Chapter 13-

HARRY'S POV

I didn't feel it was just a coincidence that Lily was almost two and my party was two years ago but Cheri could have easily hooked up with someone else after the party.

I shake it off, Cheri would have told me if I was the father.

She wouldn't lie to me about something so big.

I couldn't imagine being a father, it didn't seem possible.

I decided to confront her in the morning about it. I looked at Cheri curled up next to Lily on the left hand side of my bed, peacefully sleeping. I debated whether or not to sleep on the couch but decided against it. There was enough space on the bed. I stripped down to my pants but then decided to put on trackie bottoms so Lily and Cheri wouldn't be freaked when they woke up in the morning. I got into the right hand side of the bed and lay down.

I smiled at how good a relationship Lily and Cheri had, I suppose being a single parent was hard. I wonder if Lily's dad ever visited her, if he didn't then he was missing out. Cheri said Lily's birthday was coming up, I'd have to get her something probably. What do two year olds like?

I smiled then closed my eyes and drifted off into sleep.

CHERI'S POV

I wake up to feel hands tracing the cut around my neck. I look down smiling at Lily who was curled up next to me. She continued to trace shapes into my skin. I nearly jumped when I saw Harry sleeping on the other side of me. He looked so at peace, his curling falling onto his eyelids. I automatically brushed a curl out of his eye. His eyes fluttered open.

"Cheri?"

I pulled my hand back fast, acting like I'd just be scalded.

"Uh er thought you were asleep..." I mutter blushing. I hope he didn't think it meant anything.

He raises his eyebrows at me.

Lily nudges me with her elbow. I look back down at her.

"Mummy, what happened to your neck?".

What do I tell her? Harry looks at me, probably wondering if what I'm going to respond with. I can't tell her about me getting attacked. I don't want her thinking that every time I leave her, I'm going to get hurt.

"I fell over, honey".

"It hurt?"

"Shhh don't worry about me" I say kissing her head.

I hear Louis knocking at the door. "Cheri! Lily! Wake up , there's Pancakeeees!" he singsongs.

"Pancakes!" yells Lily excitedly sitting up.

Louis opens the door and doesn't look surprised when he sees Harry there as well. Well I suppose it is Harry's bed though.

"Well hello Harry" Louis smirks.

Lily climbs past me and off the bed and rushes to Louis. I stay were I am.

"Cheri get up" Louis whines.

"Wait, Cheri can I speak to you for a second?" asks Harry. I look at him surprised.

"Okay?"

"Well, we'll leave you to talk" say Louis winking at me.

Once Louis and Lily have left, I look at him.

"What is it?" I ask. Harry looks down flustered. What's he planning to ask me?

"This may sound stupid but... is Lily.. mine?" he says awkwardly.

I freeze "Where did you get that idea from?"
