Harry POV

"I'll pick up the food in twenty." I tell May who's on the couch.

"Okay." She says with a smile that I love seeing. I lean down and kiss her pink swollen lips.

I'm excited and nervous that I'm having a daughter. I just want to make sure I'm the best Dad to her.

I look at May who's looking back at the TV. Her hands rest on her stomach. I think she's going to be a great Mom. I just wish her mother wouldn't be such a cunt.

"Would you like your present now or later?" I ask May. Her eyes look back to me.

"I told you not to get me anything." She shrugs.

"And I said oh well." Her blue eyes narrow at me.

"Harry-"

"Sh, now answer my question."

"Now I guess."

"Okay great. Stay here and I'll bring it out to you."

"Is it expensive?"

"Is that even question?" May huffs and leans back.

I go to our bedroom, grab the gift, and return back. "So," I start. She pauses the TV. My hands are behind my back. "I need you to close your eyes and put your hands out."

She doesn't argue, she just does it. I slowly put her new car keys in her hand. "Open your eyes."

She does slowly and looks down to her hand. Her eyes widen. "Your new Range Rover is outside."

"W-what?" May stammers. "Harry I can't accept this."

"Too bad." I kiss her cheek. "You need a new car."

"But those cars are expensive and I don't deserve it." Her eyes well up. I tilt my head at her and cup her cheeks.

"Yes you do." I kiss her forehead. "Happy Birthday May." Her eyes look back up into mine.

"I don't deserve you Harry."

"I don't deserve you either." I press my lips against hers. "I'm going to get the food." I say while standing up fully.

"Okay, text me when you're on your way back so I can set up plates."

"Will do." I slip on my shoes and leave our apartment.

Once I reach my car I hear people mumble behind me and laugh. I slowly turn around and see some guys from school. One of the guys car is parked next to mine.

"Aren't you the one with the hoe?" The guy closest to me asks. My eyebrows furrow.

"Excuse me?"

"The pregnant hoe." I bite down on my jaw. "Aren't you with her?"

"She's not a hoe." I quickly defend. "And yeah, she's my girlfriend. Is there a problem?"

"No problem. I'm just asking." He chuckles. "Is the kid yours?"

"Yes the baby is mine." I say. "Is there something you want to ask?"

"Yeah, why are you with the stuttering hoe? I bet the stutter is a fake one just to get the guys. Well, it got you didn't it?" His friend laughs behind him. I step toward the one making comments.

"Mind your own damn business."

He takes a drag out of his cigarette. "I just feel bad for the kid, it's a bastard." My fist swings at the mans jaw and he falls back into his car. I knee him hardly in his chest and shove him onto the pavement. His friend doesn't do shit.

Once I see blood dripping from his nose and lip I kneel down beside him. I lift up his shirt by the front and speak. "If I see you one inch close to my girlfriend, don't expect any mercy from me because I will hurt you to the point you might as well be dead. Got it?" I say through gritted teeth. "That also goes for if I hear your big mouth running again about her stutter or how she's a hoe when she's far fucking from." His eyes meet mine. I throw him back onto the ground and stand up.

His friend soon rushes over to him and I get into my car and drive away.

I open the apartment door and hear footsteps come toward me. I see May. Her hair is in a messy high bun and she looks overall cute as always.

Her eyes fall to my hand and she looks back up at me. "What happened to your hand?" She walks over to me and runs her thumb over my knuckles.

"N-nothing." I mutter through pain of her touching my cut.

"Did you slam your car door on your hand?"

"No." I say. "Just don't worry about it." May's eyes look sad.

"Harry what happened?"

"I don't want to talk about it." Her head tilts. I kiss her forehead.

"But you're hurt. C'mon let's clean it up." She tugs me to the kitchen. I put the bag of food on the counter and she grabs the first aid kit.

"Did you get into a fight?" May asks me.

"Yes." I mutter.

"How?"

"I was in the parking lot for the building and this guy was talking shit about you." Her shoulders shrug. "Do you know him?"

"He calls me a hoe whenever I see him." She tabs my cut. Anger rises through my veins. "But it's not just him who calls me that, so."

"There are more people who call you a whore? Who make fun of you because you're pregnant?" My voice raises.

"Yeah."

"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask. My voice tense.

"Because I don't care about them. And I don't want you to punch whoever makes a crack about me."

"As your boyfriend it's my job to protect you May. And I should've done it in high school and I regret every fucking minute I didn't because we were a secret. I shouldn't have listened to you and let people know about us so you could be happier. But I will not hear that my child is a bastard just because her parents are not married." I feel my eyes sting. May presses her head against my chest.

"Not every guy you hit is going to take it or be weaker than you. I know one day one guy is going to hurt you and I don't want you to go through that. And I'd imagine you don't want our daughter to know that her Dad used punch people." Her blue eyes look into mine. "Please promise me you'll stop."

"But-"

"I don't need you to defend me to assholes who are unhappy and need to point out my stutter every minute." I bite my lip and she kisses my cheek.

"I can't promise I won't say anything though. Just no hitting."

"Thank you." May says. "Now lets go eat I'm starving." I smile gently.

***

May fell asleep around nine. Her head is next to mine and her hand is laying on top of mine. I rest my empty hand on her growing bump and gently draw small circles.

I still can't believe that I'm going to be a Dad. I'm excited though. And I can't wait to meet her.

"Goodnight Princess." I kiss May's bump and snuggle up into my girlfriend.
