Harry Styles; former member of the biggest boy band ever and now solo artist. He's got money, fame, and recognition. Fame gets tiring after awhile.
What if he was able to rewind time and just be... normal?

*beep beep beep beep beep beep* reaching over to my nightstand, I groan as I shut off the alarm clock. Cuddled up to my left is a baby girl with chocolate brown hair and green eyes. She's sleeping. "W-what is going on?" I ask myself as I get out of bed and pad through down the hallway and into the kitchen where I see Sel making breakfast. Planting a kiss on my cheek she says, "good morning, handsome. How'd you sleep?" Grabbing the cup of coffee from under the Keurig, I murmur "I slept fine except I noticed a little visitor in bed with me when I woke up." Placing scrambled eggs on a plate, Selena says "I know, I know. You hate when she sleeps in the bed with us but she would not stop crying last night. Poor baby."
Wait what? "Who's baby is that?" I ask her while helping her finish up breakfast. "Very funny babe, acting like you don't know she's our daughter, Gracie." She chuckles. Our daughter? "Speaking of, I need you to go wake her and bring her out here so she can eat breakfast." Walking away from the stove, I head back in the bedroom and scoop Gracie into my arms. Rubbing her cheeks, I whisper "hey kiddo, its time for breakfast, your mum has whipped up some eggs and pancakes and sausage."
She awakes with a coo and when she looks into my eyes, I can see the resemblance between her and I; bright green eyes and she has the cutest dimple in her left cheek. Walking back into the kitchen, Selena grabs Gracie and stands her on the counter. "Good morning my sweet girl." She leaves kisses all over her face.

After breakfast we decide to take a trip to Walmart to grab a few things. When I put on a hoodie and sunglasses, Sel looks at me like I'm crazy and says "uh, what's with the hoodie? Its 100 degrees outside babe." "We need to disguise ourselves so we won't be seen by paps." I explain. She laughs. "Honey, I dont know what you're talking about but let's just go." After grabbing Gracie and the car keys, we head out to the car; a dark red Volvo. I watch Selena as she places Gracie in her car seat. After getting in the passenger seat, Selena says "let's go babe." She smiles as she grabs my hand.

When we arrive at Walmart, I step out of the car and around to the passenger side where I open Selena's door for her. I begin to grab Gracie out of her car seat when she says "dada" and gives me a smile. I suddenly got this fuzzy feeling inside as I gave her a kiss on her forehead. Picking her up and placing her in the shopping cart, I'm surprised when not a single person is coming up to me or Selena and asking for pictures or autographs or trying to snap a pic of Gracie. Pleasantly surprised. It finally clicks in my head; I'm experiencing life as a "normal" guy and not as a famous celebrity. I don't know how or why this is happening but I could honestly get used to this.

"What are you watching babe?" I ask Selena as I plop down on the couch, bowl of popcorn in hand. She reaches for some and says "Oh, nothing really, I'm just watching this documentary on MTV about boy bands and what happens when they break off and go solo." Seriously? "So far, I've seen Backstreet Boys and NSYNC." She turns the volume up and I hear the narrator say "One Direction! The biggest boy band in the world! What happened after the members went solo? Let's find out." I watch with interest as the narrator explains that Louis, Liam, Zayn and Niall were all making their own music and they were each producing albums that were selling like hotcakes. Then it hits me, they left out one person.
"Didn't their used to be five members?" I ask Selena with a confused look on my face. She looks up at me and replies, "no, I dont think so. Its always been the four of them, even during X Factor." "R-right." I remark.

"Goodnight Gracie, I love you." I say as I place her in her crib. I'm still in shock that I have a daughter. This is the best kind of love. A different kind of love.
When I get back to my bedroom, I notice Sel is scribbling things down in a notebook. "What are you doing babe?" I ask. "Well, I'm trying to write down everything I'll need to remember for next month, since you won't." She laughs. "What's happening next month?" She furrows her brows and replies, "seriously Harry? The 28th is when we're getting married. I can't believe you forgot." Married?! Trying to make her feel better I sit down next to her and say, "hey, I didnt forget, I was just making sure you remembered." "Oh suuuure." She says sarcastically. As she begins to reminisce about how I proposed, my mind is suddenly flooded with memories that I didnt even know I was holding onto.
Memories of me on one knee with a ring asking Selena to be my wife. "Next month, I'm officially going to be Selena Styles; I can't wait." She says as she drifts off to sleep. I thought about it for a moment and honestly, I couldn't wait either.
{A/N: So how is everybody liking the story so far? I'm writing this as it pops into my brain so I hope it ends well!
Honestly I love Harlena and if they happened IRL, I'd cry tears of joy lol
I'm going to write as much as I can. Things are crazy due to Hurricane Irma hitting my hometown of Florida. Everyone stay safe out there!
