How Did You Meet Dad?

I was putting away Gabby's clothes when she and the other three girls burst into the room with a bag of chips in each of their arms. I smiled as I noticed the twins chomping down on their chips. They have the same bottomless pit stomach as their father. They are their Daddy's girls. Same with Gabby and Lydia. They are exactly like their Dads, but have mostly the same personalities as their Moms.

"Mom?" Gabby asked.

"Yeah?" I asked back.

"How did you meet Dad?"

"Well...that's a long story. Sit down and I'll tell you. Why the sudden interest, girls?" I asked as they ran to lay down on their stomachs on Gabby's bed.

"Talking about family at school." Jazz shrugged. I put down the basket of clothes and sat down in the chair across from the bed.

"Ah. Well, I was with both of your Moms at a One Direction concert. It was the first one I'd ever been to. Well, the first concert anyway. I was 14 and your Moms were a few months older than me. Kylie had made us our own 1D T-shirts and they were all different colors and styles.

"We had gotten front row tickets and I was super excited about being so close I could almost touch them. The concert started up and during, if I remember correctly, the third song, Sienna bumped into me as I was filming and my phone was sent flying up onto the stage. It landed right next to your father, Gabby."

"What happened? Did he step on it?" Gabby asked.

I laughed, shaking my head. "No. He almost did, though. He picked it up and put it in his jeans. He noticed me and my worried face and winked at me. At the time, I thought it was cocky or rude, then I calmed down when he mouthed to me that he would return it after the concert. After the concert I went backstage with Kylie and Sienna and they were there all laughing and talking while Niall ate some pizza, which was very delicious."

The girls laughed. "So what happened after that?" Lydia asked.

"Your Moms locked me and Harry in a room while they stayed with your Dads and Uncles. I was mortified. I mean, at the time, Hazza was my idol. I wanted to be just like him someday. We talked for a while and, when your parents finally decided to let us out, I was in the middle of a fake mild claustrophobic freak out."

They giggled. "What happened while you were in the closet?"

*Flashback*

"So that was your phone that I found?" Harry asked.

"Y-Yes...you can blame the brunette for that one. She really needs dance lessons." I replied.

Harry laughed. "Well, here you go. I kept it safe. Wouldn't want you to lose all your pretty selfies." he stated, holding my phone in his hand.

My face turned bright red. "You went through my pics? How rude!" I exclaimed mockingly, snatching my phone out of his hand.

"Sorry. They truly were pretty though. And that video of you and your friends doing that music video to Up All Night was cool." He complimented, rubbing at the back of his neck.

"You really liked that?" I asked.

"Yeah. We even put it online for all our Directioners to see."

"No shit." I said. "Thanks for keeping it safe."

"No problem. I never got your name, love." Harry stated as I reached for the door handle.

"Ebony. Ebony Matthews. I turned 14 today." I replied.

"Happy Birthday, Ebony."

"Thanks!"

"Can I take you on a birthday date?"

"Maybe. If we can get out of here. It's locked." I said, testing the door handle.

"Oh great." He exclaimed unhappily.

"Ooh. Lemme try something! I've seen this on TV lots of times." I said as I did a high kick to the doorknob. It hurt like hell. And it didn't work. "Ow! Shit! That fucking hurt!"

*Flashback end*

The girls were in hysterics as I told the story of how we met. "I have to admit it was the weirdest and most hilarious almost first dates I've had."

"I'll say." Trinity said.

I joined them in laughter and about five hours later they were asleep on the couch while I waited up for Harry and the boys. I heard the door open and say five figures come in quietly.

"You're back" I whispered. "the girls fell asleep waiting for you. I almost did too. You jerks!" I whisper-yelled.

"Sorry, Sis." I heard from Niall, Zayn, Louis and Liam.

"Sorry, Love. The bus-"

"It's alright. You four. Bed. Now. Hazza and I need to talk and you look like zombies." I cut Harry off.

"Goodnight." They chorused. Each picking up one of the girls and bringing them up to Gabby's room.

Once they were gone I turned to Harry and gave him a hug. "I told the girls about how we met. They just loved the fact that I kicked the doorknob."

"Who wouldn't?" Harry joked.

"I missed you." I said as we walked to our room.

"I missed you too, Ebby." Harry stated.

"When's your next tour?" I asked.

"Next year." Hazza replied.

"Good. We need more us time. I'm starting to miss you more and more everytime you leave."

"Same here. For now, go to sleep. I'm going to get changed and then I'll join you." Harry said with his very unique smile.

I yawned before kissing him and laying down in bed. Once Haz laid down and put his arms around me, I fell asleep. I felt so happy. I could now fall asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.

Notes

A bit sappy, but this was an apology for not updating my first story in six days. I was in the hospital with a concussion and slight memory loss. I couldn't remember ever writing a story, let alone putting it online. SOOOOOOO sorry! *begs for forgiveness* I won't update the original story until tomorrow, but I hope this will last you until then. Love you guys!
