"Are you sure you want to do this bub?",  Niall asked from beside Harry. They were currently in their shared house in California with Liam and Louis sitting on the sofa beside them.

"Y-Yeah.", a nervous Harry said. He rubbed his sweaty palms on his 6months t-shirt clothed big baby bump, making his 3 friends look at him suspiciously. He laughed nervously at them.

"Wh-what guys? Why are you looking at me like this?", he said, not meeting their eyes, making their frown deepen.

"You do realize that we know you too well to tell that you're not okay, right?",  Liam said making Harry huff.

"You guys know me so well. That's not fair.", Harry said while pouting. But he was happy from inside that he had got such good friends to know him that well. He never had even one before. So he was happy that he had now got three. He was truly happy.

"Aww, did lwittle hazza gwet angwy?" Louis said in a baby voice that made Harry whine. "Aw, dwon'th wowwy hwarry, we'll nut twease uh", Louis said making the other two boys laugh despite the seriousness of the situation and Harry huff again.

"Okay okay. Enough with the teasing. But seriously Harry, are you okay signing the papers?" Niall said from beside him and the room went silent instantly.

"To be honest, no, I'm not. You know I love him Niall but he doesn't. Besides, he doesn't want to do anything with me  anyways. So I guess, it'll be better for both of us.", signing Harry said while rubbing his bump. Niall, Louis and Liam nodded in agreement.

"I guess you are right. Go ahead bub. We are with you always", Niall said, giving him a smile. Harry smiled back at him and after releasing a deep breath, with shaky hands, he finally signed the divorce papers. He held back the tears that tried so hard to escape. No he won't cry, he won't.

"Alright, I'm gonna mail him these papers then.", Liam said as he stood up from the sofa and took the divorce papers from Harry. He walked out of the house but not before the three of them pulling Harry into a group hug. They knew, how much Harry needed that.

It was only Niall and Louis. Both of them sitting on the both side of Harry. There was a comfortable silence in the room.

"Thanks for being there with me guys. I don't know what I would do without you.", Harry broke the silence as tears brimmed in his eyes. Louis instantly pulled him into a comforting friendly hug and started rubbing soothing circles on his back.

"You would have been okay Harry, you know why? Because you are strong, stronger than anyone I've seen.", Louis said while comforting him.

Nodding, Harry sniffed and broke the hug. He gave Louis a small smile then turned to Niall who was sitting on the other side of him silently, watching two of his best friends interact with a small smile.

"Ni, Can you make me that peanut butter and jelly sandwich with the pickle on the top?" He asked, giving him his best puppy dog eyes. He knew, it worked every time. Niall grimaced but nodded anyways and got up to go to the kitchen. Leaving a laughing Louis and a grinning Harry behind him.

"How could you eat that shit Haz?", Louis said, still laughing. Harry shrugged simply and said, "it's a pregnancy thing maybe. But I love it" and to prove his point Harry licked his lips making Louis laugh hard.

"You are something else Styles.", Louis said casually and started laughing but soon stopped when he noticed the tears in the corner of his best friend's eyes.

"What happened Haz? Are you hurting?", Louis asked, all alert and concerned. He placed his hands on his baby bump but it felt normal. The natural kicks.

"It-it's nothing. H-He used to c-call me St-styles too.", Harry sniffed.

Louis muttered a "oh shit" under his breath and opened his arms for Harry. Harry embraced him tight while sobbed on his chest. Louis whispered sweet nothings into his ears in order to calm him down which seemed to work, 'cause after sometimes Harry stopped sobbing.

They heard footsteps approaching them and Harry broke the hug. His eyes shinning like stars and mouth started to water as he saw Niall approaching them with the sandwich in the plate, in his hands.

"You are the best Ni.", Harry said as he practically snatched the plate from Niall's hand and took a bite, moaning at the taste.

"Whoa! Easy bub. There's two more sandwiches in the kitchen if you want more.", Niall said laughing while Harry muttered a "shuthh uhp" with his mouth full.  Louis faked a "eww" face making Harry glare at him then three of them started laughing. Well, the two of them 'cause Harry was giggling with his mouth full.

Niall went to the kitchen again to make the lunch, leaving Harry and Louis alone again in the room. Harry was munching so happily on his sandwich that he didn't notice a smiling Louis taking out his phone and snapping a pic of him munching on the sandwich, quickly.

"I wish, moments like these would last forever Hazza.", smiling softly, Louis whispered to himself so lowly, that even Harry couldn't heard him, even though he was sitting just beside him. And Louis silently prayed, his this goofy best friend would stay happy like this forever.
