 11 P.M.

Pulling a very tired Harry through Saks was not how I envisioned this morning going, but in my haste to pull this party together, I'm on a late mission to find Zoe one last addition to her present. I ordered an LV never full bag and a few cute outfits for the babe but felt it was missing something. "Darling, couldn't I have stayed in the car?" Harry moans, following me like a zombie around the baby section. 

"I'm sorry love, but I need help finding something" I reply, scanning the area. Zoe was having a boy so being the good bestie I was, I bought every cute thing possible. "How about this?" Harry questions, holding a soft bear stuffy waiting for approval. "That's perfect, thank you" I exclaim before wrapping him in a hug and buying the toy before leaving to get ready.

"Darling, are you ready yet?" Harry questions before cautiously opening the bedroom door. "Just one second!" I squeak, running about trying to find my other heel. "You look like a mad man" He laughs, leaning against the table in the middle of the room. "Oh ha-ha, you're so funny" I reply, rolling my eyes as I pull on my heel. "I'm joking. Are you ready?" He asks, watching me critique my outfit in the mirror. After smoothing out my skirt and grabbing my bag, I nodded and smiled at the lanky man.

"You look hot" He states cheekily, earning a smack to the chest as he locks the door and we head to his car parked in the garage. A short ride to the venue was filled with nervous texts from Zoe and Harry singing Elton john songs earning a giggle or two from me. "Ready?" Harry asks, putting his car in park, nodding his head towards the florists delivery trucks pulling in. "Oh my love, this is child's play" I giggle, hopping out and waving at the florist.

Walking into the venue, I see the decorator I hired worked just to Penny's and I's requests. The balloons were shaped nicely, the blue and pink contrasting each other. Somewhere in one of those balloons was a ball of paint just waiting to be popped open. "Oh my goodness!"

I hear Zoe's small voice behind me as she walks in, making our heads turn. "Do you like it?" The abnormally loud assistant at my side asks, shocking both of us. "Are you kidding? I love it!" She squeals, and before we know it, the party is off without a sitch!

"Everyone, gather around! It's time for the gender reveal" I shout over the loud music, Harry now at my side with his hand around my waist. As people start to gather, Zoe grabs my hand and hauls me to the front with her. "We didn't get into this together but we're sure handling it together" She jokes, pointing to her large 9-month bump. "You naughty girl!" I giggle, handing her half of the darts. 

Peeking over my shoulder, I meet Harry's eyes which are full of love, making me blush. "Three, Two, One!" The group yells, and Zoe and I start chucking. Letting the short lady hit the last balloon, it shoots out blue goo. "Oh my god!" Zoe squeaks, pulling me down to her height for a bear hug before rushing to her husband. Making my way back to Harry, he pulls me into a tight hug.

Pulling down the last streamer, I turn to tell the very pregnant woman were done to be met with the sight of her pulling a face like a child eating a sour patch kid. "Zoe, are you okay?" I ask, climbing off of the ladder. The boys were outside, probably discussing sports and leaving us to the cleaning. "Okay, I may have broken my waters last night" Zoe trails, releasing her face. "Zoe! Are you in labor?" I question, running to the door to get the men. 

"Okay, but I didn't want to ruin the party!" She insists, letting me help her get up while the boys bring a car around. "Babe, we could've done this after! Let's get you to the hospital" I say, helping her into car climbing in the driver side. "I'll go with him and get the bag then I'll go watch elk" Harry says, placing a kiss on my cheek before I take off. The poor pup couldn't be alone all day and all night.

After many hours of labor, Zoe finally popped out a 9-pound whopper! 

Letting Harry into the maternity ward, I explain the basics and push open her door. "Hey, congrats Zoe!" He chirps, watching me relieve her from the infant so she could go to the bathroom. "It pays to have an amazing godmother like you" She jokes, patting my shoulder on the way to the bathroom."Want to hold him?" I ask, watching the man shake at the sight of the baby. 

That will never not make me laugh. 

Setting the baby in his arms, He supports the head while I lean over him, sneaking a peek at the still snoozing infant. "What do you think?" I giggle, leaning down and playing with the baby's lip that was poking out. "I want one. Right now." Harry says, as deadly serious like the sea. "What?" I ask, thinking my ears have deceived me. "I want to have a baby soon" He restates, looking into my eyes. "You want a baby?" I clarify, watching his curls bob while he nods. "Okay, we'll have a baby" I reply, smiling while he rocks the infant, my mind swimming at his proposition. 

9 p.m.

Opening the door to a very annoyed puppy, harry and I kick off our shoes and coats. "Hello, love lets go to bed. Shall we?" I ask the small dog, heading towards our cozy bedroom. Pulling off my outfit, I peek my head into the bathroom to see if Harry was going to shower. "Shower with me" He asks, holding his paw out for me to take. Rolling my eyes, I nod and turn on the large shower and grab some pajamas for after before climbing in. 

"Jesus Christ, could you make this any hotter?" Harry questions, turning the knob towards the left for colder water. "Hey! I was enjoying that" I exclaim, crossing my arms and glaring at him. "Here, turn around. I'll wash your hair, crabby" He jokes, pouring some shampoo on his hands. Turning around, harry lathers my long hair with the mint shampoo before spinning me around so it washes out and doing the same with the conditioner. "My turn" He says excitedly, pulling me out of the warm water. "Harry, I can't reach your head dummy" I moan, rolling my eyes when he cranes his head back to my level. "Better, crabby girl?" He questions, giggling at the new nickname. 

"Yes" I grumble, running my hands through his long hair before telling him to wash it out and climbing it out, wrapping a towel around my body as Harry did the same. "I put your thing on the bed if you want to open it" He says, gesturing towards the box. Excitedly, I pull on my pajamas before bounding over to the bed and grabbing a pair of scissors to open it. "Slow down" Harry giggles, watching my pull open the box. Pulling open the lid exposes a cardboard slab, confusing me as I pull it out. "What the heck..?" I question, examining it before harry starts giggling. "Babe, turn it around" He states, making me feel like a dumb ass. Flipping it, the front says "Only the best friends get promoted to godmother". 

"Oh my gosh, I love it!" I exclaim, grabbing my phone and sending Zoe a yes text before setting the sign carefully on my bedside dresser and cleaning up the mess. "How sweet" Harry hums, getting cozy in bed while I pop in a movie. "Very" I reply, plopping down on the bed. A moment of comfortable silence passes before Harry pipes up. "Do you want to have kids?" He questions, surprising me. 

"Uh, yes? why, do you?" I question leaning on my elbow and looking at him. "When it works into my schedule obviously, maybe in the winter after all your lines go out" He replies, earning a nod from me. "Very specific and considerate, I'm shocked" I laugh before laying down in his arms with Elk on my lap before falling asleep thinking about Harry's question.
