"Why are you such a grump today?" Shay asked.

She held Haley as she stood on the side of the boat. They were both looking out at the view.

Harry was leaning against the roof. Both arms crossed as his chin rested against them. He had his aviator sunglasses over his eyes. He turned towards his wife and child to reply.

"Just tired." He reply shortly.

Shay frowned slightly, then gave him a sympathetic look.

"Sorry. I know all this reunion stuff is pretty full on." She mumbled back.

"Why are you apologising? It's nothing you did love." Harry chuckled lightly.

"I know, I just, oh I don't know. I hate when you're not okay. I always wanna take it away from you."

Harry smiled to himself and then made his way over to where they stood. He wrapped his arms around Shay's stomach, while she held onto Haley still.

"Thank you." He planted a kiss on top of Shay's head.

"You know that works both ways. It kills me when I know you're not okay too." He continued.

"We must be fools." Shay chuckled.

"Fools in luuuurve." Harry annunciated the word love as he rested his chin against Shay's head.

Shay let out a giggle causing Harry to laugh as well.

Harry spoke again.

"I like being here. Every time we're here I feel even closer to you. You spent so much of your life here."

"I mean not as long as I did in the Midlands but yeah I guess I did. I do love it here in the South." Shay beamed.

"Mama! Dada! Look! Boat!" Haley shouted excitedly. Her little hand gestures towards the big boat that had docked.

Shay and Harry both looked to where she pointing.

"Good job Haley Pally!" Harry laughed.

"That's where we're going bub. Gonna go explore yeah?" Shay spoke into Haley's ear.

"Yes peas!" Haley replied. Once again Harry burst into laughter as well as Shay.

"It's please Haley. P-l-e-a-s-e." Shay tried to correct the little one through her laughter.

Haley looked confused for a second.

"Peas?" She spoke again.

Shay turned to Harry with the biggest smile on her face. She was met with the same look on his.

"Peas it is! Which is good because I love peas." Harry exclaimed.

"Woah no way! Me too!" Shay replied sassily as if she didn't know that fact. She gathered their things and started to make her way to the front of the boat. They'd be docking soon.
