Living with One Direction (Hariana)

-176-: Harry comes back and arguments

Harry had two days left of the tour before returning home. It was a bit overcast so I stayed inside for majority of the day. I was doing a load of laundry when a wave of exhaustion washed over me. I fumbled over to the couch and fell asleep. I woke up for the need to pee mixed with the need of food. I went to the bathroom, then to the kitchen.

"There's not a ton of options, Toulouse." I sighed. "I swear if I have to go out and get more food I will die."

All Toulouse did was flop onto the kitchen floor and fall asleep. I rummaged through the fridge and pantry until I found something that settled.

I took the head of broccoli and some peanut butter with the last bit of pickles. I cut the pickles into slices, put the peanut butter on and put a small piece of broccoli on top. I ate the snack with pleasure as it started to drizzle outside. I took my plate and walked over to the screen door.

"Even though it's raining, it's still very calming. I can't wait to be able to hold you in my arms little one. I really hope you're a boy, you're gonna love your dad. Even though he's gonna be touring for most of your life, your father is going to love you like there's no tomorrow when he's home." Baby Styles kicked, my eyes filled with tears. "Only a couple more days before he's back."

The day seemed to take it's time. Baby Styles was kicking like crazy, and something was stuck in my mind. The envelope with baby Styles' gender in it. I got up from the couch and waddled up the stairs and into the drawer where I kept it. I sat on the bed, my hands were shaking. I really wanted to know the gender of the baby..... but...... something was stopping me. Maybe it was the fact that Harry wasn't here and he also wanted to know.

"Should I open the envelope, Toulouse?" I looked over to the dog. "I mean, Harry really wants to know the gender and I do too. It's just that I think he'd want to be here to find out the gender with me."

I took a deep breath and slowly opened it. I slowly put my hand into the opening and took out the photo. My eyes welled up with tears as I looked over it. I finally knew the gender of the baby. I can't wait for little hood to be here. I can't wait to tell Harry when he gets back.

*the next day*

It was an over cast kind of day but it was humid. Sierra came over for the day as we talked about how different both of our lives would be once our children were born. We were outside on the cement ground with outdoor deck chairs to sit down on.

"It's crazy to think that Mitch is gonna be a dad again soon. I mean the two of us are only young. He's 30, and I just turned 32. Even though we got pregnant at a weird time, I love it. That doesn't even make sense. Anyway, it's all just weird. We weren't planning this at all. We were planning on waiting until maybe in a few years." Becca rubbed her bump.

"Yeah it's kinda crazy for Haz and I as well. I mean we got married a year ago, almost two. Sometimes I think if we got pregnant a little too late, you know with the band getting into touring again. But I wouldn't change this for the world you know? Being pregnant is the best. Other than the terrible mood swings, morning sickness, and aches and pains." The two of us laughed.

"Yeah I know what you mean. I wouldn't change getting pregnant for the world. Getting a chance to be even pregnant is like a dream come true. It's something that I would never take for granted." We sat in silence for a bit as Duke was running around the backyard. "Do you know the gender of the baby yet? Or are you waiting till Harry is back to open the envelope up?"

"I may have opened up the envelope yesterday. So yeah I know the gender. What about you? You're almost 6 months now."

"Yeah I know. It's just that Luke and I made a deal that we would keep the genders a secret until they were born."
