Sophie and Harry wandered slowly around a small, family run baby shop, hand in hand. The pair were thankful that they chose a weekday to come shopping as it meant most fans, if not all, were at school, but still the paps lingered outside. Sophie could still only make small, slow steps, as her leg healed, but it was improving everyday. She was grateful for the quieter day. Recently Sophie had been stressed like never before, with the paps wanting to know everything about what went on with Olivia, and stopping at no lenghts to get their info, planning for the baby, and planning the wedding, the wedding which both Harry and Sophie had agreed to have after the baby was born, mostly Sophie, as she refused to look like a blown up whale on one of the most important days of her life. And she was also having to decide whether she was going to go back to work after the baby was born, somewhere she hadn't been since Olivia first became known to her, way in the past. Sophie didn't want to become one of those women who live off their parents, but she also didn't want to become one of those women who never saw their family because they were workaholics. She knew she would have to find a balance.

Harry was currently taking a 'break' from work. The whole band was, now the tour was done and dusted, the boys were taking a well deserved 'break', to focus on relationships and of course, themselves. He was struggling to hide his excitement for the next few months with the birth of his daughter looming, and his wedding soon after, it seemed life couldn't get much better.

''How about this one?'' Sophie pointed towards a white crib which was now sitting infront of her.
''Hmm.'' Before Sophie could do anything, Harry's grip dissapeared from her small hand and he was clambering into the grip ''Harry what are you doing?'' Sophie held in her laughter, as Harry interwined his hands, acting like sitting in a babies crib was a normal thing to do.
''Well if we are going to pay...'' He adjusted his arms so he could see the price tag, when he did his eyes widened, but only for a moment before continuing. ''...A hell of a lot of money, I need to be sure I can fit in it too.'' He spoke in a 'duh isn't it obvious' tone making Sophie smile, before she narrowed her eyes.
''You got that off keeping up with the kardashians!''
Harry's eyes moved from side to side before he replied. ''I may have. But it's your fault, you got me into it! It's addictive. And that Scott does have some good points.'' His index finger pointed towards the ceiling.



''Yeah yeah c'mon we still need to find a changing table.'' Sophie began to walk away but didn't sense the usual presence behind her so she turned around again, only to see Harry, still with his legs hanging over the edge of the crib, giving her the puppy dog eyes. ''Erm, Sophie, you know you love me...''
She only hummed, knowing what was coming next. ''Well cold you maybe help me get my beautiful arse out of our daughter's future crib.'' He fluttered his eyelashes as she rolled her eyes, pacing forward before holding out her hand.

''Hi!''
''Hey Soph!'' Penelope and Niall chimed as they made their way into the living room to join the others, but not before Niall could whisper something into Penny's ear as they walked, making her giggle quietly.

--------
Now Sophie and Harry stood in the kitchen, both making tea, yes I know, very british indeed. ''Sophie.'' Her name being called caused Sophie to turn around, but before she could take another breath his lips were on hers.All to quickly, he pulled away.

''What was that for?'' She asked bemused.
''Nothing.'' He pecked her lips once more before picking up two mugs and carrying them out to the living room, nearly skipping, I say nearly because he was carrying to mugs of hot liquid. Just as Harry exited, Penny entered making herself comfortable on the counter.
''So how you holding up? After, you know...'' Penny spoke. Before Sophie replied she glanced over to the corner of the kitchen where she lay on the floor thinking she was going to die, only two weeks ago.
''I'm okay, but I don't wanna talk about that.'' Sophie smiled cheekily. ''Things seem to be going very well with you and a certain irish man.''



''Yeah, he's great. I just don't know how I didn't see it before. I've known his for years.''
''Neither do I! You've dated so many twats in that time when all along there was your own little leprechaun waiting for you.'' She joked.
''I know I know. Niall can be a twat too, but he's my twat.'' Penny smiled.
Before Sophie could 'aw' a shout from the living room interrupted them. ''Hey!''
''Sorry honey!'' Penny spoke in a sickly sweet voice, trying to get back in his good books.
''Pass me a bucket.'' Sophie muttered whilst chuckling.
''Oh shutup Soph.'' Penny smiled at her friend. ''Anyways have you seen V recently?''
Sophie froze before speaking. ''Actually, I haven't, it's like she's dissapeared off the face of the earth.''
''Bit weird, don't you think?'' Penny questioned.
''A little, but I'm sure she has her reasons.''
''Yeah, oh I bet your looking forward to Harry being able to spend more time with you and the bubba.''

A glass could be heard smashing on the living room floor and a faint ''What the hell Harry?''

''What?'' Sophie asked, bemused.
''You know! The band going their seperate ways. That was their last tour, I thought you knew. Didn't Harry tell you.''
''No, I'm sorry I'm still slightly confused, what's going on?''







''One Direction's breaking up.''
