"So it have been two years since you guys redeclared your love for her. Tell me something, how did she react when she saw that post that you made on your band account?" "It was not a big reaction like you guys like to think. She was still grieving over the death of her horse that means so much to her. She just smiled weakly, thanked us, and kissed us a few times. We didn't expect a lot." "Yeah. Fans may call us the cutest couple, but there are moments where it's not all that sappy. We love her and we are still there if she needs a shoulder to cry on."

"The death is still effecting her?" Nick asked and I nodded. "She has gotten better, but there are times where she would just walk to the barn and stand in front of Buddy's stable and just cry. One of us would be there and she would just cry it out. She never got another horse either, so his stable is still empty." "Well let her know at Radio 1, we are here for her as well. Now let's move onto a more happier topic. Engagement? You guys are hitting your 3 year anniversary?"

"Yeah, but we don't know..." We do know. "We are still pretty young." Yet, we already know that we want her for the rest of our life. "So it's a maybe?" "Yeah. If it happens it happens," Niall said and I smiled. We have a couple of things set for her. Back in January, we reached out to a breeder and we are going to be picking up a really special gift today. Then we are going to the jeweler so that we can pick up a certain ring that we wanted to propose to her with. We just needed to finish this and we will be on our ways. Niall and I are picking up the horse, Liam and Zayn are picking up the special ring.

When the interview ended, we shook hands with everyone before we walked out of the building. There was going to be no pap for the entire day. We made that request to our manager, and they were able to make that demand possible. We didn't want Harry to see us leaving any place that may give away what we have planned for today.

Niall and I got in the car and we drove a long way before we reached a dark brown barn. I got out of the car and we saw a guy with brown hair looking at us. "Are you Louis and Niall?" He asked as he approached us. "Why did that sound like a drug dealer type of line?" Niall asked and I rolled my eyes. "Yes, and you must be the breeder Ryan," I said and he nodded before shaking our hands. He then walked us to  the inside and we walked till we were standing in front of a young hoarse. "How old is this one?" Niall asked. "He just turned 6 last month on the 20th." Ryan said and we smiled at that. "Well that's pretty great!" "Yeah, so what is his name going to be?" He asked and I smiled before looking at Niall "Buddy Jr." We spoke together.

"Alright then, so I will bring the paperwork back over here before I send you three off," he said before he walked out of the barn. "Hey buddy," I said and lowered myself a bit. "You are going home with us and you are going to belong to a really great mother." "She has a lot of horses, but you are going to mean a lot to her already. I can already see it. You may not replace the horse that recently passed, but you will definitely make her feel a lot better and officially be in that happy place again."

Ryan returned and we stood up. We signed the papers under Harry's name. Niall was able to forge her signature pretty well from his memory. He had practice a few times before this happened.

When we were able to head home, Ryan helped us get Buddy Jr. into the back of our car. I was pretty tough since he was a hoarse. We were able to get him inside and we hurried to get back into the car. Harry had a girl's day out with her sister actually, so that gave us a good amount of time to get everything done and ready for our baby.

When we got there, we hurried to get Buddy Jr. out of the car and we walked him to the barn. We walked him to the stable from where Buddy used to sleep in and we brought him in there. Niall then ran into the house to get the little guy some food and a sweet sign to put on the stable.
