A/N: SOOOOOOO SORRY it took so long!! I had a really bad case of the flu that wouldn't go away (still not completely better yet) and made it impossible to write for a while. My bed and sleep being the only thing i wanted/needed. But it is finished now, so go ahead and read :)

Niall was asleep on my chest, but I was still wide awake and staring at the ceiling. A large grin on my face. I simply couldn't conceal my happiness. Sure everyone had told me Niall would say yes, they had many times. I myself kind of expected that too, yet hadn't been completely sure. Not that I could think of a reason why he wouldn't, but still. And the moment was finally there and than I was down on one knee and honestly I was scared to dead. My heart never had beaten so hard and fast. Pounding in my ears as the seconds passed, though they felt like hours and than finally the big words was out as he said yes! Oh god, the relieve that had flooded through me. The joy that spread through my body, there are no words to describe that. It was such a wonderful feeling, absolutely amazing. And I couldn't wait to make him completely mine. Yeah of course he was already my boyfriend, my partner, but it just wasn't the same. I wanted to be able to introduce him as my husband or be announced as his. I have to admit that might sound like I'm a possessive person and maybe I was, but it was really something I was looking forward to. Don't ask me why. But most of all I wanted us to be a real family. One were the parents were happily married and now that moment had become so close.

Looking down, I softly ran my fingers through the slightly damp blond hair. Smiling I watched my Niall sleep. Looking so innocent, so serene, sweet and young. Reminding me a little of the boy I had met at the X-Factor all those years ago. He did manage to lose the baby fat, if you could even call it that, over the years. Giving him a slightly slimmer, but still gorgeous face. He had turn out to be a hot young lad, but somehow always manage to stay cute.

I didn't fall in love with his looks though. I fell in love with him because besides being a great friend, he was an honest and sweet guy. Carefree, funny and always willing to help. He was a caring person with a big heart. Just look at the way he cares for and acts with Amelia. At they way he helped me ever since she was born. He didn't have to, yet he still became my rock in that difficult time. Of course it hadn't always been great or fairytale like. Come one that wasn't realistic, it's life. We had our ups and down. We had the moments we argued and yelled at each other. But we always made up and honestly the make up sex was amazing, I thought with a grin.

“Mmm Harry.” The soft murmur startled me a little as Niall snuggled closer to me. Making me realize he was still deep asleep, but unconsciously had wanted to be closer. I knew my Niall had a bit of a habit of talking in his sleep. Not much, just a few words that escaped his lips from time to time. Murmurs or mumblings that weren't always understandable, but I found it cute. Not that I told him that. Whenever I did that, he would blush and would look down shy and slightly ashamed. So I knew better than to point it out. It was one of the many things I learned about him since becoming a couple and sharing a life.

Which kind of makes me wonder if he did that too. Most likely. He was aware that it was best to leave me alone if I was upset. Though sometimes he would still come up to me and take me in his arms, hugging me without saying anything. Knowing I wasn't in the mood for talking. But there were most likely more things like that. Situation where we knew exactly how to handle it. An instinct we both had developed over the years.

I woke up the next morning to a cold bed. Blinking the sleep out of my eyes, I looked next to me and found the spot indeed empty. I was just about to wonder where Harry was when the delicious smell of someone cooking reached my nose. Immediately my stomach rumbled, but instead of going downstairs I let myself fall back against the pillows. Just enjoying the moment. It was pretty rare to have a quiet moment like this, we had Amelia after all. Not to mention our own busy band schedule. So for now I just laid back and relaxed.

It was than that the memories of the evening before came back. Smiling I lifted my left hand, so I could admire the beautiful ring there. It wasn't as simple as I would've liked, but I could definitely see why Harry had chosen it. So you wouldn't hear me complain. No, I felt honored to be wearing it. For me marriage wasn't really necessary. As I saw it, we were already a family, but I knew Harry thought about it differently and I respected that. Still to me our marriage would more be like an extra, a wonderful extra that is. It was the cherry on top of the cake, so to say.

“Good morning sunshine.” Upon hearing Harry's voice I looked up at the door. He was standing there with a tray full of food. Breakfast, I thought delightful. “How did you sleep?”

“Wonderful” I answered honestly and with a smile, as he walked over.

“I made breakfast for us.” He kind of stating the obvious as he placed the tray in the middle of the bed. “Which I know you will love.” Winking at me before sitting down next to me, on his side of the bed.

I grinned. “Don't I always.” He hummed in response as I leaned in for a kiss. Our lips meeting for a slow, soft kiss. “Hmm love you” I murmured as we parted. Staring in his beautiful green eyes.

“Love you too” he said, gently running his finger to my hair. I closed my eyes, making a purring sounds, which made him to chuckle. “Come on kitty-cat breakfast is waiting, so dig in.”

For a moment I narrowed my eyes, not liking the nickname, but than did as told. Feeling Harry move closer, making our shoulders though, before he too started eating.

Warmth filled my heart as I looked at him and smiled. Than both of us focused on the food. Enjoying each others presence as we ate our breakfast.
