Chapter 32 - A New Chapter

Cheryl's POV

The hospital let me go after a few more hours; requesting me to stay so they could make sure I was all better. And I did feel better—a whole lot better. Now that I have Darcy outside of my stomach, I feel so free, and it was a great feeling.

My doctor asked me about my recalls from before I passed out, and I couldn't remember much. It was all a blur, but I do remember the intense, radiating pain that exploded inside of my lower region. I could remember when the doctors were freaking out from all the blood that was pouring out of me, and then I blacked out. To me, it felt like I was out for only three hours, but apparently it had been a while.

I could hear everything Harry said to me, and it made me want to hug him so tightly, but all I could do was lay there; motionless; frozen. It was like I had been kidnapped from the present time—unable to interact with any of my surroundings, and I hated it. I wanted to hold him in my arms and tell him that everything was going to be okay, but I couldn't. However, it's in the past now, and what matters was that I had the most precious new born baby girl with the most sweetest person in the history of all people. I had the most happiest life, and I wasn't going to change it for all the money in the world.

Currently, I was in the passenger's seat with Darcy fast asleep in my arms. I had been gently rocking her the whole ride from the hospital.

From the corner of my eye, I could see Harry occasionally glance from the road to me with a strange look in his eye—a look I had only seen a couple times. His hand crawled it's way toward my thigh and brushed up against it nimbly. I shivered from his warm, comforting touch since I hadn't felt it in a while, and I was just getting used to things again.

"Where are we going, Harry?" I questioned, staring into his eyes.

"Home." He flashed me a cheeky grin and massaged my leg with his thumb. Either he was leading me onto something or he was just giving me affection, but I couldn't tell.

I smiled back transporting my attention from Harry to Darcy, "You take after your daddy, you know that?" I whispered to her as Harry gazed at me with a smirk. "You got all your beauty from him."

"Now I wouldn't say all of it," He winked at me flirtatiously, forcing my cheeks to burn with a bright red colour.

Darcy's little green eyes fluttered open as if she had heard me. To me she looked like she was smiling, but maybe I was imagining it. I shrugged to myself and decided to watch the road ahead of us. Turns out, we were already at our new house.

"The boys said that they had a surprise for us," Harry mentioned before turning off the car. I eyed him, getting an idea of what the surprise was. "You ready?"

I nodded, "Way passed ready."

Harry stepped out and strolled to my side to help me and Darcy out of the car. He took Darcy from me and held out his hand to help me down, and I took it gratefully. He was such a gentleman—one of the qualities I adored about him. "Thank you, my kind sir."

He chuckled and shut the car door for me, letting me wander onto the porch of our new house. He followed me close behind, but before I could turn the knob to venture inside, he snatched my hand and stopped me, "Thank you, my kind ma'am." He leaned in and planted a lustful kiss of passion into my lips; which never got old.

"Let's go in," He beamed once we parted, and right on in we went.

The first floor was the same, probably because all of the furniture downstairs came with the house. So I waltzed upstairs where I found picture frames of me and Harry on the walls. I continued on and went into our master bedroom, and I was flabbergasted.

Instead of Harry's old bed from the other flat, there was a brand new, designer bed along with a designer mirror, designer dressers, and designer end tables. There was also a brand new HD fifty-inch flat screen television with a note taped onto it. "Look," I pointed to it and picked it up. Without unfolding it, I handed it to Harry for him to read it; mostly because I thought it was going to be for him.

He read aloud,

Harry and Cheryl—This is were all the magic is going to happen in your relationship (hopefully). We all wanted to do a very great thing for you because Darcy's birth was a bit unexpected and unprepared. We knew that you didn't have all the baby-care essentials, so we took the time to get everything ready for this day. You have everything for baby Darcy, and you have everything for yourselves. We all hope you enjoy this!

Forever,

Your brothers and brothers-in-law

P.S. (Harry) If you ever want to have some fun with Cheryl, bring Darcy on over. We'd be overly joyful to babysit her. xx

I giggled and let my happiness get the best of me. I jogged my way into Darcy's soon-to-be room and saw that everything was indeed all set up—ready to be used. I gasped and examined all the things they'd gotten her. It ranged from a rocking chair, to a rattle, to a high-chair, to a crib. Everything was perfect.

"Harry," I gasped again, tears of joy rushing to my eyes as I watched him set Darcy down in her crib. It was way past her bedtime anyway.

"I know," He nodded and wrapped his warm, muscular arms around me. "Things can't get any better."

"I love you," I whispered into his ear as we held each other for a good while.

"I love you," He whispered back with emphasis on the "you," making me smile.

It really couldn't get any better than this. A new chapter with the love of my life and a new edition to my family. Everything was absolutely perfect. And I just hoped this new chapter would stay that way.
