'Taste the rainbow (Harry Styles fan-fic)'

Chapter 18

Veronica's POV (the week of the baby's birth)

"Come on, up, up, up." Niall and Zayn gripped my hands, pulling me and my gigantic stomach up. Everyone knew about the baby except for Harry. Niall told me everything that was happening, Harry thought I had left and killed myself because he didn't accept our baby. He went into straight depression and was crying every time you saw him. On the interviews I watched with them on, whenever the host mentioned relationships, Harry had to be taken off camera for having a breakdown. It was the week the baby was due, so any day now.

I steadied myself on my feet and looked at the boys around me. Dr. Penelope watched from a distance smiling. "Any day Mrs. Petree." She said and walked out of the room to let the boys and I talk. "May I?" Louis asked. I nodded and let him walk forward, placing his hands on my stomach. A harsh kick came from the side as if the baby was telling him 'hands off'. Louis grinned and backed away. Niall and Zayn helped me sit back down, Niall slowly pulling a blanket over me. "You in any pain?" He asked kindly.

"No, I will be soon that's for sure." I joked. "How's Harry though?" Everything went silent. "He's....not doing that well." Liam spoke up. I nodded and picked at my fingers. "I think he should be here when the baby's born." The boys suddenly went all defensive and started talking all at once how that was a bad idea. "Quiet!" I snapped. "I want him here. Even if he didn't want this baby, it's still his and he has a right to know it's being born you guys!" They all huffed in agreement, Niall getting on the phone. "He should stay the week, since we don't know when the baby's coming." Niall pointed out. "Fine, he'll be staying then."

I got up on my own and shuffled over to my room on the large shack in the middle of crystal clear blue ocean. I flopped on my back onto the bed and looked out into the sea from the open walls around me. Yep, no walls, just curtains for privacy. It's kind of relaxing anyway. 'Knock knock' I looked up at Niall standing in the doorway. "Harry's on his way, as fast as he can apparently." I nodded and looked back outside. "I'm sorry for disagreeing with you." He soothed and sat down on the end of my bed. I sat up and hugged him tightly. "Niall you've done nothing wrong. Thank you for everything." He nodded and hugged me back awkwardly.

"Harry should be here in 4 hours if he's taking the jet....which he probably will." I grinned and leaned back to lay down. I poked a bit at my belly and smiled when a very soft kick came to my stomach. The baby only gave soft kicks to my touch...probably because I'm the mom but you never know. Niall stood up and waved me goodbye. I nodded as a response and pulled my shirt up to reveal the swollen belly. I giggled a bit at the sight. My phone started ringing from the side, I quickly snatched it up: Carter.

FUCK! I haven't told Carter or anyone about the baby! "H-hello?" I answered. "Yeah hey, I've been knocking on the door for like 20 minutes can someone answer?" I giggled a bit. "Carter we aren't home." He huffed. "Well then where are you?" I bit my lip. "Tahiti." "What the hell are you doing in Tahiti?" I gulped. "Having a baby..." I whispered. "What." Carter asked shortly. "Uh....I-I'm having a ba-baby?" The phone was disconnected then. Well this is fantastic. I pulled my shirt back down and struggled to get up.

"Woah, woah. Sit down, I want to ask a few questions and do some tests." Penelope said kindly. I sat back down on the bed. "Alright I'm just going to do a heartbeat test and ask questions, that's okay?" I nodded and smiled. She took out the stethoscope and placed it against my once again exposed stomach. She pulled away after a few moments and grinned. "Healthy as ever. Okay ready for some questions?" I chuckled, "Just as long as it isn't math." She laughed and shook her head. "No...Are you in any pain at the moment?" I shook my head no. "Has the baby been kicking a lot?" I thought about it.

"Not much, only when someone touches my belly." She nodded. "Okay last one, are your food cravings becoming out of line?" I chuckled at that one. "No, no they have not." She nodded and put away everything she brought into the room. "Okay, I think everything's good for now. Hang tight." I look to the side to the vast ocean beside me, when will Harry get here? I'm actually kind of looking forward to seeing him. I picked up my phone and checked everything that mattered to me. A harsh kick came to my side.
