Letters to Andee

Chapter 21

CHAPTER 21

HARRY'S POV

A knock at my door woke me up; I rolled over to see if Andee was there but she was gone so I sat up quickly to get the door. When I open the door I'm surprised to see my mum.

"Mum..." I mumble and she gives me a small smile.

"Hi Harry... can I speak with you please?" she asks and I open the door farther so she can come in.

"Yea sure..." I clear my throat of my morning voice and rub my eyes. I sit on the bed and she sits next to me. I'm aware that I'm just in my boxers but I forget about it, that's not important right now. She grabs my hands and rests them in her lap.

"Honey... I'm really sorry how I reacted when you told me about the baby..." she sighs and I look away.

"I thought you would support me, you do on everything else..." I sigh.

"I... I know honey... and I do support you in this, I just wish you would've told me sooner, you've always told me everything and it hurt my feelings that you didn't tell me." she brushes my hair out of my face and I look down at my lap. I didn't even have any control over that because Andee waited to tell me... "But... last night I had a little chat with Andee and we talked about why you didn't tell me... she told me that she didn't tell you..." I look up at her quickly. Andee is so embarrassed about not telling me, she feels horrible about it and I'm so surprised she actually told my mum. "She was so worried about you, I could tell..." she smiles up at me and I'm taken aback. Andee gets nervous about talking to people she doesn't know and for her to talk to my mum about this on purpose warms my heart.

"She talked to you about it?" I whisper.

"Yeah, she had a peanut butter craving last night and I heard her in the kitchen, it was so precious, she was talking to the baby..." she smiles at me and I blush, imagining the adorable moment. "I told her that I craved peanut butter when I was pregnant with you." she laughs and I chuckle lightly. "Honey, I'm really sorry... can we put this behind us?"

"yes..." I smile at her and hug her tight. I wish it wouldn't have gone the way it did but I'm glad it's over with now. And I completely understand why she was upset. I've told her everything that went on in my life directly after it happened for the past twenty years, why would she expect this to be any different?

"Where's Andee?" I ask when she finally lets me go.

"She's downstairs in the kitchen making breakfast." She smiles.

"Well then, let's go get some food!" I stand up and she rushes out of the room. I throw on a pair of loose pants and rush downstairs. I need my good morning kiss.

ANDEE'S POV

I flip a pancake and hum a little tune before I hear Anne walk through the door.

"He's on his way down darling, I'm going to go get dressed." She kisses my cheek and rushes to her room. I smile at her motherly affection and wait for the heavy clunking of Harry's "graceful" walk down the stairs.

Two pancakes later I hear it and immediately a smile takes over my face.

What is going on with me? I blame the hormones...

I look up at the doorway the minute he comes in and he rushes up to me and scoops me into his arms, spinning me in a hug and sets me on my feet. Before I can react to his enthusiasm he grabs my face and kisses me almost desperately. My hands slide into his hair and he hums against my lips.
