Sorry it's short

HARRY'S POV



Hanna still wasn't returning my calls. I tried to call this morning to apologize for not being there last night. Hailey had been very reluctant to fly back with me to Florida where Hanna was. I had been trying to convince her it would only be temporary but she wasn't having it, and I couldn't just leave her here. I sighed, hearing Hanna's phone go straight to voicemail for the tenth time. I was alone sitting on my fold out hotel bed. I insisted Hailey and Mary sleep on the actual bed in the bedroom. They were both downstairs right now eating dinner. I couldn't go down and risk the paps seeing me.

I laid down, flipping through the channels until I landed on a semi-bearable history channel show. It was about WWII. Surprise. I jumped as I felt my phone vibrate. It was from Hanna.

Fuck you.

Lovely. That's just great. She hates me. I waited all day for a response, and this is what I get. Just as I let out a frustrated groan, the door opened.

"Is now a bad time?" Hailey teased, allowing Mary to walk in front of her through the door.

"Harry!" She screeched with a voice a little too high pitched for me.

Mary-oh!" I huffed as she climbed onto the bed and climbed up on my lap. She sat down rather harshly on a particularly painful spot if you know what I mean.

"Careful Mary, he needs those." Hailey said with a wink. Whatever small swelling she had on her eye yesterday had gone down with constant icing, leaving only some bruising that could hardly be noticed with the makeup she was wearing.

"So what did you eat?" I asked Mary, ignoring Hailey's comment.

"We had eggs and bacon! Oh and lots of fruit."

"For dinner?!" I asked, pretending to be appalled.

"Yes, it's my favorite. Oh I almost forgot! We brought you something!" She exclaimed, quickly crawling out of my lap and running to the small kitchen area where Hailey was. Mary was so adorable. It made me wonder what it would be like to have kids of my own one day. A brief image of Hanna holding a baby popped into my head, but I quickly shook it out.

"Look!" Mary shouted as she padded back over. She handed me a plate that had two over-easy eggs next to each other and a piece of bacon that looked to be curled up in a smile.

"Did you do this?" I asked her. She beamed a smile and nodded, her wild, brown curls bouncing as she did.

"It looks delicious. Thank you so much Mary." I thanked, giving her a side hug and watched her skip away back to Hailey, then they both went into the bedroom while I ate. I ate my supper quickly and quietly, wanting to try and convince Hailey to come back to Miami with me. When I was done, I threw my plate in the trash and walked to the bedroom door. I was about to walk in when I heard something that caught my ear.

"Hallie, when are mommy and daddy coming back?" Mary asked in a tiny voice. I opened the door just a crack to see both of them lying on the bed.

"Mary, I told you. They're not coming back."

"But why not? I miss them." She sniffled. I looked at Hailey and saw her trying to hold back tears.

"I know baby, I miss them too. But they're living with Jesus now." She comforted.

"Can we go live with Jesus too?" Mary asked innocently.

"Not anytime soon sweety, but one day, I promise. We'll both see your mom and dad again."

"I hope so. But I know Jesus is taking care of them. That's what Miss Nina told me at church last week."

"Well Miss Nina is absolutely right. He's watching over us too you know."

"He is?!"

"Of course he is. In fact, he's probably listening to us right now." Hailey told her.

"Really? Do you think he can tell mommy and daddy something?"

"I'm sure he can. Why don't you go ahead and talk to him." Hailey suggested.

"Alright. Here it goes. Jesus, if you can hear me, can you please tell mommy and daddy that I miss them? Oh and that I love them very much. Please tell them that Hallie and I are just fine. Tell them Harry is taking care of us and he's really nice. Tell them they don't have to worry, cause we're strong. Amen." She made the little sign of the cross with her fingers and then turned to Hailey, who like me, had tears streaming down her face.

"Was that good Hallie?"

"That was perfect Mary. I'm sure your mom and dad will get that message real soon." She choked.

"Hallie can you sing me a song?" Mary requested. I chose that moment to join them.

"Actually, can I help sing Mary?" I asked.

"Yes! Hallie and Harry sing!" She exclaimed, clapping her hands.

"What song do you want?" I asked her.

"The usual." She replied simply, as she lied down and snuggled under the covers. I looked at Hailey for clarification.

"She likes Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift. It calms her. Frankly it calls me too. You don't have to do it if you don't want." She told me.

"No it's okay. I like that song. Taylor and I had our differences, but she's a brilliant singer and songwriter. This is one of my favorites." I admitted.

"Perfect, let me grab my guitar." She said, leaning off the side of the bed to pull up a black guitar case. She opened it and pulled out the pale brown guitar I realized I had gotten her for Christmas when we were still together.

"You still have it?" I asked, surprised she had kept it.

"I didn't hate you so much to get rid of it. Anyway, you ready?" I nodded and she began the first chords. (A/N video to the side.)


By the time we were done, Mary was fast asleep and snoring slightly. Hailey pushed Mary's hair out of her face and placed a soft kiss on her temple. She put her guitar away and motioned for me to follow her out of the room.

"So how much did you hear in there?" She asked after I closed the door.

"A lot. If it helps at all, I think you handled everything perfectly. That's really what she needed to hear." I complimented.

"Thanks. I never know what to say when she brings up Chris and Deliah."

"Well you said the right thing." I assured her.

"Thanks Harry." She smiled. I smiled back and pulled her into a hug.

"Thank you for everything." She mumbled into my chest. I held her there for a few seconds until she tentatively pulled her head back to look up at me. Our faces got closer, only centimeters apart, until she finally leaned up to kiss me. I resisted at first, hesitant to kiss her back.

"Please." She mumbled across my lips.

"Just let go Harry. Forget everything and everyone. It's just you and me here in this room."

"But-"

"Please Harry. I need you." She pleaded, tugging on the ends of my hair. I gave in and pulled her face back to mine roughly. Our kiss became heated quickly and before we knew it, articles of clothing were being tossed to the floor. We laid down on the bed and I left kisses up and down her exposed neck and chest.

"It's okay Harry." She panted when she felt me hesitate to make the first move into her. She pulled me down to give me a reassuring kiss before I rocked into her slowly and easily, as if nothing had changed since the last time.
