HARRY

Home sweet home. It's good to be back to a familiar place after months of touring around the world. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do. But sometimes, I prefer to be in a familiar place with my loved ones just so I can have a breather ever once in a while.

As soon as tour was over, we -Alexandra, Scarlett, and I- flew to L.A. to spend some time with friends, I also had a few things to cover, before we were on a flight back to England.

I had just gotten out of the shower, having just woken up, when Scarlett's tiny giggles sounded through the baby monitor we had on the master bathroom's sink.

Smiling fondly to myself, I was quick to slip into my boxers and sweatpants, before making my way out of Alex and I's room and walking into my daughter's nursery.

"And what have we got here, Ms. Styles? Have you been talking to Bubba all this time, hmm?" I chuckled, dimples deepening into my cheeks as I smiled down at my baby girl.

"Dahey!" Scarlett shrieked, standing on wobbly legs and grasping onto the bars of her crib. Bubba sat at my feet, wagging his tail excitedly.

"That's me, angel. What can Daddy help you with this fine morning?" I joked, leaning down to pick her up and sit her on my hip.

"Daddy's going to change your diaper and get you into nice clothes because we're going to do fun things today, just the two of us. Mummy's gone out to do some boring stuff with Abu, so that leaves us two to do whatever we want. Sounds good?" I announced, though I was highly aware my girl didn't have a clue as to what I was saying.

"Dahey!" Scarlett grinned cheekily. Shaking my head softly, I placed a round of kisses on her chestnut coloured hair.

"I'll take that as a yes."

Our first stop of the day was at Louis' flat. We had set up the day so that the babies could play with one another for a few hours before we went out for some lunch.

"Hi baby girl! Uncle Louis missed you terribly." Louis cooed to a babbling Scarlett. Chuckling at my mate and daughter, I quietly made my way through the flat, until I caught sight of Freddie Reign playing with his toys in his playroom.

"Hi Little Tommo. Can I get a hug?" I laughed softly, causing the little boy to smile mischievously before toddling into my arms and kissing my nose.

"You've gotten so big since the last time I saw you. What is Daddy giving you to eat?" I teased just as Louis walked in with Scarlett; my baby girl giggling to her hearts content.

"I heard you, Harold." Louis scoffed, sitting down on the floor, letting Scarlett stand on shaky legs; contemplating on what to do next.

She's been walking on her own for a couple of months now. She's not mastered it completely, but she's getting there. Alexandra and I couldn't be prouder of our tiny girl; this goes without saying that we both bawled like babies the first time we saw her take her first few steps.

"How's it been, mate?" Louis grinned, holding Scarlett around her tiny waist when my baby girl grasped onto his cheeks, cooing to herself.

"It's been incredible, really. Can't really ask for more." I smiled warmly, watching as Scarlett tried -and failed- to pry her uncle's lips open with her tiny fingers.

Laughing quietly, Louis pretended to bite at my girl's fingers, causing her to squeal in delight.

"What about you? What have you and Little Tommo gotten up to?" I questioned, tearing my attention away from my daughter to look down at my nephew who was sat on my lap, playing with the many rings on my fingers.

"Like yourself, everything's going amazing. Thankfully, we're done with court visits and I officially have complete custody of him. Obviously, Briana will get her fair share of time with him. Other than that, I've got him completely. And if I'm being quite honest here, I've never been more relieved. I'd much rather have him all the time with me than halfway across the world." Louis breathed out, staring fondly at Freddie. The little boy had managed to take off one of my rings and was now trying to place it on his own tiny finger, huffing cutely when it fell off.

"I'm very happy to hear that, Louis. I'm glad you'll be able to have this little lad with you completely. Now Scarlett can have regular play dates with her cousin. It's also a good thing they're only a few months a part, yeah?" I beamed, kissing Freddie's forehead when the little boy turned around in my arms, a cheeky smile on his lips.

As Louis and I spent a few hours catching up on lost time, we let the babies play with the toys that were scattered around Freddie's playroom. It wasn't until both babies began to whine, did we decide to head out for some late lunch.

"Did you have a good day today, baby?" I crooned as I washed out the baby shampoo out of Scarlett's fine hair.

"Dahey, gog!" She beamed, handing me her bath time toy. Chuckling adoringly at my baby girl, I gently took the toy from her tiny hands.

"That's not a dog, angel. That's a fish. Can you say fish?" I muttered, running my fingers through the tiny curls that form at the bottom of her hair.

Staring up at me as if I grew two heads, Scarlett quite literally huffed.

"No, Dahey."

I swear, sometimes I feel like she understands what I say to her and she just can't be bothered to put up with me.

"You're such a little sassy monkey." I scowled playfully, leaning forward to kiss her chubby cheek noisily.

Stretching my body from its previous bent down position, I grabbed Scarlett's baby towel and proceeded to get her out of the cool water and into the warm, fluffy towel.

"Alright baby girl, let's go ahead and get you ready for bed time, yeah?" I crooned, walking into Scarlett's nursery and laying her on her changing table.

Because it was a bit chilly -thanks to the central air- I dressed Scarlett in her grey onesie that had tiny elephants all over it. She looked awfully precious in it; so what if I took a thousand pictures of her before placing her in her crib? Nobody had to know that.

"Daddy had so much fun with you today, angel. I hope you enjoyed yourself as well. Now it's bed time. Daddy loves you to the end of earth and back, baby girl. Sleep tight, my love." I murmured as I tucked my little girl in for the night, making sure to have covered her up good.

"Dahey," Scarlett cooed sleepily, tiny hand latching onto my index finger, causing a smile to break out across my lips.

"Daddy loves you so much, Scarlett."
