the outdoors ↠ (narry au)

Chapter 7

When I woke up the next day I completely forgot that I had slept on the couch considering Gemma had taken over my bed the other night.

I roll my eyes sitting up and stretching for a bit, trying to get an unknown pain out of my neck. I look up to see the sun barely peaking through the window curtain. Smiling to myself at the sight, I get up and begin to fold my blankets and grab my pillows and make my way to my room.

I knock on it a few times before completely opening it peaking my head around the door, just to see the bed neatly made and completely empty. I sigh walking in throwing my extra blankets in the closet.

My curiosity gets the best of me when I find myself walking over to Gemma and Ashton's bedroom peaking inside. I get a quick glimpse of Gemma curled up against the sheets with Ashton's arm wrapped safely around her. I almost wake them up cooing at the sight. As cute as that was, I'm assuming she forgave him for whatever he had done the other night. I roll my eyes at the thought.

I gently shut the door before going back to my room to get ready for my Saturday morning stroll out in the backyard.

When I finish getting dressed, I run downstairs and quickly grab a banana out of the bowl of fruits in the middle of the table.

I take a look outside and see the pretty crack of dawn. I turn around to Gemma and Ashton laughing together. Hm.

"Ahh, Good morning Harreh how was your little stroll?" He asks. Harreh? When was that a thing?

"Um, haven't gone yet..." Ignoring his lack of respect for my name, I take a seat on the island next to him beginning to peel my banana.

"Oh well , so me and Gemma were thinking.." He starts off, Gemma turning to me with a smirk on her face. "How would you feel about, a little one running around the house?" I almost choke on my banana. A little one? They aren't serious. Are they serious?

"Um, I mean,..are you serious?" I repeat the question, out loud.

"Well you know we want to-" Ashton begins but is soon cut off by Gemma.

"We were thinking about having a kid." She finishes.

Alright this is weird. How could they think having a kid would really be a good idea right now. I mean hell, she's only one year older than me and let's not forget Gemma is constantly crying, Ashton is always working. And as for me..well I'd be the only one watching the "little one." Maybe they think they can just have a baby and everything will work out? I don't know what they are trying to do.

Silence fills the air for about a good, long five minutes until I decide to finally speak up.

"That's great, I mean wow." I was at loss for words, but I knew what I had to say. "I mean if you guys honestly believe staring a family will solve all your problems then yeah sure. Go for it." I nonchalantly add, and kind of regretted it when I see Ashton turn to me with confusion written on his face.

"Problems? What problems? I am in a very happy relationship and as far as I know so is Gemma." He responds, he almost sounds offended.

"Happy?" I scoff. I'm starting get a little annoyed. I was certain Ashton was ignoring the way Gemma would get mad and upset at him for working all the time, but now..now I know he's just oblivious.

"Harry stop." Gemma chimes in.

"No, let him talk. What's got your tongue?" Oh he really wants to know.
