Hey Angel - Harry Styles Series

Back to LA - Part 24

The boys were off for the next few weeks, which was a good thing because it gave you the time to head back to LA to meet up with Simon about a custody arrangement. Harry was going to visit his mother since the next leg of the tour would be in the UK, but he wanted to be there in LA with you.

"Are you sure your Mom isn't upset that you're not coming there early?" You ask.

"Not at all. She understands." He says.

"I just don't want her to think badly of me or something before I even get a chance to meet her." You say.

"Y/N, how is she going to think badly of you?" He asks.

You shrug. "Cause because of me, you're not going to stay with her."

"It's not because of you. It's because I chose to stay here with you and Ella through this." He says

You sigh nodding and he gives you a quick hug. Since you all would be staying at your house because Harry didn't want to be away from you or Ella, plus Jackson was staying with Harry for the week because Abby was going to be really busy. You, Harry, and the kids were heading to the grocery store to stock up on some food.

Ella was in the shopping cart, while you were holding Jackson's hands. Harry smirks and pushes the cart before hopping onto it as it glides through the store.

"Seriously?" you laugh grabbing some bananas.

"What?" Harry smirks innocently.

"You like one big man-child." You say.

"Hey! I am not!" He whines.

"Yes uh!" Jackson smirks.

"Do you even know what that means?" Harry asks him.

"Uh... No." He says shaking his head.

"Then how do you know I am one?" He asks.

Jackson just shrugs before walking over to get some apples.

Harry shakes his head laughing before ticking Ella.

"Hey!" She giggles covering her tummy.

"What?" he smirks at her.

She giggles puckering her lips. He smiles giving her a quick kiss before moving on to follow you and Jackson. After about an hour, you have gotten everything that you need and loaded into the car. You put both kids into their car seats, while Harry takes back the shopping cart. He then comes back and gets in the driver's side.

Once you all were at home and the groceries were put away, you start on dinner. The kids were playing and watching some Mickey Mouse in the living room, while you and Harry were in the kitchen.

"So, you're meeting with Simon tomorrow, right?" He asks.

"Yep. We're meeting for coffee after breakfast tomorrow." You say.

He nods. "What are you going to tell him?"

"Well." You say looking up at him. "I'm going to tell him that we're going to do this slowly. I'm going to introduce him as a friend and then just go from there. He's not going to get any sort of visitation until one, Ella is comfortable around him and two I know that he's going to be around from now on."

He sighs nodding as he goes back to slicing the vegetables. You sigh walking over to him, rubbing his back.

"I know this is hard on you." You whisper.

"It is, but I feel like I have no right to be." He sighs sadly.

"You have every right to be," you say. "You and Ella have this amazing connection and bond. I mean for you to just up and be okay with her thinking that you're her father especially when we've only been dating for a few months."

"We've been together 8 months now." He smiles.

"Wow." You say. "Is it bad that I honestly feel like it's been longer?" You smile.

"No, not really. I understand how you feel. My feelings towards you are really strong and most people take years to feel what I feel for you." He whispers.

"I love you." You smile up at him.

He smiles widely to you. "And I love you."

You smile leaning up to kiss him. He smiles into the kiss, wrapping his arm around you, pulling you closer to him. After you both pull away, you two are smiling. "That was the first.." He whispers.

"First what?" You ask.

"The first time we've told each other that we love each other." He blushes.

"Oh, wow." You say. "I guess it is." You smile.

Harry smiles again kissing your forehead before you two go back to finishing dinner.

After dinner, everyone helped to clean up. You two played with the kids and their toys before taking them upstairs for bath time. You were with Ella and Harry was with Jackson.

"Dinna was a yummy daddy." Jackson smiles.

"Well, we have Y/N to thank for that." Harry smiles.

"I love her!" He smiles.

"I do too." Harry smiles widely.

"Ya gon mawwy her?" Jackson asks.

"W-what?" Harry asks.

"Mawwy?" Jackson giggles. "Mama say that when two people in love dey get mawwy."

"Oh, well that's true," Harry says. "But getting married and being married isn't just loving someone buddy."

"Den wat is it?" Jackson says.

"Well, marriage is something that two people who are in love and want to be together for the rest of their lives. When people get married, they become a family and if they already have kids the kids become a family." He says. "But when you're in love with someone, you also have to make sure that you're ready to become a family and everything that it entails."

"Oh," Jackson says.

"Yeah, you're probably too young to understand." Harry smiles.

Jackson just shrugs playing with his bath toys. Harry laughs and finishes rinsing out Jackson's hair.

After both kids were bathed and changed into pajamas, it was time to tuck them in. Jackson had a bed in Ella's room. You read them both a story and they all asleep. Harry kisses their heads and follows you to your room.

You both change to get ready for bed before cuddling up together.

"This is much better than staying in a hotel room." you smile.

"Yes, it is." He smiles. "We feel like a little family." He whispers.

"Yeah, we do." you smile.

"I love you." He whispers.

"I love you." You smile.

Harry smirks leaning over to kiss you. You giggle as he hovers over you, knowing that you're not going to get any sleep anytime soon.
