First Day of My Life

“Have no fear, your best friend is here,” It’s Monday and Masha’s plane just landed. The girls are at school so it was perfect timing to pick her up from the airport.

“I’ve missed you so much Mash! Blake will meet us at the house and we’ll go out for lunch. After the girls get out of school Tuppie and Alli are taking them out to dinner to help cheer them up. They’re missing Harry a lot and it’s hard on them,” I explained to her as she put her bag in my trunk.

“Well we only have to get them through the next two weeks and then they’ll be back with their daddy. Speaking of which have you finally talked to Brandon about the girls calling Harry daddy? It’s not like he even takes out the time to see the girls regularly,”

“I’m going to meet up with him on his lunch hour in a few, so you can either tag along or just stay at the house,”

“Oh I’m definitely coming along,” She said with anger in her voice. She’s never forgiven Brandon for breaking my heart and then repeatedly flaking on the girls.

“You can come just no physical violence,” I warned her and she opened her mouth and I cut her off, “Also no attacking him verbally also,”

“You know me too well,”

“Yup, that’s my job as your best friend now let’s head home and get you settled in,” I said with a chuckle. When we got back to the house she put her things away in the guest room while I went into the living room and opened the wedding planning binder.
“The binder is out. Uh oh,” Masha said.

“Nothing too major. The girls finally got back to me on when they can come here. We’re going dress shopping next week in New York. We’re flying out on Friday once the girls are out of school.

“Are we staying for the whole weekend?”

“Of course. I want to the minis to see the Statue of Liberty. So we’ll go Friday and then land back here on Sunday,”

“I’m excited! What are you and Harry wanting to do for your honeymoon? Are you taking the girls with you or will it just be the two of you?” She asked me. Harry and I have actually been debating that for a while.

“We decided that we’ll have a week for just the two of us and then the week after we’re going to get the girls from Brandon and Jennifer then take a family moon that week and then we’ll be back home and back to regular life,” I explained to her. Harry and I wanted to make the girls to feel like they’re a part of this also.

“That’ll be cute. Where are you taking them?”

“The first two days will be spent at Disney and then we’re flying out to Manchester to spend time with Anne and Gemma, since the next time we will fly out will be in May for a few months this summer,”

“That’ll be cute. I expect lots of pictures in the group chat from your family moon. If not I’m going to crash it. Sorry,” She replied with a shrug and I rolled my eyes at my best friend.

“Don’t worry you know Harry and I can’t help sharing pictures of our girls. We’re those annoying parents,”

“We all love the girls don’t worry. We’d be worried if you didn’t send us pictures everyday. Louis and Liam doing it with Freddie and Bear,”

“And you’ll do it with little Lila Blue,” I said winking at her. When we were in middle school we agreed to name our first daughter after each other and I stuck to my end of the bargain so now it’s her turn to whenever she has her daughter.

“When I find out I’m pregnant you’re the first I’m telling. First I need to find someone to deal with me,”

“You will. Now we have to go deal with Brandon,”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
“How are my daughters?” Brandon asked me as we sat down at the cafe down the street from his job. As usual paps were following me, but I ignored them.

“They’re fine, but you would know that if you actually visited them for once,” I shot back rolling my eyes. It’s been about three months since he last saw them.

“I know. I’ve been busy with work and Jaden. So why did we need to meet up again?” He asked and all I head was Masha huff in my left ear.

“Your daughters Brandon. The other day Violet called Harry “daddy”. We didn’t encourage it or discourage it because we wanted to talk to you about it. Are you okay with them calling him daddy?” I asked.

“Actually I’m not. He’s not their dad so they shouldn’t be calling him that,” Brandon said with anger and hurt evident in his voice.

“That’s the thing though. Harry’s been in their life forever and he’s like a dad to them and he’s soon to be their step-dad. Please just think about,” I pleaded with him and he just shook his head.

“Listen, Harry deserves to be called daddy by those little girls because unlike you he’s in their lives day in and day out. He’s a better dad than you are to them. If you were more involved maybe they wouldn’t feel the need to call Harry daddy. Now I suggest you allow them to refer to Harry however they want to,” Masha exclaimed in frustration from her spot next to me.

“No. My answer is now. He’s not their dad and if they do call him daddy then I’m out of their lives. It as simple as that,” Brandon said before standing up and walking away. I sank back into my chair and just let the tears of hurt for my girls and frustration fall.

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t hold it in. Please don’t be mad,” Masha said rubbing my shoulder.

“One of us had to say it. Now I have to talk to Harry about this later tonight and get his thoughts. I don’t want to ruin what little relationship Brandon has with them, but I also want them to feel like they can be completely comfortable with Harry. I fear that telling them no to this will mess with the relationship he has with them,” I explained as I wiped my tears away.

“I say if Brandon doesn’t want to be in his daughters’ lives then so be it. If that’s the case then ask him to terminate his parental rights and then have Harry adopt both girls once you’re married. They are as much his girls as Clemmie is yours also,”

“Maybe. I just want to go home and lay in bed for a bit,”

“Okay. When we get back Blake is going to come get me so it’ll give you time to talk to Harry also,” Masha said and I nodded my head. When we got back to the house Blake was waiting on us and I gave him a hug before locking up behind me and going to my room. Once inside I took my shoes off and got into bed before calling Harry.

“Isn’t this a nice surprise,” He said upon answering.

“God, I miss you so much Haz,”

“I miss you too creature. What’s wrong? You sound like you’ve been crying,” He said instinctively.

“I talked to Brandon and he basically said that if either of the girls calls you daddy again he’s out of their lives for good,”

“It’s not like he’s in their lives to begin with. You have to be present and active in their lives for it to count. What are you thinking about doing then?”

“I’m not sure. Like you’ve been in their lives since they can remember and you’re more of father to them than Brandon is. I just don’t want them to get mad at me when they’re older for pushing him away from them,” I said as I cuddled with his pillow that still holds his scent. Each night the girls and I take turns on who can cuddle with the pillow. It sounds kind of creepy, but when four girls miss the man in their lives you do what you can.

“If he’s going to let something as little of this push him out of their lives then so be it. We can also take him to court to have his rights taken away if this is what he decides to do. No matter what those girls are going to adore and love you,”

“Okay. I’ll text him later and tell him what I decided. Right now I just want to hear all about you and your day,”

“Momma!” Nora shouted running and hugging my leg as soon as Tuppie dropped her off.

“Did you have a good time with Aunt Honey?” I asked her. When the girls were born I let Tuppie decide what she wanted them to call her and she wanted them to call her Aunt Honey or just Honey.

“Yes, but I miss you,” Clemmie said comin and hugging me causing my heart to completely melt and hit the floor.

“I missed you guys too. Clemmie why don’t you go show Aunt Masha your room while I talk to Nora and Lottie for a second,” and she nodded her head before giving both Eleanor and Violet hugs. Once they were up the stairs I lead Nora and Lottie into the living room and onto the couch. Nora came and sat on my lap while Lottie laid back so her back was on the arm of the couch.

“Do you remember asking me if Harry could be your daddy, Lots?” I asked Violet and she nodded her head.

“Well, in a way Harry is your second daddy and if you both want to call him daddy it’s okay with both me and him,” I said looking between the girls.

“Will dad be mad?” Nora asked looking up at me.

“Don’t worry about that. If he gets mad I’ll take care of it, ok?” I asked her and she nodded her head.

“So Harry’s my daddy?” Violet asked with a smile on her face.

“Yes, Harry is one of your daddies, lovebug,” I said and as soon as I finished she stood up and began to dance I around. I quickly took out my phone and began to record her on Snapchat. I have a public one and a private one and this is going on my private one where I only have close friends and family on here.

“Lovebug, what did I just tell you?” I asked as I continued recording her.

“Harry is one of my daddie!” She exclaimed running over to me and jumping up and down. I then turned the camera so it was facing me where Nora was doing a happy dance while still on my lap.

“What do you think about that ladybug?” I asked Nora.

“I’m happy momma,” She said before kissing my cheek. I ended the recording and then put it on my story and then saving it in my memories.

“Let’s go get your jammies on and then see if daddy is free to factime,” I said to them and the hurried upstairs just as my phone began to buzz uncontrollably. I looked and it was my friends and family sliding up on my story. All the members of 1D messaged me and they all said how cute this way and how happy they are. Harry even slid up telling me how much he misses the girls and how this made his heart almost burst. When I got into the girls room I found Masha handing the girls their pajamas and having them put them on themselves. Once they were done we went and sat in the corner while I facetimed Harry on my laptop. When his face appeared all girls let out a squeal.

“How are my favorite girls and Masha doing?” Harry asked with a wink.

“Watch it Styles,” Masha said with a laugh. Masha and Harry have that brother/sister relationship where they make fun of the other.

“Hi daddy,” Nora said smiling.

“Hi little lady,” Harry replied. His smile brightened as soon as she called him daddy.

“Since they call you daddy, is Lilli my mommy?” Clementine asked Harry from her spot cuddled in my arms.

“Do you want to call Lili mommy?” Harry asked her and she nodded her head, “Then Lili can be mommy. You’ll just have two mommies,”

“Aunt Honey took us,” Violet said.

“I saw that. Did you have fun eating dinner with her tonight?”

“A lot of fun! We got to color,” Nora said with a yawn which lead the other two to follow suit and soon both myself and Masha felt the need to yawn also.

“It looks all five of you should get to sleep then,” Harry said laughing at all of us for yawning.

“When are you coming home daddy?” Clemmie asked with a sad look.

“Soon, snugglebug, soon. What book do we want to read tonight?” Harry asked them. Whenever Harry leaves we have facetime story times where he reads a book to the girls at night every night.

“Goodnight Moon,” The all screamed.
