The Other Teasdale

Ten

Riley POV

"You sure you want to sleep with him?" Lou asked, hesitantly. "We can get a cot and-" 

"That is offensive" Harry murmured. 

"First of all, I'm not sleeping on a cot." I started off. "Second of all, I live with Harry, we sleep together.. in the same bed, all the time!" 

"Yeah, I know, but you're just so young and I don't want you-" 

"Lou, me and Harry-" 

"Harry and I" I rolled my eyes. 

"Harry and I are sharing a room. Ok?" I said, not really asking for her input. She sighed and nodded her head slowly. 

"Ok, the baby is growing up. I get it" She added. I nodded and kissed her cheek before following Harry into our room. 

"God, why is she being so over protected?" I groaned. 

"Because you're the baby of the family" Harry pointed out, placing his suitcase on the bed, ready to unpack. 

There was a knock on the door, I opened it to see my sister and niece once again. 

"Mind watching her?" Lou asked with a guilty smile. 

"Yeah. Hey Luxy, baby" I said, taking her from my sisters arm. 

"Tom and I are just going to lunch. We'll be back later" She said before closing the door. 

"It's a girl" I squealed, walking back over to Harry. 

"Luxy!" He said, taking her from my arms and bouncing her up and down. 

"You're so good with her" I breathed out, stating the obvious as I made myself comfortable on our king size bed. 

"We are just the best of friends, right Lux?" Harry said, making the baby giggle. 

"Hallllyyyyyyy" She squealed, flicking his curls. 

"Ok, ok. Enough with the hair. Only Aunt Riley can do that" He said, lightly throwing her on the bed. 

"Be careful!" I hissed, pulling her towards me. 

We, meaning Harry and I, spent a long while fiddeling with each others fingers, the silence enjulfing the room. A small hiccup left Lux and I giggled, kissing her forehead. I looked over at the clock and read 2:34. 

"She should take a nap now" I stated. I looked up at Harry to see him looking straightforward, taking much interest at the light blue wall. He obviously felt my stare as his gaze met mine. 

"Huh?" 

"Lux, nap time" I said. 

"Yeah, ok" He said, kissing my forehead. 

"You should sing to her" I suggested. 

"You just want to hear me sing, don't you?" He cheekily asked. 

"Of course." I said, rolling my eyes. I scooted into Harry's arms and put Lux on Harry's rising and falling stomach. He rubbed her back with a single finger. 

"What song should I sing?" He whispered into my hair, placing numerous kisses on the top of my head. 

"Mmmmm Little Things" I said. 

"Really?" He groaned. "I get enough of that on tour" 

"Sing on, babe" I said turning my body so I could look up at him. The room got silent as we stared at each other for a while. 

"Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me" He started, entertwining  our fingers and rubbing the top of my hand with his thumb. He let the song bleed out of his mouth, making the whole room calm and pure. It took a verse for the faintest snores to leave Lux's mouth. Harry concluded the song and, again, we were left in a comfortable silence, that was until my stomach growled.. Rather loudly.
