The big day had arrived.

"Are you sure that's everything?" Mark asked as he put the last of Anne and Harry's belongings in the van.

"Yes. I wouldn't have far to go if I have forgotten anything though." She replied, laughing.

"True." Mark replied. "Let's go then."

They got in the van and drove just up the road. He parked outside the house and they got out.

They got Geoff and Bobby around to help with the heavy stuff. Jay stayed home with Louis and Harry.

It didn't take long for the van to be emptied and the men went to the storage place to collect Anne's bits that had been stored there.

Anne busied herself putting things into place. There was a knock at the door. It was Tricia.

"Hi love. Thought you might need some help." She said as Anne opened the door. She smiled and hugged her, inviting her inside.

"Oh Anne it's a lovely living room." She said, looking around. It was fairly large with a nice bay window.  The staircase went from the living room up to the bedrooms and bathroom. The walls were freshly painted a nice sunflower colour that Anne had asked for, making the room feel warm and cosy.

"I love it already." Anne replied. "Come look at the kitchen."

"Wow!" This looks brand new." Tricia said.

The walls were magnolia. New cupboards were on the walls with a lovely beige speckled worktop. There were a fitted gas cooker, fridge freezer and washing machine. Anne was thankful that she didn't have to buy new ones, as her old ones had to stay at her old place.

"It's gorgeous. I'm so happy for you." Tricia said, looking at Anne as she stood with the biggest smile she had seen on her.

There was a knock at the front door and Anne let the men in with the rest of her things.

It took a few hours to get all her things in place. Anne was exhausted.

At 5pm Jay arrived with Harry and a bag of food.

"Hi Jay. Hi Baby! Give Mummy a hug. Oh I missed you. Have you been a good boy?" Anne said as she took him from Jay and gave him the biggest hug.

"He's been so good. Played nicely with Louis. Had a lovely long nap and ate all his food." Jay replied.

"Mumumumum." Harry mumbled as he put his thumb in his mouth and snuggled into Anne's chest. Anne stroked his thin blonde hair as Harry's eyes closed.

"Good boy."

"Hows it going?" Jay asked looking around.

"Not bad. Got most of it sorted. Made the bed and Harry's cot so least we can sleep tonight." Anne laughed. "Fancy a coffee?"

Jay nodded. "I'll do it. You sit down. You must be tired."

Anne sat down with Harry on her lap. He was asleep now. Comforted in the loving arms of his Mummy that he had missed that day.

Jay took the food out of the bag and warmed it in the oven.

"We'll have this then I'll show you around." Anne said.

"And this is Harry's room. God that feels weird saying that." Anne said as they looked into the final room. It had pale blue walls and a darker blue carpet. His cot on one wall. There was no more furniture, as she never bought any before.

"He's gonna love it. I'm so happy you have a beautiful home now." Jay said. "Remember you can come to ours whenever you want to though."

"Of course. You can come here too."

They hugged after Anne put Harry in his cot. He turned on his side, still sucking his thumb, and Anne placed his blanket over him.

She switched on the new baby monitor she had bought and they went back downstairs.

"I better get going now. Let me know if you need anything. Dont be a stranger."

"I won't and thank you so much for everything. I don't know what we would've done without you." Anne replied, trying not to cry. "I love you guys so much."

They hugged and said goodbye.

Anne sat down on her sofa and sighed. She took the tv remote and switched it on, flicking through the channels until she came across a movie channel. She ended up watching The breakfast club.

It was 10pm and she was exhausted, so she took herself off upstairs. She was brushing her teeth when she heard Harry crying.

She rushed into his room, finding him sitting up, rubbing his eyes and looking confused.

"Hey love. What's wrong?" She said as she picked him up. Straight away she felt he was wet. "Oh, you need a change." She took him to the bathroom and changed him quickly. She went to put him back in his cot but he just clung onto her.

"You wanna sleep in Mummy's bed?" He nodded.

She smiled. "Ok. But we won't make it a habit."

She put him in the bed and got in next to him. It didn't take long before they were both asleep.

I love cute stuff.

1 more day til Harry reads us a story. I'm so excited.

All the love 💖💖💖
