Yay!

Do you think we should start brainstorming as we wait for a reply from Molly?

@ Always Forever;
Fantastic! I'm so sorry guys! I've been super distracted with the beginning of school! Do we wanna start brainstorming?

How bout we come up with our OCs?

Yeah, OCs sound good! I'm voting for 3rd Person POV, only because I don't want the readers to be inside a different characters head and situation every chapter. But I'm good with 1st POV as well!

@ She Said Poptarts
Third Person would be best, I think. And I will get my OC formed soon. I quite want to throw the twist of the stillborn in for mine, if that's okay?

@ She Said Poptarts
Third is good with me (:

@ Halliwell
Sure, that's fine! :D It was just an idea I threw out there.

ALSO! Another idea for a character thing, one of the relationships could've been like, a friends-with-benefits kind of deal, and BAM! Pregnant! And they could be like; "whoa, omg. what do we do? I'm sorry, blah."

I think I'll have my character be afraid of Liam's reaction and scared for his career, and won't tell until she can't really hide the fact anymore. I'll write up my character info tonight, or tomorrow.

@ She Said Poptarts
Oh I like that! I think I'll take that one if no one else wants it?

Okay, awesome! :)
3rd person it is! I'll be getting my character info up in a few minutes, because I have homework so obviously I'm going to be doing character info stuff instead lol(:

Here is my OC!

Korinne 'Kori' Morgan looks young for her 19, and is always mistaken for being 14 years old. This, unfortunately, brings judging looks from strangers when they see her baby bump. When she finds that she is pregnant with Liam's baby, she's scared to tell him, mainly because she knows how the media can be. And not only that, but she also feels like this isn't a way to thank her adoptive parents for bringing her into their life. She's scared for Liam's career, and the relationship she has with her parents, which brings her to the decision if she should keep the baby or not. She can only hide the pregnancy for so long, but fortunately for her, she isn't alone in this situation. She couldn't be more grateful to the rest of the girls who also carry a baby from a member in One Direction.



I also have a question about the story timeline. Are we immediately going to be in the 'support group'? Or are we going to build into it the first couple of chapters?

Also, do our characters all know each other? Have they all met? Or maybe only three of them know of each other, but not the other two? Another thing... can someone be a best friend to my character before her relationship with Liam, like she could meet him through one of your OCs? OH! annnnd, our we going to be making One Direction a bit older? Or keep them the same age?

@ She Said Poptarts

Awesome OC!

Okay, so it depends on how you guys feel. I was thinking maybe we should maybe do some build up but try to get into the support thing within a few chapters. I could know Kori before hand and introduce her to Liam(:

It depends on how the other girls feel and how they want to work their girls into the story, but we could be friends before, or just be meeting for the first time during the pregnancy.

Lastly, keep them the same age?

Oc:

Alexis 'Lexi' Worthington. At the age of 18, Lexi is full of energy and always will spare a smile. She laughs frequently, and loves with her whole heart, which sometimes proves to be not such a good thing. When she finds out she is pregnant, she lets Harry know immediately, choosing to be excited over it instead of letting it chew away at her inside and stress her out. She had been friends with Harry before he became part of One Direction, so she wasn't worried about him running off. She holds her own against fans and media, and even though she's worried about all the attention it could bring on Harry, she doesn't try to keep things a secret. She's extremely excited to get to know the other girls and share this experience with them.

--I'm thinking Lexi is going to have twins--

@ Properly Improper

Oh! I like her, she's gonna be the optimistic one, yeah? :D
Are you going to add these to your first post?

And I never get an alert when you tag us.

@ always forever;
Hi! I was wondering if you're still up for Zayn?

@ She Said Poptarts
Yeah! :)

Sure, I'll do that right now(:

@ She Said Poptarts
@ Properly Improper

I think we should make the boys a bit older than they are. It might work a bit better. With the whole 'support group', as they would generally conceived at different times, thus finding out at different times, at what point is it established? Is one around ten weeks, while another twelve, and then one's in their second trimester, etc.? And I don't think my girl would have known the others before, as both her and Niall are reserved about everything personal such as relationships.

And here's my girl.

Iona Connery is nineteen years old and has known Niall for a while and began dating shortly after turning eighteen. The pregnancy starts off well and even though it wasn't planned, she and Niall know they can handle it both mentally and financially. However, she starts developing complications during the first trimester which leads to the contemplation of abortion, but after being assured she will be able to carry full term despite them, they both drop the thought of abortion. Because of the complications, both she and Niall resolved not to tell anyone about the pregnancy just in case she miscarried, so it's only around the second trimester that anyone other than the two find out. She tries to avoid doing anything that could stress her as it's something she was advised against, so fans and media aren't things she enjoys too well.

@ Halliwell

@ Properly Improper

I'll have Kori maybe at the beginning of her second trimester when she agrees to join the group or maybe at 12-13 weeks?
I still need to think about this...

We should probably talk about the story's timeline, and all of that. 'Cause we can't have our characters have their baby at the same time.
And I want Kori to know that she's pregnant at the start of the story, so the timeline will help decide how far long she'll be.

-- I edited my first post and put the characters there.

@ She Said Poptarts
@ Properly Improper

Iona can only join the group in her second trimester so if the 'support group' is established a few chapters in, it'll give time for the complications and the option of abortion to be brought up and then her reach the second trimester and be assured that she can carry full term, thus allowing them to be able to tell people after the period of a higher chance of miscarriage is over.

With the timeline, we should also date it so that we're accurate with our pregnancy dates and such.

@ She Said Poptarts
@ Properly Improper

Are we still doing this?

@ Halliwell
@ Properly Improper

I'm still in! But we haven't heard from always forever; for Zayn.. Do you think we need to find another author? Or...
