Wow! This was really happening, THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING! I kept mentally telling myself the same thing over and over again, waiting for it to sink in.

All these months, all these days, I have been counting down for this moment. This is the moment. So why do i feel so nervous? Am i ready to be a dad? Am i prepared for this? What if i do something wrong?

Before i know it my head is filled with doubt and i start to panic. What do i do if something goes wrong and i can't pick up the pieces? What if i'm not a good dad?

Kyla can tell how worried i am about this, she is too. I'm happy that im not the only one in this situation or i may lose my mind.

She holds my hand tightly. Two reasons why. The first being the fact that she's giving birth to our child, the second being we are both stressed and worried that we aren't going to be good enough.

I realise that i'm completely zoned out, i quickly zone back in and comfort Kyla. Right now she is my main priority, making sure that she is okay and i'm comfort is the main thing right now.

11thMay
12am

There is a sudden burst of crying that chimes through the room. Both Kyla and I turn to face each other and smile, tears begin to fall from our eyes due to joy. Our little girl is here.

"She's beautiful H. She really is" Gemma sobs.

"I'm so proud of both of you!" My mum barely gets the words past her lips.

Kyla makes room on the hospital bed for me to sit next to her before being handed our daughter. I couldn't help but to stare at her. I couldn't believe we made someone so beautiful and harmless. I felt so complete.

Ky handed me our daughter. For a minute i froze. What if i hurt her? I don't want to hurt my baby girl.

"You'll be fine" Ky says softly,  as if she read my mind. Although she most definitely read my face.

I take our child in my arms. I suddenly because full of thought, with emotions running all through my body. Next thing i knew, i was singing a song to our daughter.

"Sweet creature, We're running through the garden
Oh, where nothing bothered us
But we're still young
I always think about you and how we don't speak enough."

I paused for a second, thinking of what the next part should be. I wanted something honest. Something true. Something meaningful.

"And oh we started
Two hearts in one home
I know, it's hard when we argue
We're both stubborn
I know, but oh
Sweet creature, sweet creature
Wherever I go, you bring me home
Sweet creature, sweet creature
When I run out of road, you bring me home"

I continued to admire my beautiful child, curled up in my arms. She was so innocent, so pure, so delicate. I just wanted to keep her in my arms forever, making sure that nothing will ever hurt her.

"What about Harper?" Ky turns to me.

"Harper?... Harper... Harper Styles? I like it! Harper it is" I grin before planting more than plenty of kisses over her face. I really am the luckiest man alive.

Hours go by, and we finally get the all clear to go home. I cant wait to show Harper around the house. I hope she likes jokes, if she doesn't laugh at my jokes she's grounded.

before we leave, we say our goodbyes to Ciara, Gemma and mum. None of them wanting to leave Harper.

We finally make it back and for the first time since i've lived here, it actually feels like a home. Before it just felt like a building that i lived in. It didn't feel like much. But now, now it's a home.

We take Harper straight to her room and put her in her crib, allowing her to sleep in complete comfort.

I couldn't help but to take thousands of photos of her sleeping. I didn't want to leave her. In fact, i didn't even want to blink. I don't want to miss a single moment of her precious life.

Eventually, i managed to pull myself away from her. I headed to the kitchen to cook Kyla up some food, i'm sure after everything she has just been through that she would've gained an appetite.

I wasn't really sure on what to cook, so decided on just making some sandwiches. All through making, i was singing the lyrics that i sang the first time i held Harper. They wouldn't stop running through my brain.

I pull out a notepad and begin to add more and more lyrics, transforming the small tune into a song. After swapping parts around and playing about with the lyrics i was finally happy.

I came to the conclusion that i wanted this on my album. It was a push, but i needed it to be done.

I pulled out my phone and immediately begun dialling all the right contacts.

"Hey, it's Harry. I know this is super last minute but i want another song on the album, one that's not been recorded yet. I know it sounds crazy but i really want it on the album, i don't think i'd be happy with the album without it... I was hoping you could bring the equipment down to my house so we could record it then you could take it to the studio and add music to it and place it on the album. It's really important to me. Thanks, you're the best!"

I quickly pick up the plate of sandwiches that i had completely forgotten about, taking them to Kyla who was slobbing out on the sofa; not that i can blame her.

"You're the best!" she grins, picking up my masterpieces and scoffing then down.

"So I've got someone coming over in a bit, I decided i'd turn the lyrics that i was singing in the hospital into a song and put it on the album. It sounds crazy i know, but i really want it on there" I explain hoping she understands.

"That's fine,H. But you do realise that your album is released tomorrow? How is it going to work?"

"Trust me" I grin, planting a soft kiss on her forehead.
