The next morning I woke up to a cold and empty bed. It confused me because Harry always liked to sleep in with me on Saturdays.
As I descended the stairs, I could hear both of my sisters chatting between themselves quietly. Probably trying not to disturb the silence.
"Oh, morning Des." Viola called over her shoulder when she saw me enter the room.
"How'd you sleep?" Estelle added in with a smile.
I looked at the two sisters and couldn't help but pick out the similarities between the three of us, I was still so mind blown over the whole subject.
"Good morning, and I slept well thanks," I smiled at the two before taking a seat across from them. "I hope you were both warm enough last night, I'm sorry I wasn't able to help settle you in" I apologized for the little... Mishap that we ran into last night.
They both said they obviously understood why and not to worry, which I was thankful for.
"Do either of you know where Harry is? He usually doesn't get out of bed until noon."
Estelle swallowed her mouthful of tea before answering.
"He's just popped into town to pick up breakfast. Actually, he should be home any minute now," I thanked her and then excused myself to go and boil the kettle.

Harry walked into the kitchen just as the water had finished heating up and wrapped his arms around my waist. He placed several kissed down my neck before placing one final kiss to my cheek and turning me around to face him.
"Good morning, Angel. Did you both sleep well?" I couldn't help the wide smile that spread over my entire face, I just loved it when he would refer to both me and our baby. It settled my mind to know that he was serious about this.
"Fine, how was your little outing?" Harry kissed me on the lips and then smiled down at me.
"It was alright, no traffic on the way in or out of town so that was nice."
I lifted my hands to his cheeks and caressed them momentarily while he tightened his grip around me.
"You'll have to let go, Casanova. We can't stand here all day." He pouted at me but I wasn't having any of it, so I kissed him one final time and then broke away from his hold to grab two mugs from the cupboard.
"What would you like to drink H?"
"A chamomile tea please, the fancy one with the flowers." I giggled at his choice of drink, remembering when I pulled him into the tea shop in town a few weeks ago and having to hearing him complain about how 'unnecessary' it was.
"Oh, hold on I got you something while I was out." He jogged out of the room and came bounding back in not long after with a huge bunch of red and white roses in hand. "For you my gorgeous baby mama."
I couldn't help but laugh at being called his 'baby mama', but of course he would buy me flowers after last night. It's in his blood to try and right any wrong, even if it's not his fault.
"So, since you're in a good mood and feeling generous... Can we please get a puppy?" Harry's eyes widened and he scratched the side of his head with the hand that wasn't holding the flowers.
"Ah I don't know Des. Puppy's are a lot of work, they need constant care and they need to be walked everyday. Plus with the baby on it's way, we'll barley have any time when it's here. Maybe we can think about it once we have the baby settled."
"No please Harry. I promise I'll walk it, and when I'm couch bound I can cuddle it and pet it. Pleaseee, I was looking at puppies online while we were away and I fell in love with one. He's gonna be sad if we don't get him."
