WOW.... it's been over 5 years since I've updated this and how life has changed. I don't even know where to begin. I don't even know if anyone is even reading this anymore but I figured I had 3/4 of a chapter written so why not try and finish it to see if anyone's actually reading this!
Leave me a comment if you are reading this, new or old fans I'd love to see the interest!

Well here goes, chapter 44 - Enjoy xox

Hannahs POV ~

Things around the house were getting more and more tense by the minute. It was hard for anyone to live like this and it was starting to show.

It's been less than 12 hours since we've been home and Niall and Zayn have already been walking on egg shells around us in a way that was hard to explain. On one hand they were keeping their distance but on the another they wanting to provide as much support as they could.
If this was an indication of how the next 3 days would pan out I couldn't stay here. The pressure was becoming far too much already and being heavily pregnant I was not going to risk my baby's health over stress.

I walked around the kitchen and up the stairs, taking each step slowly as my belly had become increasingly large and sore from the tests. I winced in pain as I reached the top, rubbing the under part of my belly before making my way to my bedroom to lay down. I had thoughts of going and seeing Mum for a bit but I knew I couldn't put this pressure on her so I decided to look up some quick getaway destinations. At this point in time I didn't care if I went alone, I just knew I couldn't stay here. Couple places come to mind, just more private locations out of the city somewhere near a lake or the beach. I needed somewhere to clear my mind and help me to come to terms with whatever my new reality was going to look like.

"Hannah?" I heard a voice from behind the door.

I got up to answer but Harry walked in anyway. "Are you alright? I know you're stressed but shutting yourself off isn't going to help" In a way he was right, but in a different way he didn't really understand any of the thoughts going through my head. Yes we are going through the same thing, but how this effects both of us if the answer isn't what we hope for will be different

I didn't know how to resopnd, I wanted to yell and cry but nothing came out except for tears. " I - I need to go." I closed my laptop and attempted to get off the bed.

Harry quickly came to my aid helping me up. "Hannah where are you going? Running away isnt going to solve things either." He was right, but with everything going on I needed to escape the thoughts and being in the house only clouded my mind further. "I told you Harry, I have to go. You can either come with me or you can choose to stay here. The choice is yours." I could see how this was hurting him and I knew that seeing me this way was far from easy for him.

"Okay. Give me an hour to get my stuff together and sort things out on my end." Harry quickly pulled his phone from his pocket and started typing as he walked to the bathroom. I breathed a sigh of relief almost as though I started to believe that things could be okay again but I knew that it wasn't as simple as that.

I went back onto my laptop and booked us a little getaway at this secluded cottage in the middle of nowhere. Perfect, we could finally spend some time just the two of us and talk about what the future holds. I went to the closest and started packing some of the things I knew I'd need. It was weird packing for small trip because usually I'd pack basically everything I own when we go on tour but this time I just needed a few things to get me though the next few days.

An hour or so passed and Harry had just come into my room and grabbed by bag to put into the car. He hardly said a word to me. I could tell if he was getting angrier by the minute or if he was just trying to give me space.

"You ready?" He quietly asked as he stood in the doorway of our room.

"I guess" I shrugged as I stood up and started making my way down stairs. I couldn't face Liam, I just needed to leave so I quickly walked out the door, not saying a single word to anyone which was so unlike me. I opened the car door and strapped my buckle under my belly, waiting for Harry to start the car.

- Harry's POV-

This was killing me, more than anyone would ever know. I remember when I first learned about the pregnancy and how concerned I was about my entire world changing and somehow I was in that same position again the only difference was that my life could suddenly be without the girl of my dreams and the baby she's carrying. The baby that I loved more than life itself suddenly might not be mine. Would I be able to move past this? Could I love her even if she wasn't mine? Would Hannah leave me for Liam if the baby is his? All these questions swirled around my head as I packed my things to leave for the getaway. I knew how badly she needed to get away so I couldn't let her go alone.

"I'll see you guys in a few days. You can reach me on my cell if you really need anything" I yelled from the bottom of the stairs as I headed out the door to find Hannah already waiting in the car.

"You warm enough?" I asked as I rubbed her knee. She looked at me with a dazed look, she was completely out of it. "Yeah, I'm okay" she sighed as she stared back out the window.

We drove for a few hours before we reached our cottage. Hannah got out of the car and stretched, I could only imagine how uncomfortable the drive would be being almost 8 months pregnant.

We got our bags and settled in. The cottage was beyond gorgeous. We had a jacuzzi tub in front of our bed which was decorated with red rose petals and a hamper of food on our bed.

Hannah plonked herself onto the bed and put her head into her hands as she began to sob. "I'm so sorry" was all she kept saying, over and over.

"Hannah, there's nothing to be sorry for. We've gone over this a thousand times. We just need to wait and see what happens but regardless you know you'll always have me babe" I tried my best to comfort her even though deep down I wasn't sure it was going to be okay.

"I'm just scared I'm going to lose both of you. Either way Haz, I can't win. She's our baby and Liam probably never gets over it or she's Liam's and I lose you." I could see the fear in her eyes and at that moment I wish there was something I could do to take some of this pain from her.

I knew that there was one thing I could do to prove  that my love for her was stronger than ever.... I leaned over to my jacked that was on the floor and pulled out a tiny box... "I told you that you'll always have me... and I meant it when I said it Hannah. I love you more than words can describe"
