Epilogue-

Harry's POV

I stood leaning against a tree, watching all the children play in the park. Memories flooded back as I caught a glimpse of brown curly hair. It was almost exactly like how Hailie's hair used to be.

"Harry," someone called. I looked over my shoulder to see my beautiful wife walking towards me. I smiled at her as we made our way to a near by bench. I put my arm around her and got lost in my own thoughts again.

I ha met my wife, Alice, ten years after the incident. I was there, visiting with her, when I noticed a young woman about my age placing flowers on a grave a fewE rows down from Hailie's. She turned towards me, sensing someone's eyes on her. I smiled kindly to her and turned my attention back to Hailie. I visit her often, always able to talk everything out to her.

Soon I felt a presence to my left. I glanced over to see the same girl from earlier. She had a pretty face with a sad smile but friendly eyes. We began talking. She told me how her husband of four years had died recently, while he was away at war. She didn't even get the chance to tell him she was three months pregnant. And I told her about Hailie. She seemed to understand, she had lost someone special as well.

We became close friends. Always able to tell each other our deepest secrets. I confided things in her I would never be able to tell the boys. She also made me laugh, like no one had in a long time. And it felt right when we started dating. I loved her, with everything I had. Hailie would always be the one, but Alice was the next best thing.

We got married five months after Collin, her son, turned two. We had been together long before his birth and he thought of me as his dad. And he is my son, though we named him after his biological father.

"It's almost time for the party," Alice whispered in my ear, pulling me from the past. Today was Amanda and Abe's seventh birthday. They were Emma and Niall's twins. Niall had proposed to Emma two years after Hailie past away. And not long after that Vera and Zayn broke up, though they're still great friends.

"Alright, call the kiddos," I replied standing up.

"Collins, Hailie! It's time to go," Alice called. The tall black haired boy turned his head in our direction, before running to his younger sister, to help her down from the jungle gym. I watched as the pair made their way over to us.

"My my, look how filthy you two got!" I laughed as I picked up my five year old daughter. She giggled into the crook of my neck, before looking at me with her big green eyes. I dusted her off while she played with her brown ringlets. She was a spitting image of me, except she didn't inherit my penis nose. (HA!)

"Hurry up dad! I don't want to be late to the party!" Collin yelled back to me, since I was slightly lagging behind with Hailie hanging on my back.

"Don't worry, the party doesn't start till I get there anyway," Hailie called, smirking at her older brother. She was a cheeky little thing. Daddy's little girl, she is.

"Hailie, remember its the twins birthday, you have to be nice, alright?" Alice reminded her. Hailie could be quite stubborn, but she got that from her mother.

"Yes, mommy. I'll be good," Hailie replied, but I could swear I saw a glint of mischief in her eye. That's my girl.
