One Time Only

Chapter 21

After taking Harry's things over to his and Louis' condo and properly meeting his family, Andi let everyone know she was going back over to stay with Jerica. What she didn't tell them is how sick she is at the moment. As Andi is reentering Jerica's condo, she hears her throwing up again. Walking into the bathroom she kneels down beside her friend.
"I've seen enough, Jeri I'm taking you to see Karen. She should be able to tell us what's wrong with you." Andi says as she leads Jerica the her room to help her get dressed.

Jerica just nods, to tired to fight. "It's probably just food poisoning or something." She whispers as she let's Andi walk her out of her condo and to the elevator. When they get to Karen's they just walk in like always. "Karen, we need your advice." Andi calls out.

Karen walks out of her kitchen with a towel over her shoulder. "Well hello my dears." She smiles as she hugs them both. "What can I help you with?"

"Jeri. She's been throwing up since last night, no fever." Andi says. "You think you can tell us what's wrong with her?"

"Hmm, I'm sure I can. Follow me." Karen says as she walks down the hallway to her in-house doctor's office. "Okay hun, jump up on that table there so I can check you out." Twenty minutes later Karen tells both girls what she's found.

"Karen, you can't be right. There's no way I'm pregnant, I can't be." Jerica says as tears form in her eyes.

Karen places her hand on Jerica's cheek. "Hun, I know this may not have been the news you were expecting. But believe me, you are pregnant." She says. "I'm assuming by your reaction you and the father are no longer together." Jerica just shakes her head as Andi tells Karen what happened just hours before. "Oh, hun I'm so sorry. You can stay here if you want. You did buy this place, you're more than welcome here."

"If you're sure you don't mind, I think I'll do that." Jerica says. "That way Andi can visit with Louis' family without having to worry to much about me being across the hall alone. I have clothes here already, so I don't have to go home to pack."

Andi nods, agreeing with her friend. "Jeri what do you want me to tell the others when they ask? You know at least Louis will."

"Tell them whatever you want. I don't care. Just don't tell them where I am or about the baby." Jerica says. "If Harry couldn't trust me in knowing who his mom is, I doubt he'll be able to trust I'd be able to raise his kid properly."

Andi hugs Jerica. "I think you're wrong Jeri, but I won't say anything. I'll call you later." She says as she walks toward the door.

Jerica nods. "I think I'm going to go lay down for a while." She says as he heads toward the stairs.

Andi walks into Louis' place without knocking, hell she practically lived there, has a key, but upon entering she stops. When she sees everyone staring at Harry, all dressed up in nice clothes, she raises one eyebrow and asks the question on everyone's mind.
"Going somewhere?" She asks as she shut the door and leans against it.

"Out." Harry snaps. "If Jeri is going be a bitch, then I guess there's no point in me sitting around waiting for her to talk to me. I'm going to one of the clubs here in town to see if I can find a woman who'll appreciate me for me, not who gave birth to me."

As soon as those words leave Harry's mouth, Andi is seeing red. Pushing off the door she stomps up to stand in front of him. "You bastard." She snaps as she slaps Harry, tears streaming down her cheeks she's so pissed. "Jeri isn't even home you ass, I had to rush her to see a doctor. While you're over here getting all dolled up to go find some slut to fuck, she's been over there puking her guts up. We're just lucky enough she happens to know a doctor well enough to be able to just walk in and she'll see her without an appointment and let her stay with her." Andi yells. "So go, go out and find your next girl to play with. I'm so glad we found out who the real Harry Styles is before Jeri married you and you fucking cheated on her and left her alone with a kid to raise." Andi screams, not realizing what she's saying. She then turns and slams back out of the condo and goes over to Jeri's.

Harry just shrugs, then heads toward the door, until he hears Louis' sister Lottie say. "Did Andi just say Jerica is pregnant, or did I mishear that part about raising a kid on her own?"

"No Lottie, I believe that's what she said." Jay says. "It just seems like Louis was right, Harry really doesn't care, which truly surprises me."

Harry turns and looks at everyone in the room. Seeing the way they were all looking back at him, except the younger twin, pisses him off. He hates being judged, and that's what it seemes like they were all doing.

"Don't do it son." Anne says. "No one here is judging you. Comments were made, observation made you obviously missed. Now I don't know if you're planning on continuing on with what you had previously planned, or if you're going to try and fix things with Jeri. But if you are still going out to the clubs, don't expect me to be here when you get back." Anne snaps as she stands up. Then what comes out of her mouth truly shocks not only Harry but everyone else in the room. "And I hope to hell, Jeri keeps that child from ever knowing who you are. You, my son, are in no way father material." Anne cries as she turns and walk out of the room.
