why did they make me agonise for an entire week?? why couldn't they have just said that I'd hear back around the first week of March instead???
#also apparently the way it works is that you get nominated & then they have another meeting where a different committee talks about money#and specifically how many positions they can fund#there's x spots that are “sure” and then a couple of additional ones potentially if there is enough funding#so they have a ranked list of nominees on the basis of which they assign the positions#apparently my rank is high enough that im in the safe/sure spots???#but if you're so sure.... why the fuck did you not tell me earlier#i asked about the timeline! and they told me oh you'll hear later this week or by x at the latest AND THEN I DIDNT HEAR ANYTHING#if they hadnt said anything i would have just led my life in peace#i am happy but also i am upset#p

Chapter 2 - The Phone Call.
Prologue
Chapter 1
Masterlist
Disclaimer: I did not write this story as a way to fetishize children having children. It is not about that. I wrote this story because I wondered what it would be like if Harry had a son, who also became a celebrity during Harry’s career. In order for the age of Harry’s sons to fit the career timeline I had to lower the age of Harry. I do not believe that children having children is a good thing nor do I try to fetishize it. I understand that this topic may be disturbing or disgusting to some people. If you do not like the idea of this story, then you don’t need to read it.
[Harry Styles sitting next to Ben Andrews (Lux’s cousin]
October.28.2012 London, England
•Harry• "Hello, Benjamin." Noah greeted Lux's cousin, Ben looked up shyly before mumbling a hi and then looking down.
"You're quite intimidating." I chuckled, seeing he made Ben, who was talking to everyone go quiet. He had the same effect on the hostess.
"Good." He mumbled, sitting down in the seat, he loved that feeling. No one wanting to talk to him out fear. Just a 9-year-old boy who made everyone terrified and thrived off of it.
I never understood why, but there were many people who got highly intimidated of him. For years people told me that 'the way he stands screams danger'.
He's been like this ever since primary school, daycare even. A real tough guy that got every girl attracted to him, even if they were just 4-years-old.
His first fight was at 2-years-old, it started off as a yelling match, until Noah threw punches at the boy who was a year older then him, all over a simple wooden block. The fight result in Noah getting a "red card" from his disturbed daycare teacher and a 3-year-old with a bloody lip.
If someone were to come between him and his persona, something so powerful will arise in him. He'll curse at them, throw things, anything to show them who they've messed with.
That made Noah who he was.
It showed how much he needed to like and trust you in order for vulnerability to show. Some people called him mysterious after this trait.
What a great combination, mysterious and dangerous. Described the 142 centimeter boy perfectly.
I never encouraged, nor discouraged his hunger for being persuaded that way. But it was never an act either, it was truly how Noah was, he's always been like that and he always will be.
I may not understand other peoples perspectives of him, but I could see where they were coming from in a way.
He was the most stereotypical boy you could ever meet. He looks at every girl, he runs around without a shirt on, he swears, he fights, he played every sport he could think of when he was younger. His most favourite sport of all time being baseball, followed by ice hockey. And he played both from when he was a toddler until he was 7. Anything boys "typically did" he did it all because it was the way of his personality.
Noah took a seat in-between Tom and I, he rested his elbow on the table and ran his hand throw his hair, I noticed his eyes would glance over at Ben with almost a look of jealousy in his eyes.
Oh.
Ben was sitting to the left of me. Ever since Noah was a baby, he always sat to the left of me at restaurants. Everyone in our family knew it and consciously never sat there, but a 4-year-old boy wouldn't know that.
"Noah!" Lux giggled, pointing to him trying to get out of Lou's lap, Lou gave Noah a look asking if she could go to him. Noah nodded and Lux ran over to him.
"Hello Luxie," Noah smiled lifting her into his lap.
Everyone talked waiting for the waitress.
She came eventually, but when she got to Noah, she stuttered, almost taken aback. "Wow, you're eyes are so blue. Oh God, I'm sorry. I've just never seen that before, " she said mesmerized.
"Thanks," Noah stared directly into her eyes, on purpose. "Sorry, um what can I get you?" "Fish and chips please."
• • •
"Dad, hide me please," Noah whispered, panic in his voice. "What, Why?" Harry frowned confused by his sons actions, "That waitress, I know her, now hide me! Don't draw attention."
"Who, her?" Tom nodded to the woman who was walking over to the table, specifically right behind Noah's chair.
Noah nodded, sinking in his chair and cover the side of his face.
"Hello, Noah." She smiled, her British accent was thick, "How's it going?"
"It's going great," Noah swallowed hard, his knee starting to bounce up and down.
"My daughter's still waiting on that call from you," She said, "And I'm still waiting for my phone to get fixed Lucy," Noah said with gritted teeth.
"It's been almost 2 months, how long can it take?" Lucy raised her eyebrow.
"As long as it needs to be fixed again." Noah replied, jaw clentched.
"Here's her number again, just in case you forget it," She immediately took out her pen and pad, writing on it fast, and handing it to him.
"Never- never in my life have I seen someone try to get their daughter to date someone so bad," Noah grunted, taking the paper and shook his head,
"Some parents want what's best for their children Noah, and I see that your are. Or to you, I'm a bad mother for that right?" Lucy frowned at Noah, trying to make him feel bad.
"We're nine- That's not even- I don't even remember her name Lucy." Noah sighed trying to argue but giving up, "It's Sabrina, Sabrina McCullen." Lucy smiled knowing she was breaking Noah to say yes.
"Just give my daughter a chance, she's a model too, maybe that'll somewhat change your mind." Noah's eyes did perk up hearing the information, "I told you, when the phones fixed," he smiled fake and widely, "Now have a nice day."
"We'll be waiting," Lucy walked off, and that's when Noah groaned, slouching down in his seat, about to crumple the paper.
"Keep it son, you'll need it." Noah looked up to his father with discomfort in his eyes, before putting it in his pocket.
"Who was that?" Tom asked, "I met her here a few months ago and a few times after that, she wouldn't shut up about how her daughter was my age and that we should date."
"She gave me her daughters number, so I told her my phone was broken and when it got fixed then I'd give her call."
"But Noah, your phone works perfectly, why haven't you?" Harry questioned, earning a glare from Noah, "Not what she thinks is it? If she knew that, she would probably try to get mine and I don't want that."
"Just call her, you never know," Harry suggested, "Yeah, if she's anything like her mother, I'll know for sure," Noah shook his head sighing.
"I'm surprised, I've never known my son to give up a chance with a girl," Harry chuckled, "Well almost every girl I don't meet through her annoying mother."
"Wait, are you saying, Noah is scared of someone? The Noah Styles, scared of someone?" Lou said in a some what genuinely shocked voice, earning an eye roll from Noah.
"No, I'm not scared of her, it's called avoiding someone you don't have an interest in someone."
A phone then started to ring at the table, "Oh Noah, it can't be yours. Yours is broken." Lucy said walking with the drinks our table ordered prior to our last order, along with another waitress.
Noah took in a deep breathe through his nose and let it out the same way, a look of annoyance on his features as he looked at a smirking Tom.
"I'm sorry, I need to take this." John apologized, looking at his phone and excusing himself and walking away from the table.
"You see what I mean," Noah said through gritted teeth, after she left, "Imagine having to see and hear that every time you visit your girlfriend."
"God I can hear it now. 'I'm the one who put you two together'. Probably trying to use my modelling career to make her daughter famous." Noah
"Then if you're not scared why don't you tell her that? Say you're not interested." Tom asked, intrigued, "Because I'm not that much of an asshole." Noah responded bluntly, "Hey, watch it," Harry scolded, knowing there was a much younger child sitting next to me and he nodded to him.
You'd think Harry would scold his son for swearing in general but boy did he give up on that a long time ago.
"It's fine, Harry," Dean, Lux's uncle and Ben's father laughed, "He's heard worse."
"But Noah, give her a chance, so what? Like you said you're just nine. It's not it will be long term and you're going to get married next week." Dean said, "Well to Lucy is it!" Noah grunted, "Aw, come on Noah. You never know," I smirked, "I'll think about it." Noah mumbled.
"Now can we please take about something else? God knows she listening or spiked my drink." Noah groaned, "Yes," Tom said and began talking to him about football.
•Harry• I saw John walk towards my chair, "Harry, I need to talk to you," John said quietly into my ear, I nodded "Sure," and followed him to the foyer.
"That was a call from a director, it was for Noah." He said to me, his demeanour serious.
I nodded, listening. "The director wants to meet him, and maybe cast him for a lead role. This is very important for Noah and his career," He explained. "But we both don't want to schedule a meeting unless you, Rose, or both of you give permission for it to happen."
"So Harry, would he be allowed to go to the audition?" He asked, "Well of course," I told him, without hesitation, "If it's something he'll want to do." Who I was kidding, Noah loved acting, and his first lead role in a movie would be amazing.
"Schedule it right now." I told him
"They said we could pick the date, but within now or next month. No later." "Where?" "New York." "Ok, ask if they're available for November 12."
"We'll be there around that time, and then we're leaving the next day. That's a good time to do it." John nodded and began to call the director back, telling him the details as well as listening to the directors.
After saying goodbye, he hung up the phone, "It's settled then. New York City, November 12. I'll talk to Noah later."
We both walked back to the table.

Dinner was finished, everyone was either talking or on their phones. Noah chose to be on his phone, what a mistake that was.
Lucy walked by the table, "So Noah," Noah jumped in his seat, startled by her sudden presence behind him, "Guess you got that phone fixed?" Noah swore he could just scream and yell at her, he was about to, so close to, until-
"It's actually my phone," Tom looked at her, grabbing the white iPhone 4S from Noah's hand, Lucy huffed and walked away.
"Oh my God, thank you. I was close to strangling her,"
• • •
It was late. Harry and Noah had just got home.
Noah was in room, emptying his pants pockets, and pulled out the stupid piece of paper. throwing it on the bed.
After brushing his teeth, Noah sat on his bed, picking up his phone and the paper. He sighed, looking in-between both objects. Fighting himself if he should just call her or not. Noah sighed going into his contacts and putting her name and number into his phone.
"Maybe one day," he mumbled tossing the note into his nightstand drawer.
