Insecure

He loved me so naughty made me weak in the knees*

Sara-

"Jesus mum, we've been here five minutes and you're already grilling her?" Harry chides as he enters the sitting room, he sits besides me and takes my hand before grabbing a cookie.

"Well I didn't get to meet who did that so.." Anne retorts motioning to Gemma's bump.

"I'm twenty six for fucks sake mum! I have a one night stand and boom, pregnant. Are you happy now?" Gemma snaps and Anne's eyes soften.

"You're still my baby Gemma Anne, you too Harry. I just want the best for you." Anne assures her as she reaches over and pats her knee, Gemma breaks down in tears and I'm left feeling bad for her.

"Fuck these hormones." Gemma huffs before patting away her tears. 

"So you're gonna erm... keep it?" Harry asks cautiously as Anne and Gemma look at him like he's grown a penis out of his head.

"How is that even a question Harry Edward Styles?" Anne snaps before wrapping her arms around Gemma, Harry squeezes my hand as I fight back tears.

Why wasn't my mother like this? If she had been I wouldn't of lost so much. My mom was there for me but not like this, this is what real family does.

"You still haven't answered my question, how did you two meet?" Anne says changing the subject and I let out a sigh of relief. 

"We met at a deli-" I start to say but Harry cuts me off.

"Actually, I was hired at her high school as her therapist." Harry says like it's normal as I look down in embarrassment. 

"High school? I thought you told me she was 19!" Anne says sharply and Harry sighs.

"She is, she was in an accident which set her a year back. Sara is incredibly smart so when she starts college she'll be halfway through her second year already." Harry boasts proudly and Anne relaxes. "Anyways, the moment I saw her I knew she was special. As I got to know Sara and she started opening up I realized how insecure with herself she was and to fault of her own, she had been abused by her boyfriend who went on to marry her older sister and continue the abuse. One day I just said fuck it and I kissed her not knowing how she felt about me. Then the next day she shows up to Liam's with his little brother-"

"And he rescued me from what would of been the worse night ever." I interrupt as I nudge Harry's shoulder affectionately.

"Liam's little brother? The one that slept with Lotti-"

"That girl's name is NOT to be spoken in this house." Anne snaps interrupting Gemma. "She used Harry and betrayed us, she's a disgrace to the memory of her mother and I hope her brother feels the same way." Anne rants on and Harry huffs.

"Changing the subject, Gemma I can't wait to be an uncle!" Harry chirps and Gemma chuckles. 

"Ed said he'd be coming by to see you, I think he has a few surprises for you as well." Gemma says as the doorbell rings. Harry suspiciously eyes Gemma as she gets up and answers the door.

"Who's Ed?" I ask curiously.

"He was one of my best friends growing up, Louis comes and sees him a lot." Harry informs me as a redheaded shorter man follows Gemma into the room, he's holding a small baby while Gemma is holding hands with what looks like a three year old.

"Holy shit, no fucking way." Harry mutters.

"Language Harry!" Anne scolds and I chuckle as Harry gets up from the couch.
