Those Curls

Chapter 13

Harry's P.O.V

I got done with my shower and got dressed quickly. Brooklyn and Sophie were downstairs waiting for me, so I went downstairs and found them on the couch. I saw the movers packing things into the elevator.

"Hey princess." I went in front of Sophie, picked her up and kissed her.

"Dwaddy!" She squealed with delight. I loved being a dad, even though I was young and had the hard parts out of the way.

"Harry, I think you should check your Twitter." Brooklyn said, looking up from her phone with a sad expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" I asked, shifting Sophie to my hip and getting out my phone. I opened the twitter app, and saw thousands of mentions about Sophie and me.

'@Directioner101: @Harry_Styles You have a daughter? Wow. I'd like to see you survive one week as a dad.'

That tweet set me off, but I managed to keep it inside.

'@HazzaLuv: @Harry_Styles I am so glad you have a daughter! You prove to be a great dad with helping Lux, and I'm sorry about her family.'

What's wrong with Lux? Did something happen? One of the boys would've told me though, right?

"Lyn, what happened to Lux's family?" I asked cautiously. Brooklyn stood up and took Sophie from me. "What happened?" I was getting a little angry, and by Brooklyn's actions with Sophie and her face, I could tell something bad happened. She was expecting me to blow up or break down. I couldn't tell which one.

"Harry, Lou and Tom were in a bad car accident and they... They..They died at the hospital. Lux was in the car too, and she's in critical condition. Louis called and told me." She said. I swear my heart broke in half. Lou, Tom and Lux were like my second family. Lux was like my daughter, and I couldn't imagine her hurt. She was so small and fragile. I fell back in a chair and let my eyes tear up.

"Will Lux make it?" I asked. My voice cracked on the last 'L' of will, and a tear streamed down my face.

"Yeah. But she has cuts and things like that. The boys are there with Lux now, but Harry, they left custody of Lux up to you. She can be your other daughter." I looked up at Brooklyn and saw her giving me sad looks.

"But I have Sophie, and I don't have a girlfriend who can help me take care of her." I saw Brooklyn look at Sophie.

"Harry, I'm willing to give it another go, but I can't take care of two babies. Sophie is almost three, but she is still my baby, and Lux is almost one. Just wait until she gets to be two." My heart dropped.

"Then what? The boys won't take her, and nobody in her family wants her. They have kids, or have already had kids." She sighed deeply.

"Harry, I'll do it, but you have to promise to help me. We need to make sure we take a car seat for her to come home in, and a blanket and a coat. I really think I love you, but I need to have you help me and show you love me too." I jumped up and kissed her.

"I promise. I love you, and I love my little princess too. I'll have three of the most beautiful girls to share my life with." Brooklyn had a big smile on her face.

~*~*~*~At the Hospital~*~*~*~

Brooklyn's P.O.V

We got to the hospital and rushed in. Sophie had fallen asleep on the car ride, so Harry was carrying her. We got to the waiting room and Liam, Louis, Niall, Zayn and Paul were sitting there.

"Where's Lux?" Harry asked, walking in and looking down at Sophie.

"She's in the nursery. Let me see Soph. You go see Lux." Liam said, so Harry handed Sophie to Liam and went to see Lux. I followed behind him, and when we saw Lux, Harry burst into tears. I let him cry into my shoulder, and this was heartbreaking. Harry was crying, and Lux was laying so fragile and sweet with cuts and bruises all over her. I felt myself tear up too, but told myself not to cry.
