56. I think it's time

HARRY

When Harry woke up the following morning, the first thing that crossed his mind was telling Louis about his encounter with Ethan, he needed to get it out of his chest.

But Louis wasn't sleeping next to him like he expected.

He looked in the direction of the bathroom, and the door was closed, so he assumed Louis was in there, which meant he had to wait a bit to talk to him.

In the meantime, he decided to check his phone, in case anything had happened to his sister; if she was still pregnant, it meant she was officially overdue.

To Gems: any news about my little nephew??

There was no immediate answer, so he just left the phone on his nightstand, and waited for Louis to come back.

But after 10 minutes, Louis hadn't come out, so Harry began to worry, and decided to check on him.

"Lou?" Harry called, and knocked the door with his knuckles.

There was no answer, so Harry pressed his ear to the door, but there were no noises coming out from it, so he decided to just open the door to check on his boyfriend.

"Sweetheart..." Harry started, but that's when he discovered the stupid bathroom was empty.

Where was he then?

He searched the flat, until finally he found him kneeling down in the middle of the living room, looking down onto his bump, his hands on either side of it.

"Babe, what are you doing?" Harry frowned.

"Shh" Louis shushed him without looking up.

Harry walked up to him, and kneeled down on the floor, and waited until finally Louis looked up, as he let go of a puff of air.

"What's going on?" wondered Harry.

"Remember I was having Braxton Hicks contractions last night when we went to bed?" Louis asked.

"Yeah, are you still getting them?" Harry questioned.

"Yes, but I think they were never Braxton Hicks, because I can't make them go away" Louis explained.

"What does that mean?".

"I think I'm having real contractions, which means I'm in labor" Louis half smiled.

Harry's heart stopped for a quarter of a second, and then he panicked.

"No, no, no!" Harry shook his head fast "It's not your due date yet!".

"Hey, relax" Louis said calmly, and took his hand in his "Babies come early all the time, and I'm 38 and a half weeks along, which means it's safe for Ruby to come out".

"I know, you're right, I'm sorry for that, I was just... I'm sorry" Harry apologized, and he made himself calm down "But we should go to the hospital; I'll get the bags, and you-".

"We're not going to the hospital yet" Louis interrupted him.

"Yes, we are, you just said you're in labor" Harry said and he tried to get Louis to get up, but he wouldn't "Louis, come on".
