*UNEDITED + a bit of a time skip

"Zain," Harry groaned, throwing head head back and clenching his teeth, "she just kicked me in my spine."

"Sorry baby," Zain whispered, biting Harry's neck and cupping his breasts. "Your boobs have gotten a big bigger too."

"Boobs?" Harry raised a brow. "Don't call them that, it's weird."

"What do you want me to call them then?" Zain teased. "That's exactly what they are."

"Ugh," Harry rolled his eyes, wrapping his arms around Zain's neck, "you're exhausting."

"Thank you babe." Zain said smugly, pulling away from Harry's grip and laying down at his belly. "You're huge baby, how many weeks are you?"

"Um," Harry rubbed his hands over his bare belly, hissing as Zain bit his thigh, "27 weeks tomorrow I think."

Zain licked the inside of Harry's thigh and sat up. "We need to go pick out nursery furniture tomorrow," he sighed. Harry nodded, closing his eyes.
"Yeah but..." He yawned, "can we sleep now? I'm so tired."

"Of course babes." Zain leaned forward and kissed Harry's butterfly tattoo. He then maneuvered around Harry and laid next to him, gripping his thighs and pulling Harry's legs over his. "Love you."

"Love you too," Harry mumbled tiredly.

"I like this one," Harry pointed out, grazing his hands across a gray reclining chair. "That way either of us can sleep in the nursery or feed Darcy in there."

"Yeah," Zain agreed, "it's pretty nice innit. You should test it out."

"Me?" Harry raised a brow. "I'll probably break it."

But Harry sat in the chair anyways, leaning back in it. It rocked a little, but overall the chair was very comfortable. He stood up with a little help from Zain and turned to face the chair. "Yeah I like that one. Can we get it?"

"Yeah," Zain nodded. "It's pretty nice. What about cribs?"

"Um," Harry shrugged. "Dunno. You can pick that out. I'm exhausted."

"Tired already?" Zain smiled and kissed Harry's cheek. "'S she being good for you?"

"Yeah." Harry grinned into the kiss.

"Zain?" Harry called from the kitchen. He had poured himself a glass of milk and had out a bag of Doritos, with one in his hand. "You'll love me no matter what, right?"

"Yes baby," Zain said idly, walking into the kitchen just in time to catch Harry dipping his Dorito in milk and eating it. "Except, maybe, for that. That was gross."

"I can't help it," Harry rolled his eyes. "But it's pretty good, come try it."
Zain stepped away from Harry, holding his hands up. "I'm good baby, thanks though."

Harry shrugged, dipping another Dorito into the milk and eating it. "Oh," Harry gasped. "She's moving around a lot."

"Yeah?" Zain encouraged, leaning back against the kitchen counter and crossing his arms over his chest. He watched as Harry stroked his belly, frowning slightly. "What's the matter?"

"I don't know," Harry shook his head, "she's just moving around a lot."
Zain poured himself a cup of tea, eyeing Harry warily. Of course, he wasn't exactly worried about Harry. The brunette had read up on lots of pregnancy and parenting books and blogs and magazines; he had this all under control.

But... Harry looked kind of confused as to why Darcy was moving around so much. Or maybe it just felt weird. "Want some tea?" Zain asked Harry. The brunette stared at him momentarily before nodding.

"Can we watch The Notebook?" Harry asked as they settled on to the couch. Zain sighed heavily.

"Haven't you watched that movie, like, 50 times already?" Zain asked.

Harry shrugged, "maybe. But I like it. So can we?"

"Sure," Zain mumbled and began searching for it on Netflix.

💜

"You arsehole!" Harry hissed and he climbed out of bed for the 4th time that night to pee. The comment woke Zain and, of course, made him snort — but he quickly fell asleep again, waking once more as Harry crawled back into bed next to him.

"What was that about, baby?" Zain asked when he woke up again and saw that Harry was already awake.
"Dunno," Harry shrugged. "Had to pee a lot last night, though. 'Was great."

"Sorry baby," Zain apologized as he rubbed Harry's thigh.
"You should be!" Harry snapped, but immediately recoiled, biting his bottom lip. "Sorry— I didn't mean to snap. It's these stupid hormones."

"It's fine, Haz." Zain craned his neck to kiss Harry's lips before getting up to make breakfast. "I'll make breakfast, okay?"

"Okay," Harry nodded slowly, blinking quickly to keep himself from crying, "thank you."

"Don't cry," Zain wiped Harry's tears with his thumb and leaned down to kiss the corner of his eye. "It's okay baby. I'm going to make breakfast, I'll be downstairs if you need me, okay?"

Harry nodded, wiping his face and crawling out of bed and making his way to the bathroom. Zain watched him, only turning away when Harry closed the bathroom door and the shower turned on.

"Hey," Zain greeted his boyfriend when he noticed Harry walking down the staircase. "How was your shower?"

"S' nice," Harry ran his fingers through his damp hair. "Louis, my friend, called and said he needed someone to watch his kid for the weekend so... I said yes. I hope you don't mind?"

"Not at all." Zain took another bite of his toast. "It'd be nice having someone here other than us."

"Yeah," Harry smiled, kissing the corner of Zain's mouth. He grabbed the kettle and poured himself a cuppa. "Sorry about this morning."

"It's okay baby," Zain soothed. "I know you can't help it."
"But I can!" Harry protested, sitting down at the dining room table. "If I could just... not be so uptight all the time, maybe that would help. I feel so bad for yelling at you."

"Haz," Zain said firmly, "it's okay. It's just your hormones, baby. I know you don't mean it."
"I know baby." Harry sighed. "Thanks."

"That's what boyfriends are for." Zain said smugly, winking at Harry.
The brunette scoffed, rolling his eyes, "you are unbelievable."
