Harry pov: I had to drag Ashton out of bed. Today we would find out the gender of our babies. “Babe, wake up.” I said. She groaned. “The babies and I aren’t feeling it.” She said tiredly. “Come on, I ran you a hot bath.” Slowly, Ashton got up. I held her hand and walked her into the bathroom. I helped rid her of her clothes since the babies were in the way of bending ways she use to be able to. I was squatted down taking her socks off. I stood up kissing her belly on the way. I helped her into the tub. Her body relaxed. “My back hurts so bad..” She whined. “I know, I know. It’s the babies letting you know they love you.” I laughed and she smiled. “They’re already a pain in the back!” I said laughing at my horrible joke. Ashton laughed. “Okay, I can finish myself.” She said. I kissed her forehead and walked out. She’s getting more stubborn by the day. The babies are wearing her out and it’s only been five and a half months. A little while later Ashton emerged from the bathroom with a towel in her hair and one around her body. “This okay?” I asked pointing to the clothes I picked out for her. “Yeah, except this doesn’t fit me anymore.” She laughed tossing the bra aside and grabbing a larger one. She got dressed then dried her hair. She put it up in a bun. I smiled because she was wearing jeans and one of my button up plaid shirts that she looked absolutely adorable in. She tucked the shirt into her jeans. “Will you put my shoes on me?” She asked innocently. I nodded slipping on her slide on shoes. “Ready?” I asked. She smiled widely and nodded. She put my sunglasses on. “Wait. Stay right there.” I said rushing to get my phone. She laughed. “Smile, love.” I opened the camera and snapped a picture of her standing sideways, looking at me smiling with her hand on her bulging belly. I put it on Instagram and captioned it, “About to go see the genderrrrrr :)” “Let’s go see what you two are!” She said patting her belly and walking out to the car. Paps arrived at the hospital when we were going inside. I held onto Ashton all the way to her room. The excitement was unbearable. I wanted to find out right now. “Hi, how are you two doing today?” The doctor asked sweetly. “Good, thanks. Eager.” Ashton answered squeezing my hand. “If you’d please lift your shirt.” Ashton simply unbuttoned far enough for the doctor to do what she needed. “Alright… Let’s see here. Baby A is a girl!” She smiled. Ashton kept her eyes on the screen. “Oh my. Baby B is a girl as well!” She cleaned up Ashton and and she buttoned her shirt back up before flinging herself into my arms. Ashton pov: Happy tears fell freely down my cheeks. I held Harry tightly in a hug. Once I had calmed down and not looked like I was crying I pulled away. “Two princesses.” Harry smiled. He kissed my lips and I smiled. “This is so exciting. I can’t wait! We can finally decide on names!” Harry gushed. I smiled and took his hand. “Uh, okay I don’t know which way to go with this. You can’t walk in front of me because they’ll rip you to shreds. So, um, behind?” Harry panicked upon seeing the swarm of paparazzi outside. I was quite scared. I nodded and wrapped my arms around his waist. I hid my face between his shoulder blades. Harry pushed through the cameras. Paps were pushing and shoving and getting all up in our business. “Harry I’m getting hot.” I panted clamping my eyes shut. I felt claustrophobic. This was not going to end well. Horrible, awful things were asked and shouted at me. Harry turned his head and opened his mouth but I shushed him. “Baby, not today. Come on. The car isn’t that far away.” I said hiding the fact that I was incredibly hurt emotionally. The shouting became unbearable. I let go of Harry for a split second to wipe the sweat from my forehead and I was pulled to the ground. I shrieked and put my hands over my stomach. My hair was pulled and the ponytail was long gone. I was protecting the hell out of the babies and Harry couldn’t make his way through. I was panting. My eyes clamped shut until I heard manly screams and looked up to see Harry literally beating paparazzi up. “Oh my god, angel are you okay?” He asked. I didn’t answer. He helped me up. “Are all three of my girls okay?” He asked pressing our foreheads together once we were away from the paparazzi. I nodded and sniffled. “Yeah, we are fine. Just, I don’t know..” Harry rubbed my back. “I’m so so sorry… I was too dumb to use a different door. This is all my fault..” Harry said looking down. “No it’s not. Stop. Please don’t even say that.” I cried into his chest. We stood there hugging until we had both calmed down. “Come on, we have yet another dinner to host.” Harry laughed and opened the door for me. This time our family wouldn’t be here, my parents, Greg, Denise and Theo are in Ireland. Harry’s mum, stepdad and sister are on a short holiday. The only relative would be Niall. I started dinner and skyped my parents. “Hi mum! We found out the genders today.” I smiled placing my hand on my stomach. Harry sat next to me. “Oh! What are they?” My mum asked happily. “Greg, Denise! Get in here!” She yelled out. My dad smiled. They came in and smiled upon seeing Harry and I. “So, what are our grand babies?” My dad asked. “Well, they’re both girls.” Harry said smiling. “Yay! I’m so happy for you guys!” Greg said smiling. “So is baby Theo, huh buddy?” “Ya!” He shouted smiling toothlessly. A few teeth had grown in by now, but definitely not all of them. I smiled. “Getting fat, yeah?” Greg joked. “Ah, shut it. I got two baby girls in here, Gregory. Hush it.” He laughed and I couldn’t fight the smile on my face. “Well, we still have to tell Harry’s mum. I’ll call you later, okay?” They agreed and I hung up. I called Anne. “Hi! What are my grand babies?” Anne asked excitedly. Gemma was beside her and Robin was walking in. “Both very healthy girls.” I smiled. We talked for a bit and Harry announced that he was tired so he was going to go into our room. He kissed my cheek and walked off. “He’s exhausted. Getting up early in the morning because he thinks that a good breakfast is going to help the girls. He does everything in his power so I don’t do any work or anything.” Anne smiled. “So, you got mobbed today?” She asked. I frowned. “Yeah. Harry felt like it was all his fault and it took forever for me to convince him otherwise. He does way too much for me. I mean, it helps because these kids are gonna be the death of me, haha. But, I think sometimes he forgets that he’s only human too. He feels bad if he can’t do something, find something or buy something. Sometimes I just want to sit him down and force him to sleep.” I laughed. “But, he’s only trying to help.” I finished with a shrug. “Aw, he’s going to be a great dad.” I agreed with Anne. “Well, I’ve got to finish cooking so the boys can come over. I’ll talk to you later!” I smiled waving. “Bye, darling. See you soon.” Then we hung up. Just as I finished everyone arrived. “Where’s daddy?” Niall teased. “Oh, I’ll go wake him.” I walked up the steps and into our room. “Harry, everyone’s here.” I said softly putting my hand on his shoulder. He’s the lightest sleeper ever. He rolled over crushing my finger. “Ow.” Was my reaction and I regretted it as soon as he jumped up and faced me with wide eyes. “Are you okay? Did I hurt the girls? Oh my gosh.” “No, no, no. I’m sorry, it was just my reaction when you rolled over on my finger. It didn’t really hurt that bad. I don’t know why I said ow. I’m sorry for scaring you.” I sat on his lap. He hugged me. “I just wanted to tell you that everyone’s here. I wasn’t sure if you were still tired or not.” I said slouching my back to try to get some comfort in my stomach. “No, I’m wide awake now. You’re gonna need help anyways.” Harry stretched out and I stood up. “Harry… I love everything you do for me. You’re an incredible help. But, sometimes you need to remember to breath yourself. I always feel bad because you do so much for me and at the end of the day, you’re exhausted. Just, for the rest of the day, I think you should just help when I ask you to, okay? I want you to be okay as well.” I smiled putting my hand in his. He nodded slowly. “Okay, but what if you’re being stubborn and you need help but you don’t say anything?” Harry asked. I sighed. “Then go for it.” I laughed and we went downstairs. I left the food in the kitchen and let everyone get their own food. This time I went first. I was starving as well as the girls. Once everyone was sitting around the house I called up everyone’s attention. “So, our babies finally have a gender.” I announced with a small laugh. “Two, happy, healthy baby girls.” Harry finished for me. Everyone cheered. “What’s their names?” Zayn asked. “We haven’t decided yet.” After we ate I went by myself to make dessert. I was doing just fine until I couldn’t reach the big bowl and couldn’t open the dumb jar of marshmallow stuff. I gasped when I realized I hadn’t put the chocolate chips in yet. I hurried to do so. I went back to trying to open the jar. I gave up after a minute then stirred the mixture so far. The electric mixer broke and this was tiring to do by hand. I swore to myself and started crying. Honestly, I’m not even sure why I started crying. These kids are causing my hormones to go bananas. Harry walked his way into the kitchen all smiles until he saw my face. “Baby, what’s wrong?” He asked standing in front of me. “I was wrong. With these kids I can not be independent. I tried to make dessert and failed so badly. I can’t open that jar. I can’t reach the bowl, I can’t do anything. I’m just stressed out. My hormones are all over the place. I’m sorry.” I wiped under my eyes and threw what I had made of the dessert away. “No, no, don’t be sorry. It’s alright, calm down. I’m helping you for a reason, Ashton. I’m not belittling you or anything. I just know how this goes. It’s fine. Come on, let’s go back to our party, yeah?” I took a deep breath and nodded. We came back in and I sat next to Harry on the fluffy couch. “I was gonna suggest naming the baby after me, but, they’re girls so, whatever.” Niall joked. I smiled and leaned my head on Harry’s shoulder. For the rest of the party I did most of the work. I got up, got things and Harry did the heavy things which wasn’t a lot. I hugged Niall and Alayna goodbye, they’re always last to leave, and shut the door. Slowly but surely, I walked to the steps. Harry was already up there taking a shower. I turned around and decided to shower in the downstairs bathroom. I quickly showered and went upstairs. I am exhausted. These kids are wearing me out and Harry has to take a three month tour in a few weeks. I’m a panicking mess. I changed into fluffy pajama pants and one of Harry’s jumpers. As usual. I laid in bed and waited for him. I wondered what was taking him so long but my thoughts soon disappeared after I watched him walk out with a towel around his waist. He got dressed also and laid next to me. “I’m exhausted.” I said quietly. “Let’s go to bed.” Harry situated comfortably. “I love you.” “Love you too. And my babies.” Harry smiled placing a hand on my stomach and letting me somewhat cuddle up to him.
