《help wanted - Harry Styles au》Chapter 37
Advertisement
"Have a safe trip. We'll miss you tons." I pouted at Harry who was packing the last of his bags in his trunk. He pouted back, walking to me and kissing my lips softly.
"It'll only be a week. It'll go by super fast." Harry shut the trunk before walking back inside to say bye to the kids. "Remember, I probably won't have any cell service there, it's the worst. But I'll contact you as soon as I can." He said to me. I nodded my head, a whole week without contact from Harry, it's gonna be a long week.
"If anything happens to the kids-" Harry starts to say, but I cut him off having this all memorized by now.
"All of the important contacts are on the side of the fridge. Call Louis if anything happens. I got it, I got it." I raised my hands up at him signaling for him to calm down. "Besides, Tina will be here tomorrow so I'm sure everything will be just fine."
Harry nodded, taking a deep breathe.
"Okay my loves. Daddy's gonna be gone for a few days but I'll be back before you know it. Be good for mommy okay? Don't give her too much of a headache." Harry said to the kids. Penelope nodded her head, being the only one that can actually understand what he's saying.
"I love you both. Watch out for Danny okay, Pen? I love you." He said again, kissing Penelope's forehead and then Danny's, then squeezing him super tightly in his arms.
"I love you Daddy!" Penelope shouted out.
Harry got up and wrapped his arms around my body tightly. Holding me for as long as he can.
"I love you. It'll go by fast. This next week is going to be hell away from you." He said to me, I laughed under his touch.
"I'll miss you. I love you." I said back, Harry let go before bending down to my stomach, kissing it softly.
"I love you too, little one." He whispered, ever since we found out I was pregnant, Harry loves to talk to my flat stomach. "Okay, I gotta go. Be safe. Lock the doors." Harry pointed at me causing me to roll my eyes.
"Okay, dad. I've got it." I huffed. Harry closed the door behind him and I sighed.
"Mommy, let's watch a movie!" Penelope instantly called out to me.
~~~
We spent the rest of the day watching movies, coloring, and even baking cookies. The kids didn't seem to think much of Harry's absence.
"Alright kids, time for bed." I called to the kids once I was dinner cleaning up the kitchen from dinner.
"Daddy come back to tuck us in?" Penelope asked, there it is. I shook my head at her.
"No baby.. Daddy isn't coming back tonight. He'll be back soon though." I combed my finger through her hair.
"Can I sleep with you tonight? Since Daddy isn't here?" Pen asked, my heart warmed from her question. It was a good idea, I didn't really want to sleep alone tonight or ever since I started to sleep with Harry. I nodded my head.
"Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. Let's go get ready for bed." After brushing both of their teeth and putting Danny in his crib, Penelope climbed into mine and Harry's bed instantly settling on Harry's side.
"Get some sleep." I pulled the blanket up to her chin, kissing her head softly before turning to the bathroom to get ready for bed.

Okay, easy enough. Day one is finished, only 4 more days till Harry's back home. I sent Tina a text, asking her what time she'll be here tomorrow before finishing up. By the time I got settled into bed, Penelope's soft snores filled the room. I smiled, bringing her small body close to mine, she instantly snuggled into me.
"Love you, mommy." She said sleepily. I pouted at her words, not used to her saying these types of things to me.
"I love you, bunny." I whispered back before letting myself drift off into my own sleep, wondering what Harry was doing.
7:30 AM
My alarm blared through the room causing me to groan before hunting for my phone to shut it off. I squinted my eyes, rubbing them slightly to get them to see clearly. Penelope groaned beside me, woken up from the alarm.
"Sorry, Pen. Time to get up. Aunt Tina will be here soon." I said, climbing out of the bed to brush my teeth and wash my face. Pen was still laying in bed by the time I was ready for the day. I chuckled, walking over to her. She stared at the ceiling blankly. She is her father's daughter, definitely not a morning person.
"Okay, c'mon. Let's go get your brother." I pulled her up and out of bed, forcing her to walk. She sauntered off to the bathroom to potty and brush her teeth, Danny was still asleep in his crib so I decided to let him sleep in a little.
"When you're done, bring the brush and the hair ties, your hair is a mess." I laughed.
The doorbell rang through the house, damn Tina was earlier than I thought.
"Good mornin-" I swung the door open to see Tina holding a huge bouquet of flowers in her hands. "What is that." I pointed, she shrugged pushing past me and shrugging her duffel bag off of her shoulder.
"Good morning! I have no idea, it was outside your door when I got here." She set it on the kitchen table, and I pulled a small note out of the bouquet.
Miss you, already. xx
"Huh. It must be from Harry, that's sweet." I smiled at the small note and the beautiful bouquet. I pulled out my phone, seeing if Harry had texted me at all through the night.
Hey angel, here safely. I love you. x
The message was sent as a text and not an imessage, so I guess he really doesn't have any service.
Got the flowers, they're beautiful. I love you. xx
"Auntie Tina!" Penelope shouted happily at the sight of Tina pouring herself a bowl of cereal. Tina bent down with open arms, letting Pen run straight into her.
"Good morning, stink. Want some cereal?" Penelope nodded, sitting in her chair at the table. Once Danny was awake we spent the morning eating breakfast together and doing some arts and crafts.
Tina took the responsibility of keeping the kids occupied while I did house chores and was even able to touch up on some assignments for school. Every so often I would check my phone to see if I had gotten a message from Harry, each time I would be met with disappointment.
"Okay, Danny is down for his nap and Pen is watching a movie." Tina sighed, entering Harry's office that he's so graciously let me use while he's gone. "Oh wow, this is nice, I don't think I've ever been in here." Tina walked around the room, looking at the different paintings and pictures Harry had hung up on the wall.

"What are you up to?" She asked, peaking over my shoulder and at my screen. I sighed, scooting over so she could see. I had filled her in on what was happening with my grandma, after all Tina was like a sister to me, Mommsy means a lot to her too.
"Oh Ana.." She started to say. "Have you figured out what you're leaning towards doing?" She asked, scrolling through the page I had open.
"She doesn't want treatment.. So, no treatment. I think we're going to have her move in here, so she can spend more time with us. That way if she needs anything at all, she'll have us at her disposal." I explained.
"Oh wow, Harry's okay with that?" She asked. I nodded my head.
"We're going to convert the kids playroom into a bedroom for her, since they don't use it that much anyways. It'll be an adjustment for everyone, that's for sure. But it seems like the best course of action."
After discussing with Harry the other night, we hashed out all the possibilities for Mommsy, Harry knew I would want to spend as much time as possible with her as I could. All we have to do is pitch the idea to Mommsy and hope she's okay with moving in and selling her old house.
"I'm sure it'll all work out, I'm sorry you have to go through this." Tina hugged my softly, I just nodded my head. It was a tough pill to swallow. I know how this is going to end, I just didn't want to believe it.
"Okay, I'm off to go to my doctor's appointment. You'll be okay for an hour?" I asked Tina, I had my first appointment with my OBGYN today. Tina doesn't know I'm pregnant yet so she just thinks it's my annual check up. "I'll bring home some food on the way back."
"All good, you go. Good luck!" She said, exiting the room and joining Penelope once again.
I shot Harry another text, maybe he'll get them soon.
Headed to the doctors! Love you. xx
~~~
"Alright, Ms.Walker. How are you feeling today?" Dr.Jordan walked into the room with a smile on her face.
"Feeling good, Doctor." I nodded. She proceeded to ask me the general questions, when was my last period. How many weeks late was I, have I started to feel any symptoms.
"Okay, let's have a look at the little one. If you could lift your shirt up a bit for me." She prepped her equipment before turning back towards me, "This is gonna be a little cold." Shivers shot through my arms as the cold gel made contact with my skin.
My head turned to the screen, not that I could understand anything that was happening on it anyways.
"Oh wow.." Dr.Jordan smiled, applying a little pressure to my belly. "You see that tiny little dot right there on the screen?" She pointed out a small oval, I nodded my head a smile on my face. "That's your baby. A healthy baby it seems, can't really tell much because it's too small. You're about 6 weeks pregnant right now, everything seems to be okay. You just call the office immediately if you start to feel any overbearing pain of any sorts." She took a few ultrasound pictures.
My heart hurt that Harry couldn't be here for my first doctors visit.
"You're expected due date is June 14." She smiled, she printed out the ultrasounds for me and cleaned up my belly. "We won't start you on any prescribed vitamins yet, but you can get the pregnancy gummy vitamins from your local pharmacy and those will help with development and also your hormones." She said.
We walked out to the front desk together, Dr.Jordan told the receptionist when the next appointment would be and I went on my way.
I sat in the car and stared at the pictures in my hands. A precious baby growing in my belly. My finger grazed over the small bean in the ultrasound.
"Hi, baby.. Mommy's so excited to meet you." I smiled. I took a picture to send to Harry.
Our little bean.
I stopped at a pizza parlor on the way home, it was kinda busy and took way longer than I anticipated. I sat at table, waiting patiently for my 2 pizzas to be done. I looked around the busy restaurant, my eye stopped at a particular booth.
A couple sat at the table, the man wore a black hoodie and a hat, the woman facing away from me. I'm not sure what drew my attention to them but I couldn't look away, something felt off. The man wouldn't look up, kept his head low I couldn't even see his face.
"Order for Ana!" The worker called, I hopped out of my chair and grabbed the boxes, turning my head to the booth once more before I made it to the door. I squinted and tilted my head, they were gone. Hmm.
I shook my head and walked to my car, driving home. None of my business.
"Welcome back!" Tina greeted me as I walked into the house with the pizzas. She instantly took them from my arms and placed them on the coffee table in the living room. "Pen's taking her nap so I guess this is all for meeee." She laughed, opening the boxes.
"Oh by the way! You got a package, it's in the kitchen." Tina said. Hmm I wasn't expecting anything, it must be for Harry. Sure enough, Harry Styles was printed on the label, I left it on the counter, deciding it would be best not to open his packages.
"It's Harry's." I shrugged at her. "Pen didn't give you a hard time?" I asked, pulling a slice of pizza from the box. She shook her head, mouth full of food.
"She's an angel. Talks a shit ton, but an angel." She laughed, causing me to roll my eyes.
We ate a box of pizza, leaving some for the kids of course, catching up on each others lives. I decided I would wait a little longer to tell her that I was pregnant, people say to wait at least 9 weeks before announcing it to the public since miscarriages are prone to happen in the early stages of a pregnancy.
Tina had eventually fallen asleep on the couch, leaving me to my thoughts. I missed Harry, it's only been one day and I already miss him incredibly. I sighed and closed my eyes as well, deciding it would be best to get as much sleep as I could. My hand rested on my belly.
"I love you, bean."

Hardcore OP-ness
Most people pray for good health, a loving family, and to win the lottery. I asked “Can you send me to a game-like fantasy-style world? It can't be too unrealistic, but also, it would be nice if I was immortal to some degree. Oh yea, no rape or slavery either, cause then I'll have to spend the whole time trying to create a perfect society, and I'd rather not have to deal with all that nonsense. No other players either, cause that always creates a ton of annoying drama, and I just want to have a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable time.â€Three years later, after I had completely forgotten about all that… well, better late than never I suppose. The moral of this story, is to be careful what you wish for; also, cuteness is justice, so don't complain if adorable bunnies beat you to death and devour your corpse.(Warning: This story includes profanity, numbers, humanity, nudity, uncomfortable realism in a fantasy-world, awkward but mild sexual-content, descriptive violence and gore, nekomimi, necrophilia, bizarre and disturbing sexual-content, offensive language, plus all of the other things that disclaimers usually have to tell you about. Do not read this if you dislike transportation, virtual reality, fantasy, or other similar genres… or me, because I'm the author.)I'm only posting a few chapters on this site, but there are over 100 on my wordpress. https://mike777ac.wordpress.com/hardcore-op-ness/
