Part Sixty-Nine

*19 Years Later*

“You don't know, oh, oh. You don't know you're beautiful, oh, oh. You don't know you're beautiful, oh, oh. And that’s what makes you beautiful,” Zach finished the song, hitting every note perfectly; despite his nerves.

“Lauren, you better stop crying before he comes off stage,” Harry laughed, kissing his wife’s cheek; which had tears sliding down them- much to her children’s embarrassment.

“Yes mum, it’s so embarrassing,” Skye said, from where she stood beside her twin sister, Brooke.

“It’s not like you haven’t heard him sing before,” Brooke rolled her eyes as her mother tried to wipe the tears from her eyes.

“Mama look,” Little Daray tugged on her mother’s hand, whilst pointing her finger to some television screens that were backstage so the family can watch the audition.

“He’ll get through Harry, just you see,” Louis patted one of his best friend and band mates shoulder. Harry just gave a nervous nod in response. Although they all knew Zach would get through, he has an amazing talent in singing, but everyone was still nervous to hear the judge’s respnce.

Harry and Lauren married ten years after they first met; even Justin Bieber came to the wedding after him and Lauren kept in touch and became very good friends. Harry and Lauren then had their first child only three years after being together.

Zach Louis Styles, now aged seventeen, was their first child; in fact despite Harry being the youngest member of the band he was the first to have a child. Of course, the middle name of his first child had to be ‘Louis’ and his god father is indeed Louis Tomlinson; his god mother being Gemma Styles, Harry’s older sister.

Then when Zach was the age of five years old, Lauren and Harry had twin girls, naming them Skye Primrose Styles and Brooke Paige Styles; who are now the age of twelve. From a young age Zach, Skye and Brooke all got the singing voice from their father. Lauren was very pleased about this.

Finally, the youngest Styles member, of only five years of age, is Daray Jade Styles. She never failed to amuse.

Louis did in fact marry Beth, so she is now Beth Tomlinson instead of Beth Mazuryk. They have three children. The oldest, Olivia Grace Tomlinson, aged thirteen, the only girl they had; her god mother being Louis’ younger sister Lottie; and her god father being Harry.

They also had twin boys, called Jay Harry Tomlinson and Tyler James Tomlinson, aged ten. And again the first boy born had the middle name of ‘Harry’, Jay being born twenty-seven minutes before Tyler. The three of them had also inherited Louis’ singing voice; but Olivia had also inherited Beth’s love of photography. The boys had a love for pranking and being down-right immature; much to their parents liking. Louis had to be the most immature father in the world, but everyone loved him.

Molly and Liam also got married and had two children of their own- one boy and one girl. The oldest was a boy, Connor Jeremy Payne, aged eight. The also had a girl but at only the age of two years old, Chloe Vienna Payne is the youngest child in the One Direction family. She was always clinging on to someone. Harry and Zayn had been trying to teach her to walk, but she just clung on to their hands and wouldn’t move.

Zayn and Mel had also married, just as the others, but they only had one child, a boy- much to Zayn’s pleasure and Mel’s annoyance. Zayn and Mel made a bet on what gender the baby would be; Mel said girl, Zayn said boy. Zayn won; so he got to pick the name. Peeta Daniel Malik, aged nine, is the only Malik child; but like his father, takes a lot of pride in his appearence.

Finally, Sophia and Niall- they did marry as the others married; Niall proposed to Sophia in an air balloon as he’d always wanted to. They had one child, a girl called Reece Alyssa Horan, aged four. Also, Sophia is in fact eight months pregnant, with a boy. They had decided on a name- Justin Greg Horan. Sophia suggested the first name, and Niall agreed; then they decided the middle name should be Niall’s brother’s name. They had also asked Greg to be Justin’s god father when he is born. Niall was particularly excited to be having a son, as he couldn’t wait to teach him football.

Zach, being seventeen years old, decided he wanted to try and get into the singing business, as his father was, and took the same route by entering the X Factor. Obviously the judges weren’t the same as before with Simon Cowell. Daniel Barlow, Gary Barlow’s son, is just one put of four judges now; as well as Daniel there was Conor Maynard, Cher Lloyd and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.

Everyone had come to support him.

Everyone included- his parents and siblings, (who you already know about); the Tomlinson family, the Horan family, the Malik family, and the Payne family.

Zach had decided he wanted to sing One Direction’s first single as his audition song and had been practising it for weeks, in fact for months before he came on the show for his audition. Not that he needed to practise it, he has been able to sing it note perfect since he first heard it.

Now all they could do was wait nervously for the judge’s comments.

“Zach, you are defiantly your father’s son,” Cher smiled, “That was incredible.”

“Thank you,” Zach smiled. He was so nervous; his insides were literally doing jumping jacks.

“Zach, I didn’t really know your father, but I get a feeling you get compared to him all the time?” Daniel said.

“Yes,” Zach smiled sadly.  As much as he loved his dad and as much as he was inspired by his father; he hated being compared to him. He wanted to be his own person; he wanted to be known as Zach Styles, not Harry Styles’ son.

“Well, I guarantee everyone is going to know you as Zach Styles and not Harry Styles’ son after that performance, that was truly amazing,” Daniel gave Zach a thumbs up.

“Thank you,” Zach smiled again.

“Is it hot in here? Or is it just you?” Leigh-Anne joked, “You are going to have all the girl’s asking for your number now. The UK best get ready because Zach Styles is here to stay!”

“Thank you,” Zach laughed lightly.

“Well, let’s do the results,” Daniel took charge.

“Absolutely mind-blowing; a million times yes Zach, that was the best audition I have seen so far,” Conor smiled.

“Easiest yes yet,” Cher smiled.

“Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!” Leigh-Anne smiled.

“You’ve got four yes’s, congratulations, we’ll see you at bootcamp,” Daniel smiled.

“Thank you so much!” Zach smiled. He had never been so happy in his life. Suddenly the stage was swarming with the One Direction family. All of them cheering and congratulating Zach. The crowd literally went wild, as they cheered and whooped and clapped, as they saw who had come to support Zach.

“Thank you,” Zach waved to the judge’s as everyone made their way off stage.

“That was amazing,” Skye and Brooke said at the same time, congratulating their older brother.

“Almost as good as ours,” Louis grinned, patting his god son on the back.

“It was better than yours,” Beth smirked at her husband.

“You did not just go there,” Niall gasped in horror.

“I did,” Beth stuck out her tongue.

“Do you have to be so childish?” Olivia scolded her mum. Everyone looked at Olivia in shock. Olivia was probably the most immature out of all of them and she was thirteen. “I’m just kidding, be as immature as you want,” Olivia laughed.

“Thought you were being serious for a minute there Liv,” Jay and Tyler said at the same time, laughing at their sister.

“I wanna be forever young!” Beth and Louis sang loudly.

“We can see why you weren’t a singer mum,” Jay laughed and high-fived his twin.

“I’m brilliant I’ll have you know,” Beth crossed her arms immaturely.

“Come on, let’s get out of here,” Molly laughed at her immature friend.

“Where to?” Liam asked, picking up two year old Chloe.

“Nando’s!” Four year old Reece shouted and everyone laughed.

“Looks like it runs in the family,” Sophia laughed.

“What can I say? We brought her up right,” Niall grinned.

“I agree, she has great taste,” Zayn grinned.

“Let’s go kids,” Harry smiled.

“And who were you addressing that to?” Mel asked.

“Well it certainly wasn’t this lot,” Harry gestured to the children around him.

“Aren’t you so funny,” Sophia muttered sarcastically.

“I know I am, you don’t have to tell me,” Harry winked.

“Let’s just go celebrate okay?” Liam ushered everyone out of the building.

“Yes Daddy,” Everyone grinned; even little Chloe was in on the joke at two years of age.

“That joke will never end,” Lauren laughed.

“Neither will Zayn’s roller coaster of life,” Sophia smirked as Zayn face-palmed.

“Seriously? I thought you’d all finally forgotten about that,” Zayn whined.

“Never,” Everyone shook their heads.
