Remember When?
Trouble on the Homefront
Penny's POV
Clary has been gone for two weeks. Today she was coming back. Thanks the lord. Pretty much everything that could've gone wrong in my life has over these two weeks.
"Harry…is something wrong?" He looks at me with those bright green eyes. They lost their shine since…since Ryan came back. He shakes his head and keeps dancing with me. But he doesn't hold me close like how I imagined. I know something is wrong but I can't put my finger on it. I sigh and just stay there, slowly swaying to the music. "I have to go to the bathroom Harry…I'll be back." He nods again and goes to sit down, I practically run to the bathroom. I just sit on the bench outside for heaven's knows how long. Eventually Clary is coming over and sits down. "What's got you down Penny?" I look at her and shrug.
"Something's wrong with Harry…he won't talk to me." Clary pulls me in for a hug.
"Everything will be fine. Okay? Now come on, no one is allowed to mope on my day. Especially one of my ladies." I crack a smile and let her pull me back out. Eventually Clary and Niall were long gone and I was sitting by Harry. Not talking really.
"Wanna go?" He turns and looks at me.
"Yea sure…I'll drop you off first." WHAT? I gape at him and just don't respond. I just stand up and walk out. If I was going home alone then I'm just going to take a fucking cab and not sit in awkward silence. I hear Harry come out after me. I wave down a cab. "Penny! What are you doing? I said I would--" I whirl around, tears tumbling down my face.
"I don't know what I did Harry, but if you need time to think then fine. But I'm not going to be by you just waiting for you to decide if I'm worthy of your attention." Then I hopped in and didn't look back.
It's been a week since the wedding and still no word from Harry. I don't even know if we are dating anymore…that's the point I'm at. I can barely eat. I'm packing up to go home for a few days, taking some time off to just breathe. I'm loading up a cab then I'm off to the train station. Suddenly a car pulls up and I look up to see Harry. "Penny! Where are you going?" I look at him and I just really want to slap him. I mean seriously a week?
"Home for a few days. I need to get away for a bit. Why?" He takes my bags out and I grab them to put them back into the cab.
"Because we need to talk. About a lot of things. So you are not going." I threw the bags in and shut the door, standing in front of it so he won't be able to open it.
"Well whatever it is…I'm sure it can wait since it took you a week already to come over here. I'm sure a few more days won't kill you." He grabs my hand.
"You're mad at me…" I yank my hand out of his.
"Yea Harry I'm mad. Why did it take you so long? You know what…I don't even want to know we can talk when I get back. I have a train to catch." I hop into the cab and for the second time I didn't look back.
Harry's POV
We are at the airport and Penny just got back from visiting her family. She's busy texting and I know I screwed up…big time. Clary is going to kill me. Also Penny just greeted me with a very cold hug. We all anxiously wait for Clary and Niall though. Perrie has some huge news to tell us. Zayn and her are in the corner whispering. Suddenly I see them. Penny instantly runs over and hugs Clary. They quickly get into a deep conversation. I see Clary's eyes land on me and I know I'm in for it. The other girls go over and hug and Clary clearly gushes over the honeymoon. Niall comes over and we all give him a hug. "How was the honeymoon?" Niall just smiles and gets this look in his eyes.
"Amazing…probably the greatest trip I will ever take." Eventually the girls come over and Clary gives us all hugs. Mine felt like it was a forced hug...and I know why. Then we head off to Zayn and Perrie's place. Penny is next to me in my car. I reach over and grab her hand but she moves away. "Penny…please…"
"Please what Harry?" I just sigh and decide to just say it.
"Do you even like me still? Ryan is back and you've cancelled on me like 5 times for him. Even our movie nights…you know I live for those. And you just decided I wasn't important…so I thought…I thought you liked him still and I was just a welcome distraction. But I want this to work because…because I love you Penelope." She grabs my hand and leans over.
"I've been dying to hear you say that. I'm sorry about Ryan…I just…forgot how much I missed him. Though I found out he had different reasons to wanting to hang out all the time. So book me for movie night permanently. I love you too Harold." I smile and kiss her. Her hands fly to my hair and frankly I have half the mind to tell my driver to fuck Zayn and Perrie, I want to take Penny back to my place and show her I love her more than anything.
We get to their place and Penny is back to her bubbly self. The girl that I fell in love with. She's gushing over what she did back at home. I smile at her and kiss her head. "Harry! You're not listening!"
"What? Yes I was. You were saying how your mom got drunk and demanded that you drive back here to get me." She rolled her eyes then we got to their front door and knocked. Zayn came over and welcomed us in. Everyone was already there. Clary looked from me to Penny and I see Penny shoot her the 'thumbs up'. Clary smiles then Niall whispers something that makes her laugh. Niall was always able to make her laugh. They look so happy…I wonder what the future has for Penny and I but right now I'm just happy I didn't lose her.
Clary's POV
Penny has kept me up to date on the whole Harry fiasco. Frankly I was so upset when I got off the plane to hear that this problem still wasn't resolved. But luckily things seem to be okay. I hope for a good long time. Because Harry and Penny are so cute. I have no idea what Zayn and Perrie have to tell us. Are they moving? I have no idea…but I'm still on a honeymoon high. Niall just whispered about our night on the beach in Brazil. We almost got caught going at it in the ocean…Perrie and Zayn stand in front of all of us. "Okay so we have all of our closest friends here to share some lovely news…" Perrie looks at Zayn for him to continue. He takes a breath and looks at us.
"Perrie and I are going to be parents!" I don't think I've ever seen Zayn this happy. Ever. All the girls leap up and hug Perrie, while the guys pat and shake Zayn's hand. Perrie goes on to tell them that she's already into the second trimester. But they wanted to wait to tell us just in case something were to happen. We toast to them and Perrie is just glowing…man I want a kid so badly…but Niall and I need to wait. Plus we have a dog to take care of. I can't wait to see him. I've missed that little guy…well he's not so little anymore.
We finally get home and Cosmo barrels into the house and runs to lay down on his spot on the couch. Niall and I go upstairs to unpack, Cosmo races after us, nearly toppling me over in the process. He keeps going and jumps onto our bed. Niall and I just smile at him. "Cosmo…did you miss us? Huh boy?" I pat my lap and he attempts to squeeze onto it. He's very big now almost fully grown. If we have kids the babies could ride him like a horse. "Mommy missed you too" I lean down and kiss him. I hear Niall laugh and I throw my shoe at him. Cosmo then barks, probably hoping someone will play with him. Niall comes exploding out and Cosmo leaps off to chase him. I run after them and see Niall running around the ground floor I laugh and sit on the stairs. He was going to make a great father. Hopefully soon…I can just see him running around with kids, or playing with them in the backyard. Cosmo eventually laid down and Niall rubbed his belly.
Niall found me watching TV. "Hey beautiful…man what a day." He sits down next to me and pulls me in for a hug.
"I'm so happy for Perrie, she's wanted kids for a while." Niall trails kisses on my jaw and neck.
"I want kids…" He was tracing lazy circles on my hip. I curled into him more. I wanted kids to but it seemed too early for us. I looked up at him and he smiled gently.
"We will have kids…soon." He leaned down and gave me a kiss. It was slow but full of love. I could feel it…in my bones.
"Let's start now." I laugh and push him.
"No. Maybe in a year or so." He pushed me back on the couch and started kissing my jaw.
"A few months?" I laugh and look at him. His eyes are studying me. I play with the hair on his neck, the little whisps that need to be cut but I won't let him because I like to play with them.
"I don't know…I'll see." He bent down and kissed my neck again. But this time he nipped at it. And I grabbed his biceps and a moan escaped. I feel him smile then he keeps on going. I wrap my legs around his waist but then he sits up.
"Nope…next time we have sex…it will be for trying to get pregnant." I gape at him. No way in hell he can wait that long.
"Okay." He smiled then went and started to kiss me, his hand found his way up my shirt. I push him away and smile. "Next time we are having sex will be to get pregnant…which means in a few months." He gapes at me and looks like he did when I showed up at his door drunk out of my mind.
"WHAT?! We are not NOT having sex for months…that's….that's just cruel!" I shrug at him then whistle for Cosmo. Who comes in moments later with his stuffed animal. He lies down in between Niall and I. Niall still is looking at me with a bewildered expression.
I play and cuddle with Cosmo while Niall sits on the other side of the bed pouting. "Oh Niall…what are you five? Stop pouting."
"I'm not pouting…I'm brooding…which is how sexy people pout." I laugh at him while Cosmo curls up into his spot at the foot of our bed. I move over and kiss Niall's cheek.
"No…don't butter me up with kisses…it won't work Clarissa." I kiss the corner of his mouth, and his whole jaw tenses.
"Niall…please…I want my kiss goodnight." He looks at me and kisses my cheek then flops down and gets comfortable for bed. I curl up into his side. He wraps his arms around me because he can't help it. I look up at him and quickly peck his lips. I snuggle back into his chest. All I hear is "Damn it." Then he kisses my head and pulls me closer. "Goodnight Clary"
"Goodnight Ni…I love you…"
"Love you too baby…" I smile happy that he's no longer pouting. But I mean…he set himself up for that one. I slowly drift off thinking about Niall as a father.
Clary has been gone for two weeks. Today she was coming back. Thanks the lord. Pretty much everything that could've gone wrong in my life has over these two weeks.
"Harry…is something wrong?" He looks at me with those bright green eyes. They lost their shine since…since Ryan came back. He shakes his head and keeps dancing with me.
