When Harry turns 45, Louis and him load the kids up on a plane and fly out to the Caribbean. It's not as romantic as the time he and Lou went alone for his birthday, but it's still fun.

Harry spends the day watching Zach and Louis splash around in the ocean, while Michelle tans on the chair next to him, in a bathing suit that Harry doesn't approve of her wearing, but doesn't have the nerve to tell say no to.

"Dad!" Zach runs up to him, dripping wet and shaking his hair so that droplets rain down on him, "Can we do cake now! I'm starving!"

"Me too!" Louis whines, behind his son, smirking and Harry rolls his eyes but agrees.

They do cake in the coffee café that's located in their hotel, and Zach bounces excitedly as he watches Louis light the candles.

Michelle inherited the talent of singing, but rarely sang for them, so Harry grins as he hears his daughter's lovely quiet voice sing Happy Birthday before he blows out the candles, making his wish.

He wishes for Michelle to find something she loved, just as her fathers had.
