Harry's POV:
'I couldn't let you stay out in the rain all night' Tania yelled over the crashing rain as she opened the gates of her house. 'Come on let's get you dried up' she sheltered me with her umbrella and we hurried our way back inside the house.

'Your stubborn Harry, I can see where your children got that from' Tania let out a small smirk after she had closed the door. 'Mrs. Robertson' a small voice popped up from behind. It was their maid extending her hands which held two comfy towels and a pair of trackies. 'Thanks dear' Tania took the towels and the maid left. I looked up the stairs wondering if Sammie and the kids were already asleep, I knew for sure this is was the place they would seek refuge in. 'Harry' Tania's voice brought my eyes back down to hers. 'Here why don't you get dried up 1st' she offered me the towels and the trackies. 'You can use the guest room upstairs on the right' she gave me a closed lip smile. I wasn't sure if Sammie had told her what happened because her demeanour contradicted a furious mother who threatens to kill their son in law after finding out he had cheated on their daughter (which of course is not true).'Sammie told me what happened' she informed me and to that my question was answered. 'Oh, but it's not-' I tried to explain myself but she cut me off. 'Harry, I'm not gonna jump into conclusions' she paused.

'It's different now….. Back then when things like this happen it's so easy for one of you to walk away' she recalled. 'But you've got children now…..think about how this is affecting them and how it WILL affect them' she reminded off my duties as a father. 'Thanks Tania' I replied with a smile. 'Now go upstairs and get dried up, your dripping all over my floor like a wet dog' she let out a small laugh and I joined her before heading up the stairs.


I entered the guest room and saw the bags that Sammie had left with this morning. Tania must have known Sammie was staying in this room, that's why she asked me to use the bathroom in here. I went into the bathroom and dried myself up. I took my shirt off and squeezed out all the water over the sink. I did the same with my pants and then hanged up my wet clothes on the towel rack. I put on the pair of trackies which belonged to Sammie's Dad and dried my hair with the towel. When I thought my floppy hair could not get any drier I went back in the room with the other towel draped over my back. I wasn't sure if I should go check on Sammie and the kids since it was late at night already. So I sat on the bed and stared at the bags on the floor. I buried my head in my hands and tried recalled the tumultuous event that had happened. I would never do it….not anymore…I would never cheat on Sammie… I couldn't have, I told myself. My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a small knock on the door. I looked up at the door and answered 'Come in'.
I stood up straightaway when the door revealed who the person was.

Samantha's POV:
'You can sleep in here I'll sleep in the other room with the children' I told Harry as I placed the mug down. I turned back around and walked pass him while keeping my head down. 'Sammie' he gently tugged on my left hand preventing me to move another step forward. I took a deep breath before facing him.



He came closer towards me with his hand remaining locked with mine. 'Babe…' his voiced cracked as he struggled give a worthy explanation. 'Will get through this right?' he asked with a worried tone '…For our children, we will' I tried to be strong for us. 'We'll talk tomorrow' I told him and he nodded. He took one step closer finally sealing the gap between us. He placed his hands on either of my cheek and slowly tilted his lips to make meets with mine. I could feel his warm breath escape from his lips and my body was ready for the warmth he was about to provide.


'Harry…..don't' my voice cracked. As much as I wanted him to kiss me, I couldn't let him, not with the emotional state I am in. I knew for sure his kiss would show just how much he really loves me and with a blink of an eye every pain, hurt, tears would be swept away by his love because that’s how powerful it was…..and I wasn't sure if I was fully ready to forget what had happened. His hands slowly left my cheek and I kept my head down not wanting to see the look on his face. But as stubborn as Harry is, he still managed to get his way. He placed a kiss on my forehead and softly bid me goodnight.

Harry's POV:
I was woken up by an early phone call from Simon's secretary asking for my presence in the office in an hour. I got my dried clothes and quickly put them on. There wasn't gonna be enough time to go home and get change and I don't think Uncle Sy would mind me rocking up like this right? I grabbed my keys and phone and went out to see my family first. I peeked through the door and found them still all asleep, with Sammie in the middle of the twins who cuddled warmly under her arms.
'Harry' a voice whispered down the corridors. It was Tania and Lucas. I slowly closed the door trying not to make a sound. 'You're leaving so soon?' Lucas asked. 'Yeah, Simon called me in for a meeting' I replied. 'Did you and Sammie talk?' Tania asked. 'A bit…but she said will today' I replied with a smile. 'That's good to know' Lucas responded. 'I'll just come back after lunch then, thanks for letting me stay the night' I told them. 'We're family Harry' Tania flashed me a smile before turning to Lucas who nodded in agreement. 'Thank you' I gave them one last smile before descending down the stairs.



I push down the door handle and took a step out of the door. 'Dahh-ddy' a familiar petite voice stopped my feet from walking out. I turned around and saw my precious daughter running down the stairs wearing her giraffe onesie while tugging boo-bear down the stairs, who danced along as it hit every single step.

'Sweetie'I met her down the stairs. 'Dadd...are you leaving us?' she hugged her bear tightly as she looked up to me. I sat at the bottom step and placed her on my lap. 'No TJ, never' I assured her with a smile. 'Do you still lahhve Mommy?' she asked. 'Of course I do and I always will' I tucked the strand of her that fell out back behind her ear. 'Bahh-but you kissed Nanny Lauren' she bowed her head down and made a small pout. I wasn't sure how I was going to explain what happen to my daughter in a way she would understand. Even if I say I didn't do it would be contradicting on what she saw. 'I know sweetie.... And dad made a mistake' I began while she fidgeted with her bear. 'Sometimes things happen that we never wanted to happen..' I placed a finger on her chin and she looked back up at my gaze.
'Daddy never wanted to kiss her….it was an accident' I assured her.



Samantha's POV:
I opened my eyes and was greeted by a smiling sun over the city of London. It was a beautiful morning after a stormy night. JM was still fast asleep on my left but when I turned around I was surprised to see my right side empty. 'TJ?' I whispered. I hurried out of bed trying not to panic. 'TJ?' I called out in a calm manner. Suddenly, I heard her giggle which rest assured me that she was just within the vicinity.



I looked down the stairs and saw her seating on Harry's lap. A smile fell across my face at the sight of the father and daughter.


'Dad has to go to work but I'll come back straight after, ok?' I heard Harry say. 'Ok Dad' TJ nodded before placing her small hands on Harry's cheek and giving him a peck on the lips. 'That was so sweet' Harry chuckled revealing his dimples.
Momentarily, a tear fell out from my right eye. I was torn between making a decision whether or not to accept Harry's mistake….. and forgive him.




I have to make a decision.

Harry's POV:
I whistled a tune as I parked on the Robertson's driveway, It had just gone past 12 noon. I rang the doorbell and waited patiently with a smile. 'Hello' I greeted the maid with a wave. 'Good noon Mr. Styles' she politely replied. 'How can I help you?' she asked. Her reply wasn't an invitation into the house which was unusual because Sammie or her parents would have inform their maids to let me in when I arrive. 'Oh, I'm here to see my wife and kids' I responded. 'I'm sorry their not here, everyone left' she informed me. 'Oh okay, where did they go?' I asked now aware why she didn't invite me in.


'They went to the airport' she divulged.
