The One That Got Away

Chapter 31

Chapter 31

"Honey, I'm home!" Harry's voice echoed throughout the house.

I gasped. "Oh, no. Nina, he's here. I have to go."

"Tell him, Roxy! Don't keep it from him!" she said right before I hung up on her.

I took a deep breath and disposed of the sticks. Yes, I took more than one just to make sure. Every one of them came back with two bars. I splashed my face with some water before drying it off and putting my hair into a messy bun. I took many deep breaths but nothing seemed to help. I opened the medicine cabinet and took out some Advil. I stuck the two pills in my jeans pocket to take after eating.

"Roxy?"

"Coming!"

"So is Christmas!"

I laughed lightly while I trudged down the stairs and into the kitchen. Harry had a pizza box in hand making me raise an eyebrow at him. "I thought we were getting Chinese?" I took the box from him and entered the living room, telling myself to be brave and tell him.

"The Chinese place we usually go to was closed so I got pizza instead."

I nodded and sat down on the couch. He sat down next to me, pulling my feet onto his lap and taking a slice of the peperoni pizza. I took one as well and switched on the TV, my conscience fighting me to turn it off and spill the beans. Nausea grew on me suddenly and I grimaced. I put the half eaten slice back in the box quickly and rushed to the bathroom, bending down in front of the toilet and spewed my guts out into it.

"Oh my god, Roxy. Are you okay?" Harry asked frantically as he held my hair back, rubbing circles into my back.

I took a deep breath and leant against the wall, burying my head in my knees. I grunted in response. I suddenly grew tired so with all my might, I stood up and uncapped the bottle of mouthwash. I gargled the liquid in my mouth to get the horrid taste out of my mouth before walking to the kitchen, getting out a glass of water and chugging it down with the pills, Harry trailing curiously behind me. I sighed and leant against the counter.

"Roxy? What's going on?"

I shook my head. "Nothing, Harry. Don't worry about me."

I smirked before hauling me on top of the counter and standing in between my legs. He wrapped his arms around me and pecked my lips. "I worry about you all the time, Roxy. That's quite impossible. I know something's wrong. Tell me what the matter is."

I shook my head, tears springing to my eyes. "Harry, I can't... You-You're going to hate me."

"I will never hate you, Roxy. That is the most absurd thing I've ever heard."

I took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant, Harry."

 

HARRY'S POV

"Are you serious?!" I exclaimed, a wide grin spreading across my face.

"...yes..? You're not mad?" she whispered, gobsmacked.

My eyes practically bulged out of their sockets. "What!? You thought I'd be mad?!" She looked down at her hands and nodded. I titled her chin up so that she was facing me. "Why?"

She sighed. "Because you have so much on your plate already. You don't need a baby and a hormonal girlfriend to add to everything."

I rolled my eyes. "Love, I couldn't be any happier. Screw my schedule."

She smiled and kissed me. I pulled away before lifting her shirt up to reveal her stomach. I put a hand on it and lightly kissed it. "Hey, baby. I can't wait till you pop out of there so I can hold you. I love you."

I looked back up at Roxy to see tears trickling down her face, a wide smile playing at her lips. "I love you." she whispered.

I smiled back. "I love you, too."

"The next morning she woke up with horrible morning sickness. I tried to help her but she just started yelling at me to make her some coffee, so I did just that. But when I gave it to her, she vomited again and said to go to the market to get her all the items on this list she made last night since she couldn't sleep. I don't know what to do, Fatima. Please, help me." I whined into the receiver of the phone to Fatima as I strolled along the aisles in the grocery store.

I heard her sigh. "This is going to happen for nine months, babe. Get used to it."

I groaned. "I wish you or one of the girls were here. She'd be much happier."

"Yeah, I wish I could- Oh my god."

"What? What is it?!"

"I have a manager now, to help with the bakery. There's not much left to be done, so maybe I can fly over in a couple days with Zayn?"

I nearly screamed in happiness. "Yes! Yes, please!"

She laughed. "Alright, it's settled. I'll text you the details after I've talked with Becky- my manager- and Zayn later. But for now, tell me everything this hormonal mess has requested you buy for her."

Hey guys! My apologies on how short it is. x_x Anynoodles, I have to make this short, sadly. So, let's cut to the chase. School started back today (normal, boring day) and come on, we have to be serious here. School. Comes. First. So, if I don't keep up with my schedule for some reason (I'm really trying to keep up with it, I promise.), PLEASE don't hate me. I'm VERY busy. 

Another thing I would like to address quickly, the "Update" comments. Please, understand that I have a SCHEDULE. I will update on that specific day ONLY. Not on any other day. I have a life, as do you. Please, stop. They annoy the fudge out of me, not to be rude or anything, but they do. I want your feedback, not an "update" comment. 

Okay, so that's really it. Go check out my other stories- Another World, The Story of Us, Crossing Boundaries and Her Heart Is My Drug! I work really hard on them and your feedback would be greatly appreciated. 

Okay, so that is all for today. I love you guys! <3
