Faded (Minishaw)

Ch. 40

extra chapter. 

Harry's POV

I can't believe that Conor is one year old already, this past year has been a crazy one, we got married and bought a flat, and now our perfect baby is turning one. this is a big milestone as after the first year we no longer have a baby, we have a toddler now. 

"look at you go" Simon tells Conor as he holds both his hands and walks with him all around the apartment, he could walk if he wanted to, but he just a little bit scared to let go, he walks with me and Simon all the time, but someone needs to be holding his hand, otherwise he just stands there and cries until one of us comes and give's him an hand, it's adorable to be honest.

"you can do it Conor, come to daddy" I say as I sit down on the floor about 10 baby steps away from Simon

"run to daddy" Simon tells him as he smiles, I have my camera ready as I do not want to miss his first steps on his own, but Conor does not budge, he does not want to let go off Simon's hand, so I guess that the walking will have to wait. We have to start cooking and baking as his birthday dinner is tonight, everyone is coming over, Cal, Cal and Sarah, Josh, Freya, Ethan and Emily, Tobi, Vikk and Kay and then JJ and Lucy. We have quite a large friend group. then our family's will be here next weekend. 

"daddy" Conor tells me, I'm daddy and Simon is dad, we did not want to confuse the kid to much, I tried it once to get him to call Simon mommy, but Simon did not find that funny at all. 

"what is it baby"

"ball" he tells me as he picks up his little red ball, that is his favorite toy, he and Simon are always playing catch or football in the living room, it's honestly the cutest thing ever. 

"can you throw me the ball?" I ask and he does 

"daddy ball" he squeaks happily 

"good job Conor, now Conor catch the ball?" I tell him as I roll it to him witch makes him laugh his adorable little baby laugh so we just roll the ball for a little while, I love the smile that he has on his face the hole time. how adorable can he get?

"are you gonna help me or no?" Simon laughs at me

"yeah" I say smiling and we continue cooking dinner for everyone. We make a roast dinner and I only had to call my mom 3 times for help. But everything turned out good, except the cake, that we burned. so I just went to a local bakery and bought 2 cakes, that would have to do. 

Then everyone starts to arrive and Conor goes into hyper mode, he is chatting to everyone even though he can only say about 9 words, but they get so much use. 

"can you say JJ" JJ tries over and over again

"he does not want to" Ethan laughs at him

"common, I'm your fav right, just say J J" JJ tells him again and again

"JJ" Conor squeaks as JJ jumps up with the baby in his arms

"suck it the lot off you, he said my name first!"

"only because you forced him to" Ethan tells him

"nahh, we are just best mates right Conor, give uncle JJ a high five" he says grabbing Conor's hand and shakes it lightly. It's so fun to watch our friends interact with him, he loves them all and they love him. this is just picture perfect and I'm loving every minute off my new life. I would not change this for anything.
