As they all knew, Harry was pregnant. They got three pregnancy tests, and funny enough, it was Zayn who made Harry pee in all of them. They lined them up on the sink of their bathroom and waited and waited and waited. It felt like hundred years when it didn't take more than five minutes. They didn't know they were holding their breath until the lines started to show up.
"What did two lines mean again?" Harry whispered to Zayn, who was awfully quiet next to him.
"Positive." He replied, also in a whisper.
"Okay... So, we have six lines, right? So, that means, uh, we are?"
"Yes babe. We are. We are! I love you so fucking much, babe. Thank you, thank you for loving me, thank you for giving me another little us." Zayn yelled, cupping Harry's face and dragging him for a kiss.
"I love you too, Z. Oh fuck, baby! We are gonna be dads again. I'll get round, like a watermelon."
"I'll be high on your watermelon sugar all the time, then. You'll be the sexiest watermelon in the world. And then you are going to give me a little watermelon, just as cute as you."
"You throw at me cheesy stuff from time to time, but I gotta give it to that line right there, it was the cheesiest, bestest line ever. I fucking adore you. And no wonder why I've wanting to like, eat you more than what I usually want. I just thought, dunno, that was normal."
"Shuddup. I'll deny it if you make it public. Oh shit, we need to book an appointment. Think Ele would help? We need to confirm it to the boys, Niall was pretty anxious. I think he also wants to help planning the weeding. Oh! We have a fuckton of things to do."
"Easy baby. Let's go step by step. First, we'll call our parents to tell'em, then we call the boys and then we ask for Ele's doc number."
"Look at you go, all calmed and focused."
"No, m' loosing my shit and I need you to hold me because I feel like m' gonna pass out. Mum is gonna be all over us, wanting to come and all."
"I figured" Zayn giggled, making fun of his fiancé. "Mom is gonna be like that, too. Do we want them, though? To be like that, I mean?"
"Dunno. M' scared enough as it is right now, I don't think adding more to it is good. You think they would be mad if I ask to let us handle it our way?"
"Don't think so. They are amazing and I know they'll understand our request. I also don't want you to stress, yeah? We are going through this together."
"Together." Harry nodded, melting into a puddle of locks, inside Zayn's embrace.
They were waiting for Maddie to come from school to let her know, even if Zayn had been doing some reading on how to handle the pregnancy news. He read some people would wait until the first trimester to be done before getting started with ultrasounds and giving every one the news. They were too excited to wait that long, though.
They did as Harry said. Called their parents, who of course freaked out and wanted to get on a plane despite been in the middle of the night in the UK. Harry and Zayn had to actively ask them to calm down, that they didn't even know how far long Harry was. When they relaxed, Zayn promised to call them to give updates.
They facetimed with the boys and Zayn was right, Niall was over the moon about helping to plan the wedding. They spoke with Ele, who gave them her doctor's number and she said he was the best.
The appointment was given for Saturday. They had still two days to go and they wanted to know everything already. Waiting would be so fucking hard.
Maddie arrived about an hour or so after they spoke with the boys. Zayn had her afternoon snack ready, and Harry was sitting in the couch, dying to just spill it all out, but he calmed himself down.
