Tragedy to Love

You should know

“Oh.” Gemma looked around the room.

“Oh well congratulations?” Anne looked confused at first. “Wait I’m going to be a grandma?”

“Yes mum.” Harry nodded his head and smiled.

“Oh well I’m excited! If it’s what you guys want it’s what I want. I support you two! So are you going to find out what it is?” She asked eagerly.

“Yes. No.” Harry and I said at the same time. I looked at him confused. “No we aren’t going to find out what it is.” I smiled at Anne.

“Well I want to know.” Harry narrowed his eyes.

“But I don’t…”

“I do.”

“I don’t!”

“That’s enough you two. I’m with Rosie.” Anne placed her hand on my shoulder.

“Fine.” Harry huffed. “Come on let me show you the house.” Harry pulled my hand and brought me upstairs. “This is my room.” He opened the door revealing his perfectly neat room. He sat down on the bed as I looked at all the pictures and books.

“Nice room.” I turned to look at him and he had laid down on his side with his head propped up by his elbow. I went over and laid next to him looking up.

“So there’s a little person in there?” He asked poking my stomach.

“Yes Harry.” I giggled as he continued poking my stomach.

“It must be a happy baby.”

“Why?”

“Because it gets to spend nine months with you and not have to leave at all.” I looked up at him an smiled grabbing the back of his neck and pulling him down for a kiss.

“I hope it’s a girl.” I whispered softly.

“Me too.” He smiled at me with that breath taking smile.  “We should get going it’s getting late.” Harry stood up and stretched his hand out and I gladly took it.

“Well mum I think we are going to get going. We will be back I assure you.” His mum came up and gave us both hugs goodbye’s.

“You two be good! If you need anything at all just give me a call!” She waved at us as we walked down the drive way waving goodbye. I hopped in the car buckling my seat belt.

“Your mum is so nice!” I squealed as Harry backed out of the driveway.

“Yeah she’s the best mum. I can’t wait to meet you parents.” He started driving down the street and I felt my heart drop. “Rosie are you okay? You look sick.” He looked at me from the corner of his eye.

“I’m fine. I promise.” I choked out staring out the window.

“Okay… so tell me about your parents.”

“Well my mum was amazing…. She was so sweet and we were always close. Always. My dad and I were to… I was definitely a daddy’s girl.” I giggled. I saw Harry smile. “We were always a close family no matter what. We always stuck together. My dad was very protective as were my mum was a little on the loose side… but that’s what made things interesting.” I smiled to myself remembering all the family trips. “I miss them so much.” I felt a tear roll down my cheek.

“You miss them? Perfect let’s go visit them!” Harry smiled. “Is it too late do you think?”

“Not at all. Here I will give you the directions. It’s quite a bit away.” I wasn’t sure what I was doing but it I needed to tell him.

Sam’s P.O.V.

“Niall please!” I begged him practically on my hands and knees.

“Fine…” He gave in. He handed me the movie and I put it in the DVD player. I bopped over to the couch snuggling up beside him.

“Thank you.” I looked up and smiled at him. Somehow I had convinced him to watch Cinderella my all-time favorite movie with me.

“Shhh I love this part.” I watched the screen intensely as Cinderella found the prince.

“I wasn’t even talking.” He said under his breath rolling his eyes.

“The End!” I clapped my hands and looked over at Niall.

“Okay my turn.” He smirked at me and got up playing another movie. “Ever seen Haunting in Connecticut?” He asked sitting back down.

“No…”

“Well you have now.”

“No way Niall I hate scary movies!” I whined.

“Too bad babe. I had to watch Cinderella.”

“I need a beer.” I got up off the couch and looked in the fridge for something to drink.

“There is none! Had the last bottle earlier!” Niall called from the living room. I huffed and slammed the door shut walking back in.

“I could kill you right now.”

“But you won’t.” He winked at me and turned his attention back to the screen.

“Screw you.” I giggled as I buried my face in Niall’s neck as the movie started.

Rosie’s P.O.V.

“Okay turn left here.” We were now on the street the cemetery was on. “You can park here.” He looked at me confused as I got out. “So which one do your parents live in?” He asked joining me on the sidewalk.  On one side was houses and the other was a cemetery. I stuck my hands in my pockets and began to walk across the street.

“Rosie where are you going?” Harry called from behind me. I kept on walking as I heard his footsteps on the pavement beside me. I walked past the gate and further into the tombstone covered field. “Rosie what are you doing?” I walked further and counted the tombstones trying to find my mum and dad’s in the dark. I saw it. The last time I came I had put an electrical candle in between them so I could find it. I walked up to and stared the the plaques. Harry joined my side and looked down.

“Hi mum. Hi dad. This is Harry, my boyfriend. You would’ve loved him. He is so sweet. Oh and by the way you are going to be grandparents soon. I hope you’re happy up there because I miss you like crazy down here.” I kneeled down running my fingers along the engraved writing as tears fell onto my cold hand. “I promise I will take care of the baby, like you did me.”

“Rosie… I’m so sorry…” Harry whispered his voice shaky.

“So am I.”
