Hey Angel - Harry Styles Series

Some Alone Time - Part 27

Harry was upstairs finishing putting the kids to bed after they feel right asleep after dinner. You were downstairs cleaning up. Once you were done, you walk over to the iPod dock and put on some Adele softly. You then grab a wine bottle and some glasses. You pour a bit in each glass before getting some desserts out and bringing them over to the table near the fireplace.

Harry walks in smiling as he sees the romantic atmosphere.

"What's all this?" He asks.

You shrug. "Just thought this would be a good way to end the day." you smile.

"I like the way you think." He smiles walking over and sitting down next to you. He grabs his wine glass, sitting back and wrapping his arm around you.

"So, how are you feeling about today?" You ask him.

He shrugs taking a sip of his wine. "It was fine... I guess."

You sigh sitting up and looking over at him. "I know when you're lying." You say. "Please tell me the truth."

Harry sighs. "Fine if you want the truth, I'm not fine. I didn't like him being there." He says.

"Is that really why he left?" You ask.

"Technically." He mumbles. "But it wasn't just me. After you left with Ella for a bit, he told me that he doesn't like me playing house with you and his daughter. He told me that he didn't like me and all this other shit. So, I told him that I didn't like him either and that we're not playing house and some other words were exchanged before I told him to just leave." He sighs.

"So, you did lie to me!" You sigh.

"I'm sorry! I didn't want to say anything right then." He sighs.

"I still can't believe you did that!" You sigh. "Not only did you lie to me, but you couldn't just get along with him for one afternoon."

"It wasn't my fault! He brought it up!" He defends. "In fact, it was like he was just waiting for you to leave before he started his dick attitude."

"That's just who he is and you fell into his trap!" You groan.

"Are you seriously defending him right now?" Harry asks. "The guy who cheated on you multiple times, left you when you were pregnant AND left your daughter without a proper father over me? The guy who you supposedly love and has been there for you ever since we first met?" He asks hurt.

"I'm not defending him! I'm just saying that you can't just fall into his trap. What if he's setting you up or something and just waiting for you to overreact and then he uses that to work against us with Ella." you say.

"Wait a minute. I thought you said he agreed to go about this arrangement and not have a custody battle right now." Harry says.

"I did say that, but honestly with Simon, I wouldn't put it past him to act like he's okay with this and then all of sudden I get served with custody papers." You sigh. "I just don't want anything to go wrong and possibly upset him. Even if what you said to him is the truth, he would try to one-up you by trying to take Ella away from you."

Harry sighs putting his glass down and wrapping his arms around you. "Baby, I know that you're scared of what's happened or what could happen. I'm scared too. Ella is my daughter. I love her with all of my heart. I know for a fact that even if he were to serve papers, he wouldn't win. He has screwed up way too much for a judge to even grant him sole custody."

"That's not what I'm afraid of." You whisper sadly.

"Then what are you afraid of?" He asks.

"Of Ella finding out that you're not really her father and that Simon is." You sigh. "She loves you so much and yes, she's young and probably wouldn't understand but if someone were to say to her that Harry isn't her daddy, she would be so heartbroken." You sniffle.

Harry sighs sadly kissing your head. "I wish that I could say that would never happen, but I can't because we don't know if that would or would not happen."

You sigh laying your head on his shoulder. "I wish we would have met sooner and that you would actually be Ella's biological father." You whisper.

"I think about that too." Harry sighs. "I think about what it would have been like to see you pregnant or go through doctor's appointments. To finding out the sex or coming up with names. Getting the nursery all ready." He whispers.

"Yeah, but you did those things with Abby when she was pregnant with Jackson right?" You ask.

"When I could yes, but it wasn't the same because Abby and I weren't really together and I just think it would be different had we been." He shrugs.

"Did you ever.. consider it?" You ask. "Being with her?"

"I would be lying if I said I didn't think about it." He says. "But I also knew that I didn't have the type of feelings towards her that would result in a healthy relationship. I loved her as a friend and as the mother of my child, but I knew that it wouldn't be fair to either of us or Jackson if we had gotten together just because we were having a baby together."

"But at least you stayed around. A lot of guys your age wouldn't have." You sigh.

"I just wasn't going to leave my child." He sighs. "Which I think is why I don't have  any respect for Simon and why I really wanted to step up and be there for Ella."

"I'm so glad that you did." You smile. Harry smiles holding you close to him.

"I love you." He whispers.

"I love you too." You smile. "We go back on the road in two days."

"That we do. As much as I'm going to love being back on the road, I am going to miss having these types of nights with you." He whispers.

"So am I, but we'll find a way to have our alone time like this." You smile. "Abby's coming on tour again isn't she?"

"Yeah. She'll be meeting us at the airport." He says. "Speaking of, how's your brother?" He smirks.

"Oh god." you laugh. "He's fine. He's said that he and Abby talk occasionally, but they're not ready to jump into a relationship yet."

"Should we think this is weird?" He laughs. "I mean it is a little weird isn't it?"

"Well, I mean I've heard of a set of brothers marrying a set of  sisters so that to me would be a little weirder." You laugh.

"True." He nods. "But as long as she's happy and that she's with a good guy, that's all that matters."

"And same with Hunter." You nod.

After drinking the entire bottle of wine, you and Harry decide to call it night and head upstairs for bed. You both change before climbing into the bed. He wraps his around you, pulling you closer to him. He kisses you goodnight and you two cuddle up next to one another before falling asleep.
