I woke up to the sun shining through the window, Harry's arms wrapped around me, holding me close, his hands on my pregnant belly, holding it protectively. I turned carefully trying not to wake him only to see his beautiful green eyes watching me. "Morning," he said groggily and smiled.
"Good morning," I said and kissed his chest, cuddling into him more.
Then the sound of tiny feet running on the hard wood floor rang through the room. I smiled as the door swung open and our 5 year old struggled to get on our large bed. Once he succeeded, he jumped up and down on the bed and giggled. "Wake up mummy! Wake up daddy!"
Harry quickly grabbed him and tackled him on the bed tickling him and blowing raspberries on his belly. Jaxon giggled loudly and tried pushing his fathers hands away. "Mummy help me," Jaxon yelled through his laughs.
I started tickling Harry and Jaxon joined in. He put his hands up in surrender and smiled, "Okay, okay you both win." He kissed Jaxon and me.
We told Jaxon yesterday that we'd bring him to the zoo. We've brought him before but he was too young to remember anything. He loves animals and wouldn't stop asking to go, so Harry and I promised to bring him. "Okay let's go get you ready for the day buddy," I said picking Jaxon up and bringing him to his room. I helped him get dressed as Harry got dressed.
Having to get Jaxon and Harry ready, fed, have everything for the day packed, and get them both in the car to be somewhere for a specific time was always hard. Harry might be 28, but he is no help when it comes to this kind of stuff. He's always running around and playing with Jaxon. But once we're all finally in the car and on our way it gets easier.
I finally could relax once we were all sat in the car as Harry drove to the zoo. I put on a kids radio station for Jaxon and held Harry's free hand. I looked back at Jaxon who was smiling and couldn't sit still from excitement. "Are we there yet," he questioned looking out the window when the car stopped.
"I believe we are." I smiled and helped him out of his seat as Harry got the stroller out of the back. "He probably won't be in that much. He's so excited," I said smiling and putting the bag in the handle of the stroller.
"Hopefully he'll be tired and go down for a nap towards lunch so it won't be a fight to go home." he said as he paid for our entry.
I grabbed a map, "Where to first Jax?" I asked already knowing the answer.
"I want to see the lions!" He smiled wide.
"Thought so," I smiled.
We walked all day, but jaxon never once complained about being tired or his feet hurting. By lunch time we all sat down at a bench by a playground. We had a picnic and ice cream. Once Jaxon ate everything he was off again as if he wasn't tired at all.
Harry and I sat and watched as he played on the jungle gym and talked to every kid there just like his dad. He looked and acted just like his dad. His hair is curly and chocolaty brown. Jaxon refuses to get it cut because he wants to be just like Harry. He has Harry's beautiful green eyes. He can, and will, talk to every human being that he meets. He's a spitting image of Harry in every way possible. He's perfect.
As I got lost in my thoughts, I heard Harry chuckle. I looked at him, then at Jaxon who was trying to get on one of the hedges that's cut like a giraffe (ik its not a giraffe). Harry smiled and ran over to him. Despite the signs that said not to, he put Jaxon on the animal. Jaxon smiled wide as Harry took a picture of him. "Get on with me daddy."
Harry smiled wide and happily got on to. "Babe come take a picture!"
I laughed and quickly took a picture of them. I saw an employee coming. "Now get off before we get in trouble." I said grabbing Jaxon. Harry got off and kissed my cheek.
Jaxon rambled on about all the other animals he wanted to see, but I knew he wouldn't make it too much longer. He was rubbing his eyes and yawning and grumpy because the sleep was getting to him. He eventually passed out in Harry's arms. Harry put him in the stoller and handed me the keys to the car. "I'm going to grab him something in the gift shop and I'll meet you out there." he said kissing my cheek and putting the cover up on the stroller to get the sun out of Jaxon's eyes.
"Get him a stuffed lion."
"No, I was going to get him a real lion" He said sarcatically and ran into the gift shop.
I smiled and walked out to the car. I put Jaxon in his car seat, careful not to wake him up. I put the stroller and bag in the back of the car and got in. I cranked the car and turned on soft music to drown out any conversation Harry and I would have.
Harry opened the back of the car and threw in a stuffed lion bigger than Jaxon. I laughed softly and kissed Harry when he got in. "You're such an amazing dad. I can't compete with you to be the favorite parent."
He smiled and rubbed your belly. "I can't wait to spoil her too." I smiled and held my hand over his.
