When Harry turns forty-four, he remembers Zayn's request and invites Mary and Edward, as well as Liam's family and Niall's family, over for a simple dinner at home.

He feels quite mature, reclined in a lawn chair in their back lawn, watching the kids play with the snow on the ground. He winces as Zach falls face first into a pile and stands up to interfere before a tantrum starts, but Natalie, who's turning out to be quite a pretty young girl, helps him up and entertains him with a toy before the tears start.

"Look how smart your daughter is, must take after her Mother," he whispers to Liam, who's standing behind him and sipping his beer. "In looks too. She's going to be a heartbreaker Liam."

Liam sighs and shakes his head, "Don't I know it. Yours too though, Michelle? You're going to have to beat the boys off her with a stick."

Harry doesn't particularly like the idea of boys dating his daughter, so that afternoon, when the cake is presented in front of him, Harry makes his wish very clear.

He wishes for no boy to ever come near his baby girl.
