"Ready?" Harry asked as he stood buttoning his blazer running a hand through his hair tugging it mostly to one side
"Yeah" Alexis said getting up from her desk grabbing her purse
They were heading lunch with Niall and another business associate
They stepped out walking to the elevator together ,they didn't hold hands and they didn't speak on the way down
It's been 2 days since Alexis told Harry there was a possibility she was pregnant- he just hasn't been acting the same towards her
She slipped into the car first crossing her legs buckling up Harry got in putting on his seat belt
Hanley took notice of the difference in their behavior immediately, this was the first time he's gotten them in the car together and Alexis hasn't started to joke around n' giggle and that Harry hasn't made some sort of physical contact with her "Ms.Dixion?"
"Yes?" She answered
"Uh you said you have an appointment on the 29th correct?"
"Yes"
"What time was that for again? I just wanna double check I have it right" he didn't know why she was going to the doctor but he knew he was the one taking her there
"8 am, so leaving for 7:30 should be fine"
"Alright thank you" he smiled at her through the rear view mirror
"How are you Hanley?" She asked politely
"I'm okay how are you?" He asked back
"I could be better" she smiled, there was no point in lying
He pulled up at the entrance and Harry slipped out first offering his hand to Alexis but she got out ignoring it
he looked down at his hand he let out a sigh he just closed the door instead
"BABE!" Alexis smiled widely as Niall waved obnoxiously to her from the opposite side of the room she waved back making her way over excitedly
"Ni!" She laughed giving him a quick hug then looked at the man beside him
Black hair that was gelled, styled perfectly with a clean trimmed black scruff on his sculpted face, his eyes were chocolate brown staring right into her green ones "hi I'm Alexis Dixon" she offered him her hand
"Zayn Malik" he shook it
"What do you do?" She asked as she took the seat opposite Niall
"I own a modeling company" he answered
"Oh wow" she gasped
Finally Harry joined them sitting across from Zayn unbuttoning his blazer as he sat he looked at Zayn "hey mate"
"Hey" he nodded back to Harry
"What are doing in the US?" Harry asked
"Hoping you'd do a shoot for me-finally" he cocked an eyebrow
Harry laughed drily dropping his face "really Zayn"
Zayn smiled softly "my girl had the baby a few months ago and she wanted to come back so her family could meet the baby in person"
Harry gasped softly his jaw dropping "oh" he leaned across the table offering Zayn a hand "right congrats man what's her name?"
"Khai" he shook Harry's hand "she's perfect man"
"I can only imagine I bet she'll look just her mother" Harry praised
"I have a picture, would you like to see?" Zayn pull out his phone
"Yeah! please" Harry said eagerly a small smile forming on his face
Alexis couldn't help but be bitter she glared at Harry he was more than fucking happy that his friend had a baby but even the idea that he might be having one was enough to make him recoil from Alexis in revulsion
she leaned in to see Zayn's Baby as well and she was precious
Alexis cooed softly Harry looked back at Alexis his smile fell he sat back in his chair "tell Gigi I wish her the best and to expect something from me soon" Harry still sounded cheerful even though he was no longer smiling
Niall noticed this exchange and he paired that with the fact Harry wasn't gushing about her to Zayn, groping, and kissing all over her he knew something was wrong
"Babe?" Niall asked Alexis looked at him "come with me for a sec" he nodded his head toward the door
Harry heard and grabbed her hand as she stood to follow "where are you going?" He asked looking at Niall
"I just wanna ask her about a gift I might get for Jennifer" Harry begrudgingly let her go and Niall led her toward the bathrooms
Harry watched them from his peripheral while he tried to pay attention to what Zayn was telling him
Niall leaned on the wall "what's wrong?"
Alexis frowned "what?" He didn't answer "What about the thing for Jennifer?" She tried to get back on topic
"That was a lie, why are you and Harry looking like you're ready to attack each other"
She rolled her jaw crossing her arms "I'm just mad him"
"Why? what has he done?" Niall pressed
She bit her lip "I-I... I think I'm pregnant"
Niall went wide eyed "what really?"
She nodded she gasped as he pulled her into a tight hug making her smile she wiggled her arms free to wrap them around him "that's amazing congrats babe" he squeezed her he pulled away holding her arms
"I'm not sure though I still have to go to the doctor" she clarified
"Still very exciting innit?" He chuckled rubbing her arms "so what's wrong with him? He's pissy and brooding at the thought that he might be a dad now and he's got to wait to find out mm?" Niall smirked knowing he was probably hitting the nail on the head
"No" she shook her head she frowned deeply "he's upset, he got mad at me when I told him"
He frowned "what?"
She nodded "yeah and I'm just-" she closed her eyes trying to avoid the angry tears she felt starting to prick her eyes "I'm so pissed because Zayn has a baby and you saw how excited he got but... he is treating me different" she opened her eyes
He shook his head "different how?"
"H-he isn't touching me or kissing me or anything"
Niall looked toward Harry then back down at the woman in his arms who was looking up at him oh so sadly "do I have to go kick his ass?"
She was surprised at his answer "n-no! you don't" she shrugged "I just hope he'll calm down once we have the answer"
Niall rolled his jaw "right... do you want me to talk to him?"
"No it's okay... we haven't talked about it"
"When did you tell him?"
"Uh 2 days ago"
"And he hasn't said anything about the baby since? Hasn't apologized? Hasn't explained himself? Nothing?" Niall growled getting more and more upset by his friend's behavior toward the woman in his life
"No" Alexis answered realizing he was only getting more worked up
Niall nodded rubbing her arms again "when do you go to the doctor?"
"6 days from now... that was the soonest I could get in"
"Okay" he sighed softly knowing it probably wasn't going to get any better for her till then "let me know when you find out please"
She nodded smiling sweetly "of course Ni"
They walked back to the table and Harry looked Niall debating on asking him why he felt the need to touch Alexis the whole time they talked but he just settled for putting his hand on Alexis's lap
