NIALL'S POV
"Louis I'm such an idiot. I should have known that what I was saying was hurting him. All he's done is to make me happy and make sure that I'm comfortable." I sniffled as I cried on my bestfriend's shoulder.
When I had got home, I went straight to bed and cried my eyes out at the way I had treated my husband.
Him leaving the way he left opened my eyes and I realized how hard all of this had been on him.
"He hates me. He probably hates me Louis." I said through my tears.
"No don't say that, Harry doesn't hate you and you are not an idiot. You are just pregnant and it's normal to have all these moods that you've been experiencing." Louis rubbed my back as he spoke.
I continued to cry silently and I must have cried myself to sleep.
"Harry please don't go. I promise I'll be a better husband for you." I begged and cried as I held Harry's arm.
"No Niall I'm tired of this. You've been treating me like I'm a rug that you always just step on, forgetting that I am a person who has feelings too. I'm leaving you." Harry said coldly, his voice sounded like it wasn't his.
He managed to remove my grip from his arm and picked up his suitcase then he left the room.
I wiped my tears to see a little clearly then I followed him.
"Harry please, I love you. Don't leave me. What about the baby?" I panicked at the thought of raising our baby alone.
"The baby is mine too and when it's born, I'll take the responsibility that I have to take but you and I can't be together." Harry said in finality and quickly descended the stairs.
But the time I managed to get down with the bump being an issue, he had already gotten in his car.
"Harry don't leave!" He looked at me from where I was stood on the front porch and started the car.
"Harry!"
"Harry!"
"Harry!" I opened my eyes quickly and looked around then burst into tears when I realized that it had been a dream.
A horrible dream that was far too vivid for my liking.
"I'm here baby. I'm not going anywhere." I felt arms wrap around me and at first, I thought it was a dream because Harry was mad at me but then his sweet scent filled my nostrils and I knew that it was no dream.
I turned around and was met with my handsome husband, he looked even more handsome if that was possible.
"Babe?" I called him just to be sure that I wasn't still dreaming.
He smiled and hummed.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for driving you away. I'm sorry for hurting your feelings, I'm sorry for being rude, I'm sorry fo-" He cut me off with a kiss, one that I happily reacted to.
"It's okay baby, you don't have to apologize. It's not your fault. And I'm sorry too for not exercising a little bit more patience." He said but I shook my head.
It wasn't okay. "No Har, you don't have to justify anything for me. Being pregnant doesn't mean I should forget about other people's feelings and just focus on my own." I told him.
After a small argument Harry sighed and spoke up.
"Alright, I'll forgive you on one condition." He started and looked at me.
"Just name it." I answered.
"I'll forgive you if you forgive me too." He said and I smiled.
"Deal." I said and he repeated after me then we kissed and it got pretty heated.
"Whoa! I leave you two alone for a minute and you wanna have sex?" Louis disturbed us and I groaned.
I didn't even know that he was still around but when I looked at him and saw his wet hair, I gathered that he had gone to take a shower.
"We weren't having sex, idiot." I glared at him but he stuck his tongue out at me.
Harry lifted me and placed me in his lap then Louis curled up in the love seat and we started watching a show that was on.
"I'm glad we are okay. Thought you left me." I whispered to Harry.
"I'm glad we are okay too. I would never leave you baby, you are stuck with me." He said and I smiled.
"Good, cause I don't know if I could continue living if you left me." I said and we both leaned in and kissed then we looked over at Louis to see him fast asleep.

A week later, Harry and I had just picked out our baby's name and we were now in the kitchen debating on what we should cook.
"I say lasagna." Harry said and stood thinking for a while. I wanted pasta but I also wanted lasagna.
"Alright, lasagna it is." I said after a while and Harry cheered. He is such a dork. A cute dork.
After cooking together and ending up with almost burnt food because we couldn't keep our hands off each other, we sat down and ate.
"What do you think is better Ni, putting the baby bag in the car already or setting it in the entry way for easy access when the day comes?" Harry asked me after a while of comfortable silence.
"The car is better. I mean I was there when Denise went into labour and it was bad. The baby bag was in the bedroom and when she started screaming, It was hectic for me and Greg. He ended up going to the hospital with one shoe." I explained and Harry burst out laughing.
I joined him because even if it wasn't funny at the time, it surely was after Theo was born and we would have a good laugh about how Greg welcomed his child with one shoe on.
"That's hilarious." Harry wiped his tears that had managed to gather in his eyes when he was laughing.
"I know right." I smiled.
"Alright so bag in the car. Better that way." He said and we continued talking about it then when we finished eating Harry suggested that we go for a late night walk like we always did.
The doctor had suggested it to help the baby's flexibility and getting him ready for birth.
"I think I'll pass today. I'm feeling unusually tired." I said.
"Baby, it's just a short distance then we are back. Besides it's good for the baby." Harry coaxed and I groaned but nodded.
"Great. Come on." Harry led us to the door and we put on our coats and shoes then we left.
It was a slow walk like always because I was just about ready to pop.
"You look fabulous carrying our son." Harry said and kissed my cheek. I felt heat rise to my face.
Having Harry compliment me would never be old no matter how long he's done it. I love it.
We walked in silence and after ten minutes, we decided to turn back and get home.
By now, I was super tired and it was hard to keep up with my husband despite the fact that he was walking slowly for my sake.
"Let me hold you. Can see you are tired." Harry snaked an arm around my waist but I removed his hand.
" I'm fine, thanks." I smiled forcefully.
"Baby, tiredness is written all over your face. Lemme help yo-" Harry started but I cut him off.
"I said I'm fine okay!" I snapped and he froze, my eyes widening when I realized that I had snapped at him.
"I-I I'm sorry Har. I didn't mean to snap at you. It's just that..." I trailed off.
"It's okay Ni. What's wrong? You know you can tell me anything." Harry urged and I looked at him then I took a deep breath.
"I just don't wanna feel like a burden to you." I said quietly and I wasn't even sure if he'd heard me.
"Ni." He stopped walking and stood in front of me, putting his hands on my shoulders and looking directly in my eyes.
His gaze was so intense, I was almost turned on. But I shook those thoughts outta my head.
"We are in this together and whatever you want or need help with , don't be hesitant to tell me okay. I want you be able to tell me anything and then we can work it out together. It's the both of us baby." He said softly and slowly.
"Please don't ever feel like a burden to me because you are far from that." He finished and my tears decided it was time to make an appearance.
Damn hormones.
"Come here." Harry opened his arms for me and I immediately buried my head in the crook of his neck.
"I love you baby. Don't ever forget that." He said soothingly as he kept rubbing my back while I silently cried. I wasn't even sure why I was crying.
"I love you too." I said when I stopped crying and looked at him.
He leaned in and we shared a kiss then we broke it and smiled lovingly at each other.
"Come on now. I'm craving a big mug of hot chocolate." Harry said with a smile knowing that I was craving it too.
"Mmmmm seems like I have rubbed the cravings on you." I smile and he shrugged.
"I'm not complaining." At that we both laughed and made our way back to the house.
HARRY'S POV
"Wow Niall. This is amazing!" Bobby gushed as he ate his food.
And I had to agree with him, it was really good. Niall had made a huge dinner for all of us and invited both our families.
I didn't even know that this was what he was planning because he had made me hang out with Zayn the whole afternoon since Liam was out having some alone time with Louis.
I had been surprised when I got back home and saw their cars. At first I thought something had happened to Niall and I had to rush inside but I was relieved when I saw what was going on.
Turned out, they were all waiting for me and after the pleasantries, we dined.
"Thanks dad." He smiled at his dad and we all continued eating with light conversion.
It was a happy time, having to spend time with our families like this was gold.
Suddenly Niall looked at Theo.
"Theo, bub you have to eat your vegetables too." He said and smiled at the toddler who looked at his veggies and frowned.
"I hate veggies." Theo pouted making everyone laugh at his adorableness.
"Here let me help you. I'll make you a deal, if you eat 'em I'll pick you up from school tomorrow and we'll have ice cream." Niall offered knowing Theo's weakness.
"I want it today. Tomorrow is too long." He said, looking at his parents who had amused smiles on their faces at the fact their son was even considering eating the vegetables.
"It's already late bud, you can't have ice cream right before bed." Niall explained and Theo sighed.
"Okay. But you feed me." He said and Niall smiled triumphantly.
"Sure." He picked up Theo's fork and began feeding the kid who ate with an unhappy face.
Just looking at Niall acting so natural with his nephew while he's pregnant with our child brought a warm fuzzy feeling to my heart.
I knew that he would be a good dad and I really couldn't wait for our baby to arrive but we had one more week to go.
I took out my phone and snapped a picture just as Niall put the fork to Theo's mouth.
"Awwwww, you're gonna be such a good dad." Gemma took the words out of my mind.
"Yes. You are really a natural." Bobby complimented.
"They are right baby. I mean when Greg was born, your dad couldn't even change a nappy without messing up." Maura piped in and everyone laughed.
"Hey, in my defense he was my first son, okay. I did so much better when Niall was born." Bobby defended.
"I won't even get started on you and your first experience." My mum said and looked at my dad.
"Thank you. That's really a wise decision." Dad smiled and we all laughed again. Even Theo, although I'm sure he didn't know why everyone was laughing.
"Tell us about Greg." Gemma looked at Denise after the laughter had died down.
Denise went on to tell us how amazing Greg is with Theo. And we continued talking about our son. At one point, Gemma told us how we all made her want to be a mum.
When dinner was over, Gemma and Denise did the dishes then we all went to the living room to hang for a bit.
Theo had retired after having his red velvet cupcake and was now sleeping soundly in Bobby's arms.
Half an hour later, everyone left and we went right to bed after washing up.

On the second of July, Niall and I had just finished eating breakfast and we were now cuddling and watching TV.
"How's Anne today. You talked to her?" Niall asked softly.
"No I haven't rung her yet." I replied.
Dad had called us the previous day to tell us that her allergies were acting up.
Said, she's accidentally eaten something that she wasn't supposed to when she and some of her college friends met up.
"Why don't you swing by and see her then, I could come with you but I'm really tired today." Niall offered.
"I can't leave you baby. Not when you are a day away from your due date." I argued and called my mum but I was sent to her voicemail.
I called my dad and it rung straight to voicemail too.
"I'll be fine, really. Go see how she is today. And I'll be right here waiting for you when you get back." Niall coaxed with a smile.
"I don't know how I feel about leaving you alone baby." I stressed and he turned around in my arms, kissing me softly.
"I'll be fine babe. Don't worry, I'll even call Denise to stay with me while you are away." He offered and I relaxed a bit.
I really didn't wanna leave Niall but I knew how my mum's allergies are. They are pretty bad and I know she wouldn't tell me how she is doing unless I see for myself.
So I called Denise and luckily she was shopping with Gemma and they both promised to come and keep Niall company.
Ten minutes later, they arrived and I left to see mum after asking Gemma if she had seen her and she told me that she hadn't seen her that day.
I drove quickly and when I got to my parents house, I was met with the cutest sight ever. Mum and dad were in the kitchen preparing lunch.
Their backs were to me so I took a moment to just watch them.
"Hi guys." I waved after a few seconds and they turned around and smiled at me.
"Baby, how are you. How's Niall?" Mum engulfed me in a big hug.
We broke the hug and I hugged my dad too then I told them that I was fine and that Niall was fine as well. I told them I had just gone to see how she was doing.
"Aww baby you didn't have to come all he way here and leave Niall alone. I'm fine, all good today." She smiled and I could tell that she was okay now which brought a smile to my face.
"That's amazing. And Niall is not alone, he's with Gemma and Denise." I explained and my mum clapped her hands together.
"In that case, would you like to stay for lunch?" She offered and I immediately agreed.
They finished cooking and dished then I set the table and we dug in.
Half way through our meal, my phone buzzed and when I looked at the caller ID, my heart beat sped up.
It was Gemma.
Was Niall okay, what happened?
"Gemma what's going on?" I asked as soon as I accepted the call.
"It's Niall, Harry. He's in labour. Get here quicky, we are headed to the hospital right now."
I couldn't even ask any questions because she hung up.
"Niall's in labour." I told my parents and stood up to walk to the door.
Niall wasn't supposed to be in labour today.
Please be okay my babies.
