P.S. Halley is 1 1/2 years old (18 months)

-Taylor-

I hear a shriek and a giggle and I set the basket of laundry onto the washing machine and go into the living room to see what all the screaming is about.

I smile as I see Louis lying on his back the floor, his feet on Halley's chest and him holding her hands as he lifts her off the ground. She holds her legs back and shrieks again and I laugh.

Louis brings her down and sits up, pulling her small body into his chest. He cradles her and she sits in his lap. I walk over to the two and sit down on the floor next to them.

"Dada," she coos, burying her face in his chest. He looks at me and I smile at them. "You are so good with her," I say and I see him blush a little bit.

"You are too," he says and I smile. I hold out my arms as I scoot back a little and Louis sets Halley down, with her feet on the floor.

"Can you walk to Mommy?" Louis coos to her and she moves one of her little legs in a wobbly step towards me. "Mommy!" She shrieks and holds her arms out to me as she takes another step.

I laugh and hold my arms out to her and she takes a few more steps before making it to my hands. I grip her hands and pull her towards me. I laugh and hug her to my chest and she giggles.

I pull away and smile at her. "Kisses?" I ask and she smiles at me before leaning and putting her lips onto mine. "Mwah!" I exaggerate and she pulls away from me giggling. I pick her up and stand up in one motion.

"Can daddy have a kiss too?" Louis asks, walking over to us two. Halley places her two hands on Louis' cheek and leans her lips onto his mouth. He laughs and she pulls away, curling into my chest.

"I want a kiss from Mommy too," Louis says and I roll my eyes at him. He wraps an arm around m waist and presses his lips onto mine. I feel a small hand on my cheek and open my eyes as Louis and I both pull away.

I see Halley has one hand on my cheek and the other on Louis' and she is laughing as she tries to poke her head in between us two.

I laugh and Louis pokes Halley's cheek. "You little munchkin!" Louis says and she shrieks and laughs again.

Louis reaches under her arms and takes her into his own arms and I fix my shirt once she is out of my arms.

My phone buzzes and I take it out of my pocket.

Harry:

Heyyy, call me?

I quickly click the call button and hold my phone to my ear. Louis looks at me confused but I just hold up a finger to him, to signal that I will tell him in a minute.

Harry's voice slowly flows in through my phone.

"Your hubby doesn't answer his phone," he says and I laugh. "Hello to you too," I saw and he sighs. "Sorry, but I've texted him like 10 times and I called him and he still didn't pick up," Harry says.

"He was playing with Halley, and I was doing laundry, sorry. What did you need?" I ask him. "You guys want to come over and hang out for a little bit? Bring Halley, Payton is lonesome," Harry says and I laugh.

Payton is Harry and Jess' son. Harry and Jess got married almost right after Louis and I did, and they basically got married right after Harry proposed. They both claimed they couldn't wait much longer. They got to work quickly and 9 months later, Payton shows up. Payton is 3 months younger than Halley, but they are the same age for most of the year.

"Okay, I'll ask Louis," I say and cover the speaker as I turn to Louis. "Wanna go over to Harry and Jess'?" I ask him and he nods, spinning Halley around in a circle again.

"Okay, we'll be there in a bit. Leave the door unlocked," I say and we say goodbye before I hang up.

"C'mon, we gotta get dressed and head over to Harry's. He is complaining that Payton is lonely," I tell Louis and he laughs. "Of course," he says and I follow Louis and Halley upstairs.

"You're going to dress her?" I ask him and he nods excitedly. I roll my eyes. "Please choose something that matches this time," I say and Louis nods. "I'm master at fashion. I got this," Louis says and I sigh, remembering all the times Louis has dressed Halley. And every time ending horribly.

Nevertheless, I go into mine and Louis' room and slip on some shorts and a shirt. I leave my hair down and I slip on shoes before going into Halley's room.

Louis is just finishing brushing her hair and putting it into two ponytails. I look over her outfit to see he put her in jeans and a shirt that says 'I love my daddy the best'. He put some sparkly boots on her and I smile.

"Congrats! You dressed her properly!" I say, mocking surprise. Louis rolls his eyes and hands her to me.

"I know, I'm amazing. I'm going to go get dressed. You gonna head out to the car?" He asks and I nod.

I grab Halley's baby bag, making sure we have enough stuff, before I take her downstairs. I grab the keys and go outside and open up the car.

I place her in her carseat and buckle her in. I play with her in her seat until I see Louis come out the front door and lock it.

He gets in the car and I shut the door for Halley and get into my seat next to Louis.

He starts the car and I turn on the radio. I hear Halley's soft talking to herself, well more like blabbing, since she doesn't use a lot of words yet, and I smile and sing along to the radio.

We make it to Harry's house and I grab the baby bag, whilst Louis grabs Halley. I smile at him and he smiles back as he sets her on the floor and takes her hand, walking with her up the walkway to Harry's house.

I jiggle the handle and open it when I know it's unlocked. We walk in and I hear Harry call out. "Louis! Taylor!"

He comes into view and his eyes immediately move to Halley. "Look at you! Standing with daddy!" He coos and walks over to her, lifting her up over his head and then back down onto his hip.

"How is my favorite little goddaughter?" He coos to her and she claps her hands as she laughs. "Hawwy!" She yells and grabs his finger in her small hand. He smiles at her and then turns to the two of us.

"Oh, you're here too, come on in," he says and I laugh. "Dork," Louis says and Harry smiles. "That's me," he says and we go inside.
