Proving Our Love

Chapter 104- The Proposal

* Harry's POV *
The minute I woke up was the minute my heart started to beat out of my chest. That was the minute I started playing with my bottom lip like I always did due to the unsettling nerves that was contained within me about the future events that would be occurring today. And that was the minute I looked down and saw my beautiful Issy sleeping soundly across my torso, causing a smile to form across my lips, myself now looking over at the clock that was located on the bed side table to the left of me, displaying that it was 9:00 am.

I then looked over at the crib that was right next to the bed, smiling even wider as I saw Katie playing with the little stuffed animal she had in her crib, looking like she just woke up.

I slowly got out of bed, carefully placing Iss on my pillow that I was previously laying on, pulling the covers over her, before making my way to Katie.

" Hey baby good morning" I softly whispered, now gently picking her up in my arms, smiling as she rested her head on my shoulder while I started walking out of the room with her.

" Daddy is so nervous honey you have no idea, how was your sleep?", I asked her, kissing her cheek as I made my way down stairs with her, placing her on her little chair that looked like her carrier, except this one was occupying her with hanging stuffed animals to occupy her as I was going to begin cooking in the kitchen.

" Please please please let there be milk in this fridge", I said, thanking God as I saw there were extra bottles of milk for Katie. I know Issy would do it but I wasn't sure what time she would wake up and it was time for Katie's feeding.

" Daddy's warming up your milk now honey okay?", I said to her as I set the timer on the microwave. Now cutting up some bananas and strawberries that I was preparing to put in the fruit salad I was gonna make for Issy and I's breakfast. As well as chocolate chip and blueberry pankcakes, with bacon, scrambled eggs, and toast her favorite.

" Okay this is a good temperature", I said to myself, squirting a little bit of the milk onto my hand to make sure it was a good warmth, now walking back over to the couch, picking Katie up.

" You hungry sweetie huh?", I said, cradling her in my arms, smiling as her mouth found the tip of the nosle from the bottle, now beginning to drink from it.

When I saw she was comfortable with where I was holding the bottle, I rested my head against the couch, rehearsing over and over again my proposal speech for Iss.

As I looked down at her, her glistening hazely green eyes continuing to keep my gaze as she drank from her bottle made my heart flutter everytime. But this time, I thought about how she got here, the night we conceived her, and the moments before leading up to it. And now we are the happiest we've ever been and blessed with a beautiful healthy daughter.

" I love you so much Katie", I whispered, leaving a kiss on top of her forehead, chuckling lightly as she pushed her hand against my foreheard.

" Stop that I know you like daddy's kisses", I teased her, taking the bottle out of her mouth since I knew she was done, smiling as she tried prying my mouth open when I sat her up on my lap with her tiny fingers.

I then brought her play pen into the kitchen so I could keep an eye on her, smiling as she started playing with her stuffed elephant that she had in there while I finished up cooking breakfast.

***************

I had just turned off the stove, now garnishing the finishing touches on Issy and I's breakfast when I heard her walking down the stairs.

" Harryyyy, Katieee you two down here?", she asked as she made her way down.

" Yes now do not come in the kitchen and get back in bed", I said, not wanting her to ruin her own surprise of seeing her anniversary breakfast before I brought it up to her.
