harry
"happy birthday daddy!" erin exclaimed teasingly, nudging harry in the side. harry was in the kitchen making breakfast before he headed off to work. a small smile appeared on his face as erin pulled out a present.

"i asked myself, what do you give a man that has everything he could ever ask for? so instead i made you this.." erin continued as harry carefully opened his present. he slowly started to unwrap the sides of the gift, peeling off the scotch-tape.

erin clenched her jaw impatiently before grabbing the gift from harry and opening it herself. she threw the gift-wrap on the ground and handed the book to harry.

harry glared at her, but decided not to say anything because he didn't want to start a fight. taking a closer look at the book, tears began to fill his eyes. it was a "daddy&me memory book". it was not the store-bought kind, it was hand-made.

he looked through the book that had creative scribbles and designs drawn on them. small sea shells, tiny rocks, flowers, antique keys and sparkly glue filled the sides of the pages. there were four blank squares on each page to fit pictures in them.

harry looked up at his wife who stood there awaiting his thoughts on the gift. he quickly threw his arms around her, bringing her closer to him. erin was surprised at first but welcomed her husband's embrace.

"m' glad you like it sugar booger!" erin giggled, giving him a big kiss on the cheek. "it's perfect, erin. thank you so much," he smiled softly, looking at the book in his hands.

"hurry off to work now, sugar plum. don't work yourself too hard now, okay? you have a party tonight!" erin beamed happily, patting harry on the chest before skipping off into the living room.

harry chuckled and shook his head in amusement. erin always loved a good party.

elanora
"elanora? what a lovely surprise!" liam exclaimed mockingly as he opened the door for his best friend.

elanora rolled her eyes at him and put tarzan down to roam around liam's house.

"if he shits in my house again el, you will have to clean it!" liam warned, picking tarzan up to play.

"niall asked me to be exclusive," elanora sat down with a thud. "oh the horror!" liam gasped in shock making elanora hit him hard in the stomach.

he hunched over in pain, putting tarzan down. "el! that hurt! you're a dangerous woman!" he wined, rubbing his stomach.

"enough with the sarcasm and song lines! help me, li. i don't know what to do," elanora sighed. she really liked niall but she didn't know what was going on with harry. he said that he left his wife a few days ago but he hasn't tried to contact her since. did he want her to call him? elanora was so confused.

she didn't want to go head first into a relationship with niall without knowing where her and harry stood. maybe i should just give up on guys, she thought.

"it's all up to you, elly belly. i can't make all your decisions for you," liam pointed out as he stroked tarzan's fur.

elanora sighed, "i like niall, li. i like him a lot. it's not fair to him to be waiting on me to get over harry. i'm not even over harry. i still love him. i will always love him, i think," she put her foot up on the couch to be more comfortable.

"personally, i like niall. he got me an autograph from nick grimshaw for christ sakes! plus, he's never done anything wrong, so far. of course there will always be a place in your heart for harry because your relationship with him was intense. it was like a roller coaster of emotions. you have to understand though, a relationship like that can also be toxic for both of you," liam finished, staring elanora right in the face.

elanora felt like she has heard this all before. and indeed she did, from the countless times that came crying to liam when her and harry would have fights and breakups.

"i need to see him, liam. i need to talk to harry. i need to know where we stand in his eyes before continuing whatever is going on with me and niall," elanora decided, putting a smile on liam's face.

"it sounds like you now know what you want to do," liam nodded approvingly.

"the question is, how do i do that? i'm not gonna risk going to his office again and i don't know where zayn lives. i guess i will have to wait for an opportunity to present itself," elanora rambled on.

"thanks liam!" elanora stood up, "i know i can always come to you," she smiles and gives him a kiss on the cheek.

elanora reached for tarzan but liam pulled him closer. "maybe you should leave him here for a while," liam suggested, batting his eyelashes at elanora. she laughed and ruffed tarzan's fur, bidding them both a farewell.

harry
"happy birthday, bestie!!" zayn shouted happily as he entered harry's office. harry smiled, rolling his eyes at his best friend's happiness. "thanks mate," harry chuckled.

zayn set a birthday present in front of his best mate, taking a seat straight across from him. harry's eyes widened in excitement, even though he was expecting it. zayn always gave him great presents. he slowly started to open the present, taking his time to neatly unwrap the packaging.

zayn rolled his eyes and pretends to yawn, he knew harry had always been slow in unwrapping his presents. finally, harry finished unwrapping it. silently thanking zayn for not doing it for him like erin did.

his mouth dropped in shock. zayn got him a louis moinet meteoris watch. it was one of the most expensive watches in the world. his initials were engraved at the back of the watch. harry was speechless.

"you're always pissing me off, asking for the time every fifteen minutes. now, you have no reason to," zayn explained, leaning closer to the desk.

"zayn, you shouldn't have. oh my god, thank you so much. you really shouldn't have. this is so expensive!" harry rambled on, standing up whilst holding the watch in his hand.

"you're my best mate, i don't mind spending money on you. besides, i haven't got perrie to spend it all on yet," zayn began, "that was not the whole gift. now, for part two," zayn announced. harry scrunched his eyebrows in confusion, what else did zayn have planned?

the raven haired lad snapped his fingers and suddenly four people from the arts department came in holding a huge poster. harry watched as they unfolded it, a wide smile on his face.

it was a picture of harry with a massive stomach. he looked as if he was pregnant. harry shook his head at his best mate, zayn was such a dick.

"i heard that sometimes as the wife gains weight, so does the husband. this will be you in a few months," zayn snickered.

harry gripped zayn in a bone-crushing hug. he was so lucky to have that little shit in his life. zayn wasn't just his best friend, zayn was his brother and he loved him so much.

"i love you too haz," zayn said softly, hugging harry back.
