Harry's P.O.V

"No. I won't allow that." John said the next day while I sat in front of him. I raised an eyebrow

"And why not?" I asked and he narrowed his eyes at me "I think your yesterday's actions speak for itself." He said and I rolled my eyes

"Well, if you can leave your daughter crying just because she misses you for a meeting that happens every year, I'll understand." I said and John turned away from me

"She's too young to realise what's going on around her. That's not the point." He said but I didn't back down

"That's exactly the point. She was crying, not calming down, but she stopped once I returned home. I can't leave her, John. And if she and Tahira can't come on tour with us, I'm not going as well." I said firmly and he glared at me

"If you had aborted her when I told you to this wouldn't be happening!" He said and anger rose within me. I quickly stood up form my chair, causing it to fall back. My hands balled up into fists and John's eyes widened at my behaviour as I glared at him

"You say that again and I won't leave the room without giving you a bleeding nose at the very least. They're coming on tour with us whether you like it or not. And if you try to stop them, you can forget about having me on tour as well." I said and walked out of his office.


"Tahira, is Ameera's passport ready?" I asked once I reached home and Tahira's eyes widened in surprise

"What's wrong, Harry?" She asked and I stopped short. How did she know? I cleared my throat and looked at her

"Why would you say that?" I asked and she pretended to think about it

"I don't know. Maybe you just walked past me without looking at me, or it could be that you've only called me by my name when something serious happens after we got married, or that your hands are turning red from being balled up. You pick." She said and I sighed realising that I couldn't hide it from her and sagged back against the wall. As I did that, a concerned look came on her face and she quickly walked towards me

"What happened, Harry?" She asked and I gave her a sad look

"I asked John if you both could come with me on tour." I started and she took my hands in hers. Opening my fists, she intertwined our fingers, silently urging me to continue. "He said no like expected but then I told him what happened yesterday, and added I won't go on tour if you both can't come..." I trailed off when Tahira gave me a sad smile but I shook my head "He then said we should have aborted Ameera when he told us to." I said quietly and Tahira's smile faded.

"Please tell me you said something to him." She said in a flat tone but I detected the hidden anger in her voice

"I told him that if he ever said that again, I won't leave the room without giving him a bleeding nose at the very least." I said and Tahira cracked a small smile

"I'm glad you did." She said and I slightly raised my eyebrow "You approve?" I asked and she nodded to my surprise

"Of course I do. Ameera is our daughter, Harry. Our first child. John has no right to say if we should abort or keep our child and frankly, I can't even imagine harming our baby much less killing it. It's just wrong. And I would have given him a bloody nose if I was there instead of walking out like you did." She said and I cracked a smile

"Where is she?" I asked and Tahira smiled "Sleeping. You just missed her." She said and I smiled.

"But yes, it just arrived today. Are we going with you?" Tahira asked and it took me a second to realise what she meant and I nodded

"You are. I'm not leaving you both." I said and hugged her tightly.


-One week later-


"Hey, we are called to the studio for some last minute recording. I'll probably be back in a few hours." I told Tahira and she nodded

"Okay." She said and I walked over to her. I placed a kiss on her forehead and then did the same with Ameera, who was asleep in Tahira's arms after just being fed a while ago.

"See you when I get back." I said and she smiled, nodding "See you." She said. Picking up my car keys, I walked out of the house.


"Harry?"

"Hey. Sorry, I'm late. Got stuck in traffic." I said and Julian gave me a confused look but I didn't notice as I looked around the studio "Where are the other lads?" I asked and he just shook his head

"What are you doing here?" He asked and I frowned

"I got a message saying we have some last minute recording to do." I said and that's when Louis entered the studio

"I think you're confused, Haz. I'm the only one left for recording. All of you are done." Louis said and I frowned even more

"But since you're here, I wanted to get the songs checked before giving it to the big guys. You can do that for me while Louis records his verses." Julian said and I nodded

"Okay."

Though it was a little early than usual, the boys and I had decided to write and record the songs for the new album before we went on tour so that we won't be stressed much during it like we did in the past.

We were done in three hours. The songs sounded amazing, and I bet the fans would love it.

"I think that's it. Thanks for this, Harry." Julian said and I smiled "No problem." I said and Julian nodded.

"Hey, Harry, you going back home?" Louis asked and I looked at him and nodded

"Where else would I go?" I asked and he grinned

"I want to meet my goddaughter. It's been a few days since I last saw her." Louis said and I chuckled.

Ever since Ameera was born, Louis had been a frequent visitor in our house. Coming over once a week. At the very least that is.

"Yeah, c'mon. I'll drive."


We discussed things for the new album as we drove. I told Louis about what had happened with John a week ago and even he was ready to help me beat John. He gave out a few colourful words within the sentences too, it made me laugh.

But that laughter ended when we reached the lane to my house.

Cars were covering the lane. A few police cars and an ambulance was there, the lights on the car roofs flashing.

"What on earth?" I asked myself and my eyes widened when I realised they were waiting in front of my house. Panic immediately rose within me and after parking, I quickly got out of the car, Louis following my lead as he also realised what I did. We exchanged looks, fright present on both our faces and we ran towards my house.

I hope they both are okay.
