Way Of Life - H.S & N.H

The Aftermath

Everything had turned to chaos.

Heather and Niall flew out for their honeymoon a couple days after the wedding. Waiting for things settle down again before flying.

Paps had spotted them in Sydney the day after the wedding and the photos quickly circulated. Along with the photos Shayla posted, it sent everyone into a frenzy.

Harry and Shayla stuck around to enjoy Sydney a little longer and to wait out the media storm.

Everyone knew about the marriage now and everyone also knew Shayla and Harry were an item.

"Well... knew it was gonna happen eventually." Harry spoke into his phone.

"I just wish we could've been a bit more prepared. It's okay though, we're dealing with it. Are you both sure this is what you want?" Jeff questioned on the other end.

Harry pondered his question for a moment.

If Shay hadn't posted that photo, things would still be peaceful. On the other hand, she was the love of his life and about to start a family with her. The world needed to know.

The thought of being able to be more open with his fans meant the world. They'd given him so much. Plus his album was being released at the end of year, which would feature a particular song about her. He needed to finish it first though.

"It is."

"You really love her don't you. I've never seen you so happy." Jeff cooed.

"I do indeed. She's the mo..." Harry stopped himself before he spilled the beans. No one knew about the baby apart from Niall, Heather, Liam, Louis, James and his wife Jules.

They both needed to tell their families. Obviously Jeff needed to know and he would as soon as possible.

"mo...most amazing person." Good save.

"She is pretty great. What? Oh god... Anyway, best get off. The kids are fighting and Glenne's going insane. See you in a few days for the studio."

Harry said his goodbyes and hung up.

Shayla was back at work. On a shoot just outside of London.

She left early that morning, planting a kiss on Harry's cheek as he looked up at her sleepily.

"Miss you already."

"Aww miss you too."

"Wasn't talking to you." He placed his hand on her stomach.

"Wow rude." Shayla shoved his hand off her stomach but couldn't hide her smile.

She gave him another kiss before grabbing her phone and going downstairs.

"Drive safe please!" Harry shouted.

"I promise! We'll see you soon."

Harry smiled at that. "WE'LL see you soon." Her and the little one.

Couple minutes later the front door slammed.

They'd invited Anne and Gemma to come and stay that evening so that they could tell them the good news. Gemma's partner Michal was invited too but couldn't come.

Shayla's family were a bit trickier though, all being incredibly busy and scattered all over.
They decided to video call them in their free day from work. It's the best they could do for now.

Harry had been cleaning all afternoon, distracting himself from his thoughts.

Both of their families knew they were living together and were ecstatic. A baby might tip them over the edge though.
