His Ex-Husband

Prologue

"Mummy! Please let me call daddy!" Louis looked at his 5 years old daughter as she has concern all over her face when Louis was vomiting in the toilet.
"It's ok, baby. Mummy will be fine soon. It's just that I ate something that’s why I fell sick."  Louis said.
"Is it my fault? Because I told you to cook chocolate sandwiches, did it make you sick? Are you in pain mummy?" Scarlett asked oh-so-concernedly, making Louis laugh.
"I'm fineee. Stop worrying." Louis kissed Scarlett's nose. "I love you."
"EW! Only boys love girls, mummy! I'm a girl and you are my mummy ... how can you say I love you to me?" Scarlett spoke with disgust making Louis burst into laughter.

"Hello??? Daddy? Please come home." Louis's eyes widened as Scarlett picked up the phone to talk to her father.  Louis immediately snatched the phone and disconnected it.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, SCARLETT?!" Louis got angry. "Mummy and daddy are not married anymore, don't call him. He only visits once every week to check on you and your sibling, that's it."
Harry and Louis had gotten divorced 3 months ago, after 6 years of marriage. But a month ago Louis came to know that he is pregnant with their second child. They both had a very stressful marriage so they decided to get separated. Harry was supposed to marry Sophia...Louis's stepsister who he had loved since childhood. But Sophia ran away from the marriage on their wedding day because she had fallen in love with another man. To save their family's honors, The Tomlinson family decided to get Louis, Sophia's younger step-sibling married to Harry Styles. And the Styles family agreed, while Harry married Louis for his family's honor too as his grandfather's health was serious at that time and he didn't want him to suffer any humiliation. But Harry never loved Louis for being related to Sophia who had broken his heart beyond repair, he hardly ever spent any time with Louis anyway. Therefore, they finally got divorced when they can’t even see each other without any fight....

"Hi, beautiful." Harry greeted Scarlett that day as he came to the house; Louis was busy working on some project as he is an interior designer so he didn't come down to meet him.
"You came, daddy? Just because I called?" Scarlett jumped happily as Harry took her into his arms and showered her face with his kisses.
"Of course, I came. I canceled 5 meetings for you. Anything for my princess." He chuckled. "So, why did you call me?"
"Mummy….. is not doing well," Scarlett spoke concernedly while Harry's face hardened at the mention of  him.
"Oh. Okay." Harry put Scarlett in front of a TV where she was watching some animations and went inside.

"Harry, hey," Louis said when he saw Harry come inside his office. He wanted to laugh at the way he called him "Harry" instead of "Hazza" now…

"Hey.  You okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, I am. Scarlett is just…....  she got so worried for nothing."  He said.
"She's just my baby. I love her so much." Harry shrugged.
"I love her more." Louis laughed.
Harry rolled his eyes and then glared at him. "NO!! No one loves my Scarlett more than me. It sucks that you got her custody."
He sighed. "Why will the court give a child's custody to a man who hardly spent even an hour with his husband? When you came home at night, we'd just make love - oops, 'sex' like you used to call it..not love... other than that we never spent any time together."
Louis bit his lip sadly. "Harry…. you used to go on business trips for months. You once even left me for more than 2 years."
Harry's jaw clenched. "I'm not here to discuss all this. Come out, Scarlett must be feeling lonely."

Scarlett was eating her cotton candy and kept looking at Harry and then Louis. She was sitting in-between them on the sofa as they all were watching tv.
"Daddy!" she snuggled closer to Harry and he looked at her adoringly.
"yes princess?" he asked adorably.
"Will you give me something if I ask you?" Scarlett asked hopefully.
"Of course. I can buy the whole world for you if you want." Harry said.
"Nooooo…..I don't want thattt…." Scarlett sighed. "I...I just want you to spend time with me and mummy till the baby comes. Can you do that?"
Harry and Louis's eyes widened. His jaw dropped and then he cleared his throat awkwardly.
"Scarlett, we are no more together. I-"
"Please? Pretty please? With cherries, raspberries, strawberries, apples, watermelons mangoes, and grapes on top?" Scarlett laughed and he sighed deeply.
"No," Harry answered making Scarlett's eyes immediately fill up with tears. He gasped and hugged her.
"ALRIGHT! Okay, sweetheart. Ssh. I will. I will."  He decided which made Louis look at him with a lump in his throat.
Does he have to spend these next months of his pregnancy with his ex-husband?!!!!
