Moving On [H.S]

Chapter 18

 Isabella immediately runs over, Niall close behind her.

"Dad! Maya!"

She cheers and Maya's eyes open again, a smile spreading over her face.

"Hey angel."

Harry says quietly and she reaches her arms up to be lifted up to him. Harry slowly sits up and sits on the edge of the bed, lifting his daughter up into his lap.

"Did you get an owie?"

She asks Maya who chuckles a little bit.

"Yeah I did."

"Do you feel better?"

"Like I can fly."

She says to the toddler, and Harry chuckles a little.

"Uncle Niall let me have ice cream before bed, and we watched Monster High."

Harry glances up at Niall who puts his hands up in a "I didn't do it" type of way.

"You little snitch."

He says ruffling Isabella's hair as she giggles.

"Ice cream makes you feel better."

She says to Maya who nods in agreement.

"When do you get to come home?"

"In about 3 days."

Maya says and Isabella nods. Maya looks over at Niall who is quietly sitting in a chair next to the wall.

"Niall...right?"

She says and he nods. They all know Harry is the first person she has really talked to at the office, so the introduction made sense. They talk for a little, Isabella laughing as Maya tells her jokes. As the little girl smiles, she makes Maya feel better, helping her forget the fact that she feels like she got hit by a train.

Her whole body aches. Around 2 hours later, Niall takes Isabella out for dinner, giving Harry and Maya some time alone. Maya rests in Harry's arms, holding onto him tightly in her sleep, surprising him. Does she really have no one else? Anyone else to call?

He will have to go home eventually to take care of Isabella, he just doesn't want to leave Maya alone. Maya stirs in her sleep, her eyes looking up at Harrys.

"Do you have anyone else that could come to check on you? I'll have to go home soon, and I don't want to leave you here alone."

He says and her face falls.

"No..I don't..but don't let that stop you from going home. I'll be alright."

She says and Harry frowns.

"Are you sure?"

He asks and she nods.

"It's not like there is much to do...I'll probably just be asleep. It'd be boring if you stayed."

She says and they both chuckle a little bit. He stammers to say the next thing that comes out of his mouth.

"I'm worried about you."

He says quietly and she pauses, never having heard those words before.

"Really?"

She asks and he nods.

"I had a slight suspicion that you were...using drugs. I saw a lot of what I went through in you. I just didn't want to assume."

He says and she nods, and pauses, resting her head on his chest.
