A Year to Remember (BOOK 2)

Were home

The little family made the trip back home and they were exhausted. Darcy was asleep when they walked into their home but as soon as the couple sat down she started crying. "Aw, what's wrong? Are you hungry? Need a change?" Y/n scooped her up and took her into the bathroom. "Maybe a bath would help the girl. Would it?" Darcy smiled and yawned at Y/n and snuggled to her in her arms. Y/n undressed her and started the water with Darcy's favorite bubbles. "Tomorrow is some little girls birthday. Do you know who it is?" Darcy gave a two tooth smile and pointed to herself. "That's right! You're gonna be a whole year old! You're an old lady. Where's the grey hair?" Darcy splashed around in the water and bubbles when Harry walked in to bring in Darcy's new clothes and diaper. "What are we talking about in here?" Y/n continued to wash Darcy while answering Harry. "I was just telling our little old lady that she has a birthday tomorrow." Harry smiled and leaned against the bathroom counter. "Yeah she gonna put us into a care home by this time next year. Have to wear those face masks and everything. Did I ever tell you the time Niall had the NERVE to ask for one of mine one time?" Y/n smiled and rolled her eyes, picking Darcy up after dressing her. "No because you would have talked about it for weeks. And don't start now." Harry's jaw dropped and followed Y/n out of the bathroom and into Darcy's room. "Y/n those were mine and he wanted one!" Y/n put Darcy down and went over to Harry grabbing his face. "And you can afford a billion more. You sexy man." Y/n started to walk away with a monitor so she can watch Darcy and Harry grabbed her waist. "Oh no don't think you can get away with calling me that and walking away." Y/n looked into Harry's eyes and squinted. "You won't do anything. Plus we have to get ready for Darcy's birthday tomorrow. I was thinking I don't want a party. Something non traditional like just us out shopping and having dinner somewhere just us. Is that selfish?" Harry shook his head no at Y/n. "No but Gemma is in town and wants to see us. . Mum and her have gifts for her. We can stop by there too." Y/n smiled at that thought. "Wonderful I haven't seen Gemma in ages. We better be prepared we won't see Darcy the whole day if Gemma is there." Harry followed Y/n into the kitchen closely and grabbed her, picking her up and sitting her on the counter. "This seems to be a familiar meeting spot." Harry kissed her, dragging her hips toward his torso. "Next month. Next month I want to try for another baby. I gave it a lot of thought. I want Darcy to have someone to play with and be close in age. Would you want to try again?" Y/n was taken aback. She hugged Harry and he grabbed her, putting her legs around his waist. "I'm going to take that as a yes." Y/n hugged him even tighter, and he did the same. He rubbed her back and didn't want to let go. "I love you." Y/n finally released and looked at Harry, still in his arms. "I love you too. I'm so excited to try again but so much is coming. Album this week pretty well, the performance of the album and so much more."

THE NEXT DAY

Y/n woke up to a rainy day. Usually she hates rain but that day it was kinda nice. She didn't hear Darcy so she looked over and Harry was gone. She knew exactly where he was. She got up and walked to Darcy's room and spotted the cutest thing she's ever seen. Harry was holding Darcy in his arms and talking to her while she was asleep. He didn't know she was there so she listened. "Happy birthday, Darcy. My sweet girl. You and mommy saved my life and without you I don't know where I'd be. One today and sixteen tomorrow." Y/n heard enough and walked in and Harry looked up, smiling. "How long has you been there?" Y/n smiled and leaned against the doorway. "Long enough to almost start crying. I can't believe she's one." Harry got up slowly and put the baby back in her crib. Surprisingly she stayed asleep, and she wasn't phased. Harry and Y/n walked out headed back to their bed. "I know, I didn't think she would ever get to be one. I wish she could stay little forever." The couple got under the covers and grabbed onto each other, cuddling. "Yeah me too. I'm excited to see her personality show through more. She reminds me a lot of you, Harry. Happy, smiling all the time and loving. What made me fall in love with you. Well...that and being in a famous band." Harry scoffed playfully and hugged Y/n tighter, rubbing her arm. "Good one, Y/n. Really appreciate it. I told mum and Gemma we'd be over around two. Would that work?" Y/n shook her head. "That should be fine. Do you know what they got her? Like at all? Do we need to bring a truck?" Harry shook his head no at her. "I have no idea and I hope the hell not. We will need a bigger house. If we have another baby we might need one anyway. Now let's go back to bed for a little bit." Y/n didn't answer and cuddled up to Harry as close as she could get. The day was going to be fun, and all about Darcy. She couldn't wait to see her face when she opens gifts and apparently Anne has a little cake for Darcy to play with. She couldn't wait to get to see what all she got today.
