《The Ballet Shoes》Big News

Today was the day. The one month scan to check on their little bean. Harry's stomach was now noticeable and he loved how small and cute it was. He smiled at Louis who was scribbling in his journal. Harry sat up carefully resting his head on Louis' shoulder.
"Morning sleeping beauty, sleep well?" Louis asked knowing Harry was tossing about through the night.
"No, I couldn't get comfortable even when you layed on me this baby just wouldn't have it last night." Harry whined holding his stomach.
Louis put the pen in his journal marking the place. Then bent down to Harry's stomach.
"You need to let mummy sleep daddy doesn't want mummy cranky." he kissed his belly gently.
"We gotta get ready the appointment is in a hour." Harry said smiling.
"Let's get this show on the road then." Louis said hopping out of bed walking to the bathroom.
Harry could hear the water turning on. He got dressed, he put on some sweatpants and a baggy shirt, because those were the only things that seemed comfortable to him at the moment. He went to the kitchen grabbing himself a large glass of water so they could see the baby good. That's what he had to do drink a big thing of water. He couldn't wait.
Louis was more excited than Harry, he was over the moon about it all. He couldn't stop smiling he scooped up the keys.
"Ready?" he chirped as he walked the kitchen.
"Of course." Harry smiled.
This time they decided to take Louis' car. They arrived a few minutes early and naturally Harry's nerves went crazy again. He bounced his leg up and down.
"Don't be so nervous." Louis said putting his hand on Harry's knee.
"I can't help it, it's just everytime I come in here I think the worst thing could happen because that's what the doctor told me. The first time I learned about the unique part of me." Harry said lowly.
"Hope for the best baby." Louis assured him.
"Harry Styles?" Martha called from the door.
They stood and Louis grabbed Harry's hand giving it a squeeze. They followed her straight to a scan room. Harry climbed on the bed and layed down. Louis didn't let go of his hand.
"Can't wait to see the baby." Louis almost squealed.
"Me either." Harry smiled.
Dr. Fraiser walked in squirting some disinfectant on his hands rubbing them together.
"Right let's have a look." he said flipping on the machine.
Harry rolled his shirt up and Dr. Fraiser squirted the gel onto his stomach. He moved the piece around finding the heartbeat.
"Their's your baby," Dr. Fraiser said pointing it out "do you have a tape or disk?"
Louis nodded handing him a disk. Dr. Fraiser put it on hitting the button to record.
Harry looked at the baby tears in his eyes. You're so perfect. Harry mouthed at the screen.
"Um doctor," Louis chimed with glazed eyes "can you not send the information to his mother?"
"As long as Harry here says no I can't send anything." Dr. Fraiser said pulling the disk out.
"No I don't want you to send anymore information about our baby to her okay?" Harry said "in fact take her name off the consent form, from now on I give myself, and my boyfriend Louis here permission to get information."
"Very well then." Dr. Fraiser said.
"Thank you."
"Everything looks good, I'll see you at your 3 month mark." Dr. Fraiser said.

"Is there anyway we could find out the sex of the baby when we come back then?"
"If I can tell by then of course you can know but if I can't then no." Dr. Fraiser answered honestly.
Louis was in awe staring at the baby moving on the screen. He had tears in his eyes.
"Right well you two love birds have a great day." Dr. Fraiser said removing the piece from his stomach making the picture disappear, he didn't sound too serious with tone of wishing them a good day.
Harry looked at Louis who blinked a few times and snapped back into reality. Harry wiped the gel off with a napkin. He grabbed the pictures from the doctor and left. He really should change doctors. He didn't really trust Dr. Fraiser anymore.
"Martha, do you know of any good doctors?" Harry asked on the way out.
"Dr. Jud." Martha wrote the name of the office down with the number on a piece of paper.
"Thank you love and cancel all my things with him and get them transferred to that office over there please." Harry said politely.
"Is there something wrong?" Martha asked low so no one could hear except Louis and him.
"Yeah there's a lot wrong I'd be lying if I said there wasn't. So please just do it." Harry gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and left.
"Harry babe stop." Louis knew Harry was crying.
A crack of thunder made them both jump, then it started to rain hard.
"Babe let's get in the car." Louis said.
"I'm tired of her snaking her way into everything." Harry cryed as they got in the car.
"I know," Louis paused "I know."
"I can't trust my own damn doctor, because my mother has got into his head too," Harry cryed harder "just for once," Louis pulled Harry into the middle hugging him "just for once I'd like my mum to treat me the same as Gemma, the way she did before they found the unique thing about me, the way she did before I started ballet, the way....." Harry cryed harder.
"I know baby I know please don't cry." Louis caressed his cheek.
"I just want my mum Louis I want her back." Harry cryed.
This made Louis cry. He knew the pain of wanting someone their and not having them. He knew what it was like to lose someone because you did something they didn't like, but what he didn't know was how to act like he wasn't bothered by what his own family thought of his unique part.
"Harry look at me." Louis said.
Harry looked at him with glazed eyes.
"I think you're damn beautiful! In fact I think you're perfect. I hate myself everyday for making you feel any less than that." Louis looked at the windshield as the rain kept pounding down.
"I'm sorry." Harry said wiping his eyes.
"Don't be." Louis gave him a smile.
They drove home in silence. Louis kept his hand on Harry's stomach like always and Harry stared at the picture of the baby. He smiled at the picture thinking hard about the baby and how happy it be.
"I have to work tonight Haz so I may be late morning getting home." Louis spoke as he parked.
"Okay."
Inside Louis watched the game of footie on the TV while Harry cleaned up the apartment a bit. He joined Louis on the couch after he got the second to last load of clothes in the wash.

A few hours later Harry was left alone. He hated being alone. Especially since he grew used to being with someone for last month. Liam kept texting him and for some reason he wanted to text him back.
Can we meet?
Harry hit send and waited. It had been a month since he talked to Liam.
Of course! Where and when?
Harry swallowed nervously.
I'm starved so I'll meet you at the London Bistro
Okay
Harry locked the apartment and texted Louis to tell him he was going out to meet Liam and he wouldn't be long. Louis replied back saying keep our angel safe and be careful. He arrived before Liam so he got them a table and waited. Ten minutes later Liam came. He spotted Harry and smiled and waved but Harry didn't acknowledge him.
"Harry you haven't replied to me at all and you, I heard you moved in with him why in bloody hell would you do that so soon?"
The waiter walked over and they gave their orders. Harry looked at the scan pictures underneath the table.
"There you go again. Acting like your my owner or something and your not. Your my best friend you should be happy for me." Harry spoke.
"I am happy for you." Liam said not looking at him.
"We'll see if that's true." Liam gave him a confused look and Harry put the scan pictures on the table.
Liams mouth fell open but nothing came out. Harry could tell he was trying not to say something possessive.
"See Liam you don't give a shit! You're not happy for me. You would've jumped out of your seat and hugged me and said congratulations," Harry's eyes started to water "but no that's too much to ask isn't it. Damn I was stupid to think you actually cared at all."
"I just can't believe you got yourself pregnant it's-"
"Liam shut the hell up! If you can't be happy and say something nice about my baby. Then I don't want to hear it! I'm through letting people walk over me!" Harry stood his food was now in a to go box.
He grabbed up the scan pictures.
"Now I would of loved to have you back as my best friend but you can forget that!" Harry stormed out.
Liam followed him out.
"I'm sorry Harry."
"You're sorry? All you've been doing lately is putting me down for trying to be happy and you just put me down again in there," Harry pointed "I need to go."
Harry got in his car Liam banged on his window begging him for forgiveness.
"Your ridiculous Liam, leave me alone." Harry said through the window.
"I can't be happy for you Harry I'm sorry! Not when you are pregnant with your bullies baby! I can't be happy for you! Its that simple so you either accept that or you might as well kiss this friendship good bye." Liam said with his arms crossed.
"That's not fair Liam it doesn't even make sense!" Harry said hitting the steering wheel "but it doesn't have to I'm happy and I don't care anymore."
Harry left Liam right there and sped off. It felt kind of good leaving him like that but it felt bad at the same time. It was unfair that Liam put him in a place like that.
When Harry got home he stripped and got in the shower. A nice shower is what he needed. Once he was out he dumped his uneaten dinner onto a plate and heated it up. He put in the disk of the baby and watched how it's movements were so subtle but its heartbeat was so loud and beat so fast. It fascinated him how such a little baby could have such a loud heart. He wished he could tell who it looked like but it was too early. He was hoping hard that by the next appointment they could tell the sex. He had scheduled an appointment for it on the way back from meeting Liam.
After a few bites he felt sick and stopped eating.
"Let mummy eat." Harry said to his stomach.
He wrapped the dinner back up and put it back in the refridgerator. He layed back on the couch and continued watching the disk.

Louis jumbled with his keys as he unlocked the door. He stepped inside. He smiled when he noticed the TV was on the disk and Harry was asleep.
Louis didn't want to wake him. So he went back in their room and also went to sleep. He was tired lucky he finished early and got back early morning instead of late. He didn't turn off the TV he just kept it on, he saw Harry was holding his stomach a small smile was on his lips.
A few hours later they both woke up. They greeted each other with a kiss on the lips and Louis kissed Harry's bump.
~
The whole week was a blur. Harry kept himself busy with educational classes cause he couldn't dance when he was three months pregnant but after the baby he promised he'd bring the little one with him to the studio. He and Louis cleared their schedules for today. The big day today was the day they might know what they were having.
"Alright are you two ready?" this doctor was way more nice than his old one. She was sweet and not old like the other late 30's. She asked so many nice questions, including are you two excited? To which Harry and Louis excitedly said yes.
Harry and Louis grabbed hands and closed their eyes as the doctor moved the piece around on his stomach. The heartbeat is what Louis and Harry concentrated on most. They brought another disk for this.
"Well this is luck! I can tell what you're having and you're having a boy!" the doctor said excitedly.
"Yes!" Louis jumped up.
Harry had tears in his eyes. Louis was over the moon and was also crying.
"Hello little William." Louis said with a happy smile.
"William? Are you sure?" Harry questioned staring at the little baby on the screen.
"Yeah, as long as his middle name can be Kasier?" Louis smiled.
"I think we will work around it." Harry said with a smile.
"Congratulations you two, I'll see you back in two months." the doctor smiled.
"Okay."
With that the doctor walked out and they followed. Louis really was more than happy about the baby being a boy. Harry seemed to be excited as well. He was happy that Louis got the baby boy he wanted.
They left and headed straight to the baby shop. Louis picked out a small pair of black and white checkered vans. Harry picked out a cute little onesie. They looked at cots and a lot of other necessity's but only came out with the shoes and clothes.
When they arrived back they started dinner and debated on baby names. William was definitely the first name cause they both agreed strongly on it.
"I've got it!" Harry said excitedly as they ate dinner.
"Out with it." Louis said with a smile.
"Okay, William Grey Tomlinson." Harry said.
"I actually love that." Louis admitted.
"More than Kaiser?" Harry raised a brow.
"Yes." Louis giggled grabbing their now empty plates.
"Yes!" Harry excitedly pecked Louis lips.
Louis shook his head as he watched Harry wash the dishes. He eyes went to Harry's stomach automatically. He never thought something like this would ever be possible. He never thought he'd fall in love with someone he thought he hated. He never thought he'd find someone as special as Harry. It was something totally different from what he pictured it.
He pictured himself well off his ass, still partying and drinking and getting with girls. He just pictured what he was going to be or what he thought. Even if in his pictured life he pictured himself with a woman having kids later on. If he ever decided to clean himself up. It was totally different now.
It wasn't what he imagined not in his life. It felt like it was always what he wanted though. He felt like it was okay like everything was meant to be this way. He didn't believe in that fate stuff. He just thought of it like whatever happens, happens.
This happened... Harry, little William, he changed faster than what he ever thought he could. In the blink of an eye he dropped everything for Harry and their son.
"Lou?" Harry snapped Louis out of his thoughts.
"Hm yes?" Louis shook his head.
"Everything okay you kinda zoned out for a bit?"
"Yeah," Louis said hooking his arms around Harry's waist "everything's perfect I was just thinking about you and our son."
Harry smiled and kissed his lips.
"I love you so much." Harry said.
"I love you most." Louis said.
