I woke up when my alarm went off at 10 am. My flight home was at 12 so I plenty of time. Yesterday was my mum's birthday and we had a small party at the house, just family and friends. It was great to get to see everyone before I left and I know that I definitely won't leave it long to come over again. I think I might come back in about two or three months, before I enter my last trimester and Mum says they'll come over for the birth. I got out of bed and rubbed my eyes, I didn't get to bed until three this morning and I knew I'd regret it. I had a quick shower and then changed into a pair of hollister sweat pants and an oversized jumper incase there was paparazzi when I landed in London. I didn't want news about the pregnancy getting out so early, especially after being in the media recently about the break - up. I put my damp hair into a high pony and padded softly down the stairs. I was full sure everyone else was asleep seeing as we had such a late night, but my sister was sitting at the table eating scrambled eggs when I walked in. We'll she is only 14, they made her go to bed earlier.
" Hey, what are you doing up? Aren't teenagers supposed to stay in bed all day?" I teased her.
She rolled her eyes, " I'm not tired, typical since it's the one day I can sleep in." She replied. I laughed in response.
" Any eggs left?" I enquired, crossing my fingers and toes that she says yes.
She nodded and pointed to the pot on the hob. I sighed in bliss. I skipped lightly over to the toaster and put some bread in while I waited for the eggs to heat up.
" So, what's got you looking like a hobo today?" Kaci asked. I turned around.
" Gosh, rude much? I'm going back today remember? I just need to cover up incase there is paps around when I get to London." I explained.
She slowly nodded her head. " I totally get it if you don't want to talk about it, but what happened between you and Harry?" She asked timidly. As I opened my mouth to answer, the toaster popped behind me. I held up a finger to her, signalling her to wait. I buttered my toast and put some eggs on top. Then I sat down beside Kaci and told her what happened.
" What a dick. Sorry but it's true" She said when I looked at her wide eyed. Teenagers and their language, even though I was probably worse. ' Lies' I told myself.' You know you were much worse.'
I laughed and nodded, "I know." I glanced at the clock on the wall, it was 11:05.
" I better get going, sis. Give my love to mum and dad. Oh and our idiotic brother." I said.
She stood up and gave me a hug," I will. And take care of your self and my niece and nephew, or nephews or nieces. I love you, Beth."
" Aww, I will and I love you too. Be good and I'll see you in a few months." I turned around and picked up my two bags from beside the front door. I had a rental car so I didn't need to worry about finding a way to get my parents car back to them. I pulled out of the driveway and turned up the radio. Then I drove to the airport. I arrived and checked in rather quickly. When my flight was called for boarding, I shot my mum a quick text.
'Hi, I know you're probably sleeping but wanted to let you that I'm boarding now and I'll call you later. Thanks for the past week. Xxx'
I sent Dawn a similar text.
' Hi, boarding now. See you at 1:30 x'
I handed my passport and boarding pass to the attendant and when she handed them back, I stepped onto the plane. As the captain spoke and we took off, I plugged in my earphones and looked out the window, my hand resting on my bump. ' Tomorrow's gonna be fun.' I thought. Dawn called yesterday to say that Harry was okay with coming over and that he would be there at 12. I was so nervous. I still hated him, I don't think it's possible to hate someone as much as I hate him but even though it kills me to admit it, I still love him and I knew that a part of me always would,no matter what happened.
I woke up to a tapping on my shoulder, I bolted upright, yanking the ear plugs from my ears. I saw a friendly face smiling at me.
" I hate to disturb you miss, but we just landed." The man I was sitting next to informed me.
" Oh, thank you so much. I probably would have slept through the next flight and ended up God knows where." I laughed, embarrassed.
" It's alright. I'd do the same." He smiled. I thanked him again and followed as he left the aeroplane. The cool London air hit me and I instantly felt refreshed. I love Ireland buy I've always preferred London. I made my way through arrivals and it didn't take long for my to find Dawn. She ran over and hugged me. " Oh my gosh, I've missed you so so so much. And you were right, you're massive!" She squeled as she pulled back and placced her hands on my bump, which I quick swatted away. She gave me a confused look.
" Not in public." I whispered. She nodded and grabbed my other bag, which was conveniently the lightest one and led my out to her red Beetle. I honestly don't think Dawn could have found a better car to suit her. It practically had her name written all over it. We talked as we drove home about the party, my dinner with Robyn who had promised to visit when the babies were born and everything else that wee could talk about. Apart from the 'H' subject, which we both avoided. We got home and I saw a familiar black car in the drive way, Louis and Eleanor were here.
" I'll bring in your bags and you can go in and say hello." Dawn generously offered. I smiled in thanks and hopped out of the car. I jogged up the steps and burst into the flat. " I'm baaccckkk!" I sang and was quickly greeted by a running and excited Eleanor.
" It's about damn time too!" She said as she hugged me. " Oh me gosh, you're so big! Has it really only been just over a week?" She gasped. I laughed and nodded, both her and Dawn were like over excited puppies all of the time.
" Lou, come here! Look at how big she is." She called as I took of my jumper. Louis head popped around the corner and his eyes widened in disbelief. I was wearing a tight tank top and my bump was very accentuated in it. I smiled at him.
" Whoa. Was not expecting that." He says as he sauntered into the room in the sassy little way of his.
I rolled my eyes, "Tell me about it, I woke up on Thursday and I was shocked. It grew like two or three times the size over night. I frightened my whole family when I came downstairs." I told him. We were all laughing when I realised Dawn still hadn't come in. I walked over to the window and was more than a bit surprised by what I saw. A dishevelled looking Harry was standing beside Dawn and her car. "Oh God." I groaned as I turned around.
" What?" They simultaneously asked.
" Harry's here." I pulled back on my jumper since it was rather cold in the house. They both looked at each other and then back at me as I left the room.
" Wait, where are you going?" El called after me.
" The sooner the better right?" I nervously chuckled back. I took a deep breath as I braced myself. I opened the door.
" Dawn!" I called. His head snapped up and those emerald green eyes locked my eyes. I struggled to tear my gaze away. " It's alright. He- He can come in." They looked at me but Harry wasted no time in walking up the steps. I retreated quickly back into the flat.
" We should probably go." Louis told me.
" Yeah... take Dawn out too please?" I asked breathlessly.
"Sure." El said as she gave me a hug. "Call me if you need me, okay?" She whispered as she leaned back. I nodded gratefully at her. They left and I went into the kitchen. I heard Harry's footsteps in the hall.
' What are you thinking Bethany?' I mentally scolded myself. I heard his footsteps stop. I turned around and saw him. Those rough, tangled curls, those evergreen eyes but he was still different. Dark circles were under his eyes that were bloodshot and dull, his skin pale. Yet despite this and everything that had happened, I couldn't help the small smile on my lips as I looked at the man I loved.
" Hi." I said softly.
