University Of London (BEING EDITED)

-6 months later-
Maddie’s P.O.V
I’m about 7 months gone now and I’ve just finished University for the year. I’m going to take a gap year so I can have the baby and be with it for a while. Harry is touring at the moment but he calls or texts every day. I got back with him after a month, he proved himself to me. Ever since we were split up for that month, he’s stuck by his promise to be there. He was due back in about a week. We’ve found out that it’s going to be a girl and we’ve already given her a name. ‘Brooklyn Faye Styles’ we named her after both of my sisters and then there is part of Gemma in there as well with the Styles. We promised Gemma if we were to have another girl then they would have Gemma in her name. She had been delighted at that. All the girls have been helping me out with things that I couldn’t do anymore. My bump was growing by the day. I was about 4 months gone before I started showing. The tabloids didn’t take long to catch on. Everyone knows I’m pregnant now. I’ve been picking out colours for the nursery and everything. I’ve decided on a really pale pink with butterflies all around. It’s going to be so nice. The painters are coming next week to do it. The baby started to kick; she obviously knew that I was thinking about her new room. We wanted to stay here so the others can help out if we need them. I can’t wait to be a mum. I can just see the papers. ‘Baby Styles Arrives’ with ‘Harry Styles and girlfriend Madeline Anderson had a baby girl yesterday’ underneath. Mum and Dad are bringing Brooke and Faye over tomorrow. They all know I’m pregnant and have known since the day I found out. Brooke and Faye are so excited.
Harry has banned me from wearing high heels. I had to go out and buy a load of flats because if I wear heels and he finds out he’ll kill me. There has been a lot of press on our relationship lately, just adding to the stress. We have a baby on the way but the press still don’t leave us alone. We’ve had to do our entire baby shopping online because we can’t risk going out. I wore heels once and it was all in the papers about how I was 5 months pregnant and still wearing heels and skinny jeans. Harry had been so annoyed when he found out. Since then I swear he’s hidden my heels. I can’t find any of them. At 7 months I don’t think I’d be able to walk in them anyway! I spent my day watching TV and then went to bed.
When I woke up, I had to go and meet my family at the airport. I can’t drive either, another of Harry’s rules, so El has agreed to drive me. Belle is working today. We got to the airport and I called my mum. She was just coming through baggage claim so she would be out any minute. I saw Faye and she ran towards me. “Maddie!” she shouted. “Hey baby,” I said hugging her. “Hello darling,” Mum said from behind her. “Hey Mum, this is El by the way,” I said pointing to Eleanor. “She’s Harry’s best friend’s girlfriend and my best friend.” They all hugged her and we walked out of the airport. “So what’s this about these rules?” My Mum asked. El laughed. “Harry’s made a load of rules for me, what I can’t do and stuff. He’s touring at the moment so he’s keeping an eye on me in the tabloids. I’m not allowed to wear high heels or drive until the baby is born,” I said. She laughed. “Oh Harry! Why were you wearing heels when you were 5 months pregnant anyway?” She asked. “Because I wanted to, I wanted to still be stylish and not wear stupid clothes but then Harry put a stop to that and the baby made sure that I can’t wear skinny jeans anymore.” I laughed. “When is she due?” Brooke asked. “On the 4th of August,” I told her. “That’s near my birthday!” she said. “Yeah I know, I thought that as soon as they gave me my due date.” We got home and I walked up the stairs. “I can’t believe you Maddie, you want to wear high heels and skinny jeans and walk up stairs when you’re pregnant! I used to sit around doing nothing wearing a baggy top and some sweatpants.” Mum laughed. “I like keeping things the same.” I said. We got to my apartment and I unlocked the door. “Woah,” Brooke and Faye said as they walked inside. “This is really nice Maddie,” Brooke admired my apartment. “Thank you,” I waved to El because she was going home and continued to talk to my family. I sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. “Harry Styles’ girlfriend, Maddie Anderson was seen going to the airport today to collect family. The 7 month pregnant girl picked up her family with Eleanor Calder, Louis Tomlinson’s girlfriend. It is believed that Mr Styles has told Maddie that she isn’t allowed to drive until the baby has been born.” The presenter read out. I sighed and turned it over. “So this is what your life has become? Public, nothings private?” Dad asked. “Yeah… It’s pretty tiring after a while. Harry is sick of all the headlines about us. It’s put so much pressure on us as a couple.” I told him. “Don’t worry Maddie, once you’ve had the baby I’m sure things will die down.” He tried to comfort me. “Yeah… But what if they don’t? I don’t want to bring my child up with cameras all around her. I want her to be a normal girl not some pop stars daughter.” “I know darling, it’s hard I know, but you’ll find a way to make it work. Just don’t forget how special she is to you and you’ll be fine.” Just then I heard a key turn in the lock. Only Harry had a key. “Surprise!” He said walking in. “Hey Haz, what you doing back?” I asked confused. “We finished our concerts for the tour so we decided to come back. One of the concerts was cancelled and that was our last one so we got to come back a week early, sorry I didn’t tell you.” He said. “It’s fine.” Faye walked over to him. “Hey Faye,” he said. She scowled at him. Oh no. “You broke my sister’s heart. I’m not happy with you.” She was 8 and she was telling him off for hurting me. “Faye, it was a month, he came back didn’t he?” I said trying to get up. She thought for a minute. “Yeah… I’m sorry Harry,” she apologised and hugged him. “I’m sorry for hurting her,” he said. “I was being silly and it was a shock. I shouldn’t have left.” He told her. I hugged Harry, “So how’s my baby girl doing?” he asked. “She’s fine but she keeps kicking me and it hurts.” I told him. He laughed. “That’s part of being pregnant babe,” He said. “How would you know? You’ve never been pregnant!” I laughed. “Yeah… But I’ve been told.” He led me to the couch and let me sit down again before sitting down himself. “So have you stuck by my rules?” he asked. “Yes, I got El to drive me to pick everyone up,” I told him. “Okay, and you haven’t found your heels?” He laughed. “No, where did you hide them?” I asked. “They’re at Louis’ but you aren’t getting them back until after she’s been born!” He said seriously. I laughed and we talked with my family for a while before I showed them their bedrooms. I felt bad about giving Faye and Brooke the room that had a load of baby stuff in it but I didn’t really have any choice. There were two beds in there at the moment and the boys were going to move them when they had time. One of the rooms in Louis’ apartment doesn’t have a bed so they’re going to have them and push them together to make a double. It’s better than just chucking them out. My family are staying for a week so after that we’re sorting out the nursery properly. The decorators are coming in and Harry is going to arrange the furniture how we want. I can’t wait.
We went to bed and I couldn’t sleep. I just kept thinking about the headlines and all the press around us. I wanted to have my baby shielded from all that but it’s going to be hard because Harry’s famous. He’s going to want to take her places and that’s going to mean press. Harry’s manager is going to send a statement to all the press and tell them that we want privacy for at least the first month of our baby’s life and after that they are free to do their job. I gradually fell asleep. “Maddie, wake up,” I heard Harry’s voice. I opened my eyes. “Hey gorgeous, come on, I’ll help you up,” he said holding out his hand. I sat up and took it. I found things really difficult now. I walked slowly towards the kitchen. Faye was already up watching TV. “Good Morning.” She said when I walked in. “Morning Faye,” I said. I got some cereal and put it in a bowl. I ate it and went on Twitter. ‘@Mrs_Styles: @MadsAnderson Leave Harry alone, he doesn’t want you or that baby he left you and only came back because his family told him to. If he had a choice he’d be with someone better right now and not tied down with a baby on the way.’ I stopped eating my cereal and started to cry. It got to me. My emotions were all over the place as it is. Faye came into the kitchen. “What’s the matter Maddie?” she asked and ran to get Harry. Harry walked in and hugged me. “Hey what’s the matter?” he said, and then saw my phone. He read it and then looked at me. “You don’t seriously believe that? I came back because I love you.” He told me. He got his phone out and went on Twitter. I saw him tweet back, ‘@Harry_Styles: @Mrs_Styles 1. You are not my wife or mum. 2. I love Maddie and I love the baby. 3. My family told me to yes, but I don’t have to listen to them. 4. I would never want to be with someone else but Maddie so leave her alone.’ It made me feel so much better. I stopped crying and hugged him. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have cried. I couldn’t help it.” I told him. “Don’t worry, I love you Mads,” he said. “I love you too,” I went back to eating my cereal and he sat and watched TV with Faye. When I finished my breakfast I joined them. I sat down and the baby started to kick. “Ouch.” I shouted. “What’s the matter?” Harry asked. “The baby’s kicking that’s all,” I said. He put his hand on my bump and felt her kick. “That must really hurt,” He said. “It does,” I answered.
