《Kayden (Larry Stylinson)》Chapter Twenty Seven
Advertisement
Still in Harry's P.O.V –
I paced back and forth in my dressing room. My coming out interview is in just over two hours. Of course, James thought it would be best to make this interview live instead of prerecorded like his shows usually are. I laughed and told him that he just wanted to make sure I didn't change my mind afterwards. He simply chuckled and winked at me, silently telling me I was right.
You see, James is a good friend of mine. He was there for me when I was sixteen years old and just stepping into the spotlight. He was a good role model for me. He helped me deal with all my newfound fame and fortune and even helped me when I started to become confused about my sexuality. James and I have a large amount of respect for each other. He knows that coming out will be good for me. I know it too, but it doesn't make me any less nervous about it.
"I can do this. I, can do this." I chanted to myself as I paced.
"Haz. Sit down." Niall told me. I ignored him.
"I can do this. I'm fine. Everything will be fine. I can do this."
"H. Seriously you're wearing down the rug, sit down." He tried again. I still ignored him.
"It's not like I'm doing this for Louis. I'm doing this for me. I'm making this step for myself." I said out loud to no one.
"Right. You are a strong independent woman who don't need no man." Niall said with a mock attitude.
This one caught my attention and I turned to glare at him. He simply chucked and put his hands up in surrender. I continued to pace, trying to motivate myself when Gemma walked into the room. She saw me pacing and looked at Niall. He simply shrugged, silently saying he tried. Gemma rolled her eyes and quickly walked towards me. She put her hands on my shoulders and forced me to sit down. She held me there for a second while she grabbed my phone from the vanity. She messed around with it for a second and then shoved it in my face.
On the screen was the picture that was taken the day Lou decided to curl Kayden's hair. I was smiling at the camera but Kayden was smiling up at me. Looking at the picture instantly calmed me down.
"For Kayden?" I whispered.
"For Kayden." Gemma stated.
I knew she was right. This was about Kayden. My little look-a-like princess angel baby girl Kayds. After today, I would be able to openly talk about my daughter and how much she means to me. I also thought about how Kayden wondered for even a second if I didn't want her because of what those paparazzi assholes said to her. I knew I had to do this. Not for Louis. Not only for me. For Kayden.
A couple hours later I was standing at the entrance to the stage. I could feel the sweat in my palms. I glanced down at my phone and looked at the picture one more time. I took a deep breath as I shoved it back into my pocket.

"Tonight we have a very special guest." James began. "He is a very close and dear friend of mine. Please welcome Mr. Harry Styles!"
The crowd erupted in loud cheer as I walked my way out onto the stage. I went over and gave James a quick hug.
"You ready for this?" He whispered in my ear.
"Ready as I'll ever be." I whispered back.
I turned around and waved to the crowd as I took my seat. I really hoped these were nice people, because their comments about my sexuality will be the first ones I hear.
"So Harry. How are you today?" James asked.
I smirked. "I'm good James, and how are you?"
"I'm brilliant." He smiled. "So you're on tour now, correct?"
I nodded. "Yeah. I'm in the end stretch of the American part of my tour. I have about three weeks left and then I'm done for a while." I answered.
"That's great. How has it been?"
"It's been amazing as always. The fans in America are always very passionate and really loud. I love each and every one of them." I said honestly.
I could hear a few awes from the crowd, along with a few people shouting that they love me too. James and I talked a little bit more about my tour and any plans I have for a future album. Then we finally reached the topic I was here for.
"Okay so Harry." James said seriously. "There is something I want to discuss with you." I nodded and he continued. "There seems to be a little girl who looks an irrefutable amount like you." He reached behind him onto his desk and picked up a cardboard picture of Kayden. I instantly felt the smile stretch across my face at the sight of her.
"Yeah, I guess she does look a lot like me, huh?" I said sarcastically.
"So is she just a really coincidental doppelganger or is there a reason for her obvious similarities to you?" He asked.
I smiled a little more before I spoke. This was it.
"Well you see James. When two people become close..." I began and James' laugh cut me off.
"I know where babies come from Haz." He laughed. "So you are confirming that this little girl is your daughter?"
"Yes." I said proudly. "Her name is Kayden. She looks just like me because she is my daughter. Guess my genes are pretty strong."
I could hear shocked gasps from the crowd. They clearly weren't expecting me to confirm the rumors.
"I can't help but notice the fondness written across your face when you speak about her." James said.
I smiled so much my cheeks were starting to hurt. "She is incredible." I started. "She is smart and funny. She is the politest little girl. She has the best manners and is really talented. She can be this little cupcake but at the same time can also show she has her dad's sass to her. She is just a remarkable little girl and I love her to death." I finished. The awes in the crowd were very comforting.

"Wow. I'm glad you two are so close." He said in awe. "Now the big question is, how on earth did you keep this a secret for so long? Because she isn't a baby. She is a grown child."
"Yeah. She's four." I answered. "And I didn't really keep it a secret. I didn't know either until the picture went viral. At first I laughed at it, but then I realized that there was an actual possibility for there to be truth to it."
"Oh so you didn't know?" He asked, faking shocked as we've already spoken about this. I shook my head but he knew this wasn't a topic I wanted to stay on, so he continued. "Now, there is another part of this we need to address, because this little girl seems to have another father instead of a mother."
I nodded slowly, reminding myself to breathe. "Yeah." I said. "Her father, Louis, is part of the two percent of males in the world that can get pregnant."
"And Louis is the same man that was used by fans as proof of your homosexuality about five years ago, correct?" He asked.
"Yeah. We had met at a concert and decided to hang out afterwards." I said.
"And along came Kayden." James joked. I laughed and nodded my head. "So the fans were right. You are, in fact, not the womanizer that the media has portrayed you as?"
"Right. I am gay." I confirmed. I could hear some people in the crowd gasp, but then suddenly someone yelled 'I still love you Harry!' and the rest of the crowd began cheering loudly. When the cheering died down, I mouthed a 'thank you' to them.
"So how are things with you and Louis now? Any romance brewing?" He asked, raising his eyebrows at me.
I chuckled lightly. "Things between him and I are great. He truly is an amazing person. He has done such a great job with raising our daughter, even while doing it on his own for four years. Right now I am on tour so it is a bit tricky and we're still really figuring it out. We both put Kayden before everything like we should so it is a little more complicated than just having a relationship but yeah. He is very special to me." I answered.
"Well I sincerely hope it all works out for you." James said. He turned and spoke to the camera, saying what was to come after coming back from commercial and after he was done, he turned back to me as we stood up. "Congratulations mate." He told me.
"Thanks James." I said back. I waved goodbye to the crowd and walked backstage again.
As soon as I got back there, Niall embraced me in a huge hug. Everyone was telling me how proud they are of me but I couldn't pulled my phone out and dialed the now memorized phone number. It only rang once before there was an answer.
"Harry!" Louis said upon answering. "That was amazing! I am so incredibly proud of you!"
I smiled at the sound of his voice. "Thanks babe." I knew it was really early in the morning in London but I was glad he was awake to watch it. "I feel so light and carefree." I told him.
"As you should. Oh. Hold on. Someone wants to talk to you." Louis said.
"PAPA!" Kayden shouted through the phone.
"Hi Angel!" I said to her lovingly.
"I saw you on TV! I saw me on TV too! You were talking about me!" She said excitedly.
I let out a small laugh. "We were princess. Everyone wants to know about you. You're my favorite person in the world."
"You're my favorite person too Papa." She whispered into the phone. "But don't tell Daddy that. He will get jealous."
This made me laugh louder. "Don't worry. I won't."
"Okay Papa, Daddy wants the phone back. I love you! Only three more weeks!" She said.
"Only three more weeks!" I repeated. "I love you too."
I heard a shuffle through the phone and then heard Louis' voice again.
"You should have seen her while we were watching." Louis chuckled. "First she screamed because you were on TV. Then she screamed because her picture was on TV. She was all bright smiles the whole time."
"I'm glad it made her happy."
"And what about you? Are you happy?" He asked me.
"I'm happy, but I'll be happier when I'm with you two." I answered. "I miss you both."
"We miss you too." He said softly.
"Both of you?" I asked hopefully.
"Both of us." He replied. "I may even miss you more than Kayden, but she would fight me to no end on that."
I smiled. Knowing Louis misses me made my heart flutter. I knew Kayden missed me because she tells me all time, but Louis was always a mystery. Maybe if he was my boyfriend he would be a little more open about it. He was probably just holding back still, so I didn't really mind. I knew I would dig my way into his heart when my tour is over. I'm just glad he is willing to try.
We spoke for a little longer until he said he needed to get Kayden ready for school and he needed to get ready for work. We said our goodbyes and got off the phone. We went back to the hotel and I immediately got into my bed. I deleted the Instagram and Twitter apps off of my phone, knowing that looking at it within the next few days would only be self-depreciating. I knew there would be a lot of supportive fans posting their words of encouragement. However, that didn't change the fact that the rude comments always stood out more.
I closed my eyes as I cuddled deeper into the blanket. I held a pillow close and tried to imagine it was Louis. "Only three more weeks." I told myself. I hope it goes by fast.

The Stormcrow Cycle
Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!

Pregnant with the italian's baby ✔
DISCLAIMER!!!!!!This book is probably very bad! Who am I kidding? there's no probably, it's very bad. There are probably some things that don't make sense or don't add up, and the writing in the first chapters (or all) is bad.I know I have improved but this was just a warning, so I don't get cussed out in the comments. Lol, jk. I wrote this when I was younger (I hated editing) so there are a lot of mistakes with capitalizing, punctuation, sentence structure etc.Read at your own risk. You were warned.************Excerpt. The pounding of my head could be heard from a mile away. I closed my eyes tightly and tried not to focus on the pain. I was becoming irritated by both the headache and the stupid chains. I opened my eyes and looked over at my sister, she was sleeping with her head hanging low. I looked away from her and pulled on the chains, ignoring the migraine I'm pretty sure I have. This is just pure cruelty, I really prefered staying in the room. I looked around the room, for what felt like the millionth time within this hour.I took a deep and long breath before I just let my hands hang to the sides of my head in the chains. My breathing slowed and I closed my eyes.When I opened my eyes a while after I noticed that someone was in the room. "What are you doing in here?" I asked.~~~~~~~~Highest Rank #1 in General Fiction.New cover made by @lexusloveangels. Thanks again, I love it.
