flashback for reminder:

the days after harryween - 2 "... You're going to have to wake up in the middle of the night, you're going to change diapers, I mean this is a lot..."

holmes chapel - 1 "I love you more, darling. Everything I said is true, you're going to be the best mum in the whole world. We're going to have the prettiest, the most talented, the most kindest babies to ever exist."

The past month for Y/N and Harry have been hectic. Countless nights were spent caring for their baby girl. Their days were longer than they ever were, but the two were happy. They enjoyed the company of their new addition to the family and the family couldn't be any more complete.

The first few weeks of Hope's arrival, Y/N's family was over, which included her parents, her sister who is now a few months pregnant along with her fiancé. Then later on in the month, Anne, Gemma, and Michal all came to the states to meet the new addition of the Styles' family. When Anne saw Hope dressed up in some of Gemma's clothing, it was a cry fest. Anne couldn't hold in her tears as she stared at her first grand baby, first of many...

Y/N kept note of every single advice she was given whether it be from her mom, Anne, Gemma, her friends, basically anyone and kept it organized in one of her journals. She asked all the questions in the world in order to give her baby everything she needed and it was safe to call her, the best mum in the world. She had her shit together, along with Harry.

Harry was the sweetest baby daddy ever. He was meant to be a dad, especially Hope's. The two bonded with each other right from the start. When they say skin-to-skin contact was a key in connecting with your baby, they were right. Whenever Hope cried, Harry dropped whatever he was doing and gave his newborn his full attention.

The 20th of May, midnight, when the album released everywhere, Harry stayed home and gave his daughter a personal show. Harry knew midnight was late and his daughter was supposed to be sleeping, but he wanted to include her in the things he did. H begged Y/N until she caved in. He showed Hope the lyric videos, held her in his arms as they swayed to the music, and he even belted out a few notes here and there.

Props to Hope for staying up, poor girl was fast asleep by the time Daylight came on, but she tried her best.

As soon as Hope was placed on the couch where she was safe and surrounded by pillows in case she decided to turn over, Harry then took Y/N in his arms and they danced the night away. Whispering to each other, kissing each other, and laughing together.

Harry's House was titled Harry's House before Hope showed up to the family and when Harry did find out about Hope, he 100% knew that the title was meant to be. He read In Every House on Every Street by Jess Hitchman on CBeebies for the album release. This book was one of the first ever books Harry read to Hope when she was still in the womb and he felt that it was so perfect, he couldn't pass up the opportunity when CBeebies asked for him to be on the show. He wanted Hope to look back at it when she was older and see that her father loved her very deeply. 

Sadly, Hope wasn't allowed to be with her father at One Night Only in New York or London, but Y/N did everything she could to make sure Hope got to watch her father. Whether it be on the Apple Livestream, through a fan's tiktok live, or even FaceTiming Grandma Anne.
