are you my daddy?

England part 1

Taylor POV

It's been about a week since Harry, the band, and Simon found out about Livy. Harry hasn't stayed over yet, but helps out with Livy when I have to run errands or have a commitment.

Luckily Simon didnt make a big deal of the whole situation, but told us to keep him in the loop and that hed be in contact with my team, especially when the time came to put out a press release.

We haven't really discussed what happened when he kissed me, and it hasn't happened again. Not that I wouldn't love it to, just doesn't seem right at the moment. We are still getting to know each other again.

Right now I'm flying to London, with Harry and Livy, to perform at the VS Fashion Show. Since we are going on my plane, it's ok for us to all go together because no one sees us. Harry has agreed he won't come to the actual show, but might come to rehearsal, and will look after Livy that night instead. We are also going to take Livy to meet Harry's mum and sister. He hasn't told them about her- apparently he wants to surprise them- but they are really nice and we got along really well so hopefully it will go well!

-------

We land in London and get in a car to drive to Harry's mum's house in Cheshire. It's really nice travelling together, really comfortable. We listen to the whole of FOUR, then the whole of 1989, just to see which Livy likes better (I think it was 1989, but that's because she's heard it more).

When we get to the house Harry tells me to wait in the car till he's inside, then to come and knock on the door. I do exactly as he says.

"He......lo! Oh my goodness! Taylor, what are you doing here?" Anne says, looking very surprised and extremely pleased.

"Surprise!" I say smiling back at her. She doesn't seem to notice the little polar bear bundle in my arms as she invites me in.

"Harry, you didn't mention we had company." Anne says loudly so Harry could hear her from the living room.

"Must've slipped my mind" He says

"Who's there?" Shouts Gemma, I think from the kitchen

"Your favourite baking buddy, love!" Anne says back. I can feel Livy begin to stir.

"T-A-Y-L-O-R!!!!!" Gemma screams as she comes running into the foyer. That does it; Livy is suddenly wide awake and starts whimpering. I look at Harry as he comes into the foyer too, and he gets the message, scooping Livy out of my arms and taking off her little hood.

This shocks Anne and Gemma a lot.

"What's going on?" Gemma asks, smiling slightly, I think she knows but just wants confirmation.

"Uh, mum, Gemma, this is Livy. My, I mean, our daughter." Harry says glancing over at me and turning Livy around slightly so she can see what's going on.

"Oh my goodness.....I need to sit down" Anne says, and I help guide her to the living room where she sits on the sofa.

"I'm an aunt. My idiot brother is a father. Like whoa!" says Gemma, processing it all.

"I'm a grandmother. My baby has a baby." says Anne, tearing up. I quickly take off Livy's little polar bear suit and sit her next to Anne, where she promptly climbs up on her lap and taps her face smiling. Livy always has a calming effect on people.

Harry POV

Everyone seemed really happy, which made me happy and very proud.

"Wait, she looks about a year old. How have you not told me before? And how have we not seen this in the tabloids?" my mum asks

"Well that would be my fault, I guess." Says Taylor slightly guiltily "You see, I was selfish and didn't tell Harry until about 8 days ago. She is around 15 months old. Basically I didn't want to talk to Harry, and was angry at him for a long time. I'm sorry....to all of you."

"Oh, my dear, don't apologise. I'm just glad it's all sorted now and I get to meet this little beauty."Mum says. Thank goodness she wasn't mad.

"Taylor, do you want to help me make treacle tart?" Gemma asks Taylor.

"That sounds great." Taylor responds, giving Livy a little kiss and me a smile as she followed Gemma into the kitchen.

"Now Harry, I'm glad we are alone. I need you to promise me something." My mum says

"Anything mum."

"Promise me you won't do anything to ruin it this time. I couldn't bear for this little angel to grow up without her father or, selfishly, without a grandmother like me!" She continues. "Do you still have feelings for Taylor?"

"Yeah, mum. I do. As many if not more than when we were dating." I say with a sigh

"Make sure she knows, tell her or whatever, and just make sure she knows, ok?" Mum says. I nod in response.

"Dada dada" Livy babbles making me tear up. She's never said that before.

"Taylor, I think you need to some here." Mum says.

Taylor rushes into the room to find me in tears and Livy laughing and saying 'dada' over and over. Taylor starts to tear up as well.

"That's right, baby girl! That's your Dada!" Taylor says to Livy. She then surprises me by coming over and hugging me tightly

"Thank you Harry. Thank you for giving me the best gift in the world, and being here to watch her grow" Taylor says into my shoulder, where her head is buried. I respond by just kissing her hair over and over. Mum smiles and wanders off with Livy, giving us some time alone.

"You are an amazing woman, Taylor. I hope you know that." I say

"Thanks Haz, I needed to hear that. You're not too bad yourself!" She says smirking

I take the chance and lean in to kiss her. We are interrupted just as our lips are about to touch by a wail from the kitchen. Taylor jumps and rushes out with me hot on her heels.

"What happened?" She asks as we see mum and Gemma in fits of laughter and Livy sitting with a bowl and a wooden spoon on the floor.

"She didn't want me to use the spoon to cook, she obviously needed it for drumming. Definitely the child of at least one good musician." Gemma said pointing at Taylor. I stuck my tongue out in response.

After we've had tea and treacle tart, we get back on the road to London. The next day was the VS show rehearsal and Taylor couldn't be late.
