One Direction fans are in a social media frenzy after news broke that Louis Tomlinson could soon be a dad.
With a vocal contingent of 1D fans active on Twitter, it's not surprising that some great zingers have come out of this surprising announcement.
Even pizza chains are getting in on the fun.
Pizza Hut UK suspected it might be more a case of a food baby, rather than an actual human child.
And then Dominos had to get in on the action as well.
And it went on and on and on ...
Clearly this was a massive moment for Directioners, who imagined describing it to their grandchildren one day.
Many brought up that old 'Harry and Louis are lovers' rumour which refuses to die and even has the cute nickname Larry Stylinson.
Others chose to blame Zayn Malik, who left the band earlier this year.
And most were simply distraught.
However, this outpouring of grief could all be for nothing - there's still no word from Tomlinson or his management that the baby rumours are true.
