Start Of A Lifetime. (prince Harry fanfic)

Chapter 82

I apologise for the confusion, I'd accidentally published the chapter, without realising I'd sent the previews to the people I'd promised to send them to so I quickly unpublished it so I could carry on my promise. I hope you'll like the new chapter none the less. 

The following day they were all too happy to show everyone around whilst it was daylight. They were all stunned by the size of the property, despite the long driveway they had gone down.

Her grandparents along with Jesse had arrived just after lunch as they celebrated Jesse's 14th birthday that evening. Some of her family had come along as well such as Mark, Ann, Kathy, Joseph, her mum, David, Daniel and his wife Anne. She could really say anything about the last two, they'd come along with her mother.

Her family would be spending Christmas with the Middleton's who were only five minutes away by car. Sleeping arrangements had been made across Honiley and Anmer. The guest houses didn't have a kitchen yet but had working bathrooms and bedrooms. It meant that everyone had a place to put their head down. Her grandparents and Kate's parents had grown incredibly close and were going to celebrate together as they spend Christmas at Sandringham.

Her sister had done the walk of shame and had apologised countless time to Danny. It was much to Liv's amusement as she sat around the breakfast table, seeing her sister come down blushing and ashamed.

On Sunday afternoon Danny, Glen and Mia had left for Dublin, the rest remaining there. All of them planning to spend Christmas eve together with the Middleton's. She only hoped the house would still be standing.

It wasn't long after the trio had left that Liv and Harry had packed their stuff and left for Sandringham as well. All the gifts in boxes to take with them.

"Excited?" Harry wondered as they made the short drive to Sandringham. "Yes, but nervous as well. I don't really know what to expect." Liv admitted with a nervous chuckle. "It's not much different as to how you would spend Christmas together with your family. It's very casual." Harry assured her but Liv wasn't fully convinced yet but was grateful that he'd tried.

She somehow felt more pressure here than before. Like there was a certain expectation she needed to pass and then everything would be fine. She knew she was probably being paranoid, but she couldn't help it.

"I guess I'll have to find out for myself," she told him, driving the car towards the estate. "Do you think they'll like the gifts. I mean...." she paused, shaking her head a little in worry. "Merida, they'll love it. I promise," he assured her, squeezing her hand in his. "If they don't I'm hunting you down." she threatened playfully with a raised brow as she watched him from the corner of her eye.

"That's fine by me." he chuckled with a shrug of his shoulder, convinced they would love it, whilst Liv was worrying herself scared. "What was I thinking?" she thought to herself.

"I just want to warn you," Harry noted, looking at her as she drove into the driveway. "My cousins..." he started with a smile on his face. "They had a tendency to prank people. You're new to it all. So I'm afraid you're going to be the easy target for them." he warned her as she turned to him with a smirk on her face.

"Love you do realise that I'm one of the biggest pranksters myself right?" she asked him with a tilted head, whilst focussing on the driveway. "I don't mind being pranked, they'll only have to live with the consequences of those actions," she told him in amusement, the cheeky smile on her face saying more than words could. She was up for anything, bring it on, she thought to herself.

"help us all now," Harry muttered with a small shake of his head as Liv turned to him with a grin. "You scared sweetheart?" she asked him with a teasing tone, patting his leg as she parked the car.
