3. ed sheeran and cherry

"do you have to go?" louis softly mutters in
harry's ear with his rough morning voice. very tempting. very.

but no, he can't.

well...

no.

"you know, i promised ed that i would listen to some of his songs. i can't cancel lou" harry softly sighs as he traces louis' arm tattoos.

"fuck ed." louis mutters underneath his breath quietly. harry's quick to flip onto his stomach, resting his chin on his hands.

" much rather be fucked by you." harry laughs loudly with a smirk drawn on his face. louis swiftly pulls harry up to his face and flips harry onto the bed, so louis' on top.

harry's laughs cut off as louis' lips slam onto his lips. soft moans and groans exit both of the soulmates mouths.

louis slowly and passionately removes his lips from harrys and moves down to harry's pale neck.

"oh fuck lou" harry moans as he arches his back. as much as he loves louis, he promised ed that he'll be there. harrys mood swiftly drops as he lets his back fall back onto the bed and pushes louis off his newly red neck.

" wh-what's wrong?" louis questions trying to catch his breath.

" i have to go help ed lou" harry sadly mumbles cupping louis' cheek. louis shakes his head, muttering a " you don't have to" as he tries to continue sucking on harry's neck.

"louis." harry warns as he pushes louis away once again. louis' mood just crumbles, he knows he's being unreasonable but he just wants to cuddle his love and enjoy his company.

" i know. fuck, i know" louis groans as he moves off of harry and sits on the edge of the bed. harry rolls his eyes before crawling over to his soulmate and wraps his arms around his neck and sets his chin on louis' shoulder.

"i'll be home before you know it. then we can... i don't know...make that baby?" harry smiles as he whispers into louis' ear. louis softly chuckles.

"don't tease me baby." louis whispers before letting out a loud sigh.

"go get dressed before i change my mind." louis mutters. harry laughs, pressing his lips on louis cheek before slightly skipping into the bathroom.

" i swear to god— that boy is going be the death of me." louis smiles falling onto the bed.

" heard that!"

" well it's true!"

•  •  •  •  •  •  •

" will you be our surrogate? please harry." ed's words echo in harry's mind like some type of mantra. over and over again.

not again.

not again

please not again.

tears races down harry's rosy cheeks as he sits at the red light. his hands tightly gripping onto the steering wheel. his chin meets his chest as he sobs. this wasn't supposed to happen.

he should've stayed in bed with louis. he should've told ed that he would reschedule to another date. he should've listened to louis. he should be in louis' arms right now.

instead. ed's words repeat over and over again in his head. always ending with harry's voice saying " yes, i will."

his thoughts gets cut off by a loud honk from behind him. harry swiftly looks up at the light realizing that it's now green.

he wipes his puffy eyes off as he starts to drive again. apologizing to the driver behind him. he feels like he's gone on autopilot for the rest of the way home. he slowly pulls into their driveway. not ready to face louis.

he just sits there, refusing to take his hands off of the steering wheel. tears still rushing down his cheeks.

he turns his head only to meet louis' blue sadden eyes whose standing in front of the door.

he knows.

louis knows.

•  •  •  •  •  •  •

" harry, you need to push!" ed shouts as harry cries into the pillow. he can't do this. he can't do this.

" i need louis! get- get louis!" harry screams as his body starts to bear down on its own. his chin meets his chest as he cries loudly. he feels the baby move down, having yet to crown.

"i need louis" harry mutters as he relaxes back onto the bed. louis had gone over to liam's house to babysit the couple's daughter, no one expected harry to go into early labour.

" he'll be here. he's on his way" ed tries to comfort, still holding his hands out to catch his baby.

harry shakes his head, knowing that there is a huge chance that louis might miss the birth and while it isn't their baby, louis needs to be there to support harry.

" i'm— i'm so sorry ed" harry whispers before bearing down once again. sweat and tears drip down his red face. his lower back kills him as he tries his best to push out the baby.

" relax, relax. good job! and you have nothing to be sorry about. it's my baby who decided to come early and wouldn't wait to get to the hospital." ed softly comforts rubbing harry's shaky leg.

harry goes to argue but is soon shut down by ed holding up his hand and shaking his head.

"how are you doing? need anything?" ed questions waiting for harry's next contraction.

"tired— weak. want your little devil out of my body." harry pants trying to catch his breath. he hears ed laugh at his comment before another pain rushing through his vein like blood.

harry lifts himself on his elbows as he bears down again. this time, he feels the baby starting to crown. that's when everything dials up to 10. everything fucking hurts.

his hole starts to open around the start of the head.

"fuck! it burns! it burns!" harry cries out loudly as a burning sensation floods his body. his stomach tightly squeezed as he pushes down.

all of the hard work, he just did; is sooner forgotten as he eases off of pushing down. the head sinks back into him.

"fuck!" harry groans as the head just rests on his hole.

"it's okay. you're almost there." ed softly comforts not trying his eyes off of his baby's head.

harry lets out a heartbreaking scream as he bears down again. he feels like he's giving birth to a fucking watermelon. he holds onto the sheets as he slowly begins to push out some of the head.

"urh! you- fucking shit! your baby— has a huge head! get it out of me ed!" harry screams on the top of his lungs as the baby is stretching him to his limit.

he feels like he's underwater. he can barely hear ed's voice but he doesn't try to figure out what he's saying. he just needs the baby out.

"you're okay— almost! almost! you're so close!" ed shouts as he watches his baby's head slowly start to appear.

harry stops quickly to take in a deep breath before bearing down throwing his head back into the pillows as his body violently shakes. he can't do this for much longer. he's so tired.

"give it all you got h! a bit more! and— the head— the head is out! i'm so proud of you!" ed praise as he cradles his baby's head in his palm. even with all of the blood and birth fluids, he can tell the baby was stunning.

harry lets out a heartbreaking sob as the head pops out. heavy pants and groans fill the room as he tries to catch his breath. where is louis?

"you're so close harry! a few more pushes and then you're finished!" ed cries out in joy knowing he'll get to hold his child. harry on the other hand just want the pain to end.

"wh-where's louis?" harry's tiredly croaks, he really need his support, the pain just constantly attacking with no break in between.

" i don't know— that's not important right now! we need to get the baby out." ed tries to comfort but it fell flat.

"i- okay" harry agrees trying to gain some type of motivation to continue. he weakly lifts himself on his elbows again and tries his best to bear down as hard as he could but— he was giving up.

"come on! harder!" ed shouts as the baby doesn't move. harry lets out a loud grunt as he tries to push harder. he's exhausted.

everything is so sweaty and every part of his body aches as pain floods his veins. he feels the baby's neck start to exit but the shoulders will be impossible.

he can't do this. not without—

just as if the world listens to his thoughts and begs, the door swiftly swings open revealing louis, whose both out of breath and panicked. he races over to harry's side, helping harry lifted up his upper half as he bears down.

" i- i'm here! i'm so- so sorry! traffic was horrible and i couldn't find a babysitter for willow!" louis breaths as he lets harry relax back into his arm and softly kissing his sweaty forehead.

harry could care less about louis' whole shit show. he was here now and that is all that matters.

" it's—it's okay." harry grunts as another dreadful pain floods his body forcing him to push once again.

his neck veins are surely popping out grossly and his face was red as tomato but he just need the baby out of him.

he feels louis softly place a kiss on his forehead as he moves the baby out of his body.

"fuckk, you're ripping me apart! god my hips! " he groans as he lets his body force the shoulders out of him and as the second shoulder pops out of his little body.

harry lets out a loud breath as he relaxes back into louis' arms. his hole feels like it's on fire as the shoulders stretch him apart.

" you are doing so well baby. almost there. nearly finished. i'm so proud of you!" louis praises as he runs his finger through harry's sweaty curls.

"this is never endinggg—ughhh get it out, get it out!" harry screams as he forcefully bears down once again, he pats around for louis' hand and tightly gripping it.

"you got this h." louis whispers in his rosy ear. if harry wasn't in such much pain he would smile at his sweet words.

birth fluids gushing out of him as both of the arms pop out of him with the torso. he has to mentally forced himself not to catch the baby because like always the baby isn't theirs.

he takes a deep inhale relaxing for a second before he bears down one last time and the baby fully slips out of his body. relief floods his body as he relaxes. it's over.

he falls back into louis' arms, letting his eyes close as he tries to catch his breath. loud wailing filled the room.

he has to swallow down the lump in his throat, he will not cry. he can't cry. he did this to himself.

he opens his eyes slowly, locking eyes with the blue ones he fell in love with many years ago. they don't speak for a minute. letting ed have his moment with his baby.

" i love you" louis softly whispers as he cups harrys sweaty and rosy cheeks.

"i love you" harry raspy mumbles.

" thank you h. thank you so much" ed softly speaks as he rocks the tiny baby in his arms. oh how harry wishes that was him.

" of course" harry smiles finally looking down at ed who looks happy as can be.

empty. that's all what harry can feel.

next one...maybe.

4. Zayn and Gigi

"babe! i'm going out for a bit!" louis shouts as he grabs his keys from the coat hanger; shoving his feet into his slip on vans.

"wait wait!" harry yells as he makes his way down the stairs. louis smiles when he hears his husband's voice coming closer.

just as louis turns around, 's met with a body slamming into his. louis lets out a light chuckle as he hugs the boy in his arms. they rock back and forth as the couple hugs.

after harry gave birth to ed's child, louis and harry had a hard time as a couple. it wasn't that they were upset at each other, they could never be mad at each other. they are just upset at the universe and themselves.

they both felt like they had hit rock bottom, both of them felt empty inside as they kept connecting with the child, just to get hit with reality of giving the child away. it broke them. neither of them wanted to share their feelings with the other, fearing they would sound selfish and greedy.

both of them would walk around their house, fighting these thoughts and turning their frustration towards each other. their relationship suddenly became filled with fights and arguments.

it wasn't until harry found louis silently crying at the end of staircase that he realizes that they need to talk. so that's what they did.

they talked about the distance between them and the empty feeling that they are both feeling. they cried but also laughed at how ridiculous they've been. as months past, the couple reconnected. they found a peace of mind that they've given their friends a gift and that they will have that joy soon.

"you really thought you could leave this house without giving me a goodbye hug and kiss." harry smiles as stares back at his husband.

"i knew you were going come down and give me a kiss. i wasn't going leave without one." louis speaks as he shares a kiss with harry.

they pull away smiling like dorks. louis pulls harry into one more hug before pushing him away.

"go before i changes my mind and totally ditch zayn." louis shouts as he walks out of the house.

"bye, tell zayn i said 'hi'" harry shouts back as he makes his way back up the stairs.

" i won't!" louis jokes as he closes the door.

"louis!"

•  •  •  •  •  •  •

"hey mate! c'mon in!" zayn greets with a bright smile. louis returns the smile and walks into the large room. "wow! 'mazing house!" louis speaks as he slowly walks around looking at all of the paintings on the wall.

"louis!" gigi waves walking into the room, looking beautiful like always. louis quickly greets and hugs her before making his way to their living room, the couple following behind.

"it's been too long man, i haven't seen you since niall's baby shower, right?" zayn question as he take a seat on the couch, pulling a guitar onto his lap.

"yeah, yeah, i think so. i've missed hanging out and chillin' with you" louis comments back as he leaning back onto the couch with his hands in his lap.

"you know, with harry surrogatin' for our friends and work. i haven't gotten a break in a long time" louis adds on to this previous comment. it's actually nice being able to relax for once.

the room falls into a tense silence, louis' quick to furrow his eyebrows, sitting up from his position. zayn obviously didn't wanna just hang out, louis knows he has a question.

"oh no" louis softly mumbles to himself looking at the couple in front of him. he knows what they're asking for. oh shit.

zayn straighten up his back and clears his throat before speaking. louis takes a deep breath hanging his head low. wishing that this moment wasn't happening.

"so gigi and i have been trying for a long time—uh and a couple months ago, we went to check with the—uh doctor. you know, to see if something was wrong." zayn begins looking straight at louis.

"gigi can't carry, at least not to full term. even if she was able to get pregnant, there is a large chance that she will miscarry. the doctor said the best option for us would be to get a—would be to get a..." zayn continues softly, gently holding gigi's hand.

"a surrogate" louis finishes for him. he lifts his head up to look at the sadden couple before him. this isn't fair. "you need a surrogate." louis repeats

"yeah, we don't want some random person to carry our baby or you know babies. who knows." zayn awkwardly laughs

"can harry surrogate for us?" gigi cuts zayn off, just wanting to be straight forward with her question.

not again.

the universe must have something against harry and louis.

louis pauses, just stares back at the couple, he knows that they are exhausted. for the first time, zayn actually looks like he's about to cry. they need this yes.

louis rubs his hand over his mouth back and forth. before taking a deep breath. he doesn't know what to answer.

"let me talk to h." louis stated softly; standing up taking out his phone, making his way outside leaving the stressed couple on the couch. he takes a seat on the wooden bench that's placed right outside of the front door and dials harry's number, closing his eyes just breathing.

"babe! you can't believe what just happened! okay so—" harry excitedly starts.

"harry, i have a question." louis interrupts, damn he really doesn't want do this. he just wants to let harry joyfully talk and then just tell zayn and gigi, harry said he couldn't do it.

"what's wrong? do i need to pick you up?" harry quickly worries on the other side. "no. nothing wrong but uh—zayn needs a favor." louis softly adds.

"what type of favor? is it bad?" harry questions.

"he asked if you would surrogate for him and gigi." louis breaths. silence swiftly falls over the couple. "it's totally up to you. but i think you should" louis confesses rubbing his eyes.

" but— what about— okay whatever. tell them that i agreed to be their surrogate and that i can't wait." harry mutters, they both know that there is no point of pretending they could say no.

"okay, love you" louis speaks softly, his voice cracking midway. he could hear a sniffle on the other side of the call, he knows harry is most likely crying or at least starting to tear up.

"love you. i know you just arrived at his house but—can you come back home please?" harry questions quietly. louis nods even if harry can't see him.

"of course. of course. i'll be there in thirty minutes or so. i love you so much baby." louis croaks as the first tears falls from his eyes.

"love you" harry squeaks in a raspy voice. louis just wants to hold him and ignore the world. just him and harry.

louis hangs up the phone, takes a minute to wipe away the tears and makes his way back inside of the house where gigi and zayn awaits for his answer.

"he said, he would be honored to carry your guys baby." louis smiles, the couple jumps up in glee. kissing and hugging each other, tears of joy falling from their eyes. they look so happy. so excited.

that should've been harry and louis.

why couldn't that be him and harry?

why can't they just say—

no?

•  •  •  •  •  •  •

"my water just broke lou!" harry shouts from upstairs. harry leans over holding onto his massive stomach as pain floods throughout his veins. he hears louis open and close the closet, probably grabbing their bag.

"it's okay, you're okay. we need to head over zayn's now. can you move?" louis rushes as he races over to harry's bedside, holding his arm out to help.

harry shakes his head waiting for the contraction to end. "okay, that's okay." louis whispers letting harry tightly grip his forearm.

harry forget how much the contractions hurt and how uncomfortable he feels as the baby starts to lower itself down and shoves their head on his pelvis. the baby feels so close.

the pain fades away but softly lingering in his back. harry slowly nods his head; telling louis the pain ended. louis gently lifts harry off of the bed, letting harry lean on him. they take slow steps outside of their room, not in any type of rush.

"you're doing a great job babe. you are so strong" louis comforts as the couple slowly walks down the stairs. before they could make their way to the bottom, harry grabs onto the railing and leaning over, hinting that a contraction hit.

"breath, breath. you are doing so well." louis softly whispers, rubbing harry's back gently. harry lets out heartbreaking whimpers as the pain rushes through him. he can feel the baby harshly push itself into the birth canal. he's not going make it.

he has a large gut feeling that there is no way, he's going make it to zayn's house on time. the baby is moving down way too fast. he might be able to giving birth to the other twin at zayn's house but this one isn't waiting.

"i'm—fuck" harry tries to tell louis but the pain hits its peak midway. "after the contraction—just breath." louis mumbles trying to hold harry up while repositioning the bag on his shoulder.

the pain once again fades away but lingers softly. harry lets out a breath, he didn't know he was holding. and they make their way down the stairs, outside and into the car. louis gently helps harry in before racing over to his side; swiftly starting the car and begins the drive over to zayn's house.

after many contractions and about ten minutes later, harry's overwhelmed with the need to push. not now. not now.

harry harshly grabs onto the cup holder as he tries to push away the urge. sweat covers his rosy face as the baby harshly pushes itself down once again. maybe if he pushes a bit, the urge would lessen. no, he cant.

they are almost there.

they're almost there.

aren't they close?

"you okay?" louis question holding onto harry's clammy hand. just like that, the waterworks begin. harry swiftly shakes his head, choking out sobs.

"what's wrong?" louis worries glancing at harry whose leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed. "i—i need to push" harry cries out, opening his eyes and looks at louis.

"now?" louis questions softly trying not to let the worry flood his voice. harry just nods slowly obviously trying to push away the urge.

"okay. push. i'm right here. everything is okay." louis speaks softly. no good would come from harry pushing away the urge for twenty minutes. if the baby wants to come now, there is nothing they can do about it.

"but zayn—"

"zayn wants two healthy babies, push when you need to" louis notes, smiling at harry with soft eyes. "okay" harry nods

"you got this."

harry leans back into his seat, trying to give the baby room to make its way into the world. he leans his head back, still choking out tears. he's in so much pain.

"call zay-oh shit ugh" harry mutter as a really strong rushes through him, forcing his body to start to push. he squeezed louis hand as he bears down praying that the pain will be over soon.

he lets out loud grunts of pain as the baby starts to quickly drop down. please let the pain end.

"you got this shhh breathe" louis comfort as he dials zayn's phone number into his phone clicking speaker phone and place it in the cup holder. " mmmm get it out of me please" harry begs softly as he pushes down.

his face is now drenched in sweat, neck veins popping from his neck as he tries his best to bring a baby into the world. he hears zayn and louis talk but he feels like he's underwater. nothing is understandable.

all he knows is that louis was right now to him and he need to bring this baby into the world safely. he finally relaxes as the contractions comes to an end. he knows that the baby moved down but has yet to crown.

he pants harshly as he wait for the next contraction to flood his body. he glances over at his worried husband whose rubbing the back of hand with his thumb.

" you got this, i'm so proud of you" louis praises basically looking at harry with heart eyes.

just as harry goes to reply, another contraction hits which makes him look away from his husband and starts the endless pushing once again.

"mmm uh— fuck fuck shit, it burns so bad lou" harry grunts as the head begins to crown. tears steaming down harry's face as the start of the head start to exit harry's little body.

harry's quick to pull down his sweats and underwear to his mid thigh, lifts his body up and places his hand over his stretching hole. the head makes it a quarter out of him before the pain ends.

"g-get me a towel or whatever, i can't be the first to touch the baby." harry mutters looking over at louis with tears in his eyes. it isn't his baby, he can't be the first to touch it. that needs to be gigi or zayn.

if he holds the baby, he worries he wouldn't be able to let gigi and zayn take them away.

it takes a couple of seconds before he's handed a old sweatshirt that was in the backseat. he places it over his hand and waits for the next contraction.

"ouch, ugh" harry moans as he bears down once again, a rush of unknown birth fluids drenching the seat and the sweatshirt. his legs feel like jelly as he holds himself up. he lets out grunt as the head inches out of him.

" please end the pain! get—out of me!" harry screams as he's stretched, his hips are killing him as his body forces the baby out him. he lets out a loud sob as the head fully exits from his body.

"the head— the head is out of me babe!" he pants as he stops pushing, holding onto the head with his covered hand.

louis takes a look away from the road glancing down where he spots a large head out of his husband. he's quick to check for the cord around the neck but doesn't see anything.

"you're doing so well baby! almost done!" louis smiles at his husband looking back at the road.

harry pushes down releases the neck with a bunch of fluids. he lets his chin meet his chest as he bears down. with two pops, the shoulders and the torso release into his hand.

"almost done—" harry raspy mutters as he pushes down for the final time. the baby and fluids cover his hand and the seat. he lets out a breath of relief as the baby is finally out.

"the baby's out! zayn! you're a dad!" harry pants with a small smile on his face. he carefully makes sure the sweatshirt cover the baby before sitting down avoid the cord.

the baby wails loudly as it takes its first breath of air. harry places the baby on his lap, refusing to cuddle the baby in his chest.

he knows that the baby's twin is about to force themselve out into the world. but harry just lets the relief flood his body. he hears zayn and gigi crying and celebrating over the phone.

they seem so happy.

he feels the car pull up to zayn's house and his eyes quickly meet the sobbing couple whose standing at the beginning of the driveway. as soon as the car is parked, the midwife, zayn and gigi swing his door, zayn cuts the cord, separating the baby and him forever.

"oh hey there darling" gigi softly speaks the crying baby girl. harry could help but cry at the happy moment, quickly looking away before he breaks down.

louis quickly pulls harry into a hug, whispering...

"someday, that will be us"

yes

someday...
