Harry Styles Imagine

You have to let to, move on

Part 61; (BBQ with all the kids (Emma, Mason, Ryan (Louis' son and Emma's boyfriend), Andy (Liam's son and Harry's godson), Jake -Liam's other son-)

"daaaad?!" Emma's voice rang throughout the house. His sixteen-year-old daughter bounced into the kitchen. She reminded Harry of Hailie everytime he saw her. "yeees?" he smiled. "everyone's here!" she smiled. "great, thanks honey, will you go and help Mason set up the back garden?" she nodded, walking out. Eleanor, Louis, Liam, Danielle, Perrie, Zayn, Niall and Aoife (Niall's girlfriend) walked in and gave Harry a hug. "I'm so sorry that it's today, Harry" Niall said. Harry nodded. "I know" he smiled faintly. "let's not be sad, eh? Let's remember her as she was!" they all nodded, and followed him out to the back garden. "RYAN!!" Emma shrieked, jumping into her boyfriend's arms. Danielle placed a hand on Harry's arm. "play it cool" she said, walking over to sit beside her husband. Harry lit the barbecue, but kept a close eye on his daughter. They walked into the house. "hey, Liam?" Liam looked up from the magazine he was reading. "yeah, Haz?" Harry's heart panged at the familiar nickname, it just reminded him of Hailie. He shook it off. He nodded towards the house. "come help me with something?" Liam nodded, closing the magazine. "do you want anything, babe?" Liam said to Danielle. They had got married in 2020, when Liam was thirty. Besides the birth of his two sons, Andy and Jake, it was the best day of his life. They had done a double wedding with Louis and Eleanor. He remembered that day as he walked into the house after Harry. He remembered Eleanor and Danielle had cried that morning together, because their best friend and supposed-to be- maid of honour wasn't there to help them celebrate. He remembered how he and Louis had included her in their speeches, reducing Harry to tears. "Liam??" Harry alled, snapping Liam out of his train of thought. "yeah?" he stepped inside the house. "what?" Liam walked into the hall, and Harry pulled him to the side. "Ryan and Emma just ran upstairs together" Liam shrugged. "and?" Harry raised his eyebrows. "Harry, there's no need to be so over protective. Emma's smart. She knows you'll kill Ryan if anything happens" Harry nodded. "I'm still going up" he made for the stairs, but Liam pulled him back. "you have to trust her" Harry sighed, agreeing to what Liam had said. "alright.. C'mon, let's get drinks" Liam smiled. "good. C'mon" they walked to the kitchen, and after getting the drinks, rejoined the party outside.

"it's kinda crazy, right?" Perrie said as she leaned on Zayn's shoulder, her engagement ring glinting in the light of the fire. "what's crazy, Aunt Perrie?" Emma said. She was wrapped up in a blanket with Ryan in front of the fire, under the watchful eye of her father. "well, we have so much to toast tonight" everyone thought about it, but were still confused. They looked at her again. "we'll, today three years ago, you guys split up. Today sixteen years ago, we lost our sister. Today sixteen years ago, you guys took your first steps" she looked at Emma and Mason. "I miss Mam" Mason said suddenly. Everyone looked at him. "I know it's not really possible, but I do. I mean, she was our mother, still is. We never really got to know her properly, but from what Dad tells me, she was amazing" Emma buried her face in Ryan's chest, crying. She missed her mother too. Harry's eyes glazed over. He looked up at the sky. "I wish we could bring her back, guys. I really do.. But she was my angel, and up there, she's looking down on us, protecting us" he spoke the next bit in only a whisper, so that only Hailie could hear. "I miss you baby, I never got over your death.. I love you"

All the adults sat together around the fire. They looked at their kids. Emma and Ryan were standing at the corner, Ryan hugging Emma. Mason was playing baseball with Andy, Ryan and Jake. Niall's son was sitting on the curb alone. Andy tugged on his sleeve. "yeah?" he said in his low voice. He sounded just like Niall, Aoife thought. "come play baseball with us!" he nodded, and got up. Emma broke from Ryan's grasp, and ran over to her dad. "okay, sweetheart?" she nodded. "will you sing a song? All of you, a One Direction song. Please?" she pleaded at her uncles and her father. They nodded, and Niall grabbed his guitar. Gathering all the kids round the fire, they began to sing. "this one's for Hailie. We miss you, girl" Niall said, then began strumming.
