Sparks Fly

chapter 23 - New year

Louis P.O.V

I smiled as I check marked names off "yes and it will be over around 8 so anytime between 8 and 8:30" I said "great I know jazzy will have fun see you then!" Her mum said "great bye". I hung up and huffed, I called all the parent for Beau's 10th birthday, I've had it planned already but this is the last minute stuff I need to do to ensure she has a smooth and happy birthday, like make sure her friends could all still come. Yesterday I was thinking about when Beau was really little.. I spent her first birthday no one but Beau and I. Since I was trying so hard to get on my own feet I was a bit farther away from home. I remember on her birthday I had a talk with myself about when she was older, how I would explain life to her. And I remember the first time she asked why she didn't have a mum. The only thing I could say was that she had to leave when Beau was really small because Daddy was special. That was enough for her then of course she tuned 7 and the topic of why she didn't have a mum came up so I explained that daddy doesn't like princesses I like princes so a mum wasn't needed, and ever since she seemed to have a better understanding. But I still have his small fear inside me that Harry will wake up one day and leave and not come back, I will be heart broken of course but Beau... I can tell what Harry is becoming for her.  I sighed, I'm just over thinking. I need to focus on the next couple days for Beau, Harry and I. For New Years Harry and I agreed to just stay at my house for the night. His management wanted him to make him do a public appearance for promo but he said no. It was only 8 but Beau was already asleep since she woke up really early today. 

I groaned and rolled over and laid there for a second before blinking my eyes a few times and looking at the clock, it was 10 in the morning. I sat up and wiped my eyes trying to make the tiredness go away quicker but I was still drowsy feeling. I went to the bathroom and peed before I brushed my teeth and hair. I grabbed some comfy joggers and a plain shirt and put them on, I figured I don't need to dress up if I'm just going to be home tonight. I went downstairs and smiled seeing Beau, I kissed her head "morning darling" she smiled "morning daddy" "did you eat?" I asked glancing at the time again. She nodded "yes I ate at around 8:30" I nodded "good girl, Harry is coming over later" she smiled "I'm so excited for tomorrow" I smiled acting like I forgot "you love New Years that much?" she giggled "no because tomorrow is also another special thing" I hummed "New Years and what?" "My birthday!" "oh right" I said laughing. 

'Harry I don't know how to make this" I said looking at the stuff he set up in front of me "Louis I even put it in order for you" I groaned "fine but if I mess up I'm blaming you" I said as I started to pour spices over vegetables and he laughed "fine I can accept that". We were making some dinner while we passed time "you ready for the New year?" I asked and he smiled "yeah actually I am.. I'm excited for what it will bring" I smiled softly as I mixed everything "me too.." "Harry daddy can I stay up till 1" I laughed "why so late" she smiled "I'm almost 10.. and I think I should get to stay up that late on my birthday" I chuckled "12:30 take it or leave it" Harry said pointing at her, she hummed "FINE DEAL!" she giggled and ran to the living room. I smiled at Harry and he looked at me "what?" he asked chuckling, I just shook my head and went back to mixing. 

"5...4...3...2....1 Happy new years!" we all said looking at the clock and I smiled as Harry pulled me in and kissed me. I smiled and hugged Beau, who I could tell was tired. "Happy new years daddy, happy New years Harry" she said hugging us "Happy new years darling" I said kissing her before Harry hugged her "also Happy Birthday!" I said doing a little dance "Yay Happy birthday!" Harry said doing a cute little dance making Beau and I both laugh "Thank you daddy, thank you Harry" she said hugging me. I picked her up and grunted "yup you're getting big" I said a little sad yet happy "my little girl is getting big" I said as she leaned her head on me "I'll be your little girl forever though daddy, I promise" I smiled "I hope so".
