Prologue

-Prologue-
"Kiddies!" Anne Styles called out, searching the grocery for the two petite children, wearing matching shirts. "Where on earth could they possibly be?!"
"Maybe we should split up, Anne? What if they got lost?" Gabriella Sanders suggested.
Anne and Gabriella have been best friends since they were in the third grade, and until now, their relationship was as strong as a rock.
"Oh my god! What if my baby brother and my best baby girl friend got lost?!" Gemma cried, being the older sister of the missing 4 year old, Harry Styles and his best friend Gessi Sanders, who was 4 as well. Gemma wasn't that much older than Harry, only being 6, but in her words she "wanted to become the best older sister in the whole wide world" . "Mrs. Gabriella?" She asked using her small hand to tug on her shirt "where was the last place we saw them?"
"I think it was by the ice cream section?" Anne said as Gabriella thought of other places the two rascals could be. "Maybe we can check there?"
The two nodded in agreement, not really knowing what to do. As they were walking towards the frozen foods section, they heard the cries of "mummy!" And "gemma!" Coming from the mouths of two familiar children.
"There you two are!" Gabriella exclaimed, running over to the two children and picking them up in her arms as they laughed and giggled uncontrollably.
"Harry! Gessi!" Gemma said as she tried to hug the two from their position up in Mrs. Sanders' arms but she couldn't reach them so she ended up hugging their legs instead.
"Where have you two been!" Anne says kissing their foreheads "we've been so worried!"
"Mum! Gessi and Isaw this machine that gives out toys if you put a coin in it!" Harry exclaimed, moving his arms around "it was so cool! But we didn't have any coins so we went to look for you!"
"Mummy can we please get a toy?" Gessi asked looking at her mother who smiled at her "please please please please?" And Harry looked at his own mum and pleaded the same thing.
"Alright, alright." The two mothers chorus and Gabriella placed the two children on their feet before giving them a coin each to get whatever toy made them happy.
Harry and Gessi smiled mischievously and grabbed each other's hands as they ran towards the machine whilst their mothers laughed and Gemma smiled at the two "I think they will get married someday!" She squealed, making the moms laugh louder as they agree.

"Which one do you want Haz?" Gessi asked, looking at the ''endless" amount of machines, to them, but in reality there was about five.
"Which one do you want Gess?" Harry asked as he moved closer to her
"We could get something matching!" She exclaimed, brown eyes hinted with excitement
"A ring?" He questioned, seeing the other machines were filled with random objects like fake eyes and some body parts that looked gross, while the others were filled with bug like creatures that four year olds find in the garden, which again to them we're very 'ew-y'
As Harry's eyes looked at the machines, he finally found a decent looking one "Let's get matching rings and get mawwied Gess!"
"But isn't mawwing for adults?" She questioned, trying to pronounce the word "marrying" while looking up at him. They were only 6 months apart in age, Harry obviously older, he towered her by about an inch, maybe. Harry nodded, "but adults marry each other when they like the person, and mummy told me that she and daddy were best friends and after a while they got mawwied!" He exclaimed, smiling at her, showing off his cute little dimples and his adorable smile. The two nodded at each other excitedly and ended up spending their coins on the plastic rings that came out of the machine.
"For you!" The little boy said opening the egg like container and holding the ring out for Gessi's finger and slipping it on her
"perfect!" They said giggling loudly, even if it was a bit too big for her little finger.
"And for you, Hazzy!" The small brunette cried, opening the container and repeating Harry's actions on him.
And from afar, their mothers couldn't help but grin at each other, snapping a quick picture of the two children before rushing over to them after they paid for the groceries and got Gemma some candy to stop her complaining about "not being able to talk to Gessi and play tea party because of Harry" and headed home with a car full of groceries and laughing children in the back seat.

"You look pretty" Harry hums, nodding his head of bouncy auburn curls. "Thank you! Mummy bought me this dress." Gessi proudly says, giving a little twirl.
"Do you wanna play house? You can be the mummy and I can be the daddy?" He asks walking inside her room, which looked like a tiny house, having a play kitchen, dinning room, living room and basically everything.
"Okay." She says, following him and carrying a baby doll "what do mommies and daddies do?"
Harry silently debates on this, remembering the scene earlier this morning in his kitchen where he heard his mother and father arguing "mine fight," he replies softly "but I don't wanna fight with you, ever." Gessi nods in agreement, reaching over and giving Harry a tight hug, which causes him to blush slightly and smile.
"What about your mummy and daddy?" He asks her, curiosity evident in his tone
"My mummy and daddy kiss and hug.." She scrunches up her nose
"Cooties!" They say in unison, bursting into laughter
"When we're old enough, do you want to kiss?" He asks her, green eyes wide and raging with curiosity
"When we don't have cooties anymore?" Gessi asks smiling slightly and petting his curls and giving him her answer, "Deal." Earning a smile from the Cheshire boy.
