Harry's POV:

I woke up to find Louis asleep in the chair next to me and a blanket I don't remember putting on myself laying across my abdomen. The pillow really worked great. I'm going to have to use it more often. I hear a knock on the door and get dressed quickly. It was Niall.

"Hey, Louis's asleep so be quiet. I'm going to go into our room, if you get food bring me some." I say and walk into the house with Niall in tow.

My back has been killing me from this baby. I sit down on the bed with pillows under my lower back. There want much to see when it came to my stomach but I could see a little bump compared to my normally flat stomach. I place my hands on top and just talk to my baby.

"Hey baby. I am so excited to meet you. I know Louis will be so excited! I'm hoping Louis's your dad. I don't think that Nick is your dad though. You'll have a play buddy or two hopefully. JJ will absolutely love you and Aunt Gemma will too. I need to find out how to tell Louis about you." I was rubbing a circular motion on my stomach. "I hope you're going to be good and not hurt my back anymore than you already are. You're really a little surprise. I hadn't even noticed I was late. But I found out about you. I ended up throwing up on the doctor's floor when they told me about you. I was so happy but worried too. I'm taking vitamins to make you strong. It's a risky pregnancy but I'll do anything to keep you safe. I love yo..."

I was cut off my Niall coming into the room. He shut the door behind him.

"Why are you talking to your stomach?" Niall inquires as the door finishes closing.

"I wasn't." I defend myself hoping he won't see through the lie.

"I was outside the door Harry. I heard you. Are you really?"

"Yes."

"It's from the time you guys screwed each other in the bakery, isn't it?"

"The doctor said three months, but I didn't sleep with anyone in December. So it might be and two months and maybe they look similar."

"Is it Louis's?" Niall asks concerned.

"That's where I'm confused. I didn't sleep with anyone in December and Louis and I have only ever used protection. But we did a test today. So, in a week I'll know. But he doesn't know about the test or the pregnancy, so you can't tell him." I explain.

"My lips are sealed." He says signaling the same thing.

I hug him and hold my hands out and he places his hands in mine and I move them to be on my stomach. It felt good to tell someone else this secret instead of keeping it inside of my head.

"Woah!" Niall says.

He must have realized how hard my stomach was to accommodate the baby, which is another reason I didn't let Louis touch my stomach. Especially since he is a labor and delivery nurse and knows all of the signs of pregnancy.

"That's crazy. You're growing a human in your body right now!" Niall practically yells.

"Niall, be quiet. It's a secret." I say covering his mouth.

He removes my hand and continues to glance at my stomach.

"You can't tell you're pregnant. You don't have a bump."

"That's a good thing for now." I mutter.

I hear footsteps and quickly remove Niall's hands and pull my shirt back down. He looks at me and I point my finger towards the door as it opens to reveal Louis.

"Hey Niall, sorry I was asleep." Louis apologizes.

Niall waves his hand at him. "It's okay, I hung out with Harry."

Louis crawls onto the bed and pulls me into a hug. "Did you learn anything new about him?"

"Not really, he's really boring."

"Not my Angel." Louis said dumbfounded.

"He just has nothing new. He never gossips with me." Niall says keeping my secret that I told him to himself.

---

It's been a week and I'm waiting for the results. Niall was in the room with me while Louis is at work. It was almost eleven o'clock.

"Are you hungry?" Niall asks.

"Yes, could you bring some grapes and chocolate syrup for me, or no make that pickles and chocolate syrup." I correct.

"Of course." Niall said and walks away.

As soon as he leaves, I'm ready for him to come back. I haven't liked being alone lately. I'm waiting for my next ultrasound. I haven't made an appointment for it yet. I'm waiting to find out if Louis is the father of my baby. He's been gone for three minutes and the phone rings. It reads the number for the clinic.

"Niall! It's them!"

He comes running back and hands me my bowl. I answer the phone and put it on speaker.

"Hello?"

"Hello, may I please speak to a Mr. Harry Styles?"

"This is he. How may I help you?"

"We have to asks few security questions just to ensure that we have the right person. Is that okay?"

"Perfectly understandable. Please continue." I grab a piece  pickle and eat it. It tastes like heaven. I offer one to Niall but he refuses.

"Okay, may I have your full name and birthday?"

"Harry Edward Styles. February first, nineteen ninety four."

"Okay, thank you and the name and birthday of your partner you came in with."

"Louis William Tomlinson. December twenty fourth, nineteen ninety one."

"Okay and we're almost done. How far along are you?"

"Three months."

"Is there anyone around you that you wish to not hear the information about to be disclosed?"

"No, it's only my coworker and best friend. He's the only one who knows and I am perfectly fine with him knowing."

"Okay, it's been a week since your non-invasive paternity test and the gentleman that you brought with you, Louis William Tomlinson is..."
