Bride to Be
Chapter Seven
Kennedy’s POV
This morning has been amazing if you asked me. The doctor’s appointment that we had could not have went better. Dr. Moore said that the baby was healthy and things were going perfectly. Tonight Harry and I were going to tell our families with Gemma and James. They hadn’t seen us since New Year’s so it was due for a visit. I was so excited that my brother and Gemma were pregnant as well. This meant that hopefully our babies would grow up to be close. I was grinning at the thought of our babies growing up together when I felt Harry’s Range Rover stopped and I noticed we were at the recording studio.
“You ready love?” he asked and I nodded my head.
“Yes,” I said grabbing my purse that had the ultrasound pictures and got out of the car.
“You need to wait,” Harry huffed as I shut the door.
“I’m not dying Harry,” I said, “I can walk.”
There were a lot more paps than usual hanging around but once word gets around that one of the boys are staying home paps come hoping to see some drama unfold. Harry had a tight grip on my hand as we headed indoors. The paps like usual were screaming questions at us but Harry and I politely dodged each and every one of them. When we got inside, I smiled because I saw Simon waiting for us.
“It’s good to see you Kenni,” Simon said smiling at me.
“A pleasure as well Simon,” I said hugging him.
“How are you feeling?” he asked as we then started walking towards the studio.
“Alright,” I said, “I haven’t thrown up today which a blessing.”
Simon then started laughing and I smiled as Harry grinned at the fact that Simon and I seemed to get along so well. I really had to give credit to our personalities. We were kind of the same person so it was easier to get along then if we were complete opposites. When we walked through the door I was immediately attacked in a hug by the girls.
“So!?” Perrie squeaked.
“We have pictures,” I said hugging everyone.
“Yes!” everyone exclaimed.
Harry and I just laughed. Harry passed out one to each couple and then I walked up to Simon and gave him one.
“Kenni?” Simon looked at me confused.
“Well we can’t leave Uncle Simon out on the fun,” I said smiling as Harry came up behind me.
“She wanted you to know everything going on too Simon,” Harry said, “You’re family too.”
Simon for the first time I have ever met him was speechless.
“All time record holder goes to Kennedy Wilker for making Simon speechless!” Louis exclaimed and we all laughed as he pulled him for a hug.
“Thank you,” he whispered in my ear and I nodded my head hugging him back.
He let go of me and then looked at Harry.
“Alright everyone get in the booth and do you’re thing,” he said and Harry nodded and kissed my cheek.
I then made my way to the couch to sit with the girls. As Harry got ready, the girls asked me about the appointment and I gave them the details and they all laughed at Harry’s overprotectiveness.
“So how do you think dinner is going to go tonight?” Eleanor asked and I just shrugged my shoulders.
“They’ll know before we say anything I think,” I said, “because I’m already starting to show. I don’t even know when Harry’s going to tell the fans.”
“You think your parents are going to be mad at you two?” Danielle asked and I shook my head.
“Honestly I think they’ll be more disappointed that we didn’t wait until we were married to have a child but I think after they get over the initial shock they’ll be overjoyed to have two grandbabies,” I said with a small smile.
“Wait James and Gemma are pregnant!” Andrea hushed exclaimed.
I nodded my head and made the girls promise not to say anything because we’re not supposed to tell anyone. They all nodded their heads and I smiled when they all nodded their heads. I was about to say something but we heard the music start and Harry started singing. I smiled I remember telling Harry that they should do at least one cover song on their next album and I mentioned that Fix You by Coldplay was one of my favorite songs.
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse, Harry sang.
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace, Louis sang.
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse? Liam sang.
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you, all of them sung.
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go, Zayn sang.
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth, Niall sang.
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you, all of them sung.
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace, Harry sang.
Tears come streaming down your face
And I Louis sang.
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from all my mistakes, Niall sang.
Tears come streaming down your face
And I, Zayn sang.
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you Liam sang.
When they were done singing, I was completely in awe of the boys in front of me. Hearing them live was great but I have to say they were ten times better in the studio. They seemed to put more heart in their work here because I believed it was more intimate for them to do this here than in front of millions of people. They recorded a few more songs and before long they were done for the day. Harry came out of the booth beaming at me which made me smile widely back.
“So what did you think?” he asked.
“Don’t take this as an insult but you guys sound way better when you record,” I said, “You seem to put just a bit more heart in it.”
“We’re not as nervous,” Harry smiled, “The girls gave us the same answers when they heard us.”
I then checked my phone to see that Harry and I had two hours to kill until we had dinner with our families at a local restaurant. Harry helped me up from the couch and I was passed around for hugs and then each boy lifted up my shirt and kissed my growing belly telling little Styles goodbye from their favorite uncles. The girls all cooed to my stomach and it just caused me and Harry to just smile widely and laugh at their actions. I was really happy that everyone was excited about the baby and they supported mine and Harry’s decision one hundred percent. It really helped us over the last few weeks when we were trying to find a way to tell our parents. We were about to leave when Simon called us over.
“Harry, Kenni can you wait a minute?” he asked and we both nodded our heads.
“What did you need Si?” Harry asked.
“Well management and I were talking and we were wondering when you wanted us to put out a release about you and Kenni having a baby,” he said and Harry looked over at me and squeezed my hand.
“When do you want them to do it love?” he asked and I thought about it for a minute.
“How about tomorrow,” I said, “I want to tell our families first before everyone else finds out. It’s better that they hear from our mouths and not the papers.”
“You better keep her around Styles,” Simon said, “She’s got a good head on her shoulders.”
That caused me to blush and Harry to grin showing his loveable dimples once again. He pulled me close to him and kissed my temple.
“Trust me Simon, I’m not letting her get away from ever again,” he said, “Twice was way too many times.”
“Tell me about it,” Simon scoffed and I just laughed at him and Harry.
“We should get back to flat and freshen up Harry,” I said, “We have to be at the restaurant in a couple of hours.”
Harry nodded his head. We said goodbye to Simon and then headed back to Harry’s Range Rover. When we got to the lobby, we saw everyone still waiting on us.
“Why didn’t you guys leave?” Harry asked.
“Paps are crawling out there,” Liam said, “We want to make sure you and Kenni get to your car safely.”
“Daddy Direction has the best daddy gene ever!” I exclaimed and everyone laughed at my comment.
“He does,” Harry said.
Harry was about to make a comment but then realized we were out in public and smiled nodding his head. We then all opened the lobby door and made our ways to our cars. We were parked in between Liam and Zayn so we were lucky enough that we didn’t park too far from everyone. I got in the car and Harry rushed around so we could home. Thankfully when we did get home, there weren’t any paps out in the open which was fine with me. We walked into the flat and both Harry and I collapsed on the couch.
“Today was a bit long,” I said looking up at him since I collapsed on top of his lap.
“It was a bit long,” he said, “And we’re still not done.”
“We should change,” I said as he played with my hair.
“I don’t want to get up,” he said throwing his head back on the couch.
“Neither do I,” I said, “but we need to dress decent.”
“Fine,” he said, “but I have something you need to wear. I went and had the girls help me pick it out.”
He then hopped off the couch and helped me up off the couch. Harry dragged me to the bedroom and then disappeared in the closet and came out with a red maternity dress (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=83944203).
“The girls helped me pick out some clothes for you when you’re beautiful belly gets bigger but I thought this would help you feel less pregnant because I know you’re squeezing in your jeans now,” he said quickly, “Please don’t be mad.”
I then just laughed and pulled Harry in for a hug and a kiss. When we parted he was grinning yet again.
“I think its very sweet,” I said, “Now go get changed and hopefully we can get this done sooner.”
Harry then pecked my lips one more time and disappeared into the closet. I quickly changed and headed into the bathroom to change my hair and then walked back into the room to find Harry changed and he was holding a pair of black sandals for me.
“Sit,” he said, “I’ll put them on.”
I smiled at him and did as I was told.
“Maybe I should get pregnant more often,” I giggled, “You do everything for me.”
“I wouldn’t mind have more of yous running around this flat,” he smiled, “But we just need one me so they can protect them when I’m not around.”
I just shook my head and he got me back on my feet and we headed down to the restaurant. On the way there Harry and I were both nervous. The only sound was coming from the radio that Harry had put on so it would try to be a distraction for us but we were still nervous. Harry and I had our fingers intertwined with each other’s. Harry’s focus was on the road and my focus was outside of my window. Usually we had some small chit-chat going on but tonight we were just worried that our families would flip and get mad at us which was a huge stress. I was bouncing my right leg a bit and Harry gave my hand a reassuring squeeze which made me look at him and he smiled at me.
“Everything is going to be fine love,” he said, “They’re going to be happy for us.”
“I sure hope so babe,” I said, “I don’t think I can handle it if they aren’t.”
“Positive thoughts,” he said, “You just have to think positive.”
I just nodded my head and let out a sigh and he gave me a lopsided grin in which I returned a small smile. We then pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant and we saw both Gemma and James waiting for us outside. It was no or never for us and I was really hoping that everything would work out for both of us because if it didn’t, we would be relying on each other a lot more than we ever had in the past.
