" Bethany... I-Im so sorry. I can't tell you how sorry I am-" He rushed.
"No. Stop" I cut him off. " We're here to talk about our children. Not for you to remind me why I hate you." I spoke the last sentence through gritted teeth and glared at him, all smiles gone from my face. He looked sad, "You're right" He coughed slightly. " I- I just need to explain."
"I said stop. If it weren't for the fact that I'm pregnant, you wouldn't being seeing me again."
He sighed but reluctantly nodded. I know the words were hard for him to hear, but what he doesn't know is that they were also hard to say. I sat down quietly at the kitchen island and he sat down across from me. I pulled the sleeves of the jumper up around my hands, a habit I had when I was nervous.
" So, what do we talk about?" I asked, attempting to make an effort.
" The babies, I guess?" He replied, softly as his eyes rose to meet mine. And I allowed them. I pulled in a stuttered breath, there was no getting used to his eyes, ever.
Unable to move my gaze, I spoke, "Yeah. What do you wanna know?"
" How about we start with the basics? How far along are you?" Again, I couldn't help but smile slightly. I loved talking about my pregnancy
'Bethany, you are acting seriously Bi-polar recently.' I thought to myself.
" It's just hormones" I muttered under my breath to myself.
" What?" Harry asked confused.
" Oh, umm nothing. I'm like 3 months now. I have an appointment on Monday."
"Oh, do you think that maybe I could go? To the appointment?"
I froze. No, I definitely did not want him there but did I have the right to stop him from seeing and learning about his unborn children?
" I suppose so. You have a right to be there." His eyes widened in suprise and he smiled.
" I thought you would have said no. I didn't think you would want me there."
" I don't, and we need to discuss after the babies are born."
" I think it might be better to leave that until nearer the time, don't you? I mean, incase our situation changes."
" Or incase we get back together, you mean." I leaned forward in my seat in an attempt to be intimidating." That's not going to happen Harry, okay? We're not getting back together, so don't plan for it." I said clearly so there was no chance of confusion or misinterpretation as my eyes narrowed. He swallowed and dipped his head, he wasn't able to fight me. I stood up and walked towards the fridge.
" I think we've talked enough today. You should go." I said to him without turning around. I heard him stand up as I opened the fridge and I huffed. I swear Dawn never buys food unless I'm here, how on earth does she survive?
" Are you alright?" Harry asked cautiously obviously sensing my annoyance.
" Just hungry and of course there's no food. I mean why would there be?" I stated while turning around and absentmindedly put my hand on my bump. It didn't take long for Harry's eyes to follow my hand and see how big my bump was already. I had it hid from him the whole visit.
" Oh, you've really grew." He commented.
"I know" I replied rolling my eyes. He paused and brought his eyes from mine to the bump and back again. "Could I see it?" He asked timidly. I hesitated before I pulled my jumper over my head and placed it on the counter beside me. Again, his eyes travelled down and he smiled when he seen me in full. He started to walk towards me but stopped when I took a step back. " I'm sorry. Do you think, I could- sorry if this sounds weird, but could I feel them?" I could tell he was upset that I walked away and he was really nervous about asking me. I dint like how we treaded on eggshells around each other now compared to our relationship a mere month ago. It seems irrepairable now. I nooded at him and stepped forward. He walked again, slower this time and dropped to his knees in front of the bump that held our babies and ever so gently placed his hands there. I tried to ignore the craving for more of his touch and I fought the desire to give up everything and take him back right there and then. Then I heard him whisper," Hello babies. I'm your daddy. I love you both so so much and your mummy too." His thumbed rubbed my bump lightly and I noticed the tears spilling from his eyes. I tilted my head back and looked at the ceiling to try and prevent my own from falling, to no avail. They fell silently down my cheeks. It was only when he pressed his lips lightly to my bump that I lost it. I collapsed in his arms in a sobbing mess.
" Bethany? Love, I'm so so sorry!" He said into my ear. I didn't want to show I was weak but it was like a dam had burst open and every single thing was free. I grabbed at his shirt as I sobbed freely. " Why did you do it? Why did you do this to me?" I asked him. I could feel him shaking from crying too.
" I really don't know. I'm so stupid and it kills me, it absolutely kills me to see you in pain and know that I'm the cause, Bethany. I'm so sorry." With every word he spoke, I crumbled a little bit more. We sat there for almost half an hour with both of us crying and him trying to console me, until my sobs turned to hiccups and my eyes felt dry. I leaned away and looked at him. " I'm sorry, I really am. There isn't enough words to tell you how much you mean to me and how sorry I am." He told me with his voice dry and raspy from crying. I nodded and finally allowed myself to say the one thing that I told myself I would never tell him.
" I forgive you." I whispered as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders.
" I love you. So, so, so, much." He said in my ear. I could only nod my head in reply as a wave of tiredness hit me and I closed my eyes. Falling asleep in the place I belonged, the arms of the man I loved.

In case you can't tell, this was going a completely different way when I started but I just went with the flow. I had so many different ideas for this chapter and I was gonna be mean and jump forward and not tell you what happened but as you see, I didn't! 😄 Are you happy that Bethany has forgiven Harry?? If anybody has any ideas for this story, pm me! I'm not stuck for ideas or anything but I'd love to try and make this a story you want rather than what I want.
