It's The Little Things

I've used this song before but the modern version.
I just love it and it fits this chapter so I'm using it again.

After the first scan, Shay and Harry felt as though they could relax a little. Everything was going smoothly so far and there was nothing untoward about anything. Because of this, they decided to tell their families and friends.

Everyone was over the moon and giddy with excitement. Especially Haley. She went around telling anyone who was willing to hear, even strangers in the supermarket. She was definitely Harry's child, so charismatic and willing to talk with anyone.

Despite Heather and Niall's excitement, they'd decided against any baby showers down the line. They wanted everything to be stress free, no worrying or overexerting themselves.

"So what'd you think Haley? Girl or boy?" Harry asked the little one.

"Hmmm..." Haley mumbled. Harry could almost see the cogs turning in her brain as she thought of an answer. She sat on top of his stomach, her legs on either side of him.

"Girl!" Haley exclaimed.

"A girl huh? There'd be two Haley's running around then!" Harry continued to chat to his daughter.

"No daddy." Haley blurred out.

"No?" Harry quirked an eyebrow.

"There'd be one Haley and one baby." Haley waved a finger in Harry's face. Signalling that he was wrong.

"You're right. How silly of me. When did you get so clever then ay?" He reached over and tickled her. Haley's beautiful giggles fell from her mouth.

"Just am." She replied bluntly.

Harry let a big laugh fall from his own mouth now. The sass on this girl was going to kill him off one day.

"You are too sassy for words missy!" He cried before wrapping both his arms around her and smushing her into his chest. Cuddling her close.

"My little Haley Pally not so little anymore." He mumbled into her hair.

"It scares me how big she's getting." Shay chimed in from the doorway.

She'd been watching the whole interaction. Her heart beating so fast, it felt like it was coming out of her chest. There were no words to describe what, witnessing all of this, felt like. And they were about to experience it all over again.

Harry noticed Shay had gone into her head. A dopey smile on his face.

"Where'd you go Pea?" He asked.

"Sorry what?" Shay babbled. Realising Harry was now taking to her.

Harry chuckled before asking again.

"I said... where'd you go Pea? Anywhere nice?"

"Hmm... yeah it was pretty good. Much better being here though with my two favourite people in the world." Shay grinned as she walked into the room. She got over to the couch and moved Harry's legs so that she could sit down.

Haley clambered back down and moved over to Shay. Crawling onto her lap and placing both hands on her belly.

"Three mummy. There's three people." She cooed. Both Harry and Shay looked at each other with watery eyes and proud looks.

"That's right bubs! Three! You really are a clever clogs!" Shay cried, doing as Harry had done and snuggling her close.

"Stop growing please. Need you to stay little forever!" She continued. Mumbling her words in between kissing Haley's head.
