Broken Ring
Tumblr media
“They won’t have to cut it off, right?” you whimpered, feeling your lower lip tremble as you gazed forlornly at the glistening gem on your ring finger. Your doctor assured you that swelling in hands and feet was common during pregnancy, but it still shocked you when you couldn’t wiggle your ring past your knuckle.
You called Harry in a panic, explaining tearfully that the ring was stuck on your finger.
“I’ll be home in thirty,” he consoled you. “Put some ice on it ‘til I get back, okay? Don’t worry about it, lovie. It will all work out.”
You followed his instructions, icing your inflamed finger diligently until he got home. Paying such close attention to your ring brought you back to the day Harry had proposed to you.
The sunlight streaming through the trees overhead and the sound of the water lapping at the shore was permanently etched in your mind. Harry had been so young, only twenty years old at the time of his proposal. Now he was almost thirty, and proud to be expecting his first child.
“I didn’t expect you to be home so soon,” you sniffled as he walked into the kitchen, scooping you out of your chair and into his lap.
“Neither did the cops,” he joked. “Let’s see your little finger. Did the ice help?”
You removed the wad of ice and soaked washcloths from your hand only to find your finger more swollen and purple than you had left it.
“Ouch,” Harry said softly, tracing his finger over the bruised skin. “It’s hot to the touch, dove. Is it painful to touch?”
You shook your head slowly, a wave of tears threatening to spill out of your eyes and onto your cheeks.
“Try to twist it off,” he suggested. “Slowly, gently, like a Chinese finger trap.”
You tried to twist the ring off fruitlessly, every ounce of hope in your body dwindling. Harry’s face twisted in dismay as it became obvious that the ring wasn’t budging.
He tried oiling the skin, icing it more, and even wrapping it with dental floss, but nothing could help the ring over your swollen knuckle.
You had never dreamed that the ring you grew to love and treasure so much would meet its end at the mercy of a jewelry saw at urgent care. It was of utmost importance to you because of all of the memories it held. Now it was just a severed stone and band in the bottom of a clear Ziplock bag that you gripped as if your life depended on it.
“It’s okay, sweetheart,” Harry murmured into your hair as you clutched the accessory to your chest and leaned into him for solace. “I’ll buy you another ring, whichever one you want.”
“But…” you stuttered, “it’s not the same.”
“You can keep this forever,” Harry said. “We can get the diamond changed into a necklace or even put on a different band.”
“It feels like a broken promise,” you argued. “I’m never without my wedding ring.”
“All you need is right here,” Harry finalized, tapping your chest ever so slightly. “You’ve got every part of me right there, forever and always.”

warnings: corruption, smut, sex toy use, squirting, soft dom h, aftercare
ruin masterlist | main masterlist | harry styles masterlist
a/n: sorry it's been so long, i really just did not have the motivation for this and it was hard to find a place to continue without just jumping into the full blown hanky panky
~
A soft yawn leaves Harry’s lips as he sits up in bed, a hand coming up to rub at his eyes that are blurry with sleep. As soon as his vision clears up he's taking in his surroundings, confused for just a moment until he realizes where he is and remembers the events from yesterday. With the remembrance comes concern, as YN is not in bed with him and her ensuite bathroom is empty as far as he can see. So he gets out of the bed and begins his search for her, checking every room in the house before he makes it to the kitchen, and he doesn't find her there, either.
A look of confusion and a furrowed brow takes over his face as he begins to worry he's scared her off, deciding to peek out the living room window in search of her car. Just as he looks out, he slumps in relief as he sees her grabbing some Starbucks bags and cups out of the car before closing it and making her way back to the house. He can't help but notice her attire; a Rolling Stones t-shirt that she's cropped shorter herself, and some cute little athletic shorts that show off her ass. Most importantly, he can see the way her nipples are prominent through the material of the shirt, informing him that she'd gone braless.
His thoughts start to spiral immediately, picturing how she looks without the barrier of clothes between them, the sweet sounds she'd make if he were to play with her nipples. He's so lost in thought that he doesn't realize she's back in the house. Not until he hears the door close from the entryway, and he turns his head to see YN with the cutest look of conviction on her face as she tries to slip out of her tennis shoes with both of her hands full. He hurries over to her as he sees her struggling, grabbing the items from her hands, and she looks up at him with a sweet smile of appreciation before leaning up to press her lips to his.
Harry gladly returns the kiss and heads to the kitchen to sit everything down at her island, hopping onto a stool to wait for her to join him. He waits no more than a couple seconds before she's sliding into the one beside him and grabbing a coffee and one of the small bags with food inside of them. "I didn't know what you liked so I just grabbed some of the little egg bites, they're pretty good in my opinion. I used to have them sometimes until I started getting the spinach feta and egg white wrap," she rambles, and Harry thinks it's just the cutest thing, the way she gets all excited telling him her thought process.
"Well thank you, angel. I'm sure they're delicious, and that was very thoughtful of you," he makes sure to show his appreciation for her efforts and kindness, beginning to dig in as well. “Y’look so pretty, too,” he compliments her, popping one of the eggs into his mouth. The sentiment earns him the softest sweetest smile he’s ever seen, and she thanks him quietly before taking another sip of her coffee and following up with a bite of her wrap. He knows she’s getting shy on him so he doesn’t push it, and they finish up breakfast in comfortable silence, occasionally making small talk about the day they have planned.
Harry watches with a pout on his lips as her shoulders deflate when he says he has work today, and it takes everything in him not to call in for the day, but he knows he shouldn’t. So he does the next best thing; he takes YN into his arms and holds her there until he absolutely has to leave, and he even does that begrudgingly.
“Do you think you could come back over tonight? Spend another night with me?” YN breaks the silence in a peep against his chest, her muffled words making him chuckle. Nuzzling his face into her hair, he takes a deep breath before he responds.
“Yeah, I’ll come over tonight. Want me t'cook something for you?” he questions, laughing at her as she nods enthusiastically before leaning up to press her lips to his. He returns the kiss happily, and their little bubble is popped almost instantly as they realize he has to go.
They kiss goodbye and when he leaves YN heads into her office to begin working for the day, hoping the time goes by quickly until he returns.
~
Harry texts YN that he's on his way around 6 pm, and she practically squeals in excitement as she waits for him. When he arrives, they spend a while in the kitchen as he cooks her some salmon, potatoes, and asparagus, kisses stolen throughout the entire process. They eat while the food is still hot before moving into the living room to watch some TV, YN sat atop Harry's lap as they watch.
They end up watching a random movie for a bit, and said movie has a bit of a steamy scene in it. The characters on the screen before them start to get YN worked up, and neither of them really notice when she starts to squeeze her thighs together before trying to gain some friction by moving her hips onto his thigh. Not until her movements get more frantic and focused, whines of frustration leaving her when she realizes they're not in the best position for her stimulation.
So he decides to mess with her a bit, removing one of the hands that’d been wrapped around her and bringing it between her legs. He simply runs a finger over her thin shorts with the softest touch, feeling the way she’s getting wetter and starting to soak through them. Harry chuckles at her before he's using his other hand to pause the movie and speaking up.
“Do y’want to go upstairs? Gonna let me get you in bed?” he whispers, trying to keep himself composed as she starts to buck her hips up to meet his soft and teasing touch.
“Please,” she whines, turning her head in search for his lips, needing him as close as possible.
“Alright, sweet girl. Let’s get you upstairs. Have some new things for us to try,” he hums, easing them up before grabbing her hand and guiding her toward the bedroom. He helps her get her clothes off before telling her to hop on the bed while he grabs the new toys, but not before taking a moment to practically drool over how good she looks, just for him.
He’s rummaging through the bag for what he needs and she’s just looking over his shoulder curiously before something catches her eye.
“What’s this for?” she asks quietly, reaching into the bag and pulling out a small silver butt plug with a pretty pink stone on the end. She hears Harry chuckle next to her, gently grabbing her jaw to make her look at him.
“We won’t be needing that for a while, Bunny,” he responds, a soft smile on his face as he runs a thumb along her bottom lip. “That’s for when you’re more experienced and want to try new things,” he finishes, words careful and soft as to not hurt her feelings. She still pouts at his response, causing him to chuckle and brush a thumb over her lips to wipe it away.
“Why can’t we use it now? ‘s pretty,” she grumbles, examining the toy curiously.
“Because, I don’t want you t’get hurt. You don’t want that, do you?” he questions carefully, his eyebrows shooting up at the way she hesitates for a moment. The thought crosses his mind for a split second that his sweet girl wants him to hurt her before he’s shaking it off, deeming the idea as ridiculous.
“No,” she finally sighs. “Well what are we using today?”
He’s still a little lost from her moment of hesitation, but he clears his throat before he’s reaching for the bag and taking out the three things he needs for today; a vibrating wand, a small dildo, and some lube. He places the two toys in her hand for her to examine them, giving her room to back out if she’d like. When she doesn’t seem uncomfortable with them, he takes them from her to go clean them in her bathroom.
“Gonna go clean them, I’ll be right back,” he tells her, pressing his lips to hers for a moment, having to pull away with a chuckle when she tries to deepen it, whining into the kiss and squeezing her thighs together. She has the cutest pout on her face when he leaves.
Harry takes his time to thoroughly clean the toys, drying them off before he’s heading back into the room.
When he returns to the bedroom, he doesn’t expect to see YN lying down on the bed with a hand tucked between her thighs, rubbing away at her clit. Her eyes are closed and her free hand is over her mouth, as if she was trying to keep quiet so he didn’t know what she was doing. “Angel,” he chuckles, the name tearing a whine from her throat as she quickly pulls away and snaps her legs shut. “No, no. You can keep going,” he permits, placing the toys on the bed before sitting at the end, right where he can see all of her. It takes a bit of coaxing but she soon gets back into it, chasing her orgasm once more.
“Good girl, just like that,” he praises, watching as her fingers glide around her slick bud faster than before as she chases her peak. “Close already? Y’learning so fast, sweet girl,” he praises, a dimpled grin on his face as he watches her face contort. Her whines and whimpers have now turned into full blown moans as she brings herself closer and closer, but just as she’s about to fall over the edge it begins to fade away. The tight feeling deep inside of her belly starts to loosen, the heat going away.
“No, no, no,” she whimpers, her fingers unceasing on her slick bud as she tries to find the feeling again. Tears are now building on her waterline, her palms flying up to cover her eyes in frustration.
“Oh, poor thing,” Harry tuts, reaching up to thumb away the tears that have begun flowing down her face. “Jus’ leaking all over the place. Do y’really need me that bad?” his voice is teasing as he reaches between her legs and runs a finger through her sodden folds, a moan getting caught in her throat at the action.
“Please,” she’s begging him now, her hips chasing his hand as he pulls away. “No more teasing, please.”
“Why should I help you, sweet girl? You weren’t patient and didn’t wait for me to come back before you started making yourself feel good,” he tuts, acting as if he’s really upset with her.
“I’m sorry, I won’t do it again! It’s just…,” she trails off, her eyes anywhere but on him.
“Use your words, what is it?” he reminds her, placing a warm hand on her thigh.
“When you were cleaning the things I couldn’t help it anymore. Your arms and your back looked really good and you were super focused I couldn’t help it. I’m sorry,” she explains, and Harry feels even better than he did before, pretending to think about whether or not he’ll forgive her.
He sees the way she’s genuinely sorry for her actions, so he decides to stop messing with her. “Alright, I guess so. Let’s start with this one, hm?” he suggests, grabbing the wand and clicking it on. He plays around with the speeds for a few seconds before deciding on one and helping her get comfortable before using his body to keep her legs open and placing the toy on her clit. She gasps at the feeling, this toy being much more powerful than the bullet they’d used the night before. He keeps the toy there for a while, gauging her reactions.
She’s silent save for some moans and whines as she tries to get used to it, and he lets her get a feel for a few minutes before he’s checking in. “How are y’feeling? Talk to me,” he tells her, pressing down a bit harder with the toy to see if that changes anything. It definitely does, a loud cry falling from her lips followed by a small jerk of her legs.
“It’s so much, but it’s in a good way,” she explains, her voice shaky and high pitched as she tries to speak through the pleasure. “I feel it all the way in my tummy and it’s really wet down there too,” she finishes. Her words are even more breathless as her moans pick up, a telltale sign of her orgasm.
“Yeah? Do y’like your new toy? It’s making you feel really nice?” he coos, beginning to move the toy around the throbbing bud instead of staying stationary. The stimulation of all of the nerves sends her into a frenzy and her moans pick up before she’s trying to close her legs around the wand with a hoarse shout as her orgasm takes over.
“That’s it, darling. Cumming so well for me,” he praises, keeping the buzzing toy on her until she pushes him away from the overstimulation. Aftershocks wrack her body in small waves, her dripping hole just fluttering around nothing. “Was that good?” he teases as he watches her chest heave, a chuckle falling from his lips when she just whines and nods, thighs still pressed together tightly.
"Yes, it was really good," she breathes, trying to catch her breath again as well as the feeling in her lower half. "'m really shaky," she notes, a bit of concern lacing her words.
"I know, angel," he chuckles, beginning to massage the muscles in her legs so that they don't cramp up. "It's normal, don't worry. Are y'ready to call it a night?" he questions, fully ready to get her cleaned up and ready for bed, but she shakes her head. "No?"
"No. Want to try the other one before I sleep," she explains, sitting up on her elbows as a way to let him know she's well and ready to move forward. He's nodding at her confidence before grabbing the toy from its place on the bed as well as the lube he'd picked up.
“Do y’think you can pull your knees up and hold them there? Want it to feel really good for my best girl,” he grins, and she nods eagerly before doing as he asked, her already ruined cunt on full display for him. “Always such a good girl, don’t know what I did to deserve you,” he praises, watching as she turns her head away from him in embarrassment.
“Stop saying things like that,” she whines, but he doesn’t miss the way her cunt clenches around nothing at the praise.
“You have your legs spread for me to see all of this pretty pussy and you blush when I call you a good girl?” he chuckles. “You’re cute. But you’re even cuter when you do that little pout you do when you’re close,” he teases, causing her to playfully kick at him.
"Alright, I'll stop teasing," he promises before he's serious again. "Let me know if anything is too much or we need to stop. I won't be offended or anything, this is for you and only you," he tells her seriously, and she's agreeing with his words immediately.
Pouring some lube onto the toy, he rubs it in a bit before adding some onto her body as well for security, despite her not needing it. Then he's running the tip of it between her swollen folds, a small moan leaving YN's lips when it touches her sensitive clit. He repeats the action a few times to get her even wetter if possible, and then he's easing the toy inside her, keeping an eye out for her reactions.
She just quietly gasps as it breaches her hole, readjusting her grip on her legs as he slowly goes deeper and deeper. "How's that, baby?" he questions, hoping her slack jawed-ness is out of pleasure and not pain. "Talk to me, what are you feeling?"
YN struggles to find the words for a few seconds, but by the time she does the toy is now bottomed out inside of her, causing her to let out a loud guttural moan as she feels it pressed right up against her g-spot. "I'm so full," she explains, trying her best to keep her grip on her thighs when all she wants to do is rock her hips down against the toy that's inside of her. "'m so full but I want more, please move it."
And with that, Harry wastes no more time going slow, pulling it out until just the tip is inside of her before slamming it back in, all while gauging her reaction still. This unveils the loudest moan he's ever heard from her, and he sees one of her hands let go of her leg to aide him in pushing the toy in and out of her. So he picks up the pace, and when he feels like she can handle it, he brings his free hand up to begin quickly rubbing at her sensitive clit.
“Please, don’t stop. Feels so good,” she’s nearly screaming now, each word laced with a whiny undertone.
“Know you’re close, angel. You can let go for me. I’ve got you,” he coaxes, watching her eyes roll back into her head as both her stomach and pussy clench impossibly hard, not stopping the movement of his hand with the toy. A few moments later he sees and feels some clear liquid start to come out of her and onto his hand and even up his arm, making him nearly lose the grip on his toy.
But he doesn’t let go, he actually grips it even tighter before pushing it as deep as it will go, and that’s when YN stops breathing. He holds it there for a few seconds until she squeals and starts to tap at his hand, only then does he pull out. The moment the toy is completely out of her, the longest and most powerful stream by far squirts from her, a loud cry of ecstasy leaving her lips.
More of his arm is wet now, as well as some of his chest and her stomach from the intense stream that left her body. She is completely spent before him, her arms letting go of her shaking legs, causing them to lay out beside her, bent at the knees in a butterfly position. Harry notices that she’s practically passed out before him, and seeing her so absolutely spent from him just using toys on her, it completely ruins him and begins to ruin his boxers.
A painful whine leaves his lips as he finally frees himself from the confines of his boxers and begins to stroke himself. It takes all but four good strokes for him to let out a grunt of pleasure as he paints her messy cunt with his cum. His stomach is clenching and unclenching almost painfully as he empties his balls all over her pussy. Some spurts even land on her stomach and thighs, his strokes erratic.
When he’s finally done, he pulls his hand away from his now softened and aching cock with a wince, taking a moment to catch his breath before he’s climbing out of the bed and heading to the bathroom. Flipping the light on, he begins his search for the softest washcloth he can find, and when he does he runs it under the tap for a few moments. Once the warm water soaks the towel, wrings it out before making his way to his sleepy girl, still in the spot he left her in.
He’s very careful with cleaning her up, but still making sure none of their mess is left on her skin before he’s running to the kitchen to grab some water, gently waking her up. “Cmon, pretty girl. Up you get. Need to get some fluids in you,” he whispers, helping her sit up against the headboard.
She does so begrudgingly, a sleepy whine leaving her lips as he holds the cold water to it and helps her drink. Only able to finish about half, her head falls back against the headboard in exhaustion before she feels an arm grab beneath both of her legs and another on her back. Harry’s gently lifting her up so they can head to the guest room, not wanting her to sleep in the mess they’ve made of the bed.
YN is barely registering his actions, and her mind is still fuzzy as he tucks her in there with a sweet kiss on her forehead before slipping out to go clean up her bedroom. By the time he’s got everything all cleaned and returns to the guest room, YN is deep into her slumber, soft snores leaving her swollen lips. Turning the light off, Harry softly closes the door behind him before climbing into bed with her and taking her in his arms, falling asleep.

it’s literally been over a year i’m sorry

that is until she keeps coming back, this time with a totally different injury, and that’s when he makes it his life’s mission to find out the issue and get answers out of her.

Summary: You end up in hospital with suspected endometriosis and Harry is the doctor on hand to help you.
Pairing: Doctor!Harry x Reader
Word count: 2,988
A/N: this was a request from a follower who suffers with endometriosis, from researching this topic I've released what a horrible condition this is and I hope I've done it justice! Hope you enjoy. As always, feel free to send in any requests!
Tumblr media
Ever since you were 14 years old, you had suffered terribly with your periods. It would start with pain in your lower back, then the sickness would hit, then the intense cramping and your periods would be so heavy you had to change tampons every 30-60 minutes.
Despite multiple visit to the doctors, everyone assured you it was normal. You knew it wasn't normal, your friends never suffered as badly on their periods, they never had to cancel pains because of pain and they weren't sick because of stomach cramping.
It wasn't just when you were on your period you would have these symptoms. The back ache, the cramps were part of your daily life for most days of the month. Taking painkillers twice a day had become normal for you.
No doctor had ever taken you seriously, always claiming “it’s not uncommon for women to have cramps on their period” which enraged you more and more each time a doctor told you this.
You weren’t stupid, of course women suffered from cramps with their periods but your cramps were unlike anything you had read was normal. Your periods were more than just heavy, you would pass out on the first day you were on because of the amount of blood loss.
Despite previously advocating for yourself and asking for further tests as you'd always suspected it was endometriosis but your doctor refused as there 'wasn't enough evidence of the disease', funnily enough, your doctor was an old man in his 60's.
Tonight was one of those nights where you were having a severe flareup. You were doubled over in bed with pain, you had thrown up 3 times and your flow was the heaviest its been in a long time. You had already taken 4 ibuprofen over the course of 4 hours and it wasn't touching the pain.
You moved into the bathroom where you were you were sick another 2 times and you started to feel dizzy and lightheaded. This usually never ended well when you felt like this. You knew this wasn't good so you called your friend, Sophie to ask her to grab you some anti-sickness tablets from the shops and to come over to help you.
When she arrived, she only had to look at you to realise it was serious this time. "Y/N, we need to get you to the hospital"
"No Sophie I'll be fine I promise" you let out a scream in pain but you were not going to the hospital for another doctor to tell you it was "just period pains again".
"Y/N you can barely look at me or stand up without screaming in pain"
"Sophie please" you winced in pain as another shooting pain went up your abdomen. It felt like it was on fire.
"I'm really worried about you, if you won't go for you, go for me. I'll drive you. What if it's something serious?"
Another wave of nausea and intense pain made you give in and nod to her in agreement. She helped you get up and changed into leggings and a sports bra and into the car.
The sickness had stopped thankfully but the pain felt like it was intensifying with every minute that passed, so much so you were now in tears as Sophie drove to the hospital.
When you arrived, it was an agonising 2 hour wait in A&E until a nurse called your name. She asked questions about your symptoms and you explained you suspected you had endometriosis. She did some basic tests, gave you some more pain medication and left to get the doctor.
When the doctor came, he repeated the same questions, did an examination and ultrasound of your stomach and ordered you some stronger medication. "Your stomach feels completely normal, your blood pressure is high but that's most likely due to the pain and your temperature is raised slightly as is your heart rate. I'll give you some morphine through an IV which should help reduce the pain and some paracetamol for the high temperature. I've ruled out appendicitis, gallstones and a stomach ulcer so I'm going to ask the Consultant Gynaecologist to come and examine you further as it does sound like you're experiencing symptoms of endometriosis"
Finally someone who understood, but apparently it was a busy Thursday night in Gynaecology as it was 3 hours before anyone from that department came to see you.
"Hi, I'm Harry Styles I'm the consultant Gynaecologist this evening, Y/n isn't it?" a doctor in navy blue scrubs with tattoos down his right arm said to you, as he walked through the door with a clipboard.
The first thing you noticed about him was how attractive he was, and his hair. It was dark brown and was clipped back with a black claw clip, he had a slight moustache but you could tell it had recently been trimmed as it looked almost too neat but it made him even hotter. This was not the time or the place to be looking for your next boyfriend, the pain in your abdomen reminded you why you were here in the first place.
"oh hi, yeah I'm y/n. Nice to meet you Dr Styles"
He grabbed a seat and brought it next to you and sat down on it, well, more like straddled on it which made you feel some kind of way. "Please, call me Harry. Nice to meet you y/n, I hear you're not doing too well. What's been going on?"
You told him all your symptoms and how long they had been going on for, to which he wrote some things down. He looked concerned as you went through them, raising an eyebrow at the more worrying signs like the fainting spells and extreme heavy periods.
"Why haven't they sent you for further tests? "he asked once you had finished giving him your history. He looked concerned which gave you hope that he might actually be willing to help you.
"My doctor says it's normal, I've tried to push for more tests but he says all women get cramps on their period"
He rolled his eyes before realising you had seen him do it "Sorry that's unprofessional of me, it’s just frustrating when healthcare professional dismiss issues like this, but don't worry Y/N, we'll get to the bottom of it for you" he smiled reassuringly at you.
He seemed genuine, kind and empathetic, something while previous doctors haven't been to you.
"Do you mind if I do a quick exam? I know you're in pain right now so I'll be as gentle as I can" he asked and you nodded. He got up and sanitised his hands before asking you to lift up your top to reveal your stomach.
You felt a little anxious as he rubbed his hands together to spread the sanitiser on his hands "Sorry my hands might be cold" he smiled warmly to you which revealed his perfect white teeth that made you blush a little.
“I’m just going to lightly press on a few areas, let me know if anywhere is worse than others”
You winced in pain a few times as he was doing the exam, him apologising each time.
After the exam, he sat back down "I'd like to do a laparoscopy as soon as we can, it's small operation to look inside your tummy to determine what's going on. It's keyhole surgery so you wont have a a large scare. An ultrasound doesn't always pick up endometriosis as it can develop behind organs so in order for me to give you an accurate diagnosis, this would be the best way. Does that sound okay?"
"Y-yes, I guess so. Do you think it is?"
"It could be, it would explain your symptoms but as I say, I can't know for sure without having a look internally. Don't worry it won’t take long, maybe 30-45 minutes. I’ll have a good look and then depending on what I find, we can discuss the outcome once you come round. Does that sound okay?”
“Yeah that’s fine” you replied, you didn’t have much else to say, you were too overwhelmed with the whole situation.
"Good, I'll go and speak to the team and get you up to theatre within the hour. Someone will be in to talk you through everything. I know things are moving fast but I want to get to the bottom of this for you tonight" he put a hand on yours to reassure you and smiled.
He stood up to leave the room. “Do you have any questions for me?”
“What if I do have it? What happens then?” You asked.
“So as I mentioned we’ll do what’s called an exploratory laparoscopy first which is just to see what’s going on. This doesn’t involve the removal of cells or anything, however if we confirm it is endo you have, then we’ll make a plan on the best way to move forward. That might involve surgery, it might not. It just depends on what I find” he smiled at you reassuringly.
“Okay, thanks. That’s all I think” you told him.
“No problem y/n, I’ll let the team know to get you prepped and I’ll see you in a bit” Harry told you as he stepped out the room.
Sophie was holding your hand for support. You were so nervous. You had never been put under before and you weren’t sure what to expect.
“What if something happens Soph, like what if there’s a complication or something?” You turned to her, immediately panicking about going under general anaesthesia.
“you’ll be fine y/n, they’ll look after you really well and I’ll be here when you wake up. The doctor said it wouldn’t take long. It’ll just be like taking a nap” she said trying to convince you that everything would be alright. Which it would be, you trusted Dr Styles, you were just overthinking everything.
Over the next hour, various nurses came in to help you get prepped for surgery. With every passing moment, your heart rate was increasing with anxiety and before you knew it, it was time for the surgery. You said goodbye to Sophie and she wished you luck.
You were wheeled through to the theatre where you just about shit yourself with all the medical staff and equipment.
“Hey y/n, how you doing?” You heard the familiar doctors voice from before behind you.
You looked round to see Dr Styles now with a scrub cap and gown on, but still looking attractive.
“I-I’m okay” was all you managed to get out due to nerves.
“I know it’s scary being in here with everything going on but we’ll take good care of you, I promise” he smiled to you and you believed him. Just being in his presence made you feel safe.
You nodded your head and he smiled “Dr Styles you’re needed over here” a nurse called on him.
He looked back at you “I’ll let the nurses look after you now, I’ll see you when you’re awake okay? Trust me, you’ll be absolutely fine”
He smiled reassuringly to you and dashed off to wherever he needed to go and you were left feeling anxious again. The nurses helped get you ready for surgery and before you knew it, you were being put to sleep.
*A few hours later*
“Hey sweetie, you’re all done. How are you feeling?” A nurse asked you as you were coming round from the anaesthesia.
In all honesty you felt like you had been hit by a bus. You felt exhausted, nauseous and you were in pain again, which you were sure was from the surgery.
“Let me get you some water” she said, noticing your pale complexion.
You looked over and seen your friend Sophie sitting by your bedside holding your hand, she smiled at you. “You okay?” She asked and you nodded in response.
The nurse who had introduced herself as Annie handed you some water and you took a sip of it, mainly to satisfy her. You just wanted to sleep.
“Everything went well, are you in any pain and I can give you some more painkillers?”
You nodded and she gave you more medication through your IV to help.
You sat up in bed, with the help of Annie and Sophie and you felt a little better.
“D-do I have it?” You asked the nurse sheepishly.
“I’ll let the surgeon know you’re awake and he can come talk to you” was all she said with a smile before leaving the room.
You turned to Sophie “What do you think that means? Have they told you anything?”
“No they haven’t said anything to me, she probably just wants you to hear it from the doctor himself”
A few minutes later, you heard a knock on the door and seen Dr Styles popping his head in.
“Hey, can I come in?” He asked and you nodded.
“How are you feeling?” He asked closing the door for privacy behind him. He grabbed a chair and sat beside your bed with some paperwork in his hands.
“I’m okay, a little sore and tired” you told him.
“Have you had anything to help with the pain and nausea?” He asked, sounding concerned as he picked up your chart and started flicking through it.
“Yeah they’ve given me medication” his face softened into a small smile.
“Good, it should kick in soon. It’s good that you’re awake now, see I told you you would be okay!” he joked and you laughed slightly.
“I’ll get straight to it as I know you’ll be eager to hear how things went. So overall it went very smoothly, as I mentioned it was exploratory keyhole surgery just for us to have a look and see what’s going on.
When I first went in, everything looked absolutely normal which I thought might be the case because your ultra sound was clear. However, when I went a little deeper it was apparent that the cells that cause endometriosis were present behind your bladder” he paused to let you take the information in.
“The good news is, the cells have only regionalised in that one area so it's only affected the one area. It does mean you officially have a diagnoses of endometriosis and it now allows us to deal with it. How do you feel about that?” he asked.
“I’m- I can’t believe it” you stuttered, not quite believing that after all these years, someone had finally listened to you.
“I understand it’s overwhelming when you’ve been dealing with this for a number of years, it’s good news in a way because it means now you have some answers” Harry said to you.
“Yeah it is, I’m so pleased. Thank you so much for listening to me”
“It’s no trouble at all, I’m just doing my job, I’m happy to help” he smiled before continuing on.
“So the next step is to map out a sort of treatment plan, there is no direct cure for endometriosis as you may already know but there are things we can do that can relieve the symptoms. What I would highly recommend in your case is to have surgery in which we go in and remove the deposits of endometriosis. This would mean a few days recovery in hospital with continuous follow up appointments with myself for a few months but I’m almost certain that this would be the best chance for relieving your symptoms. Everyone is different but the surgery should stop your periods from being so heavy, help with the cramping and the general feeling of being unwell during your period. You don’t have to answer now, I’ve got some leaflets here on the surgery which you can read over and have a think about if it’s something you want to go ahead with or not”
“I want to do it. I’ve read online about the surgery and I want to have it” you said, not even having to think about it.
“I thought you might say that” he laughed “I legally need to explain the procedure, risks/benefits etc to you but after that if you’re happy to go ahead with it then so am I, I really think it’s your best chance”
“Yeah I want to go ahead” you confirmed.
“Okay, let me run through everything with you and then we can get a bit of a plan put together” Harry then spent the next 15 minutes explaining the ins and out and the procedure and making sure you understood the risks associated with it.
Once he was finished, he gave you some leaflets “have a read over these as well, mainly so that my arse doesn’t get kicked by management for not giving you them” he winked to you as he laid them on your bed.
“I’ll be back in to check on you in the morning and if everything looks good, you’ll be able to go home. If you need anything at all, press this button and the nurses will be able to help you. You look like you need a nap so I’m gonna go and leave you in peace. I’ll see you later”
You laughed at his comment “Thank you so much for your help, it truly means so much to me” you thanked him once again.
He smiled and winked at you before leaving the room. You blushed and felt butterflies in your stomach. Sophie winked at you once he was gone "only you would come into hospital and make a doctor wink at you" she joked and you laughed.
You couldn’t believe you had been diagnosed with endometriosis after years of advocating for yourself. It took just one understanding doctor like Harry to listen to you and help you get the diagnosis you needed and it helped that was really wasn't bad looking either.

The Mean Doctor | doctor!harry x nurse!yn
Only on Patreon! parts 1 and 2 posted
Summary: Harry is the surgeon in charge and you two don't always get along.
part 2 snippet:
“I’d say that was a job well done but I did most of the work so…”
You scoffed, your voice scratchy, “Oh please. All you had to do was stand there with your cock out and move your hips. You hardly did anything. Bet you’re not even capable of getting me off now that you’ve had yours. Typical douchebag acts like a hotshot but doesn’t get the job finished.”
Harry’s eyes narrowed as he clutched the tops of your arms to keep you from moving out of his hold, “Pull your scrubs down and get your ass on the table.”
You bit your lip as you did what he said. You didn't really think that saying that would have worked. Thought he wouldn’t care if you got off or not. But maybe you’d been wrong. Or maybe it was just that the doctor didn’t like to be challenged. Didn’t like to hear someone say he wasn’t good at doing something. 
You pulled out the paper sheet to cover the vinyl cushion (for sanitary purposes of course) and sat down on the bed. Harry tore your scrubs the rest of the way off your legs and pushed your legs apart as he thumbed over your crease, “I’m very good at many things, Y/n. And one is that I can get a female off if I want to. Don’t ever imply I can’t.”
You licked your lips, “I guess we’ll see if you can. I mean, I got you off and that was easy. Came so fast for me.” It was a taunt.
With his fingers spreading your labia he used his free hand to push you down to the bed so your back was flat, the paper crinkling as you shifted, “And you’ll be even easier. Just lie there and let me demonstrate.”

Warnings: none! this is only the beginning 😈😈😈
Words: 2.8K
Pairing: Harry x OC (Aubrey Williams)
Being a single father is hard. It’s even harder when you work more than sixty hours a week, and your three kids are all under the age of ten. It’s karma. It has to be. Harry only had to be a dad every other weekend because the children lived three hours away with their mother, but she recently passed so now the kids are living with him full time. He was able to take a sabbatical from work, thank God, but he’s due to return in a few weeks and he still hasn’t found a nanny for the kids.
He thought of just finding an after-school sitter, but he knows that when he goes back to work, he won’t have the time in the morning to make breakfast and lunches, and get the kids ready for school. His ex-wife was getting enough alimony and child support so she didn’t have to work. The kids didn’t need anyone extra.
It was difficult at first. Harry mourned the loss of his ex-wife, but he needed to stay strong for children. She was gone now, forever. They got divorced for a reason, but she was still the mother of his children. The ache he was feeling was normal. Luckily, the kids didn’t mind moving in with Harry. He enrolled them all in a private school, he figured they could use a little extra structure, and he also just wanted to give them the very best. He felt guilty for basically being an absentee father since the divorce.
Maddie is ten, she’s the oldest, Cole is eight, and Sean is six. Each child an even bigger surprise than the last, but a blessing nonetheless. That was the one thing Harry and his ex-wife agreed on the most. No matter how much they fought, they made sure to put the kids first.
But now Harry has to get back to work because he would like to continue to provide for his children without eating into his savings. He can’t exactly do his work from home now that they’re living with him, so he has to go to his office. Many of Harry’s patients have been seeing Niall while he’s been gone. Niall’s been a wonderful help to Harry. It’s not easy being a psychiatrist, nor is it easy to take on someone else’s patients for an extended period of time.
Harry’s been interviewing plenty of nannies, but he wants to make sure the kids feel comfortable with the hire, and none of them have clicked yet. Most days, the kids whine that they don’t want Harry to go back to work, which breaks his heart. But he didn’t spend four years in undergrad, four years in medical school, and another four years in a residency program to not be a practicing psychiatrist. He and Niall own their practice together, and have a few other colleagues that they’ve hired on. They do quite well.
After another failed interview, Harry’s not sure what he’s going to do. He contemplates maybe doing telehealth appointments, but he really doesn’t want to do that kind of work at home.
Later that night as he makes his way up to bed, he finds his three children fast asleep on his mattress. He pouts at how cute they are all snuggled up together. He gets in on his side after washing up, and Sean makes his way to cuddle up close to him. Harry sighs and puts his arm around his son. He needs to figure something out, and soon.
***
Burning the candle at both ends isn’t sustainable. But Aubrey isn’t sure what else she can do right now. She’s been living in a hotel for the last two weeks, and that isn’t exactly cheap. She barely even has time to enjoy the soft mattress with how much she’s been working. But when you catch your boyfriend cheating on you in your own home, you leave before he has a chance to give you some bullshit excuse.
“I told you, you can crash on my couch for as long as you need.” Sidney tells Aubrey over coffee on Sunday morning.
“No, I don’t want to put you out.”
“You know…my boss’ associate has been in the market for a live-in nanny.”
“That sounds like it could get messy. I feel like the wife always gets jealous.”
“He’s a widower.” Sidney whispers. “And on top of that, they were divorced, so it’s not like he’s sobbing over how much he loved her. He’s been at home for months taking care of his kids. They lived with the mom full time and only saw him every other weekend.”
“How many does he have?”
“Three, all of them are in elementary school. My boss has been taking on all his clients to help out, but I don’t know how much longer he’ll be able to keep helping. You’re so good with kids, Aubrey. You were always the most sought-after babysitter.”
“Babysitting and being a nanny are two different things. Especially if I’d be living there. What if the kids hate me?”
“Aubrey, who could ever hate you?” Sidney asks flatly. “Do you want me to ask my boss for more information? He thinks very highly of my opinion.”
“That’s because you suck his dick every other day.”
“Shh!” Sidney swats at her friend. “I told you that in confidence. No one knows, and no one needs to know.”
“Mhm.” Aubrey rolls her eyes. “I guess it couldn’t hurt to have more information. It would be a better job than working at a 24-hour diner.” She sighs.
“I’ll see what I can do. As good as the coffee and the free breakfast is here, you deserve better.”
“Thanks, Sid.”
***
A few nights later, Niall brings over Chinese food for Harry and the kids. Harry’s eternally grateful, and the kids are overjoyed about the food.
“So, Sidney, you know Sidney…” Niall starts as he and Harry clean up in the kitchen.
“She’s your assistant who gives the good head.” Harry smirks.
“Exactly.” Niall nods. “But don’t say that out loud again. Anyways, she has this friend Aubrey who needs a job. She caught her boyfriend cheating on her, and they worked together, so she had to quit her job, and it was this whole thing. She’s been living in a hotel, and it’s starting to add up. Sidney told me Aubrey’s great with kids.”
“Does she have any experience as a nanny?”
“Well, no, but-“
“Then how could I trust her with my kids?”
“Could you just give her an interview? She and Sidney are close, and Sidney’s been worried about her.”
“And you care because…?” Harry smirks.
“Don’t make me say it.” Niall groans. “Please, H?”
“Alright, I’ll give her an interview. But if the kids don’t like her, I’m not hiring her.”
“Deal.”
***
Aubrey’s mouth is agape as she pulls up to Harry’s home. It’s fucking huge. Sidney should have prepared her more. She takes a sip of water before getting out of her car. She makes her way up to the door and takes a deep breath. She rings the bell, and a moment later, an older woman opens it.
“Hello.” Aubrey smiles. “I’m here for an interview.”
“Hi.” The woman smiles. “I’m the kids’ grandmother. Harry had to go into the office today.”
“Oh.” Aubrey nods.
“He said it would be alright if I conducted the interview, please come in.” She steps aside and lets Aubrey in. “My name’s Millie.”
“I’m Aubrey, it’s nice to meet you.” Aubrey shakes her hand. “This is a gorgeous house.”
“Isn’t it? Harry bought it after the divorce. Believe it or not, when he was married, the house he had was even larger. His ex had extravagant taste.” Millie shakes her head. “God rest her soul.”
“I’m so sorry for your loss, that must have been really hard.”
“It was a total shock, but that’s life.” She sighs. “Anyways, Harry asked me to give you a tour of the home, and then you can meet the kids. They’ll be home from school soon.”
Aubrey nods, and politely follows Millie around the home. She wouldn’t have her own section of the home to herself, but she’d have her own room and bathroom, so that would be good. Millie explains that the job would include some light housework, mostly for the children. Laundry, afterschool snacks, breakfast, and lunches. Aubrey would also need to help with homework, baths, and bedtime. It wasn’t anything that scared Aubrey. It all seemed pretty standard.
Around 3PM, the kids get home from school. Millie tasked Aubrey with making a healthy snack for the kids while she greeted them at the door.
“Okay, kids, this is Miss Aubrey Williams.” Millie smiles.
Aubrey pouts at the three children. They’re way cuter than she was expecting.
“Hi, it’s nice to meet you all. What are your names?” Aubrey asks softly.
“I’m Maddie.” Maddie hops up onto the stool at the kitchen island, and grabs one of the slices of apple covered in peanut butter that Aubrey set up. “That’s Cole, and the one clinging to Mimi’s leg is Sean.”
“They call you Mimi? That’s adorable.”
“Grandma didn’t have the right ring to it.” Millie laughs and helps Cole and Sean up onto the other stools. “Maddie is ten, she’s in fourth grade, Cole is eight, he’s in second, and Sean is six, he’s in first.”
“Wow, you all are so close in age.” Aubrey smiles. “That’s nice. Do you like your school? I know it’s still new.”
“It’s okay.” Maddie shrugs. “Could I have some juice, please?”
Aubrey looks at Millie, and Millie nods, so Aubrey grabs three Capri Suns out of the fridge. Maddie automatically helps Cole and Sean with their pouches.
“Do you like the uniforms?” Aubrey asks.
“I like not having to think about what I’m going to wear when I get up.” Maddie answers.
“Oh, I bet. Do you still get to do what you want with your hair and stuff?”
“I think so.”
“What do you say after you finish your snacks, you all go change into something comfier? You all can watch a little TV to unwind until dinner.” Aubrey tells them.
“You’re not going to make us do our homework right away?” Cole asks, his eyes widening.
“You guys were just in school for, like, eight hours. Your brains need a break. We’ll eat dinner around five, then we’ll do homework, then we’ll wash up before bed. How does that sound?”
“Works for me.” Cole shrugs.
“What’s everyone’s bedtimes?”
“I’ll answer that.” Millie says. “Maddie is allowed to stay up until 9:30, while Cole and Sean go to bed at 8:30.”
“I like to read before bed.” Maddie says. “That’s why Dad lets me stay up later.”
“Yeah? What do you like to read?”
“Babysitter’s Club.”
“Oh, I love that series!” Aubrey beams.
“Kids, go on and change, yeah?” Millie tells them. “And I don’t want to hear anyone fighting over the remote, understand?”
“Yes, Mimi.” The three say in unison before hopping down from their stools.
“They’re so cute.” Aubrey says to Millie.
“Aren’t they?” Millie gushes.
“How have they been doing after losing their mother?”
“As good as they can.” Millie sighs. “Luckily, since Harry’s a psychiatrist, he knows a thing or two about helping children deal with their grief.”
“May I ask…how did she die?”
“It was abrupt. One second, she was fine, and the next she wasn’t. Maddie really stepped up apparently. She’s taken on a lot. I think she’s resentful towards her mother. The boys look up to her, which is good. Honestly, I think it’s been the toughest on Sean. He was a clingy baby, didn’t like to be put down at all. It’s carried over a bit. He’s so sweet, the poor thing. When the kids first moved in with Harry, they slept with him every night. They’ve gotten better, but they still have their nights.”
“Rightfully so. I couldn’t imagine losing one of my parents at such a young age, and then having to move and start all over somewhere new.” Aubrey sighs. “What would get them really excited for dinner?”
“I went shopping earlier this morning, I was planning to make a baked ziti. Would you like to help me make it?”
“Yeah.” Aubrey nods.
The ladies get to work on dinner while the kids watch television. When dinner’s ready, they all sit at the table together and eat. Aubrey asks the kids more questions to get to know them better, and they ask her questions too. Maddie does most of the talking.
Aubrey helps the kids with their homework after dinner while Millie cleans up. She observes her grandchildren as they work with their potential new nanny.
“I was hoping Harry would be home by now, I’m sorry.” Millie says to Aubrey before she leaves.
“It’s okay.”
“I think things went well. I’ll get the debrief from the kids in a bit.”
“Thank you for having me over with them today. I had fun.”
“We’ll let you know one way or the other soon.” Millie smiles, and opens the front door for Aubrey.
Harry doesn’t get home until around nine. He apologizes profusely to his mother, but he explains that he needed to get some writing done and catch up on emails. Maddie stayed up in the living room with her book so she could talk to her father. She comes shuffling into the kitchen where Harry and Millie are talking things over.
“There’s my sweet girl.” Harry smiles and lifts Maddie up to sit on the kitchen island. “You look exhausted.”
“I had gym today.” She shrugs.
“How come you’re not up in bed? I thought you liked to get cozy with your book.”
“I do, but I was waiting up for you.”
“Oh?”
“Hire her.” Maddie says. Harry and Millie look at each other, then back at her. “Cole, Sean, and I talked it over. We like her. Hire her.”
“Just like that?” Harry chuckles.
“Dad, she treated us like people. She asked us questions about things other than what our favorite subjects in school are. She let us watch TV after snack, she helped us with our homework, and she even got Sean to sleep without having to cradle him like a baby.”
“You all felt comfortable with her? Remember, she’d be living with us.”
“Hire her.” Maddie hops down from the counter. “We haven’t liked anyone else, and we won’t like anyone else you bring in. We want Aubrey.”
“Mimi?” Harry looks at his mother.
“I liked her a lot. I looked over her resume, same as you, and I think she’s more than qualified. She was sweet with the kids. And as much as I’ve loved being here, I’m itching to get back to Florida. So, I agree with Maddie. Hire her.”

Can you please do #31, #49 and #22 with doctor!harry?
𓄹𓈒 22 - sleepy cuddles + 31 - taking care of lover while they’re sick + 49 - playing with lover’s hair
“I can’t believe you got sick.” Y/N murmured as she ran her fingers through Harry’s soft hair, “You’re a doctor. Not getting sick is practically your thing.” She continued on and Harry laughed a little, snuggling into her further.
“I know.” Harry mumbled and Y/N hummed, twirling a couple hairs around her finger. She then pressed her hand to his forehead to check if it was any less hot than before, which it wasn’t, and Y/N frowned a little as she continued stroking his hair. He had been in bed all day and thankfully she was there to take care of him.
“Are you feeling any better at least?” She asked softly and Harry shook his head.
“Do you need anything?” She asked and Harry shook his head once more, putting his arm around her.
“Just stay here with me. And play with my hair.” He said softly and Y/N chuckled, leaning down to press a kiss to the top of his head. She ran her hand through his soft curls, her nails scratching his scalp lightly which made him relax.
“I’ll be here, okay?”
“Mhm.”

Odette (AU)
Synopsis: One where Harry has a massive crush on a Royalty.
More of my work | Part 2
Tumblr media
When Harry chose to become a vet, cats were the main reason why.
The man loves cats with his whole heart. He's always had cats growing up, even he have two cats at home and so does his mother and sister. He even chose to specialise in feline behaviour and health. He moved all the way to Eroda to pursue his further education and settle there.
Just when he got off from the Intensive care unit and about to head to have his break. Someone came rushing through the doors of ER.
With a ginormous cat. A white Maincoon cat to be exact who looked to be in a pretty bad condition already.
"Dr. Styles," Mariam called Harry as she was followed by the owner of the cat.
"Yeah, take him to check up table." Harry rushed. "Can I know what happened to your cat?" He already got to checking the cat's ribs and bones.
"Her, her name is Odette and she, she accidentally ate Lilies from the back garden today. It wasn't that long ago but about three hours, and, and she have puked about two time by now." The owner sounded frantic and stuttered through her explaination.
That pissed Harry off. It was one his pet peeves that pet owners still keep the toxic plants at their home. Even after being well aware that they have a living creature living with them. He just opted to sigh and continued to look at Odette. Her eyes were closed as she tried to breath as much as she could. He asked one of the nurses to get the oxygen ready for her.
"Is she going to be okay?" He heard yet another frantic question. This time it was much more lower toned and shaky, that's when he dared to look up at the girl and he almost fell down to the ground.
It was none other than Princess of Eroda, YN herself.
She had tears running down her cheeks which she wiped off everytime with her sweater paw which was of her plain grey oversized hoodie. Her hair left messy and free like she ran all the way to the hospital from palace herself.
And she did, he just couldn't believe it.
"Your highness," he bowed in courtesy. "We'll help her feel better soon."
YN just nodded and let him do his thing.
YN ran all for ten minutes from Palace to the ER just because the palace doctors were taking too long to get there. Odette was getting worse and worse with her breathing.
Harry spent rest of his break looking after Odette, she was already doing a little well as medications started working soon on her. Though he thought it would be better if she stayed the night at the hospital so they can keep an eye on her.
"Is, is she okay?" Princess YN approached him as he got out of the room where Odette was.
"She is going a little better," be explained, "but we'll have to keep her here for the night just so we're sure she is okay."
"Mhmm, okay," she nodded. "Can I please see her?"
"Sure," he guided the way to Odette.
The royals of Eroda are known be Cat lovers. They have at least ten cats of their own. Especially the King and Queen.
Harry was just nervous because one, he had to take care of a royal patient. And two, he had the biggest crush on Princess YN since have known about her. She is the oldest child of the family and direct heir to the crown of Eroda. Very smart and genius, currently holding two masters in business and studying for her PhD. Harry is more swooned by her everytime.
Also, she was the more humble one from the royal family after the King himself.
It was all behind the scenes that no one knew how much Princess YN struggled with Anxiety and fear public speaking and it was going to be her job after her dad decides to pass on his royal title.
Odette has been with YN since she was 16. They are really best friends and they travel together. Odette has also been a ESA for YN.
Mental health was something which was talked about more freely in Eroda than any other place on the planet. But YN chose to keep her struggles to herself. It did not felt safe for her to share such a vulnerable part of her life. Having anxiety attacks is not something she wants to be a part of entertainment for the public all around the world.
It broke her heart to see Odette like that, just if she could have been a little more careful today walking around the back garden. She wouldn't have to be here at all.
"Hey," she whispered to her cat who is like her actually child, "it's okay, you're doing so well." Harry's heart warmed up when the cat blinked her eyes slowly as if to tell her mum that she's okay, "you'll just have stay here for the night, I'll come and get you this morning yeah?" She placed a kiss on her head.
"Thank you for taking care of her." YN turned to Harry.
He hitched seeing her stand so close to him. God his legs are super close to turning into jelly!
"That's my job your highness." He smiled, trying hard not to freak out and fangirl. "If you don't mind me asking, aren't available for the palace?" He asked.
"They are, but, uhhhh, the got a little late to get to palace." She explained, "so I brought her here. I'm pretty sure you'll look after her the best way."
"That we will," he nodded. "We'll call you up tomorrow morning to fill you in on her progress. You can relax now."
"Uhh... Yeah," YN nodded, "I, ummm, she, she is my ESA and I, I am pretty attached to her so if, if I could stay here for sometime... Would, would that be okay?" YN stuttered through her request.
"Sure but I'm afraid I can't let you be in here as it may affect other animals too," Harry explained.
"Oh sure, I'll, I'll be in the waiting room." YN rushed.
"I'll show you the way, your highness." Harry gestured her to walk first.
"Please, please— uhhh, you don't have to be courteous. Please?" She told him earning a soft smile from him.
"If you don't mind me asking, none of us know you struggle with mental health issues, is there anything we need to be worried about? It's for Odette we'll need to make sure she hasn't gotten into something or ate something more harmful which might affect her health." Harry briefly explain.
That made YN abruptly stop in her tracks and Harry almost bumped into her. Harry knew he fucked up real bad. What if she took is as if he meant to say she can't take care of Odette when that's not true at all.
"I, I am sorry. I, I didn't mean to come out like that." He was quick to apologise.
"No, she's always with me. I had to work so I couldn't take her with me. And, and she likes to wonder around in the back garden. And those gosh darn lilies." Even her frustration seemed graceful to Harry.
God he's deep in! Urgh!
"It happens, you can wait here and please feel to let us know what we can do for you." Harry showed her the waiting room.
"Thank you," YN smiled. Harry nodded and went over to the coffee machine to get him and Princess YN some coffee. Whilst he was busy dispensing coffee into two separate use and throw cups he noticed from the corner his eye her bodyguard, Daren.
Now Harry knows alot of about Darren, he's watched all of YN interviews and even has magazines she is on. He's a true fan boy of her. Darren has been there for YN more than her father, The King himself was, she always praised her bodyguard in her interviews and public appearances. When she couldn't, she found her way to do so.
Darren was asking YN to ho back to the Palace but she was stubborn and wanted for Odette. So he waited for her by the door of waiting room to keep an eye on her safety.
"Your highness," Harry said offering her the cup of Coffee. She looked at him flustered.
"Oh, thank you." YN took the offered cup of warm goodness.
Harry was a little intimidated by Darren, he's a buffed guy doesn't matter if he's in his mid 50s. He's taller than him and stood right at the door.
"Don't worry he won't hurt you," YN chirped.
"Oh no, I, I forgot something." He acted to look for his phone. Which was right there, peeking out of his scrubs pocket. YN didn't bother to point out what he was looking for instead opted to sip on her coffee.
Typical royal behaviour, Harry thought.
But he noticed her look at his phone and tey and hold her smile back. He felt blood rush up to fave and warm his skin as he noticed.
"I take care of Odette myself," YN spoke catching Harry of guard but he stood on his place to listen to whatever she have to say, "she goes with me everywhere you know, we travel together. I just couldn't really take her with me to meeting with parliament. I, I just hate myself for leaving her alone."
"Hey come on, it's not your fault." Harry cooed, "it's alright, you're a human too. We make mistakes. I promise you she's fine and well. You can take her home by evening, yeah?" It broke his heart to see her eyes brimmed with tears.
He's just used to see her happy and sunshine smile everywhere. She looked very vulnerable which was enough to tell Harry that Odette, her cat means so much to her. Plus it was a public knowledge that the King wasn't doing well and he wants to pass down the crown to his eldest daughter. There is a lot of pressure on her already. She's only 20, she doesn't need that much of a pressure. Pressure to run entire country with his growing economy.
"Thank you, Dr. Styles." YN nodded sniffling to hold her tears back.
......................................................................
Luckily Odette was doing all fine within two hours of her being at the hospital. She was back to her bubbly and cuddly self. Giving Harry all her snuggles as he checked her one last time.
"You are very pretty!" He said to the cat scratching behind her ears which made her pur loudly, "oh you like scritches, don't you darling." He gave her a few kisses before he took her back out to her owner.
"Hello baby," YN cooed seeing her kitty who like a dog immediately went upto her for more scritches and snuggles. "Thank you so much Dr. Harry for taking care of her.
"It was my pleasure your highness," he smiled.
Odette was the biggest house cat, Main coon, she couldn't fit into a cat carrier so YN had to put up a leash on her. Harry was surprised to see how patient the feline was.
"Please call me YN, I don't mind." She correct him, a sheepish smile on her gorgeously pretty face made his heart flutter as he shook hands with her.
"YN," he repeated.
She smiled at him one last time before she had to leave.
Letting out a sigh, Harry went back to work again. He heard a gossip going around among his colleagues as he worked his way checking on the Intensive Care patients. There was a little bird he was checking on now when Mariam came upto him with the gossip.
"Dude, she donated our hospital a a fucking five hundred thousand dollars!" She whispered yelled.
"What the— what?" Harry was taken back.
"Yeah!" Marian shook her head, "plus she paid for all the bills for her kitty, the head will be coming to see you soon. Sit your ass down in your office." She shoved him out.
"Why?" Harry asked.
"Just do what I say!"
"Okay, I hope he doesn't fire me!" Harry was being shoved out of the ICU. He made his way to his office and like Marian said the head headed to his office too.
He was nervous as they sat down to have this important conversation.
"Harry, I know you love to work here and you've been here since day one of your residency. You've the heart of this hospital." Dr. Sean started his speech, "I'm so happy to see one of my own student succeed in their life. And I couldn't be happier to break this news to you myself that you've been offered to be Royal vet."
"Thank you so much Dr. Sean but, I can't really leave this hospital. I love working here." Harry felt guilty to turn down this huge of an offer. It was also a huge thing to add to his resume. But he loves working here so much he can't think of working anywhere else.
"You don't have to stop working here," Sean continued, "this is just another thing you do. Princess YN herself have made a request to get this offer to you from her. You'll be granted leaves whenever you have to go visit the Palace and do routine check up of the cats there every month."
"Every month!?" Harry was shocked.
"Yes, apparently royals are way too cautious about their cats and their diets are strictly maintained." Sean explained, "it is a huge offer Harry, think about it. It will be an extra source of income to you."
"I, I will think about it." He stuttered.
YN herself made this offer to him!
God he's going to die from how much his heart palpitating.
He's gonna have to take up this offer. He doesn't want to miss hanging out with YN even if that means for bare couple of minutes and meet Odette of course!
Yeah, he'd definitely take up the offer for Odette and Odette only!

Do you still have the other parts of ruin?! My favorite ever!!!
yes the only reason i do is bc i was in the process of transferring it to wattpad LOL i’ll post the others a bit more spread out
Ruin(2)*
warnings: corruption, fingering, squirting
part one
~
"Hello, YN, thank you for coming in again on such short notice. I believe I told you at our visit last week that there were some more things I needed to look into, correct?" he asks, snapping his gloves on in the same manner he'd done just five days ago.
"Yes, Harry. I'm honestly very nervous, but not as nervous as I was last time. Your methods of relaxation really helped me!" the sweet girl says excitedly, her heart hammering in her chest at the dazzling smile he gives her in return.
"That's great! Before we start, have there been any changes with your vagina since we last spoke?" he asks, picking up her chart. His eyes instantly shoot up to her when he hears a deep sigh.
"Yes, actually" she says, starting to fiddle with her fingers. He can hear the hesitation in her voice, instantly wanting to comfort the poor girl.
Placing the chart back onto the counter, he pats her knee gently. "It's okay, you can tell me. What's going on, honey?" he says sweetly, hoping nothing too serious is happening with her.
"Um, sometimes, when I'm just going about my day or when I think about our visit last week, for some reason I get....." she trails off, nervous to say any more.
"Hey, look at me. You have to tell me whatever is wrong so I can make it better, okay?" he coos, hoping she'll open up to him now. She nods and speaks once more.
"It gets kind of wet and tingly, like it did when you were helping me relax" she winces, fear shooting through her when his jaw drops. "Is that bad?" she panics, her heart rate speeding up.
Harry is quick to catch himself, closing his mouth and swallowing quickly. "No, no. Of course not" he rushes, going to sit down once more. "There's nothing wrong with that, completely normal, Love" he says, and she sighs in relief.
"Oh, thank goodness. Could I tell you something else, though?" she asks timidly, and he's quick to agree. "Whenever it happens, I end up rubbing the little button down there and I get that feeling deep in my tummy again, like when you did it, but afterwards I get extra wet so I have to go clean up or take a shower" she says, and Harry can feel his cock get impossibly harder at her words, trying not to moan out loud.
Clearing his throat, he asks her another question. "Do you feel better down there when you do it? When you rub your button?" he asks, his mouth practically watering as he awaits her answer.
"Yes, but it's not as good as when you did it for me" she says nonchalantly, and Harry is so close to pounding her right then and there until she passes out. Shaking his head, he rids himself of the lewd thoughts once more, adjusting his pants before sliding over to her in the chair.
"I'm sure you know the drill by now, love. Legs spread and in the stirrups, and I'll just take a quick peek. Is that okay?" he says, placing his hands on her knees. She nods and he hums, getting some lube and rubbing it on two fingers before lifting the towel to get a better view.
When he looks, though, he isn't expecting to see a bit of clear arousal all over her lower lips and dripping down to her asshole, a moan bubbling deep in his chest.
"Honey, why didn't you tell me you were wet down here when we were talking?" he asks, and she looks down abashedly.
"I was a little nervous, and to be honest, I wanted you to take care of it for me, if it's not too much to ask" she whispers, and Harry is floored.
"Of course, Love. I can do that for you" he says, and she starts to sigh in relief but it gets caught in her throat as he starts to rub on her clit with his lubricated fingers.
"Does that feel nice, Love?" he asks, adding a bit more pressure to the throbbing nub. He looks up to see her eyes squeezed shut, loving the sounds of her helpless whines leaving her parted lips.
"Okay, I'm gonna do something that'll feel even better" he says, before taking his middle finger and sliding it into her small hole before she has any time to object.
Her breath hitches and she's letting out a deep groan at the unfamiliar feeling. "Wow, that's different" she says, and he hums, sliding it out before pushing in just as deep as the first time.
"I know, honey. It'll get better soon" he says, stopping for a split second to sink his ring finger into the right hole as well. She's gasping in shock and then pleasure as he curls them up to her g-spot, petting gently.
"Yeah, I bet that feels nice" he says, speeding up slightly. "That's called your g-spot, honey. It's just like your button, but on the inside" he coos, going a bit harder. "The more you touch it, the more you get that burning deep in your tummy" he says.
"How will I reach it on my own?" she moans out, gripping the sides of the table. She opens her eyes and looks down when she hears a chuckle, seeing a dark look in Harry's eyes.
"Oh, baby. You're not ready for that" he coos.
"Just let me take care of it for now, and when you get home, just stick to playing with the little button between your legs, okay?" he says condescendingly. She nods obediently, her orgasm quickly approaching due to her inexperience.
"Harry, I feel it again, but it feels different" she moans, her hands tearing the parchment beneath her. Harry knows exactly what's going on, he's able to feel her g-spot swell beneath his fingertips until it's hard.
"That's okay, honey. When you feel like it's ready to explode, just let go. Don't hold back, okay?" he asks, and she nods before screaming out.
"I feel it! It's coming now!" she wails, her hole clenching down on him before she's going completely silent and her body is locking up as she squirts onto his fingers, liquid going down his arms and some getting onto his collared shirt beneath his lab coat.
"That's it, just like that honey" he coos the entire time she's coming, only stopping when she flinches from overstimulation. As she's twitching and trying to catch her breath, she doesn't see the smirk on Harry's face, or the fact that his gloved hand is in his mouth, sucking her arousal from his fingers.

Hi guru! I just subscribed to your patreon after learning that it’s only $5 a month! I can definitely fit that into my budget and I’m so happy I can support your work this way. I’ve been reading your fics for years by now and your writing has somehow only gotten even better over time and I love exploring your fics. I’d seriously buy a book of yours if you ever wrote one, even if it wasn’t Harry.
Anyway, I’m not sure if there’s a way to message requests on patreon or if we are supposed to do it here, so I figured I’d try here first. I was wondering if I could request a doctor!harry x nurse!reader. Maybe Harry is a pediatric doctor and super kind and good with kids and charming and flirty with his female co workers and known to be a bit of a player. Maybe yn is a normal and sweet girl and she agrees to let Harry take her home after some flirting at work and they bang despite her co workers warning her of his reputation, but he actually falls head over heels for yn or something. I’d be down for any storyline really but just would love to see this trope as I’m a nurse and rarely ever come across medical fics lol 😂😂 I know you’re busy with lots of amazing fics (I must add that im obsessed with bfd!harry and so excited to see what’s next) so don’t feel pressured!! Just wanted to share an idea of mine🩷 happy late thanksgiving, safe travels and I hope you enjoyed your time with your family! Xoxo
Ahhhh!! First thank you for subscribing 🥰 I’m so so thankful to you for supporting me 💕
And secondly sending me a dm on patreon works fine or send me here on tumblr if it’s easier. Either is fine!
And last!!! I LOVE this idea and I’m going to start working on something for you! A pediatric dr. Styles x nurse yn ? I would love to make that happen! Thank you so much for my first patreon request!🥰🥰
Thank you so much 💕
Xoxo

Wonderful World - Part 19
Tumblr media
Yay! Her's the next part! Hope you guys like it:)
Series Masterlist
Warnings: None for this part
WC: 11.8k
“Good morning!” Celeste made her presence known verbally before she made it into the kitchen. She was smiling quite brightly and it struck Diana as a bit odd that she was in such an excellent mood at this time of day. 
Celeste by no means was a morning person, so something was going on. And good thing she came in when she did, otherwise she would’ve caught the big flirtatious storm that was brewing between her and Harry just moments before. Her cheeks were still warm with blush at how he just swirled her around in a fun little dance to this gem of a song.
“Hey! How you doing, you little partly animal?” Harry asked with a grin and Celeste groaned as she hoisted herself up on the stools they had nestled under the island. “I’m just teasing. How many pancakes do you want?” He asked her.
“Three.”
“Coming right up.” He smiled.
“Can you help me set the table?” Diana asked and Celeste nodded and immediately went to grab some placemats to put down on the dining table. She then grabbed some forks and knives for everyone while Diana put the plates down for them. Moments later Harry was taking over a bigger plate with the stack of pancakes on it and Celeste found her place and he offered her a smile before turning back to the kitchen.
“Where’s the syrup?” He asked Diana.
“In that cabinet beside the stove. Somewhere towards the back.” She said and he hurried over to grab it. She grabbed the butter and creme for her coffee from the fridge before setting those down. Harry was coming back with two bottles of syrup. One plain maple and the other was a blueberry maple one. He then saw the coffee mugs and was about to reach for one, “I’ve got your coffee.” Diana smiled and he thanked her softly before making his way over to the table and setting the syrups down before taking a seat and he smiled to Celeste.
“Well, dig in.” He said and she was quick to  go for the pancakes. Moments later, Diana was joining them and waiting for Harry to grab his own pancakes before she grabbed the last two on the plate. 
“Oh…these are way better than yours.” Celeste moaned and Diana scoffed, “Sorry mom.” Celeste said through a full mouth and a smile.
“Pancakes are my specialty so I’ve got an advantage.” He said to her and she shook her head before digging in to her own stack. After she had her first bite she glanced to him.
“OK, yeah these are phenomenal.” She admitted and he smiled with pride.
“Thank you.” He hummed happily.
“So Harry, technically you’re British, but you live here now so do you Celebrate Thanksgiving?” Celeste asked.
“Yeah. Usually I go over to Henry’s family’s thing.” He explained in between his chewing.
“W-well what if…what if you came over to our dinner this time?” She asked and then glanced over to Diana. Who just glanced up at her with some concern.
“Ummm, I…it’s not that I wouldn’t love to join you, but considering the discussion we had about our roles-”
“So about that…” She interrupted and he nodded, “After last night I decided that I’d rather have you around more for everything than to just talk with you when things aren’t going so great.” She said casually and Diana and Harry glanced to each other quickly at how easily Celeste had said this.
“Are you sure that’s what you want?” Diana asked and Celeste glanced up to her with a smile and nodded.
“Yeah, I’m sure. I mean, just last night, you were so good at talking mom down-”
“Excuse me?” Diana questioned through a sarcastic laugh and Harry chuckled.
“Like obviously that was good because you seemed less worried. I mean, definitely don’t take consequence suggestions from him…” Celeste giggled and he smiled at her, “But…I don’t know, I think it just means a lot more to me. Not that I haven’t loved therapy with you, but now that we’re in the clear a bit I just…I wish you’d be here for more stuff. It means more to me to have you around. I-if that’s OK with you, mom?” She asked now turning to Diana who just offered her a small smile and then she turned to Harry and shrugged.
“Well what do you think, Harry?” Diana asked and he smiled.
“I’d love that.” He assured Celeste and she was beaming from ear to ear, “And ummm, I hear you’re the star of the winter musical so the timing is perfect.” He said and she giggled and nodded excitedly.
“Yeah, I got Dorothy.” She said with glee and he smiled with pride.
“Good for you.”
“So, Thanksgiving dinner, with uncle Damian and Harry!” She said with excitement.
“I’ll let Henry know he’s off the hook this year.”
“And every year after that.” Celeste said and Harry chuckled as Diana smiled and just continued eating quietly.
“Mom always makes the turkey and the green bean casserole because they’re my favorite. My uncle does the mashed potatoes but he does something special to them…”
“He just adds cheese.” Diana said and Celeste turned to Harry.
“They’re literally the best. Thing. Ever.” She exaggerated, “So what will you bring?” She asked him and he bit his lip.
“Ummmm? Dessert?” He asked as he glanced between her and Diana. “I make a pretty perfect apple pie.” He said with a smile and Celeste gasped.
“Oh my god, yes! You baked such a good cupcake, I’m sure a pie would be bomb!” She said excitedly, “Can I help you?” She asked with puppy dog eyes, “I want to learn to bake so badly!” She said and Harry chuckled.
“Yeah, of course. Would love a helper.” He said to her, “Is that alright, Diana?” He asked and she looked over at him.
“Ummm, yeah sure.” She agreed with a smile, “We can plan out the logistics once your uncle gets in town.”
“Is he staying longer this time?”
“Yeah. He’ll be in the country until the new year. But he still has stuff for work, so he won’t be staying with us the whole time, he’ll still be traveling around.” Diana said with a pleased smile.
“Oh good.” Celeste grinned excitedly. 
They chatted a bit more casually as they finished eating and Celeste and Diana cleaned up as Harry went to get showered quickly and dressed back in his clothes. 
“Alright, good to go!” Harry announced as he stepped back into the kitchen to see Celeste struggling to get the syrups back into the back of cabinet they were in while Diana dried the dishes. “Here. I’ve got it, petal.” Harry hummed as he came over to help Celeste.
“Thanks.” She hummed in gratitude as she moved aside. He got them back in position with ease before shutting it.
“Do you want to come with us to get his things at Gracie’s?”
“Sure!”
“OK, then get dressed.” Diana insisted.
“You too, you’re still in your robe.”
“Oh right…” she chuckled and then Celeste hurried upstairs. 
“I can finish up here so you can get changed.” Harry offered.
“It’s alright. Just have one more plate.” She smiled up at him and he came over anyway and grabbed the dry stack. 
“If I recall correctly these go…” he hummed as he stood before one of the cabinets and opened up the middle-left door and then grinned, “Ah, got it!” He said happily before placing the two dry plates in there atop the corresponding stack.
“Here’s another for ya’.” Diana said from behind him.
“Thank you.” He hummed and she smiled and gently rubbed his back for a few moments until he closed the cabinet.
“Oh, sorry.” She said and he smiled.
“S’alright.” He assured her.
“I guess I just wanted to say thank you for…helping me talk through my anger with Celeste yesterday, and for breakfast this morning, and helping with the dishes…”
“Any time.” He assured her. “Thank you for letting me stay over. And for continuing to be so…gracious with me after all of my…shenanigans.” He chuckled and she did as well.
“I think you’ve been plenty patient with me before as well. Also, you’ve taken care of my child in so many ways so…it’s the least I can do.” She said with a small smile which then faded as she looked deep in his eyes. “Really though, thank you so much, Harry.” She said and she blinked rapidly to try and ward off her tears.
“Hey…” He smiled softly as he reached to wipe one stray tear away.
“I’m alright.” She insisted, “I’m just so happy that I…found you and decided to call for the consultation. I’m glad that Celeste got to work with you. Thank you so much for…for helping her through everything she went through last school year. Thank you for teaching her how to grow in ways I never could have.” she said and his eyes softened, “Thank you for caring for her the way you do. For being there for her. It means a lot to me that she has someone else that she can trust and reach out to for help and support. Thank you for…for loving her.” She sniffled, “She’s my entire heart. My whole life and it means everything to me that you understand that and treat her as such.” She sniffled, “I guess what I’m trying to say is that…you’re exactly what we needed.” She said and he smiled as his heart leapt hard in his chest at what she was saying.
“This has been just as rewarding for me as it has been for the two of you.” He smiled, “I ummm…I’ve never felt more whole as a person until you two came along. Best thing that ever happened to me.” He said with conviction and she smiled before biting her lip with a fluttering heart.
“I-I love you. So much.” She whispered and he just pulled her close and hugged her tight.
“Love you too.” He hummed back happily as he squeezed her just a bit harder. Almost as if doing so would imprint the feeling of her body against his. “You should go get changed.”
“I will in a sec.” she assured and he smiled as he felt her just relax in his hold for a moment before she headed upstairs to change.
Obviously, Celeste got down there before Diana and Harry was just hanging out in the living room. He had seen the keyboard Diana had put in there and was sitting at it, playing a little melody.
“You play?” Celeste asked and he turned slightly.
“Yeah, a bit. Are you learning?”
“Not really, just mess around a bit. My mom plays well enough though.” She shared.
“Oh.” He smiled.
“Yeah, she got it to help me practice for my musical auditions.”
“Well, that certainly paid off.” he said and she nodded with a smile. “I have a little studio set up at my house, my own music room.” He said and her eyes lit up.
“Really?”
“Yeah!” 
“Do you think I can see it when we drop you off?”
“Yeah sure. If your mom says it’s OK.” He smiled and she did as well. 
Harry started teaching her how to play the melody for “Heart and Soul” when Diana came back down. She just watched quietly for a bit as Celeste laughed loudly at whatever Harry was saying to her as he tried to teach her the famous little tune. Diana watched on for a few more moments before she made her presence known.
“Hey guys, ready to go?” She asked and they both turned to her with smiles.
“Yeah, good to go.” Harry smiled and with that they were off. Grace was still passed out nursing the worst hangover of her life and Henry was also in a proper state, so he just quickly handed over Harry’s things before heading back inside to sleep some more.
“They’re not even going to say hello?” Celeste asked as Harry came back into the car.
“They’re too hungover, which means-”
“I know what that is, uncle Damian told me.” She said when Diana turned quickly and Harry chuckled.
“Of course, he did.” Diana mumbled before turning back to get going.
“Well, after a certain age it just feels like…your bones are made of chalk…and even turning over in bed makes your stomach feel sick.” Harry explained and Celeste looked concerned, “It feels like…well death.” He said and Diana laughed but nodded in agreement, “That’s why drinking isn’t so fun.”
“I mean, it’s so gross I don’t see why anyone would even drink that much.” She said.
“Exactly. Keep that mindset, kid.” Harry said and Celeste scrunched her face.
“M’not a kid.” She mumbled.
“Right. Sorry, young lady.” Harry corrected himself.
“That’s worse somehow?” She said and Diana just giggled quietly.
“Well I give up then.” He said before turning back to sit straight in his seat. He spared a glance at Diana and she glanced back. “Teenagers…” he mouthed and she gave him a sympathetic smile. “How about some music?” He asked.
“Can I choose?”
“Yeah, sure.” Harry said and handed her the little auxiliary cord. 
The drive back to Harry’s wasn’t too bad. He was just concerned with getting back to Misty and feeding her. He was a bit late now and while he knew she wound’t die, he’d never left her alone without a proper plan in place so he was eager to get back and ensure she was fine.
“And here we are.” Diana said as she game to a slow as they neared Harry’s house. 
“Mom, he said I could check out his music room really quick. Is that OK?” Celeste asked as she popped between the two front seats to be level with them. 
“Ummm sure, is that still alright?” She asked Harry who smiled and nodded.
“Of course.” He smiled.
“Yay!” Celeste grinned before drawing back and unbuckling her seatbelt as Diana parked along the curb. As soon as she stopped Celeste hopped out of the car and Harry chuckled. After a few moments Harry was opening up the front door and right as they were slipping out of their shoes Misty came around the corner meowing a bit dramatically.
“I know! I’m sorry, Mist.” Harry sighed as he crouched down and she hurried up to him, “Forgot my keys.” He said to the cat as if she fully understood his explanation. Celeste crouched down too and petted at her back gently which caused Misty to turn to her next. Diana was definitely more of a dog person, she found cats a bit gross, but it was interesting to see how this car had so much personality and she did seem sweet. “I have to feed her first.”
“Can I help?” Celeste asked and he nodded.
“C’mon.” He said to her and she picked up the cat and followed Harry to where her little area was. Diana just made herself comfortable in the living room and looked through the emails in her phone to see that she did have some students to get back to properly, but answered the ones that she could without having to do all that much. 
After a few minutes Celeste was hurrying back with some pep in her step and Harry was a few steps behind her. He was chuckling a bit and Diana glanced up at them.
“What is it?” Diana asked.
“Misty is a drama queen.” Celeste giggled and Harry nodded. “As soon as I put her food in her bowl she chomped at it! It was so funny!” She giggled harder now as she recalled the moment.
“I’ve never seen her do that before. I even fed her extra last night since I would be missing her before bed treat for her teeth.” Harry explained and Diana chuckled.
“You know, generally I dislike cats, but Misty is something else.” She hummed.
“Do you really?”
“Yeah, they’re mean! Growing up my neighbor had cats, they would wander about and one morning as I was heading to the car for school one was lingering in the bushes near our front door and it lunged at me and bit me. Totally unprovoked.” She said, “I was wearing a skirt that day, so obviously it drew blood. And I…kicked it.” She confessed and Celeste frowned but Harry chuckled a bit.
“Mom!”
“What!? It bit me and it hurt and it wouldn’t let go. My dad had to whack it across the head with a newspaper to get it off of me! I had to get stitches and everything. Look!” She said as bent her leg at knee and rolled her yoga pants a bit to expose the bottom of her calf. Celeste came closer and saw some discolored parts there and she frowned.
“Did it have rabies?”
“No. It was just mean.” Diana said and Celeste sighed.
“Well, at least Misty isn’t mean.” She said and Diana nodded.
“Right. It’ll just…take a bit for me to warm up to her.” She explained.
“So are you scared of cats now?” She asked and Diana made a sound of hesitation.
“Ehhh…I wouldn’t say afraid…I just avoid them if possible. Like if I see one on my run I might cross the street to not risk it, you know?”
“Sounds like you’re afraid.” Celeste said with a small smile.
“Well, maybe I am? Just a bit, I’m more wary of them I guess.”
“Well, that’s something Harry could help with I’m sure.” Celeste said turning to him and he chuckled.
“Technically I could.” He agreed, “S’called exposure therapy.” He said to Celeste.
“Oh, we could put you in a room full of cats!”
“Not how that works.” He said and she chuckled, “OK, let me show you the music room.” He said and then he guided them over. 
Diana had seen it when she’d been over that one time…she struggled to not think of all the lovely ways he helped get her off when she’d been over that time. So she acted really impressed yet again as he showed Celeste all of the instruments and equipment he had. He had several guitars, a keyboard that was a bit larger than theirs, he also had a synth, and electric drum kit, and two basses. Celeste was very impressed with his collection. Diana cozied up on the love seat in there and she watched on with a smile as Harry pulled down the guitars that Celeste wanted to see. He even plugged one in so that she could use the effects pedal he had out at the moment. Harry was showing her how to use it and the looper as well so that she could play the lead to whatever rhythm part was looping. Diana was loving this side of him, he seemed so into teaching Celeste and he was great, she had no idea how good he actually was at it. She had asked him what his favorite Beatles song was and Harry said it was “Something” and she asked him if he knew how to play and that’s what they were doing at the moment.
“There you go…” he smiled with pride as she started to play the solo at the bridge along with him without any mistakes thus far, “You’re doing it!” He grinned happily along with her as Diana smiled as she watched along. Harry knew the song by heart, so he had the muscle memory of it down and with that, he spared a glance up at Diana as he started to sing the final verse of the song to her, but she glanced away quickly, feeling all shy with his impromptu and secret serenade. He chuckled a bit on the words as he continued, now glancing over to Celeste as she followed along until the song ended.
“OK, I’m learning that one next.” She said with excitement.
“George Harrison cranked out some good ones, huh?” He smiled and she nodded along.
“You sing really well, Harry.” Celeste pointed out and he smiled bashfully.
“Oh, thank you so much. I love to sing, been doing it a long time. M’glad all the practice has paid off.” he said humbly and she nodded. “Well I’d love to hear you sing as well. Maybe you can show me “Over the Rainbow”? I’m sure a little extra rehearsal won’t do you any harm.” He reasoned and now Celeste was feeling a bit bashful.
“Umm…sure.” She finally said and glanced to Diana. “Can you play it for me, mom?”
“Oh, sure.” She smiled as she pushed herself out of the loveseat. “May I?” She asked Harry as she came up to the piano.
“Yeah, of course.” He said and she pulled out the stool and got comfortable before glancing to Celeste. 
Diana wasn’t a great pianist, much like Harry, she knew quite a bit, but she wasn’t a pro or anything like that. But she’d played this song plenty of times that she knew it pretty much by heart now. Harry was smiling as he watched her play and then when Celeste started to sing his jaw dropped. He was so impressed, she had a lovely voice. Her tone was pure and the timbre was rich. He could imagine that upon hearing her sing this song there truly was no competition for who got the role of Dorothy in their musical. Both he and Diana were humming along quietly as Celeste sang it though and when she finished he couldn’t help but clap.
“You’re so good!” He praised her, “That was beautiful! Where’d you learn to sing like that?!” He asked with pride and Celeste smiled bashfully but took the opportunity to put the focus back on her mom.
“Ummm…my mom.” She said with a smile and then glanced to Diana who furrowed her eyebrows and scoffed. She giggled as her face went all red.
“Oh please…”
“It’s true!” Celeste insisted. She did have such a beautiful voice, Celeste remembers it well from when she was much younger, it was one of the few things that would always work at comforting her when she needed it the most. Harry then glanced to her with a grin and Diana shook her head. “Used to sing to me all the time growing up. You have such a pretty voice, mom. Think you need to show it off a little.” Celeste suggested with a grin.
“No…no, no, no…” Diana declined bashfully.
“C’mon, we’ve all done our thing, now you show us yours.” Harry insisted, “We’ve done karaoke together.” He said and Celeste looked shocked.
“When?!” Celeste gasped.
“The night we went out with your uncle before he left.” Harry said, “We sang a duet. No need to be shy.” He insisted and she rolled her eyes.
“I was drunk.”
“No you weren’t.” He grinned smugly. His eyes met hers with a knowing glance because that night had been magical for the both of them.
“Just something short? What if we sing with you?” Celeste asked with pleading eyes.
“Perhaps.”
“What about “City of Stars” from La La Land?” Celeste suggested. She was obsessed with that movie and more than that, she was 
really trying to push a spark between them. The song was sweet and romantic and very short, “I know how to play that one! One of my friends in band was teaching me.” She suggested. “Please mom, it’s a duet so you don’t have to sing by yourself.” She enticed her and Diana sighed.
“Yeah alright, go on then.” She said as she moved off of the bench.
“Do you know that one Harry?” Celeste asked.
“Yeah, I do actually.” He smiled. Celeste then took a slight stab at it and kept messing up; she was so nervous. 
“Ummm…” she mumbled in slight defeat as her plan was starting to go wrong.
“I can play it.” Harry said to her softly and she glanced back at him with a smile and nodded and moved out of his way. He soon started to play the familiar melody and to sing the verse.
“Sing with me.” Diana said to Celeste softly and she obliged and then they joined in with Harry. He glanced back at her when they started to harmonize perfectly and Celeste just bit down on her lip and shut up to let them do their thing until the song ended and she was grinning wide.
“You guys sound so good together!” She squealed excitedly, “Maybe we can start a band!” She pondered and Diana chuckled.
“Like the Von Trapps.” Diana hummed with a grin.
“The who?” Celeste asked and Harry turned around quickly.
“You’ve never shown her “The Sound of Music”?” He asked Diana, almost looking offended.
“Ummm…I’m sure I have?” She said and when she glanced to Celeste she looked even more perplexed, “Mamita, we have watched that. It’s the musical about the Austrian family? Fleeing the Nazi regime?” She asked and Celeste shook her head.
“We’re fixing this right now.” Harry said as he stood from his piano bench and then he glanced to Diana, “Can we? Do you have time?” He asked and she looked to Celeste who nodded indicating she was very interested in this.
“Yeah, let’s do it.” Diana decided.
“Can we get lunch?” She asked and Harry nodded.
“Yeah, sure. Do you want to order in or should we make something?” He asked.
“I’m kind of feeling some Chinese.” Celeste said.
“Chinese it is!” Harry declared with a smile.
They all helped to get everything in the music room back in order and after a few minutes they were settling into the living/tv room and put on the film. They took a small break when their food was delivered and served themselves some of the food before hurrying back to continue the film. 
Everything felt so natural with the three of them. Celeste was paying attention to the movie, but her mind kept meandering to when she got upset when she thought that her mom was dating Harry. It seemed so silly now that she looked back at it. She knew that her mom thought he was handsome, but she also knew that her mom was a bit scared of love and romance. She knew that she wanted it to some extent, but that she made a lot of excuses. But everything she had said she’d want in a partner was what Harry could give her. He loved her, that was the most important thing to her mom. Harry was smart, had a great job, he was responsible and mature, he was kind and gentle, but so put together and genuine. Celeste really admired Harry and was pleased with her decision to keep Harry in her life in a personal way. 
“So what did you think?” Harry ask as the film ended and Celeste sighed as she pet Misty softly, she was currently curled up in her lap.
“It was…long.” She said and both he and Diana chuckled.
“Bu the songs were good?” She assured, “Specially when he started to sing for the kids.” She smiled and Diana nodded.
“Yeah, that’s my favorite part.”
“We know, we all heard you crying.” Celeste said and she rolled her eyes as Harry chuckled.
“Be nice to your mum.” He scolded and Diana smiled at him.
“Can we help you clean up a bit before we go?” Diana asked.
“If you want. There’s no problem.” He assured.
“I’d feel better if we did.” Diana said and he smiled.
“Sure then.”
“Can I feed Misty dinner?” Celeste asked him and Harry nodded.
“Sure! Do you need me to show you where her things are again?”
“Nope. I remember.” She said cheerfully and he nodded and with that Celeste took Misty off to her little area to get her fed, leaving Harry and Diana to clean up from their late lunch.
“Do you want to take the left over noodles? Don’t really love Chinese as left overs.” He explained to Diana.
“Right! It’s just not great re-heated.” She said and he nodded in agreement, “I will though if you don’t want them. Celeste does happen to like re-heated Chinese takeaway.” She said with a smile.
“Perfect then. I would just toss it.” He said and she nodded. They grabbed the rest of the containers and headed to the kitchen.
“Are you teaching any courses this semester?” She asked as she set their bowls in the sink and switched it on.
“Not this semester. I will teach a psychopharmacology course next semester though.”
“Ooh, sounds intense.” Diana hummed as she started to wash the dishes while he sorted their take out containers.
“Yeah, it’s one of the far more rigorous courses they take in the program. The faculty member who used to teach it is the one who resigned.” He explained and Diana hummed along to ensure him that she was still listening. “Apparently they did not find anyone to fill the position, so they’re allocating the funds for the supervision thing that Dr. Hsu had mentioned to me.”
“Oh really? So you’re going to supervise students in their training?” She asked with a smile.
“Yeah. I’m really looking forward to it. I’m also supposed to start that in the new year, so that gives me time to really organize my schedule for it. Also ummm, with a bit more time on my hands I could help you with Celeste a bit more if you need it.”
“Yeah, thank you. I’m sure she’d love that as well.” Diana responded as she rinsed the final plate and set it on the rack to dry.  “And thank you for hosting us this afternoon, it’s been really fun. We’ve both had a really nice time and well, it’s just nice to see this side of you.” She said softly as she turned to face him and he did the same.
“Well, it’s been my pleasure. It’s nice to have people over.” He said and Diana smiled and suddenly Harry frowned.
“What?”
“Your birthday’s passed.” He said recalling that it was basically November now.
“Oh yeah.” She chuckled.
“Did you do anything?”
“Just a little cake with Celeste, nothing major.” She explained.
“Well next year then, I owe you something nice to make up for it.”
“Oh that’s alright, I don’t really do much for birthdays.” She explained and he shook his head.
“Unacceptable. We’re celebrating that you’re alive and here with us, gracing us all with you presence. I’d say that’s well worth celebrating.” He flirted and she rolled her eyes with a timid smile.
“I agree!” Celeste suddenly appeared in the kitchen, “We need to have a party next time.” She said with a smile and Harry nodded once decisively.
“Exactly. A party.” He said and now Diana’s face had gone all pink with the knowledge that Celeste had heard the subtle flirtation between her and Harry.
“We’ll see.” Diana said to her, “Ready?”
“Yep.” Celeste smiled and with that Harry was walking them out and giving them each a hug before thanking them once more for letting him crash and with that they were heading off. 
…. NOVEMBER ….
“Mom, he’s here!” Celeste pointed to Damian through the various people coming out of the arrival’s terminal.
“Where?”
“There! In the tan sweater.” Celeste pointed and Diana smiled when she finally saw her brother waving when he spotted them.
“My favorite girls!” He greeted them with a group hug. “How’ve you been, sis?”
“Good, and you?”
“Great as well.” He smiled happily, “And you! Where’s your boyfriend? When do I meet him and vet him?” He asked Celeste.
“Oh you don’t need to, Harry already vetted him.” She smiled and he glanced to Diana quickly.
“Oh, did he?” He asked with inquisitive eyes.
“Yeah! He’s not my therapist anymore, just friends with us, like Grace and Henry.” She informed as she looped her arm with his to tug him along.
“Oh… well you can tell me all about that over lunch.”
“I will not be joining you two, I have to finish cooking for tomorrow.” Diana said.
“Great, we didn’t want you to come anyway…” Damian teased with a grin and she rolled her eyes as they headed off towards the car. 
They dropped her off at home to get started on everything while Damian took Celeste for lunch to catch up with her and they’d bring Diana something back. Celeste bailed on Harry for the pie when Damian’s flight details came in, but he assured her it was alright because they’d see each other for Thanksgiving dinner. Grace and Henry said they would come by as well after they had dinner with Henry’s family, which always took place a bit earlier in the day.
Diana had just put her seasoned turkey in the fridge when her phone started ringing. She rushed to wash her hands before answering when she saw it was Harry.
“Hey Har, what’s up?” She asked cheerfully.
“Can I drop my pie off now? I’m having trouble not breaking into it.” He confessed with a chuckle.
“Oh yeah, of course. And I may have something to curb that sweet tooth as well.”
“Perfect! I’ll be there in a bit.” He assured. A few minutes later she was letting Harry in and taking the pie from him.
“I’ll take that.” She smiled.
“Smart move.” He smirked.
“Though I do get why you’re tempted, this smells incredible and it looks beautiful.” She complimented.
“Thank you. I baked a lot of love into that pie.” He said as she set it on the counter.
“Well good.” She smiled, “Now, I can offer you some cookie dough ice cream instead.”
“Ooh yeah, that sounds good.” He smiled and she opened up the freezer to grab the tub of ice cream. He sat at the counter while she served them both a bit of it and Harry dug in quickly. “Your brother comes in today, right?”
“Yeah, we picked him up and he took Celeste out to catch up.” She smiled.
“Explains your lack of vehicle.”
“Yeah.” She smiled.
“She mentioned something about heading off to Ben’s tomorrow when I picked them up last week?”
“Oh yeah, but after dinner he’s going to come here for a bit instead.” She smiled.
“Good. Need a little more face-time with this kid.” He said and she smiled.
“He’s a good kid.”
“I’m sure he is. Just want to trust him with her too, you know?” He said and she smiled.
“It makes Celeste really happy knowing that you’re protective over her.” Diana said.
“And how does it make you feel?” He asked and she smiled.
“Happy as well.” She responded, “It gives me peace knowing that I’m not the only one here who has her back.” She explained.
“You know, the other day that I picked them up form school, she…she asked me if I thought you were pretty.” He said with a smirk as her eyebrows shot up.
“Did she now?” He nodded in confirmation and she shook her head and rolled her eyes.
“She told me that you said I was handsome.”
“I did. I mean, that was a while a go though.” She confirmed. “What did you say? When she asked?”
“I said that I did think you were pretty.” He smiled and she did as well, “Do you think she might be…”
“Trying to instigate something?” Diana asked and he nodded, “I’ve no idea to be honest…She can’t have changed her mind out of nowhere.”
“Right.” Harry said inquisitively, “But I do want you to know that in…making this change, having you both in my life like this, I’ve been far happier like this actually.” He said to her. “I hear from her more. Get to know about stuff when it happens, can tell her what I really want to tell her…”
“Like what?” She asked with a smile.
“Like the other day she called me and said she got annoyed at Ozzy because he told her that she was spending more time with Ben and Ruben their friends than with him and Geri now. He said that Geri felt it too, but that she just didn’t want to cause any trouble. And I told her that it was true. That she hardly mentioned them at all anymore or made plans with them now. And she was annoyed at me too upon hearing that, but then I let her know that that was normal. Obviously all of her attention is on her boyfriend now, it’s a new experience and that she’s still learning to balance it all. She then explained that she was annoyed at Ozzy because she knew he was right, that she had been a bad friend and well, she let me know later on that she did have a chat with him and Geri about making more time for them.” He said and Diana smiled.
“Good. I would’ve told her the same thing.”
“I know.” He said with a smile, “I think we’ve got the same approach to this kind of thing.” He said.
“You mean parenting?” She corrected with a grin and he chuckled. 
“Yeah, I uh, I guess so.” He said bashfully and glanced away quickly. She reached out and grabbed his chin to turn him back to her. His eyes met hers and she just offered him a soft smile.
“I’ve been…dying to kiss you again for ages.” She confessed softly, “Can I?” She asked and he nodded. Diana slightly pressed herself up and leaned in, their breaths intermingling for a few moments and right before their lips met they heard the front door creak open.
“Mom!” They heard Celeste and pulled apart quickly.
“Sorry.” She whispered and he shook his head with a smile, assuring her it was alright, “Still in the kitchen!” She called out and they heard their steps approaching before Celeste hurried in.
“We brought you-” Celeste paused when she saw Harry there, “Hi, Harry!” She greeted happily and hurried over to the stool to hug him quickly.
“Hey, petal.” He hummed happily.
“What’re you doing here?”
“I dropped off the apple pie before I ate it all myself.” He explained as she pulled back from his embrace.
“Can I see it?”
“It’s on the counter.” He nodded over to it and she hurried over and just as she was complimenting it Damian came in with a cheerful greeting.
“We brought you greek! Oh, Harry!” Damian greeted him happily as he set the bag of food down on the counter.
“Hey man, how was your flight?” He asked as he stood and they hugged briefly before pulling back.
“Pretty good. I slept through most of it so it went by fast.” He smiled. “If I had known you were coming by we would’ve picked you up some lunch too.”
“It was entirely unplanned. After I finished the pie I was having a hard time leaving it alone. Figured it was best to bring it by to someone who had some self discipline.” He chuckled and Damian did as well. 
“Yeah, I get how that can be.”
“Do you need help with your luggage?”
“Oh no, just brought a carry on bag. I’m only staying until Monday.”
“Oh I see. Well let me get out of your hair so you can all catch up. After all, I’ll be seeing you all tomorrow.” Harry said with a smile as he reached for his dish of ice cream.
“Are you sure?” Diana asked him.
“Yeah, it’s alright. Have to do a couple things round the house anyway.” He assured her. “See you tomorrow.” He hummed to Celeste as he scooted around her to set his dish in the sink and then hugged her.
“See ya’.” She chirped as she hugged him back and then he walked up to Damian who came up to grab a glass for some water.
“Bye, Harry.” He said offering his hand and they dapped quickly.
“Bye.”
“Di, what time do you want me here?” Harry asked her as he came up to her now.
“Uh, five should be good.” She said and he nodded, “I’ll walk you out, need to ask you something.” She said and he nodded. “I’ll be right back.” She smiled to her brother and Celeste before heading out of the kitchen with Harry.
“Are you happier with this set up?” Damian asked Celeste and she nodded quickly with a smile.
“Yeah, I haven’t found another therapist yet but Harry’s been more helpful this way anyway. He can be more honest about things with me and give me advice and his opinions now.” She explained, “And ummm…don’t tell mom, but I’m kind of trying to get him to like her.” She said softly and Damian chuckled.
“You shouldn’t meddle.” 
“I know…but I think they’d make a cute couple. And well…everything feels more…whole with him around now. He helps mom a lot too and I’m sure if they became even closer friends that they’d start to like each other.” She reasoned.
“What about you having issues with her dating?”
“Obviously, it’s going to be a little weird but I know he’s not going to try and create distance between mom and I. It really feels like we’re a family when he’s around.”
“Well have you ever considered that maybe your mom isn’t ready to date?” He asked and she frowned and shook her head.
“Like, I’m sure she wants to but what she went through with your dad was very traumatizing for her and it’s been really hard for her to get to a place when she feels happy again, you know? What if it doesn’t work out?” Damian asked her.
“I don’t know…”
“I can see why you’d think they’d be a good match, but as someone who loves your mom very much, I think you ought to let her do this in her own time.” He advised, “And I see your angle. Harry is a really great man from what I’ve seen and I really appreciate how he’s taken such good care of you through everything you’ve been through, but does he even want a relationship in which he’d be more than just a boyfriend to someone? If he’s with your mom then he technically has to take on the role of a father to you as well, which is a huge responsibility.” Damian explained.
“He…he told me he loves me like a daughter.” She said and Damian’s look of concern softened.
“He did?” He smiled and she nodded.
“Yeah, when we met up for my appointment after I came back from camp. He said it was getting hard to be objective in therapy because he cared for me more than just a regular patient. And well, I love him too and that’s why we stopped doing therapy.” She explained and Damian nodded with a smile. Obviously, he knew that Harry and Diana had crushes on each other, but he also knew his sister well and he knew that it was rare for things to get into a serious stage with Diana. “Every time I’ve talk to mom about her dating she says the most important thing is for the person she dates to love me and care for me as well and to understand that I’m her priority.” She explained, “And he gets that. And honestly, they just look cute together, don’t they?” She asked with a smile and Damian chuckled.
“They do.” Damian agreed, “I guess what I’m trying to say is that we need to let her do this in her own time, you know?”
“I know, but I just want her to see that he’s an option, that’s it.” She said and he sighed.
“Alright, just…tread lightly.” He advised and she nodded.
************
“So what did you want to talk to me about? If anything at all?” Harry asked with a smirk.
“Ummm…I’m going to talk to Celeste after dinner tomorrow. Want to wait to have her on an emotional high from hanging out with Ben.” She said and he smiled, “I want to tell her that I just need her to understand that I want to find happiness too…like romantically.” She said more softly and he smiled.
“Yeah love, I mean it’s important to have your needs met as well and she should understand that. I think she can handle it better now. With her boyfriend I think she can see that different layers of support she has now that you might be wanting as well. It can be eye opening.”
“That’s what I’m thinking.” She said with a smile.
“I want you to know though that you don’t have to rush into this conversation if you’re not ready yet. I meant it when I said I would wait and do things on your time, Di.” Harry assured her.
“I know you meant it, Harry. But this is entirely about me. I need to stop being afraid of my 15 year old daughter.” She giggled and he smiled, “I have to just toughen up and tell her that I can’t put my personal life on pause any longer just to not upset her. If she can have a significant other I can too.” She said and he chuckled.
“Well, however you do it just know that I love you and that I’ll be here for you if you need anything.” He said and she smiled.
“OK, now I’m going to kiss you.” She said and he smiled as he dipped down and their lips met quickly a few times. “OK, go before I can’t let you leave.” She smiled into the kiss and he chuckled.
“See you tomorrow.” He smiled and turned away.
“Bye!” She waved as he hurried out of her gate and then made her way back in.
**********
Of course, Diana had been the one who had been prepping their dinner all day so she was the last to shower and get ready. She was just finishing up her make up when Celeste’s voice cut through the soft music playing from her phone.
“Harry’s here!” She shouted and Diana started to pick up the pace, she didn’t want to make them wait too long to eat. Moments later Celeste was coming into her room and peering into the bathroom. “Harry’s here.” She said with a smile.
“I heard, I’m almost done I swear. Have your uncle offer him a drink or something.” She smiled and Celeste nodded. 
“What’re you wearing?”
“Ummm, just some jeans and a sweater I think?” Celeste scrunched up her face, “What?”
“That’s too casual, can I pick your outfit?” She asked excitedly and Diana sighed, “Please?” She pleaded and Diana sighed.
“Yeah, alright. But go have your uncle take care of Harry first.”
“Okay.” She grinned and rushed off. 
Diana was quick to finish her makeup before Celeste returned and soon she was looking through her closet. After they went back and forth on a few things Diana was putting on her light jeans and then a fitted cream colored tank with a matching long cardigan. Celeste picked out some light gold jewelry for her to wear as well and with that Diana was sliding her feet into her Ugg scuffette slippers. She spritzed on some perfume and then hurried down.
Celeste was pleased with the look, it was casual yet chic and she felt that the neutral colors really brought out the green in her mom’s eyes, not to mention the rosiness of her blush and lipgloss stood out far more, she wanted Harry to just focus on how pretty her mom was.
“Sorry for keeping you all waiting!” She apologized with Celeste trailing after her, “Please take a seat at the dining table I can start getting everything out.” She insisted.
“We can help, Di.” Harry assured and Damian nodded.
“Alright, ummm I say we set up the food here to keep the table clear and ummm we can just fix our own plates, yeah?”
“Perfect.” Harry nodded. With that she searched around for serving spoons while they brought out the small turkey from the oven along with the crispy and creamy green bean casserole. There was also some mashed potatoes, Brussel sprouts, and gravy for the turkey and mashed potatoes. She brought out the plates as well and then insisted on everyone starting to eat. Once they were all around the table with their food ready she sighed happily.
“Before we dig in, I just wanted to say how grateful I am for each of you here. Obviously for my family, you guys are absolutely everything to me and I’m so lucky to have you all. And well Harry, I’m glad that you could be here with us and be a part of this day as well. I am so grateful for all of your help with Celeste over the last year. I’m so happy that we’ve found yet another wonderful friend in you.” She smiled at him, “Ummm, that’s it. If anyone else wants to say anything?” She asked glancing around and Harry cleared his throat.
“Ummm yeah, I’d like to say something.” Harry smiled timidly, “I just wanted to say that I’m so grateful that I got to meet you guys. I mean, the circumstances in which we met were obviously quite dire, but ummm, things have been so good now and it’s great to see how well this little family is thriving.” He said with relief as he glanced to Celeste and then Diana, “I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of it and to be able to share in this with you guys. Thank you so much for having me.” He finished with a smile and Celeste just smiled wide at him.
“Well if that’s it then dig in!” Diana insisted and they got to eating. 
Everyone was complimenting Diana on her superb cooking, which she was so pleased they all loved. She felt that cooking was one of her love languages, she loved to make someone feel nostalgic or special with food. The chatter around the table was lively and fun and after a couple hours Grace and Henry had shown up as well. They started playing some games and when Ben arrived they brought out dessert. He and Celeste had joined Ozzy, Geri, and a couple other friends to play some video game online and they were in the TV room shouting and laughing while they played. The grown ups were still hanging out around the dining table, drinking their wine while continuing to chat while they played some easy card games. 
“You guys are cheaters!” Damian shouted and everyone was sniggering as he took the big pile of cards from their game of BS.
“Maybe lie better.” Grace quipped with a grin and Diana sniggered. Unbeknownst to everyone else, she and Diana had a system where they could gentle tap at the other’s foot if they were sure someone was lying.
“Something is fishy here.” Henry agreed with Damian and Grace just rolled her eyes. After a few more rounds of only the guys losing they were getting a bit salty and Damian quit and said he was going to go rinse the dishes to put them in the dish washer. Henry and Harry decided to go help and Diana and Grace just giggled as they sat at the table, putting all the cards away.
“So how was it with Henry’s family?” Diana asked.
“Really great.” She smiled giddily.
“Yeah?” Diana asked excitedly and she nodded again.
“His sisters are so sweet and fun. I had met his mom briefly before, but I got to know her a bit more and she was so sweet, just as she was when we first met. We had a really nice time, got to meet some of his cousins too.” She said and Diana smiled.
“That’s great, Gracie.”
“I know…I do love him a lot and ummm…I think I could really…get into it with him like, long haul.” She said softly and Diana squeaked quietly in excitement as Grace blushed and chuckled at her best friend’s reaction.
“That’s amazing, Grace!”
“I’m so happy I gave him a chance. My mom also told me I’d be a fool to not put myself out there for him. She really likes him for me and well, obviously I like him for me…” she giggled and Diana nodded. “So ummm…we’ll see. I mean, we’ve almost been together a year and I guess I just want to figure out what exactly he wants or plans for the future because all I know is that I want him in mine.”
“I’m so proud of you, babe!” Diana said reaching for her hand.
“Thanks, Di.” She smiled bashfully, “What about you? Are you still interested in Harry?” She asked and Diana smiled and shrugged.
“I mean…yeah. It’s been nice having him around more in more of a friendly capacity. He’s also really enjoying getting to be more present for Celeste. I think she’s…trying to set us up.” She sniggered.
“If only she knew…” Grace said with a smirk and Diana chuckled and rolled her eyes playfully.
“Regardless, I’m gonna talk to her tonight about that. About my love life and my wants and needs. I know that as much as she likes Harry it’s going to be a bit weird for her when I do start dating. Like right now my time is basically 55-40-5 Celeste, work, and then just a wee bit of socializing.” She chuckled and Grace nodded. “I mean, she’s going to be 18 soon…she’s talking about colleges already because she wants to go somewhere with or near Ben when he graduates and a lot of the ones she’s looking into are out of state or up North…like I don’t want to be all bored and useless when she’s gone. I should have a social support already in place you know?”
“Yeah, definitely.” Grace nodded in agreement.
“God, they grow up so freaking fast…” she sighed and Diana nodded. “I remember when I met you guys and she was just like shy little three-year old cherub.” She pouted with endearment and Diana smiled. “She was the most well behaved child I’d ever seen. Sat through that whole Abnormal Psychology class without a hiccup.” She recalled fondly.
“Yeah, she’s always been pretty well-behaved.” She smiled happily, “She has an easy temperament when she’s not being all hard-headed.” Diana sniggered.
“I’ve gotta say…you and Harry would do a great job bringing her up for the next couple years. They’ve got a really good connection. Henry says he’s never seen Harry like this. Sure, he was all love-dove with Rebecca, he’s quite the sweetheart regardless. But yeah, this is on another level, he’s everything you’ve ever hoped for, babe. Don’t let him slip away.” She pressed and Diana nodded.
“Yeah, I’ll try my best.” She smiled.
“Should I set the kettle for some coffee or tea, ladies?” Henry suddenly called to them from the kitchen, just a few feet away.
“Yes, please!” They both responded in unison and he chuckled and went off to do that.
For the rest of the night things went on pretty smoothly and it was nearing 11pm when Ruben came to pick up Ben. He said his goodbyes to everyone and then Celeste walked him out alone. Diana knew that they probably wanted a little bit of privacy, so she allowed it, they had been very good and respectful of all her rules over the past month and she was rewarding that with a bit more trust towards them. She couldn’t help but notice that Harry kept glancing towards the front door and she tried to hold back her laugh. She was nervous about it all as well, but she had been a teenager once and the knew that she too wanted her parents’ trust, which was something she didn’t have to this day. Maybe getting pregnant at 18 warranted some of their doubt, but she knew Celeste was a lot more prudent in the matters of love than she had been at that age. Diana had never been the focus of someone’s attention before Wes, obviously, the got carried away with it. But Celeste had been the crush of a few people already, she was never really interested though until Ben.
“I think I ought to see what’s holding Celeste up.” Harry suddenly shot up from his seat.
“I don’t know if you wanna do that, man…” Damian hummed with a grin.
“Just to make sure she’s alright.” He said and hurried off and they all sniggered as he headed off. “Diana!” They heard him call from the front door after a few moments and they all laughed as she stood.
“Be right back.” She hummed knowingly and headed off to the entrance of her home.  
“What is it, H?”
“They’re like full-blown making out out there!” He whisper shouted before looking back through the peephole with concern and then back at Diana.
“I know, Harry. They hardly get a chance.”
“She’s 15.” He said and she smiled.
“I know…and weren’t we 15 and hormonal, once?” She asked and he sighed.
“I don’t know how you deal with this…” he chuckled.
“I trust my daughter.”
“I trust her too, but I don’t know Ben that well and-”
“But I do and he’s a really good and respectful kid-”
“Tell me that when you see where he’s grabbing her-”
“Harry!” She smacked his arm with a chuckle and he sighed, “He has a good head on his shoulders as well, OK? I trust him too, just simmer down a bit.”
“Yeah, but also enough’s enough, you know? Like they’ve been out there for 15 minutes-”
“Oh…” Diana said and he nodded.
“Yeah. We both know a lot can happen in 15 minutes. I’m not saying they can’t…have privacy, but also we need to set a boundary with it to ensure that they don’t…what’re you smiling about?” He asked because her reaction was not the one he expected.
“You said that we need to set a boundary.” She said and he bit his lip and sighed.
“Right…you need to…but I can’t tell you that because it’s not really my place, is it?” He mumbled and she smiled and reached for his hand, “I’m sorry. I don’t mean to tell you how to parent. Clearly you’ve done an excellent job with her it’s just…weird to…accept that she’s like growing up.”
“It’s weird for me too. I mean, it’s all new for me as well so I’m not entirely sure of the limits to set either. I mean, I didn’t have a boyfriend until I was 18 so I was technically an adult.”  She explained with a smile.
“Right. Well…I kind of had a little fling with a girl at 16 and I can assure you that if her dad didn’t threaten my life before our first date we would’ve maybe moved into territory neither of us were truly ready for.” He said and she nodded in understanding. “Obviously, I don’t want to threaten Ben’s life, but I also would hate to give them too much leeway and then have them…doing things that they think they’re ready for but then regret down the line.” He said and she nodded. “As lovely as Ben might be, he’s also a kid, he’s not nearly mature enough for more. Boys can get scared and be fickle. They’re so young and it’s so easy to get carried away. What if something more happens and then they break up? She’ll be so gutted. I don’t want that for her.” He said.
“You’re absolutely right. I don’t want that for her either.” She agreed.
“I propose a signal.”
“OK, what’s the signal?” She asked and he reached over to the light switch.
“Which one is for the outdoor light?”
“The right one.” She said and he grabbed it between his fingers and flicked the light on and off several times and she giggled. “I think that’ll spare you from having to see her snogging with her boyfriend.” He said and she nodded.
“Yeah, good idea. I’ll talk to her about this as well.” She said.
“Again, I’m sorry for butting in. I just…I don’t want her to get hurt.”
“It’s alright. Thank you for being far more vigilant than me. I ummm…I’m not great at being too strict. I just don’t want to wake up one day and be as restrictive as my parents were with me. If I had a bit more leeway I think I wouldn’t have been as hasty as I was with Wes.” She confessed.
“Well you’re both dealing with a new situation, you’re still figuring it out. And well, I’m a bit glad you were hasty with Wes. Celeste is such a great kid.” He smiled and she did as well.
“Thank you. Really Harry.”
“Of course love.” They faintly heard Celeste calling out a goodbye and then they rushed back to the dining room where they heard the front door open and after a few moments Celeste was coming into the kitchen. Obviously, her lips were all swollen and she just smiled at everyone timidly before grabbing a glass of water and drinking it down.
“I’m just gonna get ready for bed.” She announced and Diana nodded.
“Alright, mamita.” She smiled and then Celeste came over and said her goodnight to everyone, “Wait up for me OK? I’ll be up in a bit?” Diana said quietly and she nodded and with one final goodnight she hurried upstairs. After another ten minutes everyone was saying their goodbyes and heading out of the house with a few left overs under their arms. Damian headed up to his room and Diana washed up and got dressed in her PJ’s before knocking on Celeste’s door. When she got her permission to come in she stepped in with a smile.
“Hey sweetheart.”
“Hi.” She smiled timidly, “I think I know why you wanna talk.”
“What’s that?” She asked and she sighed.
“You saw me and Ben kissing like that and-”
“Look, that’s part of it. I ummm…I know that’s bound to happen.” She said and Celeste nodded, “But ummm…speaking from experience, even as a grown up, a lot of the times when we’re kissing and ummm…obviously it’s getting…arousing…” she said and Celeste looked down at her fingers in her lap now to dispel any embarrassment and awkwardness she was feeling, “Ummm, I guess what I’m trying to say is that you can get carried away without meaning to or even planning on it.” She explained, “And ummm…obviously, I know you and Ben are both smart and responsible young people, but ummm…I also can’t just let you guys…make out like that without ummm…having a signal of like…it’s enough.” She said and Celeste nodded in understanding. “I understand that you need privacy and I think the light thing was a good way to ummm to tell you to wrap it up. Yeah? Is that a good signal?” She asked.
“Yeah, I think that was good.” She said and Diana nodded.
“OK, perfect that’ll be it. So whenever I feel like it’s ummm getting to be too long then I’ll do that?”
“Yeah, OK.”  She agreed. “I also have ummm…talked to Ben about being nervous to do anything more than kiss for the time being. He’s very respectful of it though and never tries to push it, just to let you know.” She informed her.
“That’s great, mamita. I’m really happy that you feel comfortable with setting boundaries and that Ben respects those and you.”
“Yeah. I learned that in therapy from Harry.” She smiled and Diana mirrored her smile. “Now, what did you want to talk to me about?” She asked and Diana bit her lip.
“Ummm…it’s about me actually.” She said Celeste’s eyebrows furrowed a bit in question.
“Is everything OK?” She asked and Diana nodded.
“Yeah, mamita. It’s just more about…my personal life. Like obviously, you mean everything to me, but as you get older you’ll slowly start to…leave me. Which is completely normal and expected,” she smiled, “But ummm…I also don’t want to be all alone when that day comes, you know?” She said and Celeste nodded in understanding, “I ummm…I know you’ve had your reservations about me dating in the past, but I also need you to understand that I also have a need for companionship.” She explained, “I want to let you know that, that doesn’t mean I won’t have time for you. I just want to put a bit more effort into exploring my own love life now that you’re mostly occupied with Ben and your friends.” She said, “I mean, you’re phasing me out, which is totally normal, so don’t feel bad!” She said quickly, “I just have more time on my hands now and I want to use it to find…love, I guess.” She said and Celeste nodded.
“Yeah, I get that. It’s fine. I think you should date. I mean…I’ve seen how nice it can be and ummm…I’m sorry for making such a big fuss about you having that before. I feel like it was…selfish of me.”
“Of course not. It’s normal for you to be worried that I might forget all about you with a new thing to distract me. But I assure you, I’m choosing to be a bit more selfish with my personal time, not with the time I put into being your mom. You always come first, OK?” She assured and Celeste smiled and nodded.
“OK, so are you already dating someone or are you looking anywhere specific?”
“Ummm, not really…I do have a few dating apps that I’ve been…browsing through, just seeing what’s out there.”
“What about any….friends you might have? That might…also be looking for a relationship.” She asked and Diana chuckled.
“I don’t know…”
“Well that’s a good place to look because if they’re your fiend already then that means that I already know them and probably like them and get along with them, no? And obviously, they know about me already, so you wouldn’t have to tell them you’re a mom and worry about building up to an introduction…” Celeste said and Diana chuckled.
“Yeah, that’s…true…”
“Yeah, it’s genius!” Celeste said and Diana nodded, “Just…keep your eyes peeled. The love of your life could be right in front of you, just waiting for you to notice them.” She said with a suggestive arch to her eyebrows.
“Yeah, OK.” Diana smiled and Celeste grinned mischievously, “What’re you smirking about?”
“Nothing…just excited for you I guess. I want you to be so happy and to be treated nicely by someone who’s smart and handsome…that’s all.” Celeste shrugged coyly and Diana looked at her skeptically for a bit.
“Alright…well that’s all I wanted to say to you. Other than that, did you have a nice time tonight?”
“Yeah, I had a lot of fun. Oh ummm, tomorrow can Ozzy and Geri come over? We haven’t really hung out all that much and I kind of want to make it up to them.” She said and Diana nodded.
“Course, mamita.” She agreed.
“OK, thank you.” She smiled happily and Diana hugged and kissed her head quickly before leaving her alone for the night.
When Diana made it into her room she got changed and then ready for bed. She was getting settled in bed when her phone dinged from her bedside table, she reached for it and saw a text from Harry and she smiled.
Tumblr media
She decided to just FaceTime instead of texting back and he was quick to pick up.
“Hey!” He answered happily. He too was sitting in bed.
“Hi.” She smiled.
“How’d it go?”
“Really good. Especially to the boundary thing we talked about and apparently she has told Ben that she’s really not ready to try anything more than just kissing and he’s been very respectful of her boundary, so I’m glad that she’s standing up for herself. She ensured I knew you taught her that in therapy.” She said with a smile and he chuckled.
“I reinforced information she already knew from you.” He said and she chuckled.
“Well thank you either way. But ummm…it seems she’s really ready for me to just put myself out there romantically.”
“Yeah?” He asked and she hummed with a nod.
“Yeah, she insisted I look in my friend pool because they’d know about her and that she was an important part of my life. She said to keep my eyes peeled because the love of my life could be right in front of me.” She said with amusement and Harry chuckled.
“Oh really?” He chuckled and she nodded.
“Yep.” She grinned.
“And do you think she’s right about that?” He asked her with a flirty smile and she smiled.
“Mmmm…maybe.” She hummed and he chuckled, “I guess it depends on who’s standing in front of me.” She teased and he chuckled.
“Ummm…just me, I hope. Unless there’s someone else in your room.” He said and she giggled.
“Nope…just ummm…s’just you.” She said bashfully. “For the record I do think that she might be trying to get us together.”
“Oh yeah, you think?” He asked with a grin and she laughed.
“Yeah, perhaps…” she hummed.
“So now that your daughter is willing to share you…can I ask you on a date?” He inquired and she bit her lip and nodded.
“Ummm, yeah.” She said and he was smiling so wide.
“Perfect. I’ll ummm…plan something and properly ask you out. It’s gonna be a surprise.” He said and she smiled as she felt her entire body tingling with excitement. She was so giddy right now.
“Oh my god, OK…” she chuckled, “Can I ask one thing of you though?”
“Yeah, what is it?” He asked.
“Just ensure you keep my view clear incase the love of my life walks by, don’t wanna miss it, you know?” She joked and he chuckled.
“Real funny…now I have to come up with a way to constantly be standing in front of you… I'm thinking a three foot distance max.” he joked and she giggled. “That’s how committed I am to this.” He said and she smiled wide.
“Well, that was all I wanted to ummm, to tell you. I’m really excited for what this means for ummm…for us.” She said more quietly with a blush to her cheeks.
“Me too, love. Thanks for calling.”
“Of course. Have a good night.”
“Night. Sweet dreams, love.” He smiled.
“You too, Harry.” She said softly and they hung up. Her heart was hammering in her chest and her hands even felt shaky as her soon changing reality settled before her. Celeste was absolutely right, the love of her life was right before her, he had been for a while now. She was just so fortunate that their paths had crossed and that finally, their time was coming.
