Harry POV

I sigh as I wait for Naomi, how long is she taking to get ready? I've been waiting for her for half an hour as I don't want to go inside, she'll miss her appointment at this rate.

I've had to take a day off today just to come along to this appointment. Stephanie wants me to be there for the confirmation of Naomi's pregnancy, apparently Chloe doesn't think it's mine. I hope she's right, for everyone's sake.

I glance up to see Naomi casually walking towards me. About bloody time, I start the engine as she climbs in.

"Sorry, I couldn't find my coat." Naomi sighs as she looks at me.

"You took that long to find your Coat?" I snap as I look at her, she nods as she puts her seatbelt on. I shake my head in frustration as I look away and make our way to the doctors.

Once inside, I text Steph to let her know that we are here. Naomi tries to talk but I give off either yeah or no, I've no time to give to her. I also start thinking to myself how much my life is about to change, if Naomi isn't bluffing that is. This stupid mistake is ruining everything and I'm trying to stay positive, no matter what the outcome is. If Naomi is lying then I'm officially done with her. I can't have her in my life anyway, unless she's telling the truth I've got no choice.

"Naomi Walter." I look up as Naomi stand and I do too. I follow the doctor into her little room and I take the second seat next to Naomi. "Okay Naomi, if I could get a urine sample from you." The doctor asks and Naomi holds up a tube the doctor's looking for and passes it to the doctor, who looks just as surprised as I do.

"I had a spare bottle at home." Naomi says and the doctor nods. I watch as she takes the sample and waits for the result. I feel like I'm waiting forever.

"Okay, so you are pregnant, congratulations to you both." The doctor says and my heart falls to the floor as I feel nauseous.

"Thanks" Naomi says as she smiles, her happiness feeds my anger. I look away as the doctor grabs a chart.

"So when was your past period?" The Doctor asks as she looks at Naomi, I look at her as she ignores me and focuses her attention on the doctor.

"Well they've been really up and down for a couple of months and I bled the other week." Naomi says and I suddenly feel like I need to leave the room. She turns to me and I glance back at her "We've been a bit stressed lately haven't we?" Naomi asks and I frown and look to the doctor, how dare she try to make out I'm with her.

"Yeah we have, we're not together so that adds more stress to my own relationship." I answer and Naomi frowns as I look at her, she turns back to the doctor. "Naomi took the morning after pill a couple of weeks ago, so we don't know how this pregnancy happened." I add and the doctor frowns.

"Was it on time when you took the morning after pill, you only have seventy two hours for it to be effective?" The Doctor asks and Naomi explains we took it right away. "Right okay, we're going to have to book you in for an emergency scan as there is a high chance that you were pregnant before you took that pill." The doctor says concerned and she starts to dial a number into the phone. My head starts going dizzy and Naomi looks at me worried.

As the doctor speaks many words go around in my head. Is it mine? Was Chloe right? Or did the pill just not work? Will the baby be okay? This is insanely annoying and I can feel myself getting hot and fed up with worry.

"Okay Naomi, can you get to the hospital in about an hours time? I've managed to squeeze you in." The doctor says as she looks at us. I look to a scared Naomi.

"Yeah we can get there." I answer and the doctor nods, Naomi looks at me a little surprised. The doctor confirms over the phone and hangs up.

"Will something be wrong?" Naomi asks and the doctor leans forward on the desk.

"It's more to check how far along you are and to make sure the pill has caused no damage to the baby incase you were pregnant before. It's just easier to find things sooner than later." The doctor explains and Naomi looks down and nods. I know there's a strong chance it's not mine but I can't think that until I know for sure. We thank the doctor and leave.

Stephanie's POV

I sit with Chloe and Lucy in my parent's living room as I'm home alone, I wait to hear from Harry. I'm so nervous I feel sick. My phone suddenly vibrates and it's a text from Harry:

Got to go to emergency scan, we find out exact date but I'll explain more when I see you. Xxxx

I read the text once more but out loud so Chloe and Lucy hear. They both exchange looks as neither of us know anything when it comes to pregnancy and check ups, is this normal? I have no idea.

"Are they going now?" Lucy asks and I shrug unsure, I take it they are but Harry didn't say much. "See I'd like to meet this girl, she reninds me of Amy and I'd like to give her an earful for how she's made you feel." She adds and I smile thankfully but I look away.

"She's not worth it Lucy." Chloe sighs and Lucy mumbles something.

I glance up at the time, Harry's going to be ages until he comes here. I'm getting fed up of waiting, it's already been a couple of days since all of this happened and I've hardly been able to sleep at night. Communication between Harry and I has not been great. We've both been nervous to the truth and no matter how hard we have tried to keep as normal as we possibly can, it just seems to be easier said than done.

"Is Harry coming here straight after?" Chloe asks and I nod. He took the day off to come home to take Naomi to the doctor, it makes sense for us to see each other.

"Why don't we take your mind off things and do something? They've got an ice rink in the town if you fancy it?" Lucy asks and I shake my head as that's the last thing I could think of doing.

"I love ice skating." Chloe beams and turns to me. "Come on, a bit of fun will do you good." She adds.

"I'm really not feeling like doing anything fun." I answer depressingly.

"Steph there is no point in moping around until Harry comes here, we don't know how long they're going to be." Lucy says and I know she's right but I'm just not in the mood for anything like that.

"Or we could go get some lunch?" Chloe asks and I sigh as I look to them both.

"Can we just order a takeaway and put a film on or something?" I ask as I know how boring I sound, they look at each other.

"Fine, but we shall go ice skating soon!" Lucy says and I nod in agreement as I don't want to argue with her.

Harry's POV

We wait in the hospital ready for a Midwife to call us in. There's quite a few people here waiting to see their baby on the screen, their happy faces full of excitement. Then there's Naomi and me, both sat here in silence trying to work out what the hell is going on. I'm running myself mad with wonder, we must be next as we've waited well over our emergency appointment time.

"Naomi Walter." We hear for the second time today. Naomi doesn't move, so I stand up and she looks at me.

"Come on" I say and she looks at me and sighs, she stands up and I walk by her side into the dark room. I take a seat on the chair next to the bed where Naomi is currently being advised to lay down.

"Okay Naomi, so I understand this is an emergency scan because you took the morning after pill we lays have precautions and can't risk not checking you over, okay?" The midwife sayings and Naomi silently nods. "Right, this may be a little cold." The midwife says as she rolls Naomi's top up and places the cold gel onto her stomach. Naomi looks at me and I look at the screen.

I wait impatiently, my foot tapping wildly on the floor as we wait for something to appear on the screen.

Suddenly my heart skips a beat as I see a little person, moving frantically. This is surreal, it's an actual baby, well not a baby more a featus. I've never seen something so incredible in my life. I watch every move it makes and I feel the lump in my throat slowly form. That's my baby..

"Okay, everything is looking fine and there's your little baby. I'm just going to do a few checks." She says as she looks at the screen. I feel Naomi's eyes burning into mine but I look away to the floor.

The feeling inside me is not something I had expected. I glance back up watching the little one moving around, I lean forward and gaze at it. How did I manage to create something so amazing?

"Have I harmed it by taking the morning after pill?" Naomi asks and I look up to the midwife.

"No, your baby is fine. It's got a strong heartbeat and as you can see he or she is dancing around in there." She smiles to Naomi's reply. I can't help but smile feeling relieved it's okay, I catch Naomi's eye as we both look genuinely happy. "I can also confirm you are twelve weeks" She answers and my eyes widen.
Wait, twelve weeks..
That means I'm not the father.

Fuck, I've no idea how I'm supposed to feel. Part of me is relieved that I'm not going to be a Dad and the other part of me feels slightly gutted after seeing that little person, I emotionally connected with it. All of a sudden I've lost something that I never even had. Naomi turns to the ground and looks disappointed, I know I can't bring it up here so I bite my tongue.

"Would you like a picture?" The midwife asks and Naomi nods as she asks to double check when the baby is due. My mind zones out as o should be really happy, even over the moon bit I'm not. I just can't get that screen out of my head and how incredible it was.

I look to Naomi as we stand up, she thanks the midwife as she takes the photo and we leave. As we come outside, Naomi looks at me.

"I suppose you're happy now." Naomi sighs as we walk towards my car.

"I wouldn't say happy, seeing that little person on that screen actually touched me believe it or not. It made me realise that all of this is real and you are carrying a little person." I sigh and Naomi looks at me with tears in her eyes. "I'm relieved, I can't lie. It wouldn't have been fair if it was mine because we would never have worked anyway, but I am sorry.." I say and she stops and looks at me.

"Well I'm glad that you and Stephanie can live happily ever after. Whilst I'm going to be stuck in this mess alone" Naomi snaps as she looks away.

"Don't be silly, you have a great family and you know that. You'll have the right support and you will just have to focus on you and your baby. You'll be fine." I say as I nudge her. I do feel a bit bad for her, my anger has subsided for now.

"Why are you being so nice? You have no reason too be." Naomi says as she looks at me.

"Because, and this isn't going to be nice for you to hear, I get a second chance. I can finally sort things out with Steph and actually think about a serious future." I answer and Naomi looks away.

"I wish it was yours." She mumbles and I shake my head.

"Do you know who the father is?" I ask and Naomi looks at me and sighs as I glance at her.

"I honestly thought it was yours, I had no idea about being that far along." She says quietly. "So it must be Aaron's" She closes her eyes as she looks devastated. I do feel sorry for her, she knew if it was mine I'd be there to support the baby. I'm not sure if Aaron willx plus he's such an idiot I actually hope he can grow up and fit the father role.

"I'm sorry Naomi." I say and she shakes her head.

"She or he doesn't need a Dad, I'll let Aaron know but I don't want him back. I'm going to do this alone, this baby is going to get all the love that I have left to give." Naomi says and I nod at words.

"That's the best way to think. Come on, I'll get you home." I say and we make our back to Naomi's.

The journey to her house is a quiet and awkward one. I'm so overwhelmed in mixed emotions I still have no idea how I'm supposed to feel. I am excited to tell Stephanie though.
As I pull up outside I look at Naomi,

"This is where we have to go our own ways, you've got a lot of responsibility coming your way and you need to be at your strongest for when that baby does arrive. I need to go my way and move on with my life." I say and Naomi looks at me and she blinks as tears start to form.

"I know it's the right thing to do but I just wanted my life with you. Stephanie doesn't realise how lucky she is." Naomi sniffs and wipes her eyes. "Thank you for today" She adds and starts to cry whilst getting out. I quickly open my car door.

"Naomi.." I shout after her and she stops and looks at me.

"Good luck.." I say and she nods and turns around walking inside. I sigh as I get back in the car and I make my way to Stephanie's.

Stephanie's POV

I watch the film that they picked but I'm not paying any attention. So much is going on in my head, is he the father or isn't he? I've lost count how many times I've wondered or tried to work things out.
I suddenly jump as the doorbell rings, Chloe and Lucy both run to the window, they confirm it's Harry so I quickly head to the front door.
Standing infront of me with a soft smile is Harry. As he walks in I look at him curiously.

"We will leave you to it." Lucy says and her and Chloe quickly gather their things. I say goodbye and so does Harry as they leave.

"So is it good or bad?" I ask as I bite my lip in anticipation. Harry takes my hand and pulls me into the living room. We sit down and I nervously watch him.

"Naomi had to have a scan because of the morning after pill, they worried that she was pregnant before and they had to check the baby. So it turns out she's three months pregnant so I'm not the father." He says and I feel my heart skip with joy, I can't believe it.

I feel blessed that I haven't lost him and that he hasn't got himself into this mess. But by his reaction, he doesn't look as pleased.

"Are you disappointed?" I ask a little confused. He shakes his head and sighs.

"I'm not disappointed. I'm just stuck in a mixture of feelings, after seeing that little person that I thought I created, it just got to me. It was incredible and for a minute I did feel some sort of love. For the baby." He answers and my heart does sink for him.

"Hopefully the next time you have to experience something like that, you'll be ready." I say and I reach for his hand. With Naomi having no hold over him, I finally feel free like I can love him properly without something stopping me. He looks at me and nods.

"I love you so much, everything that's happened has made me realise how much I want to be with you. Everything I do in life from now on, it has to be with you. Thank you for being supportive when I know how easy it was for you to walk away." Harry says with a smile. I smile back as it feels good to finally be sorting things out, before we were getting there then Naomi showed up. But now, nothing can stop us.

"Love you too." I say as I lean forward and I kiss him. I pull back and I look into his eyes. "This isn't going to be easy but we can bounce back, we've got Christmas and New Year's Eve to look forward too now." I add and Harry nods with a smile.

Hello Everyone!

Do You think Stephanie and Harry can finally concentrate on themselves? Surely they deserve to have a bit of peace and to enjoy what they have together?
