Harry Styles X Reader *editing and updating*

Special Chapter (Alternate Ending)

Harry's POV

It's been about 10 years since my wife's passing. My son and daughter have grown up so much. (Y/s/n) is a sophomore and (y/d/n) is in elementary. I'm so proud of who they've become. (Y/D/N) looks more and more like (y/n) every day. She's a gentle, loving and caring little girl.

(Y/s/n) is very protective of her and loves spending time with her and do things with her. I always hoped they would grow up to be really close. (y/s/n) has gotten into a lot of sports and (y/d/n) has joined in cheer leading. I watched them grow up and it makes me so proud. I know (Y/n) would have loved to see what they have become.

Today I was taking them to the cemetery. We were doing our annual visit to see her. I miss her so much. (y/d/n) didn't quite understand yet but she was catching on slowly. She knew who her mother was and that she loved her, but she was still unsure about other things.

Once we arrived we left some flowers on her stone. (y/s/n) still had a bit of a hard time but he was okay.

"I miss you so much Mum..." (y/s/n) started. "I did exactly what you told me to do and be the best I can be in anything I do. I love you and I wish you could have seen me on the field. I want to hug you again. Just one last time." he said as he teared up and I rubbed his shoulder. Then added my two cents in.

"She does see you (y/s/n), she watches over you every day. You and your sister." I said and he nodded.

"Daddy, why did she have to go?" (y/d/n) asked.

I stayed silent for a moment. I know this question would come up. They both knew she passed away but neither of them knew how or why.

I took them home and sat them in the living room. They sat on the sofa while I stood in front of them.

"Alright kids, now listen okay?" I said and they nodded.

"Your mother was a gentle woman and so kind, she was the light at the end of the tunnel, she was beautiful. Anyway your mum had to go because her time was done here. She had been going through a lot of things with her heart and lung." I started and their eyes seemed to have widen.

"Dad... So all the time she was physically with us," (y/s/n) started...

"All the time she was with us she was struggling to live and I didn't make it any better. She did her very best to not show that she was in pain or anything. She was always generally happy because she had so many people with her. You guys, me, her friends, family, just a lot of people so it didnt bother her so much." I said, finishing off his question.

He nodded and they listened as I talked about her.

Later I had finished and I hugged them both. I looked at (y/d/n) and I realized she was beginning to really understand. She cried for a bit but just like the day she passed, there was a calming feeling that filled the room.

I believe the kids felt it too.

"Dad... What's that?"

I turned and saw an outline of (y/n), it was a breathtaking. I looked down though. I was scared to say the least.

"I'm trying so hard to raise them. I really am." I whispered and she just looked at me with a smile.

"I know you are and you're doing great..." Her voice seemed to say to me. I smiled some.

"I just miss you so much... We all do. It's been really hard not being able to see you and talk to you. Also not hold you. I miss everything and I wish I could turn back time and you'd be here with us." I said as tears started to form in my eyes.

"Breathe Harry... Just breathe. I'll always be with you in your heart. Look at (y/d/n), she's the spitting image of me. You have a family and you need to take care of them. You have plenty of friends to back you up as well. You'll be okay. It's been a long time Haz... You need to let go. Don't forget me but don't hold on either. None of it was your fault. Now calm..." she whispered to me.

I felt my eyes get heavy and soon everything went black.

~~~~Later~~~~

I woke up in bed and looked around. I noticed it was dark outside then I went downstairs.

I saw (y/s/n) sitting in front on the floor with his girlfriend and I saw (y/d/n) sitting next to a woman. She seemed oddly familiar.

"Hey guys." I spoke up.

"Hey Dad." (y/s/n) spoke up first.

"Hi Daddy." (Y/d/n) said.

"Hi Mr. Styles." Melody spoke up. She was very polite.

"Hey Hazza." the woman spoke up that sounded exactly like (y/n). I went around the couch and sat beside her. She looked at me and it was (y/n).

I kissed her and she kissed back. I smiled into the kiss then pulled away.

"This can't be real." I whispered.

Then I felt a hard pinch.

"Ow!" I groaned.

"It's as real as real can be." she whispered.

"But..." I started.

"I know Hazza. You've been having the same reoccurring nightmare for the past year. It's okay though. Everything is alright now. Relax okay?" she said to me and I nodded.

Everything was real enough but those "nightmares" were real too. Well at least felt like it.

I had to stop my mind from thinking. The only thing that mattered was that she was here with us. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and she laid her head on my shoulder.

We all enjoyed our time together and we were a lot happier. At least I knew I was. The kids may not know but I wouldn't change it for anything.
