Somebody's Child

~ T W E N T Y - F O U R~

The weeks continued to go by and before we knew it, it the night before my birthday. 19 years old. This year I was excited as we were able to finally celebrate it properly. Harry was due next month so this would be a really big deal for us as it would be the last big celebration together before our little girl arrived.

Harry had gone out with Anne and the girls today so I was home alone. It felt weird not being with him. Today was the first time in months that we have been apart. Ever since I killed the 2 monsters, Harry has been doing well. He's no longer scared to go out in public anymore, he can shower by himself now and he seemed to be in a better mood.

The only thing that hasn't change was his nightly nightmares. We have tried everything and anything to help get rid of them. Therapy has helped him so much during the day but even the therapist doesn't know why his nightmares are still the same intensity. He said they should have gotten less tense by now.

I sighed as I held onto my cup of tea and looked out over the now snow filled mountains. It was absolutely gorgeous and I wish I could stare at it all day. Unfortunately, I had some things to do when everyone was gone and couldn't.

I finished my tea before I started on the work that had to be done. Laundry, dishes and the house all had to be cleaned and it was my turn to deep clean it. I put on some music from a band called One Direction, never heard of them to be honest but they have some pretty amazing shit.

I spent the whole day cleaning but it was worth it. The house looked absolutely stunning and I still had time to shower before they arrived home. I walked back upstairs to our room and stripped down, throwing my dirty clothes into the laundry hamper and grabbing a pair of PJ bottoms and boxers to put on afterwards.

I walked into the bathroom and went straight into the shower. The warm water hitting my skin as I watched the snow fall out the window. I didn't spend too much time in there as I knew they would be arriving home any time. I washed my body and hair before getting out and getting dressed before blow drying my hair to perfection.

I heard the door close and chatter fill the house as I went down to greet them. "Hazza!" I said as I hugged him tightly. "Loubear!" He replied. "How was shopping? Did you have fun?" I asked and he smiled. "I had an absolutely amazing time with them love. We did some Christmas shopping and birthday shopping." He giggled.

"Awe love. You didn't have to get me anything." I said. "I have all I need right in front of me" I added kissing his forehead. Anne awe'd before kissing his head and going to start dinner.

The rest of the night was a family night. We sat around the fire playing monopoly as we ate chocolate fondue. We had a good night overall but I couldn't wait for tomorrow. As the night went on the girls ended up falling asleep on the couch and Anne went to bed. I sat with Harry in between my legs as we watched the fire.

"I'm glad you had a good day love. I love seeing you happy." I said quietly as I wrapped my arms around him. "You make me the happiest person alive Louis." He replied looking up at me.

We sat there snuggled up in a blanket until midnight hit. Harry smiled at me before he kissed me. "Happy Birthday love." He said continuing to kiss me. I can't believe he was all mine. I felt like the luckiest man in the world.

Morning came pretty quickly after that. The girls woke up and wished me a Happy birthday and Anne even made a birthday breakfast. After breakfast I was presented with an adorable cake and presents from everyone.

"Guys I appreciate this but you didn't have to go overboard." I chuckled as I pulled Harry into my lap. "It was Harry's idea" Gemma said and Harry blushed. "Oh- is that so?" I asked before I kissed his shoulder, leading up to his neck and sucking his crease softly.
