We have had the best time in America, but we have to unfortunately go home tomorrow. We decided to go to the beach for a few hours so we are getting ready for that.
"Nathan, have you got towels and sun cream?" I ask.
"Yes. All in the bag. Now let's go." He says.
I pick up Sophie and Nathan picks up Charlie and with my free hand, I hold Lily's hand. We leave and take the short walk to the beach. We find a spot and then after 15 minutes of us relaxing and the kids playing in the sand next to us, a group of about 30 teenagers enter the beach and their spot is about 10 meters from us. For the next 15 minutes, they are blasting music to the max volume and drinking beer after beer after beer.
"Right, I've had enough if this!" Natha says standing up.
"Nathan, stop!" I say.
"No, I want to spend the last day of holiday in a calm environment, not near some outdoor drinking club created by teenagers." Nathan says.
"Nathan, think about the kids." I say.
"They are scared, so I have to sort it." Nathan says.
Nathan goes over, despite my pleas, and turn off their music and throws the device into the sea.
"What the hell!" A guy of about 17 says.
"I'm sitting over there with my family trying to enjoy the last day of our holiday, so stop all of this because I know for sure that its not just me that wanted to turn that music off." Nathan says.
"You did not just throw my IPod in the water? You're gonna regret that!" Th boy says.
"And what are you gonna do? A man almost double your age, co us bet you any time." Nathan says.
"Nathan, I swear to God, sit down, right now!" I say.
"See that everyone, he's got his girlfriend sticking up for him now!" The guy says.
"That is my wife. Now shut the hell up!" Nathan says.
"Or what?" The guy says.
I get up and just as Nathan goes to punch the guy, I stop him by stand in front of him.
"Nathan. You are making a scene. We are going to sit down. You are going to calm down. You will stop all this. Look at the kids. They are terrified." I say.
"You greet bitch!" A drunk girl says.
She comes from the side of the group.
"Excuse me?" I say.
"You have it all don't you! A nice husband. Kids. Opportunity's. You got to spend the day with the whole cast of dance moms and Abby Lee Miller. You went on X Factor. Ellen. Twice. You're so damn greedy and you don't even realise it." The girl rants.
"Look. You are drunk and pathetic. So shut up and go back to making out with all the guys behind the bike sheds!" I say.
The girls stumbles off and I have to drag Nathan away from the situation.
"Why did you come over?" Nathan asks.
"You would have ended up being arrested." I say.
"I don't need you fighting my battles go me! I'm nearly 30." Nathan says.
"Shut up." I say.
"M shut up, you're the one that looked like they were about to slap that girl." Nathan says.
"Please Nathan. We go home tomorrow and I just want to relax." I say.
"I'm sorry." Nathan says.
I pull Nathan in for a hug, but then he goes in for a kiss. We break apart and go back to sunbathing. We keep hold of each others hands and after a few hours, we realise it's time to go back to the hotel. I get the kids showered and then they are playing with their toys. I go into the bathroom and Nathan follows me.
"Nathan, what are you doing?" I ask as I stand in the mirror and tend to my eye brows.
"Nothing. Just wanted to shower with you." Nathan asks.
"Nope." I say.
"Why not?" Nathan asks.
"Because we will end up having sex and the condoms are out in the draw next to the bed and I don't want to get pregnant and the kids will hear and." I say before I'm cut off.
Nathan brings my lips to his and before things get too heated, I push him away.
"Harper." Nathan says.
"Nathan." I say
"Please let me shower with you." Nathan asks.
"I am going to count to three and if you are not out there and looking after out kids, I will hit the roof." I say a bit more seriously.
Nathan leaves without saying another word. After I shower, I put on some track suit bottoms and a top and grab my purse and hand bag and slip on my flip flops.
"Where you going?" Nathan asks.
"To get a pregnancy test." I say without looking up.
"Are you serious?" Nathan says as he comes over to me.
"No. Of coursr not. I'm on the pill." I say.
"Really! Pregnancy is not something to joke about Harper!" Nathan says.
I storm out the room and run down to the hotel lobby. I sit down for a moment, before I walk out on the street. After 30 minutes, I walk back to the hotel. I get back to the room and the kids are asleep. Nathan is sitting in the chair, biting on his thumb. He looks up at me as I walk through the door.
"Where did you go?" Nathan asks.
"For a walk." I say as I take some pyjamas and put them on.
"Harper. Can you please talk to me?" Nathan asks as I go into the bathroom to brush my teeth.
"Will you support me if I get signed to a label?" I ask.
"Yes. You know I will." Nathan says.
"Will you support me if I decide that we should move to America?" I ask.
"Yes. Of course." Nathan says.
"Then why don't you show it?" I ask.
"I'm sorry ok. I don't have an excuse, but I love you Harper. I really, really do." Nathan says.
I hug Nathan and then I kiss him. We get into bed, but at 3 am, my alarm wakes me up. I rub my eyes and then sit up. I wake Nathan and we get everything together. We get dressed and then we are forced to wake our children. We get them dressed and then check out of the hotel. We arrive at the airport and we go for food since we have a couple of hours till out flight
