**YOUR POV**
Not at all like Harry, I couldn't sleep at all. This painful backache just wouldn't stop and leave me alone. Eventually, with a lot of effort, I got up and out of bed, making my way downstairs and to the living room. I sat down on the couch, turning on the tv and tried to find any position comfortable to sit in, but after many attempts, I gave up and stood back up, walking around the house, back and forth the living room and kitchen with my hands placed on my lower back. It was more like waddling than walking anyways.

Only four weeks until the due date and it was getting more uncomfortable every day.

The hours kept going and going and there was no sign of it getting better or me going to sleep any time soon.

„Dammit." I breathed when I looked at the clock and saw it was 2 am. Tears were starting to brimm in my eyes, because I felt so helpless, standing there, leaning against the kitchen counter and move my hips from left to right to try and make the pain go away.

„Y/n? Hey, are you okay?" I heard Harry's voice behind me and felt his warm hand on my back.

I shook my head no. „This damn backache won't go away." I breathed, turning around to face him when a tear escaped my eye and ran down my cheeks.

„Sweetheart, I'm sorry. Why didn't you wake me up though? Have you been here all this time?" He rubbed my arm soothingly and I nodded.

„Didn't wanna bother you." I sighed. „Just want this to stop." I sniffled.

„Hey, hey, hey, baby...it's gonna be okay." He cupped my cheek and wiped my tears away. „Let me try something." He then said. „Turn back around, so your back is facing me."

I did what he said and turned around when I felt him stepping closer to me so that I stood with my back against his chest. He then placed both his hands just underneath my baby bump from behind and rested his chin on top of my shoulder.

„Ready?" He asked.

„Ready for what?" I frowned when he gently lifted all the weight of my bump up, relieving my back and literally anything else that was hurting.

„Oh my god I love you." I breathed out of relief, leaning even more against Harry. „Please don't ever let go." I pleaded.

I could feel him smile against me. „We might stay here until the birth then."

I smiled back. „Wouldn't complain."

We stayed like that for a little while until he gently let go and I felt like carrying around a rock in my stomach again.

„Come on, sit down on the couch." Harry guided me back to the living room.

„Believe me I've tried to sit and lay in every single position possible, but it's not getting better." I whined, sitting down beside him.

„I'll massage your back a little, maybe it'll help." He said. „It always helped when you did it to me."

„Okay, go on." I sighed. „I'm just so fucking tired."

„I know, baby. I'm sorry you're in pain." He placed a soft kiss on top of my shoulder as he started to massage my lower back.

„You know, I love being pregnant and growing our baby, knowing she's safe and all. Especially after trying for so long, but I'm glad for when it's over and just can't wait for her to be here with us." I told him. „It may be selfish to say this, but this pregnancy has been really hard on me at times."

„It's not selfish at all, Y/n. Every woman experiences pregnancy differently. Some have it easier and some harder. I hate that you haven't had the easiest pregnancy and that you couldn't really fully enjoy it. Your feelings are valid. You're growing a new life, one that we've wished for for so long. Your body is doing something so incredible and I'm so proud of you for handling it all the way you did. I will forever be grateful for that. I love you so much."
