Epilogue (4/5) 

Audrey Styles  

(this takes place two years after the last chapter)

"Baby put that down!" Harry calls worriedly from the living room. 

I scoff, "Just because I'm seven months pregnant, doesn't mean I can't help decorate."

Harry pops up in front of me, a tiara crooked on the top of his head. 

"Audie, just sit down. This party is for you, that's why you can't help decorate." He grabs the faux marble figure from my hands. "Also you definitely should not be carrying shit like this babe." He raises an eyebrow at me in warning. 

I round the side of couch rubbing lovingly on my tummy. Watching as Clover toddles around the living room with a tiara on her head, adorably matching with Harry. 

When I agreed to let Alex host a gender reveal party for me I did not expect her to take it this seriously. Our whole house is covered in varying shades of pink and blue. The only thing I had asked was that the theme for this party was based on my favorite books. And at the top of this list of favorite books was Pride and Prejudice, meaning that our entryway and living room look just like Mr. Darcy's house. 

The kitchen is supposed to be Alice in Wonderland but I was told to stay out of there until the cake was done. 

With Clover we had an extremely over the top baby shower that was mostly Harry's doing. He made us have a Met Gala themed baby shower.....

This time around we figured we'd do this but not a baby shower. This pregnancy has been a whirlwind despite the fact that it was planned unlike Felix and Clover. So even though I pouted about not being able to help, I am relishing in the fact that I get to sit down. 

I may be speaking too soon, but Clover hasn't started her 'terrible twos' and I hope she never does. The little chatterbox is the sweetest thing ever and hopelessly obsessed with her daddy.

"Hi!" Clover squeals when she sees me sit down on the couch.

"Hi baby, what are you doing?" I giggle at her. 

She scrambles up from the floor and rushes over to me with big smile. She shoves a plastic tea cup in my hand and climbs up onto the couch next to me. 

"Tea party with daddy!"

I raise my eyebrows in awe, "Yeah? Can I come to your tea party too?" I reach over and fix her little ruffley top.

"Can Flix come too?" She asks with big eyes. 

As much as she loves her dad, she is equally obsessed with her brother. 

Harry comes strolling into the living room with a pile of vines in this arms, tiara still perfectly crooked on his head. 

"Fif is still with Auntie Seri babe, you'll see him later with Percy." Harry leans down to peck the top of both of our heads.

I watch amusedly as Clover's tiny body slumps disappointedly. 

"Mummy can play with you though, I'm almost done flower then I'll come sit with you guys. Promise."

"Pinky?" She pouts up at him and I watch as Harry's eyes gloss over in admiration. 

This little girl has him wrapped around her teeny tiny finger.

And I love it. 

"Yeah pinky?" I tease him and rolls his eyes affectionately before pinching my cheek.
