"So were you just never gonna text me to to tell me when you were coming home?"Camryn asks, hands folded over her chest and resting just above her extremely swollen belly.
Harry looks at Camryn in confusion setting down his keys on the kitchen counter, "I told you I was going out to get a drink with Niall."
"You did tell me that,"Camryn tries to take a deep breath, her anger is boiling up inside and about to spill out, "but what you didn't tell me was you were gonna be out until midnight and not answer any of my texts and calls."
Harry sighs dragging a hand over his face, "babe I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry. I was just having a good time with Niall."
Camryn shakes her head and scoffs at Harry's statement, "you don't get it, do you?" She looks at him in disbelief. "It's not just about tonight, Harry! It's about every other night when you're working late at the studio. You're never home. You always stay late with the boys." Camryn stops herself right when she feels her throat getting choked up. She doesn't want to cry. She wants to stand her ground.
In her 37th week of pregnancy, Camryn's back has already been acting up, but the stress of tonight has caused it to be so much worse. Her lower back spasms, causing her to wince painfully as her face scrunches up. She immediately puts a hand on the spot to try and rub it away.
Harry instinctively reaches out his hand as he begins to walk closer to her.
"Stop. Don't,"Camryn pinches out in pain holding up a hand to halt him.
Harry sighs and grabs at his curly locks as he waits for the pain to wash off of Camryn's face. When she seems to regain her composure a bit, he talks again, "Camryn, I'm sorry. It's just stressful, okay? It's stressful to be a dad. To be a dad so young. And sometimes I just want to spend the night out with the boys and forget about everything. Its nice sometimes to forget about everything,"Harry immediately regrets the statement as soon as it leaves his mouth, "wait Camryn I-".
"You did not just say that,"Camryn gawks at Harry shaking her head and starting to let the tears spill out of her eyes, "Tell me you did not just say that."
"Cam-"Harry tries to jump in before Camryn can speak again.
"You want to forget us, huh? I'm so sorry your wife and daughter are so much trouble for you. It must be real nice to be able to forget everything, huh? Well some of us can't. Some of us don't get to go out on stage every night and suddenly become a rockstar. Some of us are married to the rockstar and have to pick up the details in between,"Camryn starts to raise her voice with it cracking with tears.
"Camryn wait-"Harry tries to interrupt again wanting to calm Camryn down.
"No, listen to me, Harry!"Camryn yells, "you think it's easy for me to be a mum so young? Well it's not. It's so hard, Harry. It's so hard. Especially when you're on tour. I have to do it all by myself. And Darcy misses you. She had to go to bed tonight without her daddy because he chose to get a drink instead. Do you understand that Harry? Do you understand how selfish you're being?"
"Babe,"Harry walks over to Camryn and reaches out to grab her hand.
"Don't-"Camryn yanks her hand away and backs away from Harry grabbing her keys off of the counter.
"Cam, where are you going?"Harry yells trying to follow her as she walks towards the doorstep. It's not very hard since she's nine months pregnant with a belly almost 3 times as wide as her small frame causing her to waddle.
"I don't know,"Camryn sobs with her hand on the doorknob of the front door, "I just need to go for a drive, or something. I need to get out. I need some time alone. I can't do this right now."
"Babe,"Harry urges grabbing Camryn's wrist to turn her around to face him instead of the front door, "you need to calm down before you drive. You can't drive like this."
Camryn yanks her wrist from Harry's grasp and sniffles, "I'll calm down when I get in the car."
Harry reaches up to wipe some of the tears off of Camryn's face.
"What are you doing?"Camryn exclaims swatting his hand away, "stop Harry! You're not just gonna be able to fix this with your charm and words like you always do. I'm fed up, Harry. I'm tired of this. It's been going on for too long."
"Babe I'm so-"Harry begins as Camryn opens the door.
"Save it,"Camryn says before she slams the door in Harry's face. Harry kicks the door with an explicit leaving his mouth. Darcy's cry starts from her room, she was woken up during all of the commotion. Harry sighs and takes a few deep breaths to calm himself before hurriedly walking up the stairs to Darcy's room.
"Hi, baby girl,"Harry whispers walking over to Darcy's crib and picking her up. Her curly hair is matted down and still damp from her nightly bath. Her pacifier is stuck in between her plump lips which are quivering and her eyes are beginning to redden as her tears flow steadily, they brighten a bit at the sight of Harry; she hasn't seen him since this morning.
"Hi baby,"he grabs Darcy gently out of her crib and cuddles her to his chest as he begins to sway side to side. Her head falls to his shoulder as he puts one hand on her back rubbing up and down. Her chest shakes with sobs as Harry shushes her, keeping his lips in her damp hair.
"You're okay, baby girl. Shh. Daddy's got you. Yeah. You're okay,"Harry whispers into her hair as her sobs start to quiet, "did mummy and daddy wake you up? I'm sorry. Daddy's sorry."
Darcy turns her cheek on his shoulder to look at him. He smiles down at her making eye contact and continuing to rock, "hi baby girl. I love you. I love you so much."
Darcy sleepily rubs her eyes and places her warm hand at the base of Harry's neck where his skin is exposed from his t-shirt.
"Go back to sleep, baby. It's late,"Harry whispers nuzzling his nose into Darcy's. Darcy brings her hand to rest on the side of Harry's neck as she looks at him with tear filled eyes.
"Come here baby,"Harry says as he carries her over to the rocking chair in the corner of her room, "daddy needs some Darcy cuddles tonight."
Harry sits down on the chair and puts his feet up on the footrest in front of the rocking chair. Darcy slides down on Harry so that her cheek is against his chest, she cuddles a hand next to her face.
"Thank you for being the best baby girl in the world,"Harry whispers dropping his lips to the top of her head. One of his hands traces up and down her back while the other cradles her face closer to his chest.
Harry begins to silently cry as he looks down at his little girl and replays the events of tonight. He knew he should've gotten home sooner. He knew it while he was out with Niall, but he was just having so much fun, and it felt nice to just be a teenage boy with no worries. To forget it all. But he realizes now looking down at his little girl curled up on his chest that he'd never want to forget it. Because even the fame, and sold out stadiums, and albums, doesn't compare to how it feels to have Darcy and Camryn, his girls, lay on his chest. And nothing is more important, he has just been losing sight of that recently.
"I love you so much, Darcy,"Harry whispers shakily into Darcy's hair, "I'm so sorry daddy didn't come back earlier tonight."
They sit and rock for another twenty minutes before Harry puts Darcy back in her crib. She fell asleep 15 minutes ago, but Harry didn't want to put her down. He just wanted to cuddle his Darcy.
After Darcy is returned to her crib, Harry walks tiredly into the master bedroom praying silently that Camryn returned home already. A pit that had already been growing since Camryn slammed the door grows even bigger when he realizes that she's still not home. He sighs and kicks off his shoes, jacket, shirt, and pants. He pulls on an old grey pair of sweatpants and decides to remain shirtless. He pulls out his phone hoping to see text messages from Camryn. Nothing. He calls her, but she lets it ring.
"Come on Cam,"he mumbles exhausted and just wanting to talk through the problem.
After 10 minutes of pacing around the bedroom trying to decide what to do, he hears the front door open and blows out a sigh of relief.
Harry rushes down the stairs to see Camryn rushing straight to the bathroom, she catches sight of him right before she closes the bathroom door, "you're lucky I had to pee."
Harry smirks slightly as she closes the door. She seems to have cooled down and he's grateful for it. He can never stand when they're mad at each other. It usually never gets to the point of them yelling at each other, there was just something different about tonight. A lot of built up anger finally came out. After a minute Camryn waddles out of the bathroom with her hands rubbing and and down the sides of her stomach.
"Can we talk?"Harry asks leaning his hip against the cool granite counter with his arms folded.
"Yeah,"Camryn nods looking up to meet Harry's eyes.
"I'm sorry, Cam. You're completely right. I should've come home. I've been so selfish lately. I just get into these funks, and I'm not trying to make excuses but, I just get in these funks where I don't like to feel left out, and so I stay out late with the boys. And it's stupid. And it's selfish,"Harry tries to remain his composure as he talks, but some silent tears begin to fall, "and I'm so sorry. I love you so much and I'm so grateful for you. You do so much for Darcy and I and it was selfish of me to not help when I had the chance to."
Camryn sighs looking down at her stomach. Her back is aching so bad and the skin around her stomach is being stretched unbearably. They told her this baby was a big one. In the last trimester, especially now that she's in the final weeks, she has found that to be very true. She's so tired and just wants to be done with the fighting. She just wants Harry to hold her and rub her back and tell her that everything will be alright. Her hand goes to her lower back and pushes in as she winces.
"Can I help now?"Harry asks afraid to go near her to rub her back because of her not wanting him to touch her during their fight.
Camryn shakes her head, "I'm fine,"she takes her hand off of her back to prove the point. "He's just huge."
Harry nods his head wiping at his cheeks to dry them, "Cam, I'm so sorry. What can I do to help? You do so much for me and Darcy. Is there anything I can do to make this up to you?"
Camryn looks at Harry and takes a deep breath, her arms cradling her stomach. She's known Harry long enough to know when he truly feels sorry and terrible about what he's done, and tonight is one of those times.
"It's okay,"she relents looking at him, "thanks for apologizing. Can you just try to maybe spend more time at home? I know it's hard when you're in the studio and making the album, it's just-"Camryn's voice catches in her throat as she begins to cry again. "We just- Darcy and I- miss you when you're gone. It's hard to do it alone. Especially being pregnant. It's just hard. It's hard for you to be gone all day and all night. And then when I know you're out with the boys it just makes me feel crappy because it makes me feel like you'd rather be with them than me. It just sucks. I just miss you."
Harry's heart breaks at the sight of Camryn's tears and at her blubbering out her vulnerable explanation for getting mad.
"Can I?"Harry asks walking towards Camryn, not knowing if he's permitted to touch her again. All he wants to do is comfort her. To make her feel better because he knows this is all his fault.
Camryn nods her head and holds open her arms for him to walk into.
"I'm so sorry baby, you're right. I need to be home more. I've let work get to my head,"Harry says with his chin on top of Camryn's head.
Her cheek rests on Harry's chest as she sniffles before talking, "thank you. That would make things so much better."
"And Camryn,"Harry begins, "I would never rather be with the boys than you. You're my girl. I always want to be with you. You're my favorite person."
Harry leans his chin down to kiss the top of Camryn's head as he breathes in her scent, grateful that she's finally permitting his touch, "I love you."
Camryn looks up at Harry and uses one of her hands to cup his damp cheek, "I love you too."
She leans in and gives Harry a kiss. His hands move from around her back to cradle her face as his lips work on hers. Camryn's hands move to Harry's bare chest, resting just above his stomach.
After a couple minutes of making out, Camryn breaks away out of breath and her feet and legs aching from standing, her belly hanging low between her knees.
"As much as I love this,"Camryn smirks up at Harry with flushed cheeks walking a finger up his warm chest, "your son is gigantic and making it pretty much impossible to stand up anymore."
Harry's face lights up in a smile as he looks down at Camryn, "that's okay. Soon enough we'll be able to last for hours,"Harry winks.
Camryn slaps his chest playfully as she laughs.
"Alright, smart guy, lets get to bed,"she allows a yawn to escape her lips letting her cheek fall sleepily to his chest, "Darcy seems to think that 6 in the morning is a perfectly good time to wake up, which I don't agree with."
Harry chuckles a bit kissing the top of Camryn's head, "I'll get her tomorrow morning. It's my 'I'm sorry gift'."
"Really?"Camryn smiles looking up at Harry, "maybe I should yell at you more often. I might get some more sleep,"she jokes.
Harry laughs and shakes his head as he takes her hand to lead her upstairs.
