The Perfect Fathers (SEQUEL to The Perfect Parents)

Introduction

Harry’s POV

I wandered in to the kitchen yawning and stretching my arms over my head. Juliet was up late last night. She’s teething and can’t sleep. I yawned again putting the kettle on the stove to boil. I grabbed two cups and added tea bags. It’s been a very quick two years since Julie was born. I never knew how fast it would go. It’s been amazing though. Hearing her say Dada for the first time, her first steps. Everything was just such a great experience. We were taking a break from our current tour to spend time at home with our families, which was nice. I was just pouring the water when I heard her little feet running down the hallway. I smiled but pretended not to notice. She’s been doing this thing where she likes to scare you and you have to act surprised. Even though I knew it was coming when she jumped out at me I pretended to jump. “Oh you scared me baby.” I sighed.

“Scare Dada?” She giggled. I nodded.

“Yes you did.” I smiled.

“Dada up.” She whined holding her hands in the air. I scooped her up and sat her on the counter so I could finish making tea. “Where Dada Lou?” She asked kicking her legs in the air.

“Dada Lou is asleep. Should we go wake him up?” I asked. She nodded.

“Yeah, yeah. Wake Dada up.” She smiled nodding. I smiled back and put her on the floor so she could run to our room. I followed behind and opened the door. Lou was asleep with both his arms and legs spread over the whole bed, see what I have to put up with.

“You going to scare Dada?” I whispered. She nodded and tip toed over to his side of the bed.

“Dada Lou wake up!” She yelled loudly, actually making him jump.

“What?!”

“You did it baby.” I smiled as she ran over to me.

“You two planned this didn’t you?” Louis smirked from the bed.

“Dada plan.” Julie said pointing at me.

“Me?” I faked gasped.

“Did Dada corrupt you sweetie?” Louis asked hopping out of the bed.

“Dada cowwupt.” She nodded. He walked over and picked her up.

“Shame on you Harold.” He shook his head at me and walked off.

“You’re the one who wouldn’t get up.” I smirked following him. He went to the kitchen and sat Julie where I had put her before.

“I know. I slept in again.” He sighed rubbing his eyes. “I know you were up late, sorry.”

“It’s fine Lou, I’m ok. You can just be on duty tonight.” I laughed.

“I will, I promise. You can sleep in tomorrow.” He smiled and kissed me sweetly.

“We can’t tomorrow, we have the wedding to go to remember?” I said seriously. He gave me a blank look, suggesting he had no idea what I was on about. “Josh and Kim? Our friends? Louis, I told you to remember!” I groaned.

“Oops.” He sighed scratching the back of his neck. “I forgot.”

“Well obviously! We’re suppose help set up and be his best men.”

“Fuck it!” He snapped.

“Dada Lou bad word!” Juliet scolded.

“Sorry honey. What are we going to do? I haven’t got anything ready.” He sighed.

“Well I suggested you get things ready. Now!” I said seriously making him run off.

“Where Dada go?” She asked as I sat her in her high chair.
