TW: anxiety. When the missus and Harry find out they are pregnant and super excited, but, the missus wakes up in the middle of the night and full of anxiety - gone all hot, feels sick etc and Harry is so good at making sure it’s ok, and that it is totally normal to be anxious and how incredible she is going to be 💕
"Harry, I'm telling you, I really feel like I can't breathe!"
Harry, who had wedged himself on the edge of her side of the bed scooted even closer, one hand rubbing lightly over her trembling leg, the other clutching one of her hands near his chest.
"I know baby, but you are breathing. I can see you breathing right now, okay?" he explained softly.
Her glassy eyes moved to his, the overhead fan Harry had thrown on attempting to cool her flushed cheeks. "If I can't breathe, the baby can't breathe." With each word, her voice tightened and rose in panic and her eyes welled up.
"You're breathing," he promised again. "Both of you are breathing, you're talking to me, you're brain's just going to fast. It's alright." He lifted her hand to his lips to kiss her knuckles. "You're in our bed. With me, your husband, who you love so much. Who's the light of your life, and the funniest person you know..." Harry waggles his eyebrows and looks up as if pondering his list of qualities. "Most handsome...loves you more than anything."
She laughs wetly, shakily, batting at her eyes.
"Slow down," he whispers, kissing her fingers again. "Just slow down."
She closes her eyes and hauls in a breath that still bobs in her throat but doesn't make her chest burn nearly as much. She doesn't feel her heartbeat pulsing as heavily in her ears. Focusing on feeling Harry's chest moving against her hand pressed there and trying to match the pace.
"I'm just so scared I'm going to fuck it all up," she whispers. "They need me to protect them and what if I do something wrong? It's our baby you know? I don't want to mess anything up."
Harry has to will himself not to start blubbering too. "You're doing so good, baby. So good. And I know you're doing everything you can to do your best for our baby. We've only know about them for a few weeks and I already see that. So if anything does happen, it won't be because you did anything wrong. "
