《Flatmates》42

I paced his room as I waited for him to return, hearing them shouting as they came though the door. Then I heard footsteps up the stairs and the door flung open.

Freezy pulled a box from his carrier bag, handing it to me. '2x Pregnancy Tests' it read.

'I had to buy this naff ass top just to get a bag so that Ethan wouldn't see it' Freezy moaned as he sat on the edge of his bed, dumping his bag as he did. 'Well go on, go piss on it or whatever you do.'

It was incredibly difficult to wee on demand, but eventually I managed it. I put the cap on the dip stick, and then went back to Cal.

'Well?'

'Well I don't know! You have to leave it for two minutes' I whispered, sitting beside Cal on the bed.

A few minutes passed and I couldn't bare to look, so I sent Freezy in to do it for me. He was gone for what felt like forever, staying silent. When he reappeared I couldn't read his expression. The suspense was killing me.

Cal sat back beside me on the bed, wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me back into his chest as he had done this morning. 'Congratulations' he whispered as he kissed the top of my head.

Oh my god.

We carried on as normal, the shock slowly beginning to register. Fear was washing over me like a tsunami, fear of Harry leaving. Fear of having to bring up this baby alone.

I carried on like normal for two whole days, the guilt of keep a secret from Harry slowly killing me. I knew I had to tell him, but I was terrified.

As we laid in bed one night cuddled up talking, I couldn't hold it any longer and erupted into tears.

'What's wrong? Hey come on, I'm sure it's not that bad' Harry soothed as he rubbed my back. He had no idea what his life was about to be turned upside down.

I said nothing, just reaching into my bedside table and grasping the pregnancy test in my hand. I had no words, so I placed it on Harry's lap, waiting for the shock to register on his face. And boy did it register.

Harry just sat there in silence for a good half an hour, occasionally glancing from the test, to me and back again. Eventually he spoke.

'A baby?' was all that came out, barely even a whisper.

'A baby' I whispered back.

Suddenly Harry pulled me back into his arms, kissing me and holding me close.

'Didn't see that coming' he laughed.

'Neither did I' I whispered in response.

'I am going to be a fucking DAD' Harry whispered back. 'And I can't fucking wait!'

***

We kept it a secret till the last day of the holiday, wanting to stay in our little bubble for as long as we could. Harry found it hilarious how I had made Cal get the test and then check it for me thank god, as I was worried he would be angry.

'I got something to tell you lot' Harry said as he threw himself down on a spare sun longer, joining the rest of us after yet another shower.

'Do tell?' Ethan said, yawning and laying back onto the grass.

'Hahaha. Maybe he wants to tell us all he has got Jess up the duff!' JJ joked as he nudged Simon on the shoulder.

'Ummm..well..'

'Oh my fucking god he has! CALLED IT! I FUCKING CALLED IT!' JJ jumped up as he shouted, knocking a table of drinks crashing to the floor.

All of the boys followed suit, jumping and screaming. Josh picked me up and span me in circles and all of the boys threw themselves at Harry. As Josh put my feet back firmly on the floor, JJ picked up Harry and threw him into the pool.

'I better be God Father' Freezy yelled as he jumped in behind Harry, all the boys once again following suit. I threw myself in last, the cold water a welcoming shock. I wrapped my arms around Harrys neck and kissed him. 'Forever.'
