From last chapter...

Then Lottie and Niall come, but they don't walk on the beat of the music, making Harry frown.

Why are they walking this fast?

Niall comes to a halt in front of him, saying something with an alarmed look in his eyes, but Harry can't process a word he's saying.

"Wh-what?"

"Louis is gone."

"What do you mean, Louis is gone?"

"He is nowhere to be found, that's the definition of gone, Gemma!" Niall yells back.

Everyone in the room is panicking as the music has stopped and all people can talk about is the missing groom.

Everyone is panicking except Harry. Harry is numb.

Niall is quick to collect himself, turning to the family and friends who've started to walk around all nervouslike.

"Alright plan of action, Jay and Lottie, you try calling Louis. Robin and Anne, you watch over the Styles and Tomlinson kids. Zayn, try keep Harry sane and Gemma and I will look for hi-"

"No, no, I'll go look for him." And before anyone could properly react, Harry bolts out of the room.

"And thus we've lost another groom," Niall sighs, looking at the door as it slams closed after his friend, "just peachy."

•••

"Lou?"

"Louis?"

"Louis please."

Harry walks through the hall of the building the ceremony is held in. It isn't too big and as he wanders the halls he is more and more convinced Louis is already on a plane to the Mexico, ready to change his name to Carlos and Liz will be María Elena and he'll never see them again.

"Lou?"

It's getting harder to breath and his tears are messing with his vision and he is sure there's tears on his shirt and it'll probably stain 'cause Gemma convinced him to wear mascara and he just can't collect his brain so it is surely shutting down.

He stops at the toilet, in need of a paper towel and some water to throw in his face. Hopefully that will clear his mind enough to think of where to look next.

"Oh god, oh god, oh god." He mumbles, looking in the mirror of the public bathroom, "you look kinda rough, Styles."

As he's looking in the mirror, he pats his pockets to find his phone grabbing it and looking at the screen to see the time.

Just great. A picture of Louis, of course.

His phone unlocks as his thumb presses the homebutton. And he starts tapping away, going to contacts and to the one he calls most often.

Ring.

"One," He starts counting the rings of the phone. How many until you get send to voice mail?

Ring.

"Two."

"I like big butts and I can not lie, you other brothers can't deny, that when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in your face-"

There is only one person in the world with that song set as their ringtone.

Well at least only one person in Harry's world.

"Hi, did I miss the wedding?"

The door to the toilet behind him opens, showing Louis sitting on the toilet - pants on but shirt unbottoned. Elizabeth sucking away on his nipple as if there's no tomorrow.

"Lou." Harry sighs, a weight lifting of his shoulder, "I knew you wouldn't run."

"Run?" Louis gasps, a dramatic look on his face, "Did you think of me as a runaway bride? The type that leaves a note and then sees herself out through the window of the bathroom? I thought I had left a better impression."

"Well, you start to think a whole lot when you stand at the alter without a groom and the best man of said groom runs in screaming the groom is gone and nowhere to be found." Harry chuckles.

"Oh god, that stupid leprechaun! I told him I was going to feed Liz 'cause otherwise she'd be sobbing and screaming through the ceremony. And since we're filming the ceremony I really didn't want her screams to be on there, can you imagine? This little lady has a fine set of lungs, she'd not be quiet for the whole hour. Anyway, I asked him to tell everyone to delay the wedding by a few minutes so I could breastfeed and get back into my suit, but he must have been distracted staring at Zayn playing with the kids, goddamned fuc-"

"Little ears, baby, no cursing." Harry winks, walking up to Louis seat and bending to give him a fast peck. "Is she almost done 'cause we are already 15 minutes late?"

"Yeah, she's about done. Will you burp her while I button up my shi- oh my god, Harry you seen my suit before the actual wedding!" Louis gasps, "I'm so sorry, I am so-"

"Don't worry, love, it's alright," Harry takes Elizabeth from his fiancés arms. "You look lovely by the way."

"Then wait until you see me in full gear, bowtie and jacket and everything." Louis jokes as he tries to button-up as fast as humanly possible, "You look lovely too, babe."

•••

"Louis, at last, do you take Harry as your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"Harry, do you take Louis as your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"Alright gents, you may kiss each other."

•••

"If it isn't my runaway son-in-law." Anne smirks as she walks up to Louis, who's dancing with Jay. "Can I have this dance?"

Jay grins, "sure thing, I'm off to the dessert buffet!" She pecks Louis' cheek and hands him over to Anne.

"I really didn't run away, Anne, Liz still needed to eat and she wouldn't all day but just before the wedding was supossed to start she was getting fussy and I knew she'd finally be hungry and I-"

"Babe, that's alright, you're here now and you look absolutely stunning. Harry is a lucky guy." She says, "You take such good care of him and the kids."

"I actually think it is the other way around," The new Styles-family-member laughs, "He keeps me together through all of it, from fussy kids to lack of sleep to burning dinner, he powers me through anything and makes it look like it was no effort."

"He really loves you."

"And I him."

Anne smiles, "I know, I can see it in the way you look at him. Even right now while we're dancing, your eyes wander every five seconds to check if he is still in his spot talking to Robin and Lottie."

"I just don't want to miss a thing when it comes to him, it is like every second without him is a second down the drain."

Hello everybody!

I feel like an absolute queen for updating 4 times this week, I am really trying to make it up to you. I have been so active on wattpad, making covers and working for this fanfic. If you can and are interested in book covers, please check out my cover book! I work hard on the covers I make and I feel like they aren't getting that much attention, which is fine but also really sucks 😅 anyway I'm trying to do a recycled covers flash sale soon but I will need more enthusiast to do that!

Anyway I guess they're now married!

Questions:
- do you want another chapter on the wedding, like giving more details?
- what's next?

Anyway I'm going to sleep.
