Going back to Kelly was such a great decision. I forgave her, we got engaged, now here I am on our wedding day just six months later. I'm currently getting dressed, just now finishing buttoning all the buttons on my shirt. I smoothen the fabric out then look at the mirror, smiling to myself.
I'm getting married today to, not only my best friend, but also the love of my life. I am one lucky man.
"Mate." I hear Louis call as I begin tying my tie. "You have a visitor." He moves to the side and let's Nicole scoot past him, entering the room.
"Nicole, hi." I greet her, giving her a light hug as Louis leaves the area. I'm so happy that she and I ended on good terms.
"You look so handsome." She remarks, sending me a weak smile.
"Thank you." I reply, shrugging on the jacket to complete the outfit. "Did you just come to say hello or is there something you have to tell me?"
She intakes a deep breath, casting her gaze downward. "I do have something to tell you. It's all in this note." She pulls a slip of paper out of her purse then hands it to me. I take it hesitantly, giving her a wary look, but unfold the paper and begin to read its content.
Dear Harry,
I honestly didn't expect to be writing this note. I thought you were going to stay with me and be done with Kelly. But, clearly, I was very wrong. She's a bitch but a very lucky one at that.
I love you. So much. More than I feel Kelly does or ever could. I'm sorry but she just seems way too arrogant and full of herself to love anyone wholeheartedly and passionately. I very much think that you're blinded by your love for her.
Anyway, the reason I'm writing this letter is to just let you know that I'm pregnant. I don't expect you to be involved. Heaven forbid you are, you're soon to be wife will throw a fit. But I'm not saying you can't be involved. I'm just claiming that you probably won't be because of the bitch you call Kelly. And, obviously I'm very fertile or I couldn't get pregnant so freaking easily. You'll probably say "I used protection" well that shit only works 97% of the time. Condoms break and I wasn't on birth control so there you go.
I'm sorry you had to find this out on your wedding day but better sooner than later, right?
Have a nice life, Harry. You know where to reach me if you want to/can be involved. I wish you all the happiness in the world.
-Nicole
I look up after I've finished reading to find Nicole is nowhere in sight. I'm quick to walk to the door and glance down the hallways but she's already gone.
"Fuck." I mutter under my breath, going back into my room and plopping down in the vacant seat. I run a hand over my face, trying to collect my running thoughts.
What the hell am I supposed to do? I have to be involved. The child is mine biologically, of course, so it's my responsibility to take care of it. But Kelly definitely isn't going to like this at all. I can't possibly tell her today but I know that I have to find Nicole so I can tell her that I want to be involved with the entire process.
"Mate, you look like you've seen a ghost." I hear Louis comment from beside me. I look up at him and he frowns immediately. "What is it?"
"Nicole is pregnant." I whisper, still in disbelief. "I don't know what to do."
"She just told you that she was pregnant and ran off?" He inquires, his eyebrows furrowing together.
"She wrote me a note and explained." I reply, pulling out the letter from my jacket pocket and showing it to him. "She's never been good with confrontation so I guess she thought that this would be the better solution. I was reading the letter and I guess she left in the midst of that. I don't know where she went."
"Shit, Harry." He mutters. "What're you gonna do?"
"I have to find her and tell her that I want to be involved but I also need to break the news to Kelly so I have no idea what to do first." I explain, sighing in frustration.
"Maybe text Nicole and tell her that you want to be involved?" He suggests. "You've still got a little time before you absolutely have to go out there." He digs in his pocket and pulls out my phone, since I gave it to him for safe keeping, then hands it to me. I take it and, instead of texting, call Nicole to tell her the news.
"Uh, hi?" She answers after the call has almost ended.
"I just want to let you know that I want to be involved with our baby, Nicole." I inform her. "I want to be involved with everything so you're gonna have to let me know stuff."
"That sounds great and all, Harry, but what about Kelly?" She inquires, seeming a bit nervous.
"Let me deal with Kelly. You just worry about that baby, okay?" I tell her.
She lets out a soft sigh. "Okay. Uh, the next ultrasound is next month. I'll text you the actual date and the doctor's office so you can meet me there."
"Alright, Nic." I reply. "Are you excited?"
"I'm more nervous than excited." She mumbles. "I feel like I'm gonna be a lot more stressed out with this pregnancy than I was with Nat."
"Don't stress over anything too much, love." I tell her. "I'll talk to you later, okay? Let me know if you need anything."
"Okey dokey, Harry. Bye." I hang up the phone then toss it back to Louis.
"When are you gonna tell Kelly?" Louis asks as he stuffs the phone back into his pocket.
"Uh, after the wedding?" I suggest, really not knowing when the best time is for her to know.
"Don't you think she deserves to know before she officially settles down with you?" He asks. "I mean, she may be mean from ninety percent of the time but she does deserve to know that the man she's going to marry is going to have a kid with another girl."
"Yeah, you're right." I sigh, nodding. "But she'll flip her shit if I go to see her. Will you go? Just give her the note." I pull it out of my pocket and hand it to him. "Please, mate?"
He sighs. "Alright." He takes the note and holds it firmly in his hand. "If I don't come back, start planning my funeral." He walks out of the room after that comment. After just a few minutes, he's back.
"Well?"
"I just gave it to her and left. I didn't want to be there when she explodes." He explains. "She's probably read it by-" He's interrupted by Kelly storming into the room.
"What the hell is this?!" She screams, waving the note in the air then throwing it on the ground. "That bitch will lie about anything to ruin me, won't she?!"
"Whoa, Kelly." I stop her. "Nicole wouldn't lie about something like this."
"Oh, so you believe her?" She asks.
"Of course I do, Kelly." I reply. "You don't want to support me on this?"
"No." She refuses, shaking her head. "As far as I'm concerned, you can deal with this on your own. I don't want anything to do with that slut."
"Yeah, you're one to talk about someone being a slut." Louis mumbles, causing her to gasp loudly.
"Well postpone the wedding until further notice." She tells me. "Maybe you'll get your head on straight by the time I can reschedule everything and not be associated with Nicole." Before I can reply, she stomps back out of the room and slams the door behind her.
Well, fuck.
