Y/N was an angry crier. It was something that she hated in herself, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t rid herself of her tears when she got so angry. She tried just about everything and the thought of it herself brought her to tears. She felt pathetic when it came to having to express her anger, because it constantly ended in her blabbers and facefull of tears. She didn’t want the people she was angry towards to simply respond to her in pity forgiveness. She wanted her point to be made, to be heard, and for her emotions to be heard. But the only emotion she seemed to be able to project was weakness when she was constantly falling into tears at her frustration. She wasn’t one to get mad at everything, so she wasn’t constantly in tears. But when she did get mad she couldn’t hold it in, and it all poured out in flat out sobs.
She wasn’t one for confrontation, so her anger wasn’t something everyone faced. In fact she hated confrontation and avoided it as much as she could, but at times confrontation simply came to her and her expression of anger easily came onto her. She assumed everyone saw her as a vulnerable weak human who couldn’t tolerate anything, and that was possibly one the reasons she so strongly despised and pity herself. She deemed it a problem for people to pity her and for her to be resented and she oftentimes felt the same thing for herself.
Other than that, Y/N lived a happy life, and she was at a place where she was happy with herself. But she had her now 7 month boyfriend to credit her happiness for, Harry. Harry took over Y/N’s entire world so quickly and easily. He made everything a breeze for her, and everything seemed so peaceful when she was with him. They fell into a quick easy love that only made them be glued to each other at every given moment. They were constantly watching movies at either her home, Harry’s home, or simply going out to dinner together for simple date nights. She loved him and everything about him, in fact even if it had only been seven months she thought he was the one for her. And Harry sure as hell knew that she was the one for him.
Despite their love and happiness streak for seven months, there was bound to be a point where they wouldn’t be all happy and loving to each other. Which brings them to the screaming match they were currently in, all because Harry had accidentally stood Y/N up on their weekly scheduled date nights. Of course the argument shouldn’t have escalated as far as it was, but it did, and maybe that was because they were so consumed in their love and happiness they never took into account that relationships don’t constantly run smoothly and they were bound to be bumps in the road, and they had just hit a bump for themselves. They would get over it eventually, but for now the screaming match seemed to go on and on.
“You’re reacting as if I constantly miss our dinners Y/N! It’s not that serious.” Harry was shooting a mean stare at the love of his life right in front of him. He was feeling pure anger on how Y/N was easily attacking him for missing one single date out of the plenty they had coming up and many they had in the past. But it wasn’t just a dinner, this was the dinner Y/N had planned for Harry to meet her friends. They had been dating for seven months and they were both so busy in their lives that Harry had never even managed to meet Y/N’s friends. Sure he had met her family, but he hadn’t met Y/N’s friends even though she had already met his friends and family and everyone he had ever been associated with.
Y/N wasn’t to blame for feeling so hurt over Harry missing the planned dinner where he was supposed to meet her small number of friends. It would only have been 3 other people, her and Harry, and being stood up by him on that dinner out of three people she valued the most in her life hurt. “Harry, that dinner was important to me. You stood me up in front of my friends!” She exclaimed looking at him, feeling the anger slowly coursing over her. She refused to acknowledge her anger knowing that the tears would come quickly and next if she let her anger get to her. “Do you know how embarrassing it is to have been talking about dating the perfect guy for seven months to your best friends and then have the dude not even show up! They all think I’m fucking delusional or something now!”
“Is that all you care about really Y/N? Are you just boasting and talking about me to show off you’re not alone anymore?” Harry truly didn’t mean to miss the dinner intentionally, it had slipped his mind with everything going on in his head and in the studio. He missed the dinner by accident, but he couldn’t seem to put his intentions into words and only the cruelest of words were coming out of him. Of course he didn’t mean anything he was saying but he had so much going on and Harry needed to let out his held back emotions, and he let them out right onto Y/N.
When the words came out of Harry’s mouth and went into Y/N’s ears she immediately felt more hurt by the entire situation. That’s when she let her anger finally get to her. “Harry If I really wanted to show off I would have blasted us on social media! I just wanted you to be there, it wasn’t much to ask for, and yet you didn’t show.” She groaned as she ran a hand down her face in frustration, not knowing what else to say at this point to not end up with tears down her face.
“I can’t have my entire life revolving around you!” Harry shook his head scoffing, “I missed one dinner, you’re overreacting. Just reschedule the damn dinner if it’s so important!” He began to walk away from their arguing spot near the doorway and made his way towards Y/N’s couch where he hoped their argument would end.
Hearing his words only frustrated Y/N more. Her friends didn’t have any other time to meet her beloved boyfriend, and she didn’t have the time either, much less would Harry. She was hurt that he didn't see how important it was for him to meet her friends. How important it was for him to just act as if he cared. “You don’t get it!” Y/N felt the tears come to her eyes, “I know everyone around you. We get to be around your people all the time but what about when I want us to hang out with my people? You don’t even know them!” She brushed her hand over her eyes, looking up at the ceiling avoiding the tears that were about to fall down her face.
“I don’t know them because I don’t have the time! I’m not an asshole who doesn’t care for the people in my girlfriend's life. You’re being dramatic Y/N” He sighed as he took a seat onto her couch, “Just let it go.”
“Well right now Harry you are being an asshole” Y/N let the tears fall down her face. She was mad and Harry failed to understand her and it only angered her to another extent. “Let it go” She scoffed letting her tears fall as she went up the stairs in her home wanting to be in the safety of her room. Maybe she was blowing things out of proportion, but she knew it was still messed up for Harry to leave her and her friends waiting for him. He could at least send a text or call telling her how he wasn’t going to make it last minute, but he failed to do so, and that’s what annoyed her even more aside from his words. How he didn’t care or seem to understand the problem within leaving her alone with dinner with her friends. Her friends were the special people she wanted to meet the current love of her life, the man that meant so much to her she talked about him endlessly, but he never showed it filled her with embarrassment.
Harry watched Y/N go up the stairs of her home sighing sadly to himself when he took a moment and processed how careless and rude he had been with her. It wasn’t as if he didn’t care, he truly did but it had genuinely simply slipped his mind. He had too much going on with writing a new album and having constant schedule changes in interviews, that the dinner had left his mind. He would have never intentionally stood Y/N up, especially when he knew how much her friends had helped her and meant in her life.
It wasn’t until he had 5 minutes to himself sat on the couch that he realized how much of an asshole he had truly been. He gave himself another few minutes before he was finally making his way up the stairs of Y/N’s home and knocking on her bedroom door.
“Y/N,” He let out a breath with nerves racking through him “Honey, can I come in?” He let out in the softest tone his voice could ever reach. He felt bad, and he knew that Y/N would be crying if she truly was angry, he knew her, and he wanted her to forgive him. Even more, he wanted to hold her and be there for her.
“Leave me alone Harry” , Harry heard the voice of his love tearfully speak and he only began to feel even more terrible.
“Honey, let me fix this” He let out from behind the door “I was an asshole I know” He sighed before he soft sounds of Y/N’s footsteps surely getting up and opening the door to her room, just a few moments later the now red eyed girl was right in front of Harry’s view. “Oh my love” Harry let out taking her right into his arms. “I’m so sorry” He whispered to her, guiding them both back into her bed.
“I just wanted you to show up to the dinner” Y/N looked up at Harry from their spot laying on her bed. Harry had led them both to be laying on their bed, in a position where Y/N was on top of him, and Harry was under with his arms fully around her holding her. “I wanted you to meet the people that are special to me to meet the new special person in my life” More tears were falling from Y/N’s eyes at this point.
“I know darling” Harry began to brush the tears that were falling from her eyes with his thumbs, “There was so much going on in the studio today, and it just slipped my mind” He let out, “But that doesn’t mean I have the right to keep you hanging. I’m sorry for not showing up” Y/N answered him with silence, so Harry simply kept speaking, “I didn’t mean to say the things I did” He looked right into Y/N’s eyes, “I think I might have taken my anger and all the emotions I have been holding back out all on you. Just because it seemed like the opportunity to, and everything I’ve been holding back came out there” Before he could continue talking he was interrupted by Y/N’s sweet voice.
“But that’s not fair for me” Y/N was still crying because of all her anger in her. “I was just telling you how I felt, and you came onto me saying I was being overdramatic!” She was beginning to work herself up again, but Harry stopped her.
“Take a breath for me baby” Harry guided her through a deep breath in and out. “I know it wasn’t fair to you at all. You have every right to be hurt, I bailed on you and never even told you, then I came and attacked you for it instead of talking it out and letting you attack me for standing you and your friends up. I don’t want you to think I don’t want to meet your wonderful friends, I do, I just got caught up in the studio today, and it totally slipped my mind that it was today, or else I would have been there Honey.”
“So you do want to meet them?” Y/N quietly said looking up at Harry, if anything out of the entire situation she felt the way Harry was coming off and everything he was saying to her was because he didn’t care.
“Of course I want to meet them!” Harry smiled at his beautiful girl, she was the prettiest human on the planet and his face could only light up when he saw her. “Those are the people that helped my girl when I wasn’t around, the ones that watched my girl become the prettiest lady ever. Of course I want to meet them” Harry began to tickle Y/N’s sides hoping that it would brighten her mood up after he had brought her mood down.
And thankfully he began to hear the light giggles come out of Y/N and his smile grew even bigger at the noise, he wanted to make her happy any and every day.
“Harry” She said between giggles, “Stop” she lightly tried to move Harry’s hands away from her sides, and only falling to the side of Harry in the process, where Harry quickly turned his body so he can be face to face with her, and laced his hand with hers as soon as she had caught her breath from all the giggles she had let out.
“I’m really sorry about not showing up” He brought their laced hands up to his lips and kissed her hand softly, “I didn’t mean anything that I said, I’m sorry baby”
Y/N scooted her body close to him so her head was now almost pushed into his neck where she found soft and warm comfort from her lover. “It’s okay, as long as you promise to show up next time”
Harry looked at her and found the softest most loving pair of eyes piercing into his own, and he fell in love even harder and faster. “I’ll be there next time and the time after that and every other time, I promise” He kissed her laced hand with his, “I love you” He reminded her.
“I love you” Y/N repeated looking right into Harry’s eyes.

Being a college counselor was not the easiest job.Y/N assumed she was better off being a professor than a counselor. She had to deal with multiple moody demanding teens and adults all day from 8 am to 4 pm, and it was exhausting. She tried her best to give them all the path to success, the outlook to where they want to be and where they shouldn’t be, but god each day it was as if the college students grew in attitude and demand.
There were days where she would arrive at her shared home with Harry and their little cat, Tulip, in full tears, exhausted over what she had heard and had to do for every student over the day. Each day she had to meet with at least 2 students that would end up cursing at her over the few years of courses they had yet to take to graduate, or over them not knowing they needed to take specific courses for their majors. But always by the end of her work day she was welcomed home with Tulip, and on what had recently been some lucky days, she was welcomed with Harry as well.
Harry was constantly in the studio as of recently, working on his now fourth upcoming album. She was proud of him of course, but she missed him at home. Of course he would end up showing up in bed in the middle of the night, but she still needed him when she arrived home, she wanted the open comfort he always had to offer when she was down, or whenever she was around in general.
It was valentines day, and Y/N had woken up to Harry’s place on the bed empty, all she felt near her legs was the soft bundled up cat. She frowned, she knew she felt him get into bed in the early morning when he got home from the studio, but where could he possibly be at 6 in the morning, when she knew he had only gotten a few hours of sleep as well. She expected to have woken up by his side on the national day of love, not to be met with his empty space on the bed they shared. Sighing, she gets up trying her best to not disturb the peacefully sleeping cat, and makes her way into the bathroom, getting ready for the day on her own. She simply assumed Harry was out and already in the studio working on his album, she had planned a nice dinner for them in the evening, but at this point she knew Harry had long forgotten about it if he was already out at the studio.
She goes about her daily morning routine, getting her light makeup done, and getting dressed for the day ahead of her. Y/N makes her way back into the room where she can see the still sleeping cat on the bed. It's then when she notices a little note on the side where Harry usually sleeps next to her where now it wasn’t rare for her to see notes about his whereabouts in the early morning.
“Early studio day my love, I promise I’ll be back early tonight pretty girl - Love Harry”
Y/N sighs, not knowing whether to trust or acknowledge an empty promise he left in the note. Would he show up to the dinner she had excitedly planned and told him about the week before? Or would he simply forget and get home late from the studio again? She looks over her phone, noticing the time now almost hitting 7 am knowing she has only a few minutes to get out the door to get to the college on time. She gets up from the bed, trying to make the bed look as nice as she can with the still sleeping cat on the bed.
“Well Tulip, I’ll see you later” She pets the cat, sighing and making her way out of the room making her way over to the tray of food to fill up before she’s out for the day. Soon enough after filling the food bowl, she’s making her way out of the house, locking the door and getting inside her car. She sets her playlist before settling in the car, finally turning it on and making her way to the job she is dreading to attend on such a day that’s dedicated to love. She had to wake up on such a day by herself, without the love of her life beside her, and now she had to deal with inpatient demanding college students, but at least she was cutting her meetings with students to end 3 hours earlier than usual. She would be out of her office and off the campus by 1 pm, she had to go home and get everything ready for her dinner with Harry, that was if he even showed up to the dinner she had been planning for the last week.
Harry was in the studio as of early in the morning, writing various songs and melodies about her. His muse, his love, his current world, his Y/N. His thoughts and everything are fully devoted and constantly consumed by her, you can ask anyone in the studio, but he simply failed to acknowledge he hadn’t been proving that she was his world to him lately. He knew Y/N was not the happiest in her job, but it was what she always wanted to do, so he supported her through the ups and downs of her career. She always supported him at his lowest and he always did the same, but lately he was so consumed in his music about her, he failed to recognize she craved his comfort every evening when he wasn't there. He was working on a new song about her when his thoughts were interrupted by the ring of his phone, who could possibly be calling him at 10 in the morning. He glanced at the phone, putting down the guitar in his phone, seeing the contact of his best friend.
“Hey man” He hears Mitch’s voice through the phone and before he could utter a greeting to him, he hears him speaking again, “I actually won’t be able to go into the studio today” Harry sighs, “That’s fine, everything okay?” Harry asks, wanting to know the reason he simply decides to not show up to the studio when he has been showing up to write with Harry for all the days they’ve been in here.
“Yeah everything’s good, Sarah just has a few plans for us today ya know” Harry can hear the babbles of his godson in the background and smiles at the sound “You’re good Mitch, have fun with your family today” Harry replies smiling thinking about how one day he’s going to have the same little family with Y/N. It's when Harry Hangs up the phone, when he realizes what day it is, the sacred February 14th. Valentines day. It was valentines day, and he's in the studio, not with his love, that he left to wake up on her own on such a day. It was valentine's day and he had totally forgotten letting his Y/N spend the morning alone, rather than full of love.
He reacts on impulse, on calls Y/N, to no surprise she doesn’t answer. “Fuck” He groans, knowing she’s obviously in a meeting with the multiple college kids she sees a day. He doesn’t know whether he should race over to the college she works at, or rather go over to the madness any store would be at the moment with last minute gift buyers like him. He decides he’ll go through the madness of gift buying at the last minute, hoping to be in and out of the store at a decent time to get everything at home ready to make it up to his love.
By the time the clock is hitting 1 pm, Y/N is walking towards her car ready to go home knowing she has everything for dinner at home and doesn’t have to go through the madness of what a store would be at this time of day on such a day. She gets into her car, pulling out her phone that she hasn’t looked at since she arrived on campus. She thankfully didn’t have to deal with any screaming, cursing, or demanding students today, and she was grateful she didn’t have to deal with such a thing on a day like this. Looking at her phone she sees two miss calls from Harry, furrowing her eyebrows she wonders if something had happened at the studio. Clicking the buttons on her screen, she quickly dials Harry back, letting the worry of something happening to him consume her mind.
She's met with the sound of dialing from her phone for a few moments before she hears Harry’s voice. “My Love” She smiles at the sound of his voice, quickly responding, “Harry are you okay you called twice” Harry can hear her voice full of concern over the toppling noises of the store he is in. “Love I’m fine” He chuckles, “Just wanted to see how your morning was going” He lies, not wanting to admit the fact that he wanted to know her plans for the day, without a doubt he had forgotten if she had mentioned she had something planned for them. “My morning was fine Harry” She simply answers the phone and debates whether to ask him if he will be home early tonight before she hears his voice again. “Okay darling” she can hear him faintly sigh, “I’ll see you at home then alright?” Y/N frowns, she doesn’t know if he means he will be home by midnight to join her in bed, or if he will be home by dinner. “Okay Harry” She says sadly into the phone, and Harry swears he can hear a hint of sadness through her voice, “I love you” he throws into the conversation he hears her faint “ You Too” before she hangs up the phone and the call ends. Harry continues looking around the store like a madman in search of anything and everything he knows Y/N would love. As for Y/N she made the drive home only wondering if Harry would make it home before or past midnight, if he would show up for her home plans or if he wasn’t.
The clock signals 4 pm when Y/N is in the kitchen just finishing the dinner she started long ago, and moves onto putting the dessert in the oven. “Alright Tulip We’re all done here aren’t we!” She coos to the cat that’s been sitting on the counter watching her go crazy over cooking the meal. Y/N still had no idea whether or not Harry planned to even show up to dinner, but she still went out of her way to create the perfect meal, the worst that could happen was she had to enjoy the meal by herself. As for Harry, he was still running all over town in search of just something small that would prove his love for the girl. In every store he went in, he found absolutely nothing, all he had was a bouquet of flowers, and he felt as if that was not even close to enough to what the girl deserved.
5 pm hit and Y/N was fresh out of the shower, dressed in one of her dresses that she knew Harry loved. Even if Harry never showed up at Home, she wanted to at least feel good in her skin while having dinner on her own. After getting ready, she sits on the couch in the living room, Tulip quickly purring and makes her way over to Y/N on the couch jumping up and sitting next to her. Y/N turns on the TV opening netflix, and ultimately opening her comfort movie, “10 Things I hate About You” she turns over petting the cat, “Well Tulip, I think it’s just going to be you and me tonight” She looks over at the time noticing it’s almost 6 now, and she lets her hopes as to Harry arriving hit total bottom. She refuses to let it break her entirely, she only lets a few tears fall before she settles the cat in her lap fully on the couch focusing on the movie entirely.
Harry is almost speeding on his drive home, with a way too expensive and oversized stuffed rabbit, flowers, and a box of chocolates in the passenger seat, but the most important thing was that he was on his way home to Y/N. He worried that when he got home Y/N would be consumed with anger towards him for forgetting such a day where he should have embraced her with his love all day, but rather he forgot. When he finally made it home,he prayed to all and whatever gods in existsent that she wouldn’t be upset. He gets out of the driver seat and makes his way to the passenger seat practically dragging the large bunny out of the seat. He makes his way up to the door, he debates knocking or simply unlocking the door himself, as it is their shared home. However, with the large bunny, flowers, and chocolate in his arms, he can’t even reach the keys he shoved in his pockets.
Y/N perks up at the sound of the knocking on the door. Who could possibly be knocking on the door at 7 pm. “Were you waiting for some lover Tulip?” She pets the cat as she gets up, pausing the movie and making her way over to the door, curious to know who's behind knocking. When she opens the door she is met with a squeaky voice that she makes out to be Harry behind a large stuffed rabbit. “Did somebody order a bunny full of love” Y/N giggles in response, reaching over and pulling Harry’s by his arm into the house. Harry sets the stuffed animal down on the ground, putting the flowers and chocolates on the bench near the door, and looks over at his beautiful girlfriend in front of him. “You look incredible” He looks directly into her eyes, reaching out and pulling her into him to embrace the soft beautiful girl in his arms. Y/N looks up at him smiling softly, and she feels tears showing up in her eyes, Harry is quick to notice the tears. “Why are there tears in such pretty eyes hm” Harry softly tells her already brushing the first tears that fall onto her cheeks.
“I thought you wouldn’t show up” She says quietly burying her face into his sweater coated chest, “My pretty girl” Harry starts running his fingers through his hair, “I’ll admit I did forget at first” He feels her move, so now her chin is resting on her chest, looking up at him, and he wants to crumble at the tears that fall on her cheeks. “But when I saw the date, all I could think of was you” He used his thumbs to brush the tears off her face, “Harry” she whines still looking up at him. She doesn’t have much to say to his confession of forgetting, she was too overwhelmed with him actually being here to have dinner with her something they had always done but as of lately she had been longing and missing. “I’m sorry” He pulls her head into her chest again, “I’ll be here from every evening from now I promise love” He reaches down to pick her up fully, so now her legs are wrapped around him. “Promise Harry” she says softly, moving to face him completely, “I promise love, every evening I’ll be here waiting for you just like before” He leans his forehead down to be pushed against hers.
“I love you” She responds to his promise, “I love you more” He tells her before crashing his mouth against hers. The rest of the night was full of the love they shared with each other that they had both missed in so little time but yet so long. When Y/N woke up next the morning, Harry was there, when she went to work he bid her loving goodbyes, and when she got home he was there to hold her as she told him the new demands and complaints she had to endure over the day. A few months later when she was given the opportunity to start teaching college students rather than counseling them, Harry was there, he was everywhere she needed him to be, as he promised her back on valentines day.

Harry knew how to navigate and schedule his life around both his family, and his career. Being the top leading artist at the moment with his album Harry’s House was an honor, but so was having his family. His beautiful family consisting of his wife, his precious 3 year old son and newborn daughter. Y/N and Harry had met when she was studying abroad in London working towards her degree in social work, and while Harry was freshly home from the announced hiatus of One Direction. When Harry ran into Y/N at that small coffee shop he knew he was done for with the girl. One would assume taking the sweetest order of coffee instead of your dark order of caffeine would be a day ruiner, but once he was out the coffee shop drinking from the warm cup in his hands, he was quick to perk his ears at the voice of the girl that was right behind his tracks.
“Uhm, I think we may have switched up our drinks” Were the first words Harry heard from her, with her tapping his shoulder softly making sure to get his attention.
It was when he heard her voice that he seemed to notice the taste of the drink in his hands was not the dark caffeine he was used to, but rather the sweetest taste of caffeine he has ever tasted in his years of life.
He looked over at the girl, and was taken by her beautiful features at a first glance. “Oh, uhm I think yes this is definitely way too sweet to be mine” He managed to say and smiled over to the girl that he knew would consume her mind for the rest of the day.
“I took a sip of this drink, and I knew it was way too dark to be mine” She smiled at him lifting the cup a bit towards him “Then I looked over at the name on the cup! And I figured well my name definitely isn’t Harry” She laughed giving herself the privilege to look over his features, which she quickly found to be the prettiest features of anyone she had ever seen.
“I’m sorry I never even thought to check the name on the cup” Harry apologized to the girl, finally looking down noticing the name on the cup was in fact not his.
“It happens to the best of us!” She laughed, “I’m Y/N!” she smiled reaching out her hand towards him, “I’m obviously Harry” He smiled reaching out to shake her hand.
From that day on, they were hooked on each other.
They had their falls as relationships always did, but they were end game, and everyone could see it, and they proved it. After 2 years of being together, Harry proposed and they were soon engaged and quickly married. Time flew by and by the end of their first year in marriage Y/N was pregnant with what is now their 3 year old son, Davian. Davian was the light of their lives when they didn’t know they needed it. Of course they struggled as new parents, they had the sleepless nights, the sick nights, the nights of arguments, they went through it all together. By the time Davian was 2 and a half, Y/N was pregnant with their second child. Soon enough by the time Harry had welcomed his 3rd album to the world, he had also welcomed his new born Daughter Melody.
Davian, Melody and Y/N were Harry’s absolute world, he did everything and anything for them always, they were his top priority. But he never once anticipated the amount of love that came from dropping his 3rd studio album. Of course he was grateful for the immense love and support he was getting with his album, but he was not grateful for the pressures and stress that came from the demands of his management.
It's safe to say, Harry turned into a mad man at home. He wasn’t unhappy, never with his perfect family, but the stress of every interview, of every meeting, of every tour date coming up stressed him out to the core, and the sound of a hyperactive 3 year old following the cries of a newborn did nothing to help.
Quietly stepping into his office, knowing both of the kids are asleep and this is the only available time the new mother of two has to herself, Y/N makes her way over to Harry whos typing away at his laptop, brushing away a strand of hair from his face she says,“Harry I’ve got to step out to the grocery store real quick”, she continues to brush his hair with her fingers, knowing her husband is under new stresses that come from the album drop. Harry turns in his chair looking up at her sighing, “Are you taking the kids?” “They’re down for their naps, they’ve been a bit fussy today” she smiles softly at her husband, “I think they miss their daddy’s attention”
Harry sighs almost ignoring her comment of their children missing him he says “Make your grocery run quick please” Y/N untangles her hand from his hair, “ Harry the kids are sleeping, they will be for a while you’ll be fine” she sighs already making her way towards the door and out of his office. Y/N knows the pressure and stress Harry has gotten from dropping an album, she's been by his side two previous times when he has dropped albums, but never once has he seemed to have directed taking out his stress on her. She didn’t know if he was simply being over pressured or over stressed to have him acting as if his family was a disturbance to him. Letting the wonders and concerns consume her brain, Y/N tries to make the most of the time she has to herself on the grocery run.
Harry was talking to Jeff on the phone, when he was interrupted by the cries of not his newborn, but rather his toddler. “Give me a sec man” Harry quickly sighs into the phone making his way over to the shared room of both Melody and Davian. Y/N and Harry knew Davian struggled to sleep on his own ever since he was born, it wasn’t odd for toddlers or babies to have this attachment, but the two adults needed time for themselves, and when Melody came along they figured it would be perfect for the two children to be roomed together, hoping in the future it would only make their bond closer and stronger. “Daddy” Harry heard the whine of his little boy as he made his way into the room of the boy. “Buddy” Harry sighed, grabbing the boy from his little crib, looking over the crib to check Melody had not stirred in her sleep from Davian’s cries. The little boy was quick to latch onto Harry, not being able to do so in the many days Harry was locked in his office, but even though the boy was latched onto Harry’s neck, his cries didn’t stop. “Davi what's wrong buddy” He tried to sooth the boy in any way he could knowing that he’s still got so much to plan out with Jeff who he left hanging through the phone. Harry tried to keep the boy in his arms and continue talking and planning out his tour with Jeff, but was constantly interrupted by the cries of the boy in his arms. Growing angry, Harry put the boy on the ground “Davi you have got to stop-” and he was interrupted by the cries of Melody. “This can not be happening right now” He groaned, quickly grabbed his phone that was still on the call with Jeff, “I’m sorry, I’ll call you back soon Man,” He told him, “H” Jeff laughed, “We’ve got time, I understand go take care of your kids” Jeff told the dad of two, quickly hanging up the phone knowing he had much more important things to do. “Mel what’s wrong” He took the little girl out of her bassinet, for a moment forgetting about the toddler he had left in his office, up until the toddler once again let out a sob that had him speed walking back to his office.
Harry only grew more frustrated and annoyed at the sound of the cries from the toddler and the baby. “What could you both possibly need?” He groaned, now handling both the 3 year old and the newborn in his arms. When Harry heard the sound of a door opening he was grateful at the notification that his wife was home. He could finally get back to his work, knowing his wife would take care of the children in his arms. Racing down the stairs with both children in his arms he makes his way quickly to his wife. “Y/N please they won’t stop” He tells her practically begging her to take the children away from him. He fails to notice the immense amount of groceries she's holding in her arms. “Harry I’m-” She tries to tell him she has to handle the groceries before she’s interrupted, by him “Y/N please I have enough shit to deal with and this is not one of them” He says with a new face of anger and annoyance over him, he walks over to the couch nearest to them and places the children on it, turning to make his way back to office. “Harry you can’t just expect me to handle everything” Y/N tells him making her way over to the still sobbing children. She kneels on the ground in front of the couch turning her attention to the 3 year old first, “What’s wrong little love” she asks him softly leaning over to brush the hair that identical to his father out of his face, “Mama” the boy whines, and she is quickly embracing the kid in her arms, sitting on the couch fully hugging the poor boy. “Are you Hungry, Davi?” She asks the boy, she knew that right after any nap the boy immediately looked for a bottle of milk, she knew that if Harry had simply given the boy a little more of his attention his cries would be non existent. She feels the little boy nod into her, “Okay little one, let me get your sister settled and I’ll come help you, what if we watch the your show for now” She smiles to the boy, knowing that as soon as she turns the TV to bluey, the boys attention would be fully occupied, she's grateful when she hears the little soft voice of the boy say “Yes mama” as to her request of watching TV while she feeds his little sister. Grabbing the sobbing baby next to her, Y/N moves reaching over to the TV remote, turning on the show that would briefly calm the toddler, before she gets him fully settled after feeding his sister. As the baby latches onto Y/N’s breast, Y/N turns her focus to the toddler next to her, and her thoughts run to the man locked up in his office. How could he have acted like this to his children, he knew what his children were accustomed to and he let himself be consumed in his work to neglect them, something he promised he would never do.
By the time Y/N is done putting away the groceries, she notices the time is hitting 6pm knowing it is hitting bedtime for her babies, something that Harry would always help her with, but as of lately he’s too busy locked in his office to bid any of his attention to help her. She quickly works on setting up the bath for both of the children, putting everything in the bathroom, before going back into the play room she was previously in watching over the children. “Alright little loves it’s bath time” She smiles at Davian who cheers in response, she was grateful her little boy was not one of the children who hated the bath and fought against bathing. “As for you Mel you can have some tummy time before I clean you up” She puts the baby in her arms, holding hands with Davian leading him into the bathroom. Soon enough by the time the clock is hitting 7 bath time is all done, and she is putting the two kids into bed, she feels her heartbreak a little more as it has been every night, knowing that her husband is once again missing out on kissing and tucking the children in goodnight. It was something they both used to do together ever since Davian was born, and as of lately he has failed to do. After putting the kids to bed, Y/N makes her way to take her own shower, where she lets her thoughts and eventually her cries consume her. How did it ever get to the point where her husband was neglecting their family for almost two ongoing months now, would she have to continue taking care of a toddler and newborn on her own?
Y/N knew she would eventually have to have a conversation about what was going on with Harry. Especially after how he had let the children cry for so long today. Before getting into bed for the night, Y/N makes her way into Harry’s office. Without knocking on the door, she simply walks in seeing him once again typing away at his laptop. “Harry, could we possibly talk?” She is quick to ask him, knowing the conversation they have will end into a fight regardless of where the talk takes them. “Y/N I really can’t right now” He sighs not even glancing at her. “Harry, we need to talk '' She tells him this time more sternly, hoping to get the point across that they need to have this talk. “God Y/N please let’s not do this I can’t right now darling” He finally turns to look at her this time, and he can tell she is not having it. “If you can’t talk then Harry, then you will listen to me” She decides if he was going to refuse to have a civil conversation with her then he could rightfully listen to everything she has to say. She was tired of dealing with it all on her own. “I can’t do this on my own, Harry, it’s not fair to me. It’s not fair to the kids” She starts off “Y/N I told you-” He interrupts her “No you’re going to listen.” She holds her ground, “I understand that the album drop, interviews, tour it all comes with it Harry, but so should your family. Just because you have work doesn’t mean you neglect your family. You can neglect me all you want, Harry, but not your kids, you will not neglect my kids. They are still babies, they don’t deserve that, they do not deserve to be crying for almost an hour starving, when their Dad is home and is simply not able to give them any attention over work.” She starts to tear up at her next words, “ Harry I vowed to help you whenever you need, whenever you fall, I fall if you fall. But I didn’t vow to allow you to let our family fall. If you can’t deal with us anymore Harry, you can just say it. If you think this is too much for you we can go. I can go with the kids, I can leave you to be on your own, just say it, don’t ignore it please. I can’t be the only one looking out after a 2 month old and a three year old Harry, I can’t. I know your fans, and management need you but we need you too Harry ! We need you more ! I am so tired, Harry, so tired. The kids miss you, I miss you.” She finally breaks into sobs in front of Harry, and the realization of his actions finally hit him. He makes it over to his wife, letting her fall into his arms hearing her sobs break through her letting his own tears take over his eyes.
“I’m so so sorry” He starts, holding her even closer and harder, “ You all are far more important than this album and interviews I promise” He tells her letting his tears fall, moving his head into her shoulder. She puts her hand into his hair brushing it with her fingers in an attempt to comfort him, even though she knows he should be comforting her. “I’ll call Jeff, I’ll tell him interviews and tour dates are off for the next months, love” He moves his head from its place on her shoulder, moving her arm to be around him, he holds her closer so they are face to face, “I never ever meant to neglect you or the children, I just, I don’t know Y/N I don’t know” He looks straight into her face, this time he is the one brushing some stray hairs from her face away, “I love you and the kids Y/N, I will spend every day proving it to you and them always” He puts his forehead on hers looking down at her eyes full of tears just like his. He starts brushing her tears with his hand, “Let’s call Jeff right now why don’t I” He says softly leaning in to kiss her soft lips, “Okay” she softly replies leaning in to kiss him, something that she felt she hasn’t done in an eternity. She missed it, she missed him, even though he was always there. They kiss for a few moments before Harry is shifting from hugging her, to holding her hand, making his way to grab his phone, he sits in his office chair, guiding Y/N to sit on his lap, refusing to let her go, after he finally realized how much he missed his wife. He hooks his arm around her waist searching through his contacts, quickly finding Jeff’s number after having so many phone conversations with him in that one day alone.
It only takes a few moments of silence for Jeff to answer the phone, “Jeff Hey” Harry starts off the call and he’s immediately met with Jeff’s voice, “Harry I just told you we have to wait till-” Harry is quick to interrupt him, wanting to get his point across,“Jeff, I want to cancel everything for the next few months” “Harry what are you talking about” “I’m just, I need time with my family Jeff. The kids, Y/N they deserve and need my all and my attention over anything else Jeff. Davian is already three, Melody is only going to stay so little for so long, and Y/N shouldn’t have to deal with them on her own. I need to cherish and watch my family grow.” Harry is looking straight into Y/N as he speaks to Jeff, and she only falls into Harry’s shoulder, and he can feel her tears seeping into his shirt. How could he ever put his wife through this, she deserved way better than this and he knew it. “I get it man, I’ll clear it, I’ll get rid of it all Harry, take care of that little family of yours you got there for me” Harry can practically hear the smile on Jeff’s voice and he’s grateful to know his manager or more so brother figure is supporting this decision rather than opposing it. “Thanks Jeff, I’ll talk to you soon” Y/N can only hear Jeff’s faint response before Harry is sighing, putting the phone down, and embracing Y/N in another hug. “I’ll always be here from now on, okay.” He tells her softly into her ear, “I love you so so much” He reminds her, before he’s once again moving them to kiss the lips he has missed for so many days. After their moments of kisses, he picks her up, guiding her into their bedroom, he places her on the bed, and admires her for a few moments. He kisses her forehead, “I’ll be right back,” he makes his way out of the shared room of their two children, he’s clueless as to Y/N watching him over the baby monitor in her room. Harry makes his way over to the little boy, brushes the hair out of his face, before leaning down and kissing him softly, “I’ll be here more buddy I promise you.” Y/N sees him brush his tears away, before he’s leaning down over the boy “I love you little one”. He makes his way over to his little girl in the bassinet, “Pretty girl, I am so sorry” At this point, Harry is practically in sobs, and Y/N is up from their bed making her way over to the nursery room. “Harry” She whispers quietly into the air, making her way over to him, she hugs him from behind, getting on her toes, looking over his arm, she admires the man holding their daughter in front of them.
“I love you all so so much” He cries into the air “We love you so much more” she whispers back looking up at him.
From that night forward, Harry watched his family grow alongside him, in his home, in his office, in the backstage area of interviews, in the backstage area of tour arenas, and most importantly in his heart.
