Taylor's pov

Harry pulled into the driveway of my childhood home, I was excited to see my parents and Austin. I looked behind me to find the kids fast asleep.

"Gosh, it feels like forever since I seen everyone", I said, the biggest smile on my face. Harry glanced at me and returned the smile before parking in front of the house. The first snow of December had began to fall a couple minutes ago and I was glad we didn't decide to come here later instead of earlier. 

"I know I haven't seen them in quite a while either", he said before sliding out of the car. I got out of the car also and woke up Abigail and helped her out of her car seat.

"We'll get the bags later", I told Harry quickly before rushing to the front door of the house the door swung open before I even got a chance to ring the doorbell.

"Mom", I squealed excitedly and rushed into her arms.

"My baby", she smiled and kissed me on the forehead. "Hello Abi", she said and Abigail gave her a hug, only recognising her grandmother from the countless Skype calls we made weekly.

"Hi", Abigail said shyly, a bit unsure of what to say. I smiled at my baby girl.

"Harry", my mother announced warmly pulling him in for a hug before averting her attention to Jason who was in his arms. "He looks so much like Austin when he was a baby", she said, this was her first time meeting Jason in person. Of course my mother doesn't know about Harry and mines near split. We all followed her into the kitchen where my brother and father were sitting.

"Daddy", I called and rushed over to give him a hug and place a kiss on his cheek. I nearly cried at how happy I was to see everyone. This is what I missed most about living in America, my family.

"Hi Austin", I grumbled, giving him a dirty look jokingly.

"Ewwww", he said giving me a disgusted look before flashing a grin at me, I quickly walked over to him and gave him a hug.

"I missed you baby bro", I whispered.

"I missed you too sis", he replied. When we pulled away I looked over at my Father who had the two kids in his lap and was chatting to Harry. Harry and I were working things out one step at a time, we want to make this work for ourselves and the kids.

"Hey man", Austin said as he made his way over to Harry. The two men hugged before my whole family were chatting and messing around, I watched taking it all in and how close it had come for Harry not to be here with me today. A tear trickled down my cheek and i quickly swiped it away when I seen my mother approaching me.

"What are you doing over here?" She asked.

"Just taking this beautiful moment in", I replied a faint smile making it's way onto my face.

"All the people I love in one room together for the first time", I said as more tears fell down my face. Mom smiled at me before hugging me tighter then before.

"Taylor", Harry called and I snapped my attention to him. "Let's get the luggage". I nodded my head in agreement and we walked out of the house together. The snow was heavier then before and it had begun to cover the whole street. "So I guess you never told them about our fight?" He questioned when he knew we were on our own.

"No. I didn't want too", I told him.

"I'm glad you didn't things would have been very awkward", he said kissing my temple. I nodded in agreement and then we grabbed all the bags and headed back into the house.

"I'm a princess", I heard Abigail tell my parents, when we entered the house. Harry looked at me and we both smiled.

"Really?" Austin asked her as we entered the living room.

"Mmhhmm", Abigail mumbled. Mom jumped of the sofa to show us to our rooms.

"Ok so, the kids can stay in your old room as there is a cot and a single bed in there. Then you guys can have the spare room", she said.

"We might just each just stay in a room with one of the kids", Harry said, glancing at me briefly. We hadn't got back to sharing a bed yet, I don't know why but Harry just doesn't want to yet.

"Well whatever suits", she said.

Austin and I were the last up, it was two am and we were still wide awake. Harry was the last to leave us half an hour ago.

"What's up with y'all?" Austin asked, slumped across the brown suede sofa.

"With who?" I asked my heart hammering in my chest.

"With you and Harry. You's aren't like you use to be. You use to be all over each other all the time, now ye barely glance in each other's direction. And you aren't sharing a room, what's with that?" He asked lazily. I twiddled my thumbs nervously fixing my gaze on a burnt spot on the wooden floor where I had dropped the iron on it years ago and my mother was so mad at me for going near the hot iron.

"Nothing. When your married for a while you realise that you don't need to be all over each other 24/7", I told him and yawned slightly. "I will be moving Abigail into the room with Jason when I head up, we just put her there so we could lie with her till she fell asleep", I lied to him, I was definitely going to have to move her now. After a few more jokes and when are film ended I headed up to the spare room where Abigail and Harry were fast asleep. I quietly picked up Abigail and carried her gently into my old room were Jason was. The room was still light pink, with my double bed which had white railings. I carefully placed her in the beds so not to wake her up. Jason was fast asleep in his cot, looking cute as ever. I kissed them both on thee foreheads before making my way back to the spare room. I quietly got into bed beside Harry and let out a quiet sigh of relief, maybe I'd get some sleep tonight.
