Mine

Chapter 40

Thanksgiving was splendid. Harry and I had our families come over instead. Harry did all the cooking. Our families understood completely on why we both left suddenly and we realized what was really wrong was that we weren't together when we should of been. So we did indeed spend our first holiday together.

Harry and I made an appointment for cake testing today, I still haven't quite figured out how everything is going to be taken to Hawaii for the wedding. I remember the day we booked the venue, it was a couple of days before I got taken. I probably would have died if Liam and Haz didn't get to me in time. They threatened to kill me numerous times before they got there, but they never did. They put the gun to my head all the times they threatened my life. I remember thinking this is it no more and how much me dying would of destroyed Harry. Sitting here now my arms wrapped around him on the sofa Gracie cuddled into Haz's stomach, I don't worry anymore. I know nothing bad can happen anymore. In a few short months I'll be Mr. Styles.

The invitations were sent out. Now all we need is the cake, rings, and suits for the best men, and the tickets for the flight. Harry and I agreed to fly our family only out for it, mainly with my money. I don't mind though.

"Lou?" Harry with a quiet giggle.

"Yes?" I snap out of my thoughts.

"Look at Gracie." he smiles down at her.

She has her paws in the air, she's asleep and moving her paws as if she's pushing something away while squirming. I smile at her with a giggle.

"How cute." I smile.

"She must be dreaming of something she doesn't want or like." he coos at her.

I peck his cheek and go back to the game of footie on the TV. Niall is sat in the love seat watching the game intensely. Seems Niall and I are cheering for opposite teams. I've grown to get used to Niall living here now. He and I have grown used to one another, not as annoyed with each other. We banter more often now.

The game goes off my team won, just in time for Harry and I to go cake tasting, and suit shopping for the best men. Just have to get Liam after tasting. We all leave of course we took Gracie. Harry drives cause I don't have a clue where the shop is for the tasting. It wasn't very far from the house.

Inside we are sat at a small table while the lady brings us slices of cake. I of course wanted chocolate but Harry liked some fancy flavored type I couldn't pronounce. We decided on Harry's preference after I tasted it I actually liked it. We got a 3 tierd cake. They said they would send the order to the same shop in Hawaii for the wedding. That checks off cake from the list.

Suit shopping was easy for Niall and Liam both of them decided rather quickly on what to wear. Its all going so fast too quickly. This must be when reality becomes true. The reality of me marrying Harry is exciting. We could finish everything in one day.

"Haz lets finish everything today we can. We still got the rest of the day its only 12." I suggest.

He shrugs nodding.

All in a couple of hours we get everything totally done for the wedding, tickets and all.

"It's all done." Harry smiles from the passenger seat Gracie in his lap.

"Yep all done." I say.

"I'm actually excited to leave here." Niall pipes up with a smirk.

"That's only because you got a free ride to paradise." Harry says over his shoulder.

"Could be, as for Christmas we aren't going to have another one of those problems are we?" I can see a brow raised through the mirror.

Harry grabs my hand.

"No I don't think so." Harry answers with a squeeze to my hand.

~~~ Christmas Eve

"Niall I swear if you put tinsel on that damned tree I will kick your ass." Harry says from the couch watching Niall decorate the Christmas tree.

Niall drops the tinsel back into the tub. I laugh.

"What's with you and tinsel?" I question looking up at him from his lap.

"I just don't like it, it's honestly quite ugly to me and makes me cringe when I see it on anything not just trees." he shrugs.

Gracie runs around like a mad beast. She's some what bigger now, much more playful. She barks at the snowflakes falling outside onto the already covered ground.

"Maybe we should let her out to play in it, I myself kind of want to play myself. After all it is my birthday." I give a cheeky grin.

"Okay birthday boy let's go have some fun in the snow." he rolls his eyes.

With that we bundle up and go out back. Gracie runs sending snow flying in every way. I take a good snowball and pack it well and nail Harry right in the back.

"BULLSEYE!" I yell with a laugh.

"You really shouldn't have done that." he smirks.

He grabs me trying to pull me into the cold snow. I get lose throwing snow in his face he grabs some doing the same to me. Gracie joins in on the excitement barking at Harry and I. We both laugh nearly exhausted after a hour of playing in the snow like kids. I may be 25 now but I still love to have a bit of fun in the snow.

Inside we change into some warm dry clothes, Niall is fixing an old soup recipe of his for dinner. Shockingly so Harry and I haven't had sex in a while which is strange for us. Not that it bothers me, I just find it incredibly strange. Though I've the urge to do it with him, I feel like now since we have went so long without having it we can just wait until our wedding in July it is only a few months away.

"Lou?" Harry says wrapping his arms around me as we settle back into the couch.

"Yeah?" I say snuggling into him closer to warm up.

"You remember how you told me to not get you something for your birthday because Christmas is right after?"

I nod.

"Well being the stubborn ass I am I couldn't resist and got you something anyway. Happy birthday Lou." he pecks the back of my head.

It's a pendant charm to add on the bracelet that he got me when we first got together. It's a beautiful silver H. He clips it onto my bracelet and I admire it. I actually love the small piece I must give him this one. Its not too awfully bad as it is small and perfect for one of those gifts before Christmas.

"Well? What do you think?" he questions.

I sit up and turn to face him.

"I think it's perfect." I feel a bit of tears well up in my eyes.

Damn I'm such a baby around him. He giggles seeing the tear fall down my cheek. He wipes it away leaning in. He pauses just in front of me waiting for me to kiss him. I give him a kiss.

Dinner was good I must say Niall is a good cook with some things. After dinner we all waste no time with going to bed.

Christmas was great as usual. The family came round my family and Harry's. We all enjoyed the gifts we got. Most if not all of us couldn't stop talking about Hawaii in July.

~~~
Harry's birthday was a surprise for him. Gemma took him with her to find out what she's having. She's having a little boy. Seeing how excited Harry was over his little nephew makes me even more ready for what is yet to come after the wedding. To finally give him the baby he wants.

I had my own part I planned a surprise party at a restaurant back in the private area of the place. I got his family together and mine. He truly enjoyed every moment of it. As did I.

In 5 months I can call his family my own and he call my family his. 5 months I tell myself over and over with each time I get more and more excited and each passing day draws the day more and more closer.

Soon I will be Louis Tomlinson Styles. 5 months, 5 months, 5 months....
