Eating for two - a harry styles fanfiction

12.

Emma's point of view, next day , 4 PM

I sat down on the park bench, waiting for Jeremy to come. After Tom was talking about the Cooper's yesterday, it made me realize it's been months since Jeremy and I hung out. Last time I saw him was when Ava was about a week old.

Ava was lying in the stroller, sound asleep.

A couple minutes later, Jeremy appraoched us. He sat down next to me and gave me a side hug.

"How you been?" He asked.

"I've been better, to be honest. Everything has just been a constant stress since Harry was brought into Ava's life, you know." I explained and he nodded. "How come you never told me about the letters?"

"Your parents didn't want you to know about them. They actually wanted it to be a happy surprise for when you and Tom got older, but I'm guessing it wasn't all happy, was it?"

"It was emotional. I just kept thinking about how there would be so many more letters if they hadn't passed." I said as I picked up Ava from the stroller and put her in my lap.

"She's grown a lot." Jeremy said, smiling at the baby girl. "She resembles both you and Harry a lot."

"I know." I said looking at her closed eyes.

"Why the blonde hair though?" He asked.

"Harry's hair was blonde when he was younger. When he was 2, it started getting darker and darker. I wouldn't be suprised if hers does too. But she also might have gotten the blonde from my side of the family too. My mom was blonde, you know." I said and he nodded.

We spent a few hours just sitting at the park and talking. It had been too long since we just sat down and had one of those deep conversations about basically anything.

Sadly, Jeremy had to leave so he would make it on time to his shift at work, so I headed back home.

First thing I did was to feed Ava. I warmed up her bottle and then sat down by the kitchen table, feeding her the bottle.

When she was finished drinking, Tom offered to watch her while I got myself something to eat. I warmed up some leftovers from yesterday's dinner, as Tom went out to dinner with some friends earlier today meaning he didn't cook anything.

When the food was warm, I sat down and began eating. While eating, I was scrolling through Instagram and liking my friends' posts.

I saw all my friends posting pictures of them being out partying, and I couldn't help but feel jealous. I used to be able to go out whenever I wanted as well, but not after having Ava.

Don't get me wrong, I love being a mom. Ava is the best thing that ever happened to me. But, a part of me still wish I still had the same opportunities as my friends. And less drama.

Having Ava just meant more drama with Harry. I was starting to regret that I didn't tell him about the pregnancy the same night. If I had told him, I wouldn't be in this situation. I wouldn't be a single mom living in her brother's house.

But unfortuanetely, the past can't be changed. I'm just happy Ava is healthy and is living in a safe environment, where she has people who love her and care for her.

I finished up my dinner and put the bowl in the dishwasher. Then I headed into the living room, where Ava had fallen asleep on Tom's, who was also asleep, chest.

I snapped a picture of them before picking up Ava and carrrying her upstairs to our bedroom. I lied her down in her crib before I sat down on my bed and watched netflix on my laptop. It was only 8 yet, but I was already so tired from today. I didn't do anything that would make me tired, but I've just been generally tired lately.

By 9:30 PM, I had closed my laptop and I was under the covers. I scrolled on my phone for about 20 minutes before I lied down to sleep. Sometime during the next 30 minutes, I fell asleep.

------------

At 2 AM, I was brutally woken up by my phone going off. I let out a groan as I reached out for the phone to see who was calling me this late. I grabbed the phone and then closed my eyes because of the bright light.

When my eyes adjusted to the light, I could finally see who was calling me.

Harry.
