Maya's POV:

"Okay let's run through the plan one more time" I say turning to Niall.

Him and I are currently waiting outside the club for Harry and Darlene, or should I say Jack and Rose. We decided it would be easier to get them by themselves this way as opposed to during a movie night. It still might be hard to pull them away from each other though because recently those two are attached at the hip.

"I take Harry, you take Darlene. We casually try and get as much information as possible about where they're at" He says, reciting the plan we've made for the tenth time tonight. It's a simple really, we just both don't want to mess it up.

"Yes, then we regroup and swap the children" I say nodding my head.

"Children? You're making it sound like we're divorced parents with joint custody." Niall says, his eyebrows furrowing at my comment but also seeming amused.

"How can we be divorced parents if we're dating hon?" I point out, raising an eyebrow at him.

"True" He says in realization, a soft smile forming on my face.

"Remember try not to push them too far" I add pointing a finger at him. I'm confident in both of our abilities but again, I don't want to mess this up, "Especially with Harry, he's the difficult child"

Niall nods in determination, both of us preparing for the work ahead of us. I have a feeling we'll both be mentally exhausted by the end of the night.

"Alright I think we're ready, operation HD is a go" I state in excitement bouncing on my heels a bit. I'm a bit stressed but also I feel slightly devious. I like the feeling a bit too much.

"HD?" He says furrowing his eyebrows at me in confusion.

"Harry and Darlene. H.D" I explain causing a look of realization to take over Niall's face. But it quickly turns into amusement, a soft laugh escaping his lips.

"You're adorable" He states shaking his head, an admiring look taking over his features. My cheeks turn red from the comment, causing me to look away briefly not being able to hold eye contact. But my attention is turned towards the sound of a car door closing seeing Harry is stepping out from the back seat.

"We got this sunshine" Niall says softly, holding his hand out lowly so we can discreetly high five. Or would it be a low five, because he's holding it low? I've never thought about that before tha-

"Hey!" Darlene's voice breaks me from my thoughts as she runs towards me and engulfs me in a hug. I hug her back tightly before I pull her away keeping her at arm's length, I swear I saw her wearing Harry's cross necklace.

"Is that Harry's" I ask curiously a smile still on my face from finally seeing her again. I reach out to hold the charm of the necklace to inspect it. This one has jewels on it though which confuses me cause I don't think I remember his ever having any.
