Letters to Andee

Chapter 19

CHAPTER 19

HARRY'S POV

It's been about a week since the bloody nose incident and we're still laughing about it. We've spent a lot of time together but a lot of time apart as well. Andee still has to work, especially because she'll be on maternity leave at some point soon, and I have people I can visit. There are still two girls I need to see though.

After two whole days of begging and pouting Andee finally agreed to go to Holmes Chapel with me for a few days so we could tell my mum about Baby. I'm nervous about my mother's reaction but I definitely don't tell Andee that. She's already freaked out enough about the mere idea of telling her.

That's why as we're driving towards my hometown my girl is twitching in the seat next to me, legs bouncing randomly, fingers drumming the center console until I grab her hand in mine. I glance over at her and she's looking down at her lap.

"You nervous babe?" I ask.

"Yeah, I'm pretty nervous..." she sighs and bites her lip.

"No need." I smile at her and raise her hand to my lips. She glances over at me, biting her lip slightly to hide her smile and I'm left breathless. The sun is shining behind her and her hair is thick and long and naturally curly, I can't help but stare.

"What?" she shifts uncomfortably and raises a hand to her face before flipping down the visor to look at herself.

"You're just so beautiful." I smile at her and she blushes and looks down at her lap. I notice the bump there and it makes me smile yet again, she's really starting to show and that scares me as well because that means we'll have to tell the world soon and I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet. But I have to be.

She shifts again and pulls her shirt away from her stomach, holding her hand on it a little longer than usual.

"Did the baby kick?!" I ask excitedly. I've been waiting so long to feel Baby's little movements. I know that Andee is pregnant and I can see her stomach but something about finally feeling he or she kick... I know that will make this seem so much more real.

"No..." she chuckles slightly and shakes her head, I've been asking her this question for the past week. "What's gotten into you? Baby will kick when she's ready." She looks out the window with a small smile. Every time she calls Baby a she I get more and more excited to find out if her prediction is right, that appointment is coming up as well.

"I've just been researching stuff and I heard that they usually start kicking around fifteen or sixteen weeks." I smile, not able to contain my excitement.

"I'll let you know when that happens, right now she's just making me tired." She yawns.

"You don't look very tired, your skin and hair look more beautiful than ever." I smile, I truly mean it.

"Oh hush..." she waves a hand through the air.

"No, Andee, I'm not lying, you're glowing." I smile at her and she blushes yet again, biting her lip. "Pregnancy really suits you." I bring her hand up to my lips again. I really need to focus better while I'm driving.

"Thanks Harry..." she smiles and squeezes my hand. I know how much effort this takes for her and it makes my love grow for her even more, which I didn't think was possible.

"Why are you so nervous?" I finally ask.

"I don't want her to be upset with us... I know how much she means to you and I'm scared for her reaction. We're so young and we aren't married and my hormones are ridiculous." She laughs a little at herself.
