I Wouldn't Love You Enough // Harry Styles ✓ [wattys 2020]

38. Big little

"'arry." I felt my body shake.

I grumbled in my sleep.

"Harry!" Anna says louder.

"Hmm?"

"It's your turn."

I huff under my breath and get off the bed. I walk to the crib in the room. As I get there, I see Ella awake and at the door of our bedroom. I tug my t-shirt over my head and throw it to the side. I pick up a crying Ember into my arms. The 6 month old baby stops crying instantly.

"Come here." I whisper to Ella who is still at the door, staring wide eyed.

The 5 year old walks quietly towards me and I make her sit in my lap on the rocking chair. I splay my huge hand across the span of Ember's small back and pat it so that she falls asleep.

"Tell me why are you awake again?" I ask Ella in a small voice while she rests her head on my bare chest and plays with Ember's little trousers.

"Em was crying." She murmurs.

"You don't have to wake up to take care of her in the middle of the night, angel." I whisper and kiss her head. "That's not very good for your health, you know that right?"

Ella simply nods.

"Dada and Mama are here to take care of little Ember here." I continue. "Waking up with a jolt is not good for your little heart, yeah?"

Ella nods but also speaks up. "Ember was just crying for a long time and I thought that maybe I should come and make her sweep."

"Sleep." I correct. "I'm sorry. Dada was just sleepy. So I took a bit of time to wake up."

"It's okay, Dada." She presses a gentle kiss on top of my chest and goes back playing with Ember's trousers.

"Can you go to sleep now? You have school tomorrow right?"

"Yeah." She mumbled and then buries her head in my chest and hugs me tightly. I adjust Ember in my arms so that I can hug Ella properly too.

"What's wrong, sweetcheeks?"

"I don't wanna go to school." She whispers, but her whispers are quite loud.

"Can I ask why?"

"No."

I chuckle. "C'mon. Won't you tell your favourite Dada?"

"I only have one Dada, Dada." She giggles.

"Tell me, you sneaky subject changer." I give her a smile as she looks up at me.

"I miss you guys when I'm at school." She says. "Mama is always busy with Ember. I love you, Ember, but Mama was all mine before."

She paused before speaking again. "And you are also home so you both are with Ember and then I'm alone at scwool. And when I'm home, I have to do homewowk."

"Aw, baby. Why didn't you tell us this before?" I press another long kiss on her temple. "Dada and Mama love you so much. And Ember is just so small. Look at her. Yeah? She cannot do things like my big little girl Ella can."

"There nothing like big little, Dada." She giggles.

"There is. That's you." I wiggle my eyebrows. "But I'll tell you one thing. When Ember will grow older, you'll be able to play with her all the time."

Ella gives me a small smile and I know she isn't satisfied.

"Hm, how about I get your uncles to go have some fun at the carnival coming up at the weekend?"

Ella's face lit up at the mention of the boys and she is almost to scream in excitement but I widen my eyes and she stops. She still flaps her arms like a baby penguin.

"Now go to bed, will you?"

"Is Em asleep?"

"Yeah. I'll put her in the crib."

Ella climbs off my lap and I get up to place my baby into the crib. Her fist automatically goes up to tuck itself under her chin. I turn to Ella who is watching intently as Ember breathes. I lean down and pick her up in my arms with an 'oomph' sound.

"My big little baby is growing up so fast." I smile and carry her up the stairs.

I tuck Ella into her bed and she smiles widely at me.

"Good night." She says.

"Sleep tight." I grin.

"Don't let the beg bugs bite!" She mumbled her words everytime which makes me laugh.

"I love you, babycakes." I press a sloppy kiss on her forehead.

She wipes her forehead with a grossed out expression which makes me chuckle. "Dada has weird nicknames. But I still love you."

"Oh, how honoured I am that you love me, my queen." I bow dramatically.

"I'm a princess! Mama is queen!" She frowns.

"Yes, my big little princess." I grin. "Now go to sleep, you."

I stand up and start walking towards the door, when I hear her small sweet voice again.

"Dada?"

"Yes, angel?" I turn around.

"Kissy?"

I smile and shower her with kisses all over her face until she can't control her giggles. When I walk back into our room, I see Anna awake.

"Why aren't you asleep?" I ask her as I climb into the bed.

"Cause you weren't here." She mumbles.

"Aw, missed your hubby?"

"Where were you?" She totally ignores what I said and asks. "You know my lazy ass was too lazy to go check up on you."

"What if someone kidnapped me?"

"Well, I'll let them kidnap you. At least I'll get rid of the pain in my ass."

"Oh, baby, you told me you love getting fucked in the ass?"

Anna gasps loudly and smacks my hip. "There's a child sleeping in your room, Mr. Styles."

"Yeah, Mrs. Styles. Sleeping being the keyword."

Anna looks at me with an what-the-fuck-Styles expression which I have become quite familiar with.

"I'm not doing anything with you when our baby is asleep right there." She smiles sweetly.

"Oh my goodness, Anna. I didn't even think about it, you nasty little creature!" I gasp dramatically.

"Goodness gracious, Styles. Just go to sleep." She shakes her head fondly. "I claim to be the big spoon."

So I smile and turn in her arms as I let her body engulf me. Everybody likes to be the little spoon.

"Good night, weirdo." Anna yawns.

"Good night, queen."
