Because Of You (Sequel to Love & Lies)

Chapter 22: This Is It.

Janine's POV

It was today.

Today was the day I got to see my baby.

And only to make it better, Harry was coming with me. Not to mention today was our date as well.

I had just finished showering, pulling on a pair of maternity black skinny jeans and an orange top large enough to hide my growing bump.

Even though Harry pretty much confirmed my pregnancy to the world two days ago, we both agreed that we'd try our best not to be in the limelight.

I threw on a black leather jacket over it. It was still December after all.

I decided not to do anything fancy with my hair so I simply straightened it and pushed a random pair of black sunglasses into it.

I grabbed my black purse and went downstairs to wait for Harry.

The boys have been lazy for the past two days and decided to stay inside with the curtains closed and play FIFA and watch movies.

I walk downstairs only to find them watching Lion King as per Liam's request of course.

"Don't you look nice!" El said, who was cuddled up near Louis.

"Thanks. I tried not to spend anytime doing too much. I've been too agitated lately." I say, slightly annoyed with the pros and cons of pregnancy.

"Well, if it makes you feel any better," Zayn began to say. "You don't look pregnant."

"It was kind of what I was going for." I say, squeezing into the small space near Niall.

"Yeah. If you weren't pregnant or going out with Harry, I would've--"

"Watch it Horan." Harry said, coming into view. He was dressed in tight black pants and a black shirt with his jacket already on.

"Hey, I was just saying." Niall said, pecking me on the cheek.

Everyone laughed making me blush. Niall had a crush on me too. How lovely.

"Hey, I don't blame Niall either." Zayn said. "When I first met Jenny I thought she was quite fit."

"Omg! I'm so lucky 3/5 of the world's hottest boyband was crushing on me!" I said in my best American fangirl accent.

That made everyone laugh harder.

"Well are you ready to leave Jenny?" Harry asked. "We're gonna get late if we don't leave on time."

"Yeah. I know." I say, getting up.

"Holy crap Jenny! Are you even pregnant?" Harry asked me, shocked with my appearance.

"Yeah I am...I'm reasonable enough to be able to disguise my belly." I say with a laugh.

"You look amazing. Let's go, yeah?" Harry asked.

"Yeah let's go." I say, walking over to the front door to slide into my boots.

"Have fun. Don't be out too late. We want to hear the news." Liam said with a smile.

"Thanks guys. Don't break anything." Haz said opening up the door for me.

I smile. "Thanks Haz."

"No problem. Let's hurry. I really can't wait." Harry said, excitement sparking in his eyes.

I laugh as Harry and I get into the car.

Harry's POV

Fuck me.

We've been in this waiting room for almost an hour.

I twitch a bit in my seat, getting impatient.

"Harry, relax. You're really annoying." Jenny said as she scrolled through her phone on Twitter.

"I'm annoying? You're annoying." I say.

Wow way to go. What a comeback Harry.

"That's not my fault. I'm pregnant." She replied with a smirk.

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever."

Just then, another expecting couple walked out, a nurse behind them.

"Shoter?" She called.

I instantly got up. "Jenny let's go that's us."

"Okay, can you help me up?" She asked.

I helped to pull her up and entered the back office, waiting for her to follow behind me.

The nurse smiled at us. "Room 5 at the end of the corridor."

I walked ahead and opened up the door to the room and stood aside for Jenny to enter.

"The doctor will be with you in a few. Just take off your shoes and I guess your husband can help you on top the examination table." The nurse said with a smile before walking out.

I turn and wiggle my eyebrows at Jenny who was blushing furiously.

"So wife, let me help you onto the table." I say grinning.

She giggled. "Harry, you're a loser."

I smiled before helping her on the table.

"Thank you. Don't get antsy, the doctor usually comes quickly." Jenny said.

"Okay. Sorry, I'm just really excited." I say, trying to restrain my antsyness.

There was a knock at the door. A young woman doctor, maybe in her mid 20s came in. She had a chestnut brown hair like Jenny's and similar looking hazel eyes.

"Hey Jenny!. It's nice to see you." She said, greeting Jenny with a hug. Funny enough she happened to have a British accent.

"Same here Lucy." Jenny said hugging her back. "Oh, this is my boyfriend Harry and Haz, this is my cousin Lucy. She also happens to be my gynecologist." She said introducing us.

I shook hands with her. "It's nice to meet you Lucy."

"Same here. It's finally nice to meet the Harry Styles that knocked up my little cousin and got her pregnant." She said with a smirk.

I feel the heat rising in my cheeks. "Sorry?"

Lucy laughed. "It's fine Harry. Just a joke. I'm actually a big fan."

I grin. "That's awesome. And thanks. You're the first Shoter I've met."

"Well hopefully," She begins, glaring at Jenny, "you'll meet them soon."

"What? At least I told them." Jenny said defending herself.

Lucy rolled her eyes.

"C'mon lay back. Pull up your shirt, hands to your side." She said, setting up the ultrasound machine.

I watched as Jenny pulled up her shirt to reveal her belly.

It was different since this was probably the first time I've seen her body while she was pregnant.

"This is the first time you've seen me like this, right?" Jenny asked, holding my hand.

I squeezed her hand a bit. "Yes and you're even more beautiful than before."

She smiled.

"Okay Jenny, brace yourself." Lucy said, putting the gel on some kind of scanner thingy that you only see in the movies.

Jenny closed her eyes as Lucy put it on her stomach.

"Fuck. That shit is cold." Jenny said, making me laugh.

"Sorry. So how have you been? Anything unusual?" Lucy asked, gliding the scanner over Jenny's belly.

"Fine really. No more nausea but he's starting to move more often." Jenny replied, looking at the screen.

Lucy nodded. "Harry, what about you? How have you been?"

"Me?" I ask, confused. "I've been fine. Nothing out of the ordinary."

"Okay good. The reason I asked is because sometimes the father gains weight along with the mother during the pregnancy and sometimes even experiences nausea and cravings." Lucy said.

I thought about that. "That makes sense. So where's the baby?" I look at the monitor.

"I'm looking for the little blip. When I find it, then I'll zoom in." Lucy said, scanning the screen. "Okay there we go."

I feel my stomach drop with excitement. Jenny inhales deeply, squeezing my hand tightly. I squeeze hand reassuringly.

Lucy presses a button on the monitor bringing the little blip up close, sure enough it was a baby.

She turned the knob on the screen and a thumping sound could be heard.

"That's the heartbeat." Jenny said, explaining to me. I nod, amazed.

That's my baby.

"Everything looks good. He's growing pretty healthy. Now it's time to look for the gender." Lucy said smiling.

She glides the scanner around a bit more.

"Oh wow!" Lucy said with a grin.

I could feel my heartbeat in my throat.

"Congratulations you guys, you're having a--"
