Home Again One Shot

When you heard that your older sister Alice had moved back to Los Angeles, of course you went straight to her house to see her as you had missed her.

It hurt when she moved to New York, but you understood it – she wanted to raise a family with Austen despite you never really liking him.

You were a fair bit younger than Alice, you were her full biological sister but almost twelve years younger due to your parents – Lillian and John – getting back together for a brief time when Alice was only eleven or so.

Unlike Alice, you lived with your Dad until he died and by then he had left you and Alice the house he lived in.

Even though you had been living there, when Alice wanted to move back you said you would move out to allow her more space with the girls.

You had heard from Alice about the guys staying at her house and she was interested in George, he seemed sweet enough but you were yet to meet them.

Deciding to surprise the girls, you had driven to the house and walked around to the back to see your nieces sitting with three, extremely hot, guys.

You cleared your throat, causing Isabel and Rose to turn around.

"Aunty Y/N!" they both exclaimed in unison.

Rosie got up first, coming to hug you so you picked her up and hugged Isabel with your other arm.

"We missed you," Rosie spoke as she rested her head on your shoulder.

You smiled at the both of them. "I missed you two as well."

It was then that your sister appeared and pulled you into a hug. "Hi, I didn't know you were dropping by."

"I figured I'd drop in. I wanted to grab a couple of the scripts as I'm working on something at the moment and I need some of his inspiration," you explained to her.

"By 'his' do you mean John Kinney?" the guy with his hair spiked up, previously sat by Issy.

You nodded, laughing slightly. "Well he is my Dad."

The same guy's mouth dropped open, whilst the youngest out of the three turned to Alice in surprise. "You have a sister?"

"She's a fair few years younger than me, but yes, she is my sister."

"I dye my hair hence why it is not blonde like Ally's, but other than that we're pretty much the same," you commented with a shrug of your shoulders.

"Oh sorry! I haven't introduced you, have I?" Alice suddenly remembered. "George is practically Issy's new friend and our Dad's biggest fan," She joked as Isabel went to sit next to George again. "And then there's Teddy who is at the head of the table," She gestured to the youngest of them, "Last but not least, Harry who is Teddy's older brother."

Harry gave a slight wave with a smirk on his face. "Nice to meet you...Y/N, was it?"

"That would be me," you confirmed.

Alice disappeared back inside, stating she needed to sort things out inside and then she would be back.

Once you placed Rosie down, she tugged at your hand with an exited smile on her face. "We're watching one of Grandpa's movies tonight as a surprise for Mommy."

"Will you stay and watch it with us?" Isabel piped up and asked you.

"If you will have me."

When your sister went out, the girls got you to help with the food whilst the boys went outside and set up the projector and blankets.

"Oh, this looks good!" Alice stated when she walked through the door.

You smiled at her and went to stand by the plates, when Harry came next to you. "Shall we take these outside?"

You then moved outside with your sister questioning it until she saw the projector and blankets "Aw you guys."

She sat down next to George and Isabel, whilst Rosie was next to Teddy and you and Harry were curled up next to each other.

Soon enough, your sister was asleep on George, Isabel had gone to bed and Teddy had taken Rosie in due to her being fast asleep.

That left you and Harry together.

You weren't blind, he was clearly attractive but you had just met the guy.

He smiled at you, sitting up slightly against the cushions whilst still allowing you to be leaning against him.

"So how come you don't live here?"

You turned to Harry. "I used to, my Dad left the house to the both of us but Al was out in New York whilst I was still here," you began to explain. "We just agreed that I would live here, and if the girls wanted to visit then they could but when Al left her ex she needed somewhere and it was pointless me being in a big old house by myself when my sister and nieces could live here and I found a new place."

"You gave up this place for your sister?"

"Of course. I lived here all my life, seeing my Mum every other weekend when Alice was there and then Alice came here on the other weekends."

Harry was nodding along to your words, seeming to understand.

"How about you? Why the move from Brooklyn to L.A?"

He chuckled, the adorable smirk reappearing. "An agent contacted me about the short that we submitted to a film festival. Wants to turn it into a real movie."

"And you ended up staying in my Dad's guest house how?"

"Your sister was at the same bar as we were, I hit on her at the bar and we ended up spending the whole night with her and her friends," he began to explain. "We went to a club, Alice ended up dancing with George and they woke up in bed together whilst Teddy and I woke up in the lounge."

You sat up slightly, not wanting to be Harry's somewhat substitute for your sister. "So, you're into my sister?"

He shook his head when he realised what you were implying. "I mean, yeah she is attractive but George is into her and she's into him – I'm not one to get in the way of that."

You had been nodding along with his words, listening and reassuring yourself slightly.

"Plus, I happen to think I have quite an attractive woman next to me."

You laughed at his words. "Oh please, you only just met me."

He shrugged his shoulders as he smiled down at you. "Does that mean I can't have your number?"
