When Harrison told Tom that he would no longer be his assistant, Tom was sad that he wouldn't be able to travel around with his best mate anymore. Although, he understood Harrison's reasons. After all, Tom was very supportive of his best mate's career like how supportive Harrison is with him. Tom was just upset is all. But Tom knew that it was time to move on and find another assistant. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to check out the applicants because he was too busy to do so. He gave Harry the job and after interviewing many, many applicants, Harry finally found the right assistant.
"Welcome!" Harry greeted with a smile. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you again."
You smiled back and said, "Thanks for hiring me."
Harry showed you around on set and taught you the things that you should know and you got to meet Tom too which was cool. The first few days, Harry was glued to your side because you were still getting the hang of your new job. After a week, you were already able to do things on your own without Harry (which kind of bummed Harry out because he enjoyed your company).
It was lunchtime and you were on your way to buy yourself two cheeseburgers and large fries when Tom and Harry saw you on your way out.
"Hey, Y/N!" Tom waved you over. You walked to him and said, "Yeah?"
"Nothing." Tom laughed. "Where ya off to?"
"I'm going to buy lunch. I'm craving two cheeseburgers and large fries." You chuckled shyly.
"That sounds like a lot." Harry said with raised eyebrows.
You nodded slowly and said, "Well, of course it's a lot. I'm eating for two after all."
"Eating for t-" Tom cut himself off with a gasp. "You're pregnant?!" He shrieked loudly, causing everyone around you to look at the three of you.
"Who's pregnant?" The director, Sheila, asked as she approached the three of you.
"Y/N's pregnant." Harry answered.
Sheila smiled and asked, "Really? How far along are you?"
"Three months tomorrow." You smiled. "I'm not really sure if I'm showing or if I'm bloated. It could be both, but either way, as long as the baby's healthy, I'm good."
"I was the same when I was pregnant with my first born." Sheila reminisced.
"How many kids do you have?" You asked politely. You could use advice from not-first-time moms.
"I have three." Sheila grinned. "My husband was really helpful."
"Speaking of husbands, where's the baby's father?" Tom asked with furrowed eyebrows. "I mean, I don't see you calling anyone or whatever."
"He left, so I'm raising this baby alone." You said. "So, thanks for hiring me, Harry."
"You're welcome." Harry said. "I'll go out and buy your lunch. My treat, okay? Just sit back and relax." Before you could say anything, Harry left to buy lunch for you, him, and Tom.
"Yeah, we can stay in my trailer! It's really comfy there and I have little snacks." Tom smiled and grabbed your arm. "Let's go!"
"I'll talk to you later, Y/N!" Sheila called out with a chuckle.
"Okay!" You said loudly as Tom took you to his trailer.
When you got there, he made you sit on the tiny couch and made sure you were comfortable. When he was done, he just stood there and looked at you which made you feel awkward.
