Fate

Chapter 20

HARRY'S POV

"Liam and Taylor called and they want to come over." Stella says to me.

"Do you mind?"

"No, that's fine. I wanted to hang out with Liam anyways." I say being honest.

I need to talk to Taylor about Stella and who she is. It kills me to know I'm going to have a child with some body I barely know.

"I'll tell them." She says calmly.

Why would she just walk out like that. I don't understand her sometimes.

I hope she's taking care of herself.

STELLA'S POV

"Harry, What about Niall and Zayn? Taylor texted me and asked if they could come too." I say hoping he won't freak out.

"They want to come?" He asks curiously.

"Yeah, since we didn't get to meet them at the club that night..." I say suddenly remembering that was the night I got pregnant.

"What?" Harry says seeing the puzzled look on my face.

"Nothing." I say. I then hear the front door knocking.

"Stella open up! I brought a small gift for you!" Taylor says knocking louder and louder.

"Alright." I say fluffing my hair.

"You look fine." Harry says smiling at me.

I ignore his comment and open the door.

"Oh my gosh Stel! You look great!" she says handing me a small candle.

"Thanks Taylor! Whats the candle for?" I ask taking it out of her hand.

"It's for the apartment...duh." she says rolling her eyes and smiling.

I feel very awkward because its not my place. I look at Harry with confusion as he says "Thank you." to Taylor and Liam.

"Taylor I-" I try to say until Liam interrupts me.

"Harry, how have you been?" Liam asks Harry.

"Erm, I've been well, just relaxing." Harry says.

"And you Stella, you okay?" Liam says. I can tell he's looking at my stomach as if theres already a bump.

"I'm fine." I say giving him a warm smile.

"Thats good, " he says.

"Zayn and Niall are on their way."

"Okay, well take a seat. Make yourselves comfortable." Harry says waving his arm out.

I thought he only meant that to me. I mean I hate to sound rude and selfish but when he said that it felt a little special.

"So Stel, you feeling anything?" Taylor says while rubbing her shoulder.

"No, just really nauseous." I admit.

I seem to keep forgetting that I'm pregnant.

"Me and Liam are gonna go to the store, need anything?" Harry asks while putting his thick black coat on.

"No, thanks though." I say smiling at the offer.

"You?" Liam says looking at Taylor.

"No babe,I'm fine." she says running her hand through her short choppy brown hair.

They both leave in Harry's car.

Taylor looks at me with confusion.

"What were you going to say earlier?" she says fiddling with her hair more.

"Well...I was going to say it's not my apartment. Its not like we both pay rent." I admit to not only her, but myself.

"Was bringing a little home decoration bad?" She asks.

"No." I say.

"Stella, you don't have to think of it that way." She says while shrugging.

"But its true. I don't really live here with him. I guess I'm just staying here because my mom practically kicked me out." I remind myself.

"Oh shit. She did?" she says resting her head on her hand.

"Yeah...and she won't give me money. Thank God I saved up all these years." I say with relief.

"How much?" she asks.

"Well in my savings account I think about 1,700. I never use my money unless i really need to. In my checking account I think about 920 something." I say.

"And your worried about what exactly?" she says.

"Running out of money. I need a job." I say shrugging.

"Not now." Taylor says.

"I don't know yet." I say.

I hear a knock on the door. Maybe Harry forgot his phone or something.
