Remember? A Harry Styles Story

Chapter 11

"Okay." Gemma sat down in front of the mirror. "Okay," Her fingers moved swiftly, cracking each of her knuckles. "Okay."

I smiled, giving her a little pat on her shoulder. "Everything will turn out alright, Gem. You've planned this whole thing." She turned around to look up at me. 

"How can you be so sure?" Her eyebrows knitted together, wrinkling her forehead. "What if this isn't right?"

I shrugged, "A wedding should be the happiest day of your life. You, Jack, and Phoenix are basically having a party. Forget about the stressfull things, all you have to do is walk down a long rug and kiss your husband. You love Jack with all your heart."

Gemma nodded, "Okay."

"Quit saying okay!" I laughed, bending down to hug her tight. 

The makeup and hair duo walked in, prepared to make Gemma into a gorgeous bride. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, probably having a million thoughts race through her head. 

"I'm going to find something to snack on." I said, quickly exiting the room. The past six weeks had been pure bliss. Not only for myself, but for the Styles family as well. It seemed as though Harry and I were on a roller coaster that was only headed up. 

He moved his things back in, we're sleeping in the same bed, life was back to normal. But then there was that one nagging feeling running rampant through my body that had me acting a bit strange. I couldn't tell Harry, especially with the wedding looming closer each day. 

I kept it to myself, knowing that I'd tell him soon enough. 

As I walked through the halls of the church, looking out at the people filling the pews, I felt happy. Happy enough that I could cry. Or maybe it was just my emotional state. I felt a hand slip around my waist. "Hello beautiful." Harry whispered, kissing my temple.

Blush set into my cheeks. "Hi. I was just coming to find you. We need to talk."

His green eyes squinted as his eyebrows furrowed. "About what?" 

I just nodded my head, "Follow me." I walked with him behind me, finding a bathroom. Harry and I stepped in, locking the dead bolt behind us. I walked through, peeking under the stalls.

"What's going on?" He asked, looking at me like I had a second head.

I sighed, my fingers fidgeting. "I have something that I really need to tell you. And it's something that we would have been completely ecstatic to have. But since the accident, this could just further complicate us and everything and all that we've built up."

Harry extended his hands to mine, "Are you --"

"HAWWY!" Little pounding fists interrupted us. "Hawwy, my mummy needs you!"

I rolled my eyes.

"Coming." He shouted. Slowly he walked to the door, he turned to me and gave me a small smile. "We'll talk later."

I nodded, watching as he opened the door. Phoenix smiled wide, "We match Un'ca Harry!" Harry smiled as he picked him up and walked away.

The start of the wedding was counting down fast. I tried to get my secret to Harry with no avail, and I wasn't sure if I could get that confidence back again.

Anne suddenly walked in, looking shocked that I was just standing against the wall. "Well hello! I thought you were with Gem?"

I shook my head, "I needed to find Harry." 

She slowly nodded her head, "Is everything alright, dear?" Her warm hand touched my arm and all hell broke loose. 

I shook my head once more, "No. No, no, no." I breathed, "Nothing's okay." I ran my hands through my hair, "I can't do this."

Anne looked scared, her eyes were full of worry. She wrapped her arms around me, "Yes, you can. You are a very strong woman. You put up with all of Harry's antics before and after the accident." She kissed my temple, "You were strong enough to stay around while Harry forgot his life." 

"Now why don't you tell me what's bothering you." She whispered.

Like a kick to the face, this flashback hit me hard.

"You want to?" He smiled, rubbing my nose. 

I snuggled further into his shirtless chest, "Someday." 

His chest vibrated as he lightly chuckled, "Someday could be years from now. I'm talking about within the next year, do you want to have a baby?"

"But we're not even married." I propped myself up on my elbows. "And-"

"Yet."

"What?"

Harry smirked, "We're not married yet."

I rolled my eyes. "I'd rather be married first and then have kids." 

He nodded, "I understand. I just think having a little buddy for Phoenix to run around with would be so fun. I want to be a daddy."

My head hit the pillow and I lay down next to Harry once more. "Someday." 

"Lia?" 

"What?" I snapped back, standing in Anne's arms.

She held me at arm's length, "What's bothering you?"

My mouth dried up and I suddenly lost the ability to speak. All the nerve endings in my body seemed to fire off at once and like a loaded gun, I shot out the two words I had been unable to tell Harry.

"I'm pregnant."
