Not As Planned

Word Travels Fast

Leah's POV:

Harry and I had just woken up and it was about nine in the morning. Harry was in the shower freshening up before everyone came over. I was comfy on the couch watching the E! news.

Everything was mostly about Kim and Kanye's wedding photo shoot and all that drama, and then a short segment of me and Harry came on.

"The hot couple was spotted yesterday casually walking around town hand in hand," a picture of Harry and I leaving the cafe surrounded by hysterical girls. My head was down while Harry pulled me through the crowd. "But we looked closely and something pretty big and sparkly caught our eyes." they zoomed in on our hands that were clasped together and showed the perfectly clear picture of my ring.

"Did Harry put a ring on it?" The woman's voice shrieked.

"These love birds are finally tying the knot." the mans voice said the camera finally turned back to the people.

"Well she is one lucky girl!" the woman dramatically fanned herself.

"I'll say. Stay tuned for more on Mr. Styles shocking engagement." the man winked at the camera and a commercial came on. I then heard a pair of foot steps coming down the hall way.

"Anything good on?" Harry asked as he flopped over the arm of the couch, slinging his wet hair everywhere.

"Just E! News talking about the engagement." I tried to fight a smile at the word.

He started to smile too then it faded. "Wait, how do they know?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Walking out of the cafe. All the girls and paps. They showed a picture saying that the ring was 'big and sparkly'." I rolled my eyes. He nodded and settled down on the couch beside me. "word travels fast around here." I sighed.

"Management is probably pissed." He mumbled rubbing a hand over his face.

"Who gives a crap? Like you said before all the others will be behind us and they are stupid enough to cut y'all lose, I promise you another label will jump at the chance to sign you. So no worries about those idiots." I said. Harry seemed to relax a bit. He leaned in to kiss me just as the door bell rang. I laughed pushing his chest and walking over to the door.

"Well hello strangers." I smiled as the whole group walked in.

"Why did you call us over here?" Mady trudged through the door. We waited till all of them were sat down before we began talking.

"Leah and I came up with this idea yesterday about making this into a little game." He wore a sly smile on his face.

"We are pretty much divided between weather the baby is a boy or a girl, so we decided that we are not going to find out the gender." I looked at the other four girls, "None of are." And their jaws dropped.

"Well, My mum and sister will." Harry shrugged.

"We have a wipe board on the fridge split in half. One side for a girl and one for a boy. We want you to write your names under which one you think it will be. And for 35 weeks you can change your choice, if you feel the need." I explained the first half.

"After her 18 week appointment we will start listing names. You can write one down and if you agree with a name that is already up there you just put a tally by it." Harry finished off. "Any questions?" Everyone looked at us like we were crazy, and then Avery spoke up.

"It's on!" She laughed and raced to the kitchen. Everyone laughed and followed after her, as did Harry and I.

"So if we feel the need, we can change our choice?" Liam asked and I nodded.

Once everyone cleared away we scanned over the list.

Boy:

Louis

Niall

Girl:

Danielle

Perrie

Either:

Mady

Avery

Liam

Zayn

It was exactly what I expected. Harry and I quickly added our names to the girl side before we headed to the livingroom. When we walked in Louis suddenly jumped up off the couch.

"Let the games begin!!"

~Later That Day~

Since we had all the others in here for breakfast we decided to have Harry's family over for dinner. When we called Anne she just insisted on us coming over instead, so that's where we are going now.

"Ready to go babe?" Harry asked as he slipped his boots on a grabbed his hat.

"Yeah, just a second..." I shouted back at him while I sucked in my protruding stomach in an attempt to button my size 7 jeans that were now about a size too small.

"Finally." I breath out as I got the button through the hole with out it popping off.

I slipped my sandals on and grabbed my phone before waddling out of the room and down the stairs.

Harry had a small smile on his face as he watched me struggle to pull my blue hoodie over my head. He walked over to me and helped my pull it all the way down and running a hand over my head to tame the fly a ways. He kissed my head before he took my hand and led me out to the car.

"I haven't had a dinner with my family since before the last tour started." Harry sighed.

"Well then now is a good time to have one." I smiled at him then turned to look out the window.

Within no time we were pulling in to Robin and Anne's driveway. Harry had already hopped out of the car and had jogged over to my side and helped me down. He clasped our hand together as he led me to the front door. Of course Gemma would be the one to answer the door.

"Hey you two," she hugged us both, "come on in and kick your feet up." Harry led me inside and Gemma shut the door behind us.

"Hello Leah, Harry." Robin greeted us. He stood from the chair he was in and walked over to us. He grasped his stepsons hand and then pulled him in for a hug, which Harry returned. Then Robin came up to me and gave me a quick hug. "How have you been?"

"Pretty good." I nodded and smiled. Just then Anne waltzed into the room.

"The steak should be done soon." she wiped her hands on her apron then pulled me into a hug. "I'm glad you could come."

"Wouldn't miss a family dinner." I smiled as she pulled away to embrace her son.

"Ohh, let me see the ring!" she squealed, still with an arm around Harry's waist.

I felt the heat build up in my cheeks as I extended my hand for her to see the eye catching gem on my finger.

"Oh my." She gasped, "Gemma told me it was beautiful, but I didn't expect something this gorgeous." She pat Harry's back looking up at him in awe. He just shrugged and smiled.

"Mum, I believe the meat is burning." Gemma said in a casual tone. Anne's eyes blew wide as she rushed to the kitchen.

"Well, all of you get in here if your hungry." she laughed.

Anne had gathered all the plates and put them in the sink. "So what did you have to tell us?"

"Well we came up with this plan, well a game, and none of us are going to find out the gender. But we were wondering if we could trust you and Gemma to know?" Harry asked.

"Know what the baby is?" Gemma asked.

"Yes," I answered, "and maybe paint and set up the room?"

"I would feel honered to." Gemma put a hand over her heart smiling at us.

"I would love to! I need something to keep me busy now a days." Anne smiled too.

I glanced over at Harry and then back at them, "Perfect."
