HARRY'S POV:
*Play After rain by Dermont Kennedy*
Well, Oakley had decided to talk to her birth mom that just showed up on our door step.
But, when we arrived back home she was gone.
Nothing but a note stuck to the door with her number in it.
Oakley was upset, but told me she was okay and that it gives her more time to really make sure she wants this.
I'm happy about how far she's come. From the shy girl who would sike herself out, now to the girl who will do what she wants even if she's scared.
She's making her own decisions, and it makes me feel proud.
Mom and Gemma are getting in today. I'm getting ready to go pick them up.
Mom, Gemma and Oakley are going shopping for things I don't even want to know.
So, i'm left all by myself..
I asked Mitch to come over though. He whined about it but I convinced him, he'll be here around 3.
"Alright, I'm off" I peck Oakleys forehead, grabbing the keys and heading out the door.
The drive to L.A.X was short, but the traffic made it feel like hours.
I always hated the L.A traffic, but I loved the city to much that I just couldn't leave it.
"Theirs the little shit!" Gemma exclaims as she nears me.
"Hi to you to Gem" I laugh as I pull her and mom into a hug.
"Hey H. How's Oakley?" Mom asks as I take her and Gemmas bags, putting them into the truck of the car.
"She's good. Very excited to see you again" I say, opening the door of the passenger side so she can get in.
After Gemma gets in as well, I climb into the drivers side and start to make our way home.
OAKLEY'S POV:
Ive spent almost all day cleaning.
I don't know why, but I was.
I think i'm just nervous to see Anne and Gemma again. Or maybe i'm just coping with the new news that has surfaced.
What ever it is, at least the house is squeaky clean.
"Where's my beautiful sister-in-law?" I hear Gemma squeal.
I smile as soon as I hear her voice. I come from around the corner in the kitchen and outstretch my arms to her.
I engulf her in a tight hug and do the same for Anne.
"Let me see the ring" Gemma says. I show her my hand and she grabs onto it with side eyes.
Anne and Gemma both gawk at my hand, while I share a look with Harry.
"Can she have her arm back now?" Harry says, making me chuckle.
"That is one beautiful ring, H" Anne says, making Harry blush.
"It is a beautiful ring for a beautiful girl."
Now it's my turn for my cheeks to flush. I look down at my feet, hoping to bring up a different topic of conversation.
Luckily, Gemma picked up on that.
"Alright mom, let's go get settled in and then we can harass them some more" She says, making everyone chuckle.
They head up stairs with Harry following, helping with there luggage.

"So, what kind of wedding are you planning?" Gemma asks as we walk the halls of the mall.
"I don't know. I haven't really thought about it yet" I tell her honestly.
There is no rush. I don't need to be married right away. I could get married in an alleyway wearing a trash bag, and still be happy.
Because it's him.
"Well, if you want I can help you. I'm pretty good at event planning" she says.
"That would actually be awesome! I've been so busy with my website and getting paintings done and Harry's been busy with music. We haven't gotten around to even decided the date."
"Well I can surly help you with all of that. Just let me know" and the conversation about that ends there.
"So Anne, how are you're little fur babies?" I ask her, looking to my left.
"Oh, they're just fantastic. They love playing in my garden and just being outside" She smiles at the memory of them.
"Are you planning on getting more?" I ask, keeping up with her interests.
"Oh, I don't think so. Maybe in the future" She says,
I nod, continuing to walk the crowded mall hallways.
When we finally arrived home, Harry was alone watching something on the t.v.
"Hey girls, how was shopping?" He asks, turning the volume of the show off.
"It was good, got a whole bunch of stuff I definitely don't need" Gemma says, making me laugh.
"Yeah it was fun" I say, plopping down on the couch next to him.
The next few hours was just full of causal conversations while Harry and I shared knowing glances and small smiles at each other. Which Anne and Gemma caught on to and caused a whole scene, saying how cute we are and stuff.
I would just blush, laughing like I wasn't embarrassed while Harry would roll his eyes and tell them nicely to stop. They didn't stop, however. It didn't bother me but I know Harry was getting annoyed with them, which made it all the more funny.
I love moments like these.
