   It's been a week since Zayn moved in. It's been going good so far. I haven't had a problem with him...yet. Today we were planning for a field trip of elementary school kids coming. I had gotten Brighton out and put him in the outside arena. I was gonna use him to let the little ones experience a horse ride. I walked into the horse barn to grab the saddle and a blanket for him. Before I did, I walked over to Titan's stall to check on him. Ever since Aaliyah told me what was wrong, I was cautious and kept him inside since. I couldn't take that risk of him getting stuck and I was unaware because he's all the way in the back of the pasture.

    "Hey, you want Banchee in the outside pen right?" Zayn asked bringing in a bale of straw and setting it down. "Uh yeah and Bella." I replied picking up Brightons black western pleasure saddle and going to set it out by the arena. Banchee and Bella are my two alpine goats. Banchee is Bella's mom. Bella is her only baby left. I mean I have other alpine goats and different breeds, but they are my favorite. I go to check on Big Susie and the other cows and make sure they're fed. They're good for now. I check the time and its only 8:30am. They kids will be here by 9. I walk around to make sure everything looks okay before I finally head to take a shower.

     After my shower, I changed into an all black knitted sweater, blue jeans and knee high boots. I just put my hair in a ponytail. I haven't done my makeup in a while, and I wasn't going to. I made sure lights were off in the house before I walked outside. I checked the time and it was 8:50. The buses were pulling in. I called out to Zayn. "You ready?" I adked. He came out running his fingers the outside through his now gelled hair. We walked down towards the buses laughing at all the screaming kids.

     Today was the day. Today's the day I'm telling Harry I'm pregnant. I could feel my nerves literally shaking my body as time ticked and Harry left for work. I slowly cleaned up around the house before I decided to sit on the couch and contemplated what I was going to say. "Harry, darling, I'm pregnant. No.. ugh Harry babe, how would you feel about a little one prancing around the room?" I sighed and clicked on the television hoping for something to help me tell him.

    I could use a cliche way and make him baby foods like baby back ribs, baby corn, etc. But I wanted to tell him straight forward. I started practicing with myself again, "Harry, it's okay if you want to leave, I get it, it's too soon. But I'm...I'm pregnant" I said. I became shocked when I felt hands wrap around me "Why would I want to leave you? A baby sounds nice. A new chapter" his voice said filing my ears, "Harry, "I said shocked, "What are you doing here?" I asked. "Well I forgot my keys" he said holding them up "I've been listening to you for like ten minutes." He smiled. I just stood shocked looking at him.

     "It's okay, you would've had to tell me soon anyway, or our little tummy would've been growing and I would've thought you were adding an extra egg roll every night " he chuckled slightly. I ran my fingers through my loose curly hair. "But, But I wanted to tell you in romantic way" I stumbled. "Well the way you were practicing, it didn't sound like it" he hugged me "Alright I'm going to work. I'll be back and we can discuss this more"  he smiled before kissing me goodbye and walking out of the house shutting the door behind him. I sat down in calming motion and watched tv for the rest of the day.

    We were about almost done with the pony rides, then it would be a hay ride for the little ones. I had to admit it, Zayn looked pretty adorable with the little kids. I feel like he'd be a good father one day. I also had to admit that ever since he'd moved in, I've caught some sort of feelings for him. I can't explain them. I walk to make sure the tractor is all set up. I will be taking them on a tour around the farm. Through the gardens, in the horse and cow pasture, around the corn field, pass the goats and sheep, and lastly around the pond. I walked over to Zayn, who was taking the saddle off of Brighton and looking up at me smiling. God I just melted.

    I took the kids to the tractor and they all loaded up. Zayn hopped on the back of the tractor behind me while I started it. I turned around and yelled out "Is everyone ready?!" I got a chorus of" Yes's" And smiled. I started going on the tractor while some kids clung tightly to their teacher's or the hay. I loved making other peoples days.

    After the ride, the kids went to the inside arena and sat at the bleachers while eating lunch. Me and Zayn showed them Brightons tricks by making him trot and reverse. I got on him bareback a did a couple pole jumping acts while receiving "oohs" and "ahhs". I looked over at Zayn who seemed like he had complete adoration in his eyes. I usually ask Aaliyah if she wants to do the tricks, but she seemed busy with telling Harry about her news. So I let it go. I jumped down from Brighton and fed him treats while petting him. "Good boy" I smiled and kissed his muzzle.

     The children all finished their lunches and cleaned their mess up. They all said thank you and were on their way back to school. I checked the time and it was only 2 o'clock so that means we had all dat off. "Hey" I said turning around and looking at him "Do you wanna go see a movie or something? Everything taken care of for the rest of today." I steadily watched him. He was brushing Titans hair. "Uh yeah" he replied looking at me smiling "Let me finish up here". I couldn't help but feel giddy "Alright I'll go get my wallet and keys" I said pulling my hair up. "Um I got it. I'll pay for the tickets"  he stated. "Are you sure? I mean it's no big deal" I asked staring at him. "Yeah it's the polite thing to do" he said whilst stepping out of the stall and closing it. He sat the brush and comb down on a table. I went into the house and got the keys and a jacket. I grabbed his leather jacket and my wallet just in case. I just realized that we were technically going on a date.. I locked up the house and walked towards the car. I got in and started it, "You ready?" I asked as he got in. "Yes"  he said shutting the door. I handed him his jacket and wallet and started my way on the 45 minute drive to the movie theater.
