It Happened One Night *Completed*

21. April Fool's

(A/N - Second and final update for today.  Again, please feel free to check out my new story "My Mentor"  Let me know what you think!!  This chapter is a bit of cliffhanger...sorry, lovelies!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s been a month and a half since I came out.  Not everyone was so accepting.  Most of my friends began ignoring me.  The one who didn’t kind of joined our newly formed group that was comprised of me, Harry, Liam, Louis, Zayn, their girlfriends, Nick and his new boyfriend, Jackson; who is also on the football team and had the courage to come out after seeing that I did it.   It has been nice learning who you’re true friends are.

The one person who I assumed would have something to say was Josh.  But he has been ignoring Harry and me completely.  He certainly gives me the worst dirty looks and scowls at me all the time and I see him shaking his legs when he is sitting and balling his fists like he might want to do something, but he has left us alone.  

A week and a half ago at my last ultrasound, it was decided that I was to go on bed rest.  My blood pressure is getting higher and the swelling in my feet, legs and hands are becoming painful.  I certainly didn’t want to have to leave school, but I had no other option.  No one else found out about my pregnancy, but they were beginning to wonder if I had some sort of disease or something that cause all the swelling.

My father talked to all my teachers and said that I did have some medical issues that would keep me from attending my classes but to give my work to Harry and he would bring it to me to complete and then he would also return it.  That way I would still be able to graduate high school.

Our baby looked really good on the last ultrasound at 25 weeks, and she has been growing at a fairly decent rate.  My father estimates her at around 12 and a half inches long, only an inch or so smaller than a baby in a woman, and she weighs about a pound and a half.

The one problem that I am having is that the way she is growing is becoming an issue with my colon.  My uterus is pressing on it even more now and too much more growth will cause my uterus to press my colon closed making it nearly impossible for me to use the bathroom.  I haven’t had a problem with that yet, thank God.  But that is the reason for the pain I felt the last time Harry and I attempted to have sex.

I am a few days shy of 27 weeks.  It is the first of April and my next ultrasound is this Saturday, the fifth.  I am completely awake and just looking at Harry sleeping.  Our alarm is going to go off in about ten minutes.  He needs to get ready for school.  He hates going and leaving me at the house all day, but I tell him that he has to go and that I have my mum to keep me company, which I do.  She comes over every couple hours to check in on me.

I decide that since it is April first, otherwise known as April Fool’s Day, I would like to have a little fun.  I grab Harry’s arm really tight and start to act like I am in agonizing pain.  He sits right up.

“Oh my God, Niall!!  What is wrong” He exclaims.  I grab tight to my stomach and begin to roll around a bit on my back.

“I have no clue what it feels like, but I think I am in labor.  Owwww, Harry….it hurts….” I say, trying not to laugh.  He launches himself out of bed and starts running around like a crazy person.
