It Happened One Night *Completed*

08. Telling Him

(A/N - So......I am going to do three updates today.  Chapters 8, 9 and 10!!  Please enjoy my kindness!  hahaha.  Really it's because I am going out of town tomorrow and might not be able to update again until Sunday when I return home.  I have almost completely finished writing this story.  I have 26 chapters completed and there may be about 28 in total.  Anyway......Hope you like chapter 8, lovelies!!!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today is the day.  I have been nervous all morning.  My parents have been giving me words of encouragement, but nothing is really helping.  I mean how can you tell another that their life is possibly about to change forever. 

My dad gave me back the DNA results and I kept it in my desk drawer to show Harry.   My parents left about a half hour ago and in another half hour Harry would be here.

I actually put a good deal of thought into what I was going to say to him but I assumed that once he got here, everything that I practiced would be forgotten.  I also, for some reason, wanted to look good.  Here I am, a guy, about three months pregnant and I am concerned about my appearance.  I decided to wear a pair of jeans, which honestly were now getting a bit snug on me and a somewhat baggy band tee shirt.  I decided that I didn’t want to fully hide the stomach.  You couldn’t obviously see it, but you could tell I had a little ‘gut’.

Just before three, the doorbell rang.  He is here.

“Hey Harry” I greet as I open the door.  “Come in.”

“Thanks.  You have a really nice home.” He comments.

“Thanks.  I hope you didn’t have any trouble finding the place.” I say as I lead him into the kitchen to get us some drinks.  I usher him to sit at the table and go over to the fridge and pull out a bottle of soda and a bottle of water and hold them up for him to choose.  He points to the water and I nod.  I place the soda back in the fridge and pull out an additional water for me and join him at the table.

“No.  I found it just fine.  I actually only live a few miles from here in Archwood Estates.” He says.  I know of Archwood Estates.  That community has really nice homes as well.  My parents were looking in that community before we bought our home in this one.

“Oh, ok.  Yea, that’s really close.” I reply.

After a few moments of silence I speak.

“Would you like to see my room?  We could maybe hang out and watch a movie or something?”

“Umm…sure” he replied while nervously picking at the label on the bottle of water.

We make our way to my room and I take a seat on my bed and he sits in the chair at my desk.  To say that this has started off uncomfortable would be an understatement.  I want to know more about him, I guess, before I dump the pregnancy on him.  I do see him take notice of my stomach, but he has only glanced at it once.

“So….you wanna watch a movie?” he asks

“Well, maybe we could…I don’t know…talk and get to know each other a little bit.” I somewhat mumble.

“Ok” He replies and then I scoot back to the head of my bed and sit with my legs pulled in and crossed.  I motion for him to join and he sits the same way at the foot of my bed.  This is painfully awkward.

“No trivia games” I say with a chuckle to try to relieve some of the weirdness.  He smiles, knowing that I was referring to the physics trivia game we played the night of the party.

“Deal” He says with a smile; a gorgeous smile with dimples that make me melt.

“So, Harry, I guess, tell me a little about yourself.  I mean all I really know is your name, you are Josh’s cousin and have tattoos.”
