TWO WEEKS LATER

Y/n was still quiet after her miscarriage. She was getting better but it's still hit hard. It seemed like she shut a lot of things off and became distant. Harry was recording today, mostly doing some mix up stuff and doing his finishing touches since it came out within a a week or two. He made sure to be home at a decent time to help Y/n. Darcy's first birthday was in three weeks and neither Y/n nor Harry knew what to do. Y/n didn't leave the bed a lot, which made it harder for her to be with Darcy. Harry got home around seven that evening, tired from finishing up his part of the album. "Y/n? Where are you?" He heard the shower going and went to look for Darcy. He couldn't find her so he checked in the shower. She  was holding Darcy and taking a shower with her. "What are you doing, baby?" Y/n had Darcy in her arms and turned around. "I...thought she needed some mommy time so I decided to take a shower with her. She's asleep. I've missed her." Y/n stepped out with Darcy, out a towel on and woke her up to put her clothes on. "Okay, big girl. Are you ready for bed?" Darcy started crying but let Y/n put her pajamas on her. She tried to get her to lay down but Darcy wanted Y/n. She brought her in the bedroom and laid her on the bed so she could get dressed herself. Harry sat on the bed and played with Darcy. "Did you have a shower? Was it nice?" Darcy played with Harry's fingers when Y/n came in. She reached out for Darcy and she went to her. Y/n started to rock her while her and Harry sat in silence. She broke the silence first. "I'm sorry." Harry was on his phone and looked up, putting his phone away. "What are you sorry for?" Y/n sighed and looked at Darcy. "For being so distant and putting things off. We should have her first birthday planned and we don't even know a theme." Y/n started to cry and Harry's heart broke. Before he could touch her she got up and took Darcy to her crib. When Y/n turned around from putting her down there was Harry. He opened his arms and Y/n almost knocked him over with her hug. He put his hand in her hair, hugging her. "Are you okay?" Y/n didn't let go of Harry, fearing he would let go himself. "I'm getting there. I'm sorry I've been acting this way. I just feel like I let you down." Harry picked Y/n up bridal style and carried her to their bedroom and laid her on the bed. He came up next to her and looked her in the face. "You never let me down. Let's focus on the future and leave it in the past, okay? And as for Darcy's birthday we don't have to have anything big. Maybe just close family including the boys if you want." Y/n agreed and just cuddled up to Harry. "Hey, how about we do something for a few days? Get out of the house. We can go anywhere you want. What you say?" Y/n put her face in Harry's neck and thought about it. "Honestly that sounds nice. I need to get out of the house. I'd love to take Darcy to Disneyworld in Florida. ." Harry got on his phone while Y/n was still in his arms. "Hmmm birthday trip for Darcy? Just us three? Perfect." Harry continues to book everything himself and slowly Y/n got out of her funk. She released herself from Harry's arms and decided she wanted something to eat. She called a local restaurant and ordered, excited to eat. She started some dishes and working around the house. "Baby what on earth are you doing?" Y/n walked around Harry grabbing his hand. "Doing house work. I suddenly have a bit of energy. I realized laying with you that I need to do more and forget that bad stuff that happened to us. Key word...us. I didn't just lose our baby WE lost our baby. We both made them and we both suffered a loss." Harry picked Y/n up and hugged her. "I wanna try again. I want another baby with you." Harry was shocked with Y/n's comment. He didn't think she'd want to have another so quickly. "Are you sure? Maybe we should wait a few months, give your body time to heal." Y/n didn't want to wait but she knew Harry was right. Her body was still going through aftershock and wasn't ready for a baby yet. "You're right but I still want to try sometime in the future." Harry smiled and hugged Y/n again, kissing the top of her head. Y/n grabbed a quick snack while waiting for the food and went to lay with Harry.

THE NEXT DAY
Darcy was wobbling around the house playing with her toys in Y/n and Harry's room when Harry got a phone call. "Hello? Yeah. Okay, yeah that's great. Bye." Y/n's face told all, she was nosy. "Album comes out next week. Exciting, isn't it?" Y/n smiled and walked into her closet, Harry following. "It'll be nice to have some new song from you guys. I know Darcy loves them." Harry turned Y/n around, sensing something wrong. "What's going on? Are you okay?" Y/n tossed some of her clothes down and sighed. "Yes and no. I don't have any Disney clothes for us or Darcy. I don't have anything packed and we leave tomorrow." Harry laughed a little and Y/n hit his chest. "That's not funny. You know damn well I love to be organized and get packed early. Now come on, it's time for Darcy's lunch." Harry picked Darcy up but she didn't want to eat so she was upset she had to leave her toys. Harry put her in her high chair and she calmed down a little. "Can you feed her? I wanna go pack." Harry gave Y/n a playful side eye while she kissed his cheek. When Y/n came back from packing her eyes went wide. Darcy and Harry was a mess. Food all over her, Harry and the high chair. "What in the world?" Harry smiled and Darcy did too with the same dimply grin. "She started it." Harry took Darcy out of her chair and put her in a bath while Y/n cleaned up. She was excited about getting out and going to Disney. Harry and her needed to find themselves again as a couple and as parents. Disney was one of Y/n's favorite places. She went one time as a kid but she barely remembers it. Harry was excited too. But how will Darcy like it?
