Harry's POV
I toss over in bed, trying to wrap my arm around Mus' waist. However, I don't feel anything. Startled, I get up, and look around our room. There's some sunlight, streaming in through the half open blinds. The bathroom door is open, and the light isn't on. She isn't in there for sure. Maybe, she—
"Finally! You're up." Liam says, entering my room. I look at him, puzzled. Why the hell didn't I lock the door last night? Suddenly, I remember all that happened yesterday. I'm going to be a father. I can't think of anything else - I'm going to be a father.
"Hello!" Liam says, waving his hand in front of my face.
"Where's Mus?" I ask him, anxiously. Maybe she took the news even worse than I did, and ran away.
"In the hospital." Liam says, not meeting my gaze. So, they all know.
"Is anyone with her?"
"Harry, we're not stupid. Of course, we've left Louis and Niall with her."
"Good," I murmur. I know I should be rushing to get to the hospital, and be there for Mus. However, I need time to think. Yesterday, I was shocked, and in that shock I made some foolish mistakes. Like getting drunk.
"Are you alright?" Liam asks me, his voice laced with fear. I wonder why he's so timid? I'm not going to pounce on him.
"Honestly, I don't know." How the hell will I raise a family? How will I clean up my child's mess? I can barely clean up after myself.
"Hello!" Louis yells, shoving my room door open. Subtly, Louis looks toward Liam, and Liam shrugs. I don't know why, but today, even this is infuriating.
"How's he holding up?" Louis whispers, as he sits down. However, his voice wasn't low enough.
"I don't know, really." Liam whispers back, grimacing.
"Can you both stop talking about me, please? I don't understand what's wrong with you? I'm fine! Nothing's changed. I'm simply becoming a father - a father! This point had to come sometime in my life, and here it is. The earlier the better, right?" My meltdown has shocked the both of them. "I'm fine," I mutter. I drop my head into my hands, groaning. Even though I'm saying I'm fine, I know I'm not. They know it too. No matter how much I try, I won't be able to mask my worry, and stress. I'm becoming a father, for heaven's sake. I feel someone's hand on my shoulder, and I try to shrug it off. However, it's a vain attempt.
"Look up. Harry, look up." Liam says, soothingly. I lift my head, staring straight into their eyes. Louis and Liam's eyes are clouded with worry.
"It'll be fine." Louis says, solemnly.
"How?" I say, my voice breaking.
"You're both going to be in this together." Liam says, and Louis nods.
"Think about Mus. It's a shock for her, as well." Liam nods his head, agreeing with Louis. They're right! It's definitely shocking for the both of us.
"I - I can't take her to London." I say, groaning. Great, just what I wanted; another problem.
"Harry, calm down. I know this is confusing, but you can't think about leaving Mus." Liam says, looking towards Louis for help.
"Yeah. She makes you so happy. Heck, you're changing because of her." Louis says, looking appalled.
"You guys aren't understanding my point. I can't take her."
"Harry, you're overreacting!" Liam says, raising his voice.
"Shut up! I'm not overreacting. I was taking a risk by taking her, anyway. Now if I take her and the thing that's growing inside her, we're all dead. Just imagine if Reggie finds out. I would've handled the situation with Mus alone, but I can't risk two lives." Realization dawns on their faces, and they finally understand my point.
"You can't leave her, either." Louis says, quietly. His voice was barely audible. "She's pregnant with your child, a part of you. Harry, you can't simply dump her." His voice rises a few octaves, and he looks at me, as if I'm a murderer. He's right! I can't simply dump her like that. She's carrying a part of us. Our child. I can't let anything harm either of them.
"Can you guys please exit the room? I need to think this through." Louis and Liam, silently exit my room. I get off the bed, and take a seat near a window. I pull my legs up, near my chest and push my head between them. I don't know how long I sat there, pondering. When I raise my head and check the watch, I realize it's nearly four in the evening. Getting up, I realize that I've made a decision.
