Chapter 31

Harry took us to the places where Darcy wanted to go. First, we went to the zoo. It's probably one of every children's wishlist. Darcy was so amazed of the animals. But while we were walking around the zoo, people were taking pictures of us. We decided to move faster. Darcy doesn't know who they are. While on the car, Harry and I were talking about how we will face these issues. He told me to say that Darcy was my sister. I'll never do that with my own daughter. But it's for Darcy's own good. We went to McDonald's  for our lunch. While we were eating, I checked my twitter. Tons of photos of Darcy were there. I tweeted:

@GabriellaSmith_: Guys, chill. She's my sister.

I got concious. It hurts for me to lie about my own daughter. I'll never let Darcy leave the house again. I'll let her leave the house when Harry and I face the people.

We went home. I'm so tired, but atleast Darcy was happy. Being tired was worth it. Harry carried Darcy to her room.

“Thanks for today.” I said, closing the door.

“It's fine. I had to spend time with our daughter.”

“It's kinda late, are you going home to your mom's place?”

“Can I sleep here? Just for one night.”

“Sure, but where are you going to sleep?”

“The guest room?”

“It's full of boxes.”

“Then I'll sleep at your room.”

“What?”

“Please?”

“Fine, but not in my bed.”

“Great!”

I prepared a sofa bed for Harry. I prepared him a blanket and some pillows.

The next morning, I woke up twisted to Harry. How did he even get here? He's like five meters away from me, tell me, how did he even get here? Harry opened his eyes, I can't get away from him. He's holding me too tight. He looked below and he saw me twisted to him.

“Oh, I'm sorry.” He said, pulling his body away from mine.

“How did you even got into my bed?” I said, sliding up to sit. 

“I'm sorry.  I just wanted to get close to you.” He said, getting out of the bed.

“It's fine.”

The door swung open and Darcy came in. She looked at us, shocked.

“Mommy, I'm hungry.” She said, running to me.

“Where do you want to eat?” Harry asked Darcy.

“It's fine, I'm gonna cook for you guys.”

“I want donuts!” Darcy yelled.

“I'll drive to Starbucks.” Harry suggested.

“Mommy, can I come with daddy?” Darcy asked.

“Okay, but don't get too long.” I said, stroking Darcy's brown hair.

They drove to Starbucks and bought a Chestnut Praline Latte for me, the Peppermint Mocha for Harry, the Peppermint Hot Chocolate for Darcy, and three Pumpkin Cream Cheese muffins. I'm sure that people were taking pictures of Harry and Darcy. The door swung open and Darcy removed her shoes while Harry is removing his coat.

“They were out of donuts.” Harry said.

“We bought muffins instead.” Darcy comtinued what Harry was supposed to say.

“I knew you loved muffins so I bought muffins. I told Darcy that fact though.”

“Thanks.” I smiled and took the food they bought.

I unpacked the the food and put it on the table while Harry and Darcy were sitting beside me.

“Hmmmmm, Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins!” I said, sniffing the box where it was.

Harry turned to Darcy and whispered, “I told you she'd like it.” Darcy nodded.

“Probably the Peppermint Hot Chocolate is for Darcy, and the Peppermint Mocha is for you.” I said, giving them their drinks.

“You both sure likes peppermint aye?” I giggled.

“Of course, she's my daughter. Like father, like daughter.” Harry laughed.

They both ate their muffins and drank their peppermint drinks.
