For the first time in my life, I had to figure out what to do when it came to celebrating Christmas. Do I celebrate it with my family like always? Do I celebrate it with Harry's family? Do we not celebrate it with either family and just celebrate together with Kayden? I honestly could not make up my mind. I never had to decide this before. There was never another family option. It was always just my family, Kayden, and I.

To add to the stress, lately I've been throwing up. I think it is just a simple stomach bug. It has only been a couple days and once I vomit, I'm fine for a while. But of course, Harry has to be a worrier and keeps telling me to go to the doctor.

"Harry, I'm fine." I told him. "It is just a stomach bug or stress, I'm sure. If it doesn't stop by next week, I'll go to the doctor."

"Louis. What if it's not?" He replied.

"Then I'll end up at the doctor next week." I said with a shrug.

He looked at me as if he was trying to read my face. "Promise?"

"Promise." I said honestly.

Tomorrow is Christmas eve. Which means, tomorrow is my birthday. After about a week straight of Harry asking what I wanted for it, he finally gave up. However, now I'm getting nervous about what he is planning. He has been acting really sneaky and he only acts that way when he is planning something. My phone began to ring, interrupting my thoughts.

"Hey Zayn." I said as I answered.

"Hey Lou. Can I ask you a huge favor?" He sounded stressed.

"Sure mate, what's up?"

"I know tomorrow is your birthday and Christmas eve and everything," he began. "But do you think in the morning you could run out with me? I forgot to get Perrie something for Christmas and I really don't know what to get her."

I thought for a second. I doubt Harry would be happy about me leaving him on Christmas eve to go out with Zayn, but its only for a short while.

"Yeah, sure. That shouldn't be a problem." I told him. "As long as it doesn't take too long."

Zayn let out a relieved sigh. "Thanks man. You're the best. It won't take long, I promise."

We talked a little bit longer, catching up on stupid things, and then we got off the phone. I immediately went downstairs to find Harry and inform him of my plans tomorrow. I found him in the kitchen preparing dinner.

"Hey babe." I said wrapping my arms around his waist from behind.

He instantly leaned into my touch. "Hi love."

"So Zayn just called me." I said.

"Oh yeah?" He replied, turning around to face me.

"Yeah. The idiot forgot to get a Christmas present for Perrie." I told him.

Harry chuckled. "Great first Christmas together. Forgetting to get her a gift. That relationship is bound to last." He joked.

I laughed. "I know. So anyways, he wants me to go with him in the morning for a little bit to find her a gift. I know it's Christmas Eve and my birthday, but I promise I won't be gone long."

He looked upset. I immediately regretted telling Zayn I would go, but I couldn't take it back now.

"I was really hoping you'd be home all day with me and Kayden." He said sadly.

"I know and I'm sorry." I frowned. "He sounded really desperate and I felt bad."

He appeared to be thinking for a minute. "Promise you'll be home early?" He asked.

I smiled. "No longer than like three hours." I told him.

He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead. "Okay babe. Just don't take too long." He said softly.

"You're not mad?" I asked.

He smiled a dimply smile. "I can never be mad at you."

I melted. He is always so understanding. "I love you." I said honestly.

"I love you too." He replied.

The next morning, I woke up to my phone ringing. It was Zayn letting me know he was on his way. It was 8am and Harry and Kayden seemed to still be asleep. I pouted a little, expecting them to be awake before I left, but I didn't want to wake them. I made quick work of getting ready. As soon as I was done, I saw Zayn pull up. I left the house and got into his car.

"Hey mate." I said.

"Hey. Thanks a lot for this Lou. Really, I owe you one." He said.

I laughed. "That's what best mates are for, Z. You owe me nothing."

We drove to the mall. Everything was just opening by the time we got there. When we went inside, Zayn immediately walked into a candle store. I laughed, telling him that a candle might not be the best idea for her Christmas gift. This is when Zayn decided to let me know that he not only forgot to get Perrie a gift, but also forgot to get gifts for his parents and his sisters. I rolled my eyes and told him he better make it fast.

Two hours went by and he managed to get gifts for everyone, except Perrie. He was stumped when it came to her. We were walking by a jewelry store when I stopped him.

"Hey why don't we look in there?" I suggested.

"Lou. I don't want to propose." He said confused.

I laughed. "You're an idiot. Jewelry stores have more than engagement rings."

He shrugged and we walked into the store. The sales representative was really nice and attentive. She helped Zayn pick out a really pretty necklace for Perrie and he also picked out a bracelet for his mom, even though he had gotten her a sweater already. As we walked out of the store, Zayn got a text. He glanced at his phone and smiled.

"Perfect timing." He mumbled.

"What?" I asked.

He shook his head and said that we were done. We walked back to the car and started the drive back to my house. He seemed really excited to give Perrie her gift, and I was glad. Seeing my best friend happy made me happy. When we pulled up to my house, I noticed Zayn parked the car and turned it off. I gave him a confused look, as I wasn't expecting him to come in. He walked around to the trunk and pulled out two presents.

"I want to see Kayden. One of these is for her, the other is for your birthday." He explained.

I smiled. "Thanks Z. You didn't have to do that." I told him.

"Pfft. Of course I did." He said.

We went inside and as soon as I walked in the door I was startled.

"SURPRISE!"

I looked around and everyone was here. My mom, Dan, all of my siblings, Harry's mom, Gemma, and Robin. Perrie was also here, along with Lou, Niall, and Liam.

"Holy shit!" I said as I was shocked.

"Daddy! Bad word!" Kayden scolded and everyone laughed.

"Sorry babe." I said, picking her up and kissing her cheek. "Did you do this?" I asked her.

She nodded. "And Papa helped!" She said excitedly.

I turned my head and saw Harry walking over to me. I put Kayden down and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"You didn't have to do this babe. Thank you." I told him, kissing him lightly.

"I know I didn't, but I wanted to. You were so stressed about what to do for the holidays. So, I brought both families to us." He explained.

"You are the absolute best and I do not deserve you." I said honestly.

"Nonsense." He replied, and he kissed my forehead and hugged me tightly.

The day went perfectly. I was able to spend my birthday with my closest friends and family. The best part though, was seeing how happy it made Kayden to have everyone around on Christmas eve. As the day turned into the evening, Harry cooked dinner. We all ate and talked, sharing stories and laughing together. It couldn't have been any better.

After dinner, we exchanged Christmas presents, excluding the ones Harry and I were giving Kayden and the ones we got for each other. Kayden was thrilled she got to open presents on Christmas eve. Zayn's birthday present to me was a shirt from Harry's last tour. It was a black shirt with his face almost covering the front of it. We all laughed as I thanked him. I put it on and Harry rolled his eyes fondly.

After presents, everyone said their goodbyes and went home. I was glad because I liked the idea of being able to spend Christmas Day with just Harry and Kayden. We tucked Kayds into bed and kissed her goodnight. When we were sure she was asleep, we brought out all of the presents and put them under the tree. It looked beautiful and I was glad that I was finally able to give her a good Christmas. Not that other Christmases were bad, but this one would definitely be different in the best way possible. This Christmas, we had a complete family.

As Harry and I went into our bedroom, I saw a small wrapped box sitting on the bed. I looked at Harry and he shrugged.

"Did you really expect me to not get you something for your birthday?"

I laughed. To be honest, I really didn't. I knew he couldn't possibly go without getting me anything. He just isn't that kind of person. And besides, I don't let him buy me things as often as he wants to, so my birthday is an excuse for him.

I walked over to the bed and picked up the box. As I unwrapped it, I wondered what might be inside. It was really light and really small, so I wasn't sure what it could possibly be. When I opened the box, I wasn't sure if I wanted to scream or be insanely confused.

"Keys?" I said looking at Harry. "I'm noticing a theme here."

He chuckled. "Come on." He said, grabbing my hand and pulling me outside.

In the driveway was a black Range Rover with a big red bow on it.

"Happy Birthday Lou." He said softly.

"You bought me a car?!" I asked in disbelief. He nodded. "Harry you bought me a house like no more than a month ago. Now you bought me a car?!"

"Well, I bought us a house. Not just you. But yeah, I bought you a car." He replied. "Do you like it?"

"I love it." I told him. "But you really didn't have to do this. I don't want you to think that you need to spend money on me."

He shook his head. "Lou it isn't like you asked for the car. I wanted to get it for you. And I knew if I got you anything else you'd probably kill me, so this is your birthday and Christmas present."

I felt a little relieved that he didn't get me anything else. "Thank you H." I said, wrapping my arms around him and kissing him passionately.

The kiss quickly became heated. I jumped up and wrapped my legs around him as he carried me inside.

"You mean you don't want to christen the car?" I asked half sarcastically.

He laughed softly against my lips. "We'll save that for another time."

He carried me into our bedroom and proceeded to undress me. I reached over and grabbed the lube and a condom and tossed them onto the bed. I helped Harry undress being as he was taking too long and I didn't want to wait.

"Come on babe." I pushed.

Once out of his clothes, he pounced on top of me, pushing me onto my back and laying on top of me. He kissed me urgently, showing how much he wanted me as he grinded himself down onto my naked body. I moaned at the sensation of our cocks rubbing together. He noticed and took both of our lengths into his large hand.

"Fuck Harry." I panted.

"That would be where this is going, yes." He replied sarcastically.

I smacked his arm lightly. "Don't be a smart ass. It doesn't look good on you." I mumbled.

"Lou. Everything looks good on me." He replied with a chuckle.

"Touché. You suck."

"Hmm. Good idea." He responded and he immediately went down and wrapped his mouth around my dick.

I jumped at the sudden warmth. My hands gripped the bedsheets as he sucked me off like a damn professional. When I started to get the feeling like I was close, I began to thrust upwards into Harry's mouth. I guess he could tell where I was going with it because he slowed down and opened the lubricant, covering his fingers in the slick liquid. He wasted no time in opening me up. It took a lot not to cum during it, but Harry grabbed the base of my cock and squeezed to stop me from finishing too early. I watched as Harry put the condom on slowly.

"H, seriously hurry up!" I said sternly.

"Alright, alright." He laughed, kissing up my body until his dick was at my entrance.

He no longer had to look at me for permission. We started to be able to read each-other's both language. It made things so much easier and more passionate. He knew when I was in pain without me even having to tell him, and he knew when something felt extra good. He pushed in slowly, teasing me as he pulled back after every inch. On the third time he went to do this, I grabbed his hips and pulled him into me quickly. The sudden fill burned for a second but ultimately felt amazing.

"Fuck Lou." He moaned.

"Yeah, that would be what you're doing." I joked, using his smartass comment from earlier.

He chuckled and leaned down to kiss me. He thrusted into me at a steady pace, letting his tongue memorize my mouth more than it already has. It felt amazing but I couldn't help but want more.

"Harry?" I said.

"Yeah babe?" He panted.

"Be rough with me." I told him.

"Are you sure? I don't want to hurt you." He said concerned.

"Babe. You're not going to hurt me." I replied. "Fuck. Me. Hard." I commanded.

When I said that, he pulled out of me, flipping me onto my stomach. He pulled my hips up so I was on my hands and knees.

"If that's what you want, that's what you'll get." He said.

He shoved back into me harshly, gripping my hips so tight I knew there would be bruises by morning. He began to thrust into me so hard that I was having trouble staying on my knees. After only a small number of thrusts, I was pushed down onto my stomach as he continued to pound into me. I felt him lay on top of me and his fingers went into my hair. All of a sudden, he pulled my hair roughly making my head pull backwards.

"Is this rough enough for you baby?" He asked, voice wrecked from the pleasure. He used his tight grip on my hair to turn my head slightly. He then leaned down and started sucking a love bite into my neck. "Is this what you wanted?"

"Fuck. YES!" I shouted. I absolutely loved the feeling of being completely dominated by Harry. The friction of him fucking me into the mattress had me approaching my high rapidly. "Close babe. I'm so close."

"Me too." He breathed, fucking into me as hard as he possibly could. "Cum with me." He demanded and that's all it took.

I came onto the sheets with a shout of Harry's name as he filled the condom shouting profanities. He fucked us through both of our highs. As we calmed down, he pulled out of me and went to dispose of the condom. I got up and began taking off the sheets, as we clearly were going to need new ones.

"So," Harry said as he came behind me, cleaning me softly with a wet cloth. "You like it rough sometimes hm?"

I laughed. "It's hot." I said simply. "Not all the time. I like when you just make love to me. But sometimes, it makes it hot."

He smiled and kissed my cheek. "It was hot. We'll have to do it again."

I smiled at how compatible we are, and how everything we do always ends up being the best. He went to get rid of the cloth and as I brought in new sheets, he helped me make the bed. After we were done, we climbed in and cuddled close.

"Happy Birthday Lou. I love you." He said simply.

"Thank you Harry. I love you too." I replied and we drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, we both woke up to Kayden jumping on our bed.

"WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!" She shouted. "SANTA CAME! YOU HAVE TO GET UP SO WE CAN GO DOWNSTAIRS AND OPEN PRESENTS!"

We both groaned but knew there was no way we could make her wait. We sleepily walked downstairs, even though it was only six in the morning. Harry made tea and then we cuddled up on the couch and watched Kayden open her presents. It was the best Christmas morning I have ever had.

Later that morning, as K was busy playing with all of her new toys, I decided to give Harry his gift.

"What's this?" He said as he looked at the wrapped envelope.

"Your present." I said as if it was obvious. "Open it."

He smiled and opened the wrapping, then opened the envelope and pulled out the small stack of papers.

"Application by mother and/or father to re-register their child's birth to add the natural father's details." He read out loud. He looked slightly confused as he read them, but then looked up at me with tears in his eyes. "Lou. Is this-?"

"Yeah. I thought we could edit Kayden's birth certificate to put you on it." I explained softly. "I didn't know what else to get you, so I thought maybe-"

I was cut off by his lips pressed against mine. He brought his hand to my cheek and rubbed it softly with his thumb. I could tell this wasn't an I want you kiss, but more of an I love you kiss.

"This is the best present I have ever gotten." He said honestly. "Thank you so much!"

I smiled, wiping a tear from his cheek. "I'm glad you like it." I replied.

The rest of the day couldn't have gone any better. With the exception of me still feeling sick every once in a while, everything was perfect. And what made it even better was when Kayden told Harry and I that it was her favorite Christmas ever.
