"Yes, I crave it. Yes, I will bite you if you don't bring it to me," Harry groaned as he put his hand on his ever expanding belly. He was six months pregnant and he was craving a milkshake..a strawberry milkshake to be exact.
Zac just made a face as he turned to look at the man beside him, "You do realize it's six in the morning right?" he asked his voice coming out harsh because he hated the fact that he had been woken from a deep sleep because his very pregnant, very hormonal boyfriend was craving a god damn milkshake.
"Then you shouldn't have gotten me pregnant," Harry gritted out as he glared at Zac. "You shouldn't have made me a walking incubator who wants fucking milkshakes at six in the morning."
Now it was Zac who glared as he looked at Harry, "Trust me if I had any idea you could get pregnant I would have gladly wore a condom," he said before getting out of bed and looking for clothes to change into. "Does it matter where I get the milkshake from?" he asked knowing that at times Harry could be picky on where his pregnancy craving foods came from. Sometimes Zac swore that Harry was a worse diva than Taylor though he didn't really become a diva until that thing occupying his stomach had gotten put there. The thing that would be here in three more months.
"No but please hurry," Harry spoke ignoring Zac's earlier words. "This baby really wants a milkshake."
"I wish the baby really wanted it's daddy to sleep," Zac deadpanned under his breath. "But no of course not, it has to already be ruining that for me," he continued as he finally found some clothes and threw them on.
Harry just stayed silent as he listened to Zac complain the whole time he changed into clothes and the moment Zac left the room was when Harry finally spoke again, "He always complains about how hard he has it," he muttered as he looked down at his belly. "He isn't the one with a basketball growing under their clothes," he continued as he stood from the bed having to go to the bathroom. "Nor is he the one who has a baby sleeping and kicking their bladder constantly. He has it so fucking easy little bean."

"So why did you wake me up at this ungodly hour to come with you to get the ingredients for a milkshake?" Taylor asked as he turned to look at his brother.
Zac just rolled his eyes as he drove to the nearest store. He had been aiming to just get the strawberry milkshake from a local McDonald's but then Harry had texted him asking if he could just get the ingredients to fix the milkshake at home. It had taken all that Zac had not to reply rudely or just plain refuse.
Instead he had replied back nicely and then he had called Taylor, threatening that if Taylor didn't come with him he'd just send Harry to his and Natalie's house and he knew Taylor wouldn't want that. Every time Natalie was around Harry she got baby fever and Taylor was doing everything he could to avoid having children...ever.
"Because if I have to suffer then I sure as hell am not doing it alone," Zac said as he pulled into the store and parked his car. "Anyway what better practice then for when Natalie and you have children, right?"
Taylor shook his head at the last words, "Natalie and I are never having children."
"Never say never Taylor," Zac laughed. "I said I'd never have kids because I was gay and then look what happened. God pulled a cruel and twisted joke on me and Harry got pregnant and is carrying this child who is already making my life hell from the womb. So please, never say never."
Taylor just swallowed hard as he listened to Zac, "It's not Haz's fault that men everywhere have somehow started becoming pregnant," he defended knowing Harry wasn't too blame.
"You're right it's not," Zac agreed as he turned his car off. "But God must be looking down and laughing at what he's done to all of these poor gay men who never wanted babies or who have to suffer now that their boyfriends are having them."
"Maybe God just wanted to be Oprah," Taylor mused as he got out of the car watching as Zac did the same. "He just pointed his finger at all these random men and was like you get a baby and you get a baby and you get a baby. Makes me glad I'm not gay because knowing my luck I would have gotten a baby."
Zac again rolled his eyes at Taylor, "That's not funny," he told him before going into the store.
"But it kind of is," Taylor defended before going silent when Zac glared at him. Sometimes Zac's glares could even chill him to the bone.

Harry who had been sitting on the couch watching some early morning talk show to pass his time waiting on Zac grumbled to himself as he heard a knock on the door. "Whoever is on the other end is going to get their hand chopped up once I get off this damn couch," he quipped as he did his best to get himself in a standing position.
"Don't people understand pregnant people have it hard getting back up after they sit down," he mused still once he was up and he rested his hand on his back which was now hurting slightly. "Anyway it's only seven and the only person who should be here is your daddy but nope he is taking his slow little time," Harry continued to rant as he walked to the door and threw it open without even checking the peep hole.
"Your boyfriend stole my husband away," Natalie spoke once Harry opened the door. "I figured it was another craving run. Zac always steals Taylor away when he goes on those."
Harry laughed as he moved aside so Natalie could come in, this time he'd let her live even if answering the door for her had been a hassle, "He says it's to train him for when you get pregnant," he shrugged shutting the door once Natalie was inside.
"If I get pregnant," Natalie replied knowing Taylor had an aversion to even having children. "Taylor still uses condoms or well he started using them again when he found out I stopped taking the pill."
"You could always poke holes in his condom," Harry mused as he waddled to the couch and sat down watching as Natalie joined him. "He'd never be none the wiser and if he is just tell him condoms aren't that effective and just show him the Friends episode with Ross after Rachel is knocked up."
Natalie narrowed her eyes after Harry spoke, "Have you been watching too much Friends again?" she asked knowing Harry had a slight obsession with the show from time to time.
"I'm six months pregnant and scared of leaving the house because of people looking at me oddly or having random women wanting to touch my bump," Harry shrugged feeling his cheeks warm up. "Anyway Zac bought me every season for Christmas," he smiled knowing that had been one of many gifts Zac had bought him. "I figured might as well watch them instead of going out and being a damn fish in a fish bowl."
"Guess that makes sense," Natalie said pretty sure if she were the pregnant one she'd at some point just hole up inside and make her life up until the baby's birth consist of tv and food. "Speaking of Zac again, when are you going to make an honest woman out of him?" she teased knowing she'd love it if Zac and Harry got married though she knew the rest of the Hanson clan or well their mother and father at least and maybe Isaac and his wife Kate would flip. They were the most religious and the ones who had not taken Zac's being gay well. They also to Natalie's knowledge were not keen on Harry being pregnant with their first grandchild, something she nor Kate had not given them yet for different reasons.
Harry froze at Natalie's question, he honestly truly froze because to be honest he didn't know when or if he'd ever marry Zac, "Who says we have to get married?"
"No one but I just figured with a baby..well that you two would want to make things serious," Natalie admitted before scrunching up her nose. "Not to mention I want an excuse to be someone's bridesmaid," she said knowing Harry would have bridesmaids. His closest friends were all females.
"You weren't Kate's?" Harry asked though his mind was actually still on marrying Zac. Did Zac even want to get married?
Natalie shook her head as she curled her lip up in disgust, "Kate and I despise each other. I think she's a stuffy bitch and she thinks I'm a slut who slept around before Taylor. We were never friends and she would have never chosen me for her wedding party."
"But she was in yours," Harry spoke as he raised an eyebrow.
"Diana's doing," Natalie frowned wishing she hadn't let Taylor's mother control so much of her wedding. "She guilted me into adding her favorite daughter-in-law into the wedding," she said before forcing a smile. "Anyway let's just change the subject and watch Friends. Zac and Taylor will probably be gone half the day cause..well they are idiots."
Harry laughed but he didn't argue with any of what Natalie said especially the idiots part. He knew well enough that Zac was an idiot. He had known that ages ago though. But the real reason he didn't argue back was because his mind wouldn't leave the marriage issue and somehow he kept thinking up different wedding scenarios through his Friends binge with Natalie though somewhere between the binge and his scenarios he must have fallen asleep but even his sleep was filled with thoughts of weddings to Zac.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Feeling a weight at the bottom of the couch Harry moved slightly and opened his eyes, "Zac?" he asked confused not even having heard Zac get back.
"Hey," Zac smiled watching as Harry woke up. "I was just bringing you the strawberry milkshake I made with Natalie's help."
"You've been back long enough to make the milkshake?" Harry asked as he did his best to get up into a sitting position.
Zac nodded as he handed the milkshake to Harry, "You were sleeping and you looked too peaceful to wake up," he shrugged. "And I also felt slightly bad for being an ass this morning so I let you sleep in.
Taking the milkshake from Zac, Harry smiled, "Well thank you babe," he said before leaning in to kiss Zac's cheek before he took a drink of the strawberry flavored milkshake. "Not bad for your first time making a milkshake either," he smirked as he offered the drink to Zac for him to take a taste.
"I may have stolen a taste on the way to bring it to you," Zac admitted as he gave Harry a sheepish grin. "Natalie may have also chided me for it as she walked out the door."
Harry just laughed and move the drink away from Zac before taking another sip of it, "Natalie...what would we ever do without Natalie," he mused.
"Lose our minds," Zac stated as he moved closer to Harry. "Even Taylor would lose his without her."
"I think thanks to her I'm losing my mind," Harry sighed just speaking without thinking. "So maybe I would be sane without her though I'd be a bit sad but sane, that's an improvement."
"Oh?" Zac asked as he raised an eyebrow. "Just how did she cause you insanity, love?"
Harry blushed as he tried to think of a way to mention this topic to Zac, "She asked when I was going to make you an honest woman," he sighed seeing a look of realization cross Zac's face. "She said she figured with a baby on the way we'd just make things more serious but I've been with you since I was eighteen and I'll be twenty-one soon. I'm having your kid for god sakes that's pretty damn serious in my eyes..but...her words just got me to thinking of you..and weddings..and then I realized I don't even know were you stand with the idea of marrying me."
Listening to Harry ramble Zac finally leaned over once he was done and pecked his lips, "It's cute when you ramble," he said seeing Harry shot him a look and he sighed, "but as for marriage I'm on whatever side of the fence you are on and if you don't ever want to get married I am content with that because we don't need no piece of paper from the city hall but then again if you do want to get married I'd be content being your wife."
Harry huffed at Zac's words, "Wife? I'm the pregnant one here so why does everyone assume you're the woman in this relationship?" he asked as he took another drink of his milkshake. "As for marriage I don't even know where I stand. I just know I need time to figure it out."
"People think I'm a woman because of my hair," Zac answered though he knew Harry had hair just as long as his own. "And I also look good in dresses," he said knowing that he had worn a dress once or twice on a whim though only around Harry or Taylor and Natalie. "Take all the time you need figuring out the marriage issue though because I'll be here waiting."
"Even if I don't know until I'm seventy?" Harry asked teasing the man beside him. The man who he would be content to spend forever in unwedded bliss with.
Zac nodded, "Even then," he replied as he leaned over to peck Harry's lips again. "I love you and I love our baby," he said as he put his hand on Harry's belly. "And to me you're already a Hanson anyway or I'm a Styles...and it will always be that way. I'm just glad you didn't bite me and that I got you your milkshake."
Laughing at Zac's words Harry just shook his head, "Don't tempt me Zachary. You do look a bit tasty right about now."
Zac just made a face as he turned to look at the man beside him, "You do realize it's six in the morning right?" he asked his voice coming out harsh because he hated the fact that he had been woken from a deep sleep because his very pregnant, very hormonal boyfriend was craving a god damn milkshake.
