A/N: Eight chapters until 100 (yes I was serious about this countdown)!!

Also, this is a 5000+ word chapter!! 2000+ of it being literally just smut. xD

Have fun :P

Piper started to get hungry after staying in the pool with Harry for about an hour. So, Harry ordered three different flavours of complimentary pizza for the five of us to share. He also let Gemma and Anne order a drink each – which they were now leisurely sipping as they lounged on their recliner chairs. For Piper, Harry also asked for a glass of fruit juice.

Harry finally twisted my arm and got me to hop into the pool – even though I felt so embarrassed to be wearing a bikini with a 6-month-old baby belly. But Harry reminded me that there was literally nobody else at the pool except the five of us – so that did make me a bit more comfortable with it.

So, while Piper spent some time eating pizza with Anne and Gemma, Harry & I sat in the pool together. And it felt good – not just because I was with Harry, but it felt good for my bump, too. The water was providing extra support for my bump and made it feel like a much lighter load to carry – which I was beyond relieved about.

"Mm...these feels really nice, actually..." I told Harry as I rested my head on his shoulder, "thanks for convincing me to get over myself and just get into the pool," I giggled.

Harry chuckled and kissed my head. "I don't even know why you were so hesitant in the first place," he then lowered his voice, "that bikini looks fucking hot on you."

"Shush!" I nudged his ribcage which made him laugh, "Behave! We're not exactly alone here."

"Hey, I'm just telling the truth," Harry smiled at me and draped his arm around my shoulders, "fine. I'll be tamer about it. It looks beautiful. There, is that better?"

I smiled back at him. "I suppose so, but that doesn't mean I believe you. I literally only sucked it up because, like you said, there's no-one else here to see me like this but us five."

Harry rolled his eyes. "You know, one of the hundreds of reasons why I can't wait for that baby to come out is so you'll finally start believing me again when I say you're beautiful."

I laughed. "That's right. The bigger I get, the uglier I'll feel until she comes out."

Harry groaned. "I give up. Let's just agree to disagree on this until the baby's born, yeah?"

I chuckled. "Sounds good to me."

Harry smiled at me. "You at least still believe me whenever I tell you that I love you though, right?"

I smiled back. "Yeah. That, I still believe."

"Good. That's the most important thing," he sweetly kissed my lips, "I love you, and I love what you did for that girl today."

"Jessica?" My smile grew, "Oh...it was nothing, really."

"No," he said, "things like that are never 'nothing'. These days, not many people would do what you did for her."

"Well, I mean...I just knew what she was going through," I shrugged, "it felt right to say something."

"And it was right," Harry said warmly, "darling, I'm so proud of you."

I lowered my eyes and blushed softly. "Thanks, Harry," I then looked up at him, "what kind of tickets are you gonna get her?"

"Oh, the best I can get. For what she's going through, she deserves a backstage pass, at least."
