Background Boy's Sister

{Harry's POV}

"Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One!" The crowd yells.

"Happy New Year!" We all cheer.

I passionately kiss Taylor's lips.

"Eww!" Niall says.

I pull away and look at Niall.

"Seriously Niall! Nearly everybody but you and Liam are kissing! Eleanor and Lou, Zayn and Perrie, those people, those people, get a girl!" I say kissing Taylor again.

"Whatever," I hear Niall mumble.

"Happy New Year Harry," Taylor smiles.

"Happy New Year!" I reply.

{Ava's POV}

"Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One!" James and I cheer.

Lilli squeals.

"Happy New Year Lil!" James kisses her forehead.

"Happy New Year Ava," He hugs me.

"Happy New Year Uncle Jimmy!" I reply for Ava and me. James is my brother which makes him Lilli's Uncle.

"I shall go and get her crib ready," James stands up and walks out of the living room.

"Come on Lil, bed time," I pick her out of the jolly jumper.

I take Lilli to her bedroom. It's the smallest room in the house. It was supposed to be the storage or study area but it's the perfect size for a one year old's nursery.

James and I painted it white originally. We also bought a white wooden crib, chair, wardrobe, bassinet and change table. When Lilli was born, James went out and bought pale pink paint and pale pink with white polka dots wallpaper.

When I came home from the hospital, he had done up her room. There is now one polka dot feature wall, three other pale pink walls, a cute rug, chair, toy box, crib, change table, wardrobe and a heart mobile above her crib.

We put the crib into her room when she was four months and had outgrown the bassinet.

I think the saddest thing is that Mum and Dad have not once come to see her. Dad lives in Australia and Mum in England. But, they're still together. Yeah! Dad works away and works two months then comes back two months. They haven't even texted or emailed either James or I.

I place Lilli on the change table and James puts her into her sleep suit. I fix up the crib for her. James hands Lilli to me.

"Night Lilli," he kisses her forehead. She smiles at James.

"Good night beautiful," I kiss her and out her into the crib.

"Wight Mumma," she mumbles. I smile at her, turn off the light and leave.

I walk across the hall and into the bathroom. James is brushing his teeth. I brush mine, kiss his cheek and walk into my room. James let me have the slightly bigger room because it is next to Lilli's nursery. James' bedroom is across the hall from us.

I hope this new year is great!

{Still Ava's POV}

I buckle Lilli into her seat and hop into the drivers seat of the car. I have a little red Hyundai i20. James gets quite a bit of money as you would expect, and he bought the i20 for me just after Lilli was born. He has a big Fiat Freelander. I'm not sure why he needs a seven seater but it kind of looks manly so....

Lilli and I are going to pick James up from the studio. I now know all of the shortcuts to the studio, because trust me, New York is a killer any time of the day, especially in a small car.

We actually live in Brooklyn, in the family sort of area of Brooklyn. So it's safe for Lilli.

I pull up at some lights. A van with heavily tinted windows pulls up next to us. Woah! Someone famous obviously!

"Mumma, I ungry," Lilli says. I look back.

"I don't have anything to eat Lilli," I reply. Her eyes start to tear up.

"Hey, don't cry!" I tickle her tummy. "We'll be at Uncle Jimmy's work soon and you can get some yogurt," I say. "Does that sound good?" I ask.

She nods her head up and down. I smile and wait for the lights.

Soon enough we are at the studio. I find a park, grab my phone and purse, slide the phone into my pocket and then open Lilli's door. I grab her out and put her on my hip. I grab the baby bag and then I lock the car and we walk in.

I walk into the waiting room and sit down on one of the couches.

"Hi Ava!" Emma the receptionist smiles.

"Hey Em," I reply.

"Hello Lilli!" She smiles.

"Emmaaa!" She squeals. We laugh. I place Lilli on the ground and she stands up and leans on my knees.

"How many fingers is Mumma holding up?" I ask holding up three fingers. She can only count to four, which is actually pretty good for a one year old.

"Tee!" She says. I laugh. The front door opens and six figures walk in. Five boys and one girl. Three of the boys and the girl all have glasses and beanies on. The two other boys have flat caps and glasses. They look familiar. When they sit across from me I realise who they are.

One of the guys in a beanie takes off his beanie to reveal a brown, bleached blonde quiff. I know who that is anywhere.

I quickly look back down to Lilli.

"Mumma! ogurt!" She says.

"Only a few minutes Lil," I reply.

"Udle Jimmy! ogurt!" She yells.

"Lilli!" I say picking her up.

"Pwease!" She squeals.

James walks in.

"Look Lilli!" I point to James.

"Udle Jimmy!" She yells climbing off the couch, slowly and waddle running over to James.

"Hello Lilli!" He picks her up.

"Pwease ogurt?" She asks. James looks confused.

"Yogurt," I say.

"Ahh! Will Mummy come and we'll get some yogurt?" James asks.

She looks back and forth frantically between me and James. I can't help but laugh as her little curly pig tails bounce up and down.

"Don't know?" she holds her hands out in confusion.

"How about you stay with Mumma and I will go and get you some yogurt," James hands Lilli to me.

"Does that sound good?" I ask.

"Stawbee!" She squeals.

"Okay Lil," James laughs handing me his bag and walking away.

I go and sit down.

"Where do ogurt um fum?" Lilli asks.

"Cows," I reply.

"Moooooooo!" She says and then laughs at herself. I laugh. I notice the girl giggling at her. The boys are all on their phones.

I can't tell if that's Eleanor or Danielle with her hair straightened. I think Danielle and Liam are still together. I don't know?

The hair is too dark for Dani, it must be Eleanor. I don't dare let her see my face too much, she'll know it's me right away.

James walks back out and sits down next to me.

"Here you go Lil," he hands her the spoon. She pouts at him. He hands her the bowl.

"Wait Lilli," I say reaching into the baby bag and I grab a bib before placing it on her. "Don't get yogurt on the couch please," I say. She nods and shoves the spoon into the yogurt before putting it in her mouth.

I look up and see Taylor walk out.

"Hey Lilli!" She smiles.

"Taywor!" She squeals showing half the contents of her mouth. I grab the bowl and catch the spoon as she gets off the couch.

"Hi A," she waves at me.

"Hi Taylor," I reply.

"How are you Lil?" She picks her up and hugs her. Taylor's always been so good to Lilli, James and I.

"Good!" Lilli replies giving her a sloppy kiss. Taylor just laughs.

"Do you want to come and finish your yogurt Lilli?" I ask.

"Okay Mumma!" She yells. I swear she always yells. Taylor hands her too me.

James feeds her and as I sit her on my lap. Taylor sits next to me.

"How are you A?" She asks.

"Good thanks! You?" I reply.

"Great! So, when's Lilli's birthday?" Taylor asks.

"She's two in February," I reply.

"Feby second!" She yells. The boys look up.

"Taylor!" Niall says. I know it's Niall. The accent says it all.

"Hey Babe!" One says. Well, Harry says. She walks over and sits in between harry and who I presume is Zayn, by the skin colour. I look along the line. Now it's Harry, Taylor, Zayn, Niall, Liam, Louis and then Eleanor.

I notice Zayn is staring right at me. I quickly look down at Lilli. Lilli's not there. James is looking out the window.

"James! Where's Lilli?" I hit his arm.

"She is on you laaaaap," he realises she isn't there.

"Lilli!" I say. No reply. Shit. I look around. The bowl and the spoon are gone as well.

I notice a big splat of yogurt near a door.

"James, where does that lead to?" I ask.

"The garage, why?" James asks. He notices the yogurt.

"Shit!" He says jumping up.

I jump up.

"Lilli!" I yell. We run into the garage. There are trucks moving everywhere.

"Lilli!" I scream.

I hear a giggle. Crap!

"Lilli Gemma!" James yells. She giggles again. I race one way, James the other.

"Lilli!" I yell. There are huge forklifts and crates everywhere.

"Lilli!" I scream. There's still no reply.

"Lilli!" I yell really loud.

"Mumma!" She screeches. I run as fast as I can in the direction the noise came from. I see Lilli standing where a big truck is coming.

"Lilli!" I scream. Suddenly someone grabs her and sprints towards us. Just as they get out of the way the truck goes over where Lilli was.

The person walks up with a crying Lilli.

"Thank you so much!" I say taking Lilli as she wraps her arms around my neck.

"No worries," the English accent says. I look up and see Zayn standing there.

"Hi," I say.

"Hello Ava," he replies.

"Thank you so much!" I say.

"Don't worry," he smiles.

"What can I do? To repay you?" I ask.

"Nothing," Zayn says.

"Really?" I ask.

"Actually, can I see you again, I need to talk to you," he says.

I look at him weirdly.

"You know I'm not an idiot, two this year," he looks at Lilli. "You can't deny who her father is, I'll bring Niall with me, please," Zayn says.

"You've got it wrong," I say.

"Really Ava? She even looks like him, come on! Anywhere you want, please! I'll bring Niall, Liam, Louis, Eleanor, Perrie even, please Ava," Zayn says.

"Fine! Bring Niall," I roll my eyes.

"Got a number?" He asks.

"Here," I hand him my phone. He hands me his.

I put my number in and address.

"Come to my house," I say.

"When?" Zayn asks.

"When are you free?" I reply.

"All tomorrow," Zayn replies.

"Twelve tomorrow," I reply.

He nods.

"Don't tell anybody but Niall!" I instruct.

"I wont, promise!" Zayn says walking away. I know Zayn, he has never broken a promise. Ever.

I walk back in. James is pacing. He turns around and sighs in relief. I notice there are only Taylor, Niall, Zayn and Eleanor on the couch now.

"Thank God!" Taylor jumps up.

"How did you fins her?" James asks.

"I had help," I say looking at Zayn through the corner of my eye.

"Shall we go?" James asks.

"Better, thanks for the yogurt," I say.

"Anything for Lilli," Taylor rubs her head.

"Bye," we walk away. What have I gotten myself into. I said I would never get involved with Harry again, but still, his girlfriend loves me and I'm having two of his bandmates over tomorrow, great!
