FINE LINE (Harry styles comfort imagines)

TWENTY TWO

FATHER LIKE SON

"Babe!"

Harrys voice rang throughout the house "y/n! I can't find Elijah's right shoe- have you seen it anywhere?" He asked as you made your way into Elijah's room carrying a vase full of flowers that Harry had bought you, you had filled them back up with water as you didn't want them dying. You placed the vase onto Elijah's bedroom windowsill. Elijah was your and Harry's 6 year old little boy. He was the sweetest boy on earth who was most definitely a mummy's boy. "It's gone missing again?" You asked with a small smile and Harry nodded "yeah, no wonder though, his shoes are tiny" he said with a soft chuckle and you smiled gently "a second pair of eyes can easily solve the issue" you said grinning as you leaned down, "careful" Harry said his eyes filled with concern as he rested his hands on your hips- you were pregnant with your and Harry's second child and he was 100 times more protective of you than he was before. "I'm okay" you shot a reassuring look at him as you stood up straighter handing him the missing shoe which had sneakily fallen under Elijah's bed "what would I do without you hm?" He asked and you beamed up at him "probably spend a ton of money on new shoes for him" you teased playfully before pressing a kiss to his lips, Elijah running into the room beaming at Harry "dada, coat" he said bouncing up and down holding his coat in his hands and soon enough Elijah's eyes settled on you his eyes lighting up as he dropped his coat sprinting towards you "mummy!" He yelled excitedly and you bent down carefully, smiling as you encircled your arms around him "morning sweetie" you gently brushed his hair back with your hand gazing down at him lovingly "did you sleep well?" You asked and he nodded smiling "I slept all the way through!" He yelled out throwing his arms up in the air happily "didn't wet your bed either, tell mummy about that" Harry said helping Elijah put his coat on as the little boy beamed nodding his head "you did? Oh you're such a big boy" you said smiling happily "I'm so proud of you honey" you said happily as you kissed all over his face making him squeal, little giggles falling from his mouth "uh huh! I was a big boy" he confirmed, beaming and you looked up at Harry smiling lovingly. Oh how you loved him.

You held Elijah's right hand and Harry held his left hand as you as a family of three... or four if you count the baby in your belly, decided to go for a walk. Your midwife had suggested to take walks to try and get baby moving, you didn't overdo it but you did it when you felt up to it. "Fly! Fly!" Elijah suddenly exclaimed and you instinctively tightened your grip on your sons hand before you looked at Harry nodding and the both of you lifted Elijah up off of the floor watching as he swung back and forth and as his feet landed on the ground once again he jumped and you and Harry lifted him up, his happy squeals making your heart melt... this was the family you've always wanted. You had the perfect family. As you continued walking, you felt little cramps but paid no mind to it, your little girl was expected to be born in a few days time so you knew she would be moving and kicking more frequently so you didn't worry too much about it. "You okay?" Harry asked quietly and you nodded smiling at him "im fine, just cramps" you assured and he nodded but you did notice how he kept a frequent eye on you but you didn't mind knowing he was only taking care of you

"Can we go park?" Elijah asked looking up at you then to Harry "after we get some shopping little man, but only if mummy's feeling okay still. Alright?" And after a few moments of thinking Elijah nodded, letting go of your and Harry's hand as he ran off down the path but knew to not go too far. Harry's arm wrapped around your waist "is little girl giving you trouble?" He asked looking at you lovingly and you let out a soft laugh looking at him briefly as you smiled but kept your focus on Elijah making sure he was still safe and close "a little bit... but not much. She's just showing she's getting too big for my belly...." You said smiling and he gazed down at you lovingly before he leaned down pressing a kiss to your forehead "you're such an amazing mum." He said gently and you smiled. Gods how did you land him? He was the best person ever.

"Can you hold Eli? I don't want him getting lost in this supermarket" you said and Harry nodded "of course" he said. "Elijah, bear hug" Harry said opening his arms and he giggled running into his fathers arms giving him a massive hug, harry standing up straighter as he carried Elijah into the shop, you following close behind pushing a trolley.

"Daddy put me down... daddy," he whined Harry looked down at him "okay but hold my hand." He said placing his son down onto the ground, as Elijah immediately held onto his hand, Harry having to lean down ever so slightly to make sure he wouldn't drag his son about or make his arm ache. As he got to the sweet section he let go of Elijah's hand "okay you can pick three sweeties of your choice for doing so well in pre- school" Harry said and Eli immediately rushed at picking his sweets "Harry" you said grabbing his attention "I'm not joking around here but... I seriously think shes coming today" you said and Harry stared at you, shocked "wait really?" He asked and you nodded "uh huh... I'm not kidding." You said letting out a shaky breath as you rubbed your belly repeatedly, "not right now but today for sure..." you said and Harry nodded "right, okay let's go home, Elijah come on we-" but he fell silent realising Elijah was no where to be seen, you held onto Harry's hand tightly as he helped you walk, the weight on your body felt worse than ever. She was kicking about somersaulting- all sorts. She was going crazy or getting comfortable... you couldn't quite decide which one.

"Don't freak out H... he's fine I'm sure. He'll come back. He knows better" you assured and Harry nodded looking all over for your little boy. You continued breathing in deeply as you rubbed your belly. "Mummy!! Mama!!" The familiar shout of your boy was heard and you turned around seeing Elijah running down the aisle, a bouquet of flowers in his hands and your heart instantly melted your eyes softening and as he stopped in front of you he held the flowers up to you "for you mummy..." he said his eyes filled with nothing but love and kindness, you looked at Harry as you smiled. Father like son... both charmers. "Oh sweetheart. Thank you so much." You said taking the flowers into your hands, you breathed in the scent of the flowers and smiled "they're Lilly's mama" he said and you looked at the flower name and indeed he was right "you're so right darling..." you said smiling as Harry stayed silent knowing if he said anything he'd probably cry- he was so thankful you and him had raised such a respectful kind son....

And later on that evening, at midnight exact you gave birth to your little girl...
