OLIVIA

Christmas is coming up and I still don't know what to get Harry. He obviously already got my gift already because he wouldn't let me go shopping with him. I was debating between making him a CD or something along those lines, but I couldn't settle on it.

Tonight we're going to dinner with my mom and Harry said he has an announcement for me, too. I'm a little worried. I slipped on my leggings and plain grey sweater before Harry walked into his bedroom.

"I like that outfit." He said, making it clear he was staring at my bottom.

I smiled at him, twisting my hair into a bun. "I'm nervous."

"Me too." He agreed. "But you get a surprise today too!" Harry exclaimed, his arms wrapping around my waist.

"Stop it, you're making me anxious!" I said, smacking him. He smiled that ear to ear grin and kissed my ear.

"Don't worry, it's a good surprise."

We got to the Italian restaurant and waited for my mom anxiously in a booth. "I don't want to say it first because I don't want to ruin the mood but I won't be able to function till we say it."

"We'll just wing it." Harry said as I saw my mom walk in. I waved her over and stood up to hug her.

"Hi, honey!" She pulled me into her arms. I smiled and sat back down.

"This is Harry." I said as they shook hands.

"Yeah, I talked to him on the phone."

"Wait, what?" Why the hell did he call my mom?

"Well," Harry said, locking eyes with my mom and then looking to me, placing his hand on my thigh. "This isn't exactly how I planned to tell you, but my mum can't afford to fly here and hates flying alone, so I thought I could go visit her." He can't leave me. I thought this was a good surprise.

"So we can both go."

My jaw dropped and I smiled, pulling Harry into a hug and my mom clapped. "Really? Just us?"

"Just us babe. That's why I talked to your mum, I needed to find out if you had your passport and stuff. We're leaving Sunday."

"Sunday!" I cried. "We're missing a week of classes."

"I talked to your professors and your boss."

"I love you." I said, and Harry smiled, wrapping his arm around me.

"So why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend, Olivia?" My mom beamed.

"I uh, I don't really know."

"How long have you been together?" God, the woman is a fucking test.

"Few months." Harry said. I noted to thank him later.

"Liv, where is your lip ring?" My mom half smiled.

"Decided to take it out, I guess."

We ordered and ate and all I could think of is what her face will look like when we tell her the truth behind this dinner.

We ordered desert and Harry and I looked at each other. Taking a deep breath, I looked to my mom. "Mom, we have a little bit of news for you."

"Good or bad?" Jesus Christ.

"Either. Your choice." Harry said calmly with his hand squeezing my thigh. He was just as nervous as I was.

When my mom didn't talk I decided to. "I'm, um," I closed my eyes and counted to three. The whole world was on my shoulders. "I'm pregnant."
