Bumps On The Road

Chapter 25

"Harry listen to me I am not going. The end!" I yelled "but why, why I really want you to come" he tried to reason "I don't want to. gosh why do you always have to keep on asking?" Because I know there's a reason and your not telling me. "Well maybe I don't want to tell you. Look Harry we have to leave soon, I'm not- I cant- I don't want to. Just leave it ok? why do you need me to go? why cant you take someone else?" he looked me up and down and squinted "really?do u really think Id want someone else to come with me to this lunch?" I tunred away packing up the last things into Ava's diaper bag, putting my cell phone in my pocket. I felt the tears at that point, blinking them away, Taking Ava out of Cal's arms to strap her in her carseat. I sniffed and turned back toward my husband, "goodbye Harry. 3 days I'll be back" being too mad I kissed him on the cheek and left getting off the tour bus to my taxi waiting to take me home to New York for my sister's graduation.

Taking my bad mood with me through the airport as I rudely ignored girls wanting photos, I faked some smiles at ladies cooing at Ava. I waited at the gate early needing some quiet time, Ava wide awake, I set her down on my lap with her feet poking my belly. "I miss your daddy" I told her "mommy could be a bit mean sometimes. I feel so bad" I whispered feeling the tears start again, this time I let them fall, I hugged my baby close to my chest and as I cried getting my phone out of my pocket clicking it on the home screen. contemplating wether I should call him or not I decided to wait. So I texted him "..." he knew what that meant. It meant I'm thiniking of you but I don't want to say anything. he texted back "i know." followed by "call me when you're ready. skype is on 24hrs" after 3 years of being in a relationship with Harry he got to know me pretty well. He knew that after a heated argument I needed a timeout. I needed to leave the situation calm down and think it through alone. Harry was the type to sit and go on about the argument. 'He knew' indicated that he understands.

I clicked my phone away and just sat hugging Ava watchingthe gate slowly fill up. My brain was occupied on my Harry and that last goodbye I gave him, only wanting to go back and kiss him properly and say I'm sorry but I was not quite there yet. I strongly diassgreed with him and I knew that if I called him up it was not over. We boared the plane Ava screaming in my arms impatiently waiting for food, with nasty looks given to me while she screamed I tried to ignore them and check my twitter as we waited for takeoff. Finally we started moving so I took Ava out of her carseat, making sure she was strapped in with me, draped the nursing cover over my neck and she calmed down, just as I planned, wishing I had Harry to giggle with at everyones disgusted looks at us with a screaming baby, I just occupied my self with 'clue' on my phone.

After the long flight of crying myself to sleep then waking up to feed Ava about 30 times , I finally decided it was time to call. Once we had landed I turned my phone on. I saw I had about 8 missed Skype calls from Harry and 4 missed calls and a text message that read "baby when you see this. call me. I know you've calmed down." he knew. he always knew. I smiled. tucking my phone away in Ava's carseat with her as we got off the plane, once I had gotten the stroller I found a bench and called him. "finally." he answered "hi." "baby-" he cut himself off "no no. listen harry. I'm sorry. I really am. I don't even know ok" "okay. I'm sorry too. baby where are you. I need you here by my side." I smiled feeling the same thing. "I'll be there soon I promise"Ava started crying from her seat demanding her mommy's attention I pulled her close and cooed at her. Harry hearing his baby girl from the other end "why is she crying?" he asked "she just wants to talk to you" I put the phone on speaker and harry began talking "hi bubba I love you so much, did you have a lovely time with mummy? " avas eyes widened at what she heard, to a little 4 month old babys eyes its a little weird hearing your father from a strange device not knowing what is going on I laughed at her expression "babe we have to go we still got passport control and baggage claim." I told him "okay go. I love you. Niall sends his love." "send my love to everyone love you Harry." I hung up setting my phone down in the cup holder deciding to put Ava in her carrier. We zoomed through passport control and baggage claim taking a taxi home.

The next morning was filled with getting last minute party supplies, I took my old car down to party city with Ava in tow, it felt nice to do my own thing without being in a venue locked in by screaming girls. I had started to agree with Dan when he said that it was sort of like being in a zombie apocalypse. Now I was surrounded by people that were not murderously screaming for my husband's name or the other boys. I walked around pushing the stroller alone with just me and my girl, it took us only 40 minutes until about a group of 3 girls recognized me and asked for pictures, they politely asked if Harry was with me and why I was in town and if they could hold Ava, I never let fans hold her I just didn't think it was a good idea, I said goodbye and went on my way.

3 days passed so slowly, the party was a blast, but I really needed to get back to Harry so when I texted him saying we landed asking who was picking me up he replied with "Alberto is waiting for you". Zooming through security luckily again, I looked around for Alberto waiting for me, finally I spotted him as I walked towrds him my curlly bob of a husband walked right in front of me hugging me tight at first I was shocked because why is this person doing this but as I whiffed I smelt his cologne and I just hugged him back never wanting to leave, he pulled away as I giggled , I stroked his cheek pulling him in to meet my waiting lips. as we inappropriately made out Alberto moved us to the side as we were in the way, he smoothed the back of my hair and whispered "hi" I smiled and curled back into his chest for one last hug till we went to wherever we were going Ava was in Alberto's arms while he was cooing and playing with her, Harry reached for her hugging her close to his heart right where she fit perfectly.
