For Your Eyes Only

Chapter 20

Harry POV
    I've died and obviously gone to hell. They're demons dancing around on top of my head because I am in hell. I take a deep breath and open my eyes and see that I am in fact alive and drastically hung over. I don't remember drinking that much but with the way I feel I could have drank the bar dry and it's probably best I don't remember. I turn over to look at Parker and Louis is in the bed beside me. Fuck what did I drink last night?
    I get out of bed as carefully as I can more for my benefit than Louis' and head straight to the shower. I brush my teeth twice to get the horrid taste out of my mouth. After my shower and some aspirin I feel relatively normal but I still have no clue what happened last night.
     I go back into my room to find some clothes and Louis is up. I lean on my dresser still in just a towel and say "Do I have some explaining to do this morning, or do you?"
     He looks at me with his cheeky grin that I love so much and says "I'd love to hear your explanation of last night."
     I shrug my shoulders and reply "Fuck if I know. Did I do something embarrassing? Did anyone get anything on video?"
    Louis laughs at this and tells me "You got pissed off one pint because it didn't mix with your pain meds. Stupid mistake by the way! Liam and Niall brought you home. You threw up on the living room floor and I brought you to bed. I was worried about you so I stayed."
     I take it all in glad that they're wouldn't be more Harry Vomit for sale on the internet. God Parker was right my name does make every thing sound worse. I would laugh if my head didn't hurt so damn bad.
    I look at Louis and ask "But how did you get here? I mean did you meet us at the pub?"
     Louis bows his head a little before he say "No Parker invited me over. She got bored and didn't want to be alone. We were having a nice chat before you came in and ruined it, actually."
     "Ok" I say. "I must still be pissed because I thought you just said Parker invited you over and you were having a good time. How did she know to call you? Where were you?" I'm so confused right now and I feel sick on top of everything that already hurts. I'm not in the mood for whatever game Louis is playing.
      Louis sighs heavily and says "I'm staying at a house down the road. When I decided I wasn't going to stay here I got it. I wanted to be close by in case you needed me. Niall new where I was and since he can't keep a secret to save his life he told Parker where I was. She came to see me yesterday and yell at me for the way I've been acting. When she called last night and when we were talking she helped me see things more clearly."
      "Ugh. I'm too hung over for this" I say. "I'm going to find some breakfast."
      I get to the kitchen and Parker is there already cooking. The smell of bacon turns my stomach. If there was anything left in it, it wouldn't stay there for long.
   She looks at me with one raised eye brow "So did you have fun last night?"
    I had walked down here determined to be mad at her for not telling me about Louis, but
I guess I never really gave her a chance.
    I give her my best go to hell look but I must have failed because all she does is laugh. I'm about to start looking for something to eat when she hands me some dry toast. I take it with appreciation.
    After the first piece is down and I'm confident it will stay I ask "So you and Louis are friends now?" I bite into my next piece of toast while I wait for her answer.
     "Oh don't worry your still my number one, but yeah we've talked a little. I don't think we'll be doing each other's hair talking over our times with you any time soon but we're cool." she says all of this with a straight face and I'm once again completely amazed by her. I mean who says shit like this and gets away with it. The mental picture alone is enough to make me laugh out loud.
       Louis walks into the kitchen and I know things are about to get weird. He goes straight for the teapot Parker already has on says "What's so funny?"
     I almost say nothing but Parker beats me to it by saying "Oh you know, Harry was just thinking of us trading sex stories about him. Sounds really selfish to me don't you think."
     Louis doesn't  miss a beat when he replies "Oh love, we could be here for weeks critiquing and categorizing all the stuff this man does. I really don't think I have the time."
     I bury my head underneath my arms and die just a little. They have obviously planned this. They have joined forces to finish what the bullets could not. I look back up and they are both laughing at me. I cover my face and say "I hate the both of you."
     Niall and Liam both walk in at this moment and ask what we are talking about. Louis starts off with a "Well" and I head outside.
     It's a nice morning the sun is out and there is a nice breeze. I take as deep a breath as I can and it feels good. It still hurts but its like stretching sore muscles, it hurts but you know one day it won't.
    I figure they've had time to tell their story and have a good laugh so I might as well go back in. As I head towards the door it opens and Louis walks out. His face is flushed from all the laughing at my expense, but hell if laughing at me makes him look this good I'll start a comedy act. I want to kiss him so bad I have to bite my lip a little.
     He gets a serious look on his face for a second before he begins talking. "So I was thinking you all clearly need someone around here who can be responsible. Feel like I really need to stay and look after things. Would that be ok with you?"
    Yes yes yes yes! My brain won't stop screaming but I reply "It's fine with me." I would say I was cool about it  but I know that would be a lie.
Parker POV
     Louis has been here almost a week and I now see why they talked about how messy he always was on the tour bus. There are shoes and socks all over the place. Louis has a room here but I don't think he's actually stayed in it. I start gathering up all his stuff and throwing it in his room. There are shirts that I know are Harry's but just for the hell of it I throw them in Louis floor too. I walk down the hall yelling "Louis Tomlinson if I have to pick up one more piece of clothing of yours so that I don't trip and fall to my death I'm setting it all on fire! Do you hear me?" I find all the boys in the audio room playing video games and they all are looking at me as if I may actually have a blow torch in my hand.
      Niall looks at me and says "Um Parker is it that time of month darlin?" Harry, Louis and Liam all hit him in the head at the same time and Harry says "You can't just ask a girl that."
    Niall looks at me ready to apologize and I feel like I'm going to pass out. I walk away and head straight to my room. I sit on the bed and try to think back over the past few weeks. When was my last period? Why haven't I kept up with it better? I go all the way back to the first time Harry and I had sex. I know I had one period in LA but I don't remember any since then. That was over two months ago! I feel like I'm going to be sick. Maybe I'm just just sick. Maybe it's all the stress I've been under and moving across the world may have something to do with it. Oh my goodness I can not be pregnant.
     I'm sitting in the middle of my bed when Harry walks in. I can tell he thinks Niall's comment upset me for an entirely different reason than it actually has. He's trying to be all serious and sensitive about it because Lord
forbid a man have to talk about a period and not make it a big deal. He looks at me and says "I'm sorry Niall is such an idiot. He wanted to come in here himself but I was afraid he'd say something else stupid."
      Before I can stop myself I say "I'm pregnant. I think I might be pregnant."
      I was not ready for the look of absolute joy and happiness that broke out on Harry's face. We had talked about me not having sex with Jaime while I was home so he automatically knew that if I was pregnant he's the father.
    He stands up paces a big circle around the room then comes back and sits beside me. "Are you sure?"is all he ask.
     I shrug as I reply "It's definitely a possibility but I won't know for sure till I take a test."
      Harry grabs for his phone and sends a text. It seems like a weird thing to do at the moment until he says "Dan is going to get a test. What kind should he get?"
    I get off the bed and say "Fuck I don't know. I've never had to do this before." I really feel like I'm going to be sick. I can't have a baby! I live over a diner and I'm not even sure I'll have a job when I get home. I don't want to be another dead beat parent leaving Mama Rose to raise another baby. How am I going to face her when I go home? I'm so caught up in my thoughts that I don't realize I'm crying.
    Harry comes over to me and puts his arms around me. We stand there and he rubs my back and shoulders until I calm down. We sit back on the bed and he says "I know that it is completely your decision as to whether or not you want to have a baby or not. I want you to know I will support you in whatever decision you make."
     I can tell how much it kills him to think that I may not want this baby. In that instant I know that if there is a baby I definitely want it. I wanted it from the second I thought about it. There was never a question of wanting the baby. It's just a lot to take in.
     I put my hand on Harry's face and say "If there is a baby I most definitely want it. I'm just scared."
    He smiles at me again grabs me close and hugs me so tight I think our skin may fuse together. His phone buzzes and he tells me that Dan is back with the test. He runs down the stairs and comes back with a bag full of test. Apparently Dan the guard didn't know which one to get so he got one of each. I take them all just for good measure and within ten minutes Harry and I know we are absolutely having a baby.
    Harry hugs me again and ask "Do you want to wait to tell everyone?"
     I shake my head and say "No we can tell everyone. They will know soon enough I guess." It's not the enthusiastic response he was hoping for but he's not the one growing a person inside of them so he can like what he gets.
      We walk into the kitchen and all the boys are there. Niall looks like he's afraid someone may hit him again. Louis looks like he's ready to hit Niall if he makes another mistake, and Liam looks like he wants to crawl under the table and hide. 
     I look at Harry and say "Well go on. I know you're about to bust."
    Harry looks for a second and then screams "She's pregnant! We're having a baby!" The look on his face is priceless. His joy is so infectious that I feel myself start to get excited as well even though fear of all the unknowns is definitely taking center stage still.
     Liam and Niall jump up and hug Harry and I can't help but laugh. I look at Louis and the look on his face breaks my heart. He walks outside quietly and I can only imagine what this news means to him.
Harry POV
      After Niall and Liam hug me I look around for Louis. I know he was here a second ago. I see Parker and she points outside. I walk outside and see Louis sitting beside the pool.
     "Are you going to marry her?" is all he says.
   Is it weird that thought hasn't even occurred to me yet. I'm over the moon about the baby and I know Parker and I will be the best parents we can but will that require us to be married.
    "I don't know. We haven't talked about it. We only just found out about 30 minutes ago. I guess we have a lot to talk about." I say.
   "Yeah I'd say that's a fair statement". I can tell Louis is upset, but I don't really know what to say to make it any better.
   I hear the door open and Parker walks out. She sits down beside me and puts her feet in the water. She has always been good at knowing what's on my mind and knowing what to say. She looks into pool like it's a looking glass and says "I'm not marrying you. We can figure out a schedule around your touring but I think I want the baby raised where I grew up for the most part. Of course, we'll visit you and you'll have your alone time as well. If you two ever get your shit together I think my baby would be lucky to have you two as dads."
     I love this woman so much. She really is my best friend.
