ALWAYS

Sophia held my hand tightly as we walked into the sterile smelling building. I could tell that she was nervous and scared but excited as well. I smiled as I thought of the way that we would be able to be there for each other through the whole process. Sophia stumbled a bit when we reached the desk. She was really nervous. I stroked her hand with my thumb the way I did to Harry when he was nervous or upset.
"Is that the thing Harry talks about all the time?" Sophia asked before the nurse running the desk noticed us. I lifted my eyebrow. Sophia held up our intertwined hands. I giggled and nodded. "He always talks about it when he's stressed out." Sophia chuckled. "Oh I wish Noli were here to hold my hand. She does this thing with her thumb that just...ugh I want my wife." Sophia mocked Harry's deep voice and way of speaking.
I shook my head, "Yeah. That sounds like Harry." Sophia and I were still waiting patiently for the nurse who was on the phone. "He probably also just wants me because I do the same thing to his ass when we're in bed." Sophia cracked up laughing as did I. I blushed realizing it had just flown out of my mouth. "Great! Now I'm turning into him." I slapped my head lightly.
"Nah. It's just me and you. It doesn't matter." Sophia grinned. She then leaned in, "Liam makes me like trace his belly button with my nails or he won't go to sleep."
"Harry's chest to. That little dip between his pecs, have to sleep with my hand on it or he thinks I hate him." I laughed. Sophia giggled as well.
"May I help you, girls?" The nurse behind the desk asked.
"Yes. Payne. I have a nine-thirty appointment." Sophia replied softly.
The woman smiled, "Oh yes. I'll tell the doctor that you're here." Sophia nodded and we went to sit down in the waiting area.

Once we were sitting again, I placed my hand on my stomach. I felt like it was growing faster than it did with Darcy. I smiled and stroked my stomach the way Harry had been the night before.
"Do you really love it?" Sophia asked me nervously.
"Love what?" I inquired. I wasn't sure of what she was talking about.
"Being pregnant?" She clarified.
I nodded, "I do. And I love being a mom. But having a man that is going to take care of you through all of it and that is just as excited about you being pregnant and having a baby. That's really nice too." Sophia nodded and looked away from me. "Soph, he's going to be so excited and emotional when you tell him. Don't worry about a thing." I tried to ease her worry.
"Mrs Payne." The nurse called out.
Sophia stood and looked at me, "Will you come in with me? Please?"
"Honey, you have to like piss in a cup and stuff. I'm not sure you want me in there." I chuckled.
"E, please." Sophia whimpered. I nodded and stood as quickly as my pregnant body would let me.

Sophia clutched my hand as we made our way back to the exam room. Sophia was grumpy as we walked past the nurse to get into the room. They'd had a hefty argument about me being in the room with her. Sophia climbed up on the exam table and tried to relax. I sat in the chair off to the side, my hand on my stomach once again.
"Is he making you sick today?" Sophia asked, motioning to my belly.
I shook my head, "Surprisingly not. He's actually quite calm today." Sophia smiled and turned her attention to the nurse taking her blood pressure. I sat quietly and stroked my stomach once again. I felt like I was calming myself but I also didn't like it. I'd much rather have Harry doing it. My mind drifted to the night before when he laid his head right above where my stomach was swelling and whispered to our baby. I smiled even more when I thought of how he sang to the child inside of me as well. I quickly wiped my face and took a deep breath.
"Are you okay, E?" Sophia sounded concerned as the nurse left the room. I nodded quickly. "Are you sure? You're crying."
"Hormones. I was just thinking about Harry and how he acts with Darcy and this baby and I just..." I laughed trying to clear my face again. Sophia laughed and reached out for my hand.
"Are you wondering if Harry would've acted the same when you were pregnant with Darcy?" Sophia inquired gently. I nodded and squeezed her hand. "You know that he loves you so much. I can't wait to see you two get married. He's been wanting that for...well, since the day he met you I guess." Sophia grinned.
"Yeah. I know. I feel the same way." I beamed at her through my tears.
Sophia turned on the exam table, "Have you started planning?"
"Yes. We set a date. We basically set it the day he asked me. Two weeks after the guys get back. He has a week to relax with Darcy and the baby then we have a week to act like crazy people then he wants to go back to Italy for a honeymoon but that was before we knew I was pregnant. The baby will only be a month old by that time and I just don't think I could leave my baby." I stated sadly.
"Harry won't either. Maybe you guys could take one when the baby is like six months old. Darcy will be in school and it wouldn't be so bad." Sophia shrugged. I agreed with her silently. "But I wanna know what you want to do for the actual wedding. Like your dress and Darcy's dress. The colors. Do you want to have a theme?" She blurted at me.
"White, even though that's ridiculous. And Darcy already firmly stated that her dress would be purple. So I'm pretty sure my colors are going to be purple to work around my spoiled daughter. And why can't the theme be that I am marrying the man that I love and have children with?" I replied just as swiftly as she asked.
"Purple is a good color for you and Harry though. You look great in lavender and he's always looked good in the deeper purple colors. And by theme I mean, do you want that classic wedding with the princess dress and the classic hair and red lips." Sophia asked.
"I hate red lipstick and you know it." I grunted at Sophia. She laughed and shook her head. "I just want the simple thing. Harry and I are simple."
"Enola, the man was a model during their break. Like any designer he knows it going to let you guys be the straight kind of simple that you are." Sophia chuckled. As I opened my mouth to snap at her, the door opened and the doctor walked in. I closed my mouth and began to stew in my own hormone fueled anger.

Sophia tapped her fingers nervously as we waited for the doctor to return to the room with her test results. I could see that she was dying to know.
"Sophia, calm down. Stressing isn't any good for the baby. Just relax." I smiled warmly. She nodded and took a few deep breaths. Just as she was calmed, the doctor returned, making her tense up again. I groaned softly shifting in my seat. I caressed my stomach gently to make myself more relaxed as well.
"Alright, Mrs. Payne. Here are your test results." The doctor grinned. "You are in fact pregnant." His smile for Sophia was genuinely happy as was my own. Sophia chewed on her lip lightly. "It looks like you're only about three weeks. Which is really early to be able to tell. But that's good." The doctor looked to me, "I'm assuming you were helpful there."
"Well, she does listen to me whine at my husband about how I feel all the time." I chuckled as did Sophia and the doctor.
The doctor then handed Sophia a sheet, "I've set up an appointment for you in London with a very highly recommended OB. I'd like for you to go home as soon as possible to meet with her and we both agreed that travel is not something that will be good for you or the baby. We recommend that you stay home and focus on keeping yourself healthy. Plenty of sleep, healthy foods and water. Exercise like you normally would." The doctor began to rattle off more recommendations for her.

Sophia and I walked into the dressing room happily. The boys thought that we'd just gone shopping. Brynn had lied and said she didn't feel good to make the story believable. I smiled at Brynn when Sophia and I caught her attention. Brynn got up from her place beside Niall and Louis and ran to Sophia and I.
"What did he say?" Brynn whispered. Sophia just nodded. I could tell that just being in the same room with Liam was making her emotional. "How are you going to tell him?" Brynn asked.
"I'm just going to do it. Like ripping off a band-aide." Sophia replied.
"Hey, baby. How are you feeling?" Harry asked as he wrapped me in his arms from behind.
"I'm fine." I replied with a sigh when he pressed his lips to my neck lightly. "How are you?" I asked with a cheeky grin.
"I'm good. Darcy is taking a nap already. I'm thinking it's a two nap day." He murmured in my ear.
"Perfect." I giggled, biting my lip.
"You two are disgusting." Sophia laughed. Brynn faked vomiting noises.
"Hey Soph." Liam beamed at his wife. Sophia instantly became shy. "You didn't find anything good to buy?" He asked seeing that we'd come back empty handed. "Sophia, what's going on?" Liam asked nervously when Sophia didn't answer and tears fell from her eyes. "Enola?" Liam looked at me with worry.
"Sophia." I smiled, urging her forward. Sophia pulled the papers from her purse and handed them to Liam. He appeared even more worried when Sophia placed them in his hands. Liam opened them carefully.
"We didn't go shopping." She admitted. Harry looked at me with worry as well. I smiled and placed his hands on my stomach, letting him know that everything was okay. He rested his chin on my shoulder and watched Sophia and Liam. I leaned my head against Harry's then kissed his cheek. He held me just a little tighter.
"Sophia..." Liam's voice broke a little when he looked up at her.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I just...I couldn't watch your heart break again. I wanted to be sure." Sophia wept quietly. Liam quickly grabbed her face and kissed her hard. He kissed her with love and passion as tears fell onto his cheeks. "Are you happy?" Sophia asked, backing out of the kiss.
"Of course I am. This is what we want, right?" He beamed at her. She nodded and covered her mouth to contain her sob. Liam lunged at her again, kissing her deeply.
"What the fuck is going on?" Niall asked standing from his chair. I rolled my eyes. The man did always have tact.
Liam pulled away from Sophia and shouted, "I'm going to be a dad!" Everyone in the room cheered loudly.
"Can we not be there when you tell your mother?" Louis asked with a bit of sass. We all started laughing.
"Two babies and a wedding. What a year!" My mother gushed from the other end of the room. I rolled my eyes at her. The queen of the over statement.
Harry kissed the side of my head, "Do you need a nap?" I looked up at him, feeling slightly annoyed. He lifted his eyebrow at me. I flushed red and nodded. "Perfect." Harry released me and went to Liam. He and Liam hugged tightly. "I'm so happy for you, man. I love you." Harry told Liam with that brotherly tone they always used with each other.
"I love you too." Liam kissed Harry's cheek with a big grin. Louis and Niall then took their turns hugging Liam. Harry took Sophia's hands in his and he kissed her cheek.
"You'll be a good mum." He murmured before kissing her cheek.
"Thank you, Harry." She pulled back suddenly, "Just a good mum?"
"The best mums are my mum and the mother of my children. Sorry." Harry teased her. Sophia punched him in the arm like I would. "Go take a nap with your wife." Sophia pushed him at me. "Enjoy the thumb thing." Sophia called out to him as we reached the door. Harry lifted his eyebrow at Sophia and when we started to giggle, Harry turned glaring eyes on me.
"Enola." He scolded me with the deep tone that made my knees and insides tremble.
"It was girl talk. I swear. She's the only one that knows." I promised holding in my giggles. Harry hummed and the twinkle in his eye that I'd not seen in a while showed.
"Get in my dressing room." He growled with a smile. I bid everyone a good night then rushed out of the room with Harry right behind me.
I could hear Sophia laughing as the boys whined, "Not agaaain!"

Notes

Yay! A new chapter. I am really such a slacker on this story lately. I've been hard core working on the ones that could possibly replace it just to make sure I have enough to keep the updates regular. I haven't forgotten about this at all. Just trying to set up the next story we could be seeing. Which you still have about 2 days to vote on Lavender or Eidolon. Then it's the final voting round! And I have special things planned for that. :)

I hope you liked this. As I said before, I love hearing what you guys think. I want to know what your predictions for the rest of the story are! I've left a few easter eggs so let's see who has really been paying attention.

Peace&Love

p.s.: thank @abear44 for this chapter. (mind you asking when I will post again will not push me to post every time. she just happened to be polite about it and I had a few chapters ready)
