Chapter 23

I had sent him a quick text, and he said he would come over right away.
I was glad I could see him.
Maybe I would finally get him back.
~
We talked the whole night.
He told me he had broken up with Eleanor.
Yup, I was talking about Louis.
I still had feelings for him.
My ultra sound date came around,
and it was finally the 31^st of October.
I invited Harry to the ultrasound; I haven’t seen him since the day I kicked him out.
I stayed home and did the usual, just lie around and watch TV.
I dropped out of school, and I quit my job.
Liam had been giving me money each week.
I still hadn’t talked to my parents in soon to be half a year.
They couldn’t ignore me forever, right?
I got ready because it was almost time to leave.
I put on a black tank top, and an orange sweater.
I put on some loose jeans, and a pair of brown Uggs.
I had started shopping for clothes at the maternity store, and I got lots of dirty looks for my age.
I hopped in my piece of crap car, and drove to the doctor’s office.
Harry was in the lobby waiting for me.
We made eye contact, but he didn’t say a thing.
I’m still surprised he showed up.
We walked in to the office, as my name was being called.
I did the usual, and laid down on the bed for the ultrasound.
I lifted up my shirt, as he put the cold gel on my stomach.
Harry sat on the other side of the room, staring at the ground.
The doctor started scanning around, but his mouth dropped after a few minutes.
“Let me just go get somebody.” He said leaving the room.
Harry gave me a confused look and I just shrugged.
An older lady came in to the room moments later, followed by Dr. Learner.
She smiled at me, and looked at the screen where the baby was supposed to be.
Her smile turned into a frown, and she nodded her head towards Dr. Learner.
What was going on?
She sat down in the chair next to me, and held my hand.
I lifted my body up so I was lying down anymore.
“I’m so sorry honey; your baby didn’t make it.” She told me.
There goes the only thing I really had left.

Chapter 22

Today was the first day of school. 
They day everyone would see me again. 
Where everybody would judge me. 
But I couldn't let them get to me.
I shouldn’t believe them when they call me cruel words.
But I had a feeling, they were right.
All of my other friends stopped talking to me.
What if Shannon stopped talking to me?
Then I would have no one.
And I really need someone right now.
I woke up, and Harry was still sleeping on the other side of the bed.
I got up slowly so I wouldn’t wake him.
I got changed quickly, did my makeup and brushed my hair and teeth.
I didn’t even bother to eat because I was already fat enough.
I ran out to my car, and drove quickly off to school.
I got out of my crappy car, already drawing attention.
I heard snickers, and I saw stares.
People cupping their hands to whisper something to their friend next to them.
I tried my best to ignore them, but it difficult.
I made my way to my first class, ignoring everybody.
None of my “friends” talked to me, or even made eye contact around with me.
Lunch came around, and nobody I knew was in my lunch.
Yup, it was time to leave.
I’m dropping out of High School.
~
“What’s wrong?” Harry said; as I came through the door with tear filled eyes.
“I dropped out.” I told him softly.
“Well you would eventually, right?” Harry asked.
“Damn Harry! You don’t understand!” I yelled, running to the bed room door.
Harry opened the door right back up, great.
“I’m sorry Emily.” He said, sitting down next to me on the bed.
“But I need to tell you something.” Harry said.
“What?” I asked him scared.
“I’m dating someone now, her name is Rita.” Harry told me.
I was dead silent.
I thought he loved me?
 “I hope you don’t mind, do you?” Harry asked
. “Actually I do.” I told him mumbling, starting to cry again.
“Huh?” Harry asked confused, thinking I wouldn’t kick him out or do anything bad to him.
“Harry, I love you. I thought you loved me too.” I said.
“I love our baby.” He said.
“I think you need to leave.” I said to him.
His mouth dropped, I can’t believe I just kicked him out.
The man that I was in love with, I kicked out.
“Fine.” He said now angrily, grabbing his bag and started to pack.
I spaced out, as my mind went crazy with all kinds of thoughts.
Eventually, Harry finally left.
I didn’t know if I made the right decision or not.
I think I would have to take care of this baby on my own now.
But, maybe I didn’t have to.
I called someone up later that day, somebody really important to me.
It wasn’t Liam, or Shannon, or my parents.
Nobody that you think I could rely on next.

Chapter 21

Harry was silent for a minute, I was nervous for his reply.
He wanted to live with me a month ago, why would he change his mind?
He smiled, “Yes.” He told me. I screamed on the inside, I couldn’t explain my happiness.
“Great!” I said.
“I’ll grab my stuff, and move on over, I guess!” Harry told me.
I smiled, hugged him and left.
The man I loved was moving in with me.
I got dressed into a sexy, slim dress, and some high heels.
The dress was tight, so you could see some of my baby bump.
Damn, I really didn’t wanna get fat.
But soon I would have my perfect baby, right?
I made Harry’s favorite food, Tacos.
I had candles all around my dining room table, and I lowered the lights.
About half an hour later, Harry walked in with one suitcase.
“My mom will drop off the rest tomorrow.” Harry said, as he put his bag down.
He looked at me, and bit his lip.
“You look beautiful Emily.” He smiled.
I blushed, and took his hand and led him to the table.
“Wow, this is amazing.” Harry mumbled.
“Just a little gift.” I said.
We sat down, talking the whole night and eating.
“I can’t believe this is happening.” I mumbled to myself.
Harry heard me, “What?” He asked.
“Don’t you think this is all happening really fast?”
“Yeah, but we are having a child. Things kind of need to happen fast.” Harry told me.
He was right.
It was around midnight and I had work in the morning.
We got changed into our pajamas, and realized we had a problem.
“I guess I’ll sleep on the couch.” Harry said.
“No, it’s fine. You can sleep in my bed.”
I said, trying not to sound too needy.
“Okay, I guess that will work.” He said.
He climbed into bed next to me, and put his arm around my neck, and fell asleep.
I giggled, as he continued to cuddle me and snore.
Noises were going on outside, as I tried to fall asleep as I thought it was just the wind.
The noises became clearer, and I removed Harry’s arm from my body, and went outside the room just to check what it was.
I screamed, as I saw someone’s head moving from my porch door.
I panicked, but the face came clearer.
All I could tell now it was a man, with shaggy brown hair and minor facial hair.
I got closer, realizing it was somebody that I knew.
It was Louis.
I opened the door and confusion, why was he here?
He was soaked, since it was pouring outside.
“What are you doing here?!” I asked him.
“We need to talk.” Louis said.
I looked at him confusingly, and ran to get him a towel.
I wrapped it around him, and gave him some hot coco.
“What’s wrong?” I asked him.
It didn’t end well between us, but I still cared about him.
“I just woke up, and I feel terrible about how things ended between us.” Louis said.
He hadn’t talked to me since the day we broke up.
It was not a happy day for me.
He had gotten back with his ex-girlfriend Eleanor, which broke my heart a little bit.
“I do too.” I said.
“I’m sorry for what I said to you, I was a complete as.” Louis said.
“No, I deserved it.”
“No you didn’t.” Lou said.
“I cheated on you, with your best friend!” I said.
“Yeah, but that was really rude what I said to you.” Louis said.
“We both said some pretty cruel things Lou.” I told him.
He nodded his head and agreed.
“I cared about you so much, and I just wanted to let you know that.” Louis said.
I cared about him too, well, I still do.
There was a moment of silence, and I didn’t know what to say next.
So I kissed him.
On the cheek.
He went home, and I was proud of not taking him back.
He was happy with Eleanor.
And I was going to make things right with Harry.

Chapter 19

I woke up the next morning, ready for work.
I got changed in my Vet Tech clothes, which looked like a nurse’s outfit.
I tied my hair up in a ponytail, and didn’t even do my makeup.
I walked out of my apartment, and work wasn’t that bad.
I took care of some horses, well with the help of a vet.
I got home around 4, changing into some regular clothes.
I heard a knock on my door, and it was Liam.
He was carrying some grocery bags.
“I went grocery shopping for you!” Liam said, placing the bags down.
“Thanks!” I told him.
We sat down on the couch as he handed me a coffee.
“So, you should probably schedule an ultrasound soon.” Liam told me.
“Yeah, I already did for tomorrow afternoon.” I said.
“Can I come?” He asked.
“Sure.” I said.
“Who else is coming?”
“Probably just you and Shannon.”
“What about Harry?”
“I don’t know.”
“Well, he is the father he probably wants to come.”
“This is all too much for me.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know if I want to be with Harry or not.”
“Well, better make up your mind soon!” Liam told me.
He was right.
~
I had taken the day off from work so I could go to the ultra sound.
Shannon had picked me up, and Liam would meet us there.
We went, and the office was completely empty.
Good, there would be no paparazzi.
“Good Afternoon Emily, ready to come in?” The doctor asked me.
“Yup!” I said as Liam and Shannon followed me into the office.
“I’m just going to need you to lay down for me.” He said, and I did.
“Is this the father?” The doctor asked, looking at Liam.
He clearly wasn’t updated with Pop Media’s news.
I laughed, “No, he’s my brother.” I asked.
“Will the father be joining us then?” He asked.
“No, I didn’t invite him.” I said.
The doctor gave me a weird look, “Okay, let’s begin. He lifted up my shirt, putting that cold jelly stuff on my stomach.
Liam held my hand, and Shannon held my other one.
An image came on the screen, and I started to tear up.
“Here is your baby, that’s the leg and the arms, and somewhat the head.” The doctor said.
“I’ll get you some copies of pictures so you can show your family.” The doctor said, leaving the room. I wiped the gel of my stomach, and stood up.
“You should give some of the pictures to Harry at least.” Liam told me.
The doctor handed me the pictures, and we left.
“Wait, drop me off here.” I said as Shannon drove by Harry’s house.
“Okay, want me to wait outside?” She asked.
I nodded my head no, and got out of the car.
I started to shake as I entered Harry’s house.
He answered the front door with a smile.
“Come in.” He said, and I followed him to his living room.
“I had my first ultrasound today.” I said.
“Oh.” Harry said, sounding hurt I didn’t invite him.
“Here are some pictures.” I said, handing them to him.
He smiled down at them, and I smiled too.
“It’s beautiful.” He said laughing.
I laughed too, “Yeah, I wish I knew the gender!” I told him.
“No! Don’t find it out yet, I want it to be a surprise.” He said.
I laughed, “Okay.”
“I really want to be a part of its life, you know that right?”
“Yeah, but it’s all so much Harry.”
“I don’t care, I love this baby.” Harry told me.
I was silent.
“Maybe we don’t love each other, but we could be great parents together.” Harry said, holding my hand.
He didn’t love me? Well now, I was pretty sure I loved him.

Chapter 18

The next morning, I was all over the headlines.
“LIAM PAYNE’S SISTER HAVING HARRY STYLE’S KID: BREAKING NEWS.”
Great, Louis probably told the press in anger.
Also, today I had my job interview.
That’s probably gonna be the first thing they ask me; “Are you pregnant?”
I got changed into a cute floral dress, probably the last time I would be wearing it for a while.
I curled my hair, did my makeup, and left.
I started to walk, figuring I couldn’t do this every day while I was pregnant.
I really needed my license.
I walked into the small office, on a corner of Main Street.
“Ello!” The man said to me at the front desk, with one of the thickest British Accents I’ve ever heard. “Hi.” I said with a smile.
“You must be Emily! Come into my office dear!” He said happily.
I sat down in his office chair, while shaking his hand.
“I’m Max Ferguson, but just call me Max!” He said.
“I’m Emily Payne, just call me Emily.” I said while he laughed.
“So, you’re interested in the Vet Tech assistant, correct?” Max asked.
I nodded my head.
“Well Emily, it’s quite a difficult job. But such a small pay. Are you up for that?” He asked.
I nodded my head again.
“Well great! What kind of experience do you have!?” He asked.
“Uhm, well, I used to have a horse. Also, I have a pet dog.” I told him.
“Sounds good enough for me! Not many people apply, ya know.” Max told me.
“You got the job!” He told me.
I smiled, “Thanks so much!” I said.
“Just fill out this forum, and you’ll start training next week.” Max told me.
I filled out the forum.
“Oh, I kind of left something out.” I told Max.
“What is it doll?” He asked.
“I’m pregnant.” I told him.
“Oh, how far along are you?” He asked.
“Only a month.” I told him.
“Well, you got the job. We’ll see where things go from here.” He told me.
“Thanks so much!” I said again.
I walked home, and took a short nap since I’ve been losing sleep lately.
I heard a knock on my door around 5.
I figured it was Shannon or Liam.
Nope. It was Harry.
“Come in.” I said quietly.
Harry sat down on my couch, as I sat next to him.
He didn’t say anything at first.
“What are we gonna do?” Harry asked me.
“I don’t know.” I told him.
“Please don’t get an abortion.” He mumbled.
I laughed, and he giggled too.
“I won’t.” I told him.
“I wanna help you.” He told me.
“No you don’t.” I said.
“Yes, I do, I wanna be here for you.” He said.
I smiled, he was too sweet.
“Well, I guess you can.” I told him.
“Great, when do I move in?” He asked. I laughed,
“I never said anything about moving in!” I said.
“Do you want to come and live with me?” Harry asked.
“Harry, this is all so much.” I told him.
“Well, we are having a kid.” He told me.
“I need time to think.” I said.

Chapter 16

The apartment complex was only about an hour walk.
I didn’t mind it.
But what the hell was I supposed to do next?
I was a sixteen year old girl and I was on my own.
I didn’t even want to tell Louis, knowing he would hate me forever.
I finally got to the apartment, as I threw my suitcase on the ground.
The apartment was nice.
It had two bed rooms, and a master bathroom.
A nice living room and a big kitchen.
I started to unpack my stuff, knowing I would be here for a while.
It was one in the morning, so I decided to go to bed.
What am I going to do with myself next?
~
I woke up the next morning, figuring I could use a job close by.
I took out the Sunday newspaper from my side cabinet and hunted for a job.
I found one that makes ten bucks an hour, but works with animals.
At least I would get to do something I love.
I called them up, and they told me I had an interview tomorrow morning.
My phone had been ringing all morning, but I figured it was from Liam so I ignored it.
I finally checked it.
Two missed calls from Liam, One missed call from Shannon, and 7 texts from Louis.
Oh my god Shannon and Louis.
The two people closest from me didn’t even know what was going on.
I figured I would tell Shannon first, I couldn’t tell Louis.
Shannon would never judge, and I bet she could help me out a bit.
I shot her a text, letting her know I was at Liam’s apartment and that I needed her here.
She came over about an hour afterwards, with some Starbucks in her hands.
“What’s up chicka?” Shannon said happily, opening the door.
“Why the hell are you here?” She asked, sitting down and handing me my coffee.
“My parents kicked me out…” I told her.
“Oh my god!! Why??” Shannon asked raising her voice.
“Shannon, I really need to tell you the real reason I went to the doctor’s yesterday.” I said.
“What’s wrong?” She asked.
“I’m-I’m pregnant.” I said stumbling it out.
Her mouth dropped in awed, and at first she didn’t say anything.
“Have you told Louis yet?” Shannon asked.
“No.” I told her.
But Shannon didn’t know he wasn’t the baby daddy, only Liam did.
“But he isn’t the father…..” I told her.
“What?” She said quietly as her mouth dropped again.
“Harry.” I said quietly as I started to cry again.
Her eyes went huge in shock.
