Anna- 22
Harry- 22

~May 29th, 2016~

Harry POV:

We sit anxiously on the overstuffed couch in the media room, watching different members of our families join the conference call on the big screen. Oma had messaged Anna to tell her that aunt Heidi was at their house, wondering if she could be in on the call, too. Since she is staring at us right now, she obviously got the go ahead to join us.

It is like a strange Brady Bunch moment. All of the people we love, in squares on the screen in front of us, greeting one another as we wait for the remaining spots to be filled by a few more family members. Anna sits, in one of my Adidas jumpers, which is way too big for her, and she isn't even showing more than a smidge- maybe, so I don't know what exactly she is trying to hide.

"Good evening, darlings," Mum is the first one to address us after our greeting as she called in. "Harry, dear, how was filming this week?"

"Cold, and wet," I told her, because I spent a few days towards the end of the week in the water on a big soundstage built to look like a ship. "We have a couple more weeks in California, then we have to fly to France for a week, then back to California again." I tell her.

"Anna, dear, how is work for you?" mum asks not wanting her to be left out.

"It's busy, but good. I am working on Ben and Meredith's house in Los Angeles," she tells her and I interrupt-

- "Yeah, it is actually pretty close to our house here."

The last two people log in and get settled. Now that Sofie and Luke are on, I look at Anna and she nods at me.

"Well, everybody. We wanted to tell you some exciting news about our upcoming schedules with work and some new projects that we were surprised to get," I say and Anna holds in a smirk.

"First, I have officially signed the recording deal for my first solo album. Jeff and I decided to go with Columbia and I am also starting my own record label to partially release under, keeping all of the masters under that label, in association with Columbia."

Quite a few people ask questions about the solo album, but after a few minutes, I steer them to move on to the next point.

"I will wrap shooting Dunkirk in late August, or early September. The plan, right now, is to head straight from there to Jamaica to record some of the tracks for the album, and continue with the song writing process. But," I start to say, and pause, looking at Anna and she nods, smiling at me. "That will really all depend on how Anna is doing."

"Do you have a big project coming up, too, Anna?" Anna's mom asks, and I notice that Sofie is wearing a knowing smirk (probably using her sister telepathy to figure it out).

"You could say that. I have a project that Harry and I are both working on that will be completed in early winter. Likely around the beginning of December," I say and start to see a combination of looks of confusion and excitement, as people seem to be catching on.

"Just tell us what the project is already!!" Sofie huffs, as Luke tries to contain her.

I squeeze Anna's thigh, and nod for her to tell them. "WE'RE PREGNANT!!!" she says loudly, and the screaming echos through the speakers, filling the living room in congratulations. I am not sure there is a dry face left among us. I was not expecting it, but Gemma is the first to ask questions.

"So, wait..." she says, then pauses, "how far along are you?"

"I am thirteen weeks tomorrow," I tell them, expecting there to be a lot of gasps, and there were.
