~~Harry's POV~~

We went to the Dr. yesterday and I am happy to say that my wife and I are expecting our second child. Dr. Shaw said everything looked absolutely perfect, Maddie is 7 weeks along and her due date is August 1st.  So we have decided the way we are going to tell London. We are going to take her with us today for an ultrasound and to hear the wee ones heartbeat. As I walk in the house it's quite and with London that is not happening. "Girls!" I yell out sitting the folders on the table. I had to run to the label today, 21 Demands is finalizing their album and it is brilliant. I told Maddie I would sign off on it so she wouldn't have to go.

"Up here." I smile taking the steps two at a time. I don't think I could be any happier right now, my two girls are happy and healthy and another wee one on the way. Life is grand. I stand at the door watching them move around.

"Hi daddy." London chirps climbing up on the bed so Maddie can fix her hair. She runs the brush with grace as London smiles.

"Hello little bear." I take a seat in front of her as Maddie places the small clip in her hair.

"Do I look pretty daddy?" She stands turning so I can see her.

"The prettiest little girl I have ever seen."

"What about Mummy we match." I take them both in and they do. I find it cute that they tend to match their clothes.

"Beautiful." I lean over catching Maddie's lips as she goes to stand. "You look brilliant." She smiles and kisses my forehead. She does I mean she always looks beautiful but she has a glow today that I haven't seen in a long time. Her happiness is undeniable and it seeps from every pore of her body.

"So how did it go?" She looks over at me as she bends fastening the little shoes onto London's tiny feet.

"I cant wait till you hear it love, it's amazing. They are going to change the way people listen to music." I tell her and she smiles. She did an amazing job with them, she has spent many hours with them trying to make everything perfect and she did.

"There you go love." She kisses London as she stands and London takes off.

"Harry." She walks over placing the brush in her hand on the dresser as she says my name. I always know when she says my name like this she wants to talk about something. I stand as she walks to the door waiting on me.

"Yes love." I close the door then we make our way to the kitchen.

"What do you think about having a country artist?" I never thought much about it to be honest.

"Why love?" I take a bite of the banana that I am eating as she hands me a cup of tea.

"London!" She calls out then she continues. "Well I might know of a couple that is really good, but I don't know how to go about asking them." London runs in and Maddie hands her a glass of apple juice. I act like I'm going to take it from her and London swats at me.

"Stop get your own." I chuckle as she runs off.

"Well love are they wanting to sign with a label?"

"Not sure, I mean I know they play random bars and things back home and even in Nashville. But Harry they are good and that's why I wonder if I should bring it up. Surely if they wanted to sign they would have already." She leans against the counter scratching right above her brow.

"How did you hear about them?" I have to wonder because we haven't been anywhere for her to hear them. She pulls her hair back then grabs the tablet from her bag. She twist her lips biting her cheek as her finger moves over the screen.
