Eighteen

Perfectly Fine, Perfectly Healthy

"What happened, Aria?" I walked over to her. She hid her face behind her hands like a child, sniffling,

"I'm," sniffle, "fine," she said, pushing past me. I watched her walk away from me for a second, before my mind registered what had happened. I ran up the stairs, quickly catching up to her slow walking.

She walked over to the bed, sitting down sloppily on the duvet with a sob. I sat down next to her and placed her hand on mine, looking at her.

"Babe, what's wrong?"

I could've sworn I saw worry flash upon her face as quickly as it left, but I wasn't positive. She turned her face away from me, wiped her tears away with her sleeve before turning around. She smiled softly before speaking.

"Uh, I guess it's just mood swings," she smiled.

"What do you mean?"

"You know, like period mood swings," she blushed slightly, looking down.

ARIA'S POV

"Looks like we won't need those pregnancy tests anymore," Harry said, looking at me.

Shit.

"Ha, yeah. Dodged a bullet there," I forced a chuckle, that I'm sure Harry knew was fake. He didn't say anything, though.

"So you're fine then, right? Like nothing is wrong?"

"Yeah Harry, I'm great actually," shit, my voice cracked. He definitely noticed.

"Babe, you/re telling the truth, right?"

"Yeah, Harry."

"Alright, because I have to believe you. If something isn't right, please tell me. I want to help fix it."

Fix it? More like fix me.

"I'm perfectly fine, perfectly healthy." Lie.

"Good," he smiled.

*Flashback to earlier that morning*

"How big did you say the cancer is?"

"1.2 centimeters ma'am."

"I need to worry about something that small?"

"Although it is small, it could be very agressive. We need surgery, a lumpectomy. We will just remove the cancer and try to leave the breast as it is. Your right breast may have a slight disformation, but that's what we have to do. During the surgery, we'll remove two lymph nodes from your armpit. That will show us if the cancer has spread or not."

"And when will this take place?"

"Someone just cancelled their appointment for next Thursday, but other than that the waiting list is out three months right now."

"Wouldn't the next person on the waiting list take that appointment?"

"Usually, but due to your mother's generous donations we figured it's the least we could do. Would you like that appointment?"

"Of course."

*End of flashback*

Was I going to tell him? Definitely. But it could wait a little bit, right?

Why would I burden him with such information? We have a wedding coming up, and it's just a small little tumour. Once the surgery happens this will all be over and I can have the baby.

That's right, it's just a little tumour. I don't even know why I was so upset before. Probably hormones.

I walked downstairs, passing Harry as he typed on his laptop. Probably writing another song, I assumed.

I walked to the bathroom, shutting the door. I went to the bathroom, and reached to get toilet paper when I realized that there wasn't any.

"Harry!" I yelled from the bathroom.

"Yeah?" He called down.

I chuckled at our relationship, and well as what I was about to say.

"Can you bring me toilet paper?" I yelled.

I could hear him laugh, before calling down a quick 'yeah'. I smiled, sitting there waiting. I waited for a while, probably about 5 minutes.

"Harry? Are you alright?" No answer.

I started worrying, as I pulled up my pants, not worrying about the toilet paper anymore but instead him. I ran up the stairs.

"Harry?" I called out as I ran into the master bathroom. He was sitting there, all drawers and cabinets open and a roll of toilet paper sitting next to him. And in his hand? My pregnancy test. The positive one. Lined up next to him were the other two pregnancy tests, also positive.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He looked up at me, his red eyes practicaly piercing me.
