Harry's POV:

'Come on TJ, were going home' I walked up to her as she tried to hide behind Perrie. I reached out for her but she ran around the other side of Perrie. 'Come on sweetie' I asked of her as I followed her around. 'TJ come on' I stopped following her hoping she would stop running away from me.

'No, I wanna stay here' she frowned at me as she hugged Perrie by the waist

'We're going home!' I picked her up and she kicked her legs around and tried pushing me away. I began to walk out despite her throwing a tantrum.




'Aunty Perrie, no, no' she extended her hands to Perrie who followed us out to the car.

'Im sorry sweetie' I heard Perrie say. I opened the car door and placed TJ on the seat. She screamed and kicked making it difficult for me to put her seat belt on. 'TJ stop it!' I said sternly which made her stop moving but now made her cry. I finally got her buckled up and closed the door and proceeded to the drivers seat.

I started the engine and looked out the window before driving off. Perrie was crying and Zayn stood by her trying to comfort her.

I reserved out of the driveway and drove home with TJ crying non stop. Thank goodness it was only a 3 minute drive home or I would have probably gone partially deaf by her wailing. I honestly don't know what's happening with her, she's never been like this before, drowning, running away. What's going on? I thought maybe she just really misses Sammie. But not to the extent that she would run away from home.

I pulled over at the driveway and saw from the rear mirror TJ hurried to unbuckle her seatbelt and opened the door. But because of the safety lock she yelled in frustration as she failed to escape. I got out of the car and let her out. Immediately, she ran inside the house. I locked the doors and followed her inside.






'Teee-Jayy' I called out as she ran up the stair case. 'Taleiah Jennavive Robertson Styles, you come back here!' she knows I only used her full name when I really needed her to listen to me. I went upstairs and found her crying under her blanket. I decided to let her be by herself for now, to give her some time to calm down because trying to talk to a child during this time, you would get nothing but ignorance, screaming and crying.

Later that night, at the Malik residence


Zayn slowly opened the bedroom door, Perrie was laying on the bed with her back facing him. He walked to the bed and sat next to her. Since Harry left with Taleiah, Perrie has been in the bedroom unresponsive to Zayn all night.

'Perrie, babe,you haven't had dinner yet' he rubbed her back. Perrie didn't respond she wiped her teary eyes and snivelled. Zayn stood up and took a look at her before turning to head out.

'Babe' Perrie finally spoke when she felt him leave her side. She turned around to face him and he sat back down. Perrie sat up to talk to him, she kept her head down nervous of what she was about to ask for.




'I....' she fidgeted with her fingers.






'I wanna have kids of our own' she looked up to his eyes.

Harry's POV:

'Of course babe. I wasn't going to let her go without food' I spoke to Sammie as I went upstairs with a bowl of pasta and a juice box.

'Yes, yes I'll talk to her' I assured her. I told Sammie what happened and of course as any parent she was worried. So worried that she was going to fly back home to help look for her. But I explained to her that TJ went to Zayn's house and she was a bit more relief about our daughter's choice of place.

'I'll call you later, love you' I hanged up.

I walked in the children's room and JM was already asleep while TJ was seating on her bed drawing with her crayons.




'TJ, Daddy's bought you food...' I sat on her bed. She continued with her picture and ignored my presence, which I wasn't bothered by. She's my daughter, regardless of what she does she can never push me away from her. With what happened today, I was upset at what she did but only because I was worried on what could have happened to her.

'Are you hungry?' I moved closer to her.

She finally looked up at me and gave me a nod. I took a spoon of macaroni and lifted it up to her mouth. She moved closer and took the food in with her mouth.

I let out a smile to see that she wasn't being stubborn or throwing a fit anymore. I fed her another spoonful at which she gladly took in. 'I brought you juice' I told her as I punctured the straw into the hole.




'Thank you daddy' she spoke. I flashed her a smile as I handed her the drink.






-
TJ managed to finish to finish the whole of pasta I served her which meant that she was really hungry but was going to suppress her hunger in an effort to avoid talking to anyone. She went back to finishing her drawing after she finished drinking her juice.

'TJ, daddy wants to talk to you' I tilted my head slightly down to meet her eyes. She put her crayon down and met my gaze.

'I don't want you to do that again, okay?' I used a calm, conversational tone. 'Don't think that anyone is mad because you broke a plate' I told her. Lauren told me it was the reason why TJ ran off. 'It was only an accident' I assured her. 'Your more important to me than anything you may break' I stroked her hair.



'Sowie daddy' she crawled the short distance towards me and wrapped her arms around my neck.

'It's okay' I embraced her in relief of the good turn out of the conversation. I gave her a kiss on the head and rubbed her back before she pulled away.


'Dad are you gonna be home tomorrow?' she asked as she crossed her legs to seat down.

'Umm, no I'm not, Dad's got work tomorrow' I replied which disappointed her.

'Can I comee' she pouted.

'You can't sweetie you have school' I replied.

'But after school?' she moved closer to me and pressed her two palms together in a praying positon.

'After I go to work the big boys and I are going out for Uncle Niall's birthday' I told her.

'Nawwh' she frowned when she realise I won't be able to spend time at home with her. And I couldn't do anything to change my work schedules either. Especially, since we still had James as our manager.

'How about I drop you off to school before work?' I tried to make it up to her. She let out a huge smile revealing her dimple.

'Dad can I sleep in yours and mummy's room?' TJ asked.

'How about tomorrow instead sweetie, so that JM can also sleep there' I replied to be fair to both of them.

'Are we the only ones allowed to sleep there?' she questioned.

'Yes of course and your the ONLY other girl that's allowed to sleep in our bed' I told her.

'How come?' she wondered.

'Because sweetie....' here I was again trying to think of an analogy to explain to my 4 year old why opposite gender sleep on the same bed.

'When I let a girl sleep on my bed it means I really really love them a lot and you know that only you and your Mum are the most special girls in the world to me' I let out a smile after saying those words.

'But how about Grandma Anne?' she asked about my Mum.

'Umm sweetie, that's different' I chuckled, here we go again, me getting her confused with my analogy. 'She's my Mum, she doesn't need to sleep on my bed' I tried to explain.

'Ohhh' she muttered.

I placed my hand on her right cheek and gave her a message that every father hoped his daughter will remember. 'So when your older and you let a boy sleep in your bed you have to make sure that he really really loves you' I imparted on her.



'Like you and Mummy?' she asked.







'Like me and your Mum' I flashed her a smile.
