Chapter 33

Wedding Bells On The Brick Of Sanity

Al walked down the hallway of the big house with Serenity in her arms. It has been a week since her birth and officially a week since Al stopped speaking to Harry. They would casually like clockwork walk past each other at 12:30 pm on the dot and exchange a glance. Harry would glance at Al then drop his eyes to Serenity as Al would glance at Harry. Harry was honestly a horrid mess. He had dark big bags under his eyes from the countless nights he stayed in Serenity's room watching her. Then when the morning came up he had to train and work non-stop till sunset and so forth. His hair was a mess as it was doing its best to grow out back to his long curly locks. It even crossed Al's mind to question if he has even eaten, but she quickly debunked that theory when she saw him one night eating in Serenity's room as Serenity slept. Al knew that every night Harry would go in there with Serenity, she doesn't try to stop him. She knew that if he stopped seeing Serenity or even the glances at herself that he would snap out of what sanity he had left.

One night, Al awoke to the sound of Serenity crying over the baby monitor. Normally she would hear Harry's calm shushing noises and Serenity would stop crying. But not tonight, No sound of Harry was heard but only the sound of a wailing infant. Al got up from her bed and to the nursery and picked her up in her arms and soothed her to sleep. She sat down in the rocking chair, she hated how things were going. Harry hated it and she had a feeling Serenity hated it as well. Since her birth, she hasn't had the chance to even have her parents hold her at the same time or put her to bed at the same time. But this was the best thing to do for all of them, right? No, just for her benefit. She loves Harry deeply and she loves her daughter as well. But if things kept going like they are going, Harry and Al would just be like her suppose mom and dad. So here she was 12:30 pm, waiting for the father of her child to walk down the hallway so that she could tell him things that would be very important.

I love you.... I am so sorry for tearing our family apart...... I want to marry you..... I want us to be a family

She waited, holding Serenity close to her chest and staring at the two big doors at the end of the hall where he would come out from. She stared at the door intently, as if she was trying to get the doors to open up by themselves and he would be standing there. She stood there for what felt like an eternity and then looked at the big clock that hung above the two doors. 1:00 pm read the time, she was standing there for 30 minutes. She walked over to the doors and opened them carefully without waking Serenity up. Louis and Niall were in the room training as usual but Harry was supposed to be training with them. Louis had silenced guns and were practicing his aim while Niall was boxing. The squeak of the door gave Al away because as soon as the squeak was heard, both Niall and Louis turned around.

"Oh Hey Al" Louis said with a warm smile. He placed the gun on the table full of other deathly weapons and walked over.

"Hi Louis, have you seen Harry? I need to talk to him." Al said, she looked around the room concerned and was hoping she could see Harry just randomly appear into view.

Louis' smile dropped as he ran his hand through his hair nervously. This made Al worry more, was she too late?

"yesterday afternoon, he just...... went on to 'full work mode'... Simon gave him an assignment and he took it and left without telling anyone. It's an assignment not far from here-" Louis was cut off in his sentenced when a sleeping Serenity was placed in his arms. Al ran out of the room and ran to Simon's office and slammed the door open. Simon looked up from his papers and smiled.

"Hello Al, How can I help-" Al slammed her hand on the table angrily.

"Why did you put him on an assignment?!" She asked furiously, her eyes were filled with rage. Simon sighed and removed his glasses and placed them gently on the table and pinched the bridge of his nose.
