CHAPTER 12

HARRY STYLES

"Can you blow up these balloons?" I asked Niall who was eyeing the snack table. He looked over at me and smiled, walking over and grabbing the bag of blue balloons from me. It was a sunny day so my plans for the baby shower moved to outside. I smiled as I hung a 'mama to be' sash over a chair for Carli. 

"Mr. Styles are these what you wanted?" Tania said as she showed me a treat that was shaped as a pacifier. I hated the way people talked to me like I was high and mighty. Yeah, sometimes it felt good. I knew that I did have a lot of power, but right now I wanted to be normal. A normal man throwing a baby shower for his girlfriend. 

"Yeah, perfect." I nodded as I watched Niall blow up the balloons, his face getting ready from the pressure. He coughed, making me chuckle. 

"Can we go talk to Carli now?" Tania said as she sat down the tray. I looked over at her and remember what she asked me earlier this morning. Somehow she got kicked out of her flat, so she was thinking of staying with Carli and I for a couple of days. I don't know how I feel about it, since my son is going to be here soon. I wanted it just to be the three of us, so I'm going to let Carli answer that. 

"Yeah. She's upstairs, let's go." I shifted my fedora and took off my sunglasses as Tania and I made our way up to my room. Swiftly knocking on the door, I could hear shuffling from the other side. "Carli? Are you dressed babe?"

"Uh- Yeah." I heard her mumble. I sent Tania a warm smile and opened the door, seeing Carli sitting at her make up desk. She turned and saw the two of us, her eyebrows furrowing with confusion. "Hey guys."

"Hi Carli. How are you feeling?" Tania asked, sitting on the edge of our neatly made bed. Carli still looked confused as she told her she was fine. 

"Baby, Tania has a question for you. I'm going to leave you two to it, I need to check to see if the cake is here... Stupid people made it." I mumbled as I walked out of the room.

CARLI

I turned to Tania, waiting for her to say something. It was weird how her and Harry just walked right in while I was getting ready for the baby shower. I looked back in the mirror and finished with my make up. "What do you need to ask me?" I said, growing impatient. 

"Oh, right." Tania giggled nervously. "I- I got kicked out of my flat. There was a new manager and I wasn't paying my bill since Karl pays it. The manager doesn't think that's right so he kicked me out."

"I'm sorry." I replied, not knowing why she was telling me this.

"It's okay. I asked Harry if I could stay at your house and he said to ask you? I'll stay while I look for another apartment." Tania hesitated. I looked over at her and studied her features. She was so small, so scared. It wasn't fair that she didn't have a good life, she truly deserved it. 

"We have a pool house you can stay in for a couple of days while you look. Harry and I are leaving in a for a reunion so you'll be alone for that time. The pool house has a a room, kitchen and bathroom. It's already stocked up just without food, but that's something you can do?"

"Of course!"

"Okay. Well.. I can't exactly help you move your things in but I'm sure Karl and Harry will help you." I sent her a smile, which she returned. 

"Thank you."

"No problem, but I do want you gone before our son is born. You understand, right?" I asked kindly.
