Still The One

Part 1

~Lillian Pov~
Just another hour of working in hell, I thought. I work at my city's local grocery store for extra cash. I'm a college student, second year. Graduated at the top of my class. Got a scholarship for Nursing School. Have pretty much everything going for me, except for the fact that I'm not like other girls. Don't have a boyfriend, have only one person in the whole world I trusted- my twin brother Samuel. My other siblings not so much. Alexander is married with two kids, Maggie and Rose. Katelyn is married too, and has a son named Matthew.

I was drifted out of my thoughts when a young man came into the store. I was a bit surprised, seeming as it was midnight. He went into the infant section. I had nothing better to do, so I walked over to him.

"Can I help you find anything sir?"

"Yogurt puffs for an infant."

I grabbed the puffs for him and we headed to the checkout. I tried to keep small talk by asking about his child.

"Sooo, your little one likes these?"

"Wouldn't buy them if he didn't," the man replied.

"That will be $4.17 sir."

He handed me a $10 and I gave him his change. The man grabbed them and was out right away.

"Julia come get the damn puffs"

My wife of 2 years strolled into the kitchen and grabbed the snack. She went up the stairs to attend to Theo, our son, who should be asleep right now.

I walked over to the couch and turned on the TV. All that was on was the fucking news. I switched the television off and headed upstairs to the bedroom, where I stripped down to boxers.

I climbed into bed, and just as I was drifting off to sleep, my son began to bawl his eyes out.

Attempting to be the good dad I am, I went into his bedroom. Ushering Julia to go to sleep, I took Theo out of her arms and put him into mine. I sat down in the rocking chair soothing him.

I never thought I would be a parent at 24. I met Julia at work. We hit it off at the start. She and I dated for barely any time at all before her parents tried pressuring me into proposing. I did though, and 1 year later, at 22, I was standing at the alter. Up until Theo was born Julia and I were the perfect couple and I could hardly understand why I ever wanted to not get married.

After Theo, Julia turned to someone I didn't know. She was always complaining about her looks, always complaining we didn't have enough spice in our relationship, and worst of all always complained that I was never home enough. Definitely not my fault that she wasn't working. Someone had to support the family, and that someone was me.

I drifted back into reality and saw a sleeping Theo in my arms. I set him in his crib, covered him up, and snuck out of the room. I went back to my room and was greeted by a snoring Julia. I shook my head and climbed into our king size.

Alright so I have a feeling that some of you are going to ask about the dollar thing since Harry is British. I'm not myself so I wanted them to live in the U.S. Harry and his family moved to the United States when the publishing company moved to the States.
