HS: "Am I still going to be a father?" (2018)

5

Harry's P.O.V.

I get inside and Niall takes me to a cozy room in the surgical wing with an empty hospital bed and a few couches.

Sam, Sarah and Ryan have now joined Lou and Liam in the room. They were on their phones. When I get inside they look at me with a worried look on their faces.

Niall unfolds the blanket that was on the bed and gives it to me. I wrap myself around it and sit on the couch next to Lou. She leans her head on my shoulder and hugs me tight. Once again she knows exactly what to do to make me feel better without saying a single word.

"It really is amazing how quickly our fans find things out" Liam says breaking the awkward silence "The hashtag #FeelBetterHarry is trending worldwide! They don't even know what is happening. Apparently after the concert got cancelled, the fans there realized something was off with you, because you left the stage early and they just started trending this... Along with the news of the concert being cancelled half way through, this is going viral. That's probably why everybody is outside."

I nod. Wow! That was fast even for them...

"When your family sees the trend they are probably going to call you, Harry." Lou whispers to me loud enough for everybody to hear. I close my eyes and sigh, then look at Lou, who gets exactly what I want:

"I can talk to them if you want" she says. I hand her my phone, lean my head back and just close my eyes for a while.

I can't stop thinking about Mariana. Why is it taking so long?... I get up, walk around the room and feel everyone's eyes following me as I walk. I leave the room and walk around on the hallway. It's almost empty except for the nurse's station halfway through. Our room is at the end of the hallway. I go to the nurse's station and ask her if they have any news.

"I'm sorry Mr. Styles she is still in surgery. We still don't have any news."

"Okay thank you. Is there any prediction on how long it is going to take?"

"No sir. It depends on what they find. Because it is an emergency surgery there is no prediction on how long it is going to take."

"Thanks" I say.

While leaning in the nurse's station to talk to the nurse I notice a Google page open in the computer with "Harry Styles" on the search engine and photos of me. Of course... At least she didn't mention it or acted different.

As I walk back to the room, Sarah and Ryan are leaving.

"Hey mate! Look, we have got to go... Sam is going to keep us in the loop. Sorry H. But don't worry, okay? I'm sure both Mariana and the baby are going to be fine!"

"Thanks Ryan! Bye Sarah!" I'm glad they are leaving though. They are really good friends of mine and I know they only mean well, but right now the less people I'm with the better.

Everyone is really supportive of me. They were all so happy when I told them I was going to be a father and they genuinely like Mariana. But then again, what's not to like?

I walk in to the room and Sam is on the phone with someone updating them on the situation. Probably someone from the crew. Liam tells me that Louis is sending his best whishes and all the love, and that he will meet us here in an hour or so. Lou is texting on my phone. Probably updating a family member or friend of mine. I just don't feel like talking to anyone. Fortunately, not a lot of people are calling. Probably because it's late.

It's now around 11:30pm. We went onstage at 9pm and Sam went to communicate the show's interruption at around 10pm. By the time Mariana got into surgery it was 10:20pm or so and she has been there for almost an hour now.

After almost two more hours of waiting, in which I had done nothing but stare at the walls and talked briefly to my mother, a doctor comes inside the room. I immediately get up and walk up to him, and so does Niall, Lou, Liam and Sam.
