"Daddy this is so cool!" Kayden said excitedly. She has never flown before so she is basically bouncing off the walls and asking what everything is. Of course, there is a lot more to room to move being as Harry booked us first class seats. I can't say I expected otherwise though. He would spoil Kayden with her own plane if she wanted one.

After she had something to eat, we watched a movie and then she fell asleep. I was grateful because it was an eight-hour flight to New York and there is only so much you can do to entertain a child while in such a confined space. I did some work while she slept, and then eventually I dozed off as well. When I woke up, it was to a flight attendant telling me that we were about to land. I glanced over at Kayden and saw she was quietly playing a game on the iPad that Harry had bought her. He claimed it was a for educational purposes, but I knew it was simply because she had him wrapped around her little finger.

"Kayden, you have to turn that off now babe." I told her.

"Okay." She switched it off and put it back in my bag.

When the plane landed and was taxiing to the terminal, I decided to send Harry a text. I knew how nervous he was for Kayden to be on an airplane.

just landed. we're just waiting to get to the terminal now

As if he was waiting for my text, his response was immediate.

oh good! i'm waiting outside your terminal now.

I chuckled.

are you even allowed to be there without a ticket? how did you get through security?

i'm harry styles and I have dimples... don't underestimate the dimples lou.

I laughed quietly and rolled my eyes.

noted.

By the time we were able to leave the plane, Kayden couldn't sit still. She kept wanting to run ahead of me but I wouldn't let her. We walked slowly down the jet bridge and into the airport. As soon as she saw Harry, I knew I couldn't hold her back anymore.

"HARRRRRRRRYYYYYY!" She screamed as she ran and jumped into his arms.

"Well so much for fans not noticing, mate." Niall chucked next to him.

Once he said that, I noticed Harry was trying to be at least a little disguised. He had sunglasses and a hat on and his sweatshirt was covering any telling tattoos.

"At least she didn't scream 'Daddy' or something like that." Liam replied.

I knew Liam didn't mean anything by it, but I could see the hurt flash across Harry's face. It would have made his day if she had called him something other than Harry. He quickly brushed it off though and just cuddled closer into Kayden.

"I missed you, angel." He whispered to her.

"I missed you too." She answered.

"We should really get out of here." Liam told Harry.

Harry nodded and we started to walk, him never putting Kayden down. When we got to the baggage claim, I saw that the airport staff had already grabbed our bags and placed them aside. I knew Harry had something to do with it, but I wasn't about to complain. We quickly made our way outside while the driver grabbed our bags and put them in the back of the SUV. Harry climbed with Kayden into the back seat and I entered after them. Niall had already gotten in the car before Harry and Liam sat in the front passenger seat.

Just before the driver went to pull away, we could hear a group of girls yelling Harry's name. I heard Liam groan and start talking about how they probably noticed Kayden and I but Harry didn't seem to care. He was too wrapped up in the fact that he had his daughter back. They were talking about how she liked the flight and she was telling him about all the different games she plays on her iPad. They looked like they were truly just best friends with a very large age difference. They smiled at each other with complete adoration.

That night we had gone straight to the hotel. Kayden and I were exhausted from jetlag, so we decided on just going to sleep. Of course, she had insisted on sleeping in bed with Harry and he wasn't about to turn her down. The next morning, I woke up to my phone ringing.

"Hello?" I answered sleepily.

"Good morning Louis." Harry replied. "Can you come get Kayden?"

I looked at the clock. 8:17am. "Yeah sure, is everything okay?" I asked.

"Everything is fine." He said. "Turns out Liam was right. Some fans noticed me at the airport and pretty quickly connected Kayden to the picture of her from Lottie's instagram. He says we need to discuss damage control and I really don't want her to hear that stuff."

I completely agreed with him. Kayden didn't need to hear about how people can't know she is Harry's daughter. She is too young and wouldn't understand. I told him I would be right there and I hung up. I got dressed and went over to Harry's room to retrieve Kayden. Harry promised her that he would see her in a half hour and I took her down to the hotel restaurant to get some breakfast. While she was eating, I pulled out my phone and googled Harry's name. I found the article pretty quickly.

Alright guys. I don't know about you, but it seems as if it is getting harder and harder for Harry Styles to deny the rumors of him being a father. Turns out, some fans were at an airport yesterday when they spotted Harry there to pick someone up. A little girl who looks just like the girl in the viral photo was seen screaming his name loudly and running into his arms. Fans said that they appeared to have a very close relationship. Also seen with the girl was her father, Louis Tomlinson. Now, I don't know but I can't really think of a reason why Harry would have Louis and his daughter fly to another country to visit him if there wasn't some kind of connection there. Let us know what you think.

*Video attached.*

I clicked play on the video. It was blurry but you could definitely hear Kayden yell Harry's name as she leaped into his arms. There was another clip where it showed Harry climbing into the car while still holding her. I sighed and put my phone back in my pocket.

After Kayden was done eating, Harry came down with Liam and told us we were going over to the venue where he was having his concert tonight. He said he had sound check and thought that K would love to see everything. She excitedly agreed with him and we got in the car. When we got there, Kayden noticed Gemma. She immediately ran over to her and gave her a hug. While she was distracted, Harry asked if he could talk to me for a minute. I nodded and followed him into another room.

"What's up?" I asked him.

"I need to talk to you." He said. "About Kayden."

Oh no. This was it. He realized that being in her life isn't worth all the drama he has to deal with because of it. This was going to absolutely crush her. I'm so stupid for trusting him. I should have never let him into her life.

He must have noticed the color drain out of my face because he quickly spoke.

"No, no Lou. It's nothing bad." I immediately relaxed.

"Okay." I breathed. "What is it then?"

"Liam thinks I should tell my fans about Kayden." He stated. I felt sick to my stomach instantly. When I didn't say anything, he continued. "They have already basically figured it out and it is getting harder to deny. He thinks that if I deny it now, that it will only make it seem like I don't want her." He rambled.

"Harry." I stopped him. "Can I just have some time to think about it? This is a really big step."

"Yeah of course." He answered. "Just let me know as soon as you can."

I nodded and we walked back into the main room where everyone else was. I couldn't stop thinking about Harry wanting to tell the world about Kayden being his daughter. I don't know if I'm ready for that. I don't know if Kayden is ready for that. She just found out herself only a month ago. Telling the world comes with problems I'm not sure I can handle. We would be followed by paparazzi. We could get harassed by his fans. I have seen his fans. They could literally kill someone and get away with it. They once hacked an airport security camera system, simply to watch him mess around on his phone. If I'm being completely honest, his fans scare the shit out of me.

Kayden was so happy though. She watched Harry's sound check, and let Lou do her hair. She had two French braid pigtails with a flower in the right one. She looked simply adorable. We went out for lunch and when we came back, it was time for Harry to get ready for his concert. Kayden and I stuck around because she wanted to watch. I agreed, but only on the terms that we stayed backstage. I didn't need anyone to recognize us.

We watched as Harry performed. Kayden was singing along to the songs she knew from Lottie. You could see how happy Harry made her just from seeing the way she looked at him. He dedicated his song Girl Almighty to 'a special girl', and then when he was close enough, he subtly winked at Kayden to let her know it was to her. She danced around backstage with Lou and Gemma. I was glad to see her so happy.

After Harry was done, we all went back to the hotel and packed our things. We had to be on the tour bus first thing in the morning so we could head to our next stop in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Once everything was packed up, we loaded it on the bus and then went back in our rooms to sleep. Kayden decided to sleep with Harry again. I didn't mind because I know how much she missed him.

The next morning, we woke up bright and early to get on the bus. Harry kept sending me looks as if asking if I had an answer for him yet, but I simply shook my head. Kayden loved the tour bus. She thought it was so cool how it was basically a house on wheels. She saw the picture she drew him taped to the wall next to his bed, and they spent the rest of the ride hanging up all the other ones she drew him right next to it.

It wasn't a long ride, only about 2 hours. When we got to the next hotel, we checked in. Harry requested that mine and his rooms have a connecting door. He said that it would be easier for Kayden to be able to be near both of us at night. I agreed with him since it put me at ease too. The rest of the day was spent playing games in our hotel rooms and watching movies. Harry didn't have another concert until tomorrow, so we were able to just relax.

When we got to the venue the next day, Harry asked Gemma to take Kayden over to Lou to have her hair done, and pulled me aside. We went into an empty room and he shut the door.

"I really don't want to pressure you Lou, but we need an answer. Liam's phone is blowing up with people wanting a comment on that article about the airport incident." He said.

I sighed. "Harry, I really don't think it's a good idea."

I could tell this isn't what he wanted to hear. He sat down and sighed deeply, putting his head in his hands.

"I'm sorry." I continued. "I just don't know what to do here."

"I don't either. I mean my fans are the reason I have everything that I do. Lying to them just feels wrong." He explained.

"Oh you mean like about your sexuality?" I mumbled. I didn't mean to say it out loud but it slipped. I glanced at him to find he was already looking at me. He looked hurt. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that." I retracted.

"That's not the same and you know it!" He was mad. He was really mad. "I'm lying to them about having a child, Louis. A very important part of my life. Denying it now will just make me look like a deadbeat dad who doesn't actually want his daughter." He spat. I went to talk but he continued. "Look at her! She looks just like me. A blind man could see that she's mine."

I knew he was right, but all I could think about was the bad things that could happen from this.

"I'm sorry. I just- I can't. Not yet." I told him.

"Of course." He scoffed. "Once again, calling all the shots. I get no say in the matter."

I could already tell this was going nowhere positive. All I could think about was getting Kayden out of harm's way, and if that meant leaving Harry, then so be it. She is what matters most to me.

"This was a bad idea." I said. "I should go. I'm going to get Kayden."

I went to walk out but a hand on my shoulder stopped me.

"Louis, don't do this." He pleaded. "You may not want to be around me but that doesn't mean she doesn't."

I could feel the blood rush to my face. "That's what you think?!" I asked angrily. "You think that I don't want to be around you?! Harry, all I have wanted for the past five god damn years has been you! Are you really that dense?! I can't even go on a date without feeling disappointed because the person sitting across from me isn't you!" I saw his face contort in confusion at what I had just said. I realized what I admitted, but I was too pissed off to care.

"What?!" He asked in confused anger. "If you wanted me, then why the hell did you leave that morning and told me not to text you?! You rejected me when I tried to kiss you. You went on a date with someone from work. You- "

"I had to!" I shouted, cutting him off. "I couldn't let you ruin everything you had worked so damn hard to obtain! I heard you that night, freaking out with Liam about the paparazzi being outside your house! People finding out about you being gay would ruin your career! Your life even! I couldn't do that to you!"

"How about letting me make that decision?! Stop making all the decisions for once! Louis, I wanted you! Yes! Okay? I was scared! But I was only scared because I had never found someone that made me want to risk everything until I met you!"

He can't say these things to me. I can't listen to this. It will only make it harder. "Stop." I told him, shaking my head. "Stop telling me these things. You don't know what you're saying."

He pulled his hair in frustration. "Oh for the love of-" He walked over to me quickly, grabbed my face, and pressed his lips to mine.
