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.

@Louis_Tomlinson Is it ours?! 👶🏻

And then Dominos had to get in on the action as well.

#OhNoLouis How could you do this to us, @Louis_Tomlinson? And with @PizzaHutUK as well! 😱💔 #StillLoveYouThough

And it went on and on and on ...

@Dominos_UK You guys can see the baby on Sundays and every fourth Tuesday. We'll provide nappies. That okay, @Louis_Tomlinson? #OhNoLouis

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.

#LouisTomlinson is having a baby. This totally wouldn't have happened if Zayn just stayed in the damn band!!! #ZAYNHASNOCHILL

Damn Louis was so desperate for a fifth member he went and made one

— Clara (@Jetblackxmuke) July 14, 2015

And most were simply distraught.

I'm a good person. I've mostly done right. What did I DO to DESERVE THIS PAIN @Louis_Tomlinson

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.
