Soft Side

Chapter fourty-six

It had been almost three weeks since Harry had gone back on tour and now he was on his way back home. I couldn't wait to be able to show him Ariella's nursery and see him hold his princess in his arms again. I couldn't wait to be in his arms again; to feel his lips against mine and have his hand hold mine in his larger ones. I had missed him more than ever and needed him back with me for some extra support with our baby. While I was sat beside the incubator, scrolling through my photos with our daughter asleep beside me, I found a photo of Harry. It was a photo I had taken during the tour before I had our baby. Harry sat looking towards the crowd wearing the black and white shirt I had chosen for him. A green bandanna was in his hair and a smile on his lips. It was a beautiful photo.

I looked up hearing the familiar voice I knew and loved, my heart pounding at the sound of it. Harry. I grin as I run over to him, leaping into his arms with my face buried into his neck inhaling his Chanel scent. "I've missed you so much" I whisper into his neck, a smile on my lips as I press them against his, moving them slowly in sync whilst still being in his arms. He smiles, kissing me back before putting me down. A smile on his lips as he nudged his nose against mine.

"How's my princess?" He asks, placing his duffel bag down and walking over to the incubator. Ariella was still in there, but had grown a bit bigger since last time and it was almost time for her to go home. He walked over quietly, standing beside the incubator with a wide smile on his lips. "Hey darling" He says softly, placing his hand into the incubator with a soft smile, "daddy's home" he continues as I smile, placing my hand on his back and looking at the door as the doctor walks in with a grin.

"I've got good news" he beams as we raise our eyebrows, looking at him with eager eyes to continue. "So Ariella has grown enough and were happy for her to go home in the next two days. She can come out of the incubator now but need to keep her in definitely tonight to ensure she's okay without it" He smiles with a grin as I beam happily, looking up at Harry. I noticed a tear in his eye as he smiles down at his daughter. The doctor lifted the lid of the incubator off, causing Harry to look at me as to why I wasn't picking the baby up.

"I think daddy needs a cuddle" I grin as he smiles wide before lifting the baby gently into his arms. His eyes watered as he looks at his daughter in his arms. Her hands reached up and her eyes opened, Harry whispering soft words to her as he then turned to look at me. "Hey daddy" I whisper softly as he smirks at me, leaning forward to kiss my lips. He settled on the chair with me beside him. His right arm laid across my shoulders as his left arm held the small baby close to his body, looking between the two of us. He suited this. I smile softly as the door opens, revealing Niall, Louis and Becky.

Becky looked confused, looking beside us at where the incubator was before she had gone. I smile softly, nodding down to Harry's arms as she grins, tearing up. "You look like a real little family" she whispers as I nod happily, touching our baby's cheek. "Why don't you take Harry to see Ariella's room" Becky suggests as I smile softly and nod as Harry places the small sleeping girl in the plastic hospital cot that replaced her incubator. I smile softly, his hand falling into mine as he grabs his duffel bag again, walking out of the door after agreeing that the three of them would look after our small girl for us while we revisited what was now our home.

We arrived at the front of the building, walking up the set of stairs and into the front door. I walk down the corridor, smiling behind me at Harry as we walk into the room that used to be Becky's. A smile formed on Harry's lips as he looked at the room before him, his fingers running over the walls and over the shelves, smiling softly. "I can't believe we have a nursery and a baby to go in it" he whispers softly as I nod happily. His body turns, walking slowly over and pressing his lips against mine. I hum, wrapping my arms around his neck as he lifts me up slowly. Our bodies slowly moved to the bedroom, laying down on the bed as his lips moved slowly and tenderly with mine. Nothing was rushed, nothing was fast, everything was gentle.

His fingers gently ran under my top, running against my stomach softly as he moved my top up and slowly slipped it off. I smile softly up at him, touching his cheek gently as he leans into it. I loved everything about him, especially this gentle side to him. His lips slowly brushed against mine again as his jeans were slid down his body with his boxers. He moved his body closer, moving it against mine gently. Love filled the room. We felt in a different place since having Ariella, feeling more in love every day with each other. I groan softly as he grunts, our bodies moving in a rhythm as I look into his eyes before closing them and arching my back. It was an intimate moment, having not felt this kind of love in a long time because of the baby.

I smile softly as Harry slides his jeans up his long legs, running a hand through his hair as I walk over, kissing him gently as he hums against my lips. We grabbed his keys, heading back down to the car with a smile before heading back to the hospital. "I've missed you" I say softly as we walk back towards the room.

"I've missed you too, so much" He says softly as he opens the door, finding Becky and Louis shouting at each other under their breath. Becky caught sight of us, storming past with Louis in tail. What was that? I noticed Louis look at Harry, shooting him a look as if to say 'don't ask' before following the brunette.

"What was that about?" I ask raising my eyebrows at Niall who held his hands up.

"I have no idea, all I know is they kept telling each other to keep the shouting quiet so as not to wake Ari" Niall shrugs. I shrug softly, sitting back on the Harry's lap as Niall raises his eyebrows. "I hope she's not going to be a sister yet" he laughs, a shake of my head assuring me that it wasn't about to happen.

I really needed to find out what that was all about from Becky.

"I need to find out" I shrug softly, "Since she's moved into Louis' flat and everything" I continue."They don't have the space to be arguing like this" I sigh as Harry smiles, rubbing my shoulder gently.

"It's going to be fine, it's not like they're sharing a bed or anything" he laughs as I shrug, grabbing my phone to text her to find out what was wrong. She never replied.
