This is just a quick piece I wrote for you, Allie. It's just about Harry and Y/N sitting on the couch and discussing their future. So, Merry Christmas! Hope you like it. 🎄💗

TIME WILL TELL

Joyous conversation no longer filled the living room, and everyone had since stalked off to rest and take advantage of whichever gifts they could.

Christmas with the Styles' was everything you thought it'd be—everything you'd hoped. They treated you as if you were one of them already. Come August of next year, you would be. All because of your love for a curly-haired boy with unforgettable green eyes. In a matter of two years, he made you feel in ways you'd never dreamt of before. The love you too shared was indescribable. That is something you will be grateful for forever.

Once in a lifetime is how often someone special will come into a person's life and push away everything they were comfortable with. For you, that person was Harry. Loving him was easy, letting yourself was the hard part. When something foreign was presented to you, your brain and heart had a hard time allowing themselves to accept it. Even if they really wanted to. You knew that. Even he knew that. So he made sure to take things slow.

That ended up making all the difference.

Nothing but the sound of crackling firewood was left to fill the silence of the room. A few bows and tiny scraps of wrapping paper were still littered across the carpet. The smell of roast turkey and mulled wine were prominent in the air, having drifted from the kitchen. Your head was resting on Harry's chest, elevating along with its subtle rise and fall.

"I wonder what Christmas will be like four years from now," he whispers. "Think we'll have a little fellow runnin' around?"

That last part painted a smile across your face. Being able to start a family with him was something you wanted more than anything. Seldom had the two of you discussed it in the months leading up to the new year. It was a big step, and you two wanted to travel before answering the call to such an important duty. It wouldn't be another two years or so before your tried for little Styles'.

"I don't know. Only time will tell," you answered, drawing a circular pattern over his shirt. "Who says our first won't be a girl, huh?" You chided in a matter-of-fact tone.

It was easier for you to say this, being the oldest of three other children. The relationship you had with your mom was close. It had to be, considering how much you found yourself helping her out. You could only hope it would be the same for you and your girl. Not only will you understand her on a deeper level, but it would be as simple as tying shoelaces to shop for her. Boys seemed far more complicated.

His dimples made a home out of his cheeks when he smiled. "They might be, I don't know. I jus' want a boy first." He shrugged after stating that.

"Boys are hard to read," you told him.

"Was I when you met me?" he asked.

This is one that made you think. "I mean, no. You're personality gave a lot about you away. You're obnoxious and outgoing, so it made sense that you're style was spunky and you liked trying new things," I explained. "Oh."

His lips pressed to the top of your head.
"See, you'll have no problem at all with our boy. But I guess if he turns out anythin' like me, we've got a tad bit of trouble on our hands."

"Only a tad?" you teased.

"Hey, rude." He chuckled, poking your side. "I wasn't that mischievous as a kid."

"I could go ask Anne if you'd like," you threatened, looking up at him with a challenging smile on your face.

"Nope, there won't be any need for that," he was quick to answer. "You proved your point."

"Good." You sat up to place a few gentle kisses along his jawline. The way it clenched encouraged you to continue. You decided to trail your kisses under his ear, and then to his collarbone. His breaths grew deeper.

"Merry Christmas to me," he joked.

"Yeah, Merry Christmas to you. Too bad we're in a house full of your family," you said.

You placed one last kiss on his Adam's apple.
