You were in the kitchen cutting up some fruit and making sandwiches for the picnic at the park later that day. Harry was upstairs getting the kids ready and soon you would head out. Today was the day that Simon was going to be there. Saying you were nervous would be an understatement. You just hope that Simon stuck to the agreement that he was merely a friend of yours and not at all related to Ella. Deep down you were afraid that he would just blurt out to her that he was her father. Of course, Ella being almost two years old, she wouldn't exactly know what was going on, but she would be very confused and so would Jackson.
Speaking of, Jackson comes running into the kitchen.
"Y/N!" He giggles. "Whatcha doin?" He asks stepping up on the little stool so that he could see the counter.
"I'm preparing our lunch." You smile. "Remember we're going to the park and having a picnic."
"I do member! I love the park!" He giggles. "And Bwuebwerries!" He smirks taking a handful.
You laugh. "Now, your hand and face are all purple!" You giggle grabbing a paper towel to wipe them off.
"So yummy doe!" He smirks. "Need help?"
"As long as you don't eat all of the food before getting to the park, then yes, I could use some help." You smile.
"I pwomise." He giggles.
You smile kissing his head.

About an hour later, you all were in the car and heading to the park.
"You okay?" You ask Harry.
"Yeah, just hoping today goes well." He sighs.
"I know what you mean." You sigh. "But we're going to be there together and if he causes trouble then we can just get the kids and leave or make him leave."
He nods reaching over for your hand. "I love you." He whispers.
"I love you too." You smile.
You and Harry both laugh when you hear the kids squeal in excitement as the park comes into view. Harry parks the car and gets out to get everything, while you get the kids out. Jackson grabs Ella's hand and you all head over to a picnic table near the playground.
"Can we go pway?" Jackson asks excitedly.
"Yes, you can go play." you laugh.
He screeches before gently pulling Ella as he rushes to the playground.
"You know one of our first meetings was at this very park." He smiles.
"It was wasn't." You smile. "It's a special place."
"It is." He smiles giving you a quick kiss.
"Well, this is awkward," Simon says clearing his throat from behind you.
"Oh, uh, I thought you were going to text when you were on your way." You say.
"I did." He says.
"Oh, uh sorry." You say.
He nods. "Can I go over there to her?" He asks.
"I'll bring her over." You say. He nods and looks over at Harry. You walk over to the slide and pick up Ella. She whines a bit.
"You can go back to play as soon as you come to meet Mommy's friend." You say.
"Fwiend?" She asks tilting her head.
You simply nod and walk back over to the table. You stand close to Simon and sigh. "Ella this is Mommy's friend. Simon, Simon this is my daughter Ella." You say.
"Nice to meet you, Ella." He smiles holding his hand out for her.
She blushes and hides her face.
"She's a bit shy meeting new people," Harry says.
"Hm." Simon nods ignoring Harry. Harry rolls his eyes and looks back over at Jackson swinging.
"You're very pretty, Ella," Simon says. "You look just like your Mommy."
You couldn't help but blush at that, hoping that Harry didn't notice.
"Pway!" Ella whines.
"Can I take her?" Simon asks.
You sigh. "Okay, but uh– she's pretty independent so just make sure she doesn't climb to high." You say.
He nods while you put her down. Ella runs back to the playground with Simon following her.

An hour and a half later, you all (including Simon) were sitting down to eat lunch. Simon was sitting on the opposite side of you and Harry, while the kids were sitting on the sides in their chairs. You three weren't really talking much, just a bit of awkward small talk. You were telling Simon some things about Ella and just trying to make it as less awkward, failing at the task though.
"Uh oh!" Jackson giggles.
"What is it, buddy?" Harry asks looking over at them.
"Ella got stinky diaper!" He giggles holding his nose.
You laugh. "I got it." You say getting up. You grab the diaper bag and pick Ella up before walking over to the restrooms at the park, leaving Harry and Simon alone with Jackson eating his sandwich.
"Well, now that we're alone," Simon says throwing his half-eaten sandwich on the paper plate. "Let's get one thing straight, I don't like you. I don't like you playing house with the mother of my child and daughter."
Harry rolls his eyes. "We're not playing house and as far as I'm concerned, I don't care if you don't like me because the feeling is mutual."
"Why because you're afraid that Y/N is going to realize she never got over me?" He smirks. "That my little girl is finally going to realize that you are a fraud and not her father."
Harry could feel the anger boiling inside of him, but he knew that he had to control himself. He glares up at Simon. "Let's get one thing straight, Y/N is over you. Completely over you. You're nothing to her now and you never will be again. And as for that little girl, she's not yours. You're nothing more than a sperm donor at this point. She calls me Daddy. I'm the one that's been there for her longer than you ever have or will be. I'm the one that tucks her in at night and feeds her. She may not be mine biologically, but she is MINE and the sooner you get that through your fucking skull the better off this little arrangement will be." Harry says. "Now, if you would be ever so kind to as to leaving, so my family and I can enjoy the rest of this day without the presence of a dick."
Simon glares at Harry, but before he could you had come back with Ella.
"Everything okay?" you ask feeling the tension in the air.
"Yeah, Simon was just leaving. Work or something, right?" Harry says raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah. I got a meeting." Simon says. "Thanks for the lunch. I'll call you later." He says before getting up and leaving.
You look back over at Harry. He just shrugs and goes back to eating. You sigh putting Ella back in her chair and sitting down next to Harry wondering what happened while you were gone, but also not letting it ruin the rest of the day.
