His Baby Girl

1. Why?

Harry's P.O.V.

I smile as I watch my beautiful baby girl giggling and splashing around. After just turning one, Cass, my daughter, has just started to really giggle and has also started using her words.

"Da!" She says, flicking the water at me with her small hands.

"Yes, baby. Daddy, can you say da-ddy?" I ask softly, gently washing her small body. She continues to gurgle and mumble incoherently. I just chuckle and shake my head continuing to clean and wash her.

When I'm finished I grab her and pull her out of the tub, wrapping her in a small towel. After I dry her off, I walk towards her room to dress her in some pajamas. When I finish dressing her, I lay her in her crib and take a good look at her. She was beautiful. She looked just like her mother. She didn't have much hair, but what she did have was a dirty blonde color, and her eyes. My god, her eyes were my favorite thing about her, other than her dimples. Her eyes were the most beautiful blue eyes I have seen in my whole life.

"Goodnight, baby girl. Daddy loves you."

I take one last look at her before I kiss her forehead gently and walk out of the room, turning the lights off behind me.

I walk downstairs, and sit on the couch after turning on the television. As I flip through the multiple channels, I can't help but stop at certain movie. A love story. I also can't help but think of Tiffany, Cassie's mom. I suddenly feel a wave of sadness wash over me. Tiffany left me and Cassandra when Cassandra had just turned 2 1/2 months old. How crazy is that?! To leave your two month old baby with your boyfriend and just leave?! Of course I was going to take care of her, she is my daughter after all. I just can't believe she left us. I can still remember that day like it was yesterday...

*flashback*

"Tif! Look, Cass is smil-" I say happily, but stop short when I walk into our room to see Tiffany putting her clothes in a suitcase. She turns to look at me briefly, her face straight, and walks back to her closet to grab the rest of her clothes.

"W-what are you doing?" I ask her, scared of the answer. I can feel the tears welling up in my eyes but I stop them from falling.

"I'm leaving. I can't do this, Harry! I'm only seventeen years old! I have a life I want to live, you know! I can't be stuck at home all day, everyday! I need to leave!" Tif all but shouts at me, continuing to walk back and forth from her closet to her suitcases.

"What the hell are you talking about?!" I yell, suddenly coming to realize that she's leaving me... leaving us.

"You can't just leave! She's your daughter, too! What am I gonna say when she's older, huh?! What, Tiffany?!" I yell again, unable to contain my tears anymore. How can she just leave?

"I'm sorry, Har-" I quickly cut her off from her lame apology. It doesn't mean shit anyway.

"No you're not. You're not sorry! You shouldn't be doing this in the first place! What about me?! What about you DAUGHTER?!" I bellow, causing Tiffany to jump. She finished packing and grabbed her suitcases heading towards the door.

"I'm sorry, Harry." She says quietly, almost inaudable. I just shake my head and pass her, walking towards Cass's room. I pick up the whining baby and gently rock her, hoping to calm her down. I hear the front door of our, or now my, house close softly, telling me that Tiffany left. She's gone. I silently cry, rocking little Cassie in my arms. She's the spitting image of Tiffany which will make this whole experience a million times harder. I continue to cry softly, only able to mumble out one word.

"Why?"

*Present time*

I sigh softly, turning the television off and making sure all lights are off downstairs before making my way upstairs to my room to go to sleep. I peek my head back into Cassie's room to make sure she's alright. I walk back to my room and take off all of my clothes, except for my boxers, before climbing under the duvet. I look straight ahead, my eyes falling onto a picture I have on my night stand of me and Cass that I had Louis take one day. I'm holding her in my arms and she's laughing while I look down at her, smiling as well. It's my favorite picture of us.

I smile softly before closing my eyes, drifting off to sleep.
