Help me. | l.s. (mpreg) [Book 1]

"Hey, Haz. What's up?" Liam asked as he picked up the phone when he saw his best friend calling him.

"Hey, uhm, what are you doing right now?" Harry asked nervously.

"I'm watching tv and wait for Zayn to come home, you?" Liam asked.

"N-nothing. I just wanted to ask you something." Harry said slowly, fiddling with the hem of his jumper when he prepared himself to ask his embarrassing question.

"Okay, shoot."

"Uhm, do you remember when you once told me that sometimes you wear...well, uhm, stuff for Zayn?" Harry stammered out biting his nails.

"Oh, you mean panties?" Liam laughed. "Yeah, I remember. What about it?" He asked nonchalantly. Why could he be so casual with it, but Harry couldn't? Harry silently scoffed to himself.

"Y-yeah, uhm, I was thinking if you, uhm, could help me? You know, picking some out...you don't have to, it's just, I'm so nervous about it and...I don't know." Harry stuttered out and Liam chuckled.

"Sure, Haz. You wanna go now?" He asked.

"I-if it's a-alright with you?"

"Harry, stop stuttering." Liam laughed. "It's completely normal. No need to be embarrassed."

"Yeah, I know. Sorry. Will you be ready in twenty?" Harry asked.

"Sure. I have Zayn's car, just come over when you're ready." Liam said and Harry agreed before they hung up.

Harry went upstairs to make the test he was dreading to do, but he needed clarity so he couldn't postpone it further. He's been with Louis for two weeks now and everything went great. They were back to normal, but this time they were even closer because they were an actual couple now. Harry saw that Louis had changed for the better and really made an effort to make their relationship work even though sometimes he still had a hard time, but it was nothing they couldn't get through together. Harry had successfully hid his secret from him because thankfully Louis was pretty busy with sorting everything in his Company out after he had practically dropped everything during the three weeks where he hadn't been sober. He had also managed to bring Emily back after a lot of convincing and apologizing a dozen times and even given her a raise. Desicive for Emily had been her conversation with Harry after he had explained everything to her- which Louis hadn't done because of his pride- and even offering to babysit her daughter if needed. Louis didn't need to know about that though.

With shaky hands Harry pulled out the test from the package and after following the instructions he got dressed quite anxiously waiting for the result. He had no idea what to do if it was positive. What he knew was that he had to tell Louis, but he dreaded it. He was sure Louis would freak out and probably kick him out and end their relationship banning him from his life forever, but he didn't want to think about that yet.

His alarm rang when five minutes were over and he walked over to the sink in the bathroom on wobbly legs and grabbed the test with shaky hands. He took a deep breath and squeezed his eyes shut before he finally had the balls to look at the result. Not pregnant.

"Oh thank fuck!" He breathed out and the knot in his stomach loosened. He steadied himself on the counter and let the good news sink in. He would never make the mistake of not taking his pills ever again, he was sure of it.

When he had calmed down he exited the house and walked over to Liam who was already waiting for him outside. Harry practically jumped in his steps suddenly very happy and he couldn't wait to surprise Louis tonight when he came home from work.

"Y'alright?" Liam smiled raising his eyebrows at Harry's appearance whose face changed to discomfort when it dawned him what they were about to do.

"Yeah, thanks for coming with me. That's so embarrassing." Harry whined with a deep red head.
