TWO WEEKS LATER

            In the middle of the night one night, I heard one of the girls crying. I groaned and rolled out of bed, making Harry wake up.

            “I got it,” I told him before he could even say anything. He seemed grateful and turned over to fall back asleep.

            I walked into the girls’ room and picked up Emma out of her crib. I patted her back a little bit, calming her down before going over to the big, comfy armchair and started feeding her.

            I felt myself starting to fall asleep with Emma in my arms. Before I knew it, we were both asleep like a rock.

HARRY’S P.O.V.

            I groggily walked out of our bedroom the next morning, trying to find Maya, but also going to check up on the girls.

            I stepped into their bedroom and immediately smiled. There my wife was, asleep in the big green armchair with Emma in her arms. Before I walked over to wake her up with a kiss, I quickly went back into our bedroom to grab my phone to take a picture.

            When I returned, I took a couple shots before setting my phone down on the night table next to the door. I kneeled down next to the chair Maya was in and brushed some hair out of her face. I kissed her cheek and then the side of her mouth. She stirred in her sleep and mumbled something incoherent. Her eyes met with mine and I smiled at her, taking Emma from her arms and placing her back in her crib across from her sister’s.

            I heard Maya stretching behind me, mostly by the little squeaks falling from her mouth.

            “Dani said she was going to drop off some more clothes today…” Maya said quickly as she stood up from the chair.

            “Mmm… okay,” I replied as I looked into both girls’ cribs. I felt Maya’s arm link with mine. She looked up at me.

            “I didn’t get my kiss…” she pretended to pout and I smiled down at her.

            “Why are you so damn cute?” I laughed and picked her up, carrying her out of the girls’ room so we didn’t wake them up. Her legs wrapped around my waist like they always would before we had the girls and her arms wrapped tightly around my neck.

            “I try, I try…” she said right on my lips, but pulling away afterwards.

            I stopped in the hallway and pressed her up against the wall gently. “We’re parents now, Maya, can you believe it?”

            She smiled and bit her lip, shaking her head, “No. I can’t. Can you?”

            I pressed my lips against hers, “Yes, I can. And our babies are beautiful, just like you…”

            I watched as Maya’s cheeks flushed and turned a rosy pink color from my compliment. That only made me smile more and press my lips against hers again. I pulled away when we heard the girls’ crying. As terrible as it might sound, but both giggled and I let her down and took her hand as we walked back down the hallway to their bedroom.

MAYA’S P.O.V.

            A couple days later, it was almost eight o’ clock and Harry was lying on the couch with Darcy in his arms. He had fallen asleep and she was lying, sprawled out on his chest, asleep as well. I walked in with Emma asleep on my shoulder. I immediately smiled at my husband asleep with our daughter. It was one of the cutest things ever.

            I brought Emma upstairs to put her to bed in her crib. I pulled some of her hair out of her face and kissed her forehead. I grabbed the camera from our bedroom and walked downstairs and into the family room as quietly as I could without waking the two of them up. Luckily, I was able to get a picture with neither of them waking up.

            Twenty minutes later, I was lying in bed watching TV. Harry walked in after putting Darcy in her crib to go to sleep. I smiled as he jumped into bed and pulled me into his arms.

            “Hello my love,” he smiled and kissed my nose, “I feel like I haven’t had some alone time with you in forever…” I shook my head a little bit and Harry pecked my lips. “When was the last time we really kissed each other?” He sorta smirked at me and I felt his hand moving down my body. It felt nice actually. I’d missed it…

            Harry’s lips captured mine and he pulled me into a passionate kiss.

            That’s when we heard one of the girls crying.

            Harry slowly pulled away and looked down at the bed, our foreheads touching. It was like a cell phone going off during a first kiss, just ruined.

            “Sorry…” he mumbled before rolling out of bed. He silently walked to the door, stopping to turn and look at me. It was sort of like a sympathetic smile. Or maybe it wasn’t. I could tell there was something behind his eyes though. Something that couldn’t be put into words.

            I knew having the girls was going to change both of our lives drastically. We were parents now. Knowing I had a family with two beautiful girls and the greatest husband I could’ve asked for was the greatest feeling ever. I wouldn’t change that for anything in the world.
