Your arms around me.
November 2, 2015
“Penny we’re going to be late!” Harry’s voice echoed through the room, bouncing off the high vaulted ceilings.
“Give me two seconds babe!” Penny yelled from upstairs, she was slipping her feet into a pair of shoes and hurrying out the door. She smiled at him from the top step. “You look dashing.” She said sweetly as she walked towards her beau. He was wearing a black suit, his hair swept to the side.
“Gotta look my best to present this award to Simon tonight.” He said with a wink, taking her hand once she’d gotten down the stairs.
Three months after their reconciliation, things were back on and in over drive. She’d helped out behind the scenes for the remainder of the tour, the band had announced they were taking a break, and they had played their last show the night before.
Penny wrapped her arms around his neck. “I love you Harry Styles.” Her mouth pulled into a toothy grin, mirroring the expression on her loves face.
“I love you Penelope Duran. Now c’mon, we have duties to attend to and then my break begins, more or less, and I’m thinking we go somewhere exotic and far away from everyone so I can have you all to myself.” He led her to the door and out into the chilly night air, the black town car parked in front.
“That sounds perfect…” her voice was sweet, back to normal, and she really loved the ideal he’d presented.
“You look lovely Penny.” She heard Louis say as they arrived, the boys were set to present the MIT award to Simon Cowell in less than an hour, the boys were all gathered around in a back room – but there was a very real absence in their midst.
“Thanks Louis, you do too. All of you do!” She exclaimed, walking over to Liam and fixing his hair slightly, it was in her blood after all.
“Who got you all ready tonight? How did you manage without me for so long?” She asked, looking over at Niall. They had managed to make amends, everything was okay between them all, but there was definitely a rift between Harry and Niall that would never fully heal.
“Guys…” Liam started, his lip quivering slightly. “I wish Zayn was here. It doesn’t feel right.” He would look down, he’d been having a hard time lately and was definitely in need of the break. Louis placed his arm around his bandmate and gave him a squeeze. “We all miss him mate, but we’ll have many chances to go and surprise visit him now. Think of it, barging in on the menace spraying his walls and demanding he let us join. It’ll be our first stop.” Liam was laughing now; he and Louis had grown incredibly close since Zayn left.
“Five minutes!” They heard one of the stage managers call and the boys all began getting their shit together.
“I love you, don’t mess up, and make sure you don’t trip. Seriously.” Penny’s lips pressed against Harry’s quickly before she turned to leave, only to be pulled back into the man’s arms.
“I’m happy you’re here and.. also here.” He placed his hand to his heart, his green orbs glowing as he spoke. “I’m never letting you go again.” His lips pressed against hers, an urgency in his kiss, like he didn’t want to miss a minute with her.
“C’mon mate!” Louis said as he pulled Harry from the kiss.
“Love you! All of you!” Penny would yell before turning to walk to her seat. She pulled her phone from her purse, clicking on the name “Zayn.”
“I miss you love, hope all is well. The boys were talking about you tonight, you are very very missed.”
She hit send and placed her phone back in her purse, adjusting herself in her seat and watching the boys take the stage.

Penny’s eyes were fixed on the piece of plastic in front of her eyes. She was biting her lip as she nervously shook her legs.
“Please be two negatives. Please please please.” She muttered under her breath. She stood up from the toilet she’d been sitting on, pacing back and forth and checking her phone. Three more minutes.
She looked at the pregnancy test that was lying on the counter.
“Penny, I’ve got us some breakfast!” Harry called as he entered the room which sent Penny into full panic mode. She didn’t think he’d be back to the hotel so soon, they were going to meet her parents for dinner tonight since the boys played at the Jingle Ball in Dallas the night before, but she’d been waking up sick each morning.
“Okay love, be out in a minute!” Her voice shakily called. She looked back at the test, her heart in her throat as she read the results. She blinked and threw the test in the garbage, pulling herself together and washing her face before walking out into the room.
“You okay babe? You look ill.” Harry said walking over and feeling her head, noticing she was clammy and warm.
“What’s happened?” He pried, her eyes brows furrowed and she looked at him.
“Um, just felt a little sick to my stomach…” She didn’t even know how to say the words.
“I should probably go to the doctor though, make sure all is well inside. Of my stomach, where food goes. Because that’s all that is there of course.” She rambled walking toward the bed, since the situation with Niall she had trouble lying to Harry, not that she did ever, but she always panicked when she had to tell a little white lie.
“What’s going on? You’re acting weird…” His voice trailed off as his eyes glanced into the bathroom, noticing the packaging from the pregnancy test that Penny failed to hide properly.
“Penny, are you pregnant?” He asked turning back to look at her, his mouth gaping.
“Maybe…?” She cringed, clearly making bad decisions all around this morning.
“Maybe? Or yes? Baby, talk to me.” He rushed to her side, taking her in his arms.
“What did the test say?”
She licked her bottom lip, took a deep breath, and then nodded as her eyes squeezed shut. Harry lifted her into the air, a loud chuckle coming from his mouth.
“This is wonderful news!” His smile was goofy and his cheeks were red, Penny arched a brow at him. She thought certainly this was the last thing he wanted, even though he’d been liking a lot of baby pics on instagram lately…
“Wonderful?” She questioned. He would nod as he sat her down on the bed, pulling her in for more hugs. She felt bombarded, but relieved at the same time.
“We have to get you an appointment immediately; my mum is going to be ecstatic!”
Penny’s eyes blinked, tears forming slowly and then erupting into a fit of crying.
“What is it, do you not want this?” His voice lower and more calm now as he peered down at her.
“No, I just. I never thought this would happen, it’s all so much and so much more than I deserve.” Her voice quivered as she spoke, finally looking up at him.
“Never put yourself down Penny, we all make mistakes. It’s all in the past, leave it there and focus on this future. This future with me…and the little bean in your belly.” He let his palm caress her stomach, giving her a sincere smile.
“Okay.” She wiped her tears and buried her face in his shoulder, this was real. This was happening.
They were going to be a family.
“Penny we’re going to be late!” Harry’s voice echoed through the room, bouncing off the high vaulted ceilings.
