Forty Five ; bad idea

(fair bit of swearing in this one rip) 

"Are you OK?" I hear Harry ask, his voice gentle

I look up from my phone and see him leaning elegantly on the couch with his ankles crossed, looking at me with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Yeah" I sigh and think for a second "Just fucking bored... we should do something"

"Ave, you know what Gus, You and I discussed" He uncrosses his arms and sits opposite me "You're 5 and a half months pregnant, and it's so obvious now" A smile stretches across his face, the same one he gets whether the baby is mentioned. 

God, he's adorable 

"I know but" I take a deep breath and think of a way to persuade him "What if we just went for a walk down to the shop? and got some snacks? It's 5 minutes away" Please say yes, Harry. I need to get of the house and get some fresh air. 

"I'd love to but what if I get recognized?" He rubs his head "The tabloids would go crazy for that headline. Harry Styles spotted with pregnant woman and then it would be out there. Ruining it for you and August and I don't want that"  

"Come on,H" I plead "We can take Matilda, she needs a walk anyway"

He thinks for a second and watches the dog wag her tail at the word walk. 

"Fine" He stands up and holds out his hand. "Make it quick"

I take his hand and stand up off the couch. I clip Matilda's lead to her collar and put on a jacket and shoes. Harry stands behind me I walk out the front door with her leash in one hand and his hand in the other. 

We walk down to the small shop and I lean against the wall and watch him put his sunglasses on and walk in. I wait patiently and pat Matilda on the head. It's a nice day, sunny day. I'm sending invites to the baby shower next week, it will also be a surprise for Niall, Louis, Liam and Zayn because they haven't been told yet.  

"Wait.. is that?" I hear a distant voice and I already know what is happening and I want to leave, but I can't go in the shop with the dog. I can deal with paparazzi at big events, cameras flashing, but it's something about just being alone with H and people taking photos of us. It scares me, having my privacy invaded. fuck hurry up, Harry. 

I know they see him through the shop window, and I know when he comes out and talks to me that I'm going to be involved with him. Because now, I'm just a pregnant girl with a dog, but soon I'll be that but with Harry Styles with me. They'll video, post it and there goes my plan of keeping it a surprise. 

"No fucking way.." two young girls stand on the opposite side of the street and point through the windows. I squeeze Matilda's lead and she sits next to me, I feel her body push against my leg and I know she senses something isn't right with me. 

The door opens and Harry comes out with a bag , completely unaware of what was happening and it's only when we hear two high pitched squeals he makes a face of realization. I nod my head and we start walking away from there. I see them in the corner of my eye cross the road, phones out recording us and I wrap my jacket around me belly, but it's too late and I know this feeling of anxiety all too well. I take a step back behind Harry as they get closer. 

"Sorry to bother" The tall blonde says, excitement on her face "But are you Harry Styles?"

Harry turns to me and sees my panic and knows he has to wrap this up quickly "Yeah, but can you please not record my friend?"  He asks kindly. 

Matilda stands up and keeps close to me and I rub her back to try and calm myself, I've been with him while he's talked to fans, I've been to events with him and articles. But this is the opposite of what I want right now because I'm trying to keep a secret from 3 of my best friends and the more that phone camera is on us the more it's getting ruined.
