Paparazzi problems

We have been driving for about ten minutes since we left the photo shoot and nerves have hit me like a brick in the face.
My hands are sweating I'm shaking my legs and Harry can clearly see what a nervous wreck I am being.

"Tana calm down stop getting yourself so worked up." He places his hand on my leg but keeps his eyes on the road and his touch calms me in an instant.

"I'm sorry I don't know what's wrong with me" I sigh and go to touch my face but then I realise I have perfect make up on which I'd rather not smudge.

"We are a couple minutes away we can be in and out if you want?"
"No it's fine we can sit inside they won't follow us in will they?" I ask.
"No they won't it's not allowed." Hearing that makes me relax even more.

The car turned a corner and straight away I saw the buzz of about 20 people with cameras waiting all along the street.
I thought I was just scared but suddenly I felt a shoot of pain like a cramp but worse all through my stomach.

"Oh my god" I gasp and grab my stomach in pain.
"What what is it?" And he turns to me directly and my eyes are swelling up with tears because of the pain.
I say silent for a few second with Harry bugging me to tell him what's happening. After waiting and staying deadly still, scared to move, in case it hurts again, I speak.
"I- I don't know it's stopped now I just had a little pain that's all." I wipe my eyes and stop any tears that were about to escape.
"Is everything okay do you want me to call the doctor?"
"No, no I'm fine honestly I don't know what that was but I'm okay now" I force a smile out and he nods and kisses my forehead.
Of course I was panicking but I'm sure everyone gets it right?

We pull up across the road from a Starbucks and the people with cameras start running up immediately. Luckily the street wasn't too busy with cars so they weren't holding any traffic up.
Harry had blacked out windows so they can't actually see me yet which is good because I can compose myself before stepping out there.

"You stay here I'll come round and help you okay"
"Okay" I nod and look at the sea of heads and cameras.
When he opens the door I hear shouts and scream for Harry but he shuts it instantly so I'm back in quiet and I watch as he makes his way round, his security clearing him a path.

Harry opens my door and offers his hand out to me smiling. I take it and lift myself out the car which was a bit of a struggle. Security are all around me like a wall and random hands are reaching out trying to touch me and my bump from all directions.
Harry slips his hand into mine as we make our way through the crowds and I cling onto him for dear life. I smile for a few photos on the way past and ignore all questions being thrown at me as I've previously been told to stay silent.

"When is the due date for your baby?"
"Are you both in a relationship?"
"Tana what has been like living with Harry Styles?"
"Where will you be giving birth?"
"Do you have a name picked yet?"
"Is it true you have had a secret wedding?"

I couldn't focus on anything I just let Harry pull me along and soon enough we were in the warmth and inside Starbucks.
I let out a sigh of relief and loosen my grasp on Harry's arm.
"Wow" is all I can say in that moment because I'm absolutely shocked.
"I didn't think there would be that many I'm so sorry" he says but I shake my head.
"No don't be it's fine I'm okay it's just shocking. Why are they so interested in our lives?" I ask and walk over to a clean table and take a seat away from the windows.
"I don't know that's just how this whole thing works I'm afraid, if I could stop all of that side of things I would."

I had ordered a hot chocolate with cream, basic I know, i wasn't really feeling anything else so I just chose that. Harry got a black coffee and we sat and laughed along with each other for a good 20 minutes ignoring all the chaos going on outside.
