Chapter 8

Harry sat in his bed getting ready to sleep but couldn't because all he could think about was LouisLouisLouis and the strange things that were happening lately, it had already been six weeks since he told Louis he was still in love with him that day at the park and Louis had said he still loved him too.

Weird things had happened that day and a month later he was still thinking about it, like when Daisy said something about getting a new play mate-a little baby and Louis immediately shut her up and casually started talking about school; something Louis never talked about because he hated school with a passion.

The way Louis looked at him when he was playing with the twins and Lux and how his eyes lit up whenever he chased the girls and then picked them up making them laugh, when he bought them all ice cream and both he and Louis took turns feeding it to Lux who still ended up with chocolate ice cream all over her face.

Harry remembered how odd Louis was behaving when he freaked out after Phoebe accidentally bumped her head against his stomach and how she had started crying and saying she didn't meant to hurt it. Hurt what? Then after that he noticed how Louis wrapped his arms around his stomach like he was protecting it and left them there while he tried to calm Phoebe down and after that Louis looked exhausted and Harry decided to drive them to their house in her mum's car.

The following days and weeks everything just got weirder when Zayn invited him and Liam to sit with him, Niall, and Louis at their table and kept looking between Louis and him as if he was observing them searching for something.

Louis began wearing bigger and baggier clothes and every time he saw Louis in the hallway he was always surrounded by Niall and Zayn just as a shield, like they were shielding him as if he could break at any moment and every time Harry would catch Louis' eye he would turn and look at Niall who tilted his head and nodded before Louis lowered his gaze and walked away.

A little after, Harry and Liam were now used to sitting with the other three boys and Louis had even began warming up to Liam and apologised for being a dick to him and Liam like the nicest sweetest guy he was, forgave him right away.

Harry was also beginning to worry about Louis when he started looking exhausted and worn out like he didn't sleep at all and even more when he stopped eating at lunch time claiming he wasn't hungry or had had a big breakfast, he was beginning to think Louis was anorexic. Shaking those thoughts away he finally lay down pulled the covers over him and fell asleep hoping for a good day, it was going to be Friday after all.

~*~

Louis rushed through the halls towards the bathroom feeling like his bladder was about to explode and like he wasn't going to make it, he blamed the chocolate milk he had that morning that he just couldn't resist when Daisy had made it especially for him and the baby and when it smelled and tasted so heavenly.

He reached down to touch his stomach and groaned when he felt the tiny bump protruding in between his hips and realised he had two weeks of school left because there was no way he was going to show up in school with a noticeable bump where anybody could see it, even Harry-to which he was gonna have to start ignoring again in order to keep the baby's existence a secret from him and it hurt to think about it since they were getting close again.

His first class he had with Harry was almost over but he just couldn't hold it anymore and had rushed out of it with Harry making fun of him for having a bladder the size of a squirrel's, he reached the bathroom just as the bell went off signaling the end of first period meaning he had five minutes to pee and get to class on the other side of the building.

Before he reached the toilet he felt his phone vibrate twice and couldn't help himself to see who had messaged him; a message from Zayn saying he and Niall had just left for a trip and would be back before school ended for the day. He replied with an 'ok' since he still had Harry and Liam to eat lunch with, the second was from Harry who was in his second class as well, telling him to pee faster and hurry up because class was about to start in four minutes and he laughed replying that he couldn't control it.

He put his phone away and literally ran to the toilet where he locked the door-these days he didn't liked peeing the other way where everybody could see him, he pulled down his sweatpants a little bit enough to allow himself to pee. He was still relieving himself when he heard the bathroom door being slammed open against the wall and laughter fill the room and Louis internally groaned when he heard the voices of Mason and his friends knowing he was gonna have to wait until they left to come out. He wasn't scared of them but at the moment he was in a delicate state and his main priority was to protect his unborn baby.

A little bit later he heard them walk out of the bathroom and he sighed in relief unlocking the stall door and walking out directly to the sinks to wash his hands but felt all the blood leaving his head when he spotted Mason leaning against the wall smirking evily and for his own and the baby's sake Louis decided to ignore him.

"What's up cockslut?" Mason casually asked walking towards Louis.

Louis kept washing then drying his hands as fast as he could to get out of there and get to class as fast as he could where Harry was because if Harry was around he and the baby would be okay, he looked down at what he was wearing and figured the bump wouldn't be too noticeable if he was wearing gray sweatpants and a large dark blue hoodie that belonged to Harry but for some reason was in his closet.

"Are you deaf or just stupid? I'm talking to you faggot." Mason yelled grabbing Louis by the arm and yanking him backwards just as Louis was about to leave the bathroom.

"Mason please, I don't want any trouble. Just let me go to class, we're already five minutes late." Louis begged, afraid of what Mason might do to him and his baby. He reached for his cell phone to call either Liam or Harry for help.

"Hmm, I don't think so fag." Mason said and before Louis could react he felt a fist colliding with his jaw making him stumble a few steps backwards.

He immediately wrapped his arms around his stomach to avoid getting punched there and walked backwards again with Mason following after him with the intention of hurting him again, he wrapped his hand around Louis' wrist pulling him forward and making him slip on the floor no one noticed was wet and brought him forward colliding full force against the sink with his stomach then falling down on the cold and wet floor screaming and clutching his stomach for dear life. Louis felt it before he registered what was going on and prayed for his baby to be okay.

"Oh shit." Mason murmured looking down at Louis not believing what he was seeing. "I'm out of here." He said bolting out of the bathroom leaving Louis alone crying.

Louis tried to get up but failed when another wave of pain hit him harder than the first one, he whimpered and looked down only to scream and let out a heart breaking sob when he noticed the back of his sweatpants beginning to soak with deep red blood. Not caring if Harry was going to find out he reached for his cellphone to call him for help, he needed to save his baby and if Harry hated him for not telling him he didn't care as long as his baby was safe.

As he was searching for Harry's number he let out another sob realising that if he lost his baby Harry was going to hate him even more for not telling him then losing their baby taking Harry's chance to enjoy his baby and know about it.

"Hello? Louis?" Came Harry's confused and concerned voice through the phone.

"H-Harry please help me," Louis cried into the phone.

"Lou, what's wrong?" Harry asked.

"P-please, you have to help me, I'm in the b-bathroom near out first class." Louis cried clenching his teeth and Harry bolted out of his seat and the classroom ignoring his teacher's calls for him to comeback and ran to the bathroom with the phone still on his ear.

He ran faster when be heard Louis sobbing uncontrollably chanting 'please don't die' again and again. When he got to the bathroom he froze at the sight in front of him and had to force himself to snap out of it, he was scared shitless at seeing Louis on the floor crying, arms wrapped around his abdomen and red blood soaking his sweatpants.

With shaky hands he put his phone away and walked up to Louis kneeling down next to him reaching to brush his hair with his hand while Louis stared at him crying and wincing in pain.

"What happened Lou? Who did this to you?" Harry asked trying not to cry.

"M-Mason, he made me f-fall and I h-hit my stomach. Please Haz, y-you have to take me to the hospital." Louis cried grabbing fistfulls of Harry's shirt.

"Okay, I'm gonna lift you up and take you to my car." Harry said soothingly trying to calm Louis down.

He carefully lifted Louis up soaking his hand with blood and took off walking fast towards his car with Louis crying harder as time went by. Once Harry got to his car he immediately unlocked it and ran to the passengers side carefully holding Louis and trying to open the door and not jostle Louis around too much, he was about to set him down when Louis told him to stop and took off his hoodie throwing it on the seat to avoid staining it with blood.

Harry set him down and couldn't help but notice how Louis immediately wrapped his arms around his stomach again hugging a tiny but noticeable bump that he swore wasn't there the last time he saw Louis naked, he chose to ignore it and shut the door running towards the drivers side wiping the blood off in his jeans and began driving to the only hospital in town as fast as he could wincing every time Louis screamed out in pain.

"L-Louis please tell me what's wrong, why are you bleeding?" Harry asked not taking his eyes off of the road, the least thing he wanted now was to get in an accident.

"I swear you weren't s-supposed to find out this way, you were n-never supposed to find out." Louis cried.

"Find out about what? Lou, tell me." Harry demanded.

"When-oh fuck, when we get there...ask for Dr. Summers, she'll know what to do." Louis said trying to stop crying by taking deep breaths and praying for his baby to be okay.

"Not until you tell me what's going on," Harry yelled slowing down which only pissed off Louis and made him cry harder.

"I'M FUCKING PREGNANT! Now, if you don't w-want me to lose my kid fucking d-drive faster." Louis yelled glaring at Harry then screaming a bunch of profanities when another pain wave hit him.

To say that Harry was shocked was an understatement because he was completely surprised, of course he had heard about men who could conceive heck even his own uncle was one of them but Louis? Louis could conceive and was already pregnant. His mind began racing as he drove faster thinking about Louis pregnant and he began to feel angry and jealous at the thought of Louis carrying another guy's baby until his eyes widened comically in realisation, he had had unprotected sex with Louis four months ago and he knew Louis had never bottomed until Harry fucked him that night at the party but then he could have gone letting other guys top.

"Who-who's the father? Is it, is it mine?" Harry asked nervously gulping managing not to choke on his own saliva.

"Y-yes, do you think I go-fucking hell it hurts! Do you think I go around letting other guys fuck me?" Louis answered in a very pained voice and Harry drove faster because god that was his baby and they were about to lose it if they hadn't already, all thanks to Mason who Harry was going to kill with his bare hands.

He felt like throwing up, crying and screaming and most of all he felt like beating the living shit out of Mason when he saw his hand stained with dried blood thinking that could be his baby.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Harry asked with tears streaming down his face not looking at Louis, he couldn't even do that.

"I was scared you'll reject it cause I'm a freak," Louis sobbed.

"Do you even know me anymore Louis Tomlinson? You know I never would've done that," Harry yelled making Louis flinch.

"I'm sorry Haz, I-"

"I swear if you lose it I will never forgive you." Harry yelled.

"I'm so sorry Harry, plea-" Louis said but was interrupted by Harry getting out of the car after shutting off the engine and slamming the door shut, he then ran to Louis' side opening the door and carefully lifting him up and locking the car with a very pissed off look.

"Please somebody help him! I need Dr. Summers," Harry yelled running inside the hospital where a nurse immediately rushed over when she saw Louis' stained sweatpants. "Please help him, he fell and hit his stomach pretty hard. Fuck...He's four months pregnant, please save them." Harry sobbed.

The nurse and a pretty doctor who Harry assumed was Dr. Summers rushed Louis off to an emergency room in a wheelchair with Harry following behind until a nurse stopped him ignoring Harry's protests, Louis' last words 'Harry I didn't even get to feel it kick' running through his head making him cry harder and regretting what he had said to Louis about never forgiving him if something happened to their baby.

He slumped down onto the ground shaking and hiding his face on his lap until he remembered he had to call Jay, his mum and the lads choosing to call Jay first he took his phone out and dialled Jay's number, taking deep breaths before she answered absolutely confused as to why Harry was calling.

"Harry?"

"Jay, you need to get to the E. R.,"

"What? Why, what happened?" Jay asked frantically.

"That ass hole Mason hurt him, he made Louis f-fall and hit his stomach. Oh god Jay, there was so much blood. I don't want our baby to d-die." Harry sobbed pulling his hair.

"Oh god Harry! I'll be right there." Jay said hanging up and Harry immediately called his mum asking her to get to the E. R. and to not ask questions, just to get there. Next he texted Liam, Niall and Zayn telling them everything that had happened immediately receiving three messages telling him they'll be there.

"HARRY?" He heard Jay yelling his name and he immediately rushed over to her where Jay wrapped her arms around him and he began crying again. "Shh shh, please don't cry Harry," Jay said trying to stay calm

"Why didn't he tell me Jay, I had the right to know," Harry sobbed.

"I never agreed with him when he decided not to tell you, he was scared of your reaction you have to understand that. I kept it a secret that he has female stuff because I was told he would never be able to conceive, he didn't take it so well and even thought about getting an abortion but then he decided to keep it." Jay explained.

"It doesn't matter, it's my baby too. I just found out and he or she could be gone by now for all I know," Harry said letting go of Jay.

"Don't think like that love," Jay said.

"Harry, baby!" Harry and Jay turned around to see Anne and Gemma running towards them.

"Mum..." Harry said crying again and hugging her.

"What happened Haz? Gemma asked rubbing Harry's back.

"L-Louis..." Harry said.

"What's wrong with him?" Anne asked looking at Harry then at Jay.

"Jay, can you tell them, I need air. I feel like I'm suffocating." Harry said walking away because he was scared of his mum's and Gemma's reaction at finding out he knocked up Louis and now their baby could die.

He walked out of the hospital and sat down on a bench trying to relax and stop crying, who would've thought that him, 17 year old Harry Styles would be outside the hospital praying for his son or daughter to be okay, and now he understood how parents felt when they knew their child could die at any moment. He hadn't even known about his baby that long and hadn't even met it but he already loved that baby more than anything and the thought of losing it was enough to bring fresh tears to his eyes.

"Haz? Please tell me they're okay," Harry looked up when he heard Zayn's voice to see him, Liam and Niall approaching him with bloodshot eyes from crying.

"I don't know, they haven't said anything," Harry said hugging them all.

"I'm gonna kill that bastard Mason." Niall growled looking absolutely livid.

"Trust me Niall, once they tell me Louis and the baby are okay I'm gonna end him, right now I need to know they're okay." Harry said balling his hands into fists.

"Harry please don't do anything stupid," Liam said trying to calm him down.

"How can you tell me that Liam? He fucking hurt Louis and my baby, I can't let him get away with that." Harry yelled.

"Look Harry, let's go back inside for now. We'll handle Mason later," Zayn said leading Harry towards the E. R.

Almost an hour later Louis was still inside and the wait was killing them all especially Harry who wouldn't stop crying on his mum's and Gemma's shoulders who surprisingly took everything in well. Jay and the boys were trying their best to keep Harry from bolting out of the hospital and going after Mason when he had tried to do it every time they got distracted.

A few minutes later Dr. Summers finally walked out with a blank expression and all seven people gathered around her urging her to talk especially Harry who was a nervous wreck and felt like slapping her if she didn't talk soon enough, Liam knowing what he was thinking held his hand shaking his head no in a discreet way so only Harry could see him.

"Louis and the baby are okay, there was bleeding due to the impact but we were able to stop it; however, he needs to stay here for a few days so we can keep a close eye on him if any complications were to occur. Male pregnancies are common but there are many risks including miscarriages because their bodies aren't built to carry the products to term." She explained and everyone let out a breath of relief.

"Can I see him?" Harry asked.

"You must be Harry, the other father. He's asleep right now and still under observation, I'm afraid you're gonna have to wait." Dr. Summers said giving him a sympathetic look.

"Why not? I'm the father, I have the right to see him." Harry argued completely pissed off. Who the hell did she think she was not letting him see them.

"I know that but he needs to sleep and the stress affects the baby too. It's best if we leave him alone for now, I promise you'll be able to see him later." Dr. Summers said.

"Fine," Harry said and Dr. Summers gave him one last smile before leaving.

"Thank god they're okay." Jay said.

"Oh god! Guys I'm gonna be a dad! What if I fuck this up and the kid ends up hating me." Harry said freaking out and glaring at every body when they laughed at him.

"You'll be fine love, he or she will love you." Anne said.

"Yeah because the baby will be biologically programmed to love your ugly face. Don't be stupid." Gemma said smiling sweetly and innocently at Harry.

"Shut up Gemma," Harry said hiding his face in his mum's shoulder.

"I'm gonna be a grandma," Anne squealed making everybody laugh.

"Me too," Jay said hugging Anne. "We should start planning the baby shower."

"And I'm gonna be the best aunt and spoil this baby to death," Gemma said.

"And don't forget us three. Best uncle's in the whole wide world!" Niall cheered singing the last three words in an opera voice and placing his arms around Liam and Zayn who were smiling.

"I'll be right back," Harry said breaking away from his mum.

"And where do you think you're going mister?" Anne asked.

"Wash my hand off mum, it's covered in dried blood plus I need some time alone." Harry said walking away.

"That boy..." Anne muttered then turned around to talk to Jay and Gemma about the baby.

~*~

Louis slowly woke up and immediately ran his fingers over his stomach looking for his tiny bump and let out a shaky breath when he felt it still there warm and safe. Flashbacks of what had happened ran through his mind and he felt a wave of nausea when he realised Harry knew about the baby, he desperately looked around the hospital room searching for those green eyes and curly hair and felt like crying when he only saw his mum sitting on the sofa reading a magazine.

He cried because he was nowhere in the room then cried harder when he realised that his worst nightmare was now a reality and Harry had left thinking he was a freak along with the baby and he wanted nothing to do with either of them.

"Lou? Honey why are you crying?" Jay said rushing over to Louis when she heard him crying. "The baby's fine Louis."

"He f-found out mum and he left us," Louis cried.

"No, no Louis. Harry's outside having a serious talk with Anne, he never left Lou. He was here and he cried a lot thinking the baby was hurt."

"Why is Anne talking to him, is she mad?" Louis asked freaking out at the thought of Anne being angry.

"Umm, we'll talk about it later boo. How are you feeling?" Jay asked trying to distract Louis.

"What time is it?"

"It's almost three, you've been asleep for almost five hours."

"I wanna see Harry... what's he talking to his mum about?" Louis insisted.

"She's lecturing him, now please calm down." Jay said brushing Louis' hair out of his face.

"Lec-about what, mom what's going on?" Louis asked trying not to freak out.

"Boo it's okay, it's not important now please relax." Jay ordered.

"You better tell me what's going on Jay or I'm gonna go find out myself." Louis said trying to get up.

"Louis William! Fine I'll tell you but you have to promise me you'll stay calm okay, it's bad for the baby if you're stressing out."

"I promise, now tell me," Louis demanded.

"After Harry was sure you and the baby were okay he went back to school to find that Mason boy who hurt you and...beat him up so bad he sent him to the E. R. with a broken leg and two broken ribs also I'm pretty sure he's gonna need plastic surgery," Jay carefully explained.

"He did what? Why didn't the lads stop him?" Louis yelled. "Why did you guys let him go back."

"We were all here including Gemma, he had dried blood on his hand and said he needed to rinse it off and wanted to be alone. How were we supposed to know he was gonna go back and beat that boy up." Jay said.

"So what's gonna happen to him and Mason?" Louis asked concerned about Harry's well-being.

"He was suspended from school for two weeks and Mason's parents threatened to press charges against him until Anne and I got involved. We explained what he did to you and Harry's motives for doing it and he denied it and said Harry lied and had jumped him for no reason until they checked the security cameras outside the bathroom.

It shows you running inside the bathroom then Mason and his friends walking in, his friends leaving a few minutes later without Mason then him running out. Then Harry running in then out with you...covered in blood." Jay explained to Louis.

"So what's gonna happen?" Louis asked wanting to cry because Harry had gotten into trouble because of him.

"I was gonna press charges against him for attempted murder but we agreed that if they don't press charges against Harry then I don't either against Mason plus that beating was enough and he also got suspended from school for three weeks."

"Okay...I'm starving, could you go get me some food?" Louis asked blushing then giggling when his stomach made a strange sound.

"I'll go get you something," Jay smiled kissing her son's forehead then walking out.

Louis waited until she was gone then lifted his hospital gown covering his lower parts with the bed sheet revealing his tiny bump, he began to carefully stroke it as if any rough touch would hurt the life growing inside of him, he realised he couldn't lose this baby ever because he was already way to attached to it and he loved him with all his heart.

"I thought I lost you sweety..." Louis mumbled before he burst into tears covering his eyes leaving his bump unprotected, he was startled when he felt a warm hand on it and another brushing his hair through its fingers.

"Don't cry Lou, the baby's okay" Louis looked up to see Harry looking at him lovingly with a black eye and a busted lower lip but he still managed to look perfect.

"Y-you don't think I'm a freak?" Louis asked looking away.

"Lou, look at me," Harry said gently grabbing Louis' chin with his fingers making Louis look at him. "I don't think you're a freak."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I'm a little disappointed that you weren't going to tell me at all but it doesn't matter anymore. I'm sorry about what I said earlier..."

"It's okay. I'm really sorry, I thought you were gonna hate me and the baby." Louis said tearing up again. Damn hormones.

"Why would I do that? Didn't I said I still am madly in love with you that day at the park, and how could I hate that little person we managed to create together. You know I'll do anything to protect both of you." Harry said wiping Louis' tears away with his thumbs.

"I know. I heard you beat up Mason. Are you okay, does it hurt?" Louis asked giving a flying fuck about Mason and only caring about Harry.

"Yeah, my knuckles, eye and lip hurt a little but I'm okay."

"Good."

"So umm, when's your next appointment. I would love to go. That's if you don't mind," Harry said nervously.

"Of course you can go, and its supposed to be tomorrow so yeah," Louis said covering his bump.

"Lou?" Harry asked rubbing the back of his neck.

"Yeah?"

"Do you-do you think we could try again? I still love you a lot and its torture to be away from you, plus we have a baby on the way." Harry asked nervous as hell.

"Do you really want to?" Louis asked.

"Yeah, I want to be there for you and our baby girl." Harry said.

"Then I'll love to...and its a boy, I can feel it." Louis said blushing.

"We'll see love." Harry smiled so big kissing Louis again for the first time in four months, his lip hurt as hell but he didn't care, all he cared about was that Louis was his again and the baby.
