When Harry turns thirty-four, they invite their very pregnant surrogate to the party. Harry's Mum comes along too and spends the whole time fussing over Jane, who's being quite a sport with everyone who insists on coming up and feeling the baby kick.

It's a girl, Harry's not supposed to know, because Louis doesn't want to know, but he found out anyways and the secret is slowly warring him down. But he only has to make it one more month, and he figures he can do that.

Liam's daughter, Natalie, toddles around the house and Harry lifts her into his arms, bouncing her along as he walks towards the cake.

"Will you help me blow out these candles?" he asks and Natalie nods enthusiastically, as Harry bends down with her in his arms, closer to the cake.

Natalie doesn't blow many out on her own, but Harry manages pretty well, sending smoke swirling into the air as Natalie giggles delightedly in his arms.

All Harry wishes for that year is for his daughter to be as healthy and happy as Natalie.
