After bidding Zayn goodbye Harry came to his room and slept beside Zayra, humming some lullabies to her, while she slept with a soft smile on her face. "She must be tired", he thought.

They had spent the whole day chilling, talking, playing with each other. And it would be a lie if  Harry had said that his heart didn't do back flips whenever Zayn called her "Pumpkin" instead of Zayra.

At dinner, when, Zayra demanded him to feed her but Harry clearly denied it saying that she needed to learn eating by herself all the time now, Zayn pulled her on his lap and said,"No, princesses don't eat by themselves, daddy's feed them." And started feeding her, he couldn't say his heart melt.

He couldn't miss the look Zayra gave Zayn after he said the word "Daddy". He wished, he could tell her that her daddy loved her and was currently feeding her. He knew, no matterhow hard he tried to convince her that her daddy loved her and was just busy right now, she believed, her Daddy didn't love her that's why he was never there.

He sighed sadly then leaned down to press a kiss on her daughter's forehead.
"I love you baby girl.", he whispered and leaned back.

He fetched the phone from his pocket and looked at his lockscreen. He smiled looking at it.

It was a pic of him and Zayn with Zayra in betwen them in the tub while they both were outside of it.

He smiled at the memory of today.

"Um, let's go pumpkin, time for your bath.", He said, picking up his daughter in his arms. She and Zayn were currently watching some cartoon show in the living room while  Harry was doing the dishes in the kitchen. When he came back, the sight made him mentally cooing an 'Aww'. Zayra was snuggled into Zayn's chest while Zayn's arms were around her, holding her in a protective manner. He didn't want to break their moment but he knew, he had to, it was getting late and Zayra needed to take her bath and to be put in bed.

"But dada, I want unkie Zaynie.", she said after Harry had told her she needed to take her bath. She wrapped her arms around Zayn tightly, not wanting to letting him go just now. Zayn looked like he didn'f want to let go of Zayra either, but he knew he had to. Zayra had school the next day after all.

"Princess? ", Zayn asked Zayra. She looked up at him with puppy dog eyes.

"Go and take a bath? I promise, I'll meet you tomorrow at the school. Okay?", Zayn asked, making her nod and pout.

Harry looked at them amused. He couldn't believe that Zayra had trusted Zayn that soon, he can see how much his daughter already loved Zayn. It's unbelievable. But maybe that's what called the father daughter bond.

"Um, you want to come and help me or you want to watch some tv?", Harry asked Zayn after taking Zayra in his arms. He was looking sad, already missing his Pumpkin on his side. Zayn looked up at him as if to ask if he heard him right and when Harry nodded, his sad face lit up like Christmas lights and he nodded vigorously.

Harry smiled and said, "Okay, follow me upstairs then", and Zayn nodded again.

They went upstairs in his room and opened the bathroom door. He put Zayra down in the bathroom floor and looked behind himself and saw Zayn was standing at the door awkwardly.

"You know, you can come in right?", Harry asked him, laughing softly while filling the bath tub.

"Um,yeah. It's just that, I'd never given any girl bath before. I was a lonely child and well, I have always you know liked boys. So erm..", scratching the back of his neck he said.

Harry laughed softly and said, "Don't worry, there's always a first time. I had mine, let me help you in yours.".

"Okay. Thanks Harry.", Zayn smiled gratefully.

"No problem. Now come in and pour the soap in the tub to make some bubble.", he said in a baby voice.

"Harryyy, I know this step.", he whinned making Harry and Zayra both chuckle.

"Okay, okay. I get it. We won't do that again right pumpkin?", he said, again in a teasing tone. Zayra giggled making Zayn pout again.

Zayn did as Harry said then put Zayra in the tub. They both started washing her. While Zayn did her hair, Harry scrubbed her body. She never atopped giggling and Harry, for sure knew, she was having the best time of her life by the smile she was giving them both.

They splashed the water at each other, not caring about their clothes and laughed wholeheartedly. He looked at Zayn who was making a crown on Zayra's head with the soap buble and ge noticed, Zayn and Zayra had the same smile. Tongue caught in between teeth and eyes crinkle. The only difference they had was Zayra had dimples like Harry while Zayn didn't.

"Okay, time for some pictures", Harry said after Zayn was done with the soap crown. They both nodded. Zayra stood in the bath tub with the crown on her head while Zayn and Harry sat putside of the tub, kissing Zayra's each cheek while she smiled cutely, and Harry took the selfie. They took some more cute pictures in the bathroom and then walked out of it after wrapping her up in a fluffy towel.

Zayn carried her to the room and Harry took out some of her night clothes from the closet and Zayn carefully put them on her.

"Um, you go and change into dry clothes, I'll put her in the bed. I guess, she sleeps in here?", Zayn asked while Harry nodded.

"Alright.", Zayn nodded and took her in his arms and moved to the middle of the bed to lay her down.

Harry took out some of his clothes and an extra pair for Zayn as well. He knew, Zayn would need that. And put that extra pair on the bed. Zayn looked at him, confused.

"After I change, you can change too. I guess, I you wouldn't like to drive all the way home in those wet clothes.", Harry smiled at Zayn and Zayn returned him one too.

He nodded and went to the bathroom. He quickly took a hot shower and put some clothes on. He could hear him faintly humming a song to Zayra while showering and smiled. He walked out of the bathroom and saw Zayra sleeping, making him smile.

Zayn walked towards him and placed a hand on his cheek.

"Hey?", Zayn whispered and smiled.

Harry looked down shyly.

He lifted his chin up and placed a lingering kiss on his forehead, making Harry blush and smile.

"Thanks for everything", Zayn said.

Harry smiled and nodded.

Zayn smiled and took the clothes from the bed and went into the bathroom.

Harry blushed and walked towards the bed. He slept beside his daughter.

"I just hope, it's not a bad dream again baby girl", he whispered again and kissed her chubby cheek.

Zayn walked out of the bathroom after sometimes, looking freshly showered and cute in his clothes.

Harry got up from his bed and walked towards him. He stood in front of him.

"So, I guess, it's my time to go?", Zayn whispered.

Harry looked down and whispered a "Yeah"

"Harry"

He still didn't look up. So he took his chin between his index finger and thumb and lifted his face up.

"I promise, it's not a bad dream again. If anything, I'll try to make it a dreamy reality for both you and Pumpkin. I promise.", Zayn said. Determination present in his voice.

Harry's eyes became teary and he did the one thing he needed the most at that time.

He hugged Zayn. He hugged him for dear life. Zayn too, held him tightly.

"We'll be okay?", Harry asked.voice muffled in Zayn's shoulder.

"We'll be okay", Zayn said.

They broke the hug and walked downstairs, hand in hand.

They stood in front of the door. No one wanted to let go of each others hand. Zayn hugged him. And Harry hugged him back.

"Promise you won't leave her?", Harry asked. Zayn felt the wetness on his shoulder.

"I promise I won't leave you guys, ever.", Zayn said and held him even more tightly.

They broke the hug and looked in to each others eyes. Harry still had tears in his eyes. Zayn looked at his lips but mentally shook his head. He pulled him into an another long hug. He knew, right now, Harry didn't need kiss. He needed to be held.
