Louis woke up inhaling sharply and sat up in his bed. He was sweating and his heart was beating fast. He just had a dream about Harry. Scratch that. A nightmare.

If he remembered it correctly he had been awfully pregnant in his dream. He knew he could get pregnant but that was absurd. Even worse, Harry had walked up on him doing the dishes. Now he knew it was a nightmare. He hated doing the dishes. Anyway, Harry had snuck his arms around him and kissed his neck, caressing the huge baby bump, and called him some ridiculous pet name, like honey, and then proceeded to say my omega.

He wasn't stupid. He knew that Harry was his soulmate. Maybe he had refused to acknowledge that at first but his inner omega made sure he knew. It scared the living crap out of him for many reasons. He finally had a job and he loved it. What if Harry was one of those alphas who thought that an omegas place was at home? He could use his alpha voice on him, forcing him to obey him. Louis loved his independence.

Secondly, he didn't like the whole concept of soulmates. It was pretty stupid. The universe or whatever decided who he was gonna love. Again, his choice was taken away from him.

Thirdly, he didn't wanna be one of those people who became a shitty friend or family member just because they found their soulmate. No, thank you. He liked his life just as it was. He didn't need that complication.

He realized that he didn't actually know Harry well enough to make those kinds of assumptions about him and well, he wasn't planning to get to know him either!

He headed to work and went directly to the rink and put on his skates. He ran a lap by himself feeling free. This was what life was about. Not stupid nightmares about being pregnant. If he was honest with himself he wanted kids. Maybe not now but in the future. Pregnancy scared him though, or labor more exactly. How was he supposed to push a baby out of his ass?

People started to arrive. A family of four skated around. Two kids, maybe 3 and 5 tried to skate. The mum and dad were holding the hands of the three-year-old while the five-year-old only held on to her dad, almost falling. Louis rolled up to them.
"Hi, you're a really good skater." He complimented the older child and glanced at the parents to make sure they were okay with him approaching.

"Can you hold my hand? I'm scared of falling." The girl said.

Louis looked at the parents again to make sure they were okay with it. They nodded his head. Sometimes his omega status came in handy. They didn't consider him a threat.

He took the girl's hand and started to skate at the same pace as the parents. She was very talkative and he smiled at her.

He looked up and spotted Harry watching him. He had a fond smile on display. Louis didn't want to deal with the emotions that gave him and said goodbye to the family and skated off. He skated a lap around the rink and when he reached the spot where Harry had been he was no longer there.

He saw him at lunchtime though. Niall had just informed him that he was going out on a date with his sister when Harry walked into the break room and Louis stopped mid-sentence arguing why Niall couldn't date his sister. Harry poured himself a cup of coffee before he turned around.
"Instead of being negative, Louis, can't you just be happy for them?"

"It's not like they're getting married but fine, you have me blessing Niall but if you hurt her I'll kill you." Louis muttered.

"That's more like it." Harry smiled.

Louis rolled his eyes at him. Niall looked happy.
"I'm not gonna hurt her. Promise."

Before Louis could answer Liam and Zayn came running into the break room.
"We're getting married!"

Harry choked on his coffee and started to cough. Louis stared at them.
"What? You haven't even been dating for two months."

"We're soulmates, why wait?" Liam smiled happily.

Louis looked over at Harry and made eye contact. He could see that Harry was thinking the same thing.
"What's the rush?" Harry asked.

Liam and Zayn looked between them.
"We hoped you would be more supportive." Zayn said.

"Yeah, especially since we want you two to be our best men," Liam said.

"We know this is right. Just because you two..." Zayn argued upset but Liam shook his head and Zayn shut up. "Never mind."

"I'm your best man?" Louis asked Liam.

"Of course!" Liam replied.

Louis got up to hug him.
"I get to plan the bachelor party?"

"Yes. Ehm, you and Harry." Liam said.

Crap! Louis refused to look at Harry who came up and hugged Zayn and congratulated him. Niall threw himself in the mix.
"I love weddings!"

What happens next?
