Sparks Fly

chapter 17 - leave

Louis P.O.V

- 4 weeks later -

I walked out of the building and to my car. Beau was with Niall on set already since it was almost 5. And Harry was on set too, I understand this is his career but I miss him. I have only seen him a couple times but he said that after they get more done I could come visit him on set. Beau has been staying with Niall a lot since he's taking care of the filming and promo for it. Which Beau is loving, she said everyone is really nice and I help her practice her script too. I pulled up to my house and walked up to my door and started unlocking it "supris-" "AH" I yelled flinging my brief case at the voice that scared me. "Oof-" I heard a low voice grunt and I looked down to see harry holding his stomach and some flowers "oh my god harry, you scared me!" I said with relief and bent down to him "sorry" he said with a soft laugh but still holding his stomach. I kissed his head and smiled seeing the flowers "those for me?" He nodded as I helped him up. I helped him inside "I'm sorry I hit you so hard" I said as he stretched a bit "well I don't ever have to worry about you not being able to defend yourself" he said chuckling. I smiled and hugged him "I missed you I thought you were filming today" "I missed you more" he said kissing my cheek "I know I have been busy so I thought I could come spend the night with you.. and I have the day off since they're spending today fixing sets" I smiled and nuzzled him "yes please". I wont lie I have been lonely since Beau and Harry have both been super busy.

I was sitting at the counter with my laptop open and Harry was cooking, he said he wanted to make us dinner and I wasn't complaining since I have been eating a lot of fast food. I was watching Beau's interview she did with her cast of the 'Mulberry' show. "I miss her we should find a day we're all free and I can take you both to go see a movie or to dinner" Harry said as he cut vegetables. I smiled softly "Thank you" he chuckled "for what" "for caring about Beau just as much as you do me" he smiled softly "you're a package deal Lou... and it's the best package deal ever" I smiled and leaned over pecking him before I got up an started putting the dishes he used in the sink. I heard the door bell ring and I whined "I'll get it" he said since my hands were full. I smiled as he walked to the door. "Hi can I help you" I heard Harry say as I was putting the bowls in the water "Hi is Louis here?" I heard a woman's voice say, why does that voice sound familiar? "um yes may I ask who you are" "tell him it's jasmine".

I felt my heart drop into my stomach and I dropped the bowls into the sink all at once. Harry walked over to me and said something but I ignored him and went to the door and flung it open seeing her standing there. Her hair was short now and she aged a bit more, she looked older than me even though we were the same age. She had a lot of makeup on and she smiled at me "Hi Louis" I scoffed "what the fuck are you doing here?" "Louis I-" "no you know what I don't care why you're here. Leave." "Louis please just hear me out" I clenched my jaw and shut the door behind me before I gave Harry a glance. He looked concerned. "you have a minute" I said leaning against my door "Look I saw an article about you and I saw pictures of Beau... that's her name right" "yes it is. MY daughter's name is Beau" "she's my daughter t-" "no she isn't Jasmine. You never were her mother and never will be. You made the decision to forget her and that's fine but I told you to stay away for good. why are you here now" "I keep seeing interviews of her.. and saw her in that singers music video" I scoffed. "Oh so you see how successful she is and now you want to get to know her." "That may be how it seems but I really just want to get to know her Louis... I can't have kids anymore and I want to get to know my only daughter" she said biting her lip. I shook my head "well I am so sorry you can't have kids anymore. But you also don't have a daughter. I do. she is my daughter. I have raised her and you don't exist in her life or mine understood. I have full custody of her and your name isn't even as her mother I had it changed to say surrogate because you made your choice Jasmine. You gave up the right to even say daughter the second we found out you were pregnant" I finished and took a deep breathe. Her lip trembled a little bit "Louis please.. I was young and I wasn't ready to be a mother..." I shook my head "the audacity of you to show up here after almost 10 years... I just. Especially after what you said when she was born."

I don't usually tell people why I was so happy about Jasmine leaving. When Beau was born Jasmine said some things that I will never forgive her for. And she knows that.

I heard the crying and the doctors rushed around cleaning her off. She was crying loudly and I had tears of joy in my eyes as I saw her. Jasmine was laying in the hospital bed tiredly, she just was in labor so of course shes tired. "mom do you want to hold your-" "no. I don't want to touch her... just give her to Louis" Jasmine said cutting the nurse off. The nurses seemed caught off guard and they handed me my baby. I smiled down at her... she was so soft and pink.. she already had a head of hair. I'm going to think thats thanks to me. I bounced her gently and said softly "hi baby.." she stopped crying as I held her close to me. The nurses made sure Jasmine was okay before they left us alone for a little bit. "Jasmine look at her.." I said looking at her. she was laying on her side her back to me. "Louis I don't want to. she isn't my baby. she is yours have a blast" she sounded tired "Are you serious?" I said scoffing a little. "Look I already told you, I would have the baby because I can't do abortion but she is yours. you wanted her you have her. I wan't nothing to o with that...that, mistake." "She isn't a-" "Louis I don't want it!" she yelled scaring my baby girl. I bounced her trying to sooth her "I can't fucking believe you". The nurses came in and asked if jasmine would breastfeed her and of course she refused and said she didn't wan't the baby in the hospital room with her. The nurses pushed at first but Jasmine started freaking out and they gave me and my baby the room next door. I was in disbelief at how she was being. I thought maybe she would help me for the first day of her birth but no. She meant it when she said "I will have her then I am done". The doctors came in and we worked on paper work and I decided on my own the name her Beau. My mum came the next day with my sisters to meet her. Jasmine requested that no one see her except doctors and nurses. The only thing she did was sign some paper work. My mum helped me pay hospital bills and such while I worked to get on my feet. But three days after Beau was born Jasmine went home then she left. And that was it. She signed the papers saying that Beau was mine and she wasn't apart of her life ever. no financial help no visits, nothing. And I honestly am fine with that after seeing how she was.

I looked at Jasmine in front of me as I thought back to what she said "what was it you said... you want nothing to do with that mistake" I said putting emphasis on every word. "Louis" "leave before I call the police. You have no rights here and have no sympathy from me. You said it 10 years ago Beau is my daughter. You will never know her and she will never know you. and if you try anything the police will be involved are we understood" I said as I put my hand on my door handle. She didn't answer and I clenched my jaw "If you're not gone in the next minute I am calling the police" I said going inside. I locked the door behind me and felt my lip tremble, I am so angry I don't know what to do I don't even know what to feel. Harry was standing by the kitchen door and I bit my lip to try and stop it from trembling. Harry opened his arms and walked to me and I hugged him tightly nuzzling my face into his chest. I am so glad Beau isn't home because this is the last thing I saw happening.

Harry's P.O.V

I held Louis in my arms as we laid in his bed. We ate dinner in a comfortable silence and now we were ready for bed as we cuddled. "Louis you don't have to explain anything to me" I said as I ran my fingers through his hair and he sighed "she called Beau a mistake..." I sat up more so I could look at him. "she did?" he nodded "she didn't even look at her. not once. she has no idea what Beau looked like as a baby... she didn't even know her name until she saw interviews of her... she called her an IT and I just... the fact she think she can come back after almost 10 years and try and call Beau her daughter, especially after seeing how well off we are.." I touched his chin gently "hey... It will be okay she's gone yeah? and she can't come back or else she can be arrested" he nodded and sighed. "I'm just worried that when Beau turns 18 Jasmine will try to go to court and say that since she's an adult she has the right to meet her.." I hugged him "look.. she hasn't even turned 10 yet, you have time to finish being an amazing parent and her to further her career and education and... we can worry about Jasmine later" he looked in my eyes. "we?" I furrowed my brow "hm?" he smiled softly "you said we can worry about it later" I felt my cheeks heat up a bit "well I'm not going anywhere". He let out a breathe and nuzzled me.
