Harry made a pit stop at his mother's place after finishing up at the studio. Today was the day Ahmir was coming to stay with them.  Today was the day their old life would bleed into his new happy life. 

He was worried about how things would change as other people and aspects of their old lives would start invading his life.  Would he get lost in the shuffle again? 


 "I can watch the baby T," Ahmir insisted.

 Marian gave her daughter a look before placing her in the bouncer seat. "Okay, I will just be in the kitchen making dinner for all of us. Uncle Harry should be home soon."

Harry pulled into his garage and thought about what his mother had told him. She always gave him good counsel.   One day at a time and don't expect the worst.  "Marian, I'm home."

"She's making dinner," Ahmir said. 

"Nice to see you again Ahmir," Harry said as he noticed his young daughter was left alone in the living room with just Ahmir. "I'm just going to go check on Auntie." 

"So I see that Ahmir is here and you already have him watching our baby," Harry said with a roll of his eyes. "Who dropped him off, Tricia?" 

"What does that mean?" Marian asked as she set the table. 

"It means he is a child himself and I don't feel comfortable with him watching my daughter. She is only a baby and can't even cry out for help if something happens."

 Marian shook her head at him. "She is fine.  Ahmir is an excellent helper and he offered. I trust him.  He helps Kaia with Karim all the time."

"Well I don't."

"Ma."

"Did you hear that she is fine and can scream for help if she needs it." Marian said.

"Is something wrong?" Ahmir wondered as he cames into the kitchen. 

"Dinner is almost ready and I just wanted to make sure that Faith was still awake," Marian said to him. "I will call you when dinner is ready."

 Ahmir gave Harry the evil eye on his way out.

"When is Tricia coming to pick him up for a visit?" He asked. 

"I have no idea. I need to call her tomorrow so we can set up a time to show Ahmir his new school and work out his schedule." 

"Wait, if Tricia didn't drop him off then who did?"

 "Louis was in California and Zayn asked him to escort Ahmir home to England," she said unable to look at her husband in the face. 

"Lou.." He stuttered.

 "Yes, the two of them have grown close so he said he didn't mind." 

She began to plate their dinner as she spoke. 

"You have to be fucking kidding me!" Harry ran his hands through his hair. 

"I don't see why you are having a cow over this," she said handing him a beer then leaving the kitchen before he could have a cow over Louis being in the house. 

"Dinner time," she said and picked Faith up. 

"Is Harry mad that I am here?'

"Uncle Harry just doesn't like sharing. Give him a day or two and he will be fine. He just needs time to adjust and stop being a baby."

 "Okay, what are we having for dinner?" Ahmir asked. 

"I made my special spaghetti dish for you."
