Love Is Possible.

Chapter Eight: Welcome Home.

 "Momma! Momma-wake up!" I groaned in my sleep, but my eyelids slowly opened to see my beautiful daughter jumping on the side of the bed which was empty-always has been empty. I sleep in the room that Harry and I once shared... Alone.

"Good morning, buba. What's wrong?" I yawned, rubbing my arms tiredly.

"Daddy's on the floor!" she announced and I sat up abruptly alarmed by her words. Is he hurt? Did he faint?! Where is he?! But the sound of his loud snores reassured me... He was on the opposite side of the bed... On the carpet, why?!

I got up and bent down beside him, shaking him until one eyelid slowly peeked open and he yawned, "yeah?"

"Why are you on the floor?" I questioned him.

He yawned once more, stretching his arms out, "uhh. I didn't want you to get freaked out by having someone you're not used to having in your bed, like it's been three years so.. yanno..."

"You're an idiot. Just go sleep on the bed alright? Jeez." I rolled my eyes and kissed his temple before turning to my daughter who was laughing at her stupid father.

"C'mon sweetie, let's go get you some breakfast." I reach for her hand but she shakes her head at me.

"Nuh uh, momma. Uncle Ni makes me food downstairs!" And then she ran off. Okay. Yay for Niall! Extra time for me to sleep, wopee.

Harry wasn't sleeping when I climbed back under the covers-he was fully awake, as was I. He wrapped his arm around my waist and brought me closer to his chest, holding me so he is shielding me from the world like he used to.

"I love you, baby." He nuzzled his nose against mines and I giggled childishly.

"I love you, Harold."

"What do you want to do today, Al?" I ruffled the angelic girl's curls and she smiled widely at me, showing me the milk teeth which were pushing through.

"Eat!"

"This is why you're my god daughter!" I grinned at her, blowing a raspberry in her stomach as I tickled her sides and I lifted her up in the air so she was now an 'aeroplane'. She is my favourite kid in the whole wide world. Maybe I'll love her even more then my own kid! She's set the standard bar high!

"Uncle Ni?"

"Yeah, love?" I sit down next to her on the soft fur rug on top of the carpet with my legs crossed.

"Do you have a girliefriend?"

"Um. Not at the minute, no.." I frown slightly thinking about my current love life. I had a girlfriend, but she was only dating me because of my wealth and my status-that was it.

I guess now that one direction have split up, I can find a girl that likes me for me.

"Why not?" she questions me, me with a little frown as she sees me frowning at the thought. No no, you don't ever wear a frown-it doesn't suit you!

"Because you're my girliefriend." I winked at her and she giggled loudly.

"You are silly uncle ni, but i like silly people. Love you!" she crawled onto my lap to kiss my cheek and I smiled.

"Love you too Alyssa." I kissed her soft cheek back and she giggled again, running around the living room with a barbie doll in her hand.

After about an hour of extra sleep, I couldn't stay in bed for any longer. The worry of Alyssa was keeping me up and making me want to run down the stairs just to make sure she was alright. Harry could sense my tension so he pulled me to his arms, into a protective cuddle. "It's okay, Lexi. Just breathe." and I did exactly what he said, because that is the sort of effect he has on me.

"Do you think I made the right decision about 1D? I don't want to regret this forever.  " Harry asked me in a timid voice and I was so close to pinching his cheek because he sounded like a small boy.

"My opinion doesn't matter. It was your choice and your friends all agreed with you. If they all think it was the right choice, then it was the right choice." I push back some old curls that are now long waves that are usually held back by a bandana. I need to persuade him to get a hair cut, because this is crazy! It'll soon be longer then my hair!

"Your opinion always matters to me, baby. You're my second half. I honestly couldn't care less about what others think if you didn't think a thing was right, or wrong. I will always side with you." Harry nuzzled his large nose onto my smaller one and I smiled contently.

"I've really missed you, Harry. Life has been hard without you." I sighed, looking down at the soft purple covers of the bed we've always shared.

Harry used a long finger to tilt my head up so both our eyes were locked now, "hey. I'm here now and I won't ever leave unless you want me to. I love you, and that won't ever change, Alexis Skyla Styles." he winked at me, and I laughed. He could make me feel so happy and complete in just a matter of seconds.

Will this be what life would be like for the rest of our lives?

One can only hope.
