Alexis' POV

"C'mon Lottie! You've got this!" Harry says with a proud smile on his face as his daughter takes her first steps towards him.

"Just a few more steps!" I squeal.

Lottie stumbles into Harry's arms just in time for him to catch her.

"D..Dada.." Harry's face freezes when he realizes what just happened.

"Alex.. She just said.."

"Her first word! And I got it all on video!" I joyfully say while going to my gallery to replay these important milestones in Lottie's life.

"I can't believe that just happened! It seems like just yesterday she could barely crawl, and now she's getting all grown up," Harry's eyes start to tear up.

"Oh Haz.. This is why I love you," I whisper, pressing a soft kiss to his lips.

"I love you too babe.." He mumbles into the kiss.

We take a quick selfie of us both kissing Lottie's cheeks.

"This is definitely going on Instagram," Harry chuckles.

I raise my eyebrows. "Harry Styles? A selfie? How about we save that one for later. You've got to come up with an epic caption to aid the fans when they start to hyperventilate."

"Whatever Lexi," he kisses me on the cheek and then tickles Lottie. I blush at his most recent nickname for me.

Harry, Lottie and I just sit and watch a movie for the next couple of hours. As the ending credits begin to scroll, I notice Lottie has fallen asleep.

"I'll take her to her room," Harry's gravelly voice says as he looks into my eyes.

As Harry walks back up the stairs I decide it's time to tell him the news.

"Hey Harry?" I say weakly.

"Yes, Lex?" He says, concern taking over his features.

"Uh, I... I'm... Er.. Pregnant," I finally manage to spit out.

The concern immediately leaves his face as he puts on a swoon-worthy smile. He pulls me into a tight embrace and then continues to cup my face with his enormous hands and kiss me deeply.

I can't help but giggle as he leans down to my stomach and puts both of his hands on my abdomen.

"So there's a baby in there. My baby is in there," he whispers, almost in tears for the second time today.

"Yes Harry! Just what you said you wanted so long ago.." I coo.

"My baby. My second baby. I love you so much Alex. I can't believe our wedding is in a month! It will be here before we know it!" He ecstatically exclaims.

I can't believe it's so soon. I will be married to the man of my dreams in just one short month.

This past year has been so eventful.

Zayn and Penny got back together. Zayn decided that he had tolerated enough of Naughty Boy's crap. And he finally realized that his love for Penny was real. Xander has already said his first words (including one bad one, thanks to Mr. Malik).

Aly and Elle are now best friends. They still come visit us to tell us all about their adventures around the world together (including their latest trip to France, where they met another nice girl named Manon). Manon is visiting America for the first time right now and she's loving it. I can't wait to meet her.

Niall ended up finding a girl who I believe he wants to marry some day. Her name is Bree Robinson. I could definitely see her becoming Mrs. Horan some day. What a lucky girl to find such a nice guy. Boy band members seem to be the nicest guys for some reason.

Yes, the police did start to suspect something was up when some people reported two missing women. Harry and Zayn got that all figured out with the police and the police decided not to charge them with any crimes. I mean, we're happy families now! It's not like we were bruised and starving when they found us.

Liam and Sophia are still going strong. To be perfectly honest, they are such a hot couple. Goals.

Louis is still a lone wolf. He gets a girlfriend every once in a while but his.. Vibrant personality can be a bit overwhelming to some girls. He'll find someone someday. He's just gotta find a nice girl who can handle his sassy, energetic nature.

"Lexiii," Harry pulls me out of my thoughts, "We should invite everyone to dinner tonight to tell them the news."

"That sounds absolutely lovely," I say, overjoyed.

"Aww my little American is starting to sound more British by the minute," I scrunch up my face as he kisses me on the nose.

"Look who's talking. Ever since we moved to America permanently, you've been using quite a few American slang words."

"Hey I can't help that I'm such a savage, bruh," he says in a horrible almost valley-like American accent.

"Oh my God. Please never say that again."

"At least I'm your savage," he chuckles and pulls me closer to him.

I roll my eyes and reach for the phone to start inviting everyone to dinner.

Author's Note

Holy poop! An update!!

Sorry for the wait! So much has gone on lately!

I hope you liked this!

This story is coming to an end, but not quite yet. We have a few more chapters to go! Wow! Almost a year in the making. I love how you all have hung in there with me even when my updates are horrible and slow.

There will probably be no sequel to Stockholm Syndrome, but that does not mean I will stop writing. I have plans for another One Direction fanfiction (maybe a Niall? Or a Louis? Both?). So stay tuned!

Baby boy name suggestions?

Baby girl name suggestions?

Please leave some feedback!

Love you Syndromers! -K xx
