Nicole's POV-

As we left Harry's flat all I could think about is this "Alissa" girl he seems to be so fond of... Yes I know I should be happy for him because I mean I'm in a happy commited relationship and he should be able to be happy too but I guess a part of me, the selfish part of coarse wants him to stay single...

When we arrived at the park, Harry helped me set up the stroller and get Raylin situated.

"All set" he muttered to himself, standing up and dusting his jeans off. He had to kneel to place the diaper bag at the bottom of the stroller, I offered to do it but he insisted on doing it so I decided not to question him.

"Alright are we just going to walk?" I asked, I didn't care what we did I just wanted to hang out with him honestly

"No I packed us a picnic, its in my car" he smiled jogging around to the back seat

Once he came back around, he held a cute little basket. I laughed a little thinking about how sweet he was to have done all this for me and Raylin.

"Okay lets go, there is a shady place right over there where we can sit" He pointed towards a tree that shaded most of the area around it.

"Sounds good" I smiled pushing Raylin's stroller in the direction of the tree, Harry jetted off towards the spot to lay out a blanket which made me giggle once again.

When me and Raylin finally managed to get to where Harry stood he had a sly smirk on his face, I gave a him a look not really know why he was making that face.

"What's up with you?" I laughed, he just shrugged in response

"I'm just happy we're hanging out again" he stated sitting down and patting the spot next to him signalling me to sit also.

I pushed Raylins stroller next to me as I sat down, she was asleep so I pulled the viser of the stroller down so the sun wasn't in her eyes.

"So shall we dig in?" Harry asked

"Yeah, what'd you pack?" I smiled

"Ham and Turkey sandwiches" he beamed

"Very fancy Styles, you outdid yourself" I joked, he lightly pushed me

"So what will it be Ms.Hudson?" he asked

"Turkey" I simply replied, as he dug through the basket.

He finally pulled out a sandwich and handed it over to me, never breaking the smile that was etched upon his face. I laughed and grabbed it out of his hands, unwrapping it and taking a bite.

"Damn Nicole, you hungry?" he chuckled

After I gulped down the huge bite I was attempting to eat I replied with a "yes" and kept going at it, I haven't eaten all day with the stress of Louis' family coming over and Trisha and Niall coming home.

"I had to get up early... Johannah and the girls are in town for the week so I had to clean up and get Raylin ready" I said, watching as he too starting eating his sandwich.

"I see, how are you and Louis doing?" he questioned, catching me off guard a bit.

"We're good, the real question is who is this Alissa?" I winked, causing him to blush

"Well what do you want to know?"

"Tell me about her" I smiled, taking the finishing bite of my sandwich

"She's really nice, she loves to sing and dance, shes in the medical field but she wants to one day become a famous dancer. You should see her dance Nicole she is truely amazing!" He exclaimed, I could help but feel happy for him.

Yes I did not like the fact that he moved on, but that is selfish and immature of me to get mad over my friend being happy. I want the best for Harry and maybe this Alissa is what he needs right now, I'm now in total support.

"That's great" I said, glancing over to see if Raylin was okay.

"Nicole you know you can talk to me if something is wrong right?" He asked eyeing me intently

"Yeah of coarse" I smiled

"Okayyyyy" he dragged on, I laughed and hit him lightly on the shoulder

"What should we do after we finish up?" I inquired playing the hem of my shirt

"It's all up to you, I thought maybe we could just go back to my flat and chill out" he shrugged clearly not caring what we do

"Yeah that sounds alright" I grinned

About a half an hour past and it's been fun talking and laughing with Harry, I miss him tons and today was refreshing to say the least.

When small whimpers became audible we knew it was time to pack up and head back to mine and Louis' flat. As I tended to Raylin, Harry finished packing up the leftovers from the picnic.

Once I finally got Ray settled down some, we walked back to the car. I felt bad that Harry had to push the stroller and carry the picnic basket, but Raylin was grumpy and was just not having it.

"Harry I'm so sorry" I whispered, bouncing on the balls of my feet with an almost sleeping baby in my arms.

"Babies cry Nicole it's fine" he chuckled, reaching out to take her out of my arms.

He gestured for me to get in the car, as I sat down and placed the safety belt over my body the back down opened slowly and I looked back to see Harry placing my wide awake daughter in her car seat.

As he climbed in the front seat I couldn't help but wonder why she was awake and not crying any longer.

"How'd you manage that?" I laughed, looking back at my baby girl looking around the car eyes wide with interest

"Nicole you forgot to burp her" he stated laughing, I mentally face palmed.

"I'm a horrible mother..." I groaned placing my face in my hands.

"No you're not, don't say that. You are a wonderful mother, when people are exhausted they tend to forget the little things. It's okay, really I'm always happy to help you know that" he explained rubbing my back

"Thanks" I sighed reaching over to give him a quick hug.

"Anything for you" he whispered playing with my hair.
