Chapter 27

Harry's P.O.V

A few hours after we arrived to my hometown, we were informed that Gemma and her boyfriend, Michal, were coming to stay at Mum's for a while so Gemma could spend time with her goddaughter.

Mum, Robin, Alexandra and I were all sitting in the living room watching Scarlett crawl after Dusty and Dotty. The baby was letting out delighted squeals every time one of the cats would glide their tails across her chubby cheeks. The cats didn't seem to mind Scarlett's rather harsh petting, no, not at all. They seemed really pleased, actually. They purred each and every time Scarlett would stroke their heads rather savagely. She didn't really have a clue as to how she was petting the cats. Then again, she's just a tiny little curious baby. My tiny little curious baby.

"She's completely infatuated by Dotty and Dusty. I've never seen those two more relaxed than in this moment." Mum commented playfully as Scarlett laid herself completely on top of Dotty and grabbed at Dusty'a fur in complete happiness.

Alexandra and I giggled at our baby girl's antics.

"They seem more than okay to have her tiny hands pulling at their fur. I hope neither of them scratch her. We'll have some serious trouble if that happens." I murmured, my eyes glued to the babbling baby girl who was sprawled out on top of one of the cats.

"I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. They seem to really like her. I don't think it's in either of their interest to hurt Scarlett; no matter how savagely she pets them." Alexandra giggled from besides me.

Mum and Robin both laughed fondly. At the sound of their laughter, Scarlett, who was about to about to poke one of Dotty's eyes, turned around immediately and crawled over to where her grandparents were sitting.

"Hi lovely girl! Were you having fun with Dotty and Dusty?" Mum cooed warmly to a whining Scarlett.

"Ooh!" The tiny girl squealed when she grabbed onto the soft yellow cushion Robin was handing her.

Alexandra and I glanced at each other with pure adoration and fondness for our baby girl.

"Say thank you Papa!" Alexandra encouraged our daughter.

"Papa!"

Did she just-

"That's not fair! I thought you loved me more!" Mum whined playfully to my giggling girl. Robin was quick to prop her up on his knee and deliver kisses to her chubby cheeks.

I glanced down at Alexandra only to catch her wiping the tears from her cheeks.

"Aw, baby. It's okay!" I laughed warmly, though my eyes were brimmed with tears as well.

"She's growing up so fast, H... I need her to stay a baby forever!" Alex whimpered into my chest as I placed a round of kisses to her head.

"She's just starting to talk, Kitten, we have a long while with her; she'll always be our baby." I promised.

Looking to where my baby girl was, I watched as she proceeded to grin innocently at me and babble to my parents.

That little girl is my entire world, I tell you.
