Chapter 46 ~ 1st Birthday

Seven months passed since the wedding, and since Jade told me she was pregnant, and at that point she was one month pregnant. We went through the same routines as we did with Mikayla, to make sure Jade was okay and everything was going well. The highlight of the pregnancy for me was the ultrasounds where I could see my baby inside Jade. Though I saw Mikayala I didn't feel the same as I did with this baby.

I believe it was because this one was mine, I felt an emotional tug when I saw it. We again decided we'd wait until the birth to find out the gender of the baby, because why not? 

"Guys, I think we should get names ready, we're a month away and we have no names" Jade said as she sat with her feet up on the coffee table. 

"Well, I think we should plan Mikayla's birthday that's in two days"  Harry said as he sat with Mikayla on the floor. She was playing with her toys and it was harder to keep an eye on her when she's crawling. 

"Oh my gosh! How could I forget" Jade face plamed herself. I lightly chuckled and gently patted her leg.

"Baby brain" I teased and she hit me. "Ow! Harry" I whined, hoping he'd back me up.

"You said it, you deserve it" I pouted and he pouted back.

"Whatever" I rolled my eyes. 

It's strange how Mikayla is already one, it wasn't long ago she was born, and now she's one. Harry sat with her, he was trying to get her to speak. I knew it would be a while for her to talk, but no harm in trying early.

"Mikayla, say daddy" he said in baby tone. "Daddy" he repeated. She just looked up at him and laughed and stuffed a wodden block in her mouth. "No" he scolded her and pulled the object from her mouth.

She began to cry and Harry tried everything in his power for her to stop. He played with the toys, tried cooing to her, even bouncing her in his lap. But it didn't work. 

"I think someone needs a nap" Jade interrupted. "Harry" 

"Yeah, I'll get her ready" Harry sighed and took a crying Mikayla to her room for her nap. 

"I can't believe she's one" Jade said. "It's incredible" 

"I know. It seems like yesterday I was holding her when she was born" we smiled at the memory. "Well let's get planning"

Two days passed fast and it was the morning of Mikayla's birthday. We had planned just for Liam, Niall and my mum to come over at lunch time. I even invited Anne, for one reason only. Harry needed to talk to her. They haven't spoken in over a year. The last time would have been a month before Mikayla was born.

We sat Mikayla down on the floor and Harry helped her unwrap her presents. She sat between his legs and he pulled the paper a little bit then let her rip it off herself. She sqealed with delight at the sound of ripping paper, and it made me think about how life as a baby is great.

I was recording the action going on. Majority of the things she got was just more toys like bears and fairies and also clothes. 

"Mikayla" I called. She looked up at me, and squealed. "Hi Mikayla" she giggled and hit the wrapped up box in front of her.

"Harry what are we doing?" I asked for the camera. Harry looked up and smiled widely. 

"We're celebrating Mikayla's first birthday" he smiled. I moved the camera over to Jade who sat there smiling at the father daughter moment. 

"And how is the mother to be feeling today?" she frowned at me. 

"Fine, thanks" I laughed and turned the camera to face me.
