Baby Daddy // h.styles

chapter 1

"W-when did this happen?"

"I don't know, she left a note on the carrier, rang the doorbell and ran away and now there's a baby in my house and apparently it's mine, and I don't even know it's name."

"Wait so who just dropped a baby off at your house?" Liam asked, turning to Harry who still had fear in his eyes.

"Ariana Grande."

"Really?"

"No! It was Stevie!"

Stevie and Harry were together not very long when she dumped him out of no where. It only now occurs to Harry why exactly she did.

"You haven't been with Stevie for over a year."

"Well then we know this baby is a least three months old."

Liam looked back over at the manila folder. "What's in there?"

Harry's head snapped in the direction of the counter top. "I don't know. The note said that it has everything from Stevie that I'll need."

He grabbed the manila folder, his rings clinking against the marble counter. After his shaky hands opened up the folder, he reached in and took out a stack of papers.

"So?"

"Wait! I'm looking!"

Inside the folder was her birth certificate, doctor's records, and some pictures.

The first picture he found was an ultrasound picture. It was labeled for about six months ago so she was still growing in there. The next was of Stevie sitting on the couch in her apartment, her big belly had a bowl resting on it, a spoon sticking out the top.

Harry set all the papers down other than the birth certificate.

Riley Grace Styles

Mother: Stevie D. Johnson

Father Harry E. Styles

Liam was looking over his shoulder, and put his hand on Harry's shoulder, trying to comfort him.

"How am I supposed to do this? I don't even know how to hold a baby right."

"Here, I'll help you."

Harry lifted the infant gently, his hands under her armpits, her feet dangling.

"PROTECT HER HEAD!"

He immediately changed his hand positions, holding her in a safer way than before. He pulled her towards him, Liam helping him adjust.

"Put your arm right behind her head and your other - right there, okay."

Harry was looking right in the eyes of this tiny baby and she stared right back at him. Only seconds into their stare off, she burst into tears.

"Liam help she doesn't like me!"

He handed the baby to Liam quickly and started biting on the sides of his fingers.

"God, what am I supposed to tell Lauren. Oh my god! Lauren! Shit! She's supposed to be there any minute now!"

Lauren and Harry have been going out for about nine months, and it's going to be a little hard telling Lauren about this all of a sudden baby.

Almost on cue, the doorbell rang.

"Fuck."

Harry walked over to the door, opening it to revealing the dark-haired girl standing in front of it.

"Hey babe," She smiled widely at him, kissing him on the cheek and walking into the house.

"Um, I actually have something I need to tell you."

"Yeah?"

"There's uh- there's someone here to meet you."

He lead her into the kitchen where Liam's back was facing them. When he turned around, Lauren dropped her keys to the floor, her eyes widened, and a look of utter shock was plastered on her face.

"Lauren meet Riley. My daughter."

After seconds of complete silence, Lauren spoke up "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

"I found out just about thirty minutes ago?"

She furrowed her brows together in confusion.

"I was with her mom over a year ago and left me out of nowhere and I guess this is why. She all of a sudden left her at my doorstep and ran away after ringing the bell."

"Um, Harry? You need to get some thing for her. She's kinda stinking up the place."

He shook his head and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I don't know what to get for a baby."

Lauren lifted her head up. "I used to work in a daycare, I can help you."

~++~

Fifteen minutes later, Lauren ran into the house to give Liam the diapers and wipes and hopped back in the car to grab some other things.

"I really hope you're not upset with all of this, I know it's overwhelming."

"No, no, I'm not upset, just thinking about what you're going through right now makes me feel really bad for you. I mean, all of a sudden a random baby showing up at your front step must be a lot crazier than finding out your boyfriend has a child. Don't worry about me."

They walked into Babies 'R' Us together, Harry sighed and looked over at Lauren, "Let's do this."
