2:00 am. Four hours to go. Everything had slipped out of her hands. How much ever she wanted him, she just couldn't have him, not now. All that she could do, was relive the memories....
Warning: Contains swear words. Don't read if you are not comfor...
The memories which I tried to block away, unfortunately, came back to me effortlessly...
Harry put me down on the bed and we turned more serious. "Harry, how are we going to tell this to your parents? Your previous management didn't let us tell anyone. I mean, your family doesn't even know that we're dating then how are we supposed to tell them that we are going to have a baby?" I asked. I was seriously worried now. What if Anne and Robin didn't accept...I couldn't let my baby grow without a family, could I? It was as though Harry read my thoughts because a worried look was etched on his face too. He thought for a while and then said,"I'm going to release my own album so I've got a new management and they're a bit better so I guess we should first talk to them first." I agreed and Harry immediately called the management people and made an appointment with them
After an hour, Harry and I set out for the management office. I looked at Harry with a worried expression. What if all this didn't work out? I couldn't, we couldn't let our baby die. I didn't want to. We reached the office and enter with our hands intertwined tightly. I was scared would be an understatement. Just before opening the door and facing the management people Harry kissed my lips. We looked into each other's eyes and I only saw love, lots and lots of love. He held my hand and said in a voice which sent shivers down my spine,"Look, whatever decision is taken inside, always remember that I love you, always loved you and will always love you and you only. So no matter what happens from now, you will be my only true love." He then placed a kiss on my forehead and we walked inside together.
We were greeted by a bald man wearing a black suit who said his name was Dave. Harry and I sat opposite to him and then he spoke up,"Who might this be Harry? I'm guessing she's your girlfriend." Harry nodded and replied,"Yes she is my girlfriend and we've got a problem right now. She's pregnant." Dave's face became grim. He then spoke up,"Well, we have got a serious problem here. To keep the baby or not is completely your decision but you know there will be consequences if you do keep the baby. First of all, no one knows you both are dating so you'll literally be thrown into the fame bubble. Secondly, you Emma, are likely to get a lot of hate, like people saying that the baby is not Harry's and stuff. Thirdly, Harry, you are in a critical stage of your career, like you're in a movie, you're releasing an album by April 2017. You are already busy shooting so if there's a pregnant lady in the picture now, how the hell are you going to complete the album? But as I said before, the decision is completely yours." Dave leant back in his chair. I was scared. I was terribly scared for me, for Harry and most importantly for the baby. I had to, simply had to protect my child and looking at Harry, it told me that he thought so too.
The drive back home was silent. None of us said a thing because we knew that the same sequence of thoughts was going through our minds. That night, Harry didn't stay. He went back to his house because he needed to think and I let him too because I didn't want to take any decision in haste. That night I couldn't sleep because I was so very worried.
The next day morning I got a call from a seemingly exhausted Harry. He told me that we needed to talk to his parents and that he would pick me up in an hour. We drove all the way to Cheshire, but this was different. Harry was different. He didn't crack any jokes, nor did he make any cheesy comments and he looked scared. Like me. When we reached Harry's home in Cheshire, I felt my heart literally jumping in my chest and I could hear Harry repeatedly murmur to himself that everything was going to be fine. It was the first time in my life that I couldn't make myself give Harry any hope cause I was devoid of it too.
When we entered the house, we were greeted by an ecstatic Robin and a teary-eyed Anne. After hugs and 'how are you' we all settled onto the sofa. And then I started off,"Some time back, Harry and I had gone to a par-party and we, we sorta g-got drunk..." Harry continued,"And now she's pregnant with my baby." Silence. A disappointed look came onto Anne's face as I felt emptiness swallow me. "How could you Harry? I mean, you both are just friends and... Harry, I'm disappointed. Why? One night stand?" Harry tried to explain," Mom we're-" "No Harry. No need to say anything. We are getting Emma married to someone, this way the deed you did can be covered up. You can't become a father right now, when everything's going just fine." I was shocked. I stammered, as tears started forming in my eyes,"I-I don't want to get m-married now, Anne. You can't do this." A smirk found its way on Anne's face as she said in a menacing tone,"Technically, I can. You're mother's will clearly states that I have the right to decide when and to whom you'll be married to so you'll do as I say, get it? Now you both, go back home, we've got so much to do for your wedding." Anne and Robin went back inside leaving Harry and I in a shocked, angry and flustered state. I had never in my life expected that Anne would say that. This was all so wrong! I couldn't get married now and if I did get married, it simply had to be Harry! I looked at Harry and the indescribable expression on his face simply tore me apart.
"L-lets go home Harry, I can't stay here." I said trembling. Harry nodded his head and we went to his car. We sat inside and Harry was about to turn the ignition to the car when he broke down. He simply broke down. He cried and cried for five minutes and I held him. I didn't break down; I was too numb to cry just now, though I knew I was going to end up doing that once we reached home. "This....it's not fair, Emma, it's not fair. After all we've been through, this is simply not the way things should end!" Harry said between sobs. "I know Harry, I know..." was all I could say.
We drove back home in silence. Nothing could be worse... (Continued in next chapter)
