Skylars PoV

"Alright Skylar, you are all set to go home whenever you are ready." The doctor says. I thank her and she leaves the room. I look around and see that everyone is still sleeping. Michael, Calum, Cole and Wes aren't here so I'm assuming they went home. Harry and Ashton are sleeping on the couch while Luke is sitting in the chair with Melody on his lap. I smile at the sight but frown at a realization. What is going to happen now? I mean, if we are staying here in LA, Luke is going to be around A LOT. Ugh. I don't know what to expect.

"I don't know how many times I'm going to have to tell you to stop thinking." I jump slightly at the voice and look at Luke who is now awake.
"What's on your mind?" I shrug.

"I just don't feel like I'm making the right decision moving here."

"Why?"

"I don't know. I just never felt like I belonged here."

"But you do. You're just scared because it didn't work out the first time."

"I was too busy thinking about my self that I didn't think about how me leaving was affecting you guys." Luke sighs.

"I'm not going to lie. It was horrible without you here. When you didn't come back, we weren't sure if you were okay, or if Ashton knew anything. It was hard."

"I'm sorry."

"You don't need to be sorry, you're here now and I for one am never letting you leave ever again."

"This is all so much."

"Why were you scared to see me?"

"It wasn't just you. I was scared to see anyone. It's kinda weird to just show up after not talking for 4 years. I thought everyone would hate me."

"We could never hate you. You know what? It doesn't matter anymore. You're here now and that's all that matters." I smile and hear a low groan. I roll my eyes and look at Harry who is slowly but surely waking up.

"Why are you guys awake?" He groans sleepily.

"It's noon Harry. The sooner you guys wake up, the sooner I can get out of here."

"Can we get food?"

"Yes now wake up." He slowly opens his eyes and stretches as I stand up and walk to Ashton. I bend down and gently shake him until he wakes up.

"Oh! I have another question," Luke says and I look at him.
"Why didn't you tell Melody I'm her dad?"

"I wasn't sure if she was ever going to meet you. She only saw You're music videos and I dint want her only reference to her father to be a YouTube video."

"Did she ever ask?"

"No. She has asked if she has a dad and I said yes but other than that, she doesn't really care."

"When are you going to tell her?"

"Eventually." Is all I say before walking into the bathroom in the room. I brush my hair with my fingers until it looks presentable. Then I put on my shoes and look to see everyone else all ready. Melody is still asleep on Luke's lap. I walk over to them and bend down. I place my hand on Luke's knee for stabilization and rub the sleeping girls back. She begins to turn and her eyes open slowly.
"Mel, it's time to wake up."

"Are we going home today?" She asks rubbing her eyes.

"We're going back to Uncle Mikey's for now. Okay?" She nods and reaches her arms out for me to hold her. I pick her up and hold her in my hip while she nuzzles her head in the crook of my neck. I stand back up and look around to make sure no one is forgetting anything. Once I'm sure, we all walk out of the room and to the front desk. I tell them my name and that I'm checking out.

"Okay Miss Irwin, we just need you to sign your name right here. This just states that you are giving us permission to release you, and I also am required to ask if you have a stable living arrangement. I understand you are in the middle of moving."

"Uh," I say looking at the boys. I don't know what to say so Ashton speaks up.

"Yes, I'm her brother, she will stay with me." He says with a smile and I sign the paper. The lady nods and says goodbye to us as we walk out to the parking lot. We all pile in Luke's car and he drives away from the hospital and to a breakfast diner. We got a booth for all five of us and we sat down. Mel sat in between Harry and I and Luke and Ashton sat across from us. We ordered our food and talked before Melody pointed something out on the tv.

"Hey! Look it's Harry and Mommy!" She says pointing at a screen. We all look at the screen in shock. The same headline has been going on for three days since I got here. It was 'Harry Styles and Skylar Irwin return to America after four years.' They are so convinced Harry and I are dating and Mel is our daughter. The reporter began talking about the picture on the screen.

"It has been three days and we still haven't heard anything about singer Harry Styles and his girlfriend Skylar Irwin back in America. We haven't seen them since the spotting at the 5 Seconds Of Summer concert and we haven't heard anything about Skylar's daughter. It has been rumored that Harry is the father but nothing has been confirmed about the four year old's relation to Harry." I roll my eyes and look at Luke who also looks pissed.

"Harry, why are they saying you're my dad?" Mel asks innocently. Harry pulls her onto his lap.

"I don't know Mel. They are just silly."

"Well, are you my dad?" I choke on the water I was drinking. Since when does she ask questions about this!

"No, I'm just your friend." He replies simply. I relax thinking that she was done being curious.

"Then who is my dad?" Harry looks at me as if asking me for help.

"Sweetie. Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"she shrugs.

"I don't know. I'm just curious. Do I know my dad?"

"Yes. And I haven to know that you like him very much."

"BUT I LIKE EVERYONE VERY MUCH!" She says throwing her arms in the air making all of us laugh.

"Well remember, you look like a combination of your mommy and your daddy. You don't look like Harry do you?"

"No. So my dad looks like me?"I nod. She makes a 'thinking' look. Let's see how oblivious she is. Just like Luke.
"So he has hair like mine?" She asks playing with her hair. I nod and she looks around before pointing at Luke.
"You have hair like me." She says standing up from Harry's lap and jumping on Luke's before playing with his hair.
"Are you my dad?" Luke looks at me as if he was asking if it was okay. I smile a little and nod. Luke's face lights up and he looks at Melody. 

"Yes I am." He says proudly. Melody smiles and gives him a hug.

"I knew you were my favorite!" She says before pulling away.

"Hey!" Ashton yells.
