Little Things

Chapter 2

"Are you sure you wanna tell them now babe?"

"Harry I'm gonna start gaining weight pretty soon, they have to find out sometime." I replied as I pulled my hair up into a high pony tail.

We were meeting the whole crew for dinner tonight to tell them about the baby, and the engagement.

"What's the big deal anyways?" I asked curiously

"Nothing. I'm glad we're telling them" he forced a smile

"I've know you for almost five years now Haz, what's going on? You are happy about this baby right?"

Oh no. What if he didn't want the baby all of a sudden? What if he thinks getting engaged was a mistake? That can't be it, please don't let that be it.

I felt my hands start to tremble, was he ashamed of getting me pregnant and wanting to marry me?

He must have noticed my discomfort because he pulled me into him and tightly wrapped his arms around me.

"Emma, I love you and I love this baby. And no, asking you to marry me was not a mistake or something I regret"

I lifted my head and saw the smile on his lips.

"You know me to well" I giggled, wiping the tears that had threatened to fall from my eyes.

He nodded and let go of me.

"I just, I don't know what they're going to think about all of this"

"They're your best mates, they're going to be happy for you. You know that"

He took a seat on the bed and ran his fingers through his hair. I sat next to him and rubbed his shoulder.

"They're not the ones I'm worried about"

"Then who?"

"Management"

Shit. I had completely forgotten there was a group of people who controlled and criticized every move Harry and I made.

"You know the boys won't tell them until we make the decision."

The last thing we needed was for them to find out from anyone other than us. We would be in such deep shit.

"Hey, look at me" I touched his cheek with my palm and looked into his bright green eyes.

"Tonight we're not going to worry about them. The boys are going to be happy for us and that's what we're going to focus on. Okay?"

He nodded his head and pecked my lips. "Okay mommy" he whispered playfully

We both continued to get ready and before I knew it our car was out front waiting for us.

"Remind me again why were not driving? It's not like I can drink" I asked on the way over to the restaurant.

"But I probably will and you don't need to be driving with the baby"

I don't need to drive with the baby? Is he being serious?

"Please tell me you're kidding babe"

He gave me a questioning look. "Why would I be kidding?"

"I don't think it's against the law to drive while you're pregnant" I giggled

He rolled his eyes in response; I could tell he was getting frustrated.

"Harry me driving isn't going to harm the baby, if that's what your scared of"

"But you have two people to take care of now. I would rather you not drive"
