Yellow

Charlie's POV
After all the excitement had faded we had dinner with everyone then went off on our own to meet with Jenna and Jason who were ice skating at a popular spot on the river. It had been a tradition in a way to go there every Christmas and I was glad that they came back into town this year to keep it going. I grabbed my skates out of the back of the car, glancing over at Harry who seemed nervous.
"Are you sure you should be out there skating? I mean... It would be bad for the baby if you fall right?" He asked, getting protective in a way I had never seen him before but it was cute in a way.
"I'll be fine, Harry. I promise. I'll go slow and I can hold your hand the whole time so you can catch me. I would never do anything to hurt our baby, you know that right?" I asked, not wanting him to think I would be so reckless when I'm carrying our child.
"No, no. Of course not. I didn't mean it like that. I just... I'm sorry. I'm a little nervous about it and I don't want anything to happen." He said as he gently put his hands on my stomach.
I smiled softly and placed my hands over his.
"I'm nervous, too, but I know how to skate. I wouldn't be getting out there if I didn't think I couldn't stay safe." I said softly as I moved my hands up to cup his cheeks. "I love you."
"I love you, too." He murmured, leaning in to place a soft kiss on my lips.
"Oi, lovebirds. Come on. We've been waiting for ages." Jason yelled from down by the water.
I playfully rolled my eyes and took Harry's hand.
"Come on." I said softly as I walked down to the area where people were coming on and off the ice. I sit on one of the benches that were brought out and slip on my skates, waiting for Harry to finish with his before I took his hand and started skating along side him. It definitely made me feel better to be out here with him by my side, knowing that accidents could happen even though I knew how to skate pretty well. We skated with Jason and Jenna, catching up and talking about old times. Everything was great until a younger teenager bumped into me and nearly knocked me over. Harry thankfully caught me and steadied me on my feet.
"Hey! Watch it you little asshole!" He yelled at the kid, holding me protectively in his arms.
"Woah, calm down, Harry. It was just an accident." Jenna said with a frown as they came to a stop beside us.
I kiss his cheek gently to calm him down and feel him relax a bit.
"Guys, there's something we need to tell you." I said once I got Harry calmed down, smiling softly as I looked at our two friends. "We're having a baby."
Jenna was the first to let out a squeal of happiness as she hugged me tightly.
"No way! Me too! That's why we asked you guys here! How far along are you?" She asked with a wide smile.
"Oh my god, really? Jenna!" I said as I hugged back just as tight. "I'm only six weeks at the moment."
"I'm almost ten. Our babies are going to be born around the same time. Oh my god. This is so amazing. They're going to be best friends. We'll have to plan play dates!" She squealed.
Harry's POV
My brows raised when Jenna told us she was pregnant as well and I chuckled as I looked at Jason.
"Damn. We both knocked up our girls around the same time. It's almost like we planned it." I joked as I gave him a hug. "Congratulations, mate."
"Yeah, you too. I honestly never thought you would get her pregnant so soon, but hey its a good thing you already got the you know what." He grinned, knowing I had it because he had come down to help me buy it.
"I know. I'm taking her on a trip tomorrow and I'm going to do it then. I was going to wait, but now I don't want to. I still can't believe we're going to be dads. This is insane." I said as I looked over at Jenna and Charlie who were all smiles as they talked about baby stuff.
"Yeah, it's crazy. I'm scared shitless, but happy at the same time. It's an odd feeling." Jason chuckled.
"Right? You'll be a great dad though, Jase. I don't think you have anything to worry about." I said as I pat his back.
"So will you." He smiled. "The only thing I worry about is later on in the pregnancy when she's hormonal and crabby as shit. She's already getting a bit crazy. You wouldn't believe how horny she gets now. I can't keep up."
"And that's a bad thing?" I joked with a grin. "Just remember that she's always right no matter what and you'll be fine."
"What are you boys talking about?" Charlie asked as she skated over to me.
"Nothing. Just dad stuff." I smiled and wrapped my arm around her as I leaned down to give her a soft kiss. "Come on, let's go skate some more then we can stop and get some hot chocolate."
"You have no idea how badly I've been craving it." She said and I laughed softly.
"Well it's your lucky day then."
I took her hand and smiled as we skated around for a while, just enjoying ourselves and having fun. Thankfully we didn't have anymore issues with young kids bumping into her because my outburst scared them off to a different part of the river further down. Eventually Charlie got impatient about the hot chocolate so we headed back to the car, stopping at a nearby diner which was open all hours to get our hot chocolate. We sit down in a booth and I wrap my arm around her, kissing her cheek gently.
"Do you want a boy or a girl?" She asked me out of the blue as she rubbed her stomach a bit.
"I kind of want a girl, but I would be happy with a boy as long as it's healthy." I said softly as I placed my hand over hers. "I can't wait until the baby starts to grow and kick. It's going to be amazing."
"Yeah amazing for you. I'll be the one with the back pain and getting kicked in the ribs all the time." She said as she poked my ribs to make a point.
I chuckled softly and smiled.
"Well I can give you back rubs and tell our little baby to be nice to her mummy." I said as I kissed her lips gently.
"That would be nice.. and sorry in advance if I start getting bitchy or cry a lot. Our mums were telling me that they both got pretty emotional when they were pregnant. I can only imagine how it's going to be for me. I'm already emotional."
"That's true, but I promise I'll do everything I can to keep you happy and to wipe your tears if you start crying. I'll thank you every day for going through that so you can bring our baby into this world until we finally get to hold her." I said softly, placing a soft kiss on her forehead as the hot chocolate was brought over.
"I love you." She whispered, smiling softly as she snuggled into my side.
"I love you, too.... Move in with me." I said to her, catching her by surprise. "You already practically live at my house and I have an extra room for a nursery. I have a big backyard for Max and the baby. Move in."
A smile made its way across her lips and without a second of hesitation she kissed my lips.
"Okay."
