Chapter dedications to all the new readers ♥
__________________________

Harry and Louis enter the living room after their talk in the bedroom to see Leilani getting tickled by Gemma and Lynn hitting Lyra's face with a cushion while the girl sits with her arms crossed with an 'I'm so done with this' look on her face. Harry giggles at the sight and that makes everyone stop what they're doing and look at him, making him blush.

"Oops!" He laughs. "Sorry to ruin your moment, but we got to order dinner... my treat!" He says and everyone cheers.

"Pizza?" Leilani asks and Harry walks over to pick her up and sets her on his hip.

"Anything you wish for, boo." He kisses her cheek, making her blush at the attention.

"I thought, I was your boo?" Louis crosses his arms and sits on the couch, next to Lyra as Harry walks in to the kitchen.

"The key word is 'was'. I'm in love with someone else now." He says and places Lanny on the counter before kissing her head. He walks to the living room while tying his hair up in a bun on the way and getting the phone before dialing the pizza parlor as he walks back into the kitchen.

Louis just shakes his head with a smile while scrolling through Netflix, trying to decide on a film.

Harry stands against the counter beside Lanny as he places the order of pepperoni pizzas. Lanny reaches her hand up to poke at his bun and giggles to herself as Harry turns to her and smiles softly.

"Alright. Thank you." He ends the call and fully turns to the adorable girl next to him. "You like that?" He asks, touching his bun and Leilani nods.

"Yup! Your hair is so pretty, Papa. Can you tie my hair into a bun too?" She asks and Harry grins at her as he nods.

"I'd love to, dumpling. Your hair is quite pretty too.. it's texture is a lot like Daddy's." He smiles and then something clicks inside his head as he takes a step back to look at the girl from head to toe. His eyes widens as he opens his mouth. "Louehh!?" He yells and hears as Louis trips, trying to get up of the couch as he notices the urgency in his boyfriend's voice.

"What? What happened? Are you both okay?" He asks as he stumbles into the kitchen to see Harry's shocked and Lee's confused faces.

"She looks like us.." Harry says, pointing at the girl and Louis lets out a laugh.

"I know right? She looks like our love child." He says, wrapping his arms around Harry's waist and placing his chin on his shoulder. Harry nods and then smiles wide.

"Can you both kiss now?" Leilani asks and Harry giggles before turning and pecking Louis' lips, keeping it short and clean for the sake of the little girl's innocence. Little Leilani squeaks and blushes, making both the boys coo at her.

When the pizzas arrive, everyone is piled up on the living room floor, watching Frozen. Gemma is at one foot of the couch, Lynn cuddled up to her and Lyra at the other foot of the couch. Louis is in the middle with his chin over Harry's head, who's sitting between the older man's legs with his arms wrapped around Leilani, who settled herself on her Papa's lap. And Gemma may or may not have sneakily taken some pictures of the three cuddled up like a cute little family.

Lyra brings in the pizzas, paying the cash Harry had given her. Everyone moves from their cuddled positions so no one makes a mess as they enjoy the movie and pizza. Leilani moves to sit a little near the TV as the adults engage themselves in chatting with each other.

"So what was it like to live without Louis?" Gemma asks, taking a bite of the slice of pizza.

"A nightmare really.. I felt like I just lost everything in just one moment. Mom and dad were being very strong for me though. And I think the twins helped me a lot through it.. they're lovely." Harry smiles at the thought of the girls.

"Did you try to move on?" Lynn asks, looking curiously at Harry and Louis who's face is now set into a frown as the younger boy nods at the question.

"I did. I tried dating quite a few people from college, but I just felt uncomfortable on the first date itself. I convinced myself that it was happening because I didn't know any of the boys very well so.... I tried dating Niall." Harry says truthfully.

"You what?!" Louis exclaims, a piece of pepperoni falling out of his mouth as Harry bites his lip nervously.

"I went on quite a few dates with Niall. What was I supposed to do? Everyone was trying to talk me into moving on and seeing other people." He says and everyone nods in understanding.

"But like.. just some dates rights? That's it right?" Louis ask and Harry can see him visibly gulp when he shakes his head.

"We kind of went as far as making out and grinding a bit.. but that's all." Harry admits and everyone turn to look at Louis, who slowly nods before speaking.

"Well, I should've known this was coming. I mean, you thought I was dead after all. It's not your fault, even if you caught feelings for someone else.. it wouldn't have been cheating, considering the situation." Louis rambles, frowning at the floor as he tries to play it cool, but miserably failing. Even a blind person could hear it in his voice how upset he is.

Harry moves the box of pizza aside and crawls over to Louis before sitting between his legs and hugging the love of his life. He pulls back to cup Louis' face so he could look in his eyes.

"It never went any further than that because it felt wrong to me and I ended up crying the whole night, feeling like I cheated on you." He says, touching his forehead with louis'. "I've tried, but I could never bring myself to feel anything for anyone else. You know why?" He whispers softly.

"Why?" Louis asks, whispering just as softly and Harry smiles.

"Because my love for you has only grown when you weren't there. It made me realize what I'm missing and how no one else could ever make me feel the way you did just with a single touch. I just couldn't manage to fall out of love for you because you're the love of my life. I've never ever seen a future with anyone but you. If anyone else would've lied to me so much like you did, I would've probably spat on their face before turning away and never looking back... but I can't do that to you, my heart doesn't agree. I love you and it's never going to change, not two years later or two decades later or two eternities later." He promises, his vision blurry by the tears as he leans and kisses Louis' lips to seal the promise.

"I love you too. So, so, much." Louis grins despite the tears filled up in his eyes as he kisses Harry again, and again, and just one more time. "Plus.. there's no such thing as 'two eternities' unless you're SpongeBob." He chuckles as Harry pushes him lightly.

Both the boys keep looking at each other as if they're the only people in the room. As if the little girl that's now staring at them or the boy that's grinning at them or the ladies smiling at them with tears in their eyes while one of them holding her phone to record the moment just don't exist or aren't present in the same room.

"If you loved me enough, you'd know that I live in a pineapple under the sea." Harry jokes and Louis snorts, softly wiping the taller boy's cheeks before wiping his own on the sleeve of his shirt. They turn to Leilani as she sneezes.

"Bless you." Both of them say at the same time and the girl giggles.

"Marry already, you soulmate fuckers!" Lyra rolls her eyes, wiping her own cheeks.

"Language!" Leilani says, making the old girl stick her tongue out to the little one.

"Alright, I think we should leave. Lynn c'mon, time to go homo." She jokes and everyone laughs. "Bye guys! Goodnight!" She yells as she walks to the door and bends down to put her shoes on, Lynn following suit.

"Goodnight, lovebirds and the little lovebug!" Lynn yells over his shoulder as the twins walk out of the door.

"I got to go too, boys. Lee, you wanna join me tonight?" Gemma asks the little girl, wanting to give the newly reunited couple a little privacy for the night, but Leilani shakes her head.

"Nope. I want to cuddle with papa tonight." She says and Harry grins, he's already deeply in love with this little ball of joy. Gemma rolls her eyes when she sees Harry's face, but nods nonetheless.

"Well, okay then. See you guys tomorrow!" She says and gets up to leave. After a kiss on both her brothers' heads and her niece' cheek, she's out the door.

"Bed time!" Leilani cheers and Harry joins her with a "Yay!" as Louis rolls his eyes, his heart bursting with love, fond and adoration for both his babies.
