Something Great

Harry moved around for a moment just a few seconds before his alarm went off for us to wake up. He rolled over, taking me under his arm. He pushed his nose into my hair, I could feel his breath on my neck.

"Cupcake." He murmured against my skin. A groan left my mouth. "You can stay here if you want."

Turning to him I spoke. "I think I'm going to. I love going around with you, but-"

"Good, because I was going to make you stay anyway." A smile formed on his lips. I couldn't help but feel unwanted.

"You don't want me around?" I asked pitifully.

"You've just been working as much as I have and I can tell you're tired. I don't want you to over work yourself." I understood then, that it was that he wanted me to relax. "Sophia will stay with you, you can do girly non-boy band things." Harry suggests before he rolls out of bed landing on the floor with a muffled thud. I laughed when he popped his head up with a broad grin across his face.

"That sounds nice."

"You can sleep in and stay in your pajamas, you'll feel better."

"Yeah I think I'll stay."

"All right baby. I do love you and I'll text you a lot since you won't be with us. And I'll call you at my lunch break." He kept talking as he went into the bathroom. "I'll have Liam send Sophi in in a little bit."

I nodded and shut my eyes as he kept talking to me. I tried to keep up with his energy but I couldn't. When he went into the actual shower, he was mostly silent. Humming a tune instead of belting out one. I fell back asleep only to wake for a literal second when he kissed me and told me he loved me before he set off for his day of work.

"I love you." I tried muttering in response.

"I love you too. Sleep well." Just as I was falling back into a deep slumber I heard our hotel door open again, I knew it'd be Harry so I wasn't worried. Then I felt a bit of pressure on my stomach.
"I love you too little guy." He whispered. a second later he was gone, and I wanted him so badly to be right back right next to me. Under the blankets with a strong hold around me.

I wasn't awake for long after he left. I laid with my face in his pillow and a firm hand where our child would be growing inside me. His scent taking me to dream land filled with mostly him.

I woke up with the sun shinning intensely into the medium sized room. A big glass door out to a small balcony that over looked the city we were in. I was alone.

I slid off the bed my toes feeling the soft carpet under them. I felt weight on the front of me.
Without looking down my hand grasp the massive round shape of my stomach.

"Harry." I said. It wasn't a whisper, it wasn't a yell. I was calling for him though.

"What do you need Lex?" Dani appeared by the door.

"I..." The words wouldn't leave my mouth. I'd just fallen asleep though. I just found out I was pregnant.

"Go on. The doctor said bed rest." She pushed me to the bed.

"But." Lifting my shirt I saw my skin stretch tight across my abdomen. A baby?

"Do you need anything? Bathroom? Something to drink?"

"I..."

"Spit it out Lexi."

I couldn't. I shouldn't. Just looking down and seeing how big I grew in what felt like hours.

~~~~~

My forehead was covered with sweat. Without thinking my hand grasps my stomach it was nearly flat. Certainly not the big bump I'd seen moments ago while I'd been asleep. And Dani wasn't there. Why would Dani be here anyway?

I took some deep breaths before I got my phone to call Harry. Relived I hadn't been as far along as my dream I still felt the nervousness of being a parent. It's happening so quick. It feels like just yesterday Harry and I were laying in bed a few nights before we had been married. It feels like the first night we had in out house.

I heard soft knocks on my door. "Lexi?" The voice familiar, but not one I recognized immediately. "It's Sophia." I flung the covers off, doing a little jog to the door.

"Hi." I said pushing back some hair that had fallen in my eyes.

"Liam just called me, he said Harry asked him to ask me to see if you were all right."

"Yeah, just woke up actually." We smiled at each other. "I was just about to call Harry actually."

"Liam said that they're about to do the interview so you should wait until their lunch in a couple hours."

"Oh." I was washed with disappointment. She didn't speak for a while.

"Did you want to go get some breakfast or coffee or something?"

"Uh, yeah!" My smile grew at the mention of food. "Just give me a few to shower?"

"Yeah, I'll be in Liam's room hanging out."

"All right whi-"

"1106"

"Thanks. I won't be long."

I showered as quickly as I could. I threw on my favorite sweat pants and hoodie, put my hair up in a pony tail, and pocketed my phone, money and the room key before leaving. I didn't remember what Sophia had been wearing before deciding it wouldn't matter. She opened the door with a big yawn. She had on some jeans and a hoodie.

"Ready?"

Walking down the hall was quiet, the halls had been nearly abandoned. On the elevator ride all I could hear was the motors of the lines pulling the lines attached to the tops of the boxes. We met up with a set of berlly men waiting in the lobby for us. Outside the hotel the fans had gathered screaming and yelling as we had been the boys them selves.

"Lexi!!!!" They yelled, not knowing Sophia's name yet they mostly just screamed my name.

"How far along are you?"

"A baby I love babies!"

"Oh My GOd!!!!"

The men pushed us passed them and into a big black SUV.

"Where'd you like to go?" He accent was thicker then mine and for some reason I'd noticed that.

"Do you just want to drive a ways away so that we're away from all the commotion?" After all my years of traveling with the boys it was always the best bet. The distance away from the hotel nearly always proved to be the most safe, and almost usually we ever we ended for our meal would have been better then anything we would have had in the center of which ever city we happened to be in.

*awake and headed for something to eat with Sophia* Then I slipped my phone into my pocket for safe keeping.

"I'm pregnant." The words spewed from my mouth as if I wasn't controlling it. desperate to fill the silence even if had meant that I'd have to talk about myself. She blushed and she bit her lip.

"What?"

"I got your tweets... I mean I have them sent to my phone." She was a fan.

"You're a fan?"

"I don't like it when people say it like that. They always assume I'm crazy and fanatical, like it was me that swiped Liam's underwear in Australia." I couldn't help, but giggle.

"Sorry. It's nice, Liam must really really like you."

"I hope so." She looked down at her hands clasped together in her lap.

"He does."

"Ladies, I've found a diner on the out skirts of town, is that all right?" One of the berly men from security asked. I looked at Sophia for her answer.

"Umh, what else did you find?" Half of me was stunned she didn't want to go the diner. The other half hurt, because no one wanted something other then a diner on tour. Always the best greasy food that felt like the diner at home which automatically made us feel at home. It didn't matter if we were in Australia or LA, diner's felt like home. The chocolate shakes never tasted the same though, but it was all right because it was home.

"There are a few cafes, it says here one is attached to a book store. Also a couple big chain fast food places." He listed off several more, but I was caught on the diner, even the book store didn't appeal to me right now. I wanted a damn chocolate shake.

"Can we go to one of the cafes?" She looked to me. "You like books right, we can have something and then you can look at books." Both the men in the car with us had been working with the boys for nearly the whole time I knew them. They knew what it was like when we were all in the car trying to find some place to eat and we found a diner. Diner's were sacred, and I'd bet anything I'd never get tired of them.

"Or the diner..." I hoped. "But we can go to the cafe if you'd like." The good person in me took over my mouth. My brain and stomach still wanted the milkshake.

"The one with the book store?" I nodded.

~~~~

"Not only did we not go the diner both Chad and Preston suggested it was like another hour drive, and she wouldn't shut up about how lucky she felt being with Liam."

"Just giver her a little time. She doesn't know our traditions." Harry took me in his arms.

"I still want a milkshake." It was nearing midnight and Harry had just made it back to the bus. The boys still toured with two buses and since the other's were all on one of them Harry and I took the other one almost all to our selves.

"We'll get one, you and I, next city." He held me tight to him mostly because the bunk was so small. I'd hoped he wanted me this close to him.

"Okay. So how was your day?" I kissed his forehead just as the curtain was pulled back rather hastily. Lux's head was just barely visible at the edge of the bed. Her smile was big like she was proud of what she just did.

"Lux, you know you're not supposed to do that."

"But Hazza. And Lexi." She said quickly giving her mum a big pout. Harry leaned out as Lou approached the bed.

"It's all right." He lifted her up into the bed with us. Now there really wasn't any room. She laid between us, somehow.

"Lexi. Where do babies come from?" My eyes went wide, matching Harry's. The curtain was yanked open again and Lou was pulling her out in seconds.

"I'm glad we don't have to explain that yet."

"What will we tell them though?" I wondered.

"How about we cross that bridge when we get to it."

He kissed me on the forehead and then we were quiet for a so long I fell asleep.

Harry's POV

I couldn't believe how badly I wanted her to start showing. I wanted to feel our kid inside her, the pressure he or she would create when he or she moved or kicked. I wanted her to have cravings so I could get whatever she or the baby wanted. I couldn't wait to help her and do things for her as she grew. Remind her of her beauty and that she was doing something truly magnificent. I wanted her to know that I'd carry the little one if I could when she got tired of it.

Laying with her, my arms around her, hands resting where our kid was slowly growing. I couldn't help but imagine what it'll be like in the house with a little boy or girl. I didn't have a preference, boy or girl. With their little shoes and shirts.

Shots from when Lux was a just the smallest she'd ever been. When she was brand new to the world, brand new to our world. Her tiny little fingers and toes.

I couldn't wait to comfort my own child when they scream and cried. I couldn't wait to stay up with Lex feeding the little one and I couldn't wait to jeep them safe. I couldn't wait to love them and protect them and help them grow into an actual person with opinions and values. A living breathing human that will be the perfect mixture of myself and Lexi.

I couldn't sleep. I watched the moon in the sky. There was a little opening at the end of the bed. I could see out a window. The moon, white as well with darker shadowy parts pulsing down at me. The night sky was clear of both clouds and stars. The moon seemingly alone.

It made me wonder and think about Doctor Who, one of Lexi's favorite shows. An old British tradition. My mum had once talked about watching it with her mum and dad. I used to force my mum and sister to watch it. Dad always liked it. What if there was something out there? And alien, or monsters, or robots. Whatever it was, I'd protect my kid from it. Now I felt silly, promising to protect my kid from science fiction alliens.

I could hear Lexi's soft snores next to me. I tried not to move around too much, I didn't want to wake her. But my legs grew restless. My grip on her loosened, but that only tightened her grip. She was tucked into my side, almost using my chest a a pillow. She was warm next to me.
I gently rolled on my side to face her so that I was looking away from the moon.
