Leah's P.O.V

We later arrived back at Harry and I's house. I parked the car next to Harry's and got out to help Wyatt get unbuckled. 

We walked up to the front door and headed inside. We kicked off our shoes and walked inside the living room. 

I was expecting Harry to be sitting on the couch watching that football game, but I was wrong. He wasn't even alone. Sitting next to him was Kylie. 

"Um, what's going on here?" I asked them. 

"Nothing." Harry replied almost instantly. "I didn't think you would be home this early. Aren't these ultrasounds supposed to last an hour?"

"No, they're 15 minutes." I replied. "We used longer last time because a lot more needed to be checked then. You would know that if you had listened to what the doctor said." 

"I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something else, okay?" He said. 

"Doesn't matter." I replied. "Anyways, I'm gonna take a shower. Look after Wyatt for me." 

Harry gave me a nod and I ran upstairs to the bathroom. I stripped out of my clothes and got into the shower, letting the hot water run down my body. 

I spent nearly twenty minutes in the shower, thinking about this whole situation with Harry. Like how he had told me he had an important football game to watch, but instead he invites Kylie over. Why wouldn't she tell me something like this? I thought she was my best friend. 

When I got out of the shower, I wrapped a towel around my body and dried my hair. I pulled out a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie from the closet and got dressed in it. I then brushed my hair and applied my make up- mascara and a tiny bit lipgloss. 

Before leaving the bathroom, I checked my phone. I had a notification from Twitter saying Harry had mentioned me in a tweet. 

@Harry_Styles: How cool isn't @LeahAdams's little brother? Here we are taking selfies while Leah's upstairs taking a shower. Most attractive men alive aha x

Along with the tweet was a picture of them making silly faces at the camera. Wyatt was sitting on Harry's shoulders, holding tightly around his head so he wouldn't fall off. 

I smiled at the photo, but I had to remind myself that I was supposed to be mad at Harry. He lied to me about why he wasn't coming to the ultrasound. He would much rather have a little date with Kylie than see if his child is okay. Part of me wanted to tell him that chances were small that our baby would survive just to let him realize how much he could've missed out on, but I figured out that would be too mean. 

I sighed before walking out of the bathroom. I headed downstairs to see Wyatt sitting on Harry's shoulders, and they were both dancing to Harry's band's song, 'Live While We're Young'. Kylie was nowhere to be seen though, so I'm guessing she left.

Even though I was mad at Harry, that sight made me happy. He was being so sweet to my little brother, the boy who had to grow up without a mother. He's had one of the hardest childhoods I know, and just seeing how happy Harry can make him makes me smile. 

"Leah, look! He let me sit on his shoulders!" Wyatt shouted when he noticed me. 

"Yeah, I can see that." I replied and faked them a smile. "I'm just gonna get something to eat." I told them and walked into the kitchen. 

I grabbed an apple from a bowl on the kitchen counter and took a bite of it. I then poured myself a glass of orange juice and drank it. 

"Hey." I looked up to see Harry standing in the door frame. 

"Hi." I said back. "Where's Wyatt?" 

"Watching TV." He replied. "Um, can I see the ultrasound picture?" 

"It's in my bag." I said not making eye contact with him. 

"And where's your bag?" 

"On the table by the front door." I answered. 

"Okay, thanks." He gave me a kiss on the cheek and left the kitchen making me sigh. He was pretending everything was okay, and that bothered me. How can he not realize how much what he did hurt me? 

..... 

"Bye, dad. Bye, Wyatt." I said and smiled at them. 

"Bye, Leah." They replied and walked back to my dad's car. 

I closed the door behind me and headed back inside the house. Harry was laying on the couch scrolling down Twitter, so I headed straight past him and walked upstairs. I really wasn't in the mood for talking to him. 

I headed into mine and Harry's bedroom and sat down on the bed, pulling my laptop into my lap. I logged onto my Netflix account and began watching an episode of 'New Girl'. 

I didn't even get to finish the first episode before a knock on the door was heard. I sighed and said, "Come in." 

The door opened and Harry walked into the room. He gave me a small smile and sat down next to me on the bed putting his arm around my shoulders. 

"Are you mad at me?" He asked. 

"You tell me." I answered avoiding his gaze. 

"Hey.. I'm sorry I missed out on the ultrasound, alright?" He said. 

"You know what? That's not even the reason I'm mad anymore." I said pushing away his arm. "You lied to me, Harry. You said you were just gonna stay home and watch a football game, but then I come home and find you sitting on the couch with Kylie, my best friend. I just don't understand what happened between us. Just yesterday we were cuddling in our bed talking about how amazing everything is going to be when our baby is here. I just don't understand it..." At this point tears were rolling down my cheeks. 

"Nothing ever changed between us, baby." He said taking my hand. "I love you more than anyone in the whole world and I'm sorry if I made you upset. Just believe me when I tell you that there's nothing going on between me and Kylie. I really wanted to come to the ultrasound, I really did." 

"Then why didn't you?" I asked. "I'm sure you and Kylie could've had your little date another time." 

"It wasn't a date, Leah!" He said. "I don't love her. I love you."

"Then why was she here and what the hell did you two talk about?" I asked him. 

"I.. I can't tell you." He answered looking down in his lap. "I'm so sorry, but I just can't. It has to stay between me and her." 

"You know what I think is funny?" I said sarcastically and he raised an eyebrow. "The fact that if I wouldn't have come home right away after the appointment, then maybe I wouldn't ever have found out about this. I actually wish I didn't know, because everything would be much easier then." I told him. "Call me when you've made up your mind. I'll be at my dad's house." 

I got up from the bed and left the room, only taking my phone with me. I didn't even take a second glance at Harry before leaving the house, leaving him all alone.
