"Louis, it's Harry. I guess you don't intend on answering the phone. I really want to see Kayden. I only have a little over a month before I have to go on tour again. Please Lou. I don't want to miss out on more time with her. I've missed enough." I could hear sniffling. "Just call me back please."

It's been three days. Three days, twenty-seven phone calls, forty-two text messages, and five voicemails. I couldn't answer him. I was still so mad about our argument. I didn't want to say something that I didn't mean, so I just didn't say anything to him at all.

"So you just took her and left?" Zayn asked.

"Yes. He was talking to me like I was some kind of horrible person! And then he had the audacity to basically hit on me!" I exclaimed.

It was later in the week and Zayn came over like we planned. Kayden was upstairs playing in her room, so I took the time to explain the argument Harry and I had to him.

"I don't know Lou..." he said unsure. "You don't think maybe you overreacted a bit?"

I knew he was going to say that, and I had to agree, I kind of did. "Well I mean, yeah maybe a little." I admitted. "But I don't want Kayden to get hurt. Meeting part of his family this soon?"

"Well it's not like he was going to introduce her as Aunt Gemma." Z whispered. "All Kayden would know is that she is Harry's sister.

I sighed and put my head in my hands. He was completely right. "Why do I always make shit choices?" I said softly. Just then, I heard a knock at the door. I wasn't expecting anyone so I went over and opened it. I scoffed when I saw who it was. I should have known he would just show up.

"Haven't you heard of a phone?" I asked him sarcastically.

"You mean the phone you don't answer?" Harry replied.

"Lou? Who is it?" Zayn stepped behind me at the door. I could see Harry eyeing him up and down as Zayn had his hand on the small of my back. "Oh hey. You must be Harry." He put his hand out and Harry shook it. "I'm Zayn."

There was an awkward tension as Harry didn't reply. He just stared at him like he was deep in thought, looking him over. I knew Harry wasn't going to leave unless he got to see Kayden.

"Z, can you go upstairs and play with Kayds?" I asked him.

"Sure." He said simply, then he leaned in to whisper in my ear. "Talk to him." He said.

I saw the look Harry gave him when he got close to my ear, so I smirked to make it seem like he said something seductive. Harry rolled his eyes and stared down at his shoes. Once Zayn walked up the stairs, I nodded towards the porch and stepped outside. I shut the door behind me and went to sit down.

"Louis," Harry started. "Please let me see my daughter. I have already missed out on enough time with her. I really don't want to miss out on more." He begged.

"You're right." I said. "I shouldn't have kept you from her again. That was wrong of me and I'm sorry." I apologized.

Harry seemed a bit taken back, but then nodded. "Well I'm sorry too. I said we would take this at the pace that you found best for her, but then I got mad when I wasn't getting my way." I was surprised with how mature we were both being about this. "It won't happen again." He promised.

"I just don't want her to get hurt." I explained. "I know you don't want that for her either but you have to realize, she is my life. I have sacrificed everything for her. I have watched her get skinned knees and even that breaks my heart. I felt like meeting Gemma was just another person she could get attached to and that is just another person she would miss if this all goes south."

"Louis, what do you mean if this goes south?" He asked confused.

I sighed. "I mean if you decide that this isn't what you want. That she isn't worth it." I said sadly, looking down at the ground.

He quickly moved over to sit right next to me and put his hand on my leg. "Louis," he said, grabbing my chin to make me look at him. "There is nothing that I want more than to have that little girl in my life. If that means losing everything, it's a very small price to pay." He said confidently.

He really knew what to say to make me feel better. We sat there looking at each other for a moment and I smiled. We both seemed to realize his hand still on my leg at the same time because I blushed as he pulled it away.

"Oh, sorry." He said. "That is really inappropriate of me with your boyfriend inside."

Boyfriend? Oh. OHHH. He thinks Zayn is my boyfriend. So that would be why he was staring him down before. Harry is jealous. I decided not to correct him. Maybe I did it because it kept him from coming on to me, which meant that I didn't have to turn him down. Or maybe I did it because I like seeing Harry jealous. I mean I have to admit; jealous Harry is hot.

We decided to go inside, Harry being really eager to see Kayden. I told him to wait in the living room while I went up and got her. When I got into Kayden's room, I saw Zayn dressed up in a tutu with a tiara on his head. The sight made me bend over, clutching my stomach in laughter.

"Kayden, Harry is here to see you." I told her when I finished laughing.

"HARRY?!" She squealed.

I nodded softly. "Yes babe, he's downstairs."

She took off running towards the stairs to see Harry, while Zayn took off the tutu and tiara. When he was done, he went to go downstairs but I pulled him aside.

"Remember that time in college when I pretended to be your boyfriend because your weird roommate had a crush on you?" I reminded him.

"Uh... yeah? Why?" he asked confused.

"Well I'm cashing in on the favor from that." I said. "Harry thinks you're my boyfriend, and I didn't exactly correct him so I need you to play along."

"Oh my god, Louis!" He whisper shouted.

"What?! It's not any worse than what you did!" I told him.

Zayn thought for a second but then sighed in defeat. "Fine." He said reluctantly. "But if this goes bad, you need to tell him the truth. I do not need to be on the bad side of a jealous popstar."

"Deal!" I told him eagerly. "Thanks mate."

I walked downstairs, Zayn in tow. When I got there I saw Kayden sitting on Harry's lap, telling him all about what she did the past few days that she didn't see him. He seemed to be really interested in everything she was saying. He genuinely wanted to know everything about his daughter. The thought made me happy.

After about an hour of Kayden's rambling and having to sit awkwardly close to Zayn on the couch, we decided to order pizza and watch a movie. Kayden didn't want to move off of Harry's lap and I don't think he was going to make her either. They were both quite content. I put the pizza on plates and brought it to them. They thanked me and I put in Beauty and the Beast.

I have seen this movie about five hundred times, so it was no surprise when I fell asleep in the middle of it. What was a surprise though, was how my head rested on Zayn's shoulder from sitting so close to him. It wasn't awkward since we have been friends for so long, but apparently Harry wasn't too thrilled about it. When Zayn had woken me up after the movie ended, he whispered in my ear about how Harry had a pissed off look on his face once he saw it.

I noticed that Kayden was still awake, which is strange because she normally falls asleep during the movie.

"Kayds, it's time for bed babe." I told her. "Come on, I'll tuck you in."

She cuddled closer into Harry. "I want Harry to tuck me in." She said with a pout.

I glanced at Harry and he was looking at her fondly. He gave me a look that told me he really didn't mind so I said okay. She gave Zayn and I each a hug goodnight and then went back over to Harry. He carried her up the stairs and while he was tucking her in, Zayn said he had to go and left. I cleaned up the living room and the kitchen, and when Harry came back down, he helped me.

"Well your boyfriend seems like a nice guy." He said. I could tell he was trying to keep the bitterness out of his voice.

"Oh. Um... yeah." I answered, not really knowing what to say. "He's great." I tried.

We continued to clean in silence. When we were just about done, Harry turned to me suddenly. "Does he treat you right?" He asked.

"Come again?"

"Your boyfriend." He specified. "Does he treat you right?" He asked again.

"Yes?" I said, sounding more like a question than a statement.

"Okay." He nodded. "Well.... Good then."

It was awkward silence for the next few minutes.

"I should go. I have the hour drive back home." He told me.

"Yeah. It's already late as it is." I agreed. "Are you going to come back over tomorrow?" I asked him.

His face lit up in a grin at that and he nodded eagerly. I really did appreciate how excited he was for whenever he got to spend time with Kayden. It helped put my mind at ease about whether or not he really wanted to be in her life for the long run.

We said goodnight and he left. I locked up like I normally do and I went to check on Kayden. She was cuddled up with the bear that Harry had gotten her and sleeping soundly. I kissed her on the forehead and retreated back to my room. I plugged in my phone and went to take a shower.

When I got out, I noticed I had a text message on my phone.

im glad we're not fighting anymore... thanks for letting me see kayds.... see you tomorrow.

I smiled at the fact that he has taken to her nickname and quickly typed out a response.

im glad too... you're really good with her and she missed you... see you then.

There was no response after that so I got ready for bed and looked over my schedule for the next week. I noticed that I have a business trip from Thursday into Friday, which was only the day after tomorrow. My mom is going to be watching Kayden while I'm gone, so I'll have to remember to tell Harry that he won't be able to see her until after I get home on Friday. "I'm sure he won't mind." I thought.

I turned off my light and snuggled into bed my bed. It was a lot easier to fall asleep this time because my mind wasn't plagued on what to do about the situation with Harry. For once, things felt simple and relaxed. "Maybe this will work out after all." I whispered just before I drifted to sleep.
