Harry Styles Mini Me

Ch.3: Rude Awakening for the Baby

I forgot I set my alarm for my first OBGYN appointment today to see Baby Styles for the first time today. So when the very obnoxious sound comes blaring from my cellphone I grab for it immediately and nearly toss it across the room to get it to shut up so that it doesn't wake Harry. He's been in the studio a ton in the last few weeks in order to log time to get more time off for when baby Styles is here and earth side and he has to take over daddy duty. "Shush! Shush! Alright, I hear you!" Finally when I get the harsh alarm turned quiet, unfortunately Harry is already awake. He turns to face me and thinks through his tasks today trying to remember if any of them required my alarm. "Bub, I don't have anything going on today, so what's with the rude awaking?" I smile apologetically, placing my hand on his cheek. He lets his eyes close and he grabs my hand pulling it higher to rest in his curls. I get the silent message and start massaging through his dark brown curls. "Thank you, darlin'." He sighs, still sleepy, snuggling back into his pillow. "I'm sorry I woke you Haz," I apologize softly, "but I have my first OB appointment in an hour. You can go back to bed if you want, I shouldn't be long." He furrows his eyes brows. "OB is the...?" Baby doctor.." I clarify, grabbing his shirt from the floor and slipping it over my head before heading into the bathroom to get ready.

Harry pops up, excitedly. "Baby?! We get to see our baby? Screw going back to bed, I'm coming with you." I laugh, speaking around the toothbrush in my mouth. "Hazza, it's nothing exciting yet. They'll probably just take all my vitals, stats and maybe do some blood work so they have a base to go off of for future visits." I spit in the sink and feel Harry's arm wrap around my waist. "I don't care, that's my baby, I'll be there for everything. I promise." I turn to smile at him and snuggle into his still warm tattooed chest. "Okay, fine. Now get out, I have to shower." He wiggles his eyebrows but I shove him out. "No! I'm showering alone you perv!" He chuckles, "Fine, I'll be the barista today even though you're better at it!" He whines then pouts, sassily stomping in his socks out of the bedroom. I smile at the barista compliment and turn on my Alexa to have a soundtrack to my shower.

Two hours later, I squeeze Harry's leg, cursing myself for chugging a whole Fiji water bottle at the cafe. As was needed for my ultrasound for a focal point to find things easier but still, I am more nervous about peeing through my favorite pair of Hazza's old yoga pants I stole from him than actually seeing the baby. Thankfully before I can think about it anymore, a tech calls us back.

I smile at Harry as they warn me about the cold jelly they have to use on my stomach and he already looks like he's about to cry. I squeeze his hand reassuringly and he presses his forehead to mine, sweetly, our smiles overlapping each others. All of a sudden we hear a definite bomp bomp bomp hue hue hue sound. Harry looks up at the ultrasound screen in shock. He understands from becoming an uncle to his sister Gemma's kids what that sweet sound is. "Their heart... Baby that's their heartbeat...." The nurse smiles, wiping the jelly from my skin with a hand towel. "Indeed it is. According to all of your information you gave us it looks like you're measuring early at ten weeks. You and I will get to know each other very well as you'll have to come back weekly for check ups to make sure your pregnancy goes well and you two stay very healthy." I sit up and Harry affectionately leans down to kiss my temple. The nurse stands at the door. "Congratulations you two. Do you have any questions at all before I go to get you your sonogram prints?" I bury my head in my hoodie to hide my giggles as Harry perks up and asks every question about me and this pregnancy known to man. Can't blame the boy though he's learning and he wants to do his best for me and his child.

After getting a light breakfast, Harry kisses my hand as soon as we get back in the car and I can tell his mind is a bit jumbled. And I can't blame him, we've had a very long emotional full morning. "You feel well enough for a hike love? I kind of need to get moving to process everything." I smile and nod as Hazza wipes the back of his hand over his eyes, stopping the waiting tears.

"Sure I'd love that. I'm actually really happy you came with me." He looks up and cups my cheek in his large hand. "I am too. I love you darling. Wouldn't want to start a family with anyone else." He whispers against my lips before kissing me.

As we break apart I sign the word 'same' to him in american sign language.
