Belle has a doctors appointment today, and I'll be going by myself, unfortunately.

Harry and I still haven't spoken. Although, Mitch did say he went there a few days ago and 'smacked some sense into him'. Whatever that means. After seeing the look on his face I told myself not to question it, he looked simultaneously smug and annoyed.

Other than that, radio silence from Harry. Which is somewhat shocking to me considering what Mitch has said and Sarah did say he was busy with the album and his meetings but I don't know, I get a sense he's ignoring me.

Which, I know I'm sort of ignoring him as well, but again I'm not the one in the wrong.

Regardless of our feelings towards each other at the moment and the lack of communication, I still have to keep up with Isabelle's care so here I am in the car on our way to her four month check up appointment.

I had to call my therapist before I left with Belle because I was nervous for this appointment. This is the first one by myself and she needs multiple vaccines today, which is going to be a shit show.

Thankfully she talked me down and reminded me that although the shots are painful and watching her cry will be difficult, the pain is only temporary and it'll be best for her in the long run.

But now I can feel the dread creeping in and I keep having to remind myself to take slow deep breaths and that everything will be okay.

We arrived at the office sooner than I wanted to and I parked the car as close to the door as I could. Before I got out I took another couple deep breaths to steady myself. If it weren't for the time I probably would have stayed in the car, but I forced myself out and carefully got Belle's carrier out of the car.

We made our way to the elevators and up to the right floor. Once we were in the office I checked her in and we found a seat. I placed her on the floor in front of me, reaching my hand down and letting her play with my fingers while we waited. She started to grip my fingers in her tiny ones, both of her hands reaching up to grasp onto them. Her eyes were wide and her mouth was open in concentration as she did so.

"Isabelle Styles?" My head popped up at the sound of her name and I raised my hand to the nurse before I scooped up the carrier and met her at the doorway.

"Hi, how are we today? I'm Nurse Eden and I'll be working with your doctor today. Let's pop into this room and get her weighed, okay? I just need you to her clothes off but leave her in the diaper." I nodded and carefully brought Belle out of the carrier and took her outfit off before placing her on the table.

"Alright, let's see here... fourteen pounds! Wonderful!" I smiled at the nurses praises, touching Belle's foot lightly as she took her other vitals and measurements.

"Perfect, I'm all done for now, let me grab your doctor and we'll be back shortly." She gave me a bright smile before cooing down at Belle one last time and rubbing her cheek lightly.

I stayed by the table, letting Belle play with the paper under her and making sure she didn't fall off. I rubbed my hand on her belly, worried she would get cold without any clothes on.

I heard a knock on the door and I spoke a soft 'come in' before I heard the latch click and open. I turned around and couldn't help the shock on my face at who I saw.

"Sorry I'm late, my meeting ran longer than expected." He smiled at me softly before turning to Belle and giving her his famous smile. "How's my girl doing? Hmm? Are you having fun with mumma?" She gurgled up at him, her hands reaching for his face instead of the paper under her.
