The Little Love

2. The Reveal

"Ugh, the wine tastes terrible. Who picked it?"

"You did." Harrison shoots you a weird look. He clearly remembers how big of a fuss you made when you guys picked out the wine. You wanted this very specific wine even though it was hard to ship it from Italy. And now you were saying that it tasted weird? Something definitely was not right.

You try to do damage control after you realize that you are only tipping him off. The last three days were hell, not only for the morning sickness, but also for the fact that you didn't have Harrison to comfort you. Tom and Bianca (your best friend) did their best, but you still wanted Haz to be there.

"Nope, something is off with the wine, I'll have a quick chat with the caterer. Be right back" you give him a quick peck on the lips before darting back towards the exit of the venue, snatching the best man on your way.

"What is wrong with you? This is my favorite suit?" Tom complains because you pulled onto his sleeves too hard. "I should to tell you, if this is another situation where you want me to stand guard at the restroom door while you get sick, then let me get Bianca, because I can't really listen to you get sick without getting sick myself." He looked pale.

"I'm not going to get sick." You roll your eyes. "I need you to distract Haz. I think he is onto me."

"Well, shouldn't you just tell him, I mean you are married now."

"What? You want me to tell him I'm pregnant in a room full of people? He is gonna get a heart attack. You really want me to tell my child the story of how i told his or her father that I am pregnant and killed him in a room full of people? Is that what you want for your god child Thomas?"

He sighed, exasperation clear in his face. "Fine. I'll distract him."

You guys get back to the reception. Tom goes on and drags Haz away to grab a drink with some other friends, and you let out a sigh of relief. It was only a couple of hours. After that you are going to tell him.

The wedding had gone smoothly. The reception was in full swing, people were having fun. But the only thing Harrison was thinking about is the fact that you were hiding something, something that even his best friend knew about. He saw you earlier leave the ball room with Tom, when you guys came back, you made a bee line for some of your college friends, without even looking at him, while Tom came over and asked him to grab a drink. He knew that Tom was not a good secret keeper. All he had to do was to break him.

Now that he was thinking about it, you have been acting weird the entire day. You hardly touched any of the food served, even though most of the items were your favourite. You said the wine was terrible, although you took so tiny a sip that he was sure you couldn't really taste it. And the fact that he couldn't really seem to get you alone. Even during your official first dance as a married couple you seemed distracted. At this point he was scared that maybe you really didn't want ot get married. So he did what he could do. He asked your best friend,

Bianca was caught off guard, but she tried not to let it show on her face, "I think you are over thinking it Harrison. You know your girlfriend, sorry, I should say wife," she winked at him, "You know she is a bit weird. It's nothing. Don't worry about it." She patted his shoulder. He thanked her for her assurance; sure that something was definitely wrong, because Bianca was not a good actor.

And now he was drinking with Tom, more like trying to get Tom drunk just so he could get it out his best friend what really was going on. After he was satisfied with the level of drunkenness tom had reached, he took him into the hotel room booked for you and him, and started asking questions.
