Something Great

(Harry's POV)

This wasn't our first doctor's appointment. We flew back to London in the middle of the tour to just check in with our doctor to make sure Lexi and the baby were all right. We flew back to the rest of the band later that day.

This time felt different though. There were other mothers in the waiting room with us. Some were accompanied by males, others by themselves. I hoped they weren't alone, that they had someone to go home to. I knew though, that that wasn't always the case. Even though Lex and I were married I was proud I could be here for her, this time and the last.

I was glad too, that Zayn had already talked it out with management about him having time off to be with Perrie as she went to appointments. I was granted the same deal. Our only condition was to try to plan both Lexi's and Perrie's appointments on the same day. Which I thought would be semi doable. Perrie was a few more months along then Lex, so I knew that schedule then similarly might be a bit tricky.

This one had worked in the end. Perrie and Zayn were sat next to us. She had out her I-pad, and Zayn was looking over her shoulder as she refreshed the twitter page every few minutes. Lexi sat with her ear buds in her ear. Her hand had a death grip on mine, which I didn't mind, I think I was holding her just as tightly.

My forehead was moist, the room felt warm. I could feel my heart beat in my stomach. The clock had only moved a few minutes since we'd signed in. Despite her death grip and silence, she seemed more calm then me. My leg shook up and down as the second took another trip around the numbers.

"Saundra Plimoth" A nurse in lavender scrubs called while she read from a clip board. A woman, older then Perrie and Lexi, stood gripping her back for support as she sort of waddled to the meet the nurse. She looked tired. Her shirt stretching over her abdomen and her pants not covering her tum all the way. She was just one of the many women there without someone else, even though she probably really needed someone with her.

Ten minutes had passed, women leaving and filling the seats so it was full nearly the whole time. I think Lexi was relaxing as her hand had loosened in my grip. I, on the other hand, had to keep reminding myself to breath.

"Relax babe." She rubbed the back of my hand with her thumb. "It's just routine."

"I know. But your stomach pains."

"I'm fine, it was just gas remember."

"Perrie Edwards-Malik." A different nurse emerged from a door and called. They got up, Zayn following a very pregnant Perrie past most of the chairs and went with the nurse.

Five minutes later Lex was called. I took another deep breath before standing to follow right behind her. We were then lead to a normal examination room where we were kept waiting another twenty minutes. With each minute that passed I felt more on edge. A sweat had form on my forehead and in my palms. I let go of her hand to dry it.

"Hello Mrs. and Mr. Styles." He shook our hands. "Now, I have the file from the office you visited while you were away. You're four months along now?"

"Yes." I nodded, she spoke.

"Are we going to be able to see it if we do an ultrasound?" Lexi asked, her face had spread into a big smile that seemed to make her glow.

"Yes, we'll also be able to tell it's gender, do you guys want to know?"

Lexi's POV

"Yes!" I said at the same time as Harry. We hadn't talked about it yet, wanting to know about the sex of our child, and honestly I could say that I hadn't wanted to know. Originally I didn't want to know, but now. I knew if we looked at the baby and I had decided not to know I'd look and try to find out for myself. Now I could say that I wanted to know. Was it a girl or a boy, was it an alien, what was it? I had to know and I was glad that Harry too wanted to know what we'd brought into the world.

Perrie and Zayn wanted to wait, they don't know yet. It kind of made me feel like I had to know so that I wasn't copying her. I mean I kind of did steal her thunder when it came to having a baby and stuff. I did feel guilty that I'd done that, but it wasn't like Harry and I had planned it this was. We had said "soon" who knew soon was now.

"All right I just have to sign out the ultrasound machine and then do some other routine things." The doctor wrote some stuff down on the chart before walking out of the room.

"Do you feel like we've stolen Perrie and Zayn's thunder about this baby thing?"

"Are you reading the horrid tabloids again?"

"No, but I mean- we got pregnant right after them, it kind of feels like we've stolen something from them."

"If you're reading that junk again you know it's not true, none of it." He grew louder.

"I'm not reading any of them." My voice was raised to match Harry's. "Are you reading them again? Are they saying things again?" He looked down. "Harry, are you reading them?"

Reluctance in his eyes answered my question.

"You know what happens when we get our eyes and brain caught up in that."

"I know."

"Forget I said anything and you'll forget you read anything. Deal?" I grabbed his chin to force him to look me in the eyes.

The doctor came in then. A nurse behind him pushing a cart for what I assumed the ultrasound machine. I was asked to sit back and pull up my shirt. Cold jell was spread over my growing stomach. Harry took hold of my hand again. Holding it tight. HE was nervous which was making me nervous.

The nursed pressed a few buttons on the computer machine, the doctor had pressed a remote attached the computer with a coiled cord. Instantly we heard a repetitive whooshing sound. It was loud and quick. A black and white picture came up but I wasn't sure what I was looking at.
Harry scouted closer to me and leaned in to the picture, I was thinking maybe he was trying to make some sense of what he was seeing.

Something happened and I could see the silhouette of a babe. The head, massive, and it's arms and legs curled into it's body.

My eyes started to water.

"That's?" Harry breathed.

The doctor smiled and nodded.

"Yes. That's your kid." He moved the remote around slowly letting us see different angles. "That faint thumping, though quiet to us, is strong. It's you baby's heart beat."
In that moment Harry dropped his head to kiss my hand. His face was wet.

"Are you crying?"

"Don't tease me." He half smiled half let out a sob.

"Now are the two of you sure you want to know the gender?" Dr. Steve asked again. Harry waited for me to answer first.

"Yes." I took a deep breath.

He moved the remote around a bit more, trying to get the right angle.

"Well." He said as he made a few small movements. Harry's grip tightened. " She is very healthy, strong heart beat. It looks like her growth is right where it needs to be. I'm confident she will continue to grow up to be a beautiful wonderful baby girl."
A baby girl.

I'd been tearing up before, but now I was down right balling. I kept taking deep breaths. Harry collapsed onto my chest crying into the crook of my neck.

"We're parents." When he lifted his head he kissed me hard on the lips and wiped my tears away.

"So. It's a g- she's a girl." I hadn't been hopping for anything, boy girl. It didn't matter to me. The rest of the appointment was just a blur compared to to that. What I understood though is that everything seemed to be going fine.

Zayn and Perrie were waiting for us when our appointment was done. Perrie sat in the passenger seat her hands lightly resting on her nearly there child. Though she was only a month or so ahead of me, she was like ten times as massive.

"Well. We found out why I'm the size of a bus." She kind of laughed when Harry and I climbed into the car.

"I knew it." I said at the same time she said, "Twins."

"Oh I'm so happy for the two of you!" I squealed. Harry smiled and moved forward in his seat to pat Zayn on the back. I lept out of the car flinging her door open to pull her out of her seat. Then we wrapped our arms around each other, Squeezing each other as tight as our stomachs and bladders would allow.

When things settled down and Zayn began driving away, movement in my abdomen. Pressure
down onto my bladder. I had to pee. I had to pee so bad. I pinched my legs together.

"Can we stop some place?"

"Didn't you go pee before we left?"

"I did, but I have to go again." I pouted.

"I have to pee too." Perrie whined. We laughed. We'd been not only peeing in sync but our craving had been nearly exactly the same. We'd been spending more time then ever together. it seemed every other night they were staying over at the house. We would sit night after night feeding off each others weird food cravings.

"Can we also stop for some vanilla ice cream and maybe some steak?" I asked after we had finally made it to a bathroom.

"Oh, what about mushrooms, and avocado." She said.

"With that mozzarella cheese!"

"And strawberries!" One after after another, a food item would be called out. Our cart was full when we made it out of the store. And then it was time for us to go home and cook, which

Perrie and I let Zayn and Harry do .

Harry's POV

"So twins?" I said as the steak cook and Zayn fixed together the fruit salad.

"Yeah."

"Two of them."

"Yeah."

"Scared?"

"Yeah. Are you?"

"Yeah."
