"I'm not sure, what if he needs me?" Lila's pretty eyes, filled with worry meet mine.

Her dad had insisted on taking Haven for the night so we could have some time alone. I was all for it but my love was a little more anxious.

"He's been before, he'll be fine" I use my hands to rub up and down her back. "Okay" she nods. "Will you erm pack a bag? Remember his giraffe teddy and I'll go tell dad"

"Of course. Go on" I kiss the top of her head, a smile instantly appearing on her face.

She leans up, cupping my cheeks lovingly. "I love you"

The words still made me giddy. "I love you more, now go I want to give you your gift" I peck her lips once more but she goes in for another kiss, then another. "I'll go now", with a huge smile she leaves the room.

I quickly grab Havens bag, putting in everything he'd need. I knew he'd be in safe hands so I was okay with him going, plus I wanted Lila to myself tonight.

Once I had everything I ready I walk out to the living room. My heart melts when I see Lila peppering Haven in kisses, his mouth is wide open and he's giggling tiredly whilst trying to hold on to Lila. It was way past his bed time, my poor baby wanted to stay awake for the party.

"Here you go, sir" I hand the bag over to Lila's dad. "How many times kid? It's Luke and you take care of my girl" He pats my back.

"I will" I nod.

We both face Lila and Taylor, both of them busy with Haven. "They're good women, we're the lucky ones" luke says softly.

"I feel lucky every day"

"Good, you should. I know she loves you a lot, don't ever think about hurting her" he squeezes my shoulder tightly then goes to Lila. I gulp, following him.

"Ready?" Luke asks. Lila hands over Haven to Taylor and he easily goes to her.

"Okay go, before I change my mind" Lila chuckles. "Okay okay, bye love" Taylor kisses her cheek then comes over to me, giving me a quick hug.

"Be good, Havey baby" I kiss his little nose then it's Lila's turn. She leans down, kissing his forehead and cheeks. "I love you" she whispers in his ear then lets him go.

They soon leave and Lila shuts the door to face me. Silence filled the space between us.

"Just us now" I give her a smile. She nods walking over to me, a playful smirk on her perfect lips. Her arms wrap around my shoulders and mine automatically go around her waist.

"Go to the bedroom, let me get your gift"

She nods, "okay", she slips past me and I watch her walk away, a little skip in her walk, I realise that I'm completely smitten.

When she disappears around the corner I make my way to the living room, going past all the mess that I'll clean up tomorrow. I head straight for the decorated tree, reaching under it to grab a neatly wrapped box. I won't lie, my mum wrapped it for me.

With the box in my hands I go to our room, she's sat criss cross on the bed, an envelope in her hands.

"What's that?" I ask sitting beside her, on the edge of the bed.

"Your present" she holds it out. "Thanks, darling" I lean kissing her warm cheek, "here's yours" I hand over the box and she takes it with a thankful smile.

"Should we do it at the same time or-"

"You first" I insist. I wanted to see the look on her face and I couldn't do that if I was looking at what she got me.

"You did not wrap this" She chuckles, delicately ripping the festive paper. "You got me, mum did" I admit.

"I love your mum, she got me a cute purse, did you see it?" She asks whilst carefully unwrapping the box. I hum a yes, watching until she's left with a matte black box with a gold logo printed on top.

"You did not" she faces me with a huge smile. "I did" I nod. She then takes the lid off and she giggles excitedly making my heart flutter.

"I needed some new ones" she takes out the carefully wrapped light pink ballet shoes. I got them before I came back home from LA.

"And they're perfect" her eyes beam up at me. "Thank you"

"Now worries, gorgeous" I lean in and she meets me half way in a quick peck. Her forehead leans against mine, her eyes stay shut but I keep mine open to just to look at her, adore her.

"I can feel you staring"

My smile widens, "just let me adore you"

Her eyes flutter open, "quoting Harry Styles? You must really love me"

"I do, with my whole heart" I wrap my arms her waist. "With all the blood in my body, all the bones in my body, more hair on my head, more people on earth-"

"I love you" she cuts me off, using her hands to squish my cheeks together. "Now open the envelope"

I keep my arms around her, my hands on her lap and I rip open the envelope. "Careful, there's something in there" she warns gently.

I take out the pieces of paper, reading over them quickly.

"You're taking me to Paris?" I ask in shock.

"Yeah I am and Haven. Remember, when you proposed and I said we should come back when he's born" she explains.

"That's the most romantic thing to ever happen to me" complete joy filled me.

"Awe, baby" she leans into me, kissing my bicep as it was closest to her. "I'm so excited. We leave in two days and come back January 7th"

"Sounds perfect" I just keep her in my arms, feeling so lucky to have her.
