Jen's POV
The first shows of the tour were to be performed here in London, to three sold out O2 arena audiences. The whole vibe of being back on tour was thrilling, you could feel the excitement radiating in the air wherever you were.
We had a floor of the hotels booked out again for this tour, so everyone was staying in the same place, within close quarters of each other. I loved this feeling of being here, it kind of made me a little reminiscent of the old memories we made two years ago, when this world was new and unfamiliar to me.
"Are you sure I should be here? I'm fine to call an uber to take me home," Eleanor whispered to me, as we lingered around in the lobby, waiting for Niall and Willow to arrive.
"El, it's late, and you're coming to the show tomorrow, you may as well stay here and come with me. Besides, Mia loves you, and if she starts getting too unsettled, I'm going to need someone to look after her."
I knew I was more than capable of looking after my daughter, even if it did mean I would miss some of the show, but I knew by saying what I did, it would give El more incentive to stay. I wanted her here, I felt she needed to be, and I knew if she left tonight, she wouldn't end up coming tomorrow night.
"Way to play the baby card," she scoffed, rolling her eyes.
"I mean, if you don't want to, I could just stay backstage," I shrugged.
"No, I'm more than happy to be her babysitter. It would be a shame if you missed the show, especially since it's the last tour. You love your Aunty El, don't you my little honey bear," she pinched her cheeks, making Mia smile in response.
"Then it's settled, you're staying," I said firmly, allowing El to take Mia from me.
I had a feeling I would barely even see my own child this tour. Between Eleanor and Angus, I'd managed to hold her for two minutes in this lobby, since we touched down in London. I loved that everyone loved her, but I would have liked to have her to myself too.
"I don't think our daughter is going to remember us after these three weeks, she's barely going to see us if these people have anything to do with it," I walked over to Harry, wrapping my arms around his tall frame.
"Just gives us some more one on one time. I recall us having a great time on tour together, I'm sure our daughter wouldn't mind us practicing for her little brother or sister," he smiled down at me.
"I think I'd go into shock if there was a single day where you didn't suggest us having sex," I rolled my eyes at his response.
"I prefer the term, making love. All as I'm saying is if we happen to be alone, in a room, and have nothing else to do, I could think of a great way to pass time. Plus, if Mia doesn't remember us, we'll just make another one to replace her," he shrugged.
"Harry!" I swatted his chest, annoyed he would even suggest that.
"I'm joking, don't get your knickers in a twist. If these f*ckers think they're going to be hogging my daughter this entire tour, they've got another thing coming to them. This is the first time I get to share this experience with her, and I know she won't remember any of it, but I will, and I want her with me for every bit of it."
It still made my heart skip a beat whenever I saw the love harry had for our daughter. There was no better feeling than watching the father of your child, love and cherish the life you created together. I knew how extremely lucky I was to have a man like him in my life, and I was so proud to watch him grow as the father I knew he would be.
I knew having Mia here meant a lot to him, and it's what would make this tour even more special in his heart. I wanted her to look back at photos and videos of Harry, and be proud to call him her father, just like I was proud to call him my boyfriend.
