"RED? WHAT'S UP?" Harry asked as he entered the bedroom that Laila led him to. He looked around the bedroom that he had slept over plenty of times, and Harry's blue eyes widened when he saw his fiancé sitting on the bathroom with Sophia.
Immediately, Sophia got off the ground and patted Harry's shoulder as she passed him. The blonde grabbed Laila's hand and dragged her out of the room to let the couple have their privacy. Harry took Sophia's spot on the ground, doing his best to not let his jaw absolutely drop when he saw the white stick in Minnie's hand. His mouth moved before his brain could think his words through, whispering, "Holy shit."
"Yeah, holy shit." Minnie repeated back and Harry's hand gripped her thigh affectionately. The redhead's heart skipped a beat at the familiar feeling of the cold rings that decorated Harry's fingers against her skin. Her blue eyes danced over his face, studying him, "What do you think?"
"What do you think?" Harry asked back, squeezing her thigh.
"I asked you first."
"I'm not the one carrying the child for 9 months and then going through labor. It doesn't matter what I think."
Rolling her eyes, Minnie scoffed before shaking her head, staying silent. Harry gave her a look she couldn't see as her head was turned towards the wall. His face gently grabbed her chin, forcing her to face him, "I'm serious, Red. This is all you. If it's too early, it's too early. We can explore other options—
"No, I don't want to do that— I want them," Minnie cut him off as she shook her head and her hand flew to her stomach. She closed her eyes, licking her lips as she tried to hold back her tears.
"Minnie?" Harry called her name softly and she hesitantly opened her eyes, pools of tears blurring her vision. He cupped her face, bringing her to his chest, "Hey, hey it's okay, my love. We'll be fine. You'll be fine. Whatever you need or want, I'm here."
"I'm really scared, H," Minnie sobbed into his chest, her hands gripping his shirt anxiously.
"That's okay, that's totally fine," Harry promised her, kissing her red hair multiple times. "What do you want me to do? How can I help?"
"Please don't leave again," Minnie whispered reluctantly as guilt flooded in her chest while Harry felt the same sensation at her words. "Please don't go on tour again, not for a little while. I'm really sorry, but I want to do this. I want this baby, but I can't do it by myself—"
"No, no, don't apologize," Harry shushed her, shaking his head with a kiss of her forehead. "I was thinking my break should be a little bit longer anyways. The next album can wait. I will be here for you two as long as you want, I promise."

the girl talk house
-february 7th, 2024
"I'M GONNA THROW UP." Sophia mumbled as her hands covered her face as she sat on the couch in the Girl Talk house. Laila stifled a laugh before sitting down with Hailee on a loveseat nearby the couch. The large TV was on and about to begin to play the livestream of the 2024 Oscar nominations.
"That's my job." Minnie grinned sarcastically as her and Harry walked into the living room and sat down on the couch with snacks and drinks in their hands.
"Wait, do you feel like you're gonna throw up?" Harry asked as he sat up and his body tensed at her words. Sophia and Laila exchanged a grin and Minnie shook her head, kissing her fiancée's cheek. Minnie was almost two months pregnant, and Harry had been very, very attentive for all that time— Trying to make pregnancy as easy as possible for her.
"Where is Andrew? He said he would be here earlier then this," Sophia sighed as she checked her phone.
"Speak of the devil," Laila smirked as Andrew unlocked and walked through the door of the Girl Talk house. Sophia turned around immediately before her heart melted at the bouquet of flowers in the Brit's hand.
"Sorry I'm late, lovely, I was getting these," Andrew apologized with his eyes on Sophia before raising the bouquet. He kicked the door open with a smirk, "And picking up these idiots."
The group screamed excitedly as Tom and Zendaya entered the house. Sophia squealed, opening her arms for Zendaya to jump over the couch and give her a hug.
"I'm glad you're here, oh my god," Sophia whispered as Zendaya hugged her tightly.
"Of course, Pia." Zendaya replied as Tom reached over the couch to give the girl a quick hug before sitting next to his girlfriend.
"You didn't have to get me flowers," Sophia whispered to her fiancée as Andrew sat down next to her, wrapping an arm around her.
"Of course I did, they're 'I'm proud of you even if you don't get nominated' flowers," Andrew whispered back, kissing her cheek. "Because I'm proud of you, always, okay?"
"Okay." Sophia nodded as she adjusted her legs to be in Andrew's lap.
The livestream announcing the nominations began shortly after and Sophia joined a Zoom call with her family in Spain so they could be with her in some way. So far, as for TTCOSS, Nina had been nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role meanwhile Xolo and Pedro for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
"And the nominations for Best Actress in a Leading Role are...."
"Oh fuck." Sophia groaned as she put her head in her hands, resting her elbows on her knees.
"Us always." Laila whispered as she placed a hand on Sophia's shoulder, squeezing it.
"We love you." Minnie added in a whisper and Sophia nodded appreciatively towards her best friends, not being able to find her words.
"No olvides, you're magic, mi Luna." Abuela Luna smiled at her granddaughter on the Zoom call and Sophia grinned back, trying not to tear up.
"Hey, I'm always proud of you, and I always love you." Andrew told Sophia softly before slipping her hands into hers, kissing the top of it. Sophia nodded and Andrew kissed her cheek to try and calm her.
"Natalie Portman, May December. Carey Mulligan, Maestro. Greta Lee, Past Lives."
"Please, please," Sophia mumbled into her hand as Andrew squeezed her other hand encouragingly.
"Sophia Luna, To the Children of Spanish Speakers."
"Holy shit!" Laila screamed as Sophia's vision blurred from her tears and her hearing drowned out. She felt Andrew's arms around her, and his lips brushing her forehead. She could hear her friends all clapping and screeching excitedly behind her.
A soft gasp left Sophia's lips as her mind finally caught up. She was nominated for an Oscar. She was an Oscar-Nominee. Her!
"Oh my god," Sophia broke into a huge smile, finally hugging Andrew back. "I got it. I'm nominated. Holy fuck."
"I'm so proud of you, my love," Andrew whispered, kissing her cheek. "You deserve it. Congratulations."
"Congrats bitch!" Laila yelled as her and Minnie took their turn to hug Sophia tightly. Sophia laughed, gladly hugging them back.
Her eyes fell on her Abuela on the computer screen. Luna had tears in her eyes with a bright smile on her before speaking softly, "What did I tell you? Magic."
