Harry was in a happy relationship and had his life set straight until he finds out he can get pregnant...when he actually ends up pregnant. Hit with the harsh reality of a boyfriend not ready for fatherhood, he finds solace in his best friend, Louis...
"So you're finally coming back yeah?" Liam asks with a nervous chuckle.
"For God's sake Liam, for the tenth time, yes I am!" Louis grumbles aghast.
"Can't you stay for a few more days?"
"Liam why the fuck are you being so shady? The day I went you kept insisting I come back as soon as possible. Did you mess up the accounts or something?"
"Yeah about that, we didn't, er, really tally the accounts." Liam laughs nervously.
"What?" Louis whisper- yells. "You didn't tally them? You had one job while I was gone Liam, one job!!"
"I know, I know, it's just that I've been otherwise-"
"Oh shut it, Liam. I don't care. Start tallying them now, please. My flight is boarding, I'll talk to you when I land." Louis hangs up without another word, picking up his passport and boarding pass and moving to the boarding counter.
"May I see your boarding pass, sir?" Louis hands it to the man. "Thank you." Louis proceeds and is asked for his boarding pass again at the gateway.
He hands it over. "Can I ask you something?" He questions the stewardess.
"Sure sir."
"Why am I asked for my pass at the boarding counter and then again at the gate? It's not really like during that short walk of one minute I've changed or someone magically birthed out of me or my carry-on?"
"I don't know sir, it's protocol." She answers bashfully.
"That's quite alright. I've been asking this every time I fly for work but I've never got the answer. Thank you."
"No problem, sir. Have a good flight." Louis smiles at her and takes his seat in the business class. He wonders if Harry will like the shirt he got for the baby. His last thought before he falls asleep is of Harry and his baby. Or in his mind and dreams, their baby.

"H!! I got you something, you're going to love it." Louis calls out entering the house. He knows Harry's home today.
Quickly going to his room, he opens his suitcase and pulls out the shirt. "Harry? Where are you love?" He calls out walking to Harry's room. Knocking on the door, he quietly enters and finds Harry sleeping. "H?" He shakes him awake.
"Lou?" His voice cracks.
"Hi, why aren't you in our room?" Harry doesn't say anything. "I got you this." He holds out the bag to him. Harry smiles weakly and takes it pulling out the shirt. He takes one look at the text and his eyes well up.

"Well? Do you like it?" He doesn't say anything. "H? Do you like it?" He asks softer this time. A tiny tear falls out of Harry's eye.
