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

Another small chapter, but I'm trying to update regularly, and this one has a bit of Larry bromance! :D

Harry's P.O.V.

I wake up startled from a nightmare. I don't remember what it was about, but it was a mix of everything that is going on in my head. As I wake up someone grabs my arm:

"Hey! Harry! Calm down mate! Everything is fine, I'm here." Louis says. He is sitting in a chair by the side of the bed. Me and him are the only people in the room.

"Louis! Hey..." I'm glad he is here.

"So... I've heard the news... I'm really sorry about this Hazza... I know you guys really wanted this baby..."

"Yeah... We did... Hey, is Mariana awake yet? How long have I been asleep for?" I say sitting up on the bed.

"She is still out mate. When she wakes up and the doctor checks her up he'll tell us. I got here about an hour and half ago and Niall told me you were asleep for 15 minutes already, so I guess you've slept for an hour and 45 minutes give or take."

"Hmm okay. I wish I could be in the room with her, but they will only let me in when she wakes up..." I sit straight.

"Yeah... It sucks. I bet it won't be long now though."

"Yeah, I hope. What time is it?"

"It's a little past 3am."

"Wow. And you are here man..."

"Yeah, of course! When I got here Liam told me that Lou had gone home a bit after you fell asleep because tomorrow morning she has an appointment with Lux. Niall, Sam and Liam stayed for a bit after I arrived and then we reach the conclusion that we didn't need all of us to be here so I'm staying for the rest of the night since they have been here till now. I'm sorry I didn't come right away with them."

"C'mon Lou. It's fine. And how's Freddie?"

"He's good. I had to wait for everyone to leave the arena so I could leave as well. Then I took him and Danielle home. Grabbed a bite and came here. It took me more time than I expected at home because Freddie wouldn't fall asleep... So active, just asking questions... I guess he was hyped from the show or something. He loved it though."

"Even just half of it?"

"Yeah sure! I think he didn't even notice it didn't go till the end!"

"Hmm" I smile. It's now dead silent. I guess it became awkward when he noticed he was talking about his son to the friend who just lost his. We both look down to the ground and after a while he says in a low voice, almost whispering:

"Life is so unfair man..."

"Yep! It sure is..." I answer after a while. "I mean..."  I look up at him. "Freddie..." He looks at me with a emotionless face. "Don't get me wrong man, I know you love him and now you wouldn't trade him for a thing, but the truth is that when Briana got pregnant you didn't want the baby and you wished it never happened... And... " I can't finish.  I look down again. My eyes are starting to water. I just said what was on my mind. I hope he doesn't hate me. But it's true. And it's unfair. And it hurts.

"And you and Mariana actually wanted this baby and were over the moon about it and this happens..." I start crying still looking down. "I know H... I know..." He says resting his hand on my back. I sob and look up at him. "I've thought about it myself. It's true... Life is fucked up." He says hugging me. I've missed these hugs from one of my best friends.
