Something Infinite

Chapter 26

Jen's POV

After a day of being anxious and distressed over arguing with Harry, it was just nice to wake up next to him, feeling relaxed and at ease over the whole naming ordeal.

Since sleep was basically a thing of the past for me, whenever I got the opportunity, I just laid there staring as Harry slept so peacefully. I missed this when we were apart. Usually when his arm wasn't flung around me, it rested under his cheek, squishing his face into the cutest of pouts.

His hair was always wildly all over the place- covering the pillow, stuck to his forehead, and most of the time working as an eye mask to block the morning light out. It was long and well overdue for a trim, but I grew to love it.

I decided that I was going to do the letter exercise Natalie suggested, when we got to LA. I would ask Willow, or Gemma and Angus to watch Mia for a few hours, and make the most of the alone time we had. I would rid my life of the negativity from my past, then I would make love to the man I planned to spend forever with.

It may not be the most conventional form of romance, and definitely didn't exceed the night of his birthday on the boat, but my favourite moments with Harry were when we opened up to each other, and let the other person in. We shared each other's burdens, and that's when it really felt like we were connecting as one.

I loved him, and I loved where our relationship was at right now. Everyday I felt like we were becoming stronger than the day before, and even though neither of us really thought we knew how to perfect this thing called a relationship, I was pretty content that we were doing alright.

Mia broke the silence in the room, letting me know she was ready to start this long day of travel. She was already a jetsetter, and would be visiting her third continent all before she was even two months old. She handled the travel well, which I was happy about since she'd be country hopping for majority of her life, being a duel citizen of both Australia and the UK.

I really did want to make the extra effort to visit here as often as I could. I wanted Mia to know her fathers childhood hometown, just as well as mine. I wanted her to refer to both Williamstown and Holmes Chapel as her home, not just one or the other. We would make this work.

"Good morning my little one," I lifted her up from her crib, kissing her warm squishy cheek. Everyday I could see more of Harry in her, she was already her fathers daughter. Although Harry seemed to think she was a mini me, but I didn't see it. I suppose we both just saw what we wanted to see.

"Are you ready to go see your auntie Gem Gem, and uncle Gus Gus? They miss you so much, if mummy doesn't send through at least one photo a day of you to them, your auntie gets very mad at me," I brought her back into bed with me, laying her between Harry and I.

"Wake daddy up, he doesn't need to be sleeping if mummy can't. Say wake up dad, wake up," I took her little hand in mine, making her tap Harry on the nose.

He didn't budge, but his breathing had become lighter, so I knew he was alert, and just being too stubborn to open his eyes.

"I think daddy wants you to slap him," I joked around with her. Her hand kept finding his face, and she was staring at him, just like she knew exactly who he was. I was glad she and Harry were bonding, I had my worries she may not recognise him right away since he had been away from her for a little while, but she seemed just fine with him.

The more she touched his face, the more he smiled, eventually opening his eyes.

"Well good morning to you too Mia Bella, did your mother put you up to this?" He pushed his back out of his face, giving her a kiss or five good morning.
