Harry Styles-Wilson: Hockey Husband [Sequel to Harry Who?] (Completed)

Harry rolled over in bed to turn the lamp off. “It’s nice to be back in our own bed again,” he said to Ellie and pulled her in close.

“I agree. I loved visiting your mom, but it’s nice to be home.” Ellie settled into his arms for the night, and started to feel her eyelids flutter shut with sleep, when Harry said her name.

“Ellie, you still awake?” He whispered.

“Yeah.”

“Maybe because it’s Christmas, or maybe because my mom kept dropping hints, but um,” Harry paused. “I was wondering if, maybe, you’d thought about us, at some point, having children?”


***

Ellie Wilson had dreamed of playing professional hockey since she and her twin brother were kids. While her brother Scott fulfilled their childhood dream by playing in the National Hockey League for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Ellie’s career was sidelined by a bad injury playing hockey in college. She ended up working nights in a bookstore in her hometown of Ottawa, thinking her career and life were going nowhere.

That is until a certain curly-haired, green-eyed member of One Direction walked into her bookstore and turned her life upside down. With Harry’s support, Ellie turned her life around and got back into playing hockey. She made it onto the roster of one of the four teams in the newly established National Women’s Hockey League, the New York Riveters, and Harry surprised her by buying the team.

Harry surprised Ellie again, during an unexpected break in filming ‘Dunkirk’, and came back to New York to watch her play. Yet in doing so, he inadvertently distracted Ellie, causing her to take a rough hit which resulted in a bad concussion. For a moment, it seemed like Ellie may have lost some of her memory, even forgotten who her own boyfriend was. She looked right in his eyes and said ‘Harry who?’

And in that moment, Harry knew.

He knew he would do whatever it took to keep her safe and by his side for the rest of his life (if she wanted to, of course). When it was clear Ellie had recovered her memory, and doctors assured Harry she would recover, he bought a ring and waited for the right moment to ask the question.

After a bit of drinking one night while working on his album in Jamaica, Harry did give her that ring - though not exactly the way he’d planned. Regardless, they were both very happy and hopeful for their future together. The next summer, before Harry’s tour started, they were married privately in a small ceremony, just family and close friends.

Since then, they have managed to keep it a secret for the past few months, but they knew they were fighting a losing battle. Sooner or later it would get out that Harry Styles of One Direction was married, and if it did, Harry and Ellie would face it together.
