*Hollis' POV*

"Harry, let's go." I said. He nodded and grabbed my hand.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked. I nodded slowly.

"Okay." He said leading me to the car. The entire car ride was spent silent. Not a single word from us or the radio. He pulled into the doctors office and we got out at separate times. My mind kept playing tricks on me.

Should you be doing this?

It's for the best.

Are you sure about that?

Having a kid will ruin my collage scholarship.

But Harry will leave you.

Collage is more important. That will get me somewhere in life.

You love Harry so much you can't bear to see him go either.

I have to make a decision, and quickly before it's to late.

"Harry, I can't do this." I whispered.

"It's okay baby. Go do it." He said not looking at me.

"If it means losing you I can't do it. Harry I love you so much." I cried into his shirt.

"Baby calm down. Everything will be fine." He said rubbing my back.

"No it won't Harry. If I do this I will lose you if I don't do this I will lose my collage scholarship." I was crying even harder now.

"You have to make a decision Hollis." He said.

"I don't want to lose you." I said wrapping my arms around his waist, "I won't do it."

"Are you sure? What about collage?" He asked looking nice worried.

"I'll still go to collage. I'll just tell them I can't go in May. The baby will be born sometime in July the latest. I'll just go in September when the baby is born." I said wiping away the tears that were still falling.

"I love you." Harry smiled at me.

"I love you." I laughed and pressed my lips onto his. I took out my phone and called the doctors office. "We have an appointment in twenty minutes at the doctors office, I would actually go to. Let's go." He nodded and we got back into the car. He drove down to the doctor's office quickly.

"I'll go sign you in." He whispered in my ear. I nodded. I sat in a chair that was the furthest away from everyone. Harry came over and sat down next to me and took my hand in his.

"Harry," I whispered, "I'm so scared."

"Me too baby. Me too."

"Moritz." The nurse called.

"Ready?" Harry asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I mumbled and stood up.

"So, you think you're pregnant?" The nurse asked and I nodded. "Okay we'll take a look. Go sit down over there and pull your shirt up just so your stomach is showing." I did as told and walked over to the chair on the side of the room. Harry sat down next to me and I pulled my shirt up. I grabbed his hand and let out a shaky breath. "So this will be cold. I'm just going to put this on your stomach." She was right, it was freezing. She looked carefully at the screen, her eye brows knitting together.

"What's wrong?" I asked worried.

"This stupid thing won't turn on." She sighed. She pressed another button. "Ah, there we go." She giggled. She put the wand thing on my stomach and moved it around. "Well, you are indeed pregnant. If you look here," she turned the screen facing us, "you can see this little thing. That is your baby." She smiled.

"Do you know anything else? Like how far along I am?" I asked nervously.

"No. The doctor will tell you all of that. How old are you, if you don't mind me asking." She asked as she wiped the gel off my stomach.

"I'm seventeen." I mumbled.

"I was fifteen when I had my first child. I was so scared. I was only in year ten." She smiled.

"Did you think about getting an abortion?" I asked.

"Yes I did but if I did I would have lost everything. I wouldn't have my husband, and I wouldn't have my three lovely kids." She smiled.

"That's where I'm at right now. I don't know what to do. I was going to get an abortion this morning, but I had changed my mind. But as of right now, I don't know what to do." I said.

"Take my advice. Don't get an abortion. It'll only make things tougher then they already are." She said. "The doctor will be in shortly. Here's my number, call me if you need anything." She smiled.

"Thank you." I said tucking it into my pocket. Just then the doctor walked in.

"Hello Hollis. So, you're about a month and a half along. At this rate you baby will be born late June, early July." He said. "This is also the most risky time for you to have a miscarriage. It is not rare but it may happen. As a seventeen year old, I suspect you go to party's and drink and all of that, right?" He asked and I nodded. "Well that can't happen anymore. Drinking, smoking, or any type of drug can harm the baby and you may have a miscarriage. Also dangerous falls will also result into serious injuries to the child. At this time period, you will start having morning sickness and will have little miss swings. Nothing to drastic. You can't also eat some food like, seafood, or anything raw. I'm writing this all down for you just incase you want to know more information." He said handing me a piece of paper.

"Is that all?" I asked.

"No, you have to make another appointment a month from today. That is all." He said.

"Okay. Thank you for everything." I smiled and grabbed Harry's hand. We walked to the front desk to make another appointment.

"So an appointment on November twenty fifth at two." She said handing me a post it note with the information on it.

"Thank you." I said walking out of the doctors office.

"We're really doing this." Harry smiled tightening the grip he has on my hand.

"Yes. We really are."
