ღ Nineteen weeks pregnant ღ

"Take a guess at who just finished paying off on a new house!"

Louis glanced up from the piano, raising one eyebrow. "I'm guessing you... You're late for your lesson."

"I was paying for our house! You aren't happy?" Harry asked, going to sit by his boyfriend.

"I am, Harry... I'm just hungry and tired," Louis explained briefly, holding his tummy.

"Baby," Harry cooed, leaning down to peck Louis's cheek. Louis pouted, turning for a real kiss, which Harry happily gave him. "Teach me some piano now. I have a song due in a week and I want to play it on piano instead of guitar."

"Oh... Will you sing it for Bear?" Louis asked.

"I definitely will, kitten," Harry cooed, pressing his fingertips gently across his baby.

"Okay, let's start," Louis began.

It wasn't long into their lesson that Louis was whining, wanting to go eat food, but Harry really needed to finish.

"C'mon Louis, please let me finish-"

"We're hungry," Louis interrupted angrily, crossing his arms.

Harry sighed because he was really stuck right now. He hated when he couldn't please his boy, but he couldn't get caught further behind in school work. He'd already missed a few days and his professors all understood that Harry had a pregnant boyfriend on his hands, but they couldn't just let Harry off and Harry needed to keep up.

"Louis, I have to have this song done," Harry hissed, already messing up as he played some of what Louis helped him compose. "I'm paying you to teach me piano."

Louis grunted, moving Harry's fingers to tap along three completely different keys and Harry gave an angry Louis a quick peck to his cheek, promising him dinner soon.

The next forty minutes were hell for the younger lad. Harry tried to keep his cool but Louis wouldn't stop complaining. Harry also knew that it was Louis's hormones making him act like a child but it was frustrating.

After the lesson, Harry took Louis to a pizza parlor and they sat down, Louis excited to dig into a vegetarian pizza consisting of three different pepper types, onions, mushrooms, and olives.

"So Luke's dinner is tomorrow," Louis said conversationally as he bit into a slice of pizza, refraining from moaning.

Harry, who was a little pissed, only nodded, picking off the olives. Louis frowned.

"You could've told me you didn't want olives."

"To hear you whine some more?" Harry said cooly, finally able to eat the pizza slice without tasting the foul olives. "No, but thanks for the offer."

Louis scrunched his eyebrows together, surprised with Harry's bitter tone. "Harry?"

"What?" Harry snapped. He honestly wanted to be left alone.

"Are you mad at me?" Louis poked out his bottom lip, blue eyes wide and watery.

"No, Louis," Harry sighed, ridding the tomato sauce from the side of Louis's mouth with a napkin. "I'm just behind in school so I'm worried."

Louis suddenly felt guilt wash over him and he stared down at the table.

"I'm sorry," the older lad mumbled, setting down the pizza slice he wasn't quite finished with.

"It's fine," Harry breathed even though he really wasn't fine. He was a still angry.

"Are you going to punish me, Daddy?" Louis asked quietly, lifting his watery eyes to stare innocently at Harry.

"No. I can't punish you, love, I can't hurt the little one."

"Would you punish me if we didn't have Bear?"

Harry leaned his torso closer across the table, finally smiling. "If we didn't have Bear, you probably wouldn't be acting like this, Louis. I'm honestly okay with it, alright? Daddy won't punish you."

Louis nodded softly, smiling shyly at Harry before beginning to pick the olives off of the entire pizza.

Harry could literally feel Luke's nervousness.

Due to Harry's advice, Luke had decided to make the announcement at his home in case anyone decided to... Show out.

Louis and Harry were currently sitting on Luke's couch as Luke stared at the group in front of him that included the couple, Zayn, Ed, and Lennox.

"I have an announcement."

Ed, Zayn, and Lennox looked up in surprise, but Harry and Louis sort of stayed still since they already knew what was coming.

"Um, okay, so I have this... I met this guy, like, a year ago, yeah? And we became really good friends," Luke started awkwardly, closing his eyes. "And, um, we... We got close and like, two months after we met, Lennox and I were fighting, so I went to this friend and... And we fucked."

Ed let out a little gasp, Zayn watched Luke with wide eyes, but, oddly, Lennox stayed completely still.

"And we continued to do it... So, I came over one day, about three months after the first night, and I was expecting sex, but my friend was crying and he was a mess and... I found out his was pregnant."

More silence. Lennox wasn't even showing emotion, she was just staring at Luke, clearly ready for him to finish his story.

"Okay, so I did a shitty thing-"

"You cheated on your girlfriend of two years. That is pretty shitty," Ed snapped.

"No, I mean, I left my friend to deal with the pregnancy by himself-"

Zayn suddenly cleared his throat and everyone turned to look at him. Zayn had that aura- when he spoke, you had to he quiet, because his words could be life-changing considering they didn't happen often.

"I'm assuming that you're here to tell us that your friend, or Michael Clifford, that guy from the restaurant a while back, just had your baby and you've decided to be in the baby's life, ending your relationship with Lennox and starting a family with Michael."

Everyone stared at Zayn before looking to Luke, who looked shocked. Like suddenly cleared his own throat before nodding.

"Um, pretty much, except, Lennox, I don't want you to be upset-"

"Actually," Lennox said rather cooly, "I knew you had cheated on me already. Remember the really cute manager hostess at the restaurant? That's Michael's boss and best friend, Calum Hood. I told him you and I were just friends because you seemed to know the pregnant bloke, and Calum spilled everything. Then, I let him fuck me. Three times." Lennox paused to lean back and let out a breath. "Eventually he found out you and I were together thanks to Michael and Calum called it off, but it happened, Luke, and I don't regret it."

Now that was something to process.

"Technically, you can't be mad," Ed spoke, waiting for Luke's break down.

"I know," Luke said after a minute, watching as Lennox stood up. "I'm honestly sorry for cheating, Lennox."

"I'm not. I didn't find out until the baby was almost born, Luke, and I didn't find out by you. And it fucking hurt. You deserved so much more than me cheating back as revenge, but in pathetic."

"Len," Harry said softly, reaching out to grab Lennox's wrist, but the girl flinched away.

"You knew, didn't you, Harry?" Lennox seethed.

"It wasn't my place to tell you," Harry replied simply.

Lennox glared at him before turning on her heel and storming away, but no one stopped her from leaving.

Slowly, a tiny figure stepped out and Luke let out a shaky breath, holding out his arms for Michael to fall in to.

Ed and Zayn didn't really say much else, but they stuck around that night to see their best friend's baby boy.

Louis hummed as the last box was packed. His hand cupped his slowly swelling tummy.

"All ready?" Liam asked as he entered Louis's bedroom, smiling.

"I am... But I don't want to leave you, Liam."

"That's okay," Liam said, his smile softening into a sadder one. "I don't want you to leave either, but you're making a really good move- literally. I can feel that you and Harry are going to last. He's the one for you, Lou."

Louis smiled back as Liam carried Louis's box out of the apartment. Louis looked around the empty room sadly. He was going to miss living here.

~~~

Harry crawled into the bed, pulling back to the navy blue sheets and comforter, snuggling in next to Louis's tiny frame.

"Hey," Louis giggled, pressing a kiss to Harry's nose.

"Kitten," Harry cooed, pressing his own kisses along Louis's jaw. The older boy giggled more, wiggling away.

"First night in our new house," Louis said as Harry moved down to kiss Louis's tummy.

"Yeah... I hope you'll like it here."

"I will... As long as you're here. Goodnight, Harry."

"Goodnight, Louis." Harry gave a long kiss to the area right above Louis's belly button before whispering, "Goodnight, my little princess."
