Harry's Pov

November

"I just don't see why he wanted to bring a plus one." I voiced to Niall who was too busy packing our bag to care or even be listening for that matter.
"Is that something strange for him?" Niall asked going over the checklist he had made so that we wouldn't forget anything. He was so cute when he concentrated on something. I was in love.

"Yes it's strange. He never brings a plus one to anything, and now, when your family invites us over for a holiday meal he decides that he's bringing a plus one. And I don't mean to sound like a dick but he's hung up on my mom like he fucking owes her something. She is a fuck up, he's not." I ranted. Niall placed his hands on my shoulders and kissed me softly to calm me down.

Which worked, like always.

"Maybe it's not your mom. And trust me, my family isn't perfect." Niall said and it was then that I realized that his ex fiancé had slept with his brother and sister. That wasn't PR, which was gross to think about.

"If you can sit through a meal with your brother and sister after what he did then I can sit through a meal with my dad and his plus one." I said earning a pleased smile from Niall.
"Good boy." Niall said zipping up our overnight bag and grabbing his phone.
"I should be saying that to you." I said pouting like a five year old.

"Sorry daddy." Niall said, he wasn't sorry though. I laughed and kissed him softly as he tugged on a sweatshirt.
"Don't cover your bump." I whined over dramatically. Niall rolled his eyes and lifted his sweatshirt so I could see his little bump.
"Better?" Niall asked grinning. I nodded and wrapped my arms around him once again.

"So are we announcing the baby?" I asked. Niall shrugged and sat on my lap.
"It's up to you. I don't really care, my dad will be happy." Niall said smiling. I smiled too, anytime Niall smiled made me happy and smiley. 
"Ok I guess we will announce it then." I smiled placing a hand on his bump.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"He didn't." Gemma said as soon as my dad sat down at the table with none other than my mother, the bitch.

"He did." I said glaring at the way she clung to him as if she loved him. She was using him. And Gemma and I both knew it.

"Thank you for coming today everyone. Harry and I have an announcement." Niall said breaking up the awkward tension in the room.
"We're expecting." I said after a few moments once Niall gave me the go ahead. Everyone said a congratulations and shared with our excitement except my mother, who was glaring at the both of us. I didn't care though. She was a cold hearted bitch.

After we had ate dinner and cleaned the table we had dessert, apple pie, and we all talked casually. It wasn't bad until my mother couldn't stop staring at Niall and glaring.

"Is there something wrong?" Niall's dad, Bobby, asked. I mentally thanked him for saying that.
"I just can't believe you raised a son that could get knocked up like this." She said and instantly Niall's family was against her. I grabbed Niall's hand and took a deep breath.

Here we go again.

"I'm sorry?" Bobby said slowly.
"I just can't believe you didn't teach him how to use birth control, because I know Harry knows how to use a condom." She stated and maybe I wanted to slap her and scream but I kept calm.

"Niall knows perfectly well how to use birth control. I would prefer if you left him alone." Niall's brother said. I was glad that they weren't coming at me.

"And I would prefer if he aborted the baby, he's a freak for being able to get pregnant." And maybe I lost it when she said that.

"Shut up. You can't sit here and talk about him like that. He's not a freak, hell you're the one who isn't even welcome here. If it wasn't for dad being hung up on you you wouldn't even be here. Niall is not going to abort the baby because that baby is ours. Not yours, so stay out of this conversation. And for your information I was the one that forgot a condom." I said wrapping a possessive arm around Niall.

"I don't approve of this relationship." She stated. Niall's sister scoffed at that. I loved his family.
"Well from what I've heard Harry doesn't even approve of you being here. So leave my brother alone and eat your damn pie." She spoke.

"Actually just leave." Niall spoke calmly. He was so relaxed and here I was freaking out.
"I'm sorry?" She said. Niall rolled his eyes and cleared his throat.
"I said leave." He repeated, and I hated the look she gave him.

"Just because you're a freak who doesn't know how to use the pill doesn't mean you can tell me what to do." She replied and Niall's dad stood up and walked over to her, pulling her chair out and waiting.

"Leave my house right now or you'll be escorted out by the police. Des you can leave too seeing as you brought her." Bobby spoke calmly. My dad stood up and led my mother out but not before she threw ice cream at Niall. I ignored it and we all waited until she left.

At that point Niall was crying and had moved from his chair and into my lap.
"You're not a freak. You're the greatest thing ever created." I whispered over and over again into Niall's ear. He sniffled and Gemma wiped off the ice cream as we sat there with everyone minding their own business but still listening to us.
"I love you so much Niall. You're not a freak." I whispered.

Niall pulled back and looked at me and my heart broke when I saw his teary eyes that I could've prevented.
"I love you too daddy." Niall whispered so only I could hear him. I grinned and placed a hand on his back to soothe him.

I was happy and I didn't care if my mom was happy or not.

All that mattered was Niall.
