I sigh and think about what to say. Hey Harry I'm pregnant with your child but we are over so you can't see it. I look down at the test results from the hospital. My parents know, my father went back to Venice and I told my mother who doesn't care. I'm currently in Ella's house cause I don't want to disturb Harry's aunt. Ella is such a nice person she has helped me throughout this month. Not only with me being pregnant one month already but with a place to stay. My phone rings once again, Harry's name lighting up on my screen.

"You should tell him already." Ella says.

I nod and answer for the first time in almost two months.

"Hello?" I ask.

"Beth?" His voice rings through my ears making my heart pound.

"I miss you." He says.

"I miss you too."

"Can we be back together? Please." He begs.

"We have to talk first." I say with a sigh.

"Okay, where do you wanna meet?"

"Starbucks?"

"Okay."

"Okay." I say before hanging up.

I grab a sweater to cover my barely noticeable bump. Thankfully I managed to finish school from home. I graduated early and a few weeks later Avery graduated normally like everyone else. She doesn't know why I left school though. I grab my phone and head for the door.

"Beth?" He says smiling.

"Harry." I say returning the smile.

We hug and he smiles.

"I've missed you so much I'm so sorry." He says.

"It's okay, Ella explained everything. It's something else we have to talk about."

"What is it?" He asks as we take a seat.

"I.."

"Beth." He says, concern in his eyes.

"Harry I'm pregnant." I say and bury my face in my arms.

"What?!" He says shocked.

"You already moved on?"

"No!" I say jolting up.

"It's yours I haven't been with anyone else."

"Oh."

"That's why I guess we can't be together." I say and look down.

"What? No! I'm happy really, it's just that it was unexpected.." He says trailing off.

"Duh." I say rolling my eyes.

"I missed you." He says and kisses my cheek.

"So, you want to be back together? Even though, we have.. this?" I ask pointing down at my covered stomach.

"Yea I don't mind really. We were getting married anyways so we are just having kids early that's all." He says with a shrug.

"So you never took it off?" He says with a smirk as he looks down at the engagement ring on my finger.

"Nah, I didn't mean it about not loving you or us being over. I just needed time to think." I say looking up at his beautiful eyes.

"I know." He says as I scoot closer to him and bury myself into his chest.

Thank goodness Starbucks is empty since it's very early.

"So, how far along are you? I'm sorry for not being there for you." He says sadly.

"Hey, it's okay." I say as I kiss him softly.

He smiles and wraps his arms around me.

"I'm one month along." I say as I unzip my jacket.

"Do you know the gender?"

"Harry is until five months haven't you learned that already?"

"I failed that class."

I roll my eyes and giggle. I missed this, being with him. I'm glad he's happy about the baby.

"You'll make a great mom." He says as he plays with my hair.

"You'll make a great dad." I say smiling.

Bethany and Harry told the news to their friends and family. Thankfully everyone was happy. Bethany's parents didn't really care about her making Harry angry and Bethany sad. Harry bought a big apartment for the two to live in. Bethany was already six months along, the baby gender was a girl. Anne came to visit them frequently.

{NOTE: This is a short chapter since we are gonna jump a lot and skip months/years. This book is soon coming to an end. :( I hope you all are enjoying it so far!}
