A Mermaids Tail

Chapter 15

Harrys POV

   'Guppies, please please please stop kicking my bladder.' I sigh as I enter the bathroom for the millionth time this morning. The guppies have been doing great despite the consent bathroom breaks I already love them to pieces. The boys ask me all the time what they may look like or what might they be, human or merman. I wish I had the answers for them but sadly I'm as far in the dark as they are about this stuff. I mean this is my first pregnancy and I have no clue what I'm doing! Besides the bare minimum knowledge I have, everything is new. Luckily for me a great invention the humans created is at my disposal, its called the intertubes which is held within a laptable. So many questions I have, have been answered by this glorious creation. Like... Is it common to loose sleep as pregnancy progresses? which is a yes so that made me feel better about the lose of sleep due to the gups. Speaking of, they are very demanding of my attention right now.

   Leaving the bathroom with a happily emptied bladder, I make my way to the kitchen in order to grab my strawberry mango banana smoothie. I waddle down the halls enjoying the silence held within the house as the boys had to leave for work. My fingers danced on the walls as I hum a happy tune to my babies. Just as my fingers grace the door way to the kitchen a weird sensation took over my belly. I lean against the wall as the tight throbbing continued for a few seconds before disappearing as quickly as it came. All the alarms in my head started to ring as that tightness can only mean one thing, I'm in labor!

   This cant be! I'm only seven months these two still have TWO MORE months to go! Panic sets in as I have no other thoughts running through my head. Finally getting a reasonable thought through my head I speed waddle over towards my laptable. Typing in my tightness feeling into the gougal search place I scroll through the list of possible places to find my answers. I settle on the most reliable source I find thanks to its name, WebMD. The boys have mentioned something about the place on the intertubes, telling me something about it but it blanks my mind as I try to find the reason of the tightness that happened in my belly.

    This is it world, I'm going to die! This place is telling me I'm suffering from bad indigestion, so bad that I only have hours to live. Slamming the laptable shut I do nothing but cry as I don't want to die. I still have babies to birth and, and my mates and more babies to birth in the future. I'M TOO YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL TO DIE!

   I didn't even realize how long I was crying for as I sat in the middle of the floor of the kitchen waiting for it to happen. Hours must have passed as I heard the front door being opened, its my mates. My poor mates that are about to loose one of theirs at any moment, I just hope they can save our guppies. "Haz! We're... Hazza what are you doing in the middle of the kitchen floor?" I hear Liam as he walks into the kitchen followed by the others. My sobs just echoed louder off the walls at the thought of them having to watch me die. Quickly two sets of arms are wrapped tightly around me which I recognize are Louis and Zayn's based off their muscles. At least I'm going to die in the arms of two of the people I love most. 

   "Harry? Did you go on WebMD?" Niall asked as he stared at the now opened laptable. I nod waiting for them to console me telling me that they'll take care of the guppies but that never happens. Instead I hear a collective sigh leave them before Liam puts my head into his hands, making me look right into his and Nialls eyes. "Harry, we told you to never go on WebMD. They're very inaccurate on diagnosis and they give people the terrible news that they'll die. Hell type in stub toe and they'll say you've got moments to live." Niall says as their words of WARNING come flooding back into my head. Thats what they always told me, I guess some places on the intertubes are mean and lie just for fun. I stop my tears as I watch their loving eyes gaze at me, feeling foolish I try to hide my face in Zayn's chest only to not succeed as Liam is still holding onto my cheeks gently. "Now love, why were you even on WebMD?" Zayn asked, I point at the laptable becoming to embarrassed to speak. Niall grabs it and does some magic finding out exactly what I asked gougal. 

  The boys all take a look while I cuddle into Zayn, trying to become as small as possible. Louis lets out a little chuckle before kissing my forehead, "Babe, its called a Braxton Hicks contraction.  A fake contraction is all you experienced. No babies being born and no indigestion I promise." he says calmly. 'What?' I ask completely confused as to how he knows this, "My mom was a midwife Haz, I know about this kind of stuff. Honestly with my knowledge on it I'm surprised I'm not a midwife myself." He chuckles placing another soft kiss on my forehead. 'So the guppies are okay?' I ask getting him to nod at my question, I turn over to Niall to ask the other question I was dwelling on. 'I'm not going to die?' I can tell they try to hold back their laughter as Niall answers my question "No sunshine, your perfectly healthy." each placing a kiss on my forehead all the weight that was on my shoulders have now been lifted. Going to bed later that night I remember the important lesson I learned today

    Never trust or use WebMD!
