Olivia's fingers brushed over Harry's bare skin, watching her long nails trace the black bird tattoo just under his collar bone. Eyes still closed, Harry was basking in the pleasant feeling of being awake, but still in a sleepy bliss. He was enjoying the feeling of the love of his life next to him, just about to finally open his eyes when suddenly Olivia was scampering to her feet.

Harry sat up immediately, eyebrows furrowed as he watched her run to the bathroom, "Olivia?" he called.

The was no answer, just the sound of puking, and Harry quickly got up from the bed, rushing to the bathroom to collapse on the floor next to Olivia, rubbing her back and pulling her hair from her face while she barfed.

When she stopped puking and flushed the toilet, Harry grabbed her a cup of water before kneeling next to her again, "drink this love." he said, holding it out.

After a few moments Olivia wiped at her mouth and pulled away from the toilet to look at him, eyes half closed as she accepted the water.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, brushing hair from her face again, thumb stroking her cheekbone.

Olivia laughed a little, "like shit."

"Still as beautiful as ever pet." he assured her.

Harry continued to fuss over Olivia, and finally convinced her to have a shower. Once in the hot water, he washed her hair and made her giggle as he pressed wet, sloppy kisses all over her face. He was trying to make her feel better, but his mind was reeling, considering all the reasons she could be sick.

Part of him knew she could just have the stomach flu, but there was something else eating at the back of his brain as he washed the suds from his hair. "M' getting out, you wanna stay in a little longer?" he asked, earning a small nod from Olivia, who seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the hot water.

Stepping from the shower, Harry dried off and walked to the bedroom, finding his phone on the nightstand. He stared at Luke's contact for a second, and then pulled on sweats and a hoodie, escaping to the terrace so he could hit the call button.

Luke answered on the last ring, groaning, "what?"

"You still track Birdie's period right?"

There was a long pause, then "yeah."

Harry ran a hand through his wet curls, shaking them out, "Is she on her period right now?"

"You should know, aren't her and Olivia synched?" there was a pause, then, "oh."

Harry fidgeted with the gang ring on his finger, he didn't really know what to say, but the insinuation hung heavy in the air.

"So... do you need to go get pregnancy tests?" Luke asked finally.

Harry cleared his throat, sneaking a look back to his room. The door to the bathroom was half open, and he assumed Olivia was still in the shower. "Uh... no. thanks mate."

"Well... let me know if you need anything."

Harry chuckled, "thanks Luke."

There was a pause, then, "Don't mention it."

Harry hung up, staying outside a little while longer to appreciate the warmth of the morning sun on his skin. He leaned against the terrace rail, looking down at the street below, lost in thought for a while before he heard the door behind him open. Arms wrapped around his waist and Olivia pressed her cheek against his back, "hey."
