As he had planned before he went to bed last night, Harry had prepared breakfast for Juliet as well as Niall, an unexpected visitor came just at the night time.
‘’I um, I have to tell you something.’’ Harry sighs as he sits at the table across from Niall.
‘’Alright, what’s up?’’ He asks.
‘’Juliet.. um.. has something that I, um, it took me by surprise.. and it will you too.’’ Harry says, nervous to tell Niall because he knows how he is – joking about everything and constantly wanting to have some rude banter about anything. Harry was used to it, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t get on his nerves.
“Dude.. does she have a STD?’’ Niall says lightly, leaning his arms on the table, feeling as if this was an intense moment.
‘’What? No, dear God, Niall.’’ Harry rolls his eyes, pushing a hand through his hair to get it out of his face.
‘’Then what is it?’’
‘’She has a baby.’’
Niall’s eyebrows shoot up and his lips part, ‘’Juliet has a.. baby? Is it.. real?’’
‘’You dumbass, of course it’s fucking real.’’ Harry laughs, shaking his head in shock as Niall just sits there, surprised and confused.
‘’Harry?’’ Juliet’s voice softly said as the door slowly pushed open.
Harry stood up from his chair and hurried over to her, glad to see her beautiful face this morning.
‘’Hey love.’’ Harry smiles as he reaches her, opening the door but she backs away, the baby her arms with his head against her shoulder.
‘’What’s wrong?’’ Harry asks, stepping over into the living room, letting the door close behind him.
‘’Niall’s.. here.’’ She mumbles lightly.
‘’I know, but look, I told him.. He’s still processing it, but everything’s fine.’’ Harry assures her, staring deeply into her eyes, concerned more than anything.
‘’I believe you… I’m just really tired.’’ Juliet sighs, pressing her lips against Luke’s temple.
“He keep you up all night?’’ Harry asks her.
‘’Yes, I hardly slept any.’’ She mumbles back.
‘’How about I take him for a while, and you get a few more hours of rest. And then after you wake up, we’ll head out for some shops, yeah? I have someone I want you to meet. But first, go get some rest, love, you deserve it.’’ Harry says, putting his hand on her waist as he leans down, kissing her forehead softly.
She bit the inside of her cheek, loving the way his lips felt pressed against her skin, but she tried so hard not to show it. But something inside of her kept buzzing – tell her that Harry knew. She ignored it for the most part, but it was still there.
‘’C’mon, little guy, let’s go meet Niall.’’ Harry says as Juliet hands him the baby.
As soon as Luke’s eyes meet Harry’s he smiles. Harry smiles back, glad to see that reaction be the first one for today.
He didn’t know if it was a natural thing or not, but ever since he first held this baby, he feels like it’s his, in a sense that he needs to do the same thing he’s doing for Juliet – safety, protection, and love.
It’s what they both deserve, and Harry gladly wants to succeed in doing it.
Juliet made her way towards the stairs as Harry went into the kitchen, Niall’s eyes popping out of his head as he saw the baby in Harry’s arms.
‘’What the fuck?’’ Niall said with a smile as Harry went over to the stove to cut it off and fix Juliet up a plate to put away since she would be sleeping for a little longer.
‘’Watch your mouth, I don’t want him hearing those things.’’ Harry says, raising his eyebrows as emphasis as he looks over his shoulder at Niall.
‘’That’s really a baby.. You weren’t kidding.’’ Niall sighs as he stands up, walking towards Harry’s location.
‘’No, why would I lie about this cute thing?’’ Harry rolls his eyes, smiling as he turns to the island.
‘’What it’s name?’’ Niall asks as he sits down on a stool, his elbows on the counter top.
‘’He’s not an it, Niall, and his name is Luke.’’ Harry says as he sits the baby on the counter, his hands on his waist as he looks down at the precious soul to see him looking back up to Harry’s gaze.
‘’Damn, he looks just like Juliet.’’ Niall states.
‘’Watch your language, you idiot.’’ Harry sighs, already sick of saying it to Niall – but he knows it won’t be the last time.
‘’So now you’re his mother?’’
‘’No, but it’s kind of pathetic that you aren’t realizing what your saying in front of this child.’’ Harry says.
‘’He’s a baby, he don’t know what’s going on.’’ Niall chuckles lightly to himself.
‘’He can hear you, so just shut up please.’’ Harry sighs as he picks Luke up from the counter and heads towards the living room, not in the mood to mess with Niall right now.

An hour’s time had passed, Lucas was still up and happy on Harry’s lap in the living room. Niall had left by now and Juliet was still asleep, but Harry was alright with that – he knew she needed that sleep.
The door opened and slammed shut, echoing through the foyer and into the living room thanks to the high ceilings.
‘’Harry!’’ Sophia sang as she ran into the living room, the clicking of her heels getting louder and louder as she gets closer.
‘’Yeah?’’ Harry says with a light laugh as she reaches the couch and plops down beside him.
‘’I wanna meet her! Oh! Is this the baby you told me about last night?’’ Sophia says, Luke coming into her attention.
‘’Yeah, this is Luke. Isn’t he adorable?’’ Harry smiles as the baby sucks on his pacifier – keeping his attention on Harry’s face.
‘’Aww! He’s so cute!’’ Sophia says as she smiles at him, ‘’Anyways, where’s Juliet?’’
‘’She’s asleep, I took over Luke this morning so she could get some more rest.’’ Harry tells her.
‘’Oh, okay, that was sweet of you, Styles.’’ Sophia smirks as she leans back against the couch, losing up some and beginning to not be so tense.
‘’I know.’’ Harry shrugs, smiling as Luke spits the pacifier out of his mouth and giggles, Harry’s fingers ticking his side.
‘’You’re really good with kids.’’ Sophia tells him.
‘’Yeah, Luke’s more important to me than any other kid.’’ Harry smiles lightly as he brings Luke closer to him.
The baby sticks his tongue out, revealing a few small teeth to Harry. With a swift and quick move, Luke grabs a fist full of Harry’s hair again, making Harry groan as he pulls on it.
‘’Looks like he likes it.’’ Sophia laughs to herself as she pulls her legs under her on the couch, turning to watch the scene.
‘’He does, trust me.’’ Harry mumbles as he watches the baby tug at his hair, not caring if he did or not – it made him happy and that was all Harry wanted.
‘’You’re gonna be a good father one day, Harry.’’ Sophia says with a smile, other things were in her mind though – perhaps Harry already is a good one…
‘’Hopefully.. I will be soon.’’ Harry says as he presses his lips against Luke’s soft forehead, leaving the baby with a kiss.

Juliet’s eyes peered over her shoulder into the full length mirror that hung on the back of the bathroom door. Her secret tattoo had made her feel like a rebel since she got it two years ago – sometimes you hang out with the wrong people and things just happen.
She looks away, not wanting to feel the shame right now. Harry had left her a note while she was sleeping telling her to get dressed in whatever she desired. When she went to look into the closet, new items had appeared – she assumed Harry’s friend purchased them at his request because Harry hadn’t left the house except for going to get the baby last night.
By now, however, she was dressed and put a little makeup on – which she found in the bathroom – along with a few pieces of jewelry that were new as well.
Along with those new things, on her night stand sat a brand new phone with a note saying,

Juliet,
Figured you need this. I know you have one, but I wanted you to have the best version - no offense! Take it as a gift, don't thank me. See you soon darling, hope you feel better.

Before long, she was half way down the stairs leading into the foyer. She was a little nervous about today, all that was going through her mind was nervousness and fear and what if situations.
She will be out in the public eye with Harry Styles today.
What if someone sees me.. What if something happens.. What if paparazzi show up.. What if…
For the most part, she was just nervous.
As she came into the living room, she heard Harry’s laugh and Luke’s giggled along with a girl’s light laughs.
She furrowed her eyebrows, walking up behind the couch Harry was seated on. She saw the girl the laugh belonged to sitting sideways on the couch facing Harry, watching them.
From the corner of her eye, Sophia saw Juliet standing there. She hit Harry’s thigh lightly to acknowledge him on her presence as she looked over.
‘’You must be Juliet? I’m Sophia.’’ She says kindly with a bright smile.
‘’Juliet.’’ Harry said as he looked over his shoulder to see her standing there, smiling lightly.
‘’I love those shorts you’re wearing!’’ Sophia says as she stands up and goes to greet Juliet properly.
‘’Thanks..’’ Juliet mumbles, her smile growing a little.
‘’Soph, you picked them out.’’ Harry says as he stands up and goes over to Juliet’s side.
‘’I know.’’ Sophia smiles, shrugging her shoulders, proud of her decision because they looked fetching on Juliet.
‘’You look beautiful.. and what you’re wearing is nice too.’’ Harry smiles as he steps in front of Juliet.
‘’You got him dressed? Thank you, Harry.’’ Juliet says, noticing Luke had been changed from his white onesie to a different outfit.
‘’No problem, how as your three hour nap? I hope it helped.’’ Harry says.
‘’Yeah, I’m feeling better.’’ She nods lightly, blushing as Harry’s hand touches her waist.
‘’We’re about to leave so go on and grab your purse, did you see the one I left for you?’’ Harry smirks lightly.
‘’Yes, Harry.. thank you for.. all of that stuff.’’ Juliet smiles up at him.
‘’Don’t mention it, it’s my pleasure.’’
