you.

"Oh (Y/N) I didn't know you were sleeping. Sorry. Here, we'll pick names later." Harry mumbled as he was about to get up, you stopped him.

"No, it's fine. We should start picking or we won't do it later." You smiled, still trying to rub the sleep from your eyes.

"Okay, I'll go get the laptop." He grinned as he kissed your forehead and went to get the computer. You nodded and went to make yourself comfortable with the pillows.

After a few seconds, Harry was walking back into the room with the computer turned on. He sat next to you, pulling you into his lap.

"Okay, lets see what we got here." He breathed, reasing his head on your shoulder as he scrolled through the names. You also scanned through and one caught your eye.

"Stop. Right there." You pointed. "Aiden." You breathed as you kept repeating it over and over again in your head.

" Aiden Styles." He said. You could sense a smile spread across his face. "What about the middle name?" He asked. You thought long and hard about this, but then a name came in mind.

"What about Aiden Robin Styles." You said as you turned your head to look at Harry.

"You would name our son after my stepdad?" He asked. You nodded and smiled. "Thank you." He whispered as he kissed the side of your head, making you blush. "Aiden Robin Styles." He repeated.



Louis:

You and Louis were sitting in the lounge room with a book full of names for the baby. You were half way through the book and still didn't find anything that would suit the baby.

"What about Harper?" You asked. Louis shook his head.

"Layla?" He asked. You shook you head in response.

"How about Jasmine?" He shook his head. "How are we going to find one? This is so hard." You groaned and rubbed your face with your hands. Louis rubbed your back soothingly and brought you in for a side hug.

"We'll find one." He said as he flipped another page and as he scanned through it he nudge you a bit. "What about Emma?" He asked. Your head looked up and you saw the name Louis had pointed to. You nodded your head.

"What about Emma Jay Tomlinson?" Louis' eyes became more bluer than usual.

"Mum's nickname. She'd love that." He smiled as he pecked your cheek, making you blush and giggle as you snuggled into his side more. "Emma Jay Tomlinson."



Zayn:

"But I want their names to be cultural." You said as you flippe through the books Trish had lended you and Zayn to look for baby names for the boys.

"What about the middle name is cultural and the names can be anything. You name one and I name one." Zayn suggested. You thought about it and it seemed like a good idea.

"Okay, but only if they're good names." You stated firmly, pointing a finger at Zayn. He chuckled and kissed your forehead, going through the list of names and so did you.

"I got one." He said.

"Already?" You giggle.

"Yep, and it's Ethan Hari Malik." He said, looking up at you with a small smile.

"It sounds good. What does Hari mean?" You asked.

"It means guardian, protector." He said looking up at you.

"Perfect. This is mine Eli Zayan Malik. Zayan means bright and it sounds close to yours." You smiled as you placed the books down on the coffee table. You leaned back on the couch and Zayn put his hands on your stomach.

"Ethan Hari and Eli Zayan Malik." He spoke, earning 2 kicks in response. "They like it."



Liam:

"Hey baby!" Liam called from down the hall, making his way to the kitchen where you where sitting on a stool and drinking a mug of coffee.

"Yeah?" You asked as Liam came and stood next to you with a smile on his face.

"I was thinking of a few baby names and I came up with 2. One for a girl and one for a boy since we don't know what the gender is." You nodded for to continue. "I came up with Misteria Eve Payne and Mason Andrew Payne." He finished. You thought about the names for a while before hopping off your seat and walking over to Liam, pulling him in for a hug.

"They sound perfect." You mumbled into his chest. He chuckled lightly and leaned down to peck your lips.

"Thanks honey." He smiled. "You done with that?" He asked as he pointed towards your empty coffee mug. You nodded. "Want another one?" Liam asked as he picked it up. You nodded once again and watched him make you another cup along for himself.



Niall:

"I have a name for our baby girl." Niall blurted out as you ate dinner.

"You do?" You asked as he blushed and continued to eat. "Tell me." You egged on.

"Ava Maura Horan." He said as he continued to eat, still blushing. A long silence took over the both of you. If you don't like it we can chan-"

"No! I like it. I'm glad you chose to name her after your Mum because we both know my Dad won't like it, plus it sounds beautiful." You smiled as you leaned over to peck his cheek.

"Thank you. I really want to go shopping for the Ava." He said.

"Fine Ni. This Saturday?" You asked. He nodded and smiled, taking both of your empty plates to the kitchen, leaving a small kiss on your forehead.
