Harry's P.O.V

I frowned.

"Who are you?" I asked and the boys eyes widened in surprise.

"I could ask you the same. You've been calling this number far too much." The man said and I frowned even more, but before I could say anything, a distance voice called.

"What are you doing!? Give that to me!"

"This man has been calling you way too much. You should report him." The man said and I felt anger rise in me but Tahira exclaimed.

"He's my husband! Now give me my phone back!" She said and after a second, I heard her take a deep breath.

"Harry." She said and I immediately straightened myself.

"You're alright!? You aren't sick, are you?" I asked rapidly and the boys sat up straight.

"What? Oh, yes. I'm perfectly fine." She said and my shoulders sagged in relief.

"I've been trying to call you for the past five minutes. Where were you?" I asked and nodded to tell the boys she's alright. Liam gave me a look that said 'I told you so' but I ignored it.

"I was helping the people. Giving them water with some others." She said and I rubbed my other hand on my face. I sighed and Tahira did too. "He's the brother of the kid I told you about." She said, answering my silent question.

"He sounds to be way older." I said and she chuckled.

"He's actually just twelve. I think he thought you were stalking me and tried to scare you off. And on that note, say sorry." Tahira said and then a throat cleared.

"I'm sorry." A childish voice said and I could detect the similarities in this one and the manly one. I chuckled.

"It's alright. Nice to know there are people concerned about my wife." I said and the boys gave me confused looks.

"Uh... thanks." He said and then I heard my wife's voice again.

"I think he's embarrassed. He just ran off." She said and I chuckled.

"Just keep the phone with you from now on, alright? We all were really worried." I said and heard her sheepishly reply.

"Sorry. I promise I'll keep the phone with me wherever I go." She said and that's when were were called.

"We have to go now. Just stay safe and well, okay?" I said and she promised that before we both hung up.

"What happened?" Louis asked and I chuckled.

"A kid there thought I was stalking Tahira and tried to scare me off by doing a manly voice." I said and they laughed.

"That's a first. Why wasn't she picking up?" Niall asked and I shrugged

"She left her phone and went off to help others." I said and they nodded.

Doing a concert after being relieved that my wife was alright was just what I needed to distract myself.

Days passed slowly. Tahira was coming back in a weeks time and I was really excited and anxious for that day to arrive. Things with Patrick and Ameera were going great as now, I had finally learned how to manage them both together. Thankfully, Patrick was really understanding when Ameera got too demanding.

Despite our tries, we couldn't get Ameera to say her first word even though the average time for that is fourteen months but now, Ameera was seventeen months old. She'd just look at us with wide eyes and then she'd either tap our nose or reach out and take our hair in her hands.

Worst part of those days would be when Ameera used to miss Tahira. She'd cry the whole place down, be it backstage or the tour bus and wouldn't settle down until I called Tahira and had her talk Ameera into settling down.

There were a few times that I had woken her up in the middle of the night but she didn't mind.

"Ah, Louise! Help me here!" I called out when I saw a shadow passing through the doorway of my dressing room. "I can't find my coat. Seen it?" I asked, looking through my bags.

A second later, my coat was thrown on my bag and I sighed in relief.

"Thanks, Louise." I said and she chuckled.

"I'm looking for my husband. Seen him?"

"No, I haven't seen To-" I cut myself off when I finally realised who had spoken and immediately turned around with wide eyes.

Tahira was grinning at me.

"I'm sorry, but my husbands name is Harry. Not Tom." She said and I grinned. I rushed to her and took her up in my arms, spinning us a little and she laughed.

"I've missed you so much! I thought you weren't going to be here for a week?" I asked as I put her down and she shrugged with a grin.

"I came back as soon as I could. Like promised." She said and I grinned again before hugging her tightly. I placed a kiss on the top of her head and buried my nose there. I took a deep breath, and was surprised a bit to notice the smell of the desert that came from her hijab. But the universe wasn't so kind to let us have a moment to ourselves because a voice shouted.

"Mum! You're back!"

"Patrick!" Tahira exclaimed and pulled away from me, giving Patrick a huge hug as he crashed into her when she kneeled down and Ameera was looking at them curiously.

"Ma?" Ameera asked and Tahira chuckled, pulling Ameera into a tight hug and made Patrick join the hug soon after but I stood there shocked.

"She just said her first word." I said and Tahira looked at me with a frown but then her eyes widened. She chuckled, shook her head and kissed Ameera's cheek.

"She did."
