The Perfect Fathers (SEQUEL to The Perfect Parents)

Chapter Four - The Hardest Decision

Harry’s POV

It’s been 2 weeks since I told Louis about the baby. He hasn’t spoken to me since then. 2 whole weeks! I expected him to at least yell at me again, but nothing? I’ve tried to talk to him but he just ignores me. I knew he hated me.

“Are you guys staying here? We’re heading out to get some food.” Zayn asked one morning. We had a few hours before our next concert.

“I am.” I answered. “Someone needs to watch Julie when she wakes up.”

“Lou?” Liam asked.

“I’ll come.” He said standing up. “I don’t want to stay here anyway.” He mumbled, but I heard him.

“You two really need to sort your shit out!” Niall snapped. “I’m sick of all this fighting and it’s rubbing off on Juliet. She thinks you guys are mad at her. Why do you think she sleeps with me all the time?”

“It’s not my fault Louis won’t talk to me. I haven’t done anything!” I yelled.

“You have!” He yelled back. “You think I would be mad and angry that you got pregnant again. You didn’t even talk to me about it, that’s why I’m mad at you Harry. You jump to conclusions.” He said shaking his head.

“You’re the one who said you didn’t want another baby. I didn’t want this to happen Louis. I wanted you to be happy and excited. But then you yelled at me and I knew you weren’t happy.”

“Dada?” Juliet said sleepily. “Why you cwying?” She asked coming over to me.

“I’m not crying honey.” I smiled picking her up.

“Yes you are. Dada sad.” She said snuggling into me. “Why you sad?”

“I’m not sad baby. I’m happy. You’re going to have a little brother or sister.” I told her.

“A baby?” She questioned.

“Uh huh.” I nodded.

“Wow.” She smiled. “Me a big sister?”

“Yeah Julie. You’re a big sister.” I smiled. She hugged me tightly being careful of my stomach. She knew where she came from and that I had her instead of a woman. She couldn’t care any less to be honest.

“Dada Lou have baby.” She smiled again.

“Yeah sweetie. We’re having another baby.” He smiled back at her but didn’t look at me.

“We’ll leave you guys alone.” Liam smiled at me before he and the boys left. Juliet stayed cuddled with me until she fell asleep again. Things were silent until Louis spoke up.

“I don’t hate you Harry. I heard what you said to Liam.” He sighed.

“Then why haven’t you spoken to me for 2 weeks?” I asked quietly.

“I just needed some time ok. It’s hard to think that you thought I would actually be mad about this.”

“Well you said you didn’t want another baby and I just thought you would be mad. I just want us to be happy about this and be a family. A proper family, like we were when Juliet was first born.”

“I am happy Harry. I know I said another baby wouldn’t be great right now but the more I think about it the more excited I get. We made that baby and sure it might not be the best timing but it’s still ours. It deserves a chance, just like Julie did.” He smiled. That smile was amazing.

“You really mean that?”

“Of course. We’re going to have another baby.” He smiled wider. I got up carefully, trying not to wake Juliet. I went over and kissed him. It felt perfect to kiss him again after not for 2 weeks. He kissed back passionately making me smile.
