Something Infinite

Chapter 75

Jen's POV

"He's a f*cking idiot!" Were the four words which would pull me from my slumber. Gemma's screeching voice, echoed from above my room. Followed by more muffled screams from Angus, telling her to calm down.

I looked to my bedside clock, throwing the sheets off myself when I realised it was now 5pm. I'd managed to sleep the entire day away, without being interrupted once. Not only was I physically tired, but the whole Harry ordeal had me emotional exhausted too. I'd hoped when I woke up it would have been a dream, but everything came flooding back to me, replaying over like a horror movie.

I wondered if he had done something else to make Gemma so verbally angry. It was only 8am over there, what could he have possibly done in the time I fell asleep, to now. I knew he wasn't filming today, so he was probably asleep too. He usually didn't wake until 10 on his days off.

My phone was off, so he had no way of contacting me directly. I didn't want to talk to him while I was upset. I wanted to let everything settle before I said anything. I taught myself to no longer make decisions or speak while I was angry. It only lead to regrets and more arguments. So I left it until I processed what was happening.

"Jen, are you awake?" Gemma knocked on my door, sounding more calm than a second ago.

"Yeah, come in," I welcomed her, as I fixed my bed sheets up again.

"How are you feeling? I didn't wake you did I?" She walked in, taking a seat on the end of my bed.

"I heard you yelling, but I should have been up anyway. Has Mia been okay? I'm sorry I fell asleep for so long, she's not your responsibility," I shook my head, feeling remorseful.

"She's our niece, and our goddaughter, of course she's our responsibility. You wouldn't have been home until now anyway. We just went about our day as normal. We actually found out the sex of the baby today," she smiled, rubbing her stomach.

I had helped Angus and Gemma set up their appointments with my obstetrician, Nate, and I completely forgot that today was one of her ultrasound days.

"Oh my gosh, you should have woken me, I would have taken Mia. I feel awful, that's such a special moment for you two," I felt guilty.

"Jen, it's okay. Nate loved seeing her, he said she looks perfectly healthy if that makes you feel better," she giggled at my frantic state.

"I've got to book her in for her immunisations soon. Things have just been so chaotic lately, I feel like I'm losing my mind. But anyway, are you doing some kind of gender reveal party, or can I know now if I'm having a little niece or nephew?" I rubbed her perfectly round stomach. She was getting bigger, which made me wish to have another baby.

"No parties, we haven't even told everyone I'm pregnant yet. We're having a boy. Angus is thrilled. I'm terrified," she chuckled.

"Aw, why are you terrified? He's going to Mia's best friend. Between him, Angus and Harry, I think she'll be well protected."

"Because I don't want to live in a house full of boys. They're going to drive me mad!"

"They'll protect you too. Boys have a protective instinct. I'm so happy for you two," I hugged her, genuinely happy they were finally getting their happily ever after story.
