I'm Pregnant with Harry Styles' Baby?!

New Beginnings.

I thanked the guy, Ed, I think his name was, who helped me lug my bags up the short flight of stairs to my apartment. He lives 2 flats down the street. I shut the door and pulled the bags up to the nearest doorway and pushed it open. I was greeted with a standard living room. I left the bags against the wall and went to look around the rest of my new home.

     It must seem like I'm a heartless monster for leaving not just the father of my children but my family and friends without them knowing if I'm alive or safe and I hate myself for doing it. I just want my children to grow up with a normal life and have a safe and reliable family which they wouldn't have with a mega famous dad. 

      I entered my new kitchen which thankfully came with a dishwasher because I hate washing dishes. I left and walked up the stairs. I found the bathroom, what will be my bedroom and a bigger room that will be the babies room. Thankfully the apartment has furniture in it already so that saves me alot of money. I'll still have to buy all of things for the babies but I have a few months to save up.

     I rubbed my bump as I made my way back down the stairs. The doorbell shrilled causing me to furrow my forehead in confusion. I haven't been here an hour and I already have someone at my door. I chill of fear coursed through me as I contemplated the thought that maybe they found me but I shook of the ridiculous thought off as I reached out to open the door. I opened it and I saw that Ed was waiting on the other side.

   "Oh, Hi Ed." I said cheerfully.
" Hey Tara. I was just going to ask you if you wanted help unpacking or that? I know you've got a lot of stuff and I'd feel terrible leaving a pregnant woman to do all of that by yourself." He smile nervously. It's going to take some time getting used to my name being Tara now instead of Bethany but I love the freedom of not having to hide my pregnancy anymore.
" That's really nice of you and on any other I'd say no but I am really tired and it would be great to have an extra set of hands would be great if you didn't mind." I smiled back at him.
" Not at all." He stepped through the door as I opened it further for him. After I shut it and turned around, Ed rubbed his hands together and said "Right, where do we start?" I laughed as I led him into the living room.

      Three hours later, all of my stuff had been unpacked and put away. Ed even went to the local supermarket to get me basic groceries after I realised I had no food. He blamed it on my so called 'Baby brain' which I simply laughed at and told him that he shouldn't have given me an excuse.

We were now sitting on my couch eating pasta and we were supposed to be watching an action film on he television but instead we were asking each other 21 questions which must be 70 questions at the stage. It was Ed's turned to ask me now as our laughter dissolved.

    " Why did you move here?" He asked, his eyes gazing intently at me. My smile disappeared as I focused on the leftover pasta in my bowl. After a few silent moments, Ed cleared his throat before he spoke. " I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked, that was stupid of me."
" No, it's okay. It's just, I don't think I'm ready to talk about it just yet." I looked up at him and gave him a small smile to assure him I was fine. Thankfully,  he returned it and we turned our attention to the rest of the movie on the screen.

Nearly an hour later, the movie had ended and I struggled to keep my tired eyes open. I yawned and Ed took it as a cue to leave.
" I should go. But I'll come by tomorrow if you want? I have a few days off from work conveniently." He said as he stood up, stretching his muscular arms. Ed was actually a really attractive guy, like really attractive. And I had learned in our questioning of each other that he was single, but I'm not ready for any type of relationship yet and I highly doubt he wants to be involved with some mysterious, pregnant chick.
" I'm gonna do a bit of job searching tomorrow and them do some more shopping but you can call over in the evening, if you really want to."
" Cool. Well you have my number so shoot me a text when you're back or if you get lost." I laughed.
" I will. The city is just a ten minute walk away though isn't it? That's what the old owner of the flat said."
" Yeah, it is. Just go to the end of this street, turn right and them follow that road for a few minutes and you'll be there."
I rose to walk Ed to the door.
" Thank you, Ed. For everything."
" It's really no problem, Tara. Have a good night."
" Good night, Ed." I smiled and waved as he descended the few steps. I closed the door and went back in the living room. I shut off the TV and took our dirty bowls out to the kitchen.

   My headache from the other day was starting to resurface so I filled a glass with water and took a painkiller that was safe to use during pregnancy. I was only 8 o' clock but I was so tired and I didn't want to be left to wallow in my thoughts, so I locked the front door and went up to my new room. I put my phone on charge and changed into a pair of oversized sweats and a cami. It didn't take me long to fall asleep after my head hit the pillow.
