#and of course. raising fink and spending time with her made him really happy too

[transvoxman]

Ok actually I was wrong in the tags, laserblast was never outwardly a jerk in highschool, not for anything that could be traced back to him. He was Always nice, he was Always the bigger person, specifically just so that no one could ever say "he wouldn't make a good hero, he was mean to me once." Poor guy created his Whole Personality around having a career as the Most Successful Hero Ever, he never did a genuine/true-to-humself thing in his whole goddamn life until he started being Venomous.

Chapter Two

A/N: It’s been quite a while, but I’ve finally written a bit more to the story. I’m very excited to see where this story takes me, but in the mean time - enjoy xx

I know it’s been a while, so you can read chapter one here

“Daddy?”

Harry grunted slightly as the small voice snatched him from his dreams. He twitched, then rolled over, and finally his eyes opened and fixed on the tiny silhouette in the doorway, highlighted by the moonlight from the window. Harry frowned - Maisie’s cheeks looked shiny, as though they were glistening with tears.

“What is it, honey?” he mumbled, propping himself up on his elbow.

“I had a bad dream.”

“A bad dream?” he said, feeling delirious with sleepiness.

“I normally go and sleep with Mummy if I have a bad dream.”

“Come on then, Maisie,” he murmured, holding an arm out. Maisie hurried over and clambered onto the bed, her favourite Dalmatian cuddly toy cuddled to her. Once on the mattress, Harry curled an arm round her tiny body and hugged her to him.

“Okay now?”

“Yeah,” Maisie said, snuggling into him. “It was a horrible dream.”

“Yeah? Don’t think about it now, darling.”

Maisie was silent for a while, and Harry absently stroked her ginger hair, already falling back under, back into the dream he was having.

“Daddy?”

“Huh?” He awoke suddenly again, then remembered where he was. “Yes, baby?”

“Why isn’t Mummy coming back?”

He frowned. “Did Granny not tell you?”

“She did, but I can’t remember why.”

“Mummy’s been specially chosen,” he murmured, stroking her auburn locks in an attempt to sooth her to sleep. “God chose her to become an angel.”

“Oh yeah,” Maisie said, then snuggled down into the bed. “Why Mummy?”

“Because Mummy was the perfect person to become an angel,” he said, laying back down and trying not to close his eyes. “This way she can look after you all the time, even when she’s not here.”

“She’s never here.”

“Exactly, but she’s looking after you even now.”

Maisie seemed to consider this - she was silent for a while. So silent that Harry nearly dosed off again.

“What are we doing tomorrow, Daddy?”

“Um…I was thinking we go shopping. Get you some nice food. Get you a new school uniform. Yeah?”

“Okay.”

“But we need to get some sleep to do that,” he said. “Otherwise we’ll be too sleepy. So try and get some sleep now, baby.”

“Okay,” she said.

Finally, with Harry gently caressing the top of her head and softly soothing her into her dreams, she fell back into unconsciousness, and Harry, relieved, copied.

“Daddy, look!”

Maisie let go of his hand to run over to the toys, pointing to a cuddly Mickey Mouse sat on the shelf.

“May,” he said warningly, hurrying after her. He was wearing a cap and sunglasses in an attempt to disguise his identity, and he didn’t want to attract any unnecessary attention by having a child running around in the supermarket. He followed her and took her hand again as she examined the cuddly toy.

“Isn’t he great?” she said, beaming up at him.

“You can put it on your Christmas list, maybe Santa will get it for you,” he said, grinning.

She pouted.

“Don’t look at me like that,” he said, winking at her. She giggled. He and Maisie had always had a playful father-daughter relationship. She liked to tease him, and mock him, and so he returned it. She found it hilarious. “Do you want some sweets?”

“Yeah!” she said, immediately forgetting about Mickey and running off in the other direction.

“Maisie,” he said instantly, and she froze. “I told you, don’t run off. Hold my hand.”

She reluctantly slipped her fingers back through his, but she basically dragged him to sweetie aisle, where she then spent ages picking between Haribo Starmix or Haribo Tangfastics. Harry grinned.

“Well, how about we get Starmix for you and Tangfastics for me?” he said, raising an eyebrow.

“Yeah!”

“But I have to have some too,” he said. ‘They’re not all for you, okay?”

“Maybe,” she said cheekily, then giggled at the outraged expression on his face.

“You little-“ he began, then started tickling her - although she instantly screeched hysterically, and he stopped. “Shh! I told you, we need to be quiet in case someone spots Daddy.”

“Sorry,” she said, taking his hand once more and quietly skipping along as they moved to the next aisle. Harry was looking at health drinks when his phone started ringing.

“Who’s that, Daddy?” Maisie asked, as he balanced the basket on the crook of his arm and frowned at the screen.

“It’s just Edward,” he said. “Wait here, May,” he added, as she made to wander off, then he answered the call. “Hello?”

“Harry?”

“Who else?”

“Is Maisie with you?”

“Yeah, we’re in Tesco’s right now.”

“Okay, when you get home we need to talk.”

“Um…okay? I’ll have to bring Maisie though-”

“No, it’s okay, I’ve spoken to William. He’s going to go round yours and sit with her while you’re gone.”

“You told William?”

“To be honest, Harry, I expected him to already know.”

William was the only other person in the world, aside from Edward, Eve’s family and a handful of Eve’s friends, who knew that Maisie was Harry’s daughter. William had never met her, though, so Harry’s first thought was how Maisie would react to being left with a strange man, regardless of whether he was her uncle or not.

“Okay Maisie,” Harry said, once they’d arrived home and had put the shopping away. “I need to go and speak to Edward now.”

“Can’t you speak to him on the tellyphone?”

“I can’t, he wants to see me in person. So my brother’s going to come and look after you. Uncle William, remember me talking about him?”

She hesitated, then nodded. “I fink so.”

“Good, well he’s going to come and sit with you for a bit while I’m gone, is that okay? Will you be okay with that?”

Maisie shrugged, then nodded. “Okay.”

“Thanks, darling,” he said, kissing the top of her head. “I just need to wait for him to arrive, and then I’ll go round and see Edward.”

“Edward’s scary,” Maisie said.

“Edward?’ Harry said, frowning.

Her ginger head bobbed in a nod. “Yeah, he looks really mean.”

“Nah, Ed’s nice,” he answered, turning the TV on for her. “But I guess he can be a bit strict. He can get angry sometimes.” He trailed off, then made a face, making her giggle. “Don’t be scared of Edward, he’ll be nice to you.”

There was a knock on the door. Harry hurried to answer it.

“Hi,” William said, raising an eyebrow.

“I wanted to tell you that she was coming to live with me,” he replied in a rush. “But I didn’t have a chance-”

“Don’t worry about it,” William said, grinning. “I’m just happy for you. I mean-“ His smile disappeared. “-the whole thing is terrible. Edward was telling me earlier.”

“Do you know what he wants to talk to me about?” Harry asked, as they made their way through the apartment.

“No clue,” William said, and then they stepped into the living room.

“Maisie, come here,” Harry said tentatively, and as the little girl clambered off the sofa, he added, “This is Uncle William.”

He watched William’s reaction - of course, he’d seen pictures of her before, so he wasn’t surprised by how much she looked like Harry, but he was shocked by how pretty she was. She was a very pretty little girl, she would be envied for her hair when she got a bit older, and she was very cute. Her eyes were very big and very blue, and they were also very wide as she peered up at William shyly, moving towards Harry to reach for his hand.

“Hey Maisie,” William said, crouching down so he was on her eye-level. He held out a hand. “I’m your Uncle William.”

She hesitated, then shook his hand. “Hello,” she said, in her lisp.

“I’m glad to finally meet you,” William said gently, smiling at her. “Your daddy’s told me lots about you. He said that you’re very pretty, but that sometimes you’re a bit naughty.”

He said it to make her laugh - she smiled sheepishly, and he chuckled.

“Just a bit naughty?” Harry quoted, grinning. “She’s the worst.” He winked down at her, and Maisie giggled lightly. “Okay, you alright if I go now, Maisie?”

She nodded once. “Bye Daddy.”

He bent over and kissed the top of her head. “See you in a minute, baby.”

Harry had no worries about leaving Maisie with William - he knew his brother would do everything to make her laugh and make her comfortable. That left all the space in his head to be concerned about Edward, and what his secretary had to say to him.

Edward was sat at his desk in his office, and he looked up as Harry entered.

“What’s up?” Harry asked. “What’s so important?”

“We need to talk.”

Harry collapsed into the chair opposite him and raised an eyebrow, then laughed. “Seriously? Every time someone has said that to me, the conversation that followed did not end well.”

Edward laughed too. “I know, don’t worry, you’re not in trouble. We just need to discuss things.”

“About Maisie?”

“Mm-hmm.”

“Hit me.”

Edward hesitated for a few moments, appearing to consider his words, then said, “You need to tell your family.”

Harry sighed; he’d been repressing those thoughts, just trying to enjoy his time with Maisie. “I know.”

“It needs to be soon,” Edward added. “How long do you think Maisie can live here, with you dropping her off at school every day, before the press start to catch wind?”

“I know,” he admitted, biting his lip.

“And your family must know before the press do,” he said.

“Yeah,” Harry said, then ran a hand over his face. “I truly don’t even know how to tell them. They’re not going to be happy.”

“I don’t know, sir,” Edward said. “All they need to do is spend five minutes with Maisie and she’ll wipe away all their doubt and ill-feeling. You know that.”

Harry was biting his thumbnail. He nodded absently. He hadn’t wanted to think about any of this yet, he was still trying to get used to having Maisie with him.

Meanwhile, back in the apartment, Maisie and William were sat on the sofa. Maisie was very shy now that Harry had gone, and so William tried to talk to her to get to know more about the little girl who was his niece.

“So Maisie,” he said, then looked at the TV screen. “You like Spongebob?”

Maisie nodded. “I like Squidward. He’s funny.”

“Squidward? The grumpy one with the big nose?”

She giggled, a high-pitched, musical sound. “Yeah.”

“Has Daddy told you about me?” William asked gently, curious.

“He said you’re his brother,” she said, still watching the TV.

“I am, I have two little kids of my own, your cousins,” he said, then pulled his phone out of his pocket. “This is George, he’s just a little younger than you, he’s three, and this is Charlotte.” He flicked through the pictures of them, smiling. “Oh, that’s my wife, Kate.”

“The princess!” Maisie cooed, looking delighted.

“You recognise her, huh?”

“Mummy said she was a real princess,” she said.

William watched her for a while. “Maisie, do you know who your Daddy is?”

“Mummy said he was a very important, famous person,” she explained, with a lisp. “He’s a prince of wales, so he’s only a prince when he’s in Wales.”

He laughed lightly. “Well, actually, Maisie, it’s probably best that you know. Daddy is actually a prince of the whole country. His grandmother - and my grandmother is the Queen.” He searched on Google – because it was quicker than trying to find one in his photos – for a picture of The Queen, and showed Maisie. “You know who this lady is?”

“The Queen,” Maisie said, throwing her arms up in delight at knowing who it was.

“Yeah, she’s mine and Daddy’s grandma,” he explained gently. “That means she’s your great-grandma.”

She stared at the screen for quite a while, then said, “Okay.”

He chuckled lightly. Maisie probably had no idea the importance of all this. “So my grandma is the Queen, and my daddy is going to be king one day. And then after my daddy, I’ll be king.”

“And then George?” Maisie asked curiously. He was impressed she’d remembered George’s name.

“Yeah, after me it’ll be George,” William said, grinning. “So you’re in a very important family, you know.”

Maisie turned back to SpongeBob, confused but too shy to ask him. William decided he’d probably told her too much to take everything in, so he sat back into the cushions and watched the show too.

“I love Patrick,” he said. “He’s just so funny.”

“He’s really silly,” Maisie agreed, with her lisp. William laughed, looking at her for a moment. She was so small, very tiny really, and very pretty with long auburn curls that fell over her shoulders. She looked like Harry, but at the same time she didn’t. She had some other features in there, features that must’ve been Eve’s. William wondered how Maisie was coping with losing her mum.

“Do you miss your Mummy?” William asked.

“Yes,” she said. “But Daddy said she was specially chosen to become one of the angels in Heaven.”

“Yeah, it’s a very special job,” he said gently. “My mummy was chosen too, mine and Harry’s.”

“Daddy told me,” Maisie said. “He said that your mummy was taken when you were nearly adults.”

“Yeah, we were both teenagers,” William said.

“Was your mummy a princess too?”

“She was,” he said, smiling. “She was the best kind of princess because all she wanted to do was help people, just like your Daddy does.”

Maisie was silent for a little while. “If Daddy’s a prince, do I need to curtsey to him?”

“Oh no, he’s only a prince to people who aren’t royalty,” William said, struggling to explain it in a way that would make her understand.

The sound of the front door opening sounded and Maisie jumped off the sofa, squealing in delight. “Daddy!” she cried, running out to greet him.

“Hey, May-May,”he said, scooping her into his arms and blowing raspberries on her cheek. Her giggles met William’s ears, and then Harry appeared in the doorway, Maisie sat on his hip. “Maisie, why don’t you go and choose a DVD to watch?” He placed her on her feet and she darted away. “How was it?”

“It was good, I was telling Maisie all about our family,” WIlliam said, then looked apprehensive. It only just occurred to him that maybe Harry was planning to do that. But Harry looked relieved.

“Thanks, I forgot I need to do that,” he said, then ran a hand over his beard and sighed. “Shit, William, there’s so much to do.”

“I guess Edward wanted to talk about a lot, huh?”

“I need to tell all the family, and quickly, because we’ll need to announce something before the press can figure out who she is. And I have no idea how the family are going to take it. I can hardly just phone them up and go ‘oh, by the way, Pa, I’ve had a daughter for the last four years’, can I?”

“Well, I’ll help you out as much as you can,” William said, then smiled. “I’ll look after her whenever you need me to. Me and Kate.”

“Have you told Kate?”

“I haven’t, can I?” He looked unsure. “I wasn’t sure whether it was still a secret from everyone.”

“Go ahead, that’s one less person I need to tell,” he said, sighing.

“Just get these next few weeks out of the way, of course it’s going to be tough,” William said, patting his shoulder. “But then you’ve got her forever now. Think of all the fun you two can have once everything is sorted out.”

Harry half-smiled at that. “You’re right. Thanks, William.”

“Don’t worry about it,” he said. “Anyway, I’ll leave you two to it. Maybe you both could come over tomorrow for dinner? It’ll let us introduce Maisie to Kate and the kids.”

“Sure,” Harry said, sparing him a smile as his brother left the apartment. Maisie returned then, the Disney film Tangled clutched in her left hand, her cuddly Rapunzel doll in her right.

“Daddy, can we watch this?!” she asked excitedly, holding it up in the air.

“Only if we duet all the songs,” he said playfully, racing her over to the sofa. “I’ll be Eugene!”

She giggled delightedly. “And you need to be Pascal,” she cried. “Do the funny tongue thing!”

Harry laughed once, moving his face very close to hers and poking his tongue out quickly like a chameleon. She dissolved into giggles, making him chuckle.

As the film started, he pulled her onto his lap and cuddled her close, wishing that everything could just be sorted so that he could enjoy his new life with his daughter without the rest of his life getting in the way.
