Chapter 17

Brielle

"Harry?! Harry!" I screamed as I came down the hallway and Harry appeared seconds later from the darkness of the hallway. "Ssh." He said and gently took my arm to see our babies. "I missed you, Honey." He said and kissed me before opening the door to Jasmine's room. Tears began to escape from my eyes and Harry wiped them with his thumb. "She's so beautiful." I whispered and he nodded. "She has your eyes. But she looks exactly like me." He said with that sexy smirk on his face, visibly showing his dimples. "Next room." He said and I nodded as he took my hands, leading me to the boy's rooms. When we got in there, Prince was already wide awake and starting to cry. "Of course. He's fussy like you." I said as I watched Harry pick him up slowly and lay him in his arms. "Ha ha." He said, mocking me. "Jasmine is just as fussy." I shook my head no. "I've only just gotten here and I know which one you spoil the most out of them all." I said with a grin on my face and he walked over and kissed me. "I'm really happy with you, Bri. Thank you. I haven't gotten the opportunity to tell you how much you truly mean to me. You're special and I like that about you. You didn't want me for my money. You didn't want me for my looks either. You looked inside of me and saw the dark side and stayed through it all. And I'm sorry that I screw up sometimes an-" I stopped him right there and crashed my lips into his. "I love you, Harry." I said and he smiled. "And I love you." We spent the rest of the night laughing at the children and playing with them, just enjoying each other's company before he had to go back on tour in a few months.

Harry

I laid there in bed beside Bri and watched her chest rise and fall as she slept, not moving an itch. As I heard one of the babies cry for the hundredth time tonight, I stood up and yawned until my feet decided to move down the hallway to Jas' room. "Why are you crying now, baby girl?" I asked her and say down in the chair next to her crib while I picked her up and laid her in my arms. "I'll get you to sleep again." She opened her eyes, exposing her bright green eyes and reached her hand out to touch my face. "You are my sunshine.." I started singing to her and her eyes gently closed. "My only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. I love you, little Jasmine. So don't you take my sunshine away." I said and felt myself going to sleep as well. I laid my head back In the rocking chair and shut my eyes with Jasmine.

The next day

Harry

"Brielle, my sweet Brielle. Someday when we're old and wrinkled. You'll read this and when you do, I want you to think of me. Of all the great times we shared before, during, and after our kids. The times we had together, good and bad. Baby you've changed me for the better. You are my light at the end of a dark tunnel and I can't help but wonder and be scared of life without you. You mean so much to me that life before you doesn't matter. It's like it didn't happen nor was it important. Yeah, I have my band and my fans and my career but none of that compares to you. To what I have with you. This is my promise to you. You had me at hello and someday, at goodbye as well when we're both old and on our death beds. I love you, Bri. Maybe you'll find this this morning when you wake up, next week, next year, or maybe even after I'm long gone to heaven. But I just wanted you to know how much you've changed my life for the better and given me so much of yourself that no one can compare.

Yours truly, Harry xx"

I sealed the letter and quickly placed it behind her favorite book in our library and went to the kitchen to make her favorite breakfast. Maybe I wasn't a good husband before, but I've learned now. I'll be the best for her and give her what she deserves. Happiness.
