Annabeth Styles POV.

I ran away faster than I had pushed Harry away when Riden had first told me he wanted me pregnant. I got up from where I sat next to him, and ran to the garden. I heard him call my name, but I didn't want to see him. I couldn't get away from him though. His baby was inside of me. I kept running, but I couldn't get away. I needed Harry, but I wouldn't dare go near the house. Riden would see me and wish to talk. I don't want to talk to him.

So I settled for the next best thing, and I went to the spot Harry had shown me the night of the shooting star. I sat on the damp grass, and hugged me knees. It was miserably cold, but I didn't care. He had wanted to kiss me that night, and I had been to naïve to see it at the time. Now I wanted him to find me and save me from this nightmare.

And Harry Styles being Harry Styles, he most definitely found me...

He had a thick blanket in his hand. He sat next to me, and wrapped it around the two of us. He took my hands in his, and blew on them in an attempt to warm them. I shuttered when I felt him place a gentle kiss on my knuckle.

"He told me as well Annabeth." He whispered to me. I let out a small whimper at what he said. He sighed, and pulled me to him.

"I don't want this. It's not even Riden anymore Harry. I don't mind him as much as I use to. If anything he's actually lightened up quite a bit. Its not him Harry, it's you. If you weren't here I wouldn't care. But you are here, and I want to be with you. I want to wake up to you in the morning. I want to have your baby. It's you Harry, and I'm scared because of that." I told him. He remained quiet for awhile, and seemed unsure of what to do with himself. Behind his greens eyes there was an image of a tired man. Like this was it, and he just wanted to sleep. He was emotionally exhausted.

"Annabeth I love you, and I'm not going to act like I don't. Things are different now though. Riden's right though we can't do this now that a child is involved. I love you Annabeth, but maybe it's best if Delilah and I go back to California." Harry told me. I let out a sob at his words. He got up, and started to walk away, but I grabbed his hand. I held on to it for dear life, and he turned to look at me.

"You can't leave me Harry! I need you, I... I love you, and you can't just leave me again!" I cried out. He sighed and bent down on his knees. He took my hands in his, and placed a kiss on them.

"Annabeth sweetheart you asked me to leave the first time. That's what you wanted of me. I left for the first time because of this right here. You were right my love, we can't do this being as you shall have a family with my brother." He told me gently. I let out another cry, and began to feel my body shake. He can't leave me again. I don't want to have a family with Riden. I love Harry not Riden. I understand it now im madly in love.

"I made a mistake sending you away! I love you! I want you to love me!" I cried out. He tilted his head, and gave me a small smile.

"Annie I already do love you dear. Stop your crying now baby girl, I do love you. More than a fish loves water." He told me. I shook my head, and roughly kissed him. I held his cheeks in my hands. When a surprised Harry didn't kiss me back, I pulled away from him.

"No Harry I want you to love me. I don't want anything else in the world. I want to feel you love me." I whispered to him. He frowned his eyebrows, and rubbed his hand up and down my thigh. I leaned closer to him which my his hand move up even further.

"Just for tonight Annie. I'll show you how a man loves a woman, but after that you must be logical. After tonight no more." He told in a serious tone. I frowned, but nodded my head. He leaned forward, and pressed his lips to my own. Just as I had requested, he made slow, passionate love to me all night long.

When we had finally finished, we lay wrapped in the blanket. We held on to each other tight seeking one another's warmth. Harry had made me feel things I had never felt before. He not only sent me skyrocketing over my climax, but he made me feel like the only woman in the world. For one more night I was his, and he was mine.

"I love you so much Annabeth." Harry to me, his voice cracking. I felt a tear hit my shoulder. I held tighter on to his chest, and cuddled deeper into him.

"I love you too Harry. I don't care what the circumstances may be, I'm going to fight for us. Whether I'm pregnant or not." I told him. He let out one of his dramatic sighs. I felt his finger tips brush across my shoulder. I let my eyes close, and fell asleep.

One Month Later...

Riden Styles POV.

"How can she only be for weeks pregnant, considering a month ago you told me she was six weeks pregnant?" I asked mine Annabeth's doctor beginning to get impatient. Annabeth was currently out with mum, who has been more persistent on bonding with my wife since finding out the news. One thing I had been grateful for is Harry has since steered clear of Annabeth.

"Well Mr. Styles it appears we had made a mistake, she hadn't been pregnant is. She most definitely is now though. That's not the troubling news I wished to tell you though..." The doctor told me, nervously messing with his white coat. I leaned forward on his desk, wanting to know why the man had really called me in here for. He knew I could have his job in a spilt second if I didn't like the next words that came out of his mouth.

"Then please doctor tell me why I'm here." I said through a clenched jaw. The man swallowed, and ran a hand nervously through his salt and pepper hair. My eyes lowered as I noticed he had started tapping his foot uncontrollably.

"Mr. Styles you are unfertile, your wife... Well... The baby was almost a complete match to your DNA, but not quite. Your wife's pregnant, but it's not physically possible for it to be yours... I assuming that's why you were having so much trouble in the first pl..." I cut the doctor off by standing up, and slamming my fist on the table. What the hell does he mean, almost a complete match.

"Doctor you better use your next words carefully, but you also better stop being so god damn vauge!" I yelled at him, feeling the blood rush to my face. My fist twitch wanting to take all of this anger out on the man.

"Mr. Styles the child your wife is carrying inside of her only matches your DNA enough to be maybe a nephew or a niece. At first I thought this might have been a mistake, but I took a closer look at you DNA and your unfertile. You can't have children Mr. Styles, and that baby is most certainly not yours." The doctor finished. He waited for my reaction, but all I could do was laugh. I could tell it made him uneasy, but I didn't care.

A niece or a nephew huh?

Oh joy I am to be an uncle!

Now who should I kill first my brother or my wife?

Annabeth Styles POV.

"I would think you would have a bump by now being ten weeks in." Anne mused, patting my stomach. I shrugged my shoulders, and sat my bags down. Anne has been wanted to take me shopping, out to eat, and a million other things since she found out. I was about to answer, but then I felt a familiar uneasy feeling in my stomach.

Damn morning sickness...

I darted for the bathroom, and emptied my brunch into the toilet. Anne came in and gasped, taking my hair and pulling it back. I think this is the worst part of the whole ordeal. I was always a healthy person, so I wasn't used to feeling so sick. Riden would try to comfort me, but I found myself shying away from my husband more and more each day. When i finished she got my toothbrush for me, and I smiled and thanked her.

"Don't worry doll, give it another month or so, and the morning sickness will go away." She said encouragingly. I smiled again, and we went into the kitchen. Gemma was sitting on a stool, and glaring at me. Even though I was pregnant with her niece or nephew, she still hadn't taken I liking to me. I gave her a smile, and she simply rolled her eyes, and went back to her phone.

I heard a door slam, and my husband entered the room. Something was definitely wrong with him. I have seen Riden mad before, but this was different. He wasn't Riden who was angry, he was an empty body who was only filled with rage. His eyes were glowing, veins were popping out, and his face was red.

"Riden darling is everything alright?" His mother asked him uneasily. He glance at her, and then his eyes shot right back at me. Even Gemma seemed uneasy, and for the first time ever she seemed worried about me. Riden then lunged at me, and pushed me against the wall. Just like the day of our wedding, my arms were tightly pinned above my head. I felt fear. My newly developed instinct told my to cover my stomach, but I couldn't move.

"RIDEN WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING! LET GO OF HER YOU'LL HURT YOUR BABY!" Anne yelled, and it sounded like she had started to cry. He ignored his mother yet again. I heard a door open, and Harry walked in. His eyes went from relaxed to bewildered when he saw us. Gemma was now on her feet. She cautiously walked to her brother, and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Let go of her Riden. I'm not her biggest fan, but mum is right. Now come on let's me and you go talk about it." Gemma said, speaking calmly as if any second her brother might explode. It was a good thing she was because he looked like a ticking time bomb.

"I don't want to talk anymore Gem. See I've tried talking to her, but no. That was never good enough." Riden said his voice emotionless. He let go of my wrist, and backed away from me. Before he did he pushed me back, and I fell down. He went over to his office bag, and pulled out some papers. Harry moved towards me, and Riden's head shot up.

"No you stay Harry there. You stay right where the fuck you are bastard." Riden snapped at him. Gemma looked between her two brothers, and then at me. Her worry went away just as quickly as it came. He face scrunched back up into hate, and I was given an accusing glare.

"Riden don't talk about you brother lik..." Anne started but stopped when Riden threw the pile of papers at me.

"Im sure your all so very curious why I'm so mad! Oh especially you Annabeth! You see the thing is I'm a barren man, but you Annabeth your not. You can have the kids you want. So I went to the doctor, and sure enough your most definitely pregnant. This didn't make since to me at first because I can't impregnate a woman." Riden started, and trailed off into a crazed laugh. He looked over to Harry, and started to walk towards him. Anne gave me a confused look, and then looked to her son.

"See the most interesting thing the doctor told me is that I have similar DNA to that child. Not enough for it to be mine, but maybe enough for me to be its uncle. That being said I'll say whatever I wish to the man who claims to be my brother." Riden said, now in Harry's face. I gasped, and put my hand over my mouth. Harry looked at me, our eyes connecting. I felt a tear fall down my cheek, and a hand go to my stomach.

"She's ten weeks pregnant, thats not possible Riden." Harry said, swallowing. Riden laughed at him, amd shook his head.

"That's what you say?! Listen to him he cant deny it! You slept with my wife, amd that's all you have to say!?" He yelled in a jocular tone. Harry looked to back towards me. He had a apologetic look in his eyes. My head shot to the ground when I saw the disappointed look Anne and Gemma wore.

"She never wanted this Riden. Not only that, but I've seen what you've done to her. We've all seen it. Mum Gemma don't look at her like she's the devil you've seen the bruises, and broken bones since day one. Maybe if you treated her like a woman she wouldn't have felt the need to run off to another man. Yeah Riden that's all I have to say, I feel no guilt in it whatsoever." Harry told him, his head rising offering his brother a challenge. Riden took it, reared back his fist, and hit Harry. He stumbled back slightly, and I let out a screech. Riden ran over to me before Harry could regain his balance. He took my arm, and pulled me over to the basement stairs.

"If I can't have my happy little family, neither can you!" Riden yelled at him. Harry started to run towards me, but it was too late. He pushed me down the stairs, and I held my stomach for dear life.

Bump.

Bump.

Pain.

Thwack.

More pain.

Bang.

Darkness...

Notes

I DID IT IVE UPDATED!!! *Lady Gaga's Applause plays in the background* So the reason it took me so long is this chapter itself was two different chapters I had started, and I couldn't pick which one I liked the best to finish... So I just mixed them together. Anyways I do have midterms coming up, so I don't know when I'll be able to update again. I will say I'm trying to get on a more consistent schedule, so hopefully you won't have to wait so long again...

All the Love,

~JR
