Left with the Baby. (Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Baby steps.

Harry's P.O.V

"H-a-a-appy birthday to youuuu!" We all sang.

Marley had little Barney sat on her knee. They had bonded VERY fast, he had already told her that she was his best friend ever, and being Marley, she had said it back.

"Happy birthday mate" Niall said to Barney, he bent down and pinched his checks.

"I'm really sorry boys, but we're going out to the aquarium now, but thank you boys, I'm sure Barney loved it!" The old woman said.

"It's fine, we'll leave now, happy birthday Barney!" Zayn shouted.

Barney was picked up by Liam and placed into a bright yellow wheelchair as he couldn't walk either. Zayn then walked over to Marley and picked her up bridal style, kissing her on the lips lightly.

"Come on guys, shall we go get something to eat?" Louis asked as we all walked through the door.

"Yeah, why don't we take Marley out to that caffe down the road, we can do that right?" I asked, looking over at Zayn.

"Yeah, I'm sure we can." He said, never taking his eyes of Marley.

"I should go get .. erm..." I mumbled.

"Lilly?" Marley asked. Making our heads snap towards her.

"Oh, I told her on the phone ..." Zayn mumbled.

"Was I not supposed to know?" Marley asked.

"I just thought you didn't that's all, shall I take her with us?"

"Yeah! I really want to meet little Lilly, apparently she's a lot like you already!" Marley giggled and grabbed onto Zayns neck, afraid of falling off because of her laughter.

Marley was that kind of person that was always laughing, and that the laugh was highly infectious. So we all ended up laughing in the end.

"What do you mean? Already like me? What?" I asked through my laughter.

"Well the looks for one mate, you both have the same green eyes and brow curly hair, she even has those cute little dimples when she smiles" Louis states while ruffling my hair.

"She also gets very very moody when she doesn't get what she wants, just like you!" Niall said.

"I do not get moody!" I said while punching Niall in the arm.

"Oh really?" Niall said sarcastically,

"Really." I glared at Niall until Liam broke it up.

"Ok guys, enough now! I'll go ask if we can take Marley out, Zayn you help her get ready. Harry, Lou and Niall go get Lilly." He ordered while already walking away.

"He really needs a girl in his life." Marley mumbled. Which made us all laugh.

"He does! But he refuses to go on blind dates that I set him up on!" I cried, waving my hands dramatically in the air.

"That's because last time you did that, it was a crazed fan that tried to kidnap him!" Louis yelled, everybody burst out laughing remembering the memory.

"I think I should set him up, I have this really nice friend called Zoey, she'd be perfect for him!"

We had now reached her room, and Zayn had placed her on the bed, pulling the patterned curtain round the bed, so me, Louis and Niall couldn't see what was going on.

"Zoey Davis?" Zayn asked. You could hear draws being opened and closed.

"Yeah, you all met her actually at that charity event we went to." Marley said. 

You could see from the bottom of the curtain, her hospital gown being dropped to the floor.

"Oh yeah! She was well hot!" Louis stated.

"I really can't remember who you're talking about!" Niall said.

The curtains were flung open, revealing Marley, now in a pair of light skinny jeans, a frilly white top and white sandals, she had a big cardigan covering her pale arms and neck. Her head scarf was changed to a plain white one, she had penciled in eyebrows that look near enough real. Her makeup was minimal, yet enough. Zayn had propped her up so she was sitting upright, facing us all.

"Oh Niall, she had blonde hair like yours, comes to her shoulders, brown eyes, quite tanned skin. Ring any bells?" She questioned.

"Yes! I agree Lou, she was fiiiiitt!" He drew out the last word.

"Think she'd suit Liam? She quite sensible and bossy herself, I think they'd be perfect!" Marley said.

"Who would be perfect?"

We all spun round to see Liam standing in the doorway holing Lilly on his hip. His face looked pissed off.

"Nobody ..." I mumbled.

"Well, while you guys were having your little chat, I went and picked up Lilly, something I told YOU THREE to do!" He turned around and walked out the room towards the elevator still with Lilly on his hip.

"We should go, we don't want him getting any moodier.." Louis said.

"Yeah you're right." I agreed.

We all made our way out the door but stopped as Marley started to talk.

"Can I try walking? It's been so long since I have ..." Marley asked Zayn as he was about to lift her off the bed.

"Sweetie, you have no energy to do that.." Zayn looked into her eyes with sincerity.

"Let me at least try!" She snapped.

Zayn's hands flew up in defence which got him a pissed look from Marley.

"Zayn, can you help me?" Marley said through her teeth.

Zayn put one hand in Marleys and the other one round her waist, supporting her weight while she stood up.

"Take it slow baby.." Zayn warned.

Marley took in a deep breath then shifted her right leg forward followed by a pained expression. She then did the same action but with her left leg. A huge smile crept onto her face when she realised what she had done.

"I can sort of walk!" She cheered.

Louis started clapping and jumping around like a little girl.

"YAY!" Louis shouted.

"Why don't we get you in your wheelchair and try walking when we get back to the hospital?" Zayn asked, looking like a worried mother.

"I guess, baby steps right?" Marley said, looking into Zayns eyes.

Baby steps.
