I'm having your baby

5

Liam was the one who had to confirm that Louis was going to be a dad when he did a radio interview. Their management had obviously made sure that the radio host would ask about it and Liam at least got a heads up.
"Exciting times ahead for Louis. How did you feel when he told you that he was going to be a dad?" The radio host asked.

"Well I was obviously quite shocked but he has taken super well to it. He's excited, you know. It's all good."

"Is she nice though?" The radio host asked.

"She's a lovely girl." Liam replied automatically.

The next day Louis had to address it. They did a live performance for Good morning America's Summer concert series which also included an interview. He was so uncomfortable lying about it. He just wanted to scream out that Harry was having his baby but he couldn't do that.
"I just wanna say, from one father to another I want to congratulate you on your upcoming fatherhood. So how are you feeling?" The man interviewing them asked.

Louis tried to smile.
"Thank you, yeah, obviously it's a very exciting time, so, eh, I'm buzzing, thank you."

He was excited. But the thought of the world thinking that he knocked up some one-night stand after partying too much was a horrible feeling. He had been in a committed relationship since he was eighteen. He was married for fucks sake!

The female interviewer seemed to sense that something was up.
"Harry? You seem very quiet today?"

Harry was taken off guard.
"No."

"Harry is chilling!" The male interviewer laughed.

"I'm having a great time." Harry smiled even though it was clear that he wasn't.

Louis wanted to murder someone for putting Harry on the spot like that.

They did a couple of more shows before they shot the music video for Drag me down. It was absolutely amazing. They were the first artists in history that got to make a video at NASA. It was an experience of a lifetime.

The media circus was writing article after article about Louis and Briana and now she got tapped on her own. Louis had called his mother while they were in the states to vent. He didn't want to put it all on Harry because it stressed him out and the only thing he wanted him to focus on was his pregnancy. He was 19 weeks pregnant now and everything looked fine. They had been asked if they wanted to know the gender but they declined. Their management was furious.
"Mum, let's make someone happy." Louis said after he had complained about his situation.

They had a charity together and Jay suggested that they would throw a ball for terminally ill children. Louis was immediately on board and she made the preparations while he was in the States. He flew to London and Liam joined him on the night in honor and he loved seeing their little smiling faces. It was one of the best nights in a long time.

They flew back to the States the day after and continued their tour. Their music video was released and the fans loved it.

It was time to announce their hiatus. Their management had given the exclusive to The Sun as usual. The Internet blew up from mourning fans. He and Niall reached out to them on Twitter.

They continued to tour North America. Louis could see how tired Harry was. He slept whenever he could and Louis lent him his shoulder as a pillow. He wished that they could just stay at home but to be able to get some time off they had to do this. In addition to touring, they had a new album to launch. They shot a music video for a song called perfect at a hotel between shows. Their team would edit out Harry's baby bump. Even if it was still small it was there and that would cause a lot of confusion, especially since they couldn't go public with the pregnancy.

Liam had once again lied for their sake in a newspaper interview. Unfortunately, Harry got his hands on it before Louis could prevent it. He had left him alone in the hotel room, thinking he was asleep. He just went to get some of the weird stuff Harry was craving. It was cute but kind of disgusting how he blended things that didn't go well together but he would never say anything about it. He just made sure that they had it. Harry's latest craving was cheese doodles and canned tuna. Just the smell of it made Louis want to hurl but he kept a straight face.

He tiptoed inside their hotel room just to find Harry in bed with the computer. He looked upset, reading out of what Liam had said.
"Yes, indeed, and he's very happy about becoming a dad. But the funny thing is, there are some people out there who think that Louis getting Briana pregnant is fake. That it's not real: it's a cover-up. And that's the sort of shit that gets to me. But you have to hold your tongue and that's fine. I mean, it's not really any of my business anyway."

Louis let out a surprised laugh.
"That's fucking awesome. The fans aren't buying it, no matter how hard our damn management tries to shove it in their faces. They rather believe it's a fake pregnancy than believe that I knocked up a girl."

"That's our Larries. I just hate that Liam has to be the one who addresses this. He's fragile Louis. He's drinking too much." Harry said, looking worried.

"Yeah, I noticed." Louis sighed and took a seat on the bed. "I'll try to talk to him."

"We all need a break. I should have gotten pregnant a year ago." Harry smirked.

"If I would have known that it was possible I would have tried way harder." Louis chuckled.

"Well, do you wanna go for a test round now?" Harry grinned.

"You're already knocked up, honey." Louis snickered.

"Yes but I'm not puking anymore. We haven't had sex in months. I'm asking if you want to, now?" Harry smiled.

"What? Of course, wait, are you sure? What about the baby?" Louis asked concerned.

"Will be perfectly fine." Harry said with an eye roll.

Louis almost threw himself at him.
