Money Honey

Harry woke up eyes blurry and confusion immediately set in when he felt the bed beside him and he didn’t feel his wife, Louis, beside him. She’s usually always there for him to wake up to so for her to be absent sends Harry into a panic especially since she’s pregnant and who knows if she’s feeling sick or something is wrong. Harry shot out of bed and ran to the bathroom first terrified of what he could find but instead he just saw Louis fixing her hair and applying some make up. Harry leant against the door frame and let out a sigh causing Louis to glance at him.

“Are you okay babe?” She asked worriedly.

“Yeah, I just woke up without you and thought something was wrong.”

Louis face softened, putting down her makeup and walking over to Harry wrapping her arms around Louis’ neck, “I didn’t mean to frighten you. I just know you haven’t slept much recently so I wanted you to sleep in.”

Harry smiled and kissed Louis’ forehead, “It’s alright love, I’m just happy you’re not sick.”

“Oh that already happened.” Louis admitted with a giggle. “But it’s okay it wasn’t bad. I already brushed my teeth so kiss me!” Louis demanded.

Harry smiled and bent down to kiss his wife as she demanded. “Now how is my baby doing?” Harry asked kneeling and rubbing his wife’s pregnant belly.

“They’re good.” Louis said, running her hands through Harry’s hair. “Not too much trouble today.”

“Good.” Harry mumbled kissing her stomach. “I love you little one and I can’t wait to meet you.” Harry whispered kissing her stomach yet again.

Harry stood up and kissed his wife once more, “So what are you getting ready for?”

“I was going to pick up a few more things from the store and maybe meet up with Liam for lunch.”

“Okay cool. While you’re gone I’ll try to fix the light in the nursery and do some painting.”

Louis smiled, “That would be wonderful. The paint should still be in the room and once I’m home I’ll help you. I shouldn’t be long.”

“Take as long as you want baby. I’ll let you finish getting ready, do you want some tea?”

“Yes, thank you Harry.”

Harry smiled and kissed Louis one more time before leaving her be and going downstairs to start making her tea and breakfast for himself. Harry softly sang to himself but stopped once he heard Louis’ walking into the kitchen. He stole a glance at her and couldn’t help but smile; although she’s pregnant she’s still wearing her normal t shirts and jeans rolled up with vans. He loves that she hasn’t given into the strange maternity clothes and just buys bigger clothes to fit her growing stomach.

“You look wonderful baby and the tea is right there.”

Louis smiled, “Thank you babe.” Louis practically downed her tea in one go causing Harry to shake his head. “Okay I’m going to head out. I’ll text you later, yeah?”

Harry nodded and motioned for her to walk to him so he could kiss her goodbye, “Have a great time, bug. I love you.”

“I love you too baby.” Louis told him with a blinding smile. “I’ll see you in a few hours.”

After having breakfast and watching some tv Harry finally got up to start painting the nursery. He changed into one of his black shirts and random pair of jeans, slipping a beanie on to keep his hair out of his face. He walked into the nursery and stood there for a moment trying to figure out what to start first. He decided upon fixing the fan because it would be hell not having air circulating while painting and he doesn’t want to pass out from paint fumes.

Fixing the fan turned out to be a lot harder than Harry planned but he eventually got it working and he must say for a musician he think he did a damn good job at fixing it. He didn’t feel like putting the ladder away so he simply left it in the middle of the room as he started painting the walls a mint green. The couple argued over what color to paint the nursery, Harry claiming it be too soon to paint and they should wait to find out the sex of the baby to paint but Louis didn’t want the room to be gender driven and what if they have a boy and paint the room all blue but he grew up wanting a pink room? Harry knew Louis was looking far too deep into paint colors but he didn’t want to argue so they decided on a gender neutral color (that wasn’t yellow since Louis hates yellow) so they agreed upon mint green with coral accents. As Harry started painting he couldn’t help but let his mind wander to what it’s going to be like to have a child. He’s always wanted a child but being in the band he never thought he would actually get to a place where he could have one. The pregnancy came at a perfect time because they found out Louis was pregnant just as everyone in the band agreed on a year break. Louis and Harry were able to have a wedding but they never had a honeymoon (unless you consider going on tour in a different country with three other people a honeymoon) so this time to enjoy their married life and the pregnancy means a lot to them both.

Harry still remembers the first time he saw Louis, she was getting out of her mom’s car at the X Factor and all he could think about was how cute she looked. He thought she was just going to be another cute girl but then they ran into each other, literally, in the building and then they were put into the band with Liam, Niall and Zayn and everything seemed to fall into place after that. They were both terrified of being in a relationship while in the band because what if something bad happened? But they couldn’t stay away from each other and after a few bumps in the road they realized they could get past anything. So finally they started dating and three years later Harry proposed (they were on a break and it was a relaxing day of just napping and eating junk food and one of the times Louis woke up beside him he just asked her and it wasn’t how he planned but it was perfect and private) and a year later they were married and two years after a wonderful married life Louis took a pregnancy test and it came back positive and they couldn’t be happier.

Now him and Louis get to have a beautiful baby and they get to share this incredible life with someone else and he is already so in love with his child. He can’t wait to love them unconditionally and watch them grow. He can’t wait to see them discover grass for the first time or water. He can’t wait until they have a favorite song or a favorite band. He can’t wait to bring them to their first concert. Although it’ll be hard to watch he can’t wait to see them fall in love for the first time whether it’s with a boy or girl, it won’t matter to him. As long as his child is healthy that’s all he cares about. Harry wants to prove to his child that the world can be rude and cruel but it can be so beautiful and there are so many things to be happy about. There is still so much good in the world and he can’t wait to tell his child that. He gets to share this with his beautiful wife and he is just so happy and so proud. He knows Louis is going to make an excellent mother and he is looking forward to watching her grow as a person and mother.

All the thoughts regarding his child and Louis raising his child makes Harry so emotional and he knows if he were to keep painting he would probably ruin something. So he put away the painting supplies and ventured into the attack where he knows a giant stuffed bear is. He won it for Louis on one of their first dates and he plans on giving it to his child once they are born even if the bear will be much larger than the baby. Cuddling the bear Harry walked back into the nursery and looked around imagining where the crib would go, where their first family picture would hang, where the rocking chair and the changing table would be. He could envision it all and that only makes him more excited about his unborn child.

Harry couldn’t help but smile and get teary at the thought so he sat down in the middle of the room and let his mind wander. He didn’t know how long he was there but eventually he could hear a car pull into the driveway and eventually Louis walking into the house and calling for him. He didn’t move from his spot and just yelled back where he was. Louis walked into the room with bags filled up her arms and a smile on her face, it growing when she recognized the bear in Harry’s lap. Louis sat the bags by the door and went to sit by Harry.

“What’s going on, Hazza?”

Harry shrugged, “I was painting and I just started thinking about you and how we met and our bay and I just…I don’t really know baby. I’m just so excited and I love you so much and I’m so happy with you. I can’t believe you’re having my child and I wouldn’t want anyone else. I love you so much.”

Louis already being emotional from hormones started crying and climbed into Harry’s lap, nuzzling her face into Harry’s neck.

“Oh Harry, I love you so much too. I wouldn’t want to be with anyone else. I’m so proud to be having your baby. I love you. I love you. I love you.”

Harry cradled his wife to his chest and rocked her back and forth whispered how much he loves her in her ear. They still have six months until their baby is due but the future is bright and neither of them would want to be anywhere else.
