Teenage Dreams (Harry Styles AU)

-Chapter 10

Harry's POV:

       It was the day of Samantha's 3rd birthday party, and I was running around Carter's house helping her set up for the party that would be held here in a few hours. She wanted everything to be perfect, and that wasn't going as planned when the cake didn't say what she wanted it to, and when she lost her gift for Samantha, so I had to run out and get her another. Carter was stressing out about this and thank god Samantha is with Louis until the party or else this house would be chaos right now, as she tried setting up for the party. I still can't believe that Carter is my girlfriend. I'm so happy and everything is going so well, and the best part is Samantha approves, in fact she's ecstatic.

      "Are the games set up yet?" Carter asks me as she runs up to me with fairy lights draped around her figure. She's so adorable in mum mode. "Not yet." I respond. "What?" Carter starts freaking out. I pull her into me, and hold her small body against mine as I try calming her down. "It'll get done. Everything's going to be perfect by the time the party starts. Everything's fine." I whisper into her ear. I pull away from her hair and smile down at her. "Stop freaking out, everything is alright." I say once more before placing a kiss to her nose. Carter starts calming down and then pulls me in for a hug. "Thank you for being here and keeping me sane." She whispers to me before gently kissing me.

        I hold her close to me as we kiss tenderly, she slowly pulls away. "The party is going to be great." I assure her. I kiss her sweet lips once more before she agrees and runs off to continue setting up.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       The party had started, and now everyone was here and having a great time. "Have you changed your ring tone yet?" Zayn asked me. "Yes I did." I spoke confidently. "To what? 'Confident?'" He asked. My cheeks grew red as he laughed at his own joke. I feel two soft lips on my cheek and I look down to see it was Carter. My face instantly brightens up as I see her and my hand naturally lands on her hip. "It's time for cake." She tells me. I smile and nod my head.

       We part as she goes into the kitchen to light the candles and I scoop up Samantha into my arms and begin carrying her to the table and gathering everyone else. I could do this. I could be this guy, this father figure in Samantha's life, couldn't I? Couldn't I be this guy to Samantha and Carter? Couldn't I be this guy, the one that they need? I could be Carter's sweetie and Samantha's... well whatever Samantha wanted me to be to her. I could do it, couldn't I? What's stopping me? As long as they're ok with it, then there's nothing holding us back from being a family, right?

      I swing Samantha back and forth in my arms, making her giggle as everyone that adores her stands around patiently, as Carter gets the cake ready. Samantha giggles loudly at a particularly fast swing, making everyone else in the room laugh too, including me. I love Samantha, and I would love to be her Dad if her and her mother allowed me to. I believe I would be great at it. Carter brings in the cake and we all begin singing 'Happy Birthday to you' in unison. Louis sang it particularly loud and goofy making Samantha laugh.

      I place a kiss to Samantha's cheek as I sing to her. Carter makes her way to our sides as the song finishes. "Make a wish and then blow out the candles." I tell Samantha, as I carefully move her closer to the three lit candles. She hides her face in my chest before pulling away and turning towards the candles. She then blows them out with the help of Carter and me. Everyone begins to cheer for Samantha, Louis being the loudest out of them all. I kiss the top of Samantha's head before hesitantly setting her down.

Carter's POV:

     The party was over and everyone had gone, except for Harry. We were exhausted from the long day that we had just had so we were just laying on the couch cuddling. "That was the longest day of my life." Harry laughed. "Yeah, but it was exciting. I can't believe my baby's three." I said with a sniffle. Harry's grip on me tightens just as Sam comes running into the room, she is extra hyper tonight because of the party, people, cake and new toys. Sammy jumps up on us and gets comfortable in-between Harry and I.

     "Did you have a good birthday?" I asked Sam. "Yes!" She replies quickly with excitement. "What did you wish for?" Harry asked her. "I can't tell or else it won't come true." Sammy says. "It's ok. You can tell us, unless it's a secret?" I assured Samantha. She shakes her head no with a smile that it was not a secret. "Then what is it?" Harry asks her. "I wished that Harry would be my Daddy." Samantha said. Harry and I looked at each other shell-shocked.

      Before either of us could say anything the door bell rang. I quickly snap out of it and get up from the couch to get it. Once I stand up Sam crawls onto Harry's lap and cuddles into his chest, Harry places a large hand on her back soothingly. I catch Harry's eye and smile at him before continuing my walk to the door. I open the door and my face immediately falls as I see Niall stood in-front of me. A million thoughts rush through my head as I try and figure out how he got here. My mouth is hung open in shock as I stare at him. "Hello." Niall says with a large smile on his face. I don't hesitate to say. "Go away."
