It had been so long since Zayn had allowed himself to be loved. And, with Harry's arrival, everything had changed. Not only was he loved, he loved too.
Harry, on the other hand, always tried to understand and feel love. Every time he thought he had found it, he would soon realize it was only an illusion. Zayn had shown him the real meaning of love, and Harry could have sworn that it was the best feeling he had ever felt in his life.
The night was filled with romantic music and champagne. Zayn's room had never looked so beautiful in Harry's eyes.
That night Harry slept in the actor's bed, his head resting on Zayn's chest, the sound of his heart as his lullaby.
"Good morning." Harry said when he saw Zayn open his eyes. Happiness could be seen all over his face.
"Good Morning." Zayn pecked his lips. "You look even better when you smile."
"I have made your favorite pancakes." Harry said as he pulled the blanket off the actor.
"I'd rather be here with you." Zayn was pulling Harry’s arm, trying to get Harry to come back to bed with him.
"Zayn, come on, get up." Harry said, trying to pry off Zayn’s hands that were tightly gripping him around the waist. "I've already woken Emma, we cannot let her have breakfast alone."
"You're right." Zayn got up quickly and put on his T-shirt. “The Malik family have to be gathered at the table." Zayn hugged Harry to smell his morning scent.
"I hope I'm a part of the family too." Harry held Zayn’s face, giving him one of his seductive kisses.
"This family does not exist without you anymore, Harry." Zayn said earnestly. As for Harry, there was nothing else needed to be asked of the heavens. On the contrary, he just needed to thank the heavens.

"You guys look very happy." Emma told them. They could not hide their happiness.
"And, you're a very smart little girl." Zayn said putting his daughter onto his lap. "You know, Emma, I want to apologize."
"Why, dad?" Emma asked. Harry looked at them as he ate his strawberry pancakes with chocolate.
"I was a very absent father. I stopped spending time with you. You are a beautiful child and I couldn’t take you anywhere or let you live your childhood. I didn’t realize that I was completely lost in my own world and I ended up locking you out. But I promise you things will be different from now, okay?" Zayn kissed her on the top of the head. "Can you forgive me, my love?"
"You don’t have to apologize, dad. I love you." Emma said climbing out of Zayn's lap and hugging him. "You're the best dad in the world, you were just sad." Holding her father’s face in her little hands, Emma continued, "Instead of apologizing to me, I think you should thank Harry." Zayn gave Emma a big smile, he was a very proud father. His daughter was a totally intelligent and observant child, this she inherited from him.
"Once again you're right." Zayn got up and pulled Emma into his lap again. "Let's thank him. Harry, thank you for coming in our life and agreeing to be a part of our family." Zayn said as he kissed Harry on the cheek. Emma did the same, jumping in Harry's arms. Harry was silently crying with happiness. They were his family.
"I love you so much." Emma wiped the tears from Harry's face.
"Now let’s pack up. We're leaving." Emma glanced quickly at her father who was smiling seeing the surprised look on their faces.
"Where are we going?" Harry asked.
"Disneyland." Zayn told them and waited for their reactions. Harry jumped with Emma in his arms, and for a moment, he looked more excited than she.
"Yaaayyy!" Emma squealed, hurrying off to her room. She wanted to pack the best princess dress she owned.
"You are wonderful." Harry walked up to him and kissed his lips.
"Go get changed. I'll call Louis to see if he wants to come with us."
Louis was too busy to spend his time in fantasy world, that's what he told Zayn. It was not true at all, the truth was that Louis was completely happy for his best friend and wanted them to spend time together. Louis was proud that Zayn had finally wanted to leave the mansion of his own free will, without being driven out by him or Harry.
Emma liked every places with princes and princesses, she loved fairytales.
Harry felt as if he was living in one. He, the poor boy who had found the rich prince of Los Angeles. Beauty and the Beast used to be his favorite fairytale, but he had replaced it. His story was his new favorite fairytale.
"Thank you for getting me out of the dark." Zayn whispered in Harry's ear. Emma was entertaining herself with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs movie.
"You're welcome." Harry whispered back to him. "But you and I in the dark is not a bad idea, don’t you think?" Harry whispered and bit the actor's ear lobe slightly, making Zayn shiver.
"That kind of darkness with you is totally acceptable." Zayn said softly and smiled.
Zayn took his cell phone out and took some pictures of his daughter. Emma was so happy. Zayn looked from his daughter, who was amusing herself with Snow White movie, to Harry who was looking at her.
For a little while, Zayn felt guilty for all the happiness he was feeling, guilty for not thinking of Alison anymore.
But he put that thought aside because his ex-wife, wherever she might be, would want him to be happy.
"What was black and white has become colorful. This is just the beginning of our story." Zayn tweeted to his 38 million followers who were still following him even though he had been inactive on Twitter for the last 2 years.
Zayn put away his cell phone. Without even realizing it, his hand reached for Harry's hand. Harry smiled, Zayn smiled back, noticing their interlocked hands.
Suddenly, Zayn remembered the green eyes of his dreams—it was Harry's eyes. How had he not noticed it before? They were not just ironies of love, it was fate.
