"Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need." Harry sang softly to Darcy.

Her eyes were open and she was gazing up at her daddy with her eyes that greatly resembled his beautiful emerald ones. He says she has my mouth, but I say she'll have his sparkling smile. She had her little hand wrapped around his finger while he nestled her into his arms.

"She's so warm and beautiful." Harry whispered, sitting on the bed next to me.

I sat up and rubbed my hand over her soft hair and smiled. "She's absolutely perfect." I said leaning my head on his shoulder.

He kissed my temple and smiled down at our daughter. "To think, if I never would have went back to you, I would never have gotten to experience this beautiful moment. I wouldn't have been here to see her beautiful face, hear her first words... Nothing." He said, looking down at me sadly.

"I'm glad you came back. All those months I hated you for doing that to me. I never thought I could forgive you, but I'm extremely glad I did." I said.

He smiled and turned back to Darcy, kissing her little forehead.

She made such a face that it made Harry laugh.

I felt so warm and happy inside; we had our little angel and I finally had my prince.

There was a knock on the door, but we already knew who it was. He had been begging to come in, along with six others.

"Alright Lou, you can come in, but be quiet!" Harry demanded.

Louis burst in with Eleanor, Niall, Liam, Danielle, Zayn and Perrie.

"Look!" Eleanor squealed.

They stood around Harry and I, totally speechless.

"She's so precious." Danielle whispered.

"Can I hold her?" Louis said, bouncing on his toes slightly.

Harry sighed. "I guess, but please be careful!" He said as he carefully handed Darcy off to Louis, who held her so close to him. He smiled so wide and bounced her slightly.

"Hi baby! It's me, your uncle Louis. It's amazing to finally meet you." She turned her head towards the sound of his voice, causing Louis to laugh. "She knows my voice!" He chuckled.

Eleanor bit her lip, trying to hide her tears of joy, and Niall bounced on his toes, eagerly awaiting his turn.

Eventually, Louis handed Darcy to Niall, who beamed like a little kid at Christmas. He smiled even bigger when she wrapped her little hand around his finger. "Hello, little snowflake." He cooed.

Soon everyone got to hold little Darcy, and eventually left... three hours later. Now it was just Harry and I, until his manager walked in.

"Hello." He said awkwardly.

Paul followed in behind him, setting down a stuffed animal and some balloons by the window sill.

"Hello." Harry said, completely in shock.

"Just wanted to stop in and see you two, or three. How are you doing?" He asked, crossing his arms and smiling awkwardly.

"We're fine, thanks." Harry said, a hint of annoyance in his voice.

I felt like I should make his manager more comfortable, so I held Darcy out. "Would you like to hold her?" I asked.

He stood there for a moment, smiled and took Darcy in his arms. "She's beautiful." He said, smiling at us.

"Thank you." Both Harry and I said.

He looked at Darcy for a moment, then looked up at us, as if he forgot something. "I also came here to tell you two something."

I could tell by his tone that this wouldn't be good.

He handed Darcy to me, who I then handed to Paul so he could have his turn. "I first want to say that I'm sorry for this."

Harry tensed up.

"But, we need you boys to go to the states."

"When, and for how long?" Harry said sternly.

"In two weeks, for about a two month tour." Harry's manager said, avoiding eye contact with both me and Harry.

"Are you kidding? We just had a fucking baby!" Harry yelled, standing to his feet.

I grabbed his arm before he could continue forward.

"I'm sorry, Harry, I really am, but it's not my department. It's the head of management's!" He said holding up his hands.

"Are they aware that Skye just had my baby?"

"Yes." He sad sadly.

"Bloody hell." Harry said, sitting back down and putting his head in his hands.

We were silent for a moment before I spoke. "Do the other's know?"

"Yes. I told them before I came here."

Harry didn't move.

"I got you longer time with your family, Harry. You were supposed to leave next week."

Harry looked up, his eyes bloodshot and watery. "Thank you." He mumbled.

I took his hand as he spoke again.

"Do the fans know?"

"Not yet. Soon though." He said, getting up.

Paul handed Darcy to me and smiled sadly at us. "She really is beautiful." He said, patting Harry's back.

"Thank you, Paul." I said, smiling the best I could.

They left, and the minute the doors shut, I heard a small sob escape Harry's lips.

I slowly made my way to Darcy's small crib, laid her down in it and went to Harry, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I don't want to go." He whispered. He set me firmly on his lap, his hands gripping my waist tightly.

We stayed like that for a while before I pulled away. I tilted his head up to look at me. "Harry, I don't want you to go either, but if you just keep putting these tours off, they'll only get longer."

He pressed his forehead to mine. "I know." He kissed my nose, tears still silently streaming down his cheeks at a slow pace. "I have to go, don't I?" He whispered.

"I don't want you to go," I said. I could feel the lump in my throat growing and the tears stinging my eyes. "But it'll get worse, and that means more time away." My bottom lip was trembling, causing my to lightly bite it to stop the shaking.

I felt Harry's hand gently come up to my face to rub his thumb across my bottom lip. "I love you." He whispered, kissing me ever so softly. He tasted sweet and like mint gum, making shivers go down my spine.

He pulled away, moved me off his lap and onto the bed, wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close.

I rested my head on his chest and we lied there in silence watching little Darcy nap.
