We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time's forever frozen, still
~~~~~
"OH MY GOD"
Louis and Harry laughed while looking at Darcy who had her jaw dropped open
She looked up at Louis and Harry "Everything is for me?"
Harry leaned against Louis "Anything you want, it's yours"
She frowned "I didn't get you anything"
Louis smiled "You're here with us love, that's all that matters"
She picked up her toy camera and ran to sit between Louis and Harry
She aimed the camera up high "Smile!!"
Louis and Harry laughed as the flash hit.
For the second photo, all 3 were smiling and Darcy had her nose scrunched from how hard they were holding her
And for the third….
For the third they were both kissing her cheek as she smiled

Zayn was seated drinking a cup of hot chocolate when Yaser gave him wrapped gift
Zayn frowned and looked up at him "I told you I didn't need anything"
Yaser smiled "It's not much…. I promise it was no issue"
Zayn nodded and took it "Thank you" He looked at the gift "Do you want me to open it now?"
Yaser shrugged, Zayn put the cup of hot chocolate down on the table beside him and started to unwrap the gift
When he noticed it was a photo album, he froze
"There aren't many…. But they're all you when you're younger" Zayn slowly nodded "Every child deserves an album, yours just happens to be much- much smaller"
Zayn nodded, he opened the first page and smiled "Was I really that small?" He said before he looked at Yaser
Yaser sat down beside him and nodded "You were, Every second we saw you we were worried…. But you pulled through"
Zayn nodded "Why did you keep it?" He said turning to look at Yaser "It would've just been a bad memory of what you lost"
Yaser smiled "It would've been an amazing memory of our oldest"
Zayn shook his head "Second"
Yaser patted Zayn's back "Oldest…. Our first never made it, but out oldest did"
Zayn nodded, he continued to flip through the photos and furrowed his brows when he saw the last empty page
Yaser chuckled and Zayn turned to him
"Did you notice the necklace Trisha is always wearing?" Zayn nodded "There are 3 photos in there…. One of both of us with each of our sons" Zayn nodded
"I feel like I failed as a parent for not having photo albums now"
Yaser chuckled "All her photos are in your phone, and albums can start at anytime"
Zayn smiled and flipped to the first photo again "Right"
"Zayn!! Come here for a moment"
Zayn looked at Yaser "Do you know what they're planning?"
Yaser chuckled "All I know is that my granddaughter is involved"
They both stood up and walked towards the entry area of the house
Niall and Trisha were standing and smiling, Zayn and Yaser's eyebrows both shot up
"Now what's going on?"
They both moved to the side, and there Estrella stood in a full black overcoat
She hesitated before she looked at Zayn "Do you like it baba?"
"Wear black, always. Because then nobody can see the blood on you, whether it's yours or somebody else's"
Zayn blinked and looked at her, he smiled and nodded "Yeah, I do."
She perked up "Really?" She said walking towards him
Zayn nodded and knelt down once she was in front of him "Yeah."
She smiled "I match you now"
Zayn chuckled and kissed her beauty mark then nodded "Is that what you want, little lady?"
She nodded "Yeah"
Zayn pushed her at arms length and looked at her again "Ya know what?"
"Hmm?"
"You wear it better than me!!"
She laughed and threw herself at him, he fell back on one of his hands and held onto her tightly
Maybe the colour black isn't all bad after all
~~~~~
"DARCY"
Darcy perked up and slid off the chair, Louis and Harry followed her out and smiled as she ran to Estrella
They both hugged then Estrella gave Darcy a box and smiled
Darcy smiled back while jumping in place "For me?"
Estrella frantically nodded "Yeah!!"
Darcy immediately stopped and frowned "I didn't get you anything...."
Estrella shrugged "Thas'ok"
Darcy tilted her head to the side "It is?"
Estrella nodded "Uh-huh"
Darcy looked at Louis and Harry "Is it?"
They both walked towards her and knelt down beside her "We'll get her something another day, how about that?"
Darcy quickly nodded, both girls hugged before Estrella ran outside
Darcy sat there in the floor and opened the box and squealed
They both furrowed their brows "What is it?"
She pulled out a unicorn teddy bear and showed it to them "SHE REMEMBERED!!"
Louis furrowed his brow "Didn't you already get one?"
She laughed "This is different Lou"
Harry frowned "How?"
She put her hand back into the box and pulled out what looked like a plastic piece of candy
She put it into the unicorn's mouth, and it immediately started to make sounds like it was eating it
She squeaked and hugged it tightly "My first friend got me a gift!!" She said looking between both Louis and Harry
They both smiled and nodded and walked behind her
"We are calling him later, aren't we?" Harry whispered to Louis
"Yep" Louis whispered back
~~~~~
Zayn was asleep when his phone rang, he reached across his nightstand half asleep, picked it up and answered it
"What?"
"We need to get your daughter a gift and she needs to like it, so help us with that"
Zayn looked at the time then sat up "I really hope this is a good reason Tomlinson" He mumbled
"Oh little one did we take you up from your nap?"
"I will stab you"
Louis went quiet then sighed "Sorry…."
"What is it?"
"We need your help?"
"You're an adult. Help yourself"
"It's gift related, for Estrella"
"I stand by my point"
"Yes, we know, we are adults yet we suck at choosing gifts,but give us some tips here. Where did you get the unicorn from?" Harry said
Zayn sat up and leaned against the headboard "I didn't buy it, i built it"
The line went quiet then Harry said
"You…. Built it?"
"Yes"
"In 5 days"
Zayn snorted "Don't be ridiculous"
"What?"
"Nothing can be built and make it work fine in 5 days, I had a model. I just rebuilt it"
"But…. You rebuilt it in 5 days"
"Yes"
Louis and Harry both sighed "What can we get Estrella?"
Zayn looked out the window at the starry night "Anything moon or stars related, or ask Darcy. To make it mean more"
~~~~~
Louis and Harry both nodded "Seems easy"
"If you think so" Zayn said before a voice came up from the other line "I gotta go"
"Before you do, can we ask why you have a unicorn model?"
"No" He said then hung up
They turned to each other and raised both of their eyebrows "It sounds easy"
~~~~~
"THAT ONE! NO NO THAT ONE- NO I WANT THAT ONE"
Louis and Harry blinked then turned to each other "You say it" They both said at the exact same time
Harry shoved Louis ahead and he sighed
"Darcy…." She looked at Louis and nodded "You know this is for Estrella. Right?"
She nodded and turned back ahead "Which one?"
Louis sighed "For. Estrella. Right?"
"Yeah"
Louis nodded and stood beside Harry "Ok that's good"
"But I want one too"
~~~~~
Louis rubbed his jaw and cleared his throat "Ready?"
She nodded and jumped out of the car and ran towards the door
"Do we need to go with her?"
Louis and Harry stayed quiet then closed the car and ran outside and behind her
She opened the door and ran inside "HELLO"
Trisha was the first to look at her and smiled "Hello"
She quickly ran towards Trisha and hugged her, getting a kiss to her head
"Where's E?"
Harry and Louis shared a look "E?" They whispered
Trisha pushed a curl behind Darcy's ear "She's in the backyard with-" She stopped and furrowed her brows "Far too many people"
She then smiled "C'mon"
They both walked outside and Estrella saw Darcy
"DARCY!"
Darcy put the box over her head "I GOT YOU SOMETHING"
Niall's eyes widened and he held up his camera and immediately started to take photos
Darcy walked towards her friend and they both sat on the floor, Darcy gave her the box and Estrella opened it
She gasped "It's a star!!" She looked at Zayn "IT'S A STAR!!" She then looked at Yaser "SHE GOT ME A STAR"
Darcy nodded "The nice man said it was real" She whispered
She gasped and quickly stood up, she ran towards Zayn and gave him the necklace "Put it on, Put it on, Put it on"
Zayn knelt down and put it on for her before she ran towards Darcy and tackled her into a hug
"I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT"
Louis leaned into Harry "Let's never tell them it's not actually a real star"
Harry smiled and nodded, he held Louis who leaned into him and kissed his head
Both not noticing Niall taking their photo
