It's December 29th and Emma is beyond excited as she's waiting to board the plane to Disney World, Harry and Louis on each side of her.

Louis is double checking their car rental and suite accommodations on his phone while Harry is simply chewing gum and glancing around the busy airport.

It's been over 8 months since Harry's transplant and his levels are considered normal by his doctor; Harry found it surprising at first because, in most cases, it usually takes at least 12 months total before the immune system functions as it should. However, once again, Harry's body has proven how much it is willing to fight. And Harry only knows he has Louis to thank for it.

He's pushing his long curls back, being thankful that he has them again, though they are still not quite as long as before the transplant. He's content with the length now, and so is Emma. She can braid his hair any time she likes... and she does quite frequently.

Harry continues to chew his gum as his phone sounds from his pocket. He pulls it out and sees a text from Glenne. He's smiling before he's even read it.

"Hope you guys enjoy the vacation. Here's the ultrasound picture I told you I would send you. xx"

Harry stares down at the 3D image of the baby... his baby; his smile doesn't waver. He studies over the baby's face and hands... he thinks it's amazing what they can do with technology these days; allowing parents to have 3D images of their babies inside the womb.

He glances at Louis before he's tapping his shoulder with his finger. Louis turns to look at him before Harry's holding up the phone for him.

Louis takes the phone from him and stares down at the image, "this is amazing."

"Isn't it?" Harry grins at him, his excitement flowing out, "you can see its face so well..."

"I can't believe we're still calling the baby an 'it'," Louis begins to smirk as he's shaking his head, "you need to just pick some names and keep them."

"How can I when every name I choose you hate?" Harry asks him with a frown.

"I didn't say I hated all of them," Louis is quick to point out.

"I wanna see," Emma says excitedly. Louis hands her the phone and she's smiling down at the photo, "that's my sister?"

"Or brother," Harry tells her quickly.

"Honesty, why don't we just find out what it is?" Louis sighs out, "I hate not knowing..."

"Because part of life, Lou, is not knowing," Harry replies to him as he catches Louis' eye, "sometimes not knowing can be a gift... like in this case."

Louis begins to smile as he nods, "I get it, love."

Emma gives Harry the phone and Harry begins showing her the baby's nose, its tiny fingers, and Louis sits still watching them, a smile on his face that reaches his eyes. He sits and listens to Emma talking so excitedly about the baby's arrival in only 2 short months.
