It was Christmas Eve, our daughter Darcy were sitting around the fire place eating marshmallows watching a Christmas movie.
“Daddy what did you get me for Christmas?” “you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to find out” “do I have to wait longer?” “yes just like I have to wait so do you” “hmm I’m bored daddy” she cutely says.
“watch the movie” “seen it” she answers just wanting to be a pest. “Hey Harry?" I say, “yeah love?” “can I talk to you in the kitchen for a second?” I ask, Harry nods and we both get up and walk to the kitchen.
“what’s up y/n?” “why don’t we take Darcy for a walk or drive to see the Christmas lights?” I suggest, “we can do that” he smiles, “Darcy go get your warm jacket” Harry calls out and i hear her running up the stairs to her room. Harry quickly leans in and kisses me before breaking away and we both walk upstairs to grab my jackets.
“Where are we going mummy?” Darcy asks as we leave my room putting on my coat, “you will see” i simply respond as I pick her up in my arms, and take her out to the car, iplace her in her car seat and wait for Harry to lock up. He hops in and starts to drive, “are we going to grandmas?” Darcy asks referring to Anne, “no we go there tomorrow” Harry answers focusing on the road, and Darcy starts to sing the few words she knows to a few Christmas songs.
Harry stops the car, and park. We both get out and Harry takes her out of the car, he places her down and takes her hand, as he then takes mine. We all walk a little before we reach a street full of people admiring all the houses that have bright Christmas lights on their house.
“wow look how pretty the road looks daddy” Darcy excitedly comments pointing to the houses with her free hand, “I know watch out for Santa you might see him” “really I might see Santa?” “there is a chance he might be flying around with the reindeers giving presents to all the good children” Harry says. I smile at how good he was with her, “wow look mummy look, why doesn’t our house look as good as that?” she questions pointing to a house that is basically covered in Christmas lights and full of Christmas spirit.
“Daddy couldn’t put up as many this year, but we have our house still with lights” i answer, “there will be more up next year Darcy I promise” Harry softly says as we walk along still looking at the perfectly lit up houses.
“I’m cold” Darcy starts to complain, Harry lifts her up in his arms, and she nestles her head in his neck getting sleepy already. “Darcy are you sleeping?” Harry asks just trying to annoy her and keep her awake. “no daddy” she tiredly responds, “look Darcy the reindeers” Harry shouts pointing to the sky, “where, where, where?” she quickly asks shooting up, looking at the sky, “didn’t you see?” he softly asks, “no” she sighs, “well maybe you will see them later” Harry says, and she nestles her head back into Harry’s neck, too tired to continue looking.
Harry and I walked around a little taking the opportunity to just have a look at the pretty lights along with everyone before walking back to the car, Harry carefully places Darcy into her car seat, before you both hop into the car.
“what’s Santa bringing me this year?” Harry randomly asks, “Santa only comes to good boys” “I’m good” “yeah when sleeping” “no” “yes” “you’re just jealous I’m on the nice list” “okay Harry what ever you say” you joke, Harry just smirks as he drives into the driveway.
I took Darcy out of the car and carry her up to her room. I place her in the bed, “has Santa come yet?” she tiredly asks, “no sweetie go back to sleep” you whisper kissing her forehead and tucking her in.
I walk out quietly and shut her door. I walk downstairs and Harry is wrapping gifts, “Harry I thought you wrapped them the other day?” “I forgot, can you turn around for a sec?” he asks, “erh okay” I respond and turn around, “you know this is why I do most the wrapping” i giggle, “sorry I forgot to wrap your gift, and Louis’ birthday present for tomorrows dinner” “nice one Harry, why didn’t he have a dinner tonight?” “he is having tonight with family and tomorrow night with friends and family who show up” Harry answers, “okay turn around now” Harry adds, I turn around and go sit next to him as he wraps Louis’ gifts up.
“What did you get me?” i ask, “nothin” “you got me nothing really?” “yep didnt have time to buy you anything” Harry smiles, “you just told me you forgot to wrap my gift” i laugh, “shhh I’m concentrating” he smirks, so I start to playfully poke him and annoy him, “stop” he whines trying to wraps the present.
I don’t stop and continue, he suddenly pushes the present away and tickles me, “no” i giggle and he continues as he playfully tickles me on the floor. He is hovering over me tickling me and I'm just laughing away, being the tickling person i am. He stops and leans down and kisses you sweetly, “Merry Christmas” “it’s not Christmas” “I wanted to be sweet” “well Merry Christmas for tomorrow” i sweetly reply kissing him quickly before sliding away from under him. We both put Darcy’s presents under the tree before turning the light off and going to sleep.
"Mummy Daddy wake up it’s Christmas it’s christmas" Darcy tells jumping on our bed,
"mm 5 more minutes" Harry sleepily requests.
"no come on Santa came Santa came, come on" she insists.
"Darcy 5 minutes"
"daddy come on Santa might have gotten you something" she whines, Harry sighs.
"we will be down in a second Darc" i say, she smiles and runs out.
"Come on sleepy up we get"
"but it’s the only day I get to sleep in" Harry whines.
"I know but you have a little girl eager to open her presents" I whisper, Harry sits up.
"you’re right, but first" he whispers and leans over and kisses me sweetly.
"ewww" I hear Darcy sound, Me and Harry pull away laughing.
"Merry Christmas love" he chuckles.
"Merry Christmas Harry" I respond and we both get out of bed and go downstairs.
"Well Darcy what are you waiting for open your presents" Harry happily says, as we all sit around the tree, Darcy smiles opening the gifts from Santa before Harry hand her the gifts from me and harry.
She was very happy with what she got and hugged us both, "I got you something daddy" Darcy smiles and pulls out a poorly wrapped gift and hands it to Harry.
"Thank you Darc" he says and opens up the gift, he laughed.
"why are you laughing?" she asks cutely.
"no reason I was wondering where my socks went, thank you sweetie it was very thoughtful of you" Harry chuckles trying not to laugh too much.
Darcy then hands me a small box, "here mummy this is from me and daddy" she cutely says, I open it and find a very nice necklace, "thank you Darcy" I thank her.
"what about me?" "what about you Harry, you said you didn’t have time to buy me a gift" I joke, Harry gives you the, oh what ever look, before you guys hand each other your gifts while Darcy plays with her presents happily.
