Pages Of Our Lives // Harry Styles Fanfic

Chapter 26 • Second Thoughts

  I folded Harry's freshly washed clothes and put them in his suitcase.
"I want to talk to you about something tonight." I tell him.
"Why?"
"Because it's coming up." He probably thought I was talking about the baby.
"Ok." He accepted. What I really wanted to talk about was the band. Where is it going? How are we gonna get there? And can we sustain a family?

  I preferred hotel/airplane life over bus life any day of the week but today we had a meet and greet in Orlando so we got the bus. Steph and I had morning sickness so bad that the guys wanted us to stay back while they went to the meet and greet but we insisted to go and support them.

  As we set up the tables and everything we needed including merchandise and photo ops, Harry wrapped his arms around me from the back.
"Have I ever told you thank you for supporting us in this crazy life of ours? You and Steph have been more then enough help. I don't know where we would be without you guys."
"Awe." He kissed me.
"Mara, opinions?" We looked up to see Liam, Louis, and Niall wearing different kinds of wigs.
"Oh my god." I started to laugh. They posed for a picture.
"I'm ready." Liam jogs in place.
"Alright, let's go this." Harry rubbed his hands together and the fans came flooding in. I sat next to Steph under the merchandise tent while the boys, just next to us, took pictures. I was falling asleep. It must have looked very entertaining to watch me.
"Mara." Harry called. I looked up to see him motioning with his hand for me.
"What?" I asked as I walked over.
"Can I get a picture with you?" A little girl asked.
"I don't see why not." We took a few together. It made me wonder who my little girl is going it be.

Dad called as we were wrapping up. We were finishing our conversation.
"You gonna talk to him tonight?" Dad asked.
"I am."
"I like Harry but I like you more." I laughed with him.
"I'll make sure to talk to him about it tonight before he goes out."
"You're mother would be proud." Was all he said.
"I love you dad."
"I love you too." We said our goodbyes and he hung up. I held the phone to my chin.
"You ok?" Steph asked.
"I'm just worried."
"That they won't want to carry on?"
"I don't know what. But I'm scared."

We got to the hotel that night around 9 pm. We dispersed to our rooms.
"Bring a swimsuit?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, let me shove my belly in the one I brought." I joked.
"Ok." He said emotionless.
"No Harry-" he took my hand and pushed my out he door.
"What are you doing?"
"Walk with me." We walked around the hotel util he finally decided to stop.
"Ladies first." He held the pool door open.
"Oh no." I said.
"Go on." He began closing the curtains.
"You're joking."
"Not at all." He threw his shirt off.
"I'm a hotel pool?"
"Why not?" I smirked.
"Well I can't argue with that." I jumped in.
"Now you can tell Ellen you've been skinny dipping in a hotel pool." He laughed.
"What makes you think she'll find out?"
"She's pretty sly." He jumped in after me.
"Well Mara, I think we're gonna be bomb parents."
"The best." He spun me around.
"You wanna?..." He smirked.
"Not a chance." I smiled.
"Ok then. What did you want to talk about." That's when my smile disappeared.
"The band." I couldn't keep it in much longer and it just popped out.
"What about the band?"
"Is this a lifetime thing?" I was going to keep talking but he jumped in.
"To answer your question, no, I don't want to do this my whole life. It's exhausting as much as I love it. You're emotionally drained as so am I. If we're being honest I'd rather have my one hit wonders and move on with my life. I don't want to live in the spot light my whole life. I'll still write music but I don't want it to be on the top charts or iTunes countdown." That was just was I was looking to hear.
"Then what are you gone do?"
"What am I going to do?"
"Mm huh." I laid my head in his chest.
"Be a stay at home dad."
