Way Of Life - H.S & N.H

What Will They Be?

Harry's album dropped. The fans went crazy for it. Getting it in the charts and breaking records.

Getting back in the studio to finish it was easy after everything that happened. The news of the baby, new beginnings, and watching his friends get married had given him that burst of inspiration that he needed.

Shayla's song aptly named 'Flaws and All' was a hit.

The fans praising the melodies and artistry. It had a quirky, upbeat tone to it. Harry didn't want it to be the usual ballad type love song. It didn't suit either of them.

Many guessed it was about Shay and others questioned it. It didn't matter though. They knew the truth.

Now here he was, up on stage performing. Song after song, he put everything into the performance, dancing and giving it is all.

He got Niall up to help him sing a couple of the 1D songs. You can imagine how the crowd reacted to that.

Niall even posted a photo from earlier that day. Adding to the media hype.

The show eventually came to an end. Harry thanked each member of the band, Niall, the crew and thanked the fans for coming out and supporting him as always.

Gemma, Michal, Niall, Heather and many others had gathered to see him play.

Two people were missing though. Shay and his mum.

Harry was incredibly protective over Shay.
No matter how much she protested, he wouldn't let her come to the show.

"I don't care. I'm not letting anything happen to you. Either of you! Your symptoms are unpredictable too. Mum's coming over to keep you company, okay?"

"Ugh fine. Everyone better record it though." Shay huffed.

He couldn't lose either of them. Not now.

———————————————

"That was insane!" Niall shouted as he sat down in Harry's dressing room. Everyone clapped and agreed excitedly.

They'd all piled in, it's probably the busiest the room had ever looked.

"Thank you. M'gonna call Shay though. Missed her." Harry mumbled.

"Yeah felt weird without her here." Heather chimed in.

Harry nodded before pulling out his phone and going to her contact.

After a couple rings, Anne picked up.

"Oh hi mum! Yeah show was good! No we're all here still. Leaving soon though. Is Shay okay?"

"She's fine. Asleep. She's been napping all day poor thing." Anne chimed.

"Yeah growing a baby takes it of you." Harry replied.

"It sure does. I should know. I had two of them. Well best let you go. See you soon sweetheart." Anne chuckled.

"Bye."

Harry hung up. He couldn't wait to get home. He'd been touring the UK, this show being the last one in London. This meant he could go home for a couple days before heading off to Europe.

Touring was a little difficult this time around. Schedules had to be reorganised a lot due to Shay being pregnant. Harry didn't want to be away for too long so they had to organise breaks in between the different legs.

After Europe he'd be back. By then Shay would be heavily pregnant so he'd stay put until little one W as born.
Once they were here, things would be more complicated. He'd have the world to sing to and a baby at the same time.

Jeff and his management were sorting it all though. Trying to make the whole process easier for everyone.

The fans didn't seem to mind too much. Knowing now that Shayla was pregnant.

They were sad that they wouldn't see him for a while but knew that he had responsibilities. They were just so excited and happy to see him become a dad.

After Shay dropped the 'Kiwi' Instagram post, the speculation started, as expected.

They decided to get Anne and Gemma to post something similar and even Harry's stylist, 'Lamby' as Shay calls him, wanted to post something.

The frenzy continued from there. An outpouring of love from everyone.

Heather, Niall and both their families organised a baby shower not long after. It was then that everyone found out the gender.

Both Shay and Harry held onto two balloons. Each was filled with confetti of a particular colour. Blue or Pink.

Everyone gathered around, drinks in hand, holding their breaths. Of course Heather and Niall knew the gender, as they'd organised the shower.

After a quick countdown they popped the balloons and pink confetti showered down over the two of them. Sounds of cheering and cries were all that could be heard.

"Oh my god!" Shay covered her mouth in shock as tears fell down her face. Harry stood in shock for a moment, eyes glossing over, before turning to Shay and grabbing her tightly.

He then turned to address everyone to say a few words.

"Whether this little one chose to be a boy or a girl, we would've been happy. Even in the future, if they choose to be anything other than, we will support them. To the moon and back."

Everyone cheered once again before gathering around the couple to congratulate them.

"H? We should ask them now." Shay held onto Harry's hand. Their fingers interlocked.

"Okay." He beamed, calling Niall, Heather, Gemma, Michal and Shayla's brothers (Luke & Karl) and her sister-in-law (Rebekah) over.

"What's happening?" Luke asked, as he took a mouthful of his burger.

"Well... this seemed like a good a time as any to ask if you would all be godparents?" Shay held onto Harry's hand tightly.

Everyone had the biggest smiles on their faces.

"Seriously? Of course we will." Michal hugged them both. Everyone joined in, over the moon to have such responsibility.

"Uncles and aunties AND godparents. We've got our work cut out here!" Gemma exclaimed as everyone burst into laughter.
