Strictly you.

“After four years on hiatus, the boys of one direction have announced they are releasing an album in just a few short months. That’s not all they had to announce though, it seems as though the baby of group, Harry, has taken a big step. He announced at a press conference that he and his longtime girlfriend Penny Duran have made plans to finally tie the knot. More on this story when we come back.”
The sound of E! News filled the living room as Penny prepared dinner while Pippa was in the living room playing with her dolly and Olivia was visiting.
“Pip sweetie, could you come here real quick? You too Olivia.” Penny asked as she gathered a spoonful of the spaghetti sauce she’d just prepared.
“Yes mummy?” Pippa asked sweetly as she and Olivia entered the kitchen.
“I need you two to do me a favor and you have to be very honest, okay?” Penny asked with a grin. The girls each nodded their heads and looked up at her. She knelt down and held the spoon out to Pippa first. “Tell me how it is?” She asked as she let her daughter take a taste of the sauce and then got another spoonful for Olivia.
“It needs salt.” Pippa said, turning her nose up. Olivia giggled.
“No it doesn’t, it’s perfect.” Olivia nodded, her small baby teeth shining as she grinned.
“I don’t even know what salt tastes like, I just hear daddy say.” Pippa said with a giggle, they were definitely in a funny mood tonight. Penny watched as they ran back into the living room, shaking her head.
“Mmm, what smells good love?” Harry said as he walked into the kitchen and slid his arms around his fiancés waist.
“Spaghetti, I tried a new recipe so I am not promising it will taste as good as it smells.” She said as she turned around to wrap her arms around his neck.
“Everything you make is delicious; I reckon this won’t be any different.” Harry said before placing a soft kiss on her lips.
“Daddy! Come play with us!” Pippa yelled and Harry sighed happily.
“Duty calls.” He said as he walked out, scooting a little bit as Penny popped him playfully on the rear with her oven mitt.
She turned the sauce on low and walked over to her ipad which was leaning against a holder displaying the recipe. She noticed a message pop up on the top and picked it up to read it.
Niall: When were you planning on telling me?
Penny bit her lip and peered over the counter to make sure Harry was occupied with the girls. She stepped around into the dining room and pulled up the message to type.
Penny: When was I going to tell you that the father of my child asked me to be his wife? Why would I tell you that?
Niall: It would have been nice to get a heads up, you didn’t seem to care he was the father of your child when I was face deep between your legs.
She blinked and looked around, feeling incredibly conspicuous.
“Har, love can you watch the food. I need to run upstairs.”
“Yeah babe, go ahead.” Harry called and Penny turned for the stairs, walking up and into her room. She pulled her cell phone out and found Niall’s name, pressing call.
“Oh, now you call me?” He answered.
“Listen, that never happened. Do not every bring that up especially not in a message, my daughter could have seen that or even Harry.” She said quickly in a hushed tone.
“Oh? Okay. Yeah sure it’s always about you – just string me along like always.”
“Ni, I told you nothing could happen.”
“You always say that.”
“This time I mean it.”
“I know you have been thinking of me, you know you want to finish what we started.”
“Niall, you’re about to release an album and go on tour again, you really want to try and dredge this shit up again?” Penny sounded a bit frantic; she wished she’d never given into her temptation. She regretted every time she did.
“Fine. Just don’t expect me to speak to you or even pretend I remotely like you because I’m done with you Penny, I’m finished.” He hung up before she could reply.
“Fuck.” Penny said softly as she slid her phone back in her pocket, how was she going to explain to Harry why Niall hated her again.
“Fuck fuck fuckity fuck.” She said as she walked out of the room and headed back towards the stair.
“Fuckity fuck!” She heard a small voice call out from beside her, she looked down to see Olivia grinning up at her.
“Oh my god, no no no that is not a good word, don’t say that word.” She said as she leaned down to pick the girl up.
“But you said it, why can’t I say fuck” Olivia questioned with a pout.
“It’s a grown up word and even adults aren’t supposed to say it. I will probably get in trouble.” Penny lied, walking down the stairs.
“Daddy says it all the time.” Olivia nodded. Penny felt a little relieved; maybe if she repeated it Louis would just think it was his influence.
“How’d you get upstairs anyway?” Penny asked as she pinched the girl’s cheek.
“Gemma brought me to the potty.”
“Oh, Gemma is here… upstairs….okay…” Penny felt a wave of panic flash over her, what if Gemma had heard. She silently cursed herself as she placed Olivia back on the ground and let her run back into the living room.
“Harry I didn’t Gemma was coming over.” Penny said as she sat on the couch, looking down at them.
“It was a surprise,” Gemma answered before Harry had a chance, giving Penny some serious side eye.
“Oh, great. I made plenty of food.”
“You always have some to share.” Gemma said as she sat across from Penny in a overstuffed chair.
Penny laughed nervously and cleared her throat.
“Well, it should be ready. Let’s eat…” She said as she stood up and quickly walked to the kitchen. Gemma walked in behind her and gave her a glare.
“Okay, what? What is it?” Penny asked feeling incredibly irritated.
“You think I wouldn’t say anything?” Gemma said, shaking her head.
“About ….” Penny started; she didn’t want to say it out loud.
“You forgot my birthday!” Gemma said with a frown, crossing her arms and looking at Penny.
“Oh my god, Gem I’m so sorry. We will go shopping and for dinner tomorrow night, I promise.” Penny walked towards Gemma and pulled her in for a tight hug, that was too close for comfort.
