Chapter Thirty-Seven
I smiled as I felt soft fingers trace patterns into my back, I didn't open my eyes though, instead I kept them closed to enjoy the feeling. His lips pressed softly the the back of my neck, and I could feel his lips curve into a smile.
"I know you're awake babe." He whispered against my skin, his hand grabbing mine underneath the sheets. He laced our fingers together, kissing my neck again.
"I'm not awake yet... I'm still sleeping." I mumbled, turning my body so I was now facing him. I opened my eyes slowly, smiling even more as I laid eyes on Niall.
"Morning babe." I whispered, kissing him softly.
"Morning sleepyhead."
"What time is it?"
"Half past nine. I already fed Lizzie, and she's in her room playing with her toys. We were just waiting for you to get up so we can go out."
"Why? Where are we going?"
"You seriously forgot? Haz, we've got some last minute wedding shopping we need to do! We have to pick up our tuxes today, along with Lizzie's dress."
"I thought we were doing that tomorrow!" Niall let out a small laugh, shaking his head at me. He sat up, untangling his fingers from mine as he did so.
"Nope! We're doing it today, so hurry up."
"Why can't we just do it tomorrow?" I groaned, turning so my face was in the pillow.
"Cause the sooner we get this done, the sooner we can relax. We're getting married in a little less than a week Haz. We need to get it done."
"Fine. But you better promise me that tomorrow we just stay in? I don't feel like doing much after this."
"Promise. Now get up!"

"Lizzie, come to daddy!" I said, smiling as I watched her wobble across the park. We had decided to stop by on our way home, not really wanting to go back inside for a while. Niall was sitting on the ground just a few feet away from me. He was watching Lizzie just as closely as I was, almost ready to spring into action if she so much as stumbled.
"I can't believe she's walking..." He said, looking up at me for a moment.
"Well she is almost two Ni. She's supposed to be walking."
"No... She's supposed to be a little baby. She's not allowed to walk..."
"Ni..."
"I've missed so much already, and here she is walking. Next thing I know she's going to be talking a mile a minute... I missed the first year of her life, and according to a lot of people it's the most important...."
"She doesn't even remember it Ni."
"I still missed it Harry."
"But you're not going to be missing anything else. You aren't going anywhere Ni... She won't even remember that you weren't there, and she she won't know unless you tell her. Just focus on the now instead of the past, cause it's in the past. I've forgiven you."
"I know you have... It's me who can't forgive myself."
"Stop blaming yourself for everything okay? It wasn't just your fault you know. I left first... I started all of this. I'm the one who broke you first, and I guess I just put all the blame on you when you left me... You weren't the one to leave first... I took Lizzie away with me when I left Ni, you didn't even know she existed."
"But I did Harry... I just chose not to say I did."
"Can we just not talk about this? I don't like to think about all of that, believe it or not it still hurts to talk about it..."
"I'm sorry." He looked down at the ground, playing with his hands that sat in his lap. Lizzie reached me at that moment, plopping down on my lap. She smiled up at me, taking her hand to pat my arm. I smiled back down at her, glancing up to Niall only to frown. It wasn't at Niall though... There was someone behind him. Just the mere sight of him made my stomach drop, and I was quick to look away when the man noticed me looking at him.
"Ni... Let's go home. I think it's time for LIzzie's nap." I said in a rush, standing up almost instantly. Niall looked curious, but didn't really seem to question me. I grabbed Lizzie, holding her in my arms as we walked to the car.
"What was that about?" He asked once he climbed inside.
"Don't worry about it Ni... I just didn't want to be there anymore."
"Why?"
"It's nothing."
"You saw something... What?"
"Can you just leave it alone?"
"No. It obviously scared you! What was it?"
"I saw Louis... He was watching us Ni..." I looked down at my hands, dread filling my stomach. Niall nodded, his expression turning to one of anger.
"He won't hurt you Haz. I'll make sure of it alright. I won't go to my bachelor party tonight."
"Niall! They've been planning that since we told them we got back together. You can't just bail on them."
"Your safety is more important to me than some stupid party."
"Niall, you're going. I'll be fine." I gave him a reassuring smile. It wasn't like Louis knew where we lived anymore, we left that old apartment building, and we were currently staying in the same building as Liam and Zayn.
"Are you sure... I'm sure we can just go out tomorrow night or some other time..."
"You're going Ni and that's final." He nodded at that, leaving the conversation alone. A few hours later however he was leaving. He waved goodbye as he walked out the front door. I held Lizzie in my arms as we waved goodbye.
"I love you!" He shouted as he left
"I love you too." I called back, smiling as he left.
Tick tock goes the clock
