Another baby girl X Dad Harry Styles

MasterList

Harry Styles Masterlist

The living room was a mess of toys, coloring books, and snack crumbs basically, an everyday sight in the Styles household. Hattie, five years old and full of energy, sat cross-legged on the floor, scribbling furiously with her crayons. Felix, two years old, was beside her, stacking blocks in a precarious tower while Finn Felix's Twin, toddled around with one of Harry’s beanies pulled over his face, bumping into furniture and giggling every time he fell over.

Harry and I exchanged amused glances before settling onto the couch. It was time.

“Alright, everyone,” I called, clapping my hands together. “Daddy and I have something really exciting to tell you.”

Felix immediately abandoned his block tower, his wide brown eyes lighting up. “dog?!”

I laughed. “No, not a dog.”

“Are we going to Disneyland?” Hattie asked hopefully.

Harry chuckled. “Not Disneyland either.”

Finn, still blinded by the beanie, tripped over his own feet and plopped onto his bottom. He blinked up at us and declared, “Juice?”

I reached for his sippy cup and handed it to him, trying not to laugh. “Not juice, baby.”

Hattie huffed, crossing her arms. “Okay, then what is it?”

Harry took a deep breath, his dimples deepening as he grinned. “Mummy’s got a baby in her belly.”

Silence.

Then

Hattie’s mouth dropped open. “WHAT?”

Felix’s eyebrows scrunched together. “right now?” He looked at my stomach, suspicious. “Where?”

Finn, oblivious to the importance of the announcement, happily sucked on his juice.

“Yes, right now,” I said, placing a hand on my belly. “The baby is growing inside me, and in a few months, you’re going to have a new little brother or sister.”

Hattie gasped, her hands flying to her cheeks. “I’M GONNA BE A BIG SISTER AGAIN?!”

Felix narrowed his eyes. “brother or sister?”

Harry nodded. “Yep.”

Felix let out a groan and flopped onto the floor dramatically. “No sister”

Hattie whipped her head toward him, scandalized. “Excuse me?!”

Harry bit his lip, trying not to laugh. “What’s wrong with another girl, buddy?”

Felix huffed, folding his arms. "Bossy.”

Hattie gasped even louder, pointing an accusing finger at him. “Take that back!”

Felix stuck his tongue out at her.

Harry sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Oh, this is going well.”

Meanwhile, Finn had crawled onto my lap, pressing his tiny hands against my stomach. “Baby?” he asked curiously.

I smiled, brushing his curls back. “Yeah, sweetheart. There’s a baby in there.”

His face lit up. “Baby juice?”

I blinked. “What?”

Harry snorted, rubbing his eyes. “No, Finn, not juice.”

Finn frowned in confusion, then shrugged and went back to sipping his drink like he had far more important things to worry about.

Hattie finally recovered from Felix’s insult, her excitement returning tenfold. “I don’t care what it is. I’m gonna help Mummy with everything changing nappies, feeding it, dressing it up in cute outfits"

A few weeks later, we all gathered in the backyard to find out whether baby number four was going to be a boy or a girl. Hattie was practically bouncing with excitement, while Felix and Finn stood with their arms crossed, already looking unimpressed.

“brother,” Felix muttered.

Finn nodded seriously. “No girls.”

Hattie shot them both a glare. “You two are so rude.”

Harry placed a hand on my back, whispering, “Ready?”

I nodded, taking a deep breath before lifting the confetti popper. “Alright, guys! Count us down!”

Hattie led the charge. “Three…two…ONE!”

With a loud pop, pink confetti exploded into the air, raining down on all of us.

Hattie screamed in delight. “IT’S A GIRL! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!” She jumped up and down, clapping her hands. “I’M GETTING A BABY SISTER!”

Felix let out a groan so dramatic it could’ve won him an Oscar. “No”

Finn, catching on to his older brother’s despair, threw his hands in the air. “Oh no!”

Harry burst out laughing, ruffling Felix’s hair. “Oh, come on, bud. You’ll love her.”

Felix crossed his arms. “No”

I kneeled down, cupping his little face. “I promise, once she’s here, you’re going to be the best big brother ever. She’s going to love you so much.”

“Fine." Felix grumbled, but I caught the little smile tugging at his lips.

Meanwhile, Finn had started running in circles, shouting, “More girls! More girls!” as if he had suddenly embraced his fate.

Harry wrapped an arm around me, pressing a kiss to my temple. “Another little girl,” he murmured. “Lucky me.”

I leaned into him, watching as our children bickered, laughed, and played in the pink confetti. “Lucky us.”

And just like that, our family was growing again one more little heartbeat, one more little voice, and a whole lot more love.

The hospital room was quiet, save for the gentle hum of monitors and the soft breaths of our newborn daughter curled up in my arms. She was so tiny, her delicate fingers barely bigger than the tip of my pinky, her lips pursed as she slept peacefully against my chest. My heart felt impossibly full.

Harry sat beside me on the bed, one hand resting on my knee, the other gently tracing along the baby's soft cheek. His eyes were red-rimmed, exhaustion clinging to his features, but his smile was radiant.

“You are incredible,” he whispered for what felt like the hundredth time. He leaned forward, pressing a kiss to my forehead, then one to our daughter’s. “I’m so proud of you, love.”

I let out a tired laugh. “You keep saying that.”

“Because it’s true.” He squeezed my hand. “You brought another perfect little person into the world. I don’t know how you do it, but you amaze me every single time.”

Before I could reply, there was a soft knock on the door, and then Anne peeked her head inside. Her eyes were already misty. “Can we come in?”

Harry and I shared a glance before he stood, practically bouncing with excitement. “Of course! Come meet our girl.”

The door pushed open, and in tumbled Hattie, her blonde curls wild from excitement, followed by Anne, who was carrying one twin on each hip Finn in one arm, Felix in the other.

Hattie skidded to a stop, eyes as wide as saucers when she spotted the baby in my arms. “Is that her?” she gasped, her little hands clutched to her chest.

I nodded. “Come say hello.”

Hattie tiptoed closer like she was approaching something sacred. “She’s so tiny,” she whispered, awestruck.

Felix, still in Anne’s arms, peered down at the baby with a deep frown. “She’s not doin’ anything.”

Harry laughed, taking Felix from Anne. “That’s because she’s a newborn, buddy. She mostly sleeps.”

Finn, now reaching for me from Anne’s other arm, pouted. “Mummy.”

Anne kissed his cheek before setting him down, and he toddled over to me, his chubby hands gripping the blanket covering the baby. “Baby?”

“Yep,” I said, shifting the blanket slightly so he could get a better look.

Finn stared at her for a long moment before looking back up at me. “She…asleep?”

“Yep, she’s sleeping.”

“Boring,” Felix declared, leaning against Harry with a huff.

Anne burst out laughing. “Oh, Felix, you are your father’s son.”

Harry feigned offense. “Oi! I was very interested in my baby sister when she was born.”

Anne raised an eyebrow. “You poked Gemma’s nose and then fell asleep.”

I stifled a giggle, and Harry sighed dramatically. “Right, well, at least one of my kids is excited.” He turned to Hattie, who was still staring at the baby like she had just discovered magic.

“Do you want to hold her?” I asked gently.

Hattie gasped. “Me?”

I nodded. “Come sit with me.”

Hattie scrambled onto the bed, practically vibrating with excitement as I helped place the tiny baby into her arms. Her face immediately melted into a look of pure adoration.

“Hi, baby,” she whispered. “I’m your big sister. I’m gonna take care of you forever.”

Harry placed a hand over his heart. “Oh, my God, my actual heart.”

Felix peeked over, his skepticism unwavering. “She’s still not doin’ anything.”

Finn, clearly having decided that being a big brother wasn’t all that exciting, toddled back to Anne and held up his arms. “Nana.”

Anne scooped him up, kissing the top of his head. “Alright, little one.” She then turned her attention to me, her gaze soft and full of emotion. “Oh, sweetheart.” Her voice wobbled slightly. “She’s just beautiful.”

I smiled. “Thank you.”

Anne walked over to me and leaned down, pressing a warm kiss to my forehead. “I am so proud of you,” she whispered, her voice thick with love. “You’ve built such a beautiful family, and I know how much work it takes. You’re an incredible mother.”

Tears pricked at my eyes. “I had a good example to follow.”

Anne let out a teary laugh and cupped my cheek for a moment before turning to Harry. She barely had to say anything before he pulled her into a tight hug.

“Another little girl,” Anne murmured against his shoulder. “You’re so lucky, Harry.”

“I know,” he said, squeezing her tighter. “I really, really know.”

I watched them, my heart swelling with gratitude. Seeing Harry with his mum, feeling the overwhelming love in the room, I knew just how lucky I was too.

“Alright,” Anne sniffled, pulling away and wiping her eyes. “What’s this little angel’s name?”

Harry and I exchanged a look, and then he smiled, reaching down to brush his fingers over the baby’s tiny hand. “Her name is Mabel.”

Hattie beamed. “I love it!”

Felix crossed his arms. “Hmph. ‘Kay.”

Harry smirked. “That’s the highest level of approval you’re getting from him.”

Finn, who had been nestled against Anne, suddenly perked up. “Mabel?”

I grinned. “That’s right, baby. Her name is Mabel.”

Finn looked at her, then back at us, then at Anne. “Cookie?”

We all burst into laughter, and Anne shook her head, smiling. “Oh, darling, you are your father’s son too.”

Harry held Felix a little closer, looking down at his newborn daughter, then at our little chaotic bunch. “Bloody hell, we’ve got four kids.”

I laughed, resting my head against his shoulder. “Yeah. We do.”
