My heart starts to race as I watch her as they stare deadly to each other. I go to say something but Stephanie beats me too it.

"I want to hear it from you Naomi. Like you were so desperate to tell me, now is your chance." Steph says as she walks towards Naomi and stops a couple of inches infront of her.

Louis looks to me and I glance at him unsure what I should do. He turns to the girls and I slowly look to Naomi as she explains to Stephanie what she had told me.

"Well, I'm sorry to burst your little bubble but Harry has already told me. We agreed that I'd pretend I didn't know until he had told his family. So whatever little plan you have isn't going to work." Stephanie says and I look at her in shock. Why on earth has she said that? Why is she lying? I'm actually quite scared at Stephanie right now as I don't know where this is going.

"I don't have a plan I just wanted him to understand that's he's going to have responsibilities." Naomi says and Steph nods, I have no idea how she is able to stay so calm.

"He knows that and I know, he will be there for the baby. Any doctor appointments you have Harry will go with you. He's not backing out of this but he is however not getting with you." Steph says through gritted teeth. "You may have got yourself knocked up and this is the only way you'll ever have Harry in your life, but I'm telling you now I'm not letting you think you can storm here and think you can change everything. Nothing is changing except for that life that's growing inside of you." I feel relieved at Stephanie's words.

"You can't threaten me.." Naomi says with a forced smile.

"Why not? I don't have much to lose?" Her words sting and I try to get Stephanie's attention but she's too focused on Naomi.

"I'll back off but I'll have to communicate with him for our baby." I look away as I can't bear to see Stephanie's face as Naomi says that. I decide it's my time to say something.

"That doesn't mean I want to talk to you on a daily basis, unless it's about the baby I don't care." I say harshly as I look back up at Naomi and she looks to me. Stephanie doesn't even look, she completely avoids me.

"Like I said, he will be there for your appointments. Now leave. I've answered your questions and you know how I feel." Stephanie snaps.

"You can't tell me what to do." Naomi says as she folds her arms stubbornly.

"But no one wants you here. You don't need to be here tonight so just go home and keep yourself to yourself. I'm not playing your little games, I've met people like you far too many times. We will keep our word, if you promise to back off. Otherwise you're on your own, right Harry?" Stephanie asks and she looks at me, her face is full of disgust. I nod and she turns back to Naomi. "Deal?"She adds Naomi looks back at me once more, I look away and I hear Naomi mumble something as she walks away.

I quickly take Stephanie's hand and I begin to thank her for not.going mad but.I stop talking as she frowns at me and pulls her hand away. She leans towards me and lowers the tone of her voice.

"You've got a hell of alot of explaining to do, I only lied because I didn't want to give her the satisfaction that she needed. So this is far from sorted Harry, I'm nowhere near finished with you." She says as she walks off. I turn to Louis who let's out a large amount of air.

"Fuck that was tense, but it could have gone worse." Louis says as he runs a hand through his hair.

"Mate, you saw Steph. This is nowhere near over, she's going to slaughter me when we get home. She's really angry." I sigh as I shove my hands in my pockets.

"I'm glad I'm not in your shoes tonight." Louis says and I sarcastically thank him. I'm feeling a mixture of things right now, for once in my life I'm scared of Stephanie.

We leave the others at the pub as we quietly head back to the flat. As soon as we are inside Stephanie grabs a drink and we both sit at the table.

"Firstly, when we're you thinking of telling me?" She says as I sit down opposite her, she doesn't even look at me.

"I've only just found out, I was going to tell you tomorrow." I answer and she quickly looks up and her eyes sternly burn into mine.

"Tomorrow? Because I'd be going home and you think that you'd benefit from that would you?" She asks and I shake my head. "Just as we sorted things out and were actually trying to work on us, this happens!" She snaps.

"I'm not exactly thrilled by this." I say and she looks away, her face becomes a little red from the anger.

"You did use protection, didn't you? It must have split or something?" She suggests hopefully. I run a hand through my hair as I nervously go to speak,

"No, it was stupid of me as I wasn't thinking right, but she took the morning after pill!.." I start but Stephanie stands up and walks to the kitchen sink. She turns to face me.

"How could be so stupid Harry?! Not only have you got Naomi pregnant, you could have an std for all we Know!" She shouts and she turns away again.

"Look, I know I did a fucked up think and I really was stupid. But this shit has happened, I don't believe I have caught anything like that." I snap angrily as I stand up and I walk towards her, she turns to face me.

"I thought you had your head screwed on, but obviously not. You've got yourself in this mess no one else, besides Naomi. How the hell do you expect us to get through this?" She asks in such disgust, my heart falls to the floor but the anger building inside of me keeps me going. "The one thing I asked was for her to be cut out of your life, fat chance I've got of that now." She adds.

"So why did you say to Naomi that she's not going to change us?" I ask and Steph frowns.

"Because Harry, I didn't want her to think she could be so bloody powerful. I don't want to give her any time of day, let alone the satisfaction of ruining my relationship." Stephanie cries, she once again spins around away from me.

"She can't ruin us if we stick together." I suggest and Stephanie doesn't reply. "I love you more than anything and one stupid mistake can't break us. Please." I say frustratedly.

"I don't know if I'm emotionally strong enough for this." Steph mumbles, I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

"We've come too far to just walk away, I know things are going to be tough but it can be done. I promise." I say desperately, she shakes her head. "Everything you said to Naomi, you need to stick to it. Because I love you so much, I don't care about her or what she wants. I only care about you." I look at her hoping she will turn to face me. But she doesn't.

"You're going to be a Dad, this is my nightmare, it's automatically made it early impossible to stay together." Steph says and I step away from her.

"Do you even care how I feel and how emotionally this fucks me up? Because all I'm hearing is about you. I'm going to a Dad, a fucking Dad whether I like it or not. Something so life changing is completely out of my hands, do you realise how small and useless that makes me feel?" I ask as the tears prick my eyes.

"And I'm losing the one person that I really thought I could spend the rest of my life with. I knew deep down underneath the cracks we'd get through any obstacles that came up in our way,but this one's just too big." She cries as she looks at me. "I don't want this or to lose you. It's breaking me." She bursts out crying, "I know how scary this must be for you, but I'm the one losing everything. Not you." She adds. I wipe my eyes as I pull her into me.

"You're not losing everything because I'm not going anywhere, no matter what you say. I can't give up on us and neither can you." I say as she cries into my chest. "We will get through this." I say sternly as I continue to hold her in my arms.

Stephanie's POV

I didn't sleep all night. Everything kept going round and round in my head, nothing seems to make any sense. Harry's not been himself either, the others have kept out of his way as Louis must have explained.

"Leaving in two minutes okay babe?" Chloe asks and I nod as I stare down at my coffee.Chloe and Zayn crashed here last night for some unknown reason, I'm sure she will tell me what I missed last night in the car.

"I love you." Harry says s he crouches down beside me, I ache and hurt so much right now but I just can't walk away from him. This is situation is something he doesn't want either. This is the hardest thing I think I'll ever try to get through. "I promise we will be okay." His soft words leave his mouth and I let my head on his. I want to try and support him,to prove that love is strong enough to keep u going. But I'm numb, completely numb.

I stand up as it's time to go, this isn't how I want to leave but we've no choice. As Chloe says goodbye to everyone, I hug Harry little too tightly. This is the time when I go home and I'll be able to really think things through.

"Let me know when you're home." He says and I nod. As he kisses me, I hardly kiss back. I'm not doing this on purpose, I'm just a little out of it and I need to try and find a little sanity again.

I say goodbye to the others and I follow Chloe to her car. I don't look back at them after putting my bag in the car, I take a seat in the front. Chloe beeps as she pulls away and I sigh as I feel I can breathe a bit easier. Going back home is what I need to do, I'll be able to think better and hopefully I'll find a way through this.

"How you holding up?" Chloe asks as she sympathetically glances to me. I look at her and shrug.

"I just hate the the situation." I mumble loud enough for her to hear.

"Okay, I'm not trying to get involved but it just doesn't add up to me." Chloe frowns as she concentrate on the road, I watch her curiously. "I mean, she slept with him what two three weeks ago? So how would a pregnancy test pick up a positive result so quickly? I thought it had to be at least four weeks after? And before you say sue could have been ovulating at the time, but if she was the test isn't accurate until her period is due. " Chloe says and I frown as I understand what she's trying to say.

"But we don't know when it was due, so we don't know anything about her body cycle." I sigh as there's no way we can work this out.

"I just think it's all such a coincidence that Harry sleeps with her and boom, she's pregnant. I'm not convinced." Chloe says and I wish I could feel the same about her. "I swear my cousin conceived in the middle of April and she found out at the earliest stage in the middle of May, because she missed her period!" Chloe adds, she's made a good point. But is it too good to be true?

"So Naomi would have to be what, a month pregnant to have missed her period and then get a positive result?" I ask hopeful. I look to Chloe as she pulls over on the side of the road. She turns her position towards me.

"I'm pretty sure of it, it's because of the hormone levels. So if she's only just found out and is most likely a month gone, then Harry can't be the father!" Chloe grins excitedly. I really want to believe her and trust me, I'm on the edge of thinking she's right, but I don't want to get my hopes up to be let down again.

"I so hope you're right Chloe." I sigh and she bites her lip.

"Get Harry to go to the doctors with her, they will give her a due date then we will know for sure." Chloe adds as she starts to pull away. "That bitch doesn't know what's going to hit her." She smirks.
I smile at her for trying to help, all I can do is wait until that appointment.
