-Kyla's POV-

It's been two weeks since Evelyn found out she's pregnant. Since then, we have fully moved into our new apartment. Luckily, we had a lot of people help us move all our boxes around. Our apartment still needs a little work, but it's looking more and more like a home every day.

Evelyn kicks the door shut behind us as we put our groceries on the table. I start taking the food out of the bag as Evelyn asks, "How far away are Chris and Harry?"

"Probably about twenty minutes. Last I heard, they were leaving to pick up the takeaway," I reply.

"Dope. I'm so hungry," She replies as she looks at all the bags on the counter, "It's never a good idea to go grocery shopping when you're hungry."

I laugh, "Trust me, I know. That's why we ended up buying four types of ice cream."

"I have no idea why I have been craving ice cream so much. I swear it's all I could think about yesterday."

I give her a look, "I mean, you are eating for two now."

"I guess that's true," Evelyn smiles, her cheeks flushing a little. I'm about to open my mouth, but she cuts me off, already knowing what I'm going to say, "I promise I will tell Chris soon."

"Okay," I say, "But you have also promised that for the last two weeks. There's no actual rush, but I don't know. I just think that your boyfriend, who is also the father of your kid, should know you're pregnant."

"And he will. Soon," Evelyn repeats before she looks down at her stomach, "How long do you think I have before I start showing?"

"I have no clue. Maybe another month or two?" I offer, but then I add, "I pulled that out of my ass. I genuinely have no idea."

Evelyn smiles before looking a little nervous, "Is it bad that I'm kind of scared to tell him?"

"Not at all. But at the same time, I really don't think you have to be. I'd bet my bottom dollar that Chris is going to be the happiest person alive when he finds out."

"Bet your bottom dollar? What are you, 90?" Evelyn laughs.

"I actually don't know where that phrase came from," I admit with a laugh.

We finish putting the groceries away, and I clean up the kitchen as Evelyn lights a candle. The two of us then sit in the living room as we wait for the boys to arrive. After a few moments, Evelyn says, "You're right. Chris needs to know. I can't keep hiding something this important from him."

I nod as I reach for the TV remote, "When do you think you'll tell him?"

"Tonight."

I look at her in surprise, "Really?"

"Yeah," She shrugs, "There's no reason to wait."

There's a knock on the front door causing both of us to jump. We both stand up and walk to the door, opening it to reveal the boys with two bags of food.

"Hey," Harry smiles as he presses a quick kiss to my lips.

"Hey," I smile as I shut the door, "How was filming today?"

"Long, but good. I'm just happy to be here with you now," Harry says as he places the food on the table. He immediately turns around and wraps his arms around me as I laugh into his chest.

Ever since Evelyn and I moved here, Harry has been a lot more touchy and affectionate. I swear he's always pulling me into a hug or playing with my hands or twirling the ends of my hair, and I honestly can't say I hate it. Seeing him nearly every day has easily made all the hassle of moving here worth it. It's so different from when we were talking long distance. Everything is just better.

I pull away as Evelyn and Chris start taking out the food.

"I'm excited to start working again," I say, "It's going to be so cool to see the production side of the Sidemen videos."

"Everyone's going to love having you on set," Harry grins, "And I know you're going to get along with everyone in production. I'm pretty sure Kon is going to be training you."

"He's with Kirsty, right?" I ask. Harry has been informing me about everyone in his circle. I met a few people at the Halloween party, but I swear this man knows a million people.

"Yeah. Nice memory," Harry nods, sounding impressed. I smile as Evelyn hands me a plate.

The four of us grab our food before sitting in the living room. I flip through a few channels before landing on a random film that Chris said he wanted to watch. I realize no one got drinks so I stand up and ask everyone what they want. Evelyn immediately stands up and offers to get them with me, and the two of us walk to the kitchen.

I pull out two beers and two waters from the fridge. As I grab a bottle opener to open the beers, Evelyn says in a quiet voice, "Do you think it's the right time to tell him? Chris is in a really good mood right now."

"I'm not going to tell you what to do. But if you want my honest opinion, I think his mood is only going to improve when you do tell him."

"You really think so?"

"I do," I say, picking up the two beer bottles as Evelyn grabs the waters.

Evelyn breathes out, "Okay. I'll tell him after the movie... Probably."

I laugh, knowing she's said the same thing every single day for the last week, "Okay."

We return to the living room and I hand Harry and Chris their drinks. I relax back into my seat as the movie starts. I can tell by the way Evelyn is sitting that she's nervous, but the boys don't seem to notice. I completely understand why she is scared to tell everyone, but I honestly couldn't be more excited. Selfishly, I'm really looking forward to being an aunt, but I also know that Evelyn and Chris are going to be the best parents. Everyone, including Chris, is going to be so happy for her, and I can't wait until everyone finally knows that she's pregnant.
