Back (book 2)

10. Panic

Alexa's POV
I woke up Tuesday morning with a terrible headache and I quickly ran into the bathroom and threw up. It went on for the next hour and a half. When I was done I brushed my teeth and threw my unmanageable hair into a bun and looked at my outfit. I was in gray pajama shorts and Harry's Beatles shirt. I then went back into the room to call Harry. After three rings he answered.
"Hi baby sorry I was helping my mum with something." He said and I heard a door shut.
"Harry?" I asked trying to stay calm.
"What is it baby? Are you okay?" He said very concerned.
"I woke up with the worst headache and I've been throwing up for two hours. I don't know what's wrong.." I said scared.
"Baby, I'm so sorry, do you think you could be?" He asked and he didn't even have to finish the sentence before I froze. Could I be pregnant? I couldn't be! I wasn't finished with school I had my whole career ahead of me. I wasn't ready for this.
"I don't know.. I'll go get a test and I'll call you when I get back." I said.
"Okay baby." And with that I hung up and grabbed my phone, purse, and keys.

There was a long line at the convenient store and the longer I had to wait the more anxious I got. I finally payed for the tests and got into my car and raced back to the hotel.

I got up to the room and took the test then called Harry.
"Baby?" He answered right away.
"I just took it, it said it would take a few minutes." I said.

Harry and I were still on the phone with each other when it was time to check the tests. I had taken three to be sure.
"Okay ready?" I said.
"Yes, and baby whatever happens I will be there and I love you and we can get through anything." He said which made me feel a little less scared but barely.
I quickly looked over at the tests wishing Harry was physically with me.
"Harry.." I said and my breath hitched in my throat.
"What does it say?" He said.
"Harry... I'm pregnant.." I said and my back slid down the wall. He took a few deep breaths before speaking.
"It's okay baby we can get through this, I'm coming, I'll be there in a few hours." He quickly hung up and I was left there alone not knowing what to do. I quickly called my boss calling in sick for the next few days. Then I called my mom.
"Hey Lex, how are you? How's Paris?" She asked.
"Mom.." I said while I started to cry.
"What's wrong sweet heart?" She asked concerned.
"Mom, I'm pregnant." I started to sob.
"What?!" She said shocked.
"Mom, I'm pregnant. I'm so scared, Harry had to go to London for a few days but he's coming right now, this is the scariest thing that has ever happened to me. My job, school it's all down the drain." I sobbed.
"Shh baby girl, it's okay. Yes this will be hard but you can do it. Harry will be there he loves you so much and he would die for you. Don't worry please you know what to do you will be okay. When do you go home?" She said.
"Thursday. But I think Harry and I will fly home tomorrow morning instead." I cried.
"Ok I'll come Thursday ok?" She asked.
"Ok mommy, I love you." I said.
"I love you too. It will be okay, if you need anything call. I'll see you Thursday." And then I hung up.

After a few hours of sleeping and laying in bed reading and editing my articles and pictures. Then there was a knock at the door. I walked over and opened it and it was Harry. He set his bags down and wrapped his arms around me and I started to cry.
"Sh baby it's okay." He said as he rubbed circles on my back.
"Harry.." I cried into his shirt.

He brought his stuff into the other room then laid on the bed with me.
"I called in sick the next two days. Can we go home tomorrow?" I asked as he pulled me into his chest and I cuddled up next to him.
"Of course we can." He said and ran his fingers through my hair.
"My mom is coming Thursday." I mentioned.
"Okay good, you probably need her with you right now." He said.
"Harry what does this mean?" I asked him.
"I know this came sooner than we expected but we can do it. I love you and you love me and we can make it work. I know you have school and a job but I'm here. You're mom will help it will all work out. This happened for a reason." He said and it helped ease my nerves.
"Thank you Harry." I said and kissed his chest.
"Always baby." He said back and lifted my chin and kissed me.

We spent the rest of the day talking and cuddling in bed. I couldn't eat. I hadn't eaten anything all day. I felt so sick. This was the scariest time of my life and I didn't know what to do. One thing I do know is that I wouldn't want anyone but Harry by my side. I know with him we can do it. He's the only person who would've stayed with me when something like this happens.

I was scared but I was also excited. Maybe this was a good thing. The beginning of the rest of our lives. I had my baby brother and I was amazing at taking care of him and he was my pride and joy. Now my own baby. I was scared out of my mind but somehow I knew it would be okay, especially with Harry by my side.
