Harry resorted to wearing just oversized t-shirts with a pair of panties (much to his delight) as his pregnancy progressed, complaining about how itchy and irritating the fabric of pants was against his 'sensitive' skin. Obviously, Louis had no objection to the sudden move, but it did get a little agitating when Harry would just prance around the house with barely any clothes on, and relentlessly tantalize him to no end. "And they lived happily ever after." He rolled his eyes for what felt like the thousandth time just in the span of the last two hours, glancing down beside him to see Harry watching the telly with wide, sparkling eyes. It seemed as if he really enjoyed the stupid, sappy animated movie created obviously for kids.

"That was so beautiful," Harry heaved out an exaggerated sigh, wriggling even closer to him. "Beautiful my arse. That was the most—" He trailed off, jaw going slack once he noticed the look on Harry's face. "It's obviously more than just beautiful." It didn't take a second for Harry's once quivering lips to pull up in a grin. Stupid, stupid. He couldn't be agreeing to Harry's whims or whatever it was that Harry said. That was plainly pathetic. "I'll fetch some snacks from downstairs, you need anything?" He stopped by the doorway of their bedroom, suppressing a sigh at the look of contemplation on Harry's face. "No, I kinda just had a bowl of salad, think I'm not too hungry." As if to highlight his words, Harry patted his round belly.

The bump was so fucking noticeable now towards the end of the sixteenth week. At first, when Harry's stomach had started jutting out, Louis had walked in on the omega examining his constantly-transforming body in the decent-sized mirror. He had been too shocked to even move initially, but when he had somehow landed back on the earth, he was scared to admit to himself just how hot Harry looked with a baby bump (maybe, it was because Harry was carrying his pup— it had had his inner alpha go absolutely crazy). But then the deep-rooted commitment issues Everett always rebuked him about kicked in back with a vengeance, and Louis' mind had somehow shed the limelight on the result of the pregnancy, not the process itself.

He still remembered how he had squinted first, trying to get a proper view of a naked Harry and his beloved bump, and then had sprinted out of the room as discreetly as he could. The next time he had seen Harry's bare bump had been just a day or two after he had accidentally walked in on Harry changing. This time around though, Harry had been the one to walk in on him being stark naked, casual as ever, as he had sluggishly made his way up to the sink, eyes swollen and cheeks sporting sleep-creases. "Good morning to you, too." Startled, Harry jumped a little before he regained his composure, a calming hand placed on his bare chest as he stared with wide eyes at Louis through the mirror.

"Why are you here? I thought you would be gone by now." Harry mumbled through a yawn, hands absentmindedly tracing circles on his stomach. His gaze flickered towards the omega's stomach before he was forcing himself to direct it anywhere else. He couldn't bear looking at it without thinking of how Harry was carrying his child, and whenever that thought would start to harbor a sturdy home in his mind, his usually well-hidden possessive nature would pounce back into existence. He didn't want to freak Harry out, especially after he had shit-talked his way through the first rut he had spent with an omega, vague blabbers of filling Harry up with his pups still haunting his mind to his day in the middle of the night. "We're meeting Athena today, remember?" With the inception of the second trimester, the extreme fatigue and lethargy had disappeared.
