It was the next morning and Harry awoke at 7am, and realised it was Bella's day off. He got out of bed and but didn't see that she was in bed, but heard the water running. Harry walked towards the door, opening the door where she was washing her hands "Good morning, lovely." "Good morning." Bella got the towel and dried her hands "Are you okay this morning?" "I'm doing okay, since I'm off today, I'll probably file some reports for my previous appointments, since you have me every Tuesday, it's my day to think about myself and to look after myself." "That's true, I finish at 4 tonight, so how about we go out tonight?" "Where?" "How about we go out drinking?" "Where?" "The Volks Nightclub." "I'll think about it, if I don't want to go, can we just sit in tonight?" "Of course." Bella nodded, putting the towel away.
Harry walked over to her, and leaned down, placing a kiss to her lips. Harry pulled back, helping her up, taking her downstairs to the sofa, "Instead of going out later, how about on my way home later, you can get yourself dressed into something gorgeous and then we can go out around 5:45?" "Umm sure, but I need to tell you something." "What's going on?" Bella sat on the sofa, "Harry, I need to tell you something." "What's wrong?" "I woke up at 6:45 as I wasn't feeling very well, and I was sick." "Physically threw up?" "Yeah." "Did you make sure to take a pregnancy test?" "I did, but something happened." "What happened?" Bella ran upstairs and opened the bathroom drawer, and got the positive pregnancy test out, and walked downstairs, sitting down on Harry's lap. Harry wrapped an arm around her waist "So, what do you need to tell me?" Bella turned it over to face downwards "Well, since I've been struggling to have a baby for four years and now it's been four years since we had Maisie," "Yeah, what's this about? Why is there a pregnancy test in your lap?" Bella looked at Harry with tears in her eyes.
Harry slipped one hand around her, pulling her back and she leaned into his chest, "So, I wasn't expecting to announce this to you at any point this October and then this happens." "What happened?" Bella turned the Clearblue test around to have it face up. Harry looked it at it and then at her and hugged her tightly "I've seen how you play with my family, and now we're having a little one." "Yeah, when Maisie gets up, I'll tell her." Bella heard moving around from her daughter's bedroom. She got up, walking upstairs, walking upstairs to her daughter's bedroom "Good morning, princess." "Good morning, mummy." Bella sat on the bed with her daughter "So, sweetheart, how would you feel to be a big sister?" "Umm, there will be a mini me running around." "Yes there will be in 9 months." "Mummy's having a baby?" "Yes mummy is carrying a baby, sweetheart." Maisie climbed into Bella's lap and laid her head on her chest. Bella held her and stood up, walking in her bedroom, sitting on the bed with her on her lap.
Harry walked upstairs and smiled at the scene "Want me to call in work and the school?" "Yes please, Harry. Gwna fe te. (Go ahead)" "G, what now?" "Go ahead in Welsh." "Oh okay, you know Welsh?" "Taught myself in year 11." "Oh okay." "Harry, what's wrong?" Bella put Maisie down on the bed and moved over to Harry and moved behind him and wrapped her arms around his neck "What's the matter?" "Nothing." "Harry, tell me what's wrong. Let's go in the other room." Harry nodded, getting up. Bella walked with Harry into the spare room, sitting next to him "What's going on?" "I couldn't say this in front of Maisie." "Harry, what is it?" "I've been using again." "Using?" "Relapse." "With? Pills?" "No," "Nicotine?" He nodded "I'm really sorry." "Why are you saying sorry?" "I fucked up." "You didn't. It's okay." Harry nodded, getting up, walking downstairs to the kitchen, getting the pack.
Bella came downstairs "I see." Bella got her lighter from the cupboard, walking over to Harry and lit it for him. Harry walked outside and sat down at the table. Bella came outside with Harry, sitting next to him "Don't you have work at 9?" "I do, but I don't know if I should go in." "You need to, I've got a pretty handsome firefighter of a husband." "Okay, fine." Bella looked at Harry, getting up, walking over to him, sitting on his lap. Harry held her, and moved it away from her "I'm not doing this near you as you're pregnant." "Okay." Bella looked over at Harry, and placed her head on his shoulder "You tired?" "Yeah. Pregnancy is making me tired." "How far along did it say on the test?" "3+ weeks." "Oh I see." Bella nodded, walking inside and upstairs to the bedroom where Maisie was sitting against Harry's pillows. Bella got under the sheets.
Bella looked at Harry who was coming upstairs "I need to head to work, and need to take Maisie to school, will you be okay here on your own?" "Yeah, I hope so, if not, I'll say something and let you know." "Please let me know if something's the matter." "Harry, I will, but right now, please get ready for work." Harry lifted his daughter up and walked into her bedroom, getting her changed.
It was later on around 3pm when Bella was in the car, waiting outside of Maisie's school as she pulled up outside of the gate, getting out of the car, walking inside of the gate and up to the reception gate where she was. Bella kneeled down but saw her daughter was crying. Maisie ran over to her. Bella caught her in her arms, and stood up, walking back to the car, getting her in her car seat, and buckled her in "Should we get milkshakes?" "Yes." Bella looked over at the road and drove off.
15 minutes later, Bella pulled up into a parking space and got out, and lifted Maisie out, and picked her up, locking the car, and put her down, and held her hand as they walked to the door as Bella opened the door, walking in with her daughter, and up to the front "Hi, what can I get you two today?" "Can I please get one chocolate shake, a lotus biscoff shake, and one portion of the boardwalk-style fries please?" "Of course, anything else?" "That's it." "That'll come to £17.85 please." Bella got her card out of her pocket, and tapped the card reader and took Maisie over to the table and sat her down on a chair "Okay, baby girl." Bella sat in front of her, as the number was called. Bella got the drinks and the food. She put them down on the table as her phone started ringing "Hello?" "Hey beautiful." "Oh hey Harry." "Where are you?" "Five guys with Maisie, why?" "I've finished work early." "Oh okay, come and meet us then." "I will, don't you worry." The two hung up the phone.
Bella sat down with her daughter, "Daddy's on his way," "Okay." Bella smiled at her daughter "Mummy?" "Yes sweetheart?" "How come I'm so small at 4?" "That's because you're premature, which means that you were tiny when you born and so was I, don't you worry." "What about dad?" "Your father was a big strong baby." Harry pulled up 25 minutes later, Harry walked in and walked up to the blonde who was sitting down with Maisie, and sat next to her, "Hey." "Hi, how was work?" "Good, how was your day off?" "Great." Harry kept his word and spent the rest of his day with his beautiful wife and daughter, who he would always keep in his hearts, even when the little one arrives.
