{Harvey's POV}
'Dear Gods, what it the name of Odin happened last night?' I groaned as I began to awaken slowly. My head was pounding, and I couldn't open my eyes do to the bright light around me. I brought a heavy arm up to shield my eyes and sit up, hoping to Thor I would figure out just what went down last night that I couldn't remember for the life of me. Carefully, I shook my head and got to my feet. Maybe using the bathroom and splashing my face might awaken me a bit more than I was now. I scratched my chest and realized I wasn't wearing a shirt which wasn't at all because it was September and still got kind of hot for Archipelago, the state we lived in which was on the island known as Iceland. It would be getting colder as the months went on until May came along.
However, something that did strike me to be off was my pants, which were off and so were my boxers. I usually never slept naked. Sighing, maybe I got hot and took them off while half asleep, sounded reasonable. Or did until I heard a shift on the bed and I looked over to see Courtney lying in my bed and from what I could see, she was naked too. Why was Courtney in my bed!? Oh Gods, what happened last night!? I quietly got out of the bedroom after grabbing my boxers from the floor and slipping them on while getting to the bathroom. I gripped the sink with my hands and panted hard, trying to calm down.
Why was Courtney Bogsven naked and in my bed! Not just in my room, or in my house but MY BED and naked?! I didn't understand, what happened last night? My head hurt terribly, I looked horrible and felt worse than that. So much running through my mind, had Courtney and I had sex? Is that why we were naked in bed together, that had to be it. Nothing else made sense, but why would we have sex?! I felt something rising from my stomach into my throat; I was going to throw up. Moving from the sink, I leaned over the toilet and proceeded to puke. Why would I be puking? Why couldn't remember anything about last night? Did Courtney?
After throwing up, I wiped my mouth and flushed then went to splash my face. "Come on, Harvey, think and remember..." I urged myself while staring in the mirror. Closing my eyes, I began to remember the event of last night. It started with Courtney getting me to join the party by promising me a dance before the evening was over, so I agreed and was bored until 11 pm. I remember the punch tasting a little off and feeling relaxed and tired. As I was leaving for my house, Courtney stopped me, and we had our dance. After that is when things began to get weird when Courtney kissed me, and I kissed her back then she asked if we could ditch the party to go to my house because she was bored.
~Flashback~
"What about your parents?" I inquired.
"Out of town for a meeting until tomorrow afternoon. Come on, Harvey, spend time with me. I find you more interesting than them," Courtney motioned to the people still dancing and acting like fools.
I might never get this chance again so what the hell, right? I held her hand and pulled her towards my house as she smiled happily and followed, we snuck from the party and got inside. "So what do you want to do?" I asked.
"Will you show me around the house? I've never been in here before," Courtney asked, I nodded and began to show her around my house. The living room, kitchen and dining room, bathroom. I didn't take her in my parent's room or their office but showed them where they were, and finally, we ended the tour at my room.
"And here's my room. Not much but I'm a simple guy," I shrugged as she moved inside and looked around.
"I like it," Courtney laughed a little as I leaned against the wall and watched her admire everything before walking back over to me and smiling, she leaned up and kissed me while pressing her body into mine. I was a little surprised, but I kissed her back as she grabbed the front of my sweater and pulled me with her towards my bed.
"Woah," I stopped her and broke the kiss staring into her eyes, "What are you doing?"
"I want you, Harvey. Don't you want me too?" Courtney asked looking up at me.
"O-Of course I do but shouldn't we...take this slow? I mean we just started hanging out, and you never noticed me before now," I admitted.
"Oh, Harvey," Courtney smiled while cupping my cheek, "I've always noticed you. Your auburn hair and emerald green eyes, your lean but firm body, the smile you always wear. I've liked you for a while, but I was just shy you wouldn't feel the same,"
"Are you kidding, I've been crazy about you since I met you," I told her as she smiled.
"Then there's no reason we can't be together," Courtney said as she kissed me again. I couldn't help it; I'd only dreamed about something like this happening where I could have the chance to be with Courtney. Having her want me as she did now, I kissed her back and wrapped my arms around her waist and led her to my bed while we were still making out, I laid her down as she continued to ask for more. Suddenly, I felt something off. I was dizzy, and things got blurry around me while feeling like my clothes were being taken off and vaguely saw Courtney's come off too. "Take me,"
~End Flashback~
That was the last thing I heard before not remember a thing. So Courtney and I did have sex, nothing else explained the events leading up to us being in my room alone, and now me waking up naked next to an equally undressed Courtney in my bed. Gods, please don't let her hate me. I splashed my face again and took a few deep breaths, she and I had to talk about this. I grabbed two aspirins from the medicine cabinet and took them with some water, that would take care of the headache. I was assuming I had a hangover because the spike had to be punched, there was no way I would have agreed to have sex with Courtney Bogsven the night we admitted to liking one another, and I prayed she recalled that event as I did.
I grabbed two more pills and a bottle of water from the fridge before returning to the room and saw her still asleep with a small smile on her face. Courtney was beautiful; bright blond hair and oceanic blue eyes. I placed the aspirins down with the water then crouched at the side of the bed and reached over to her.
"Hey. Courtney, you gotta wake up now," I said to her in a soft voice, shaking her arm a little. Courtney groaned as her eyes fluttered open and looked around, upon seeing me, she got freaked out. "It's okay, please don't scream. I know it's confusing right now, just...take these aspirins with the water, then use the bathroom and splash your face. You'll feel better, and hopefully remember last night," I tried quickly.
Courtney took the pills from me and then swallowed them with water; she was going to get up until she realized she was naked. "I-I'm..." she paused a moment, "Did we have sex last night?" Courtney asked while keeping the blanket pulled up to shield her chest from sight. I got her clothes for her and nodded.
"Yeah, we did. It took me a few minutes to figure out too. Waking up naked with a woman, clothes strewn about on the floor usually doesn't signal anything else. I didn't remember it. First, I think that's because someone spiked the punch last night and we were drunk, or buzzed at least," I informed calmly so she could take it in slowly,
"Oh, I see. Um, did you by chance happen to remember me admitting to liking you a lot and wanting to be with you?" Courtney blushed a little.
"Yeah, I remember everything from last night after splashing my face and puking a few times. Never drinking again," I laughed some and she did the same. "Are you okay? I didn't hurt you, did I?" I inquired.
"I'm a little sore but otherwise okay. Are you? I feel like I scratched you a lot last night," Courtney asked.
"I never checked, I feel fine, though. Courtney, I'm sorry about last night. I got lost in everything and-" I began, but she stopped me.
"No, no. It's okay, Harvey. I got lost in it too; you're the only guy to show me kindness even if I ignored you a lot. I just worried the types of things that would get said about us. I have a certain...image to uphold being the mayor's daughter. I'm sure you understand being the son to one of the best dragon researchers and doctors around?" Courtney told him.
"I do. But I do like you a lot, and I want to be with you," I said boldly.
"I feel the same about you. We can be together, but I think for a while we should just keep it to ourselves?" Courtney suggested.
"I agree. So, we're a couple now and keeping it from everyone for a bit? I can deal with that. Uh, you should probably get dressed and back home before someone sees you coming out of my house. Oh, I suggest we also don't say anything about last night to anyone," I offered.
"Couldn't agree more, Harvey. Let's exchange numbers and then I can get dressed and get home," Courtney smiled, and I got my phone to get her number, then I sent her a message so she would have mine. I led her the bathroom, and she got herself dressed, I peeked outside to see no one was up yet and most knocked out on the ground. Drunken idiots, least I made it back to my house.
"Its clear, Court. You should be able to get across without a problem," I told her with a smile, we shared a small kiss and hugged before she made it across the street and to her house. I closed the door and couldn't help but throw my fist in the air with joy. Courtney Bogsven was my girlfriend! Gods, I couldn't be happier about it. I felt like things were finally changing for me and it would all be okay.
(A Month Later)
{Regular POV}
Harvey and Courtney loved being in a relationship, and though it was kept secret from everyone including their parents, they saw each other every day without being seen by others. In school, they would pass glances and act like it used to be, but alone during class time, they would both get a pass to the bathroom to get just a minute alone in the halls to hug and kiss. Outside of school, it was easier because their parents were too busy to notice the hanging out. Courtney would tell her parents she was doing a project with a friend then go to Harvey's house where they would cuddle on the bed, watch TV, enjoy dinner together, and even make out.
The young lovers were happy and said they would announce their being together at the Winter Ball in December, held the week before Christmas. A point in their relationship where they would have been together for three months but still not tell a soul about them having sex, which they had done three more times since the first one the night of the party. It wasn't a big thing between them but now and then when they got in a heated make out session that it would turn into sex and always protected. That had become a matter of concern a week after they got together, but Harvey had found the used condom in the trash in his room and knew that the first time of them ever having sex was in fact protected.
It had been a month since they got together, Harvey wanted to take her out on a real date to commemorate the occasion, but they'd have to travel to outer Berk where no one knew them and use false names to avoid being questioned. However, Harvey had noticed that his girlfriend seemed a little distant this past week and he was worried for her. More so today because she didn't meet him by his truck at the school as they did every morning. Harvey parked in a spot where they couldn't be seen unless they were on the driver's side of the car which was blocked by bushes and it gave them a little privacy until the warning bell rang five minutes before first class began.
Harvey checked his phone for the time; 7:23 AM. In two minutes, the warning bell would sound, and he wondered where his girlfriend was. Courtney was usually here by now because they spent ten minutes near his truck before the warning bell rang. Harvey pulled up their conversation in his messages, the last one he sent was at 11:45 pm when they said I love you and goodnight to one another. Harvey headed for the school after locking the truck and typing out a text to her.
Good morning, beautiful. How was your sleep? -Harv
Harvey didn't see a response as the bell rang, he pocketed his phone and went to first period hoping to hear from Courtney soon.
(Lunch Hour)
As the third period ended, Harvey grabbed his lunch from his locker then went to sit in the cafeteria. Just as he sat down, his phone vibrated as he grabbed it and read it over, a message from Courtney.
Hey, babe, I didn't sleep well at all. I'm sick, been throwing up all morning with a headache. Not coming to school today but I want to see you still, can you come over after school? -Court
Of course, I can, Court. I'll be there right after the last bell. Any idea what can be making you sick? -Harv
Harvey replied to her as he pulled out his sandwich to wait for an answer from her. Fifteen minutes had passed before he felt the vibration again.
I don't know, Harv. I've been feeling off all week but thought nothing of it until I woke up sick this morning. I'm going to try and get some more sleep, see you in a few hours. Love you. -Court
"See you around 2:45 pm. I love you too. -Harv
Harvey hoped it was nothing serious, but he wouldn't mind taking her to the doctors if she needed to go. For now, all he could do was wait until after school to see her and find out what was bothering her because this was the first of Harvey hearing that she wasn't feeling well all week.
(After School; Courtney's Residence)
Harvey got off school grounds as fast as he could and parked at his house once reaching the neighborhood, he rushed right to Courtney's and used the spare key that she had told him about. Harvey got inside and went right to Courtney's bedroom to see her lying there under the blanket; he kissed her forehead lovingly.
"There you are," Courtney smiled to him.
"I told you I would come after school. How do you feel?" Harvey asked.
"A little better, I had some crackers earlier. How was school?" Courtney inquired as Harvey sat on the edge of her bed.
"A bore without you. So, what's going on with this sickness babe? Why didn't you tell me you were feeling off all week, I've been worried about you." Harvey questioned.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to worry you if it was nothing. It's been going on a week now; feeling sick with nausea, headaches, fatigue. Some of that has tapered off now, just not sure where it came from." Courtney told him.
"Didn't you tell me two weeks ago that those were symptoms of your period?" Harvey looked at her.
"Yeah, figured I'd warn you so you wouldn't think I was a bitch on purpose," Courtney chuckled a little.
"Wouldn't see you as one. So you must be getting that then, I'm sure you'll be okay." Harvey smiled as he kissed her cheek. Courtney glanced over at the calendar now.
"Harv, what's today?" Courtney asked.
"Hm, it's the 10th of October. One month we've been together," Harvey replied to her as he saw Courtney's face fall a bit. "What is it, what's wrong?" he inquired now.
"It's just-" Courtney paused, "I-I was due for my period two weeks ago. I was so caught up with you and me, then getting sick it never crossed my mind," she finally said as Harvey looked at her seriously, a little worry rising in his green eyes.
"Are you certain you're two weeks late, Courtney. You know that means that...you could be-" Harvey trailed off slightly as both of them looked at one another now.
"I-I got my period six weeks ago, two weeks before the party was thrown," Courtney admitted. Harvey held her seeing how scared she was becoming.
"Okay, don't panic. We don't know anything yet. Why don't I run out to the store and get a test for you and we can go from there?" Harvey suggested, equally as worried that Courtney could be pregnant and with his child. It wouldn't be anyone else's because Courtney was a virgin before him as he was before her as well.
"Harvey, what if I am?" Courtney asked.
"We'll figure it out, but I promise you this. I won't leave you alone," Harvey replied as he kissed her forehead and offered a smile. Deciding it would be easier to go now, Harvey left her at her house while he headed to the corner store to pick up a pregnancy test, then hide it in his pocket while returning to Courtney's place. After getting inside, Courtney took it right away because being she was two weeks late, it would show up without worry of being too early. Harvey waited outside the bathroom while she was taking it, nerves taking over him. What would they do if she was pregnant? So much could happen, and so many problems they wouldn't want or need if anyone found out what transpired between them a month ago.
Courtney came out of the bathroom, and Harvey got off the wall seeing her fear-stricken face while looking down at the test in her right hand. "It's positive. Gods, Harvey, it's positive, and I'm pregnant," she said as tears formed.
"Hey, hey," Harvey pulled her into his arms and Courtney laid her head on his chest, "It's going to be okay, Court. I promise you that. We'll think of something," he assured.
"Harvey, you don't understand. My parents think I'm a virgin and if they find this out, they will send me to some home to have the baby and give it up for adoption or make me have an abortion," Courtney whimpered against him.
"I won't let that happen, Courtney. I swear it. Do you want this baby, to raise it?" Harvey asked her.
"Yes, I do. I can't stand another family raising my baby, rather our child and the thought of killing him or her. I can't even bear the thought," Courtney told him.
"Then let's run together," Harvey said as she looked at him quickly, "We've got money saved, the both of us. Let's get out of here, out of Berk and have our family. We can stay together and have the baby, and no one can stop us." he offered to her.
"How would we get away. My parents are going to be home in two hours, and you said yours were coming back tonight too. Can we survive out there on our own?" Courtney asked.
"Yes, we can. I'll make sure of it and don't worry about our parents; there is always a way to do it. I'll figure it out, all you have to do is say yes, and we'll make our life," Harvey said. Courtney looked into his eyes before nodding her head.
"Let's run away together, Harvey. I want to be with you and our child," Courtney said in a sure tone.
"I'll set everything up, just be ready when I tell you. Okay?" Harvey replied holding her close., Courtney nodded her head again. This was all they could do, run away together to keep their family as one. Harvey and Courtney would leave to raise their baby and have a life all their own. This was the choice made between them.
