I zipped up my suitcase and rolled it to the door. One long, unbearable month had slowly ticked by and I was leaving to see my Harry. I had a four day weekend and the band had two shows in New York. I double checked the list of everything I'd need and grabbed my keys. Time to get to the airport.

---

"Hey Paul!" I greeted him as I walked through the terminal at the airport. He was here to pick up Emma and I, since word had gotten out that we would be attending the New York shows. There was a huge line of fans lining the airport and screaming. Paul led me safely to the SUV outside.

I slid in the car to see Emma was already here. "Heeeey lady!" I sang out. She hugged my neck in reply.The boy's first show was tonight so we were heading straight to the arena.

"I cannot believe I'm in New York!" Emma squealed as she grabbed my hand. "I absolutely cannot wait to go shopping!"

I nodded in agreement. "I'm just so ready to see the boys! I can't believe I actually survived a month away from Harry!"

Emma and I began to catch up as the SUV continued on towards the arena.

---

The boys had a bit of an earlier show tonight, so everyone would have time to catch up afterwards. Emma and I had arrived an hour before the show, so there was going to be little time to see the boys before the show. Emma had run off to find Niall, so I headed for Lou's hair/makeup room.

I peeked around the corner and sure enough, Harry was playing with Lux while Lou worked on Zayn's hair. I tiptoed around the corner. Harry's back was facing me, but Lou and Zayn waved, keeping quiet. Harry was sitting cross-legged on the floor, playing dolls with Lux. I got closer and Lux saw me. I slipped my arms around Harry's chest just as Lux squealed "Leee-yah!" And clapped her hands.

"Hi, Lux!" I cooed as Harry turned around and picked me up, planting kisses all over my face.

"I've missed you so much!" Harry whispered. I winked at him and turned to Lux. I scooped her up into my arms.

"How are you sweet girl?!" I exclaimed.

"Wanna play with my dollies?" She giggled.

"I do!" I sat down in the floor with her. She wasn't quite satisfied though, and tugged on Harry's pant leg so that he would come play, too. As the three of us giggled in the floor, I overheard Zayn and Lou.

"They're going to be the best parents, one day."

"I know, I can't wait to see it happen. I wish they'd hurry up." Lou giggled.

Harry must've heard their conversation, too because he grinned at me and mouthed "I love you."

I mouthed it right back.

---

Emma, Lou, and I sat on the side stage with Lux, who danced the whole time. The show rocked as usual and we made plans to hit New York's shopping scene to find some baby clothes for the little Horan baby.

"Guess we'll be buying lots of neutral colors, since you've yet to find out!" Lou laughed.

"Yeah, don't you get to find out next week?" I poked Emma.

"Well, actually, I was going to tell you guys. We found out early." She began, but I interrupted.

"WHAT? And you didn't tell me?"

"Well, I wanted to tell everyone all together, but I can't keep it in any longer!" She paused.

"Welllll..." Lou encouraged.

"Her name is going to be Marleah Alana Horan!" She squealed. "Marleah, is a mixture or Maura, Niall's mother, and Leah - the two women we're most thankfulf for. Alana means 'sense of warmth.' During that tough time I had, when everything and everyone seemed so cold, I knew I had her - my little ball of warmth. We'll call her Alana!"

"That's absolutely precious!" Lou cooed, before running off to chase Lux, who was heading straight for Harry on stage.

"Emma, I - it's - she's beautiful!" Tears brimmed over in my eyes as I hugged Emma as tight as I could. "I'm so happy for you!"

"Thanks, Le. You and Harry are going to be the perfect godparents." She smiled. "Thank you for always being there for me."

"Let's go out and celebrateeeeeee!" Louis yelled as Emma and Niall told the boys the news.

Everyone nodded anxiously, wanting to check out New York's night life, but Niall put his finger up.

"Guys, if ya don't mind, I think Emma and I are gonna sit this one out. She can't drink, and I don't wanna just have her sitting around while I'm drinking. I think I'm just going to take my girls out for a nice dinner." He placed his hand on Emma's now rounding belly.

"Niall, babe, you don't have to do that. We can go out if you want."

"It's okay, Em. I've already got us reservations." He wagged his eyebrows and they said goodbye to the group.

"Well, I guess we get to go celebrate for them, huh?" Zayn pumped his fist in the air.

Harry looped his arm around my waist as we made our way out to the SUVs that would take us to the heart of the nightlife. It was just getting dark, so our timing was perfect. Harry and I climbed into one SUV while the other three boys climbed into another.

"You boys pick the place. We'll follow!" Harry called out as we loaded up. Liam gave us a thumbs up.

"Harry Edward Styles, I have missed you like crazy!" I smiled into the kiss he'd placed onto my lips. I was aching for his touch.

"I've missed you more." He replied, tapping the end of my nose.

"Not possible." I folded my arms and sassed him.

"Oh it really is!" He said, taking my face between his palms and kissing me again, this time deeper and more passionate.

I giggled. "We haven't been out on the town together in awhile. You excited?" I wiggled my eyebrows up and down.

"I'm excited for being out on the town, but I'm even more excited to get you back to the hotel."

He pulled his bottom lip between his teeth and I almost fell over dead right there.

This is taking me home? What did I ever to do deserve this? Someone tell me, quick, so I can keep doing it.

"I'm buying the next round of shots!" Louis skipped off to the bar. We all sat around in a booth in some club, talking and goofing off, as usual.

"Ugh, I don't think I can do another round." I whined, nursing on my beer.

"Don't be such a girl!" Zayn rolled his eyes at me, then laughed.

I laughed at his failed attempt at an insult.

"Fine, let's do this shot and then go dance!" I slurred a little.

Everyone agreed that it was a good idea.

Louis came back and passed out the concoctions. "To Anala Maurice!" He raised his shot glass while the rest of us burst into uncontrollable laughter. Louis had obviously had way too much to drink.

"Louis, it's Marleah Alana!" I giggled.

"Yeah, to her too!" He downed his shot and the rest of us followed once we calmed down a bit.

"To the dance floor!" Harry stuck his finger in the air and took off towards the sea of bodies. The rest of us followed.

Louis broke out his typical traffic commander move while Liam worked the grocery cart move. Zayn did his own little cool head bob and Harry did the sprinkler. I did some sort of Egyptian meets Oompa Loompa move, sending the boys into another fit of laughter. We were all about piss drunk and after a slow, sloppy, flirty dance with Harry, we all ended up back at the booth.

"It's not even that late, you guys." I checked my watch. "It's half one." I giggled. "We're pathetic!"

The boys laughed, but Zayn and Louis were already out of their seats and heading back to the bar. Tomorrow morning was not going to be fun.

I opened up my Twitter app, but was soon interrupted by a text message from Emma. My jaw dropped and Harry giggled. He's very giggly when drunk - that and sexual.

"What is it?" He asked. I tilted the screen so he could see and his laughter stopped. He took my phone out of my hand and showed it to Liam. Liam looked to Harry and I with a facial expression that was just as shocked as Harry and I felt.

"Shotsssssssss! Round 32!" Zayn giggled, helping Louis pass out the drinks. Liam showed him the text and he fell silent. Louis grabbed the phone and giggled.

"Oh, that's hilarious!" He continued to be drunk Louis and giggle. I reached for my phone to take a look again.

That was the most gorgeous Tiffany's engagement ring I'd ever seen.
