Truly, Madly, Deeply

Chapter Eight

I was woken up at 2am by my stomach. I can officially say that I have had enough of this. It is driving me crazy.

I crawled back into bed and checked my phone for any messages. There was one

From: Harry

Hey baby. I know you're probably asleep now but I just wanted to say that I can't wait to see you. I'll be home as soon as possible. I love you .x

I couldn't help but smile as I read his message. I hadn't even realised that it was today that he was coming home until I had read his message for the fifth time. I wasn't aware of the increase of my heart rate until I had finished repeatedly reading the text.

To: Harry

I was asleep but not anymore. I can't wait to see you either. I will be waiting for you. I love you xx

I pressed the send button and got back into bed. I laid there for about half an hour because I couldn't get to sleep. The anticipation of seeing Harry was keeping me awake. I couldn't wait to see him, to cuddle him, to hold his hand. It was the little things like that that made me fall even deeper in love with him. It was moments like that that really, truly mattered, when it felt like we were the only two people in the world.

I woke up at 8:30 with my alarm. It is one of the most annoying noises in the world. I reached over to the bedside table and turned it off.

After eventually rolling out of bed, I decided I didn't want any breakfast. My stomach was full of butterflies which made me feel like I wasn't hungry.

As I made myself a coffee, I couldn't stop the smile that was plastered on my face.

My phone vibrated against the kitchen cabinet. I rushed over to pick it up, hoping it was Harry. The smile briefly left my far when I noticed it was my mum calling, not Harry.

"Hi mum, how are you?"

"Hey babe. I'm good. You're in a very good mood this morning. Would a certain guy called Harry have anything to do with it?" she teased.

"Maybe..." I giggled.

"What time will he be home?"

"I don't know actually. I'll have to ask him."

"Well that's not useful. How can you not know why time he will be home?" she laughed.

"I don't know how." I giggled "I'm so excited to see him mum."

"I bet you are. How has your morning sickness been?" She asked in a concerned tone.

"I haven't actually been sick this morning. It must be the first day that I haven't been sick since we found out" I hadn't thought about that before.

"Maybe the baby knows their daddy is coming home today" I could hear her smile through her words. I couldn't help but smile as she said this. Maybe the baby did know. Even if they didn't, it's still a sweet thought.

"Maybe. I'll have to tell Harry, he will be so excited" I stayed on the phone with her for another 30 minutes talking about my sisters. Apparently, Lottie is still being distant an quiet. I will go and see her tomorrow and try to cheer her up.

As soon as I had put the pone down, I text Harry asking what time his flight was and when he would be home. I got a reply almost immediately he told me he was just getting on the plane an would text me when he is about to land.

Before he left, Harry spoke to me a few times about staying calm and not stressing myself out. He was so worried about me and the baby. He also insisted that I shouldn't meet him at the airport because of the crowds and he didn't want me getting hurt.
