Gone: Sequel to ENDLESS

Goodbyes

I wake up early, my breasts pressed against Harry's chest as light snores escape his parted lips.

I push some hair off of his eyes and pry his arms from around my waist. I gather my hair into a ponytail and slip on my panties and bra from last night, along with Harry's shirt.

I make my way down the stairs and begin brewing a pot of coffee and boiling the kettle for tea.

Within 45 minutes, the counter is filled with bacon, eggs, toast, chocolate chip pancakes, and sausage.

As I begin to wash up the pans, I hear heavy feet pad against the tiled floor.

"Good Morning baby." Harry says, coming behind me and pressing a kiss to my cheek.

"Good Morning. " I mumble back.

"I don't want to leave you." He mumbles into my neck as he hides his face in it.

"Baby," I dry my hands and turn to face him. "We've been over this. It's not forever. I'll be fine and so will you. It's just 5 months." I say taking his face between my palms. I press my lips to his quickly and softly and search his eyes. He nods, holding back the tears threatening to spill from his beautiful eyes.

"Let's eat." I say and he nods. As if on que, everyone else makes their way down the stairs and sit at the table.

"Smells good, mum." Jr smiles at me and I makes my way to him and kiss his hair.

"Thanks, babe." I smile at him.

We all eat in a sad silence and I soon stand to place my plate in the sink.

"I'm going to shower." I mumble as I walk past the table. Harry stands and places his plate in the sink as well.

"I'll go too." He says and holds my waist as I walk up the stairs.

I enter the bathroom and strip all my clothes off. I wait for Harry and the water to warm up.

When the bathroom begins to fill with steam, I step into the tub and let the hot water run down my body.

The door opens and closes. Soon, the curtain is pulled back and Harry's muscular body connects with mine from behind as we stand under the shower head.

Tears pour from my eyes as I think about him leaving me when it feels like he just got here. I turn to face him and take his wet face between my palms.

"I love you so much baby. " He whispers and presses his lips to mine. "So fucking much. " he growls and takes my lip between his teeth before controlling our slow paced kiss.

"I know." I say as I breath heavily out of my mouth.

We shower quickly and I dress myself in grey joggers and a white tank top and tennis shoes while Harry watches.

"Are you okay?" I ask him cautiously as I stand by the door.

"Yeah. Go ahead. I'll be down in a second. " he says, placing his head in his palms, not even looking at me anymore.

"Okay?" I say snd furrow my eyebrows as I open and shut the door behind me.

Everyone is downstairs and dressed when I come down. We part ways and agree to meet at the airport.

I go to wash the dishes, and just as I finish, I hear small feet pad against the floor.

"Mummy?" Jr stops next to me and I dry my hands off on a dish towel.

"Yes, baby?" I ask as I fold the towel and place it back over the rim of the sink and turn in to him.

"How long is daddy and uncles gonna be away?" He asks, tear threatening in his eyes.
