The Perfect Match.

Finally It's Christmas

(This chapter was done as a Christmas gift to my readers in 2017. It is set in the future on purpose. I have a lot of people comment why I have never moved it to the end of the story. I never did because I had a select audience that was reading these chapters as I was writing and publishing them in 2017. So, I left the order of the chapters just like they were when I was live-writing them. Hope this clears up the confusion. Thanks for reading.☺️

—————————————————————

The Range Rover goes slowly through the snow as Louis is looking around at his hometown once more; a smile crosses his lips when he sees the snow covering the houses.

He turns on his street and sees the familiar home... the home he grew up in.

He pulls in the driveway and glances at Harry next to him, sleeping away; he looks so peaceful and Louis doesn't want to wake him. He knows if he doesn't however, that his sisters will be out here in no time.

He looks in the back seats, seeing Emma asleep with headphones in her ears, Olivia asleep with her pillow against the window, and in the back, Jayden and Dominick are both out lying on their football and Batman pillows.

Louis smiles to himself and wonders where the time has gone; Emma is 18, getting ready for college, Olivia is now 10 and adores her older sister so much, even with the age difference.

And their precious twins are now 8 year old little rascals who are always playing, fighting, but loving one another.

He gently caresses Harry's arm and speaks softly, "hey, love, we're here."

Harry moves a little and looks up at the 2 story home. "Jesus... felt like I had just fallen asleep."

Louis smiles fondly at his husband, "they're all asleep still. It's gonna be hell waking those 2 boys."

"No, I think they'll be ok," Harry grins and stretches some, "wow, so much snow. God, Lou... I'm so glad we came."

"So am I," Louis sighs and stops the engine, sticking the keys in his pocket.

Harry puts on his suede coat and pulls the hood up over his long, flowing curls before stepping out of the Rover.

He first opens Olivia's door while Louis is opening Emma's.

"Hey, babe, we're here," Harry gently says to Olivia as he's brushing her cheek with his hand.

She opens her eyes, yawning, "are we? Great. I can't wait to see Aunt Lottie and Uncle Tommy. Do you think Carter is awake?"

"I don't know," Harry smiles at her while she's unbuckling and grabbing her pillow along with her backpack from the floor. "He's probably still asleep. It's rather early."

She shrugs and smiles while she's climbing out of the SUV.

Emma is doing the same on the other side, her purse and backpack in her hand. "Dad, it's been ages since we've seen this place."

"We came last Christmas," Louis smirks before he's trying to wake their rowdy twins.

"I know... just feels different now," Emma says so quietly.

Louis knows what she means by that... how could he not?

Lottie's rushing out the front door in no time, throwing her arms around Harry first.

"Hey, big brother. How are ya?" She asks him with a giant grin on her face.

"I'm incredibly wonderful," Harry smiles and kisses her cheek, "and how are you?"
