A/N: Listen to the song, I think it sets a mood or something like that cause I wrote all of this whole thing listening to this song, maybe some of the lyrics have nothing to do with the story but anyway, listen to it! :)

Chapter 7

"Lou, honey wake up! It's dinner time!"

"I don't want to!"

"C'mon, you need to eat something love!"

"Are the girls here? It's really quiet!"

"They're spending the night at their friends, you and I have to talk about what you're gonna do!"

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute!"

Louis waited until his mum was out of the room then got up to the bathroom and locked the door, he stood in front of the mirror and took off his shirt and stared down at his stomach twisting and turning around to various angles, but a bump wasn't visible yet so he just put his shirt back on and went downstairs. Jay was already waiting for Louis with a table set for two and two plates full of food.

"So, what are you gonna do Lou?" Jay asked.

"I was thinking about going to school until I start showing, get a job, tell the girls, Niall, and Zayn once I have proof that I am really pregnant. Oh and I was thinking about doing online classes!" Louis said not even pausing to take a breath then shoving a piece of broccoli into his mouth.

"Okay...I agree with you about school, online classes and about telling them but not with getting a job Lou. You're pregnant and you need to take care of yourself and the baby!" Jay slowly said.

"But how am I gonna pay for everything he's gonna need mum? I can't let you pay for everything, that's Harr-that's my responsibility!" Louis corrected himself mentally cursing for even thinking about Harry.

"It's not easy to raise a baby Lou, especially if you're a single parent!" Jay explained trying to knock some sense into Louis about telling Harry.

"Can we just, you know, take it slowly? Who do I make an appointment with for check ups and all that crap?" Louis asked completely oblivious and Jay chuckled.

"Umm, don't worry about that, I'll set one up for you next week!" Jay said.

"Thanks mum!" Louis said and continued eating.

~*~

The following Monday Louis woke up feeling extremely nauseous and with a horrible headache, he felt bile rising up to his throat and immediately ran to the toilet where he vomited until his throat was raw.

Once he was done he flushed the toilet and brushed his teeth then walked down to the kitchen where he knew he would find his mum, she was standing in front of the stove making what looked like pancakes while humming a tune, Louis could hear his sisters upstairs getting ready for school.

"Morning mum! I don't feel good, can I stay home?" Louis asked feeling his head throbbing.

"Morning baby, you have an appointment today at noon with the same Obsterician who delivered you! What's wrong?" Jay said placing the last pancake on a plate full of them then turning the stove off.

"Well, I puked again and it feels like my head's gonna explode!" Louis said sitting down on a chair in the kitchen table and served himself some pancakes and milk.

"I'm sorry honey, good thing we're going to the doctor today!" Jay said kissing Louis' forehead.

"Don't you have to work today mum?"

"I have the day off sweetheart! GIRLS, HURRY UP, YOU CAN'T BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" Jay yelled making Louis flinch.

After they were done eating and his mum was dropping off the girls Louis took his sweet time showering, he began thinking if not telling Harry was the right thing to do but he couldn't bring himself to tell him. Louis had to grow up without a father and to be honest it wasn't fun at all and now there he was, doing the same thing to his unborn child but still he wouldn't say a thing to Harry even if he had to stay inside his house to avoid being seen by Harry or Liam who Louis didn't doubt would tell Harry about him being pregnant.

He was lucky he wasn't showing yet, that gave him time to do stuff he needed to do before he couldn't hide his pregnancy anymore from Harry and the whole entire school population, especially from the other father himself. He decided he was done showering and got out wrapping a towel around his waist looking for something to wear, he noticed his phone on the floor noticing he had a message from Zayn asking him where he was, if he was feeling okay and if he was coming to school. He texted him back asking him to come over after school with Niall, he had to tell them soon because they were his friends and Louis just hoped for the best.

Soon it was already noon and Louis and Jay were sitting in the doctors office waiting for Dr. Summers, she was Jay's OB/Gyn and had delivered Louis and the girls thus knowing about Louis' condition. Louis was a nervous mess because even though he had his mum there he wanted Harry there too, he wanted him to be there holding his hand with anticipation of seeing their baby they had managed to create together but he had made a choice and there was no going back.

He kept bouncing his knees up and down but stopped when he heard a knock on the door then a pretty tall woman with long blond straight hair and green eyes, not as pretty as Harry's, walked in hugging Jay then turning to look at Louis.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Summers. It's nice to see you again Louis!" She said shaking his hand.

"Oh yeah, you're the doctor that totally saw my bits when I was born!" Louis said blushing.

"That's me. So why don't we start with some questions, tell me, how are you feeling?"

"Well I feel okay now, other than the fact that I'm a pregnant dude I'm fine!"

"Just know that you aren't the only one, male pregnancy is possible but very rare," Dr. Summers explained. "I see they already took your weight, height and blood pressure so why don't you hop up here so I can check you then we'll do a sonogram to take a look at your baby!"

"I was wondering, when can I find out what I'm having?" Louis asked sitting on the examination table.

"Usually around your 20th week. What do you want, boy or girl?" She asked checking Louis' vitals then motioned for him to lay down and lift up his shirt.

"I would really really love a boy! When do you think I'll start showing?"

"Well every pregnancy is different but it's usually between the 12th and 16th week mark. Ok this will be a little cold!" She said putting the cold gel on Louis' stomach making him hiss.

"Okay, let's find your baby," Dr. Summers said lowering the wand. "Where are you...aha, there you are!"

Louis turned to look at the screen where he could see a tiny blob and his eyes began watering because that was his baby and he already loved the tiny innocent thing heal so much, he looked at his mum who was wiping away some tears. The crying was intensified when Dr. Summers pushed a button and a soft and very fast thump filled the room.

"Is it okay?" Louis asked.

"It's perfectly healthy, he or she is about the size of a bean, completely healthy! Do you guys want a picture?" She asked freezing the screen and removing the wand wiping his stomach with a towel.

"Can I have four?" Louis asked.

"Of course, I'll be right back!" She said leaving the room.

"Why do you want that many Lou?" Jay asked as soon as Dr. Summers was out of the room.

"Two for Zayn and Niall, one to pass it around and another for me to create an album!" Louis explained nervously playing with a loose thread on his shirt.

"It's for Harry, isn't it?" Jay asked matter of factly causing Louis to blush a deep red.

"No, why would I save one for him mum?" Louis asked.

"Honey I know you! I know that deep inside you're wishing for Harry to be here and he would if you weren't too stubborn!" Jay said shaking her head.

Louis was about to argue when he heard a knock then Dr. Summers walking in with four pictures giving them to Louis then sitting down reading and filling out some forms.

"Okay Louis...I need to know, is the other father going to be around?" Dr. Summers asked.

"Umm, no! Why?" Louis asked.

"Well since this baby is half you half him I was hoping you both could come to your next appointment in a month to answer some questions to help me help you have a healthy pregnancy!"

"What kind of questions?"

"Family health history. I also would like to do a blood and urine test just to check that everything is okay!"

"I can assure you that the other father is completely healthy so am I, and we can do those tests done now!" Louis said chewing on his bottom lip.

After the tests were done, questions were asked and answered, and Louis was giving prenatal as well as hormone pills since he is a guy and his body still needs an extra boost to help his baby grow healthy, they were finally able to leave, school was almost out and Louis was so nervous because that meant telling his friends and sisters.

Thankfully his mum had offered to take the girls out to eat and give Louis privacy with Zayn and Niall and while he waited looking out through the window and eating a sandwich he noticed Harry and Liam walking by-since Harry lived five houses down and great, how was Louis gonna hide his pregnancy with Harry so close by. But that wasn't what bothered Louis, why was Harry walking home? And with Liam? Was that a bruise on Harry's left cheek bone? What the hell happened to him?

He stared until he couldn't see them anymore then went back to the kitchen to get some water and while he drank he couldn't help but worry about Harry, he wanted to know what had happened and after a while he just decided to ask Zayn and Niall. A few minutes later he heard his friends knocking on the door and laughing obnoxiously, he opened the door and was greeted and hugged by his best mates.

"So what did you wanted to tell us?" Niall asked heading for the kitchen then going through Louis' fridge getting out four slices of pizza, giving two to Zayn who took them gladly.

"Uh, first I wanna ask you guys; What happened to Harry? I saw him walking by with Liam when he usually rides his car!" Louis asked and watched how serious Zayn and Niall went.

"Yeah...about that, it was nothing big!" Zayn said rubbing the back of his neck and chewing on his bottom lip, a sign that he was nervous.

"Zayn...What happened? Niall?" Louis asked turning to look at Niall who sighed before he began speaking.

"It was that ass hole Mason, you know how he is. Well, he was talking shit about you, saying you were a slut and a fag. Harry heard him and got pissed off so he punched him and Mason punched him back. Harry threatened to beat the shit out of him if he kept talking about you like that!" Niall said biting into the pizza.

"Then the fucker sliced his tires and he had to walk home!" Zayn continued.

By the time Zayn was done talking Louis was extremely angry and seeing red but all of that vanished when he felt a sharp pain below his navel and his legs gave out, luckily Zayn was close to him and caught him before he could hit the floor.

Louis could faintly hear Zayn and Niall calling his name because all he could think about was his unborn baby, his precious baby, the only thing he had of Harry. He let out a sharp cry wrapping his arms around his stomach as if the action would keep his precious baby safe, and as fast as the pain had started it stopped leaving Louis breathing hard and sweating.

"LouLou, are you okay? What's wrong?" Niall asked wiping a tear from his eye.

"I'm- I'm okay!" Louis said trying not to freak out Niall even more.

"Can you get up?" Zayn asked with his hands already around Louis' chest trying to lift him up.

"Yeah!" Louis said getting up as if nothing had happened and sat on the kitchen table motioning for the other two boys to sit down too, he waited until they were seating then took out the two sonogram pictures and handed them to the two confused boys watching their eyes widening in surprise.

"Louis William Tomlinson I told you to use protection! Who did you knocked up?" Zayn asked in disbelief.

"Uh...Zayn? I think...I think the real question here is who knocked you up Louis William Tomlinson?" Niall said pointing to the name on the top right corner that clearly read in tiny white print 'Louis William Tomlinson, 8 week old embryo, 1/2 in.'

"But...how...are you pregnant Lou?" Zayn asked completely surprised.

"I...Yeah! Surprise motherfuckers!" Louis said trying to lighten the mood and waiting for them to laugh at him and insult him but not expecting at all what happened next; Zayn and Niall threw themselves at him into a group hug congratulating him and touching his stomach expecting to feel a bump and groaning when they felt nothing.

"So you guys don't hate me or think I'm a freak?"

"Of course not mate, Greg's best friend had a baby and he's a guy too!" Niall said smiling so big you thought his face might rip at any moment.

"Nah mate, I can't wait to meet my nephew or niece, call dibs as godfather!" Zayn said earning a 'yeah right' from Niall.

"You guys have no idea how relieved I am, I thought you guys were gonna think I'm a freak and leave me!" Louis said looking down at his lap.

"Never!" Zayn gasped.

"So...uh, Lou? Who's the other father?" Niall asked fearing the answer for some reason.

"I-its Harry!" Louis admitted.

"Oh thank god!" Zayn sighed rubbing his forehead completely relieved.

"What do you mean with 'oh thank god'?" Louis asked completely upset. "Was that suppossed to be an insult?"

"No, no Lou. It's just that, you should've seen Harry today, he was completely emotionless not giving a damn about anything until he heard what Mason said. He really do loves you, you know? It would've destroyed him to find out you are pregnant with someone else's baby, but it's his so I think everything will be okay!" Zayn explained.

"He's never going to find out Zayn, I'm not gonna tell him. Ever!" Louis muttered.

"And why not Lou? It's his child too. I think he has the right to know!" Niall argued.

"I don't wanna ruin his future, we're only seventeen for fucks sake! I don't want him to think I'm a freak and reject my kid!" Louis said in a small voice trying not to cry.

"He won't Lou, he loves you way too much and I'm pretty sure he will love that little baby too!" Zayn said rubbing Louis' back.

"And you're not a freak Lou!" Niall stated, offering a bite of his pizza to Louis who smiled taking a bite.

"Sorry if I'm being whiney, I'm just scared of what he will think!" Louis apologized.

"He'll probably react just like us but with more enthusiasm since he's the father and all that!" Zayn nodded.

"You should've seen how pissed off he was Lou, it's like he was a whole new person. I've never seen him that violent before, heck, he was never violent whatsoever!" Niall said completely fascinated.

"Well, I've already made my decision and I'm never telling him, you guys can stop with the nagging now!" Louis said.

"And what are you gonna tell him when he asks you who the father is?" Zayn asked.

"He won't because he's never going to find out I'm pregnant," Louis argued getting frustrated with Zayn. "I've got everything under control!"

"Oh really? So tell me Mr. I've got everything under control, how are you gonna hide it if Harry lives in our neighborhood, five houses away and goes to the same school as you. You guys will see each other all the time!" Niall said throwing his arms up in the air.

"My mum and I decided that once I start showing around my 16th week I'm gonna stop going to school and take online classes instead, we only have four more months of school anyway and I'll be in my sixth month by then and I guess I could just stay inside and avoid him!" Louis sighed.

"Well I just hope that if he ever finds out you denied him the right to know about his baby, all the love he has for you doesn't turn into hate because if that was me in Harry's shoes I'll be so disappointed and pissed off!" Zayn said trying to convince Louis to tell Harry making Louis' chest tighten at the thought of Harry hating him.

"We gotta go Lou, we'll see you tomorrow at school!" Niall said hugging Louis.

"We love you and that little baby!" Zayn said hugging Louis too.

"Bye boys!" Louis sighed.

"Oh and we're taking the first ever picture of my nephew or niece!" Niall said grabbing the two pictures and handing one to Zayn.

"Of course, they're for you to keep!" Louis laughed.

"Are you sure you're okay Lou? With the whole stomach pain earlier?" Zayn asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, it was just a cramp!" Louis explained to the two worried boys standing by the door, they hugged each other before they left leaving Louis alone with his thoughts.

Thirty minutes later when the girls got home Louis had to tell them, which they had a positive reaction with Lottie and Fiz claiming it was going to be a girl and Daisy and Phoebe touching Louis' belly carefully, telling Louis how excited they were for a new playmate even though Jay had explained he or she will be too little for a while and that they had to wait until the baby was big enough to play with, making the girls groan and pout but understanding nonetheless.

~*~

"Boo, can you take us to the park?" Phoebe asked Louis while they were watching tv.

"Oh, um...sure!" Louis said thinking about saying no out of fear of Harry seeing him but he wasn't showing yet so it didn't really mattered.

"Mum the twins and I are going to the park!" Louis yelled to his mum from the living room then grabbed both of his sisters hands and left to the park.

They got there and the twins immediately took off for the swings like always with Louis following behind, he was so focused on swinging the girls when he felt a tiny weight and then tiny arms hugging his right leg, he looked down to see the cutest little girl smiling at him and what looked like candy smeared all around her little mouth leaving a sticky red color. He picked her up and walked back a few feet to avoid getting hit by the moving swings.

"Hi!" The little girl said.

"Hi there, what's your name love?" Louis asked, the little girl about to answer when he heard that oh so familiar voice.

"LUX? Lux! There you are!" Harry said running towards them, his voice and face showing complete relief.

"Hawwy!" Lux said reaching for Harry who took her into his arms hugging her.

"I thought I lost you Luxy Lux, what was I going to tell mummy? Huh?" Harry cooed.

"Dunno!" The little girl said back grabbing Harry's nose and giggling at the funny noise and face Harry made.

"Oh, hi Louis. Thanks for stopping her, she's incredibly fast for a two year old!" Harry said just noticing that Louis was the one who had been holding her.

"You're welcome! Is she...who is she?" Louis asked, did Harry had a daughter he didn't know about?

"She's my cousin's daughter. You remember Lou?" Harry asked taking a wipe out of the bag he was carrying and wiping clean Lux's face with it making her squirm around in his arms.

"Oh yeah! She's a cutie!" Louis said completely relieved that Harry wasn't the father and completely fascinated at how good Harry was with her.

"Hazza, you got a booboo!" Daisy gasped looking at Harry's bruise making Louis uncomfortable.

"Who is she, can we play with her, pretty please!" Phoebe begged looking at Lux.

"Do you wanna play with them love?" Harry asked Lux who nodded furiously. "Just be careful girls, okay?" Harry said putting Lux down then watched them take Lux to the castle.

"Does it hurt?" Louis asked out of nowhere startling Harry.

"What? Oh my cheek? No, not really. Just when I touch it!" Harry said looking at Louis with those green eyes that always took Louis' breath away and Louis found himself hoping for their baby to have Harry's eyes.

"Thanks, for the whole Mason thing!" Louis said blushing.

"Not a problem, the fucker had it coming!" Harry shrugged watching over Lux and the twins.

"So they put you in babysitting duty?" Louis asked.

"Nah, I volunteered. Lou has to do something so I thought why not bring Lux here!" Harry said.

"Oh"

"Are you in babysitting duty!?"

"No, they wanted to come!" Louis said putting his hands on his pockets.

"Listen Lou, I wanted to apologize for leaving you like that that nigh at the party after we...You know! I was confused and scared!" Harry said rubbing the back of his neck.

"It's okay, I get it!" Louis said.

"Just...just know that I still love you okay!" Harry said blushing.

"I love you too Hazza!" Louis smiled feeling happy all over when Harry smiled so big showing his dimples that Louis loved so much.

"Can-Can we just stay here for a little while Lou?" Harry timidly asked.

"Of course!" Louis responded.

They turned their attention back to the girls and Louis couldn't help but wonder if not telling Harry about their baby was the right thing to do, if it was the right decision. He pushed those thoughts to the back of his head because right now all he wanted was to spend some time with his Harry without worrying too much and enjoy it while he could.
