“Being in there for three days was driving me crazy.” Alyssa sighed as she placed Luna into the car seat.

I helped her place the bags into the trunk of her car, as well as all the gifts she had received from friends and family. The back of the car soon became packed and we spit into our separate cars. Louis and Alyssa were dropping Luna off at our house as they were going to shop for their last minute supplies.

We drove back home, with Alyssa and Louis following right behind us. Harry talked about his worries for taking care of her newly born baby, and I constantly reassured him that it would be okay.

“What if I hurt her or something?”

“Harry, you aren’t going to hurt her.” I said as I rubbed his hand.

He looked unsatisfied with my quiet words, shaking his head as his eyes remained on the road ahead. We were now a block away from our home, and Harry’s nerves were starting to rise.

“I can guarantee nothing will happen to her, Harry. They have so much trust in us, we’ll be alright.”

He nodded as he took my hand to his mouth, leaving soft kisses to the top. He released my hand as he used both hands to turn into the driveway. He turned off the car, leaning over to my cheek and planting a kiss on it. My hand rose up to his neck, keeping him steady as I turned to kiss his lips. My lips dipped to the corner of his mouth before I pulled back, a smile plastered on my face and I looked down to unbuckle my belt. I got out of the car, leaving Harry smirking at me, and went to Alyssa’s car. Louis had gotten out, leaving Alyssa in the warm confines of the car as he took out the carrier seat and handed Luna to me. I covered her up as he made his way back to grab the diaper bag, handing it to Harry as he came up from behind me.

“Be careful with her!” Alyssa shouted as we walked up the steps to the house.

“Always!” I shouted back as I paired a wave.

I turned back to Harry who was pressing the code into the door, “Harry hurry up its cold out.”

He quickly pressed in the numbers, and the door clicked open. He pushed it open, stepping inside to give me room as I carried the baby in the large carrier seat. I sighed as I kicked off my shoes, and walked to the living room.

Ruffles ran up beside me as I placed the seat down, pulling the blanket off the top to expose a fully awake Luna.

“Hiii.” I quietly cooed as I unbuckled her from the seat, placing her on the seat beside me as I got her blanket out, and wrapped her in it to keep her warm.

I was surprised at how quiet she was. Ruffles got onto the couch, and sat beside me as I rubbed the cheeks of the baby in my lap. Harry walked in, moving Ruffles to the floor as he took a seat beside me. He rested his head on my shoulder as his hand went towards Luna, taking her small land in his. She curiously peered over at Harry, no true emotion was shown as she was still far too young, but I knew if she could feel anything towards Harry it would be Love. The way he softened as he came around her, was something that I had grown to adore over the past few days, forgetting about all the harsh moments Harry had as he completely melted before her.

“When do we feed her?” Harry asked.

“Soon, they fed her 2 hours ago.”

“When do we know when to feed her…?”

“How about we feed her in 10 minutes.”

Harry nodded and continued to hold her small hand.

“It must be so lovely to have a baby.” I blurted out.
