Through The Dark

After a long day of interviews, I'm thankful to have only 10 fans approach me. I trudge into the lobby of my apartment building. I quickly slide in my card and the elevators open. After a thumb print and code, the elevator is up and running to the penthouse. I hope Cass made dinner already. I'm starving after only one meal with Niall, at Nando's, pap-free. The doors open and I see Cassia by the couch. "Hey Harry." She says. "Hello love" I reply and greet her with a lissss. She doesn't respond, with her lips closed shut. Instantly, floods of thoughts arise. What wrong? Is she cheating in me? Is she dying? She sees the look in my face and laughs. Her laugh is sweet and soothing. I brush the long black hair out of her face. "What's wrong, love?" I whisper as I put her forehead to mine. Cassia brushes her nose against mine and pulls away. "It's nothing babe." She replies with uncertainty. "I made spaghetti since I saw in Twitter you went to Nando's and had chicken." I laugh. "Always rely on tweets.." She nods and serves my plate. We eat in silence. "Midnight Memories Tour has been sold out," I say. She drops her fork. "Haz? Are you serious this is great! They went in sale this morning!" She exclaims. "I know right? It's amazing to think how far we have gone." I chuckle. We finish eating in silence. "I have a new job offer." She says calmly. "For what?" I ask. "The New York Times." She replies and picks up my plate. "As in, New York? As in, USA?" I ask. She nods. "I don't know what to do. Believe me. I love working for the celebrities, but this would be great!" She exclaims. I nod and finish my cola. She begins to wash dishes. She never believed in the leave-it-for-the-maids thing. She was stubborn and did everything herself. I play Louis Armstrong from my phone to the surround sound and hear the trumpet playing away. I could get lost in this for hours. I grab Cassia from the waist and pull her close to me. We slowly begin to dance, my hands on her hips, and her arms locked around mine.
"Harry?" Cassia asks.
"Mmmh?" I reply, closing my eyes.
"Would you ever you know, want a family?" She whispers.
"Um.. Now? It would be tough. The band is big now. But I think if we were to start one, I'd prefer to wait. But a baby isn't so bad." I say.
"Are you sure? Like as in maybe?"
"I guess. But we're young and all.. Wait. Are you.. pregnant?" I state. By now we are staring face to face and no longer dancing.
She walks over to the living room and returns with something behind her back. Cass covers my eyes. "Okay.. Open!" She says. In her hands is a small black and white picture of what appears to be a jellybean. I look closer, and realize, that it is a baby. I stand there for a minute. She drops the picture. "Oh god. You don't want the baby do you?" She says and begin to cry. I wrap my arms around her. "No. I want this baby. I want this to be real. It's gonna change everything but it is ok." I reply. I lead her to the master bedroom and kiss her. On her head her nose, her cheeks and last, her lips. I love this girl. We climb haver to the bed, where she curls up and faces me. "Thank you Haz." She whispers and kisses me. I watch her close her eyes and fall asleep. I duck under the covers to see her stomach. I lift her Rolling Stones shirt to reveal her stomach. I kiss it, and hold my hands to it.
"I love you, little one. And I will never stop living you or your mum. You two, are my life." I settle back up and kiss her forehead. Inhaling her sweet coconut shampo, I fall asleep.
