Because Of You (Sequel to Love & Lies)

Chapter 12: When You Close Your Eyes

Hey honey bunches! I know this update is long over due but there's a very important question I have to ask you guys so please make sure you check out the A/N at the end of the chapter! Enjoy!

************************

Janine's POV

I sat on the top of my roof, criss crossed.

The sky looked beautiful tonight.

The sun was almost down and it left an orangey-blue effect. The moon showed dimly in the background, stars starting to appear.

I could occasionally hear the boys laughing downstairs through the open window directly below me.

I sighed. This would probably be one of the last times I can get up here since there was no doubt that I was going to get bigger.

I placed my hand on my 4 month baby bump, smiling.

I could only imagine what he'd be like. Just like his father.

I laughed to myself on how I'm convinced it's a boy.

When I close my eyes, I see a small boy, with curls that he could've inherited from both Harry and I. He had bright green eyes just like his father, as well as his beautiful dimples.

That's when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and smiled.

"Hey."

"Hey." The curly haired boy replied.

He walked over and sat down beside me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I just was walking by to go to the toilet when I saw the window open and you sitting outside so I was watching you." Harry explained.

I laughed. "Spying on me again Styles?"

I watched as Harry's cheeks turned a bright shade red, only making me laugh harder.

"Anyways, do I see Haylor in the near future?" I tease half-heartedly.

I watched as Harry shook his head. "No. I only see you."

********************

Harry's POV

"Anyways, do I see any Haylor in the near-future?" Jenny teased me.

I shook my head. "No. I only see you."

I watched as she stopped smiling and looked down, turning her own colour of red.

We sat quiet for awhile, in a calm silence.

I watched as she rubbed her growing belly, smiling mindlessly. Her hair was out, pulled back by a yellow head band. She had on grey leggings with a soft, yellow coloured buttoned tunic that matched her headband.

She wore maternity clothes at only four months, which only now occurred to me.

"Love, why do you wear maternity clothes at four months? You don't even need it yet." I question.

She laughs. "Oh yes I do." She places a hand on the roof for support as she tries to pick herself up. "Can you help me?"

I laugh as she struggles innocently. "Sure."

I get up, bending down slightly so she could wrap her arm around my neck for support as I help her.

Once she's up, she sighs in relief. "Thanks Haz."

"No problem. Where are you going?" I ask.

"To show you why I can't fit into my regular clothing." she replies, walking back to the window.

I wait for her to go in first but she just stands there. Then I realise why.

I climb through the window and offer my hand to her. She climbs in, smiling.

"You're a lifesaver Harry Styles, did you know that?" she asks me, smirking.

I grin widely. "Yes, yes I did." I say, popping the collar of my shirt.

I watched as she rolled her eyes. "Sure you did, Mr. Ego."

I chuckled as she pulled out a pair of pants from her drawer.

"These are a size 3." She said, holding them up for me to see.

I raised an eyebrow. "So what size do you wear now?"

"Don't laugh at me, but wait for it--a size 6T!" She groans.

I was now even more confused than ever. "So what does the T stand for and how many sizes did you go up?"

She sighed, annoyed with my lack of understanding. "The T is just to say that it's a maternity size and the number stands for how many months along. So I'm wearing pants for 6 months along when I'm only 4!" She raised her hands in exasperation.

I nodded. "Okay. So is there an explanation for it?"

"Yeah." She replied, folding the pants. "It's because it's my first baby. And I'm only going to become bigger."

She sat on the bed, her head in her hands.

I laughed as she was stuck in the thought of having a bigger stomach than she already had now.

"Hey, don't think of that." I say, sitting down beside her. "Think that in the end, we'll have a beautiful baby girl."

She looked up at me, a curious smile on her face.

"You think it's a girl?" She asks, smiling.

****************

Janine's POV

"You think it's girl?" I ask, Harry.

My heart skipped a beat when he said "we'll" but I decided to keep that out.

He laughs. "I guess. When I close my eyes, I see a beautiful little girl, with curly brown hair, just like ours. She has your hazel eyes and your smile, with one dimple on the left, just like you."

I was left speechless. It was the same thing I had said only I had imagined a boy.

"What do you see when you close your eyes?" Harry asks me.

I took a deep breath. "You."

Harry looked at me, a small smile on his face.

"We better go downstairs before the boys break something else." He suggests.

I smile, getting up from the bed. "Yeah, that was my favourite vase too."

I walk out of the room, Harry following behind me. I close the door and stop at the stairs.

"Harry?"

"Hmm?"

"Thank you." I say, pecking him to the cheek.

With that, I go downstairs, smiling wide.
