FOUR MONTHS LATER

Harry's POV

"You see, when Zayn first mentioned a girl that he met, I thought he was crazy. When I found out he was dating her, still crazy. And as much as I know and love Sarah, I still think he's downright crazy to marry her!" Niall says and everyone laughs. "But I should realize he is just crazy for you Sarah."

Everyone awes and I try not to laugh.

"Shhh!" Shai says smacking my arm playfully. 

"I could stand up here all night and talk about how awesome you two are, but everyone already knows it!" Niall says. "So let's dance, drink, and celebrate the marriage of these two great people!"

Everyone claps and Niall hops off the stage. I see him kiss Kaitlynn and I turn to Shai.

"I can't believe it." she says.

"Believe what?" I ask.

"Three fifths of One Direction are married, Louis and Eleanor are parents, the 2014 stadium tour is over, all of it." she says and I kiss her on the forehead.

 "And it will only get better." I whisper and she smiles. We sit there for a few minutes before Louis and Eleanor come over with their two month old daughter Faith.

"Hello! Oh she is so precious," Shai says and holds her in her arms. No matter how many times Shai held her, or any other baby, she just seemed so happy.

"I was shocked she didn't cry at all," Louis chuckles and I smile at  him.

"I was shocked you actually did it Lou," I joke. "Nah I'm kidding. Beautiful little family."

"Oh but having her isn't easy," Eleanor says shaking her head. "I've barely gotten any sleep. I couldn't imagine Louis being gone now!"

Shai cocks her head to the side, looks at me, and then smiles- I knew what she was thinking.

"Anytime you need a night off we are here," I say and Shai smiles at Faith.

"I couldn't let go of her I don't think," Eleanor smiles. "She completes our life." Louis wraps his arm around his wife and Shai hands their baby back.

"You guys are perfect. It's amazing how much you've gone through, all of us." she says and Louis smiles.

"It seems like we're all set for our lives though. Plans and everything. Harry are you going to make us wait til Niall and Kaitlynn are married to ask Shai?" He asks and I smile at Shai.

"I don't know yet, our lives are still pretty busy. You know her album comes out in two months?"

"Ew Harry stop telling everyone," Shai laughs and I put my arm around her.

"Just know marriage is better than what you're told. At least mine is." Eleanor says and kisses Louis before they turn and walk away; cute family of three.

Shai's POV

I force my eyes to stay open so I can walk into the bathroom and get out of my dress, into something comfy.

"Harry, can you help me?" I call and he walks into the bathroom and pulls down the zipper. "Thanks so much." I tell him and step out of it. His eyes never leave me.

"You're beautiful." he says quietly and I turn to face him.

"No, you are." I say and lean in to kiss him.

"Shai I love you, and I realized something tonight." he says and I step back and wait for him to continue. "I can't wait to see your face when I propose, watch you plan our wedding, see you walk down the isle towards me. Then the day you tell me you're pregnant, seeing you grow with our child inside you, watch you hold them, care for them. I just can't wait for our life together."

"Harry, I can't wait for any of that either, and I wouldn't want to go through life with anyone but you."

TWO MONTHS LATER

"Oh how I love release parties," I laugh weakly and Selena puts her arm around me.

"I love your new album Shai! So glad we got to work together on Baby Be Mine!" she exclaims and I hug her.

"Thank you so much! That really means a lot. I was super excited when you wanted to do a duet and I really love it." I  say and she laughs.

"Oh, I remember you at camp! You've changed so much, and come so far." she says. "Which reminds me, I have someone who wants to talk to you." she grabs my hand and pulls me along through the crowd of people. The people here for me...

"Is that ? Yes! oh just the girls I wanted to see." The- thirty something- man says and I am lost.

"Shai Whaler, meet Jordan Olson, upcoming movie writer, director, and producer." Selena says and I shake his hand.

"Nice to meet you," I say and he smiles.

"No, no. Wonderful to meet you. See, Selena and I have been discussing my next movie, and although she is one of the leads, there is another female part I need. Someone around twenty?" he says and I smile.

"I suggested you." Selena tells me.

"I know you haven't really acted before, but maybe you'd be interested?" Jordan asks.

"Working on a movie with Selena? I would love to!"

"Just so you know, you will play best friends and as you both worked on a song together I figured you would already have some chemistry and you seem very similar." Jordan says and I glance at Sel. Sure we were similar, we seemed to have the same taste in guys. Did she even know about Justin and I? "I'll get ahold of you to let you know more and try to sort it out."

"Thank you so much," I say and Selena pulls me away again.

"How exciting? We have to tell Harry and Justin!" she shouts and I secretly wish my life could just slow down.

Harry's POV

"What? What? Oh my god!" Shai yells at her phone and looks at me. "Niall proposed!"

"What?" I ask and she hands it to me. Sure enough Kaitlynn had sent a picture of the giant engagement ring wit ha message saying ~AODIJOIFOFDH~

"How awesome?" Shai asks and sits next to me.

"Fantastc." I sigh.

"Harry, I know that I'll be back in America for a while touring, and then with the movie. Things aren't slowing down. But we're young." she says and I nod.

"I know, I just think that with this album being our last, and you just starting your career, what's next?" I ask.

"Whatever you want." she says quietly. "I know you don't really want to, but have you thought about a solo album?" 

"Maybe in the future," I say and pull her onto my lap. "I have been thinking about where we'll be living though."

"And?"

"America isn't bad. I could live there, no I want to." I say and her eyes get wide.

"Are you serious?" she asks.

"California has always been my dream," I say and she kisses me. "House hunting trip sometime?"
