Tarzan

We pull up to the driveway of the house and I still have my earbuds in. When I unplug them, Harry has the car radio still playing and he's unbuckling his seat belt.

He glances over to me, acknowledging me but not saying anything. I pull my head from the window, unbuckling my seat belt as well.

I open the door and get out, pulling my bag over my shoulder while going to the trunk to get the other bags.

I open the trunk and Harry opens Darcy's door as she hops out of the car.

"Do you need help?" Harry comes around the corner asking.

I shake my head, grabbing one of the bags. But, Harry ignores me and grabs the other one, following Darcy to the front door.

I grab Harry's suitcase also and shut the trunk, struggling to carry all the bags. Harry soon reappears outside and grabs the suitcase from me without saying anything.

I sigh, following him into the house.

I shut the door after I get in and Harry instantly goes around the house, turning all the air conditioners on in our house that has its own heat wave.

It's probably nearly 100°F in here.

Darcy comes running up to me, claiming she's hot.

"I know." I say. "Everyone's hot. Let us go change our clothes, maybe it will make us feel better?"

I walk up the stairs with her following me and go to her room first. I find a tank top and some shorts for Darcy and hand them to her.

She's 5, she can change her clothes by herself.

Exiting her room, I go to my room. When I go in, I see Harry standing in front of the dresser in his boxers, pulling on a pair of basketball shorts.

I go past him, going to the other dresser. He watches me crouch down in front of my dresser and pick out some clothes.

I go with spandex shorts and a tank top. A little too showey, but Harry's seen me naked and I don't think Darcy will care.

"Are you just going to ignore me?" Harry asks as I get changed.

"I'm not ignoring you, you're ignoring me." I say, pulling my shirt off.

"Fine. We were ignoring each other." He agrees. "Mia, you have to understand. I want a baby, it's just-"

"I know, you're career." I say.

"I don't want you to be upset about it, Mia." He says, walking closer to me.

"I thought you wanted kids?" I ask, looking up to him after I get dressed. "You never once stopped and asked what I want from this marriage, Harry." I say, tears threatening to spill. "It's all about you. Darcy wasn't even planned at all! Do you even want kids?"

"My thoughts and opinions always go towards you, Mia." He says, starting to get angry as he steps closer to me. "You can't blame me for everything! It's hard to even keep up with Darcy, let alone you, like I said earlier. But another baby? Mia, on top of that, we haven't used protection in 4 years. Yet, you're somehow blaming me because of it?"

"When I bring up the topic, you immediately go to your career, Harry." I sigh. "Will you just stop and be with your family for once? Darcy misses her dad and I miss my husband."

I walk out of the room, going on a search for Darcy, trying to find out what she's gotten herself into. It'll keep me occupied and Harry will have an excuse not to yell at me.

We try to never fight in front of Darcy, nor cuss. If we start to get angry at each other, we just have to put up with each other until Darcy's asleep. Then, we go at it.

I find her in the living room, grazing at our DVD collection.

"Can we watch a movie, mommy?" She asks and I walk over to her.

"Yeah, of course." I say. "What movie?"

"This one!" She beams, standing from being sat on the floor.

She hands me the DVD case and I look at it to see what movie she picked out. Tarzan.

She's seen it about a thousand times and we've watched it with her about a thousand times.

It's her favorite Disney movie and it's not all cheesy and shit, so Harry and I don't mind watching it with her when she wants to watch it.

I put the movie in the DVD player, walking to the kitchen to get snacks and drinks.

I find Harry sat at the bar with his head in his hands.

"We're watching Tarzan, if you wanna join." I offer and he looks up to me as I pull stuff from the cupboard.

I walk back to the living room and grab a blanket, wrapping both myself and Darcy in it. Harry comes in during the previews and I make room for him on the couch.

I let him in the blanket, it being large enough for the 3 of us. Darcy wraps her arms around Harry, cuddling him while they watch the movie.

And I'm left out. But, it's fine. I wanted this. I wanted them to spend more time with each other..

Harry looks to me and wraps his arm around my shoulder and I instinctively lean into his side.

~*~*~

I follow Harry up the stairs as he carries Darcy to bed. She fell asleep towards the end of the movie.

I go to the bedroom as Harry continues to walk down the hall to Darcy's room.

I decide to not change my clothes since it hasn't gotten very cool in the house since Harry turned the air conditioners on. At least in here, it's still hot.

There's a fan running in the window, but oh, well. The only time we are in here is if we are sleeping, pretty much.

And other stuff that requires a bed.

But that's not the point.

Most of the time we are downstairs with Darcy.

Harry walks in the room and shuts the door, walking over to the bed and sitting down.

"Darcy's room is freezing, so I turned the air conditioner off." He says, pulling the duvet up.

"Okay." I say, sitting on the bed.

He pauses from crawling underneath the blanket, looking to me.

"You can't seriously be mad at me." He says, continuing to be sat up.

I look to him, turning my body so we are face to face with each other.

"I'm not mad, Harry. I'm just... Confused.." I say, looking to my lap.

"About what?" He asks, Confused as well.

"You said you wanted a baby before we even got married.." I say, looking back up to him. "Now you change your mind?"

"Mia.." He sighs, just wishing I would stop bringing up the topic.

"I Just need a definite answer, Harry." I beg, crawling over to him. "I wanna know what to look forward to."

"You really want another baby?" He asks, looking to me. I nod, now sat beside him. "When's that appointment with doctor Reed?"

"Next Thursday." I say, remembering exactly what day.

"Time?"

"Whenever we can get up there, I guess." I say, folding my legs while placing my hands in them.

"Let's wait until we see her, okay?" He asks and I frown. "Mia, I know you're disappointed. But, we've literally been trying for 4 years. Can we wait to see the doctor?"

"Yeah." I slightly smile. "I get it."

"Really?" He asks, making sure.

I nod. ".. Does this mean no sex until then?" I laugh.

"No." He laughs, climbing on top of me. "Hell no."

I laugh again as he connects our lips.
