Starting Over

Chapter 52

NH
Harry has just gotten done with the last interview of the day. We are heading to the hotel we will be staying in for the next couple nights. Harry said it would be easier to stay close to the venue instead of at his house, since the traffic here is to unpredictable. Thinking about it, it does make sense, but yet I can't wait to get home. Yes, I am calling Harry's house home because he has asked me to move in with him permanently and give up the lease on my small apartment.

When we arrive at the hotel once again there are paparazzi everywhere along with a large number of fans. Thankfully the hotel has extra security and has set up barriers to allow their guests easy enough access to and from the main entrance. Harry and I are sandwiched between our personal security team so I wasn't to worried about anything bad happening. I did let out a long sigh once we made it into the lobby. I am just really not into large crowds.

Harry and I made it to our room which was very large. To be honest it is like an apartment with the kitchen living room and many bedrooms. I made a beeline for the sofa but stopped dead in my tracks when I heard a very familiar voice "my boy you two have finally arrived". When I turned around my dad was standing right behind me with open arms. I wasted no time giving my dad a big hug and asked "what are you doing here and is mom with you"

"Well you have your boyfriend there to thank for us being here. Your mom and Emma's parents are out on the deck looking at the view."  Bobby replied

"Emma's parents are here also. I can't believe he has managed to surprise me again with you and ma" I replied. My dad and I walked out to say hello to everyone on the deck. After hugging everyone I realized Harry wasn't with us. I excused myself and went to find him.

Harry was just coming out of a room and now dressed in some sweats and a T-shirt. I quickly embraced him and held onto him tightly. He was quick to return the hug. "I take it you like your surprise" Harry whispered into my ear.

"I love it but why did you fly them in? I figured you would want some alone time with you mom and sister". I asked while playing with the hair at the nape of his neck.
"I felt like it was time our families met and I know you think of Emma's parents as family as well. They also consider you a son so it felt right to include them. You don't mind do you?" Harry asked and then placed a kiss on my forehead.

"No I don't mind at all Harry, but will your mom find it weird that my late fiancé parents are here?" I asked
"No not at all. I have told my mom all about them and how close you are to them. Niall I have stayed in contact with them as well as your parents. They are a big part of your past and I would like to make sure they stay in your present and future as well. I really do understand how important Emma and her parents have been to you and I don't want you to think you have to give them up to be with me." Harry said as he was staring directly into my eyes. It felt as if he was looking into my soul really.

Harry and I went out to join the others on the deck and enjoy the city views. We spent the next few hours just chatting about anything and everything. It is amazing how comfortable Harry is with Emma's parents. I am just in awe because I don't know if the roles were reversed if I would be that open with them.

Things are going great. The six of us have had a lovely afternoon just sitting on the deck chatting. My mom and sister should be arriving shortly. I got a text 45 minutes ago saying they have landed and are heading out from the airport. Niall and I excuse ourselves and decide to wait for my family inside. I want to properly introduce Niall to them as my boyfriend.

Soon enough there is a knock at the door and I got up to open it. I am attacked by a couple pairs of arms and hugged tightly by my mom and sister. I returned the hug and pulled away so I can grab Niall. I was holding Niall around his waist when I introduced him as my boyfriend. My mom and sister both wrapped us up in a large group hug and soon I was somehow pushed out of the group by my sister so she can hug Niall also. I just stood there and watched my family welcome Niall with a wide grin on my face. Finally I spoke up "okay okay that is enough. Let go of my man so he can breath please"
They all turned my direction and started laughing. That was music to my ears.

After mom and Gemma freshened up a bit we all headed out to the deck so everyone can meet. Once all the introduction were made we all enjoyed a nice and comfortable conversation. Mom was telling embracing stories about my youth and Niall's parents and Emma's parents were doing the same about Niall. It was great seeing how everyone was getting along.

Soon enough we all headed into the dining room. The laughs continued through dinner and on into the evening. The ladies all made plans to hit the spa tomorrow and Niall, Bobby and Emma's dad were going to hit the golf course. I however had some interviews to do before I had to head to the venue for the concert. Everyone would be coming to my last two shows and I was very excited about that.
