A month later

"What's that?" Jeffrey suddenly asked, peering over Harry's laptop. Harry immediately minimise his laptop screen, not wanting his manager to find out what he's been doing.

"I bet it's porn," Liam came out of Harry's kitchen and plop down on the couch beside Harry, acting as though this is his house.

"Who's watching porn?" Niall who was laying on the floor sat up, at the mention of it.

"Do you want to watch porn?" Jeffrey asked Niall.

"No one's watching it," Harry defended, shoving a pillow at Niall who accidentally drooled on Harry's carpet. "Stop making a mess of my house."

"You don't have a problem with Bear and Freddie drawing on your walls," Liam pointed at the two children who were being chaperoned by Louis.

"They what?!" Harry's eyes darted towards where the two toddlers are, a bright-coloured crayon in each of their grips as they decorate Harry's cream-coloured wall. Louis wasn't stopping them but instead, encouraged the two to hone their creativity skill. Drawing skills my ass.

"What the hell, Louis?!" He reprimanded the older man as Louis just shrug nonchalantly.

Harry massage the temple of his head, feeling a headache coming. "I swear to God, this is the last time I'm offering you guys to come to my house."

"Oh come on, you love it when we are here. You'll be lonely alone," Liam retorted while chewing an apple, causing him to drool. Harry scoffed in disgust, wondering how he's even a father.

"Is that why you're looking for a new place?" 

Jeffrey had taken Harry's laptop away from his lap, and the younger man did not realise it as he was busy talking to his bandmates.

"What? How did you- give me that!" He reached out to take back his property but his manager moved and sat beside Liam instead. Curious, Liam decided to peer at the laptop too.

"Why the hell are you looking for a new place? You literally own this huge mansion and the two other houses just down the street," Louis pointed out as he joined Freddie in writing 'One Direction' on the wall.

"I'm looking for somewhere cosy, maybe near a park or a school so-, Louis, stop drawing on my wall!" Harry stood up and walked to where the three vandaliser are. "I'm taking this away," he snatched the crayon out of Louis' hand and pulled the two children to the living room where he originally was at. Harry then pulled two notebooks out and placed it in front of the children. "Here, draw in here, alright?" He ruffled his nephews' hair and went back to claim his seat on the couch, now Louis joining him.

"I'm thinking of selling this house. It's too quiet, especially at night," Harry reasoned. "There's a penthouse I've just bought, right in the city of London. Four-bedded penthouse, complete with a swimming pool and deck all. It's near a private school too."

Everyone's ears perked up at the mention of school.

"School?" Niall asked. "Holy shit, you're proposing to Jade?!" He screeched, as the others joined too. Bear Payne and Freddie Tomlinson stared at their fathers and uncles as though they have grown a second head.

"Guys, chill! I'm not proposing to her, at least not yet. I'm thinking of asking her to move in with me," Harry started blushing at the thought of Jade.

"Penthouse is a good idea. We all know how Jade refuses to live in big houses," Liam agreed.

"Have you asked her?" Louis questioned.
