Today was the day.

"You okay momma?" I whispered, as my left hand was being gripped by my mum's hand and my right was laced with Harry rested on his thigh. "Y-yeah.. It's just you're finishing school soon and aren't I too old to have another child" her breath shuddered slightly. "Mum you were an amazing mum to me and this kid will be lucky to have a mum like you, plus I'll be here every step of the way" I smiled gently at her. "Me too April! Well that's as long as your daughter keeps me" he winked at me and smiled warmly at my mum making her giggle, her nerves calming. "Forever baby" I grinned making my mum aw in the background.

We sat on the small chairs of the hospital waiting room. Pregnant women walking in and out of doctor's offices with huge smiles on their faces. I saw my mum's lips curve up slightly while having one hand on her stomach.

"Mrs Warburton?" A gentle voice called out.

"Come on mum" I cooed helping her up. "Harry and I will wait outsi-"

"No! I mean um can you both come in" she nervously smiled making me giggle as I felt Harry's arm around my waist. "Of course" Harry politely shrugged as we followed my mum into the doctors room.

"Hi April, I am Dr. Lin, you're here for a baby scan??" She asked and my mum nodded. "When did you take a test" she asked and I looked over at my mum who took a deep breath. "Yesterday, just wanted to make sure it's 100%" she explained making the doctor nod. "Who are these lovely 2" the Dr. Lin began a conversation, she glanced over at Harry's large hand on my thigh before grinning uncontrollably. "This is my daughter Emily, and her lovely boyfriend Harry" my mum smiled at us.

It didn't take long before the Dr had put a lubey substance on my mum's lower belly and had set up a small monitor for us all to see. "Okay, you will feel a slight pressure, nothing painful, but in a few seconds we should see this baby" the Doctor smiled before pressing the remote to my mum's belly to find the baby. It took a while before she stopped and smiled. Her pointer finger landing on the small screen making us all lean in.

"That's your baby"

My mum gasped and her smile began widening and widening as she stared at the screen. "It's so tiny" I giggled as Harry chuckled beside me. "well it maybe 3 weeks old, it's still a long time!" Dr. Lin informed making my mum giggle. The doctor handed my mum a small towel to wipe her stomach before she sat up. "Come back in another 3 weeks for a check up okay?" My mum nodded and walked out the door. Harry and I went to walk out until Dr. Lin coughed behind us. "Take care of her you two" she smiled kindly making me nod. "I always will" I answered truthfully before waving as I pulled Harry out of the room.

We signed out of the hospital before going to Harry's car. A smile still plastered across my mum's face as she got into the backseat. I climbed into the passenger seat at the same time Harry got into the drivers. Both of us smiling at my mum who stared at her stomach oblivious to our stares.

"So to your dad's?" Harry broke the silence making my mum's head perk up nervously. I nodded, looking at her through the side mirror to see her sending me a swift nod saying it was okay. Harry shifted gears before pulling out the hospital car park, driving to the place I used to call home.

I got out the car first, a shudder running down my spine, reminiscing the past in this house. I felt a large hand on the small of my back making me immediately relax. I leant into Harry's side and he leant his down down to kiss my lips gently. I pulled away and realised my mum had gotten out the car and was now stood beside me.

"Ready?"

"As I'll ever be"

We stepped up to the front door, Harry close behind us for protection. Light stumbling was heard behind the door as we rang the bell before it shot open; revealing my dad.

He must really want to impress us because he was wearing fancy clothing, his hair was freshly cut and he had cleaned the house quite miraculously if I say so myself. "Come in you.. Three?" My Dad muttered nervously as we all walked passed him. I gave him a quick side hug, hearing him sigh in relief before closing the door and following after us to the 2 sofas in the lounge.

"Hi April"

My dad broke the silence, earning a small smile from my mum which he kindly returned. They both chatted about the problems and how they would resolve them as my head stayed down, looking at Harry's hand in my lap as I played with his long fingers.

"Oh and Gary.. We, well more like I have some other news, which means you'll have to make a lot of big changes" my mum spoke quite sternly but with a soft expression. My dad's eyes brows rose in confusion as she took a shaky breath in. Mum looked towards Harry and I and we nodded telling her it'll be alright silently. "Well, um, I'm about 3 weeks pregnant" my mum's gaze held my dad's as his eyes widened, I was sure they were almost about to roll out of their sockets. "Y-you're pregnant" my mum nodded answering all his questions. A small smile began tugging at his lips before he sprinted over to my mum, engulfing her in a large hug. She gasped at the sudden contact, but I knew she loved him which is why she hugged back.

"I'm going to be a father.. To two children, wow" he breathed after he released my mum, pecking her forehead with his lips.

"Hey mum, Harry and I are going to go back to his place, are you coming?" I asked, standing up with Harry by my side. "I'll probably stay with your dad a little while longer, I'll see you later?" I nodded kissing her cheek and then my dad's before walking through the house to the front door. I heard Harry say short goodbyes before catching up with me.

I walked out the house into the fresh air and I felt Harry's presence behind me. "You okay?" He asked a bit concerned at my eagerness to move out the house. I spun around, smashing my lips onto his, his hands gripped my hips as mine slung around his neck pulling him closer.

We pulled away breathlessly and his eyes widened, a small smirk pulling on his heart shaped lips. "What was all that about" he asked chuckling lightly. "I needed to kiss you, but I couldn't Like that in that atmosphere plus I bet my mum and dad are making out right now" I giggled, pulling myself into his chest. "Well, let's go home, we can make out there" he grinned making me roll my eyes. "If you're lucky" I winked and I him let out a loud laugh. "I got lucky with you, so I must be very lucky"
