The Only Exception (H. Styles/ Bwwm)

Chapter Twenty Nine

The breeze hitting me cooling me down as I sat on the beach. This was heaven. No phone, no drama just relaxation with my two loves.

I jumped hearing Gabby scream my name running towards me soaking wet. She collided with me pushing me back making me squeal at the sudden wetness. She giggled wrapping her arms around me.

"Daddy said come get you" she said pulling away as Harry walked over to us. I looked over to him shirtless with the water running and dripping down his perfectly tattooed chest and torso. I couldn't help but smile trying to calm down.

He winked smirking at me "She wanted to make a sand castle" he explained as I looked back at her. "Please" she asked and I nodded. "Okay but after, we're gonna head back to the hotel to shower and get ready for dinner. Daddy's taking us out" I said as she nodded jumping excitedly.

This was a well needed weekend getaway for us. Instead of being so worried and stressed about stuff, we just enjoyed this as a family. Our phones stayed in the room and were barely checked and I was so happy about it.

My mother was right, I had to focus on what I had in front of me. Happiness. I'll be damned if I ever give it up.

He walked over to us helping us up holding Gabby in one arm and me in the other. He kissed her head making her giggle then kissed mine. Only thing, I had to pull him back for another kiss. Don't think I could ever get used to this, it just always felt so refreshing, like our first time...

"You better stop" he warned smirking as I pulled away licking my lips. I'll calm down for now but, I need him to wear a shirt. My body can't take it. Not even a shirt will calm me down.

I pulled away moving to the front of our spot and grabbed her bucket walking towards the water. By the time I got back, they were already in the sand starting. Neither really knew what they were doing but they were trying. But all that mattered was the smiles on their faces, how truly happy they were together. This was mine.

I just smiled walking back over to them repeating it over and over trying to believe it.

This was my happy family.

I laid there in silence letting my hands go through her dark brown curls watching her as she slept. Just a mini Harry in girl form. Couldn't help but smile watching her closely as his fingers ran up and down my back.

Today was a busy day, we tried to fit everything in today. Breakfast, pool, shopping, lunch, the amusement park for Gabby then beach and now bed. Gabby was up since seven excited and she got to do everything she wanted. By the time we got back from dinner, she was passed out.

She didn't even want to get up for her bath but, I managed and now she was fast asleep in his arms beside us.

I was a bit bummed that this went so quickly. So busy having fun, the time flew.

"I don't want to leave" he whispered out making me look up to him as he looked at me. I chuckled shaking my head taking a deep breath. "Me either... we deserved it-" "You deserve it" he whispered.

I sat up looking at him "We deserve it...just a great weekend alone from everything" I smiled and he returned it nodding. "Soon, I need a little getaway vacation with you" "What do you have in mind?" he sat there smiling a bit thinking.

"I don't know if I want to tell you just yet. Kinda of want to surprise you even though I know you hate them" I smiled back excited "Another weekend getaway?" "Unless you want to do a whole week" he stated looking at me the same way I looked at him unsure.

"I don't think I can stay away from my baby for a whole week" I whispered out making him laugh nodding and agreeing. "Me either so... a weekend it is" he simply stated without a problem. I couldn't help but get even more excited. I didn't know where or when we would have this but, I was excited for it.
