We're going to be Parents?

“So what was that gift Harry bought you?” I pressed Louis that night in bed.

“Secret Curly haired business” was his smart a*s response.

“Come on, you can tell me.” I rubbed my fingers against his abs; he kissed me on the forehead but wouldn’t budge on the secret.

“It was a gift from my male lover, I’m sorry but that is not something to share with future wives.” He chucked, quite smug that he could get away with keeping this from me.

“I could just go and snog him again to see if that would get the answer out of him.” I cheekily tried to bribe him.

“Go ahead.” Drats, he didn’t take the bait.

“I’ll do it in the morning, I’m already toasty warm in here.” Which was true, it was so much warmer in bed with Lou than in the cold hallway that I would have to walk through to get to Harry.

“That’s more like it, a girl who is too lazy to cheat on me.” He joked, and snuggled into me.

“Lou?”

“Yeah Babe?” he asked me.

“We could be parents in a few days.” I whispered softly, it was a scary thought that. I mean I had to eject a child out of my body very soon, and then I’d have responsibility over a human life, I’d have to change its nappies and feed it and give it a name. I was going to be a mother and Lou was to be a father, he’d be the fun one, which would then make me the boring one who spoilt all the fun, I didn’t know if I’d be able to do that but for Lou I was definately willing to try.

“Are you as scared as I am?” he asked me, and relief suddenly fell over me, it was strangely comforting that he was as unprepared for this as I was, it made me feel at ease knowing that we were both in the same boat and would be able to help each other out when the time came.

“I’m so scared, but I know we can do it. If we get married I know that it will only make everything more perfect than it already is Lou, I love you and I can’t believe we are having this baby. If you had said to me that day at the signing back when I was 16 that I was going to be having your child in a few years time i would have asked you what you’d been smoking.”

“If you had told me that I’d be proposing to you via serenade on a plan to Australia, I would have called security to come and collect you.” We both laughed quietly, it was so unbelievable how our lives had turned out, but to be completely honest with you, from the very first day I had met him briefly at that signing I knew that he was my ideal man.
