"Hey, lovebirds," Gemma said with a grin as she walked through the front door, looking at her brother who was sitting at the couch with Louis, Asher following in after her. "What have you two been doing all day?" She asked curiously as she plopped down on the couch next to Louis, stealing the bowl of popcorn from him.

"Watching movies," Harry answered and then sat up a bit more, reaching forward to grab his water bottle. "What about you two?" He asked as Asher took a seat next to Gemma.

"Loads of stuff," Gemma informed as Harry took a sip of his water. "Mum said you were going to dinner later over at Louis' place, yeah? Is that a... teens expecting a baby dinner or just a regular dinner?" She asked, making Louis laugh a little.

"I don't think we'll ever have a regular dinner again." Louis chuckled and Gemma laughed a little. "We're supposed to be discussing living arrangements and stuff like that," Louis said as he reached into the bowl of popcorn to grab a few pieces for himself. 

"Have you two made any plans about that?" Asher asked as he watched the movie playing on the television, reaching into the popcorn bowl to grab a few for himself. 

"We were thinking that Louis could just move in here," Harry said softly as he looked over at Asher. "And that the baby could have Gemma's room since she'll be away at university." He said and gave Gemma a hopeful look. 

"Well, I guess I can't exactly say no to my little niece or nephew," Gemma said, rolling her eyes playfully. "So, I'm fine with it." She said and then looked over at Harry. "You think mum will be on board with letting any of that happen?"

"That's the main goal of tonight's dinner." Harry sighed softly and then looked over at Louis. "And that's just one of the many topics we'll have to discuss." He said.

"Hm," Gemma said and then laughed a little to herself, making the three boys look over at her. "Was all of this really worth fifteen seconds of... adult time?" She asked with another laugh making Harry cover his face with his hands and Louis just glared over at her.

"Hey, it was longer than fifteen seconds," Louis said, defending himself as he grabbed another handful of popcorn. "Give me some credit, geez." He laughed and then shook his head. "Honestly... that night was really fun. Kind of worth it, I think."

"Gross," Gemma said, scrunching up her nose and then looked at the television again. "I can't imagine... being pregnant." She admitted and then looked over at Harry's stomach. "What's it like?" She asked curiously.

"I'm nauseous, hungry, sleepy, and I have to pee constantly," Harry admitted as he watched the movie play on screen. "Plus my stomach is just, like, growing. So, it's pretty weird being pregnant, I'd say." He said, shrugging his shoulders a little.

"And... How's it feel knowing you got someone pregnant?" Gemma asked Louis curiously, making Louis give her an odd look as he tried to figure out how to answer that.

"Um, I guess I felt guilty for a while," Louis admitted although he and Harry had talked about that before so that shouldn't have come as a shock to him. "I guess it's just kind of weird... knowing that I got someone pregnant." He said, unable to come up with a better answer than that.

"Mum should be home soon," Harry informed after checking the time on his phone. "Which means I should probably go get dressed and you should too." He said as he looked at Louis before he got up from the couch, Louis following suit. "See you later, Gems... and Asher," Harry said, offering them both a smile as he took Louis' hand and walked up the stairs with him. "I really need a shower." He said softly once they'd reached his room.

"Me too," Louis said quickly and then smirked as Harry turned to look at him. "May I join you?" He asked and then pecked Harry's lips gently. "You know... to save water and... whatever." He chuckled and Harry only rolled his eyes playfully before saying he could join.
