I knocked on the door but no one answered. I repeated but no one, I guess they're not home. "Your looking for dear Cress." An old woman spoke to me.
"Yes. By any chance you know where she and her son were going?"
"Oh they didn't go anywhere. They left this house 9 years ago. Where have you been?"
Shit, they left 9 years ago? What the fuck is happening.
"Do you know where they're living then?"
"Of course I do, I was the one who sold her the house." The old lady smiled and told me where my wife and kid went.

"Cress! I'm home.." I knocked on the door again and she answered the moment she saw me, her smile turned into a frown. "Cress, it's me Harry!"
"Hey Cress- Harry.." Niall and the boys were in the house too? What the fuck? They looked at me with deadly but playful glares.
"I'll handle this." She said pushing them away and closing the door behind her. "Why'd you still come back?!"
"I.."
"Harry, it's been 12 years. You lied to me about your career thing-"
"It was real."
"Oh please, would you just stop lying?! The guys told me that your career stuff wasn't true, jerk." She yelled at me.
"I can explain-"
"You don't have to! I managed to support and take care of MY son without his lousy, liar, jerk of a father. You broke your promise. I waited for you, I sat up all night waiting until you returned. I guess what you really did was for the best, I learned to forget."
"But-"
"Mum, who're you talk...ing.. to..." My son, Cody, his all grown up. Let me guess, he's turning Fifteen?
"Go inside, Cody will you?" She said.
"Mum, who is this?"
"I.. I'm your dad, Cody.." I smiled and walked closer to him but he backed away.
"WHAT?! I don't know if your joking, mister. But mum said I don't have a dad and if anyone could be my dad it would be Niall." A nerve popped in. Niall? He wants Niall to be his dad?
"I'm your dad, whether you like it or not."
"NO!"
"Let's just get inside, sweetie." She said pushing Cody inside.
