Later that week, Harry convinced Zayn to have a sleepover with the girls. He had already slept there when they went on a date and the day he went to see Wendy's mother. Both times were under different circumstances, but this night is supposed to be fun.

After Zayn's vent about his conversation with Ester, Harry noticed that he needed distraction, he's been kind of sulking. Of course Harry was upset too, he even cried from anger at what Wendy did, from sadness at how Milly ended up at the orphanage and from relief at knowing that the girls are happy and healthy with them.

But at least they finally got the answers. In the end, Wendy has abandoned them both. She is a horrible person. The end.

Harry is just happy that they found each other and were able to reunite the girls. And they are both great parents. He has even started to notice little changes in the girls.

Milly is much more outgoing now, she is much more open and he is sure it's Micky's doings. And Micky looks like an older sister, she acts like one. She looks after Milly and helps her blend in with the other kids at school.

Another significant change is in their interaction as a family. Zayn and Milly spend so much time together painting and doing art. They love to draw. When there is an art project or something from school, Zayn insists on helping them. He makes it seem like another one of their hobbies rather than homework.

Micky, on the other hand, if someone wants to know her whereabouts, just find where Harry is. She has become his shadow. The other day Harry was organizing his office and found several of her comics on his desk. She loves to go there and read when he is working. He even made space in his bookshelf for her comics. Now it is their office.

So this is why Harry and Micky are teaming up against Zayn and Milly in the board game they are playing on Harry's bed tonight. Zayn lying on his side with Milly leaning against his stomach and Harry and Micky cross-legged next to each other at the foot of the bed.

"Baba, stop cheating!" Micky catches Zayn moving more spaces than he should have.

"You can only move four spaces in a turn. You moved six, Z" Harry looks at him with raised eyebrows disapprovingly.

"You just made up that rule, H" he throws his hands up in indignation.

"Daddy, there is no such rule." Milly stands by Zayn.

"But there is" Micky stands by Harry.

"Tell them, Buttercup" Harry encourages her "She's the big brain here she knows best"

"And even if there isn't a rule, your dice is showing four. You cheated it, Baba" She exposes Zayn who grabs a pillow to hide his face.

And of course she was right. Harry and Micky high-five.

"Babaaa" Milly whines, disappointed.

Harry rolls the dice and they get six, making them win the game.

He and Micky celebrate by hugging each other, they are still undefeated in this game.

"Next time I'll play with my sister" Milly gets up  and goes over to Micky and throws an arm around her.

"Why not me?" Harry puts his hands on his hips pretending to be offended.

"Because she is the brains" she says proudly.

Zayn laughs from the bed.

The girls share a room now. Micky used to sleep in the guest room the few times she stayed over but now they have put another bed in the room for her to stay with her sister. Zayn did the same thing in Micky's room, even though they spend more time at Harry's.
