*y/n's pov*

I feel my heart drop and my hand automatically fly to my mouth and my knees begin to give away. I blink my eyes furiously in attempt to blink away the growing tears in my eyes. I look back down at the positive pregnancy test in my hand.

This has to be fake. but it's not. My subconscious adds. Everything adds up, the timing, the fact that my period is late and all the morning sickness.

How am I supposed to tell Harry? How will he react? I know he loves babies but so do i, but having one of my own at such a young age is scary. I need to speak with my sister. I pick myself off the floor, walking into mine and harry's room. My heart thumping. I walk over to the bedside table, grabbing my phone.

I sit down on the edge of the bed, my hands still shaking. I know I can trust my sister and she can maybe give me the advice i need at the time. I take a deep breath before pressing her contact name. I bring the phone to my ear, mentally preparing how to break the news to her.

"Hello y/n!" She greets cheerfully. "Um, hi Ella." My voice comes out wobbly, making it sound i am on the verge of tears. Which I am. Again.

"y/n? Is everything okay?" Her concerned voice fills my ears. "I'm scared Ella. I don't know what to do, or how tell Harry."

"Wait what's going on? Why are you scared? and why haven't you told Harry yet? Is it that serious?" I nod, before realising she cant see me. "I'm pregnant." I spill. I hear her gasp loudly and silence follows before she speaks again. "Do you not wanna keep the baby?"

"I don't know Ella. I'm obviously not gonna abort. But I don't know if i can do this. I'm too young and I don't know how Harry's gonna react. What if he leaves me? I'm gonna have to do this alone, and be a single mother and the baby will never-" I start rambling but Ella cuts me off.

"Breathe y/n. First off stop panicking. Everything's gonna be alright. From what I know. I dont think Harry could ever leave you. That guy loves you to death. You and the baby are gonna be absolutely fine. Harry will be right beside you all the way and if God forbid he reacts in a negative way. You pack your shit up and come stay with me. You will not be alone in this y/n. I know you're scared. but there's so many people who love you and will support you. But before anything. You need to get off this call. Stop overthinking, maybe sleep for a while, and tell harry first thing when he comes back from work. You need to talk to him alright?"

I take deep breaths to calm myself down and think straight. Ella's right, I can do this. With or without Harry. "Okay. Thank you Ella. Love you."

"Love you too kiddo."

I hang up and hold my head in my hands as I rack my brain on how I can break this news to Harry and the best way, without getting him too overwhelmed. I need to first hide the pregnancy test. Can't have harry finding out by seeing it in the bathroom now, can i?

I get up from the bed, wiping the semi-dried tears from my face. I turn around to go to the bathroom but I freeze in my place. Harry stands in the doorway, his mouth agape and eyes brimming with tears.

"How long have you been standing there?" I squeak. He doesn't say anything, causing me to start panicking again. I look down as I feel myself about to cry again.

I hear his feet pad over to me and his hands cup either side of my face and tilt it up to face him. Tears are now streaming down his face too. "You're pregnant?" He chokes out and I nod lightly. He wipes my tears with his thumbs and bring me to his chest and be cradles my head.

"You don't have to be scared at all honey. I would never leave you no matter what and you know that. I'm happy you're having this baby. You have no idea how long I had been waiting for this day. I love you so much and I cant even begin on that. You don't have to be scared about anything at all. I'm here and i'm with you. You're the only one I have ever imagined starting a family with. I know you think beacuse you're young you can't do this but you're wrong.

But first off, we're in this together okay? We'll raise the baby together. I'll be with you during your entire pregnancy and every single day after that till the day I die. I'll be with you every step of the way, you have my word. And second..."

He trails off and brings his hands back to where they were before. His smile suddenly washes away all my fears and doubts and I feel a warm feeling in chest. He brings his face close to mine till I can feel his breath on my lips. "Thankyou so much for giving me the best thing I could ever ask for."

His lips then meet mine in a passionate kiss as he wraps his arms arounds me tight and i do too. I feel him smile into the kiss and mumble a small thank you again before diving his tongue my mouth and backing us against bed as we fall against the soft mattress.

We pull apart slowly, his lips still very close to mine. "Holy shit i'm gonna be a dad." He says outloud.

"You're gonna be the greatest dad ever." I whisper.

A wide grin spreads across his face and he buries his face into my neck, his curls tickling the side of my face.

"And you'll be the greatest mom ever."
