"Can we get in?" I poked my head inside the hospital's room.

"Course." Danielle shot me a lazy smile, looking impressively good for someone who's been in labor for fifteen hours.

"Oh my God!" I cooed quietly, dropping Harry's hand to touch newborn Lexi in Liam's arms.
"She's so beautiful!"

"She is, isn't she?"

"Look at you practically drooling..." Harry mocked his mate, cleaning the nonexistent drool on his chin.

"Can I?" I asked holding my hands out.

"Sure." Liam carefully placed tiny Lexi in my arms. She squirmed a little but didn't open her eyes.

Her fragile structure fitted perfectly in my arms, sleeping beautifully as I stared at her in adoration. Harry placed one arm around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder, his other hand rubbing Lexi's stomach and peering curiously at the little girl. I smiled up at him feeling a tad of nostalgia for being like this with him and a baby in my arms even though it's not mine. Harry happily returned the smile, dimples pressed deeply in his cheeks before focusing back on Lexi.

"Look at you two with a baby..." Danielle commented exactly what's on my mind.

"Still a long way for that.." I said tracing Lexi's cheek with my finger.

"You'll have a surprise when you least expect." Liam voiced holding his fiancee's hand, his eyes of pure adoration.

"I know you two let yourselves go by the distance in a very steamy night during the tour and all but Mia and I are very responsible adults." Harry mocked tickling my neck with his breathing as he spoke.

"Yeah, I can't imagine what happened in the night this baby was consumed that made you forget protection." I played along.

"I forgot that I was off the pill while they were away!" Dani rolled her eyes explaining the same story for the nth time.

"And anything can happen! If Harry's swimmers are fast enough it can happen with you too, protection or not." Liam took his fiancee's side.

"I don't think that will be a problem when the time comes..." Harry chuckled.

"Yeah, Harry's little soldiers are amazing swimmers!" I joked giving him a peck on the cheek.

"Then who knows if he already planted the seeds inside you..." Danielle kept teasing.

"I think we'd know if I had done such miracle." Harry's hand involuntarily moved to my stomach giving it a soft squeeze, the butterflies instantly erupting.

"Can we stop talking about sperm now? Have some respect, I'm a father now." Liam scowled covering baby Lexi's ears.

"Eventually she'll ask how she was born. Why not give the secret away already?" Harry mocked making me laugh.

"You two are disgusting, I don't want you near my baby!" Danielle stuck her tongue out opening her arms as I laid Lexi there who once again remained peacefully quiet.

"She's our niece, I'm afraid you'll have to stick with us..." I pointed out matter of factly.

"True." Harry agreed pushing me to his arms again.

"Doesn't matter." Danielle muttered as Liam moved closer to the bed and his newborn.

I have to admit motherhood really suits her! She looks absolutely amazing, practically glowing with pride and Liam can't tear his eyes of her or their daughter. They make a perfect family, it's beautiful to watch!

Ideally, I wonder what it'll be like when and if Harry and I have babies. Obviously, it's something we both want and with each other. That eagerness to see how the baby will look like, the moment when you finally take a glance at it for the first time and realize it's half of you there. Specially sharing that with the person you love the most. In my case, Harry.

What am I thinking? We're not even married yet and my mind is already wandering through all that hereafter possibilities. I think women's biological clocks give a little ring informing the time is soon when we're near a baby, that excitement of a newborn from someone we care so much.

"So everyone's outside impatiently waiting to meet their niece too." Harry pointed out.

"Oh right, the waiting room is crowded with our friends! But the doctor said we should only get in two at time and not make much noise." I nodded.

"Sure, let them in." Liam smiled largely.

Harry and I moved to hug and congratulate them one more time in this new amazing phase of our friend's lives.

"Congratulations again, she's beautiful!" I told the new mummy placing a soft kiss to Lexi's forehead.

I week later...

I was already asleep in the early hours of the morning when I felt the bed dip as Harry's scent invaded my nostrils. Even if I could distinguish anything in the pure darkness that was our room, I didn't had to open my eyes to know it was him.

"What took you so long?" I mumbled.

"Sorry, love. We took more than we thought at the meeting." Harry whispered while pushing me to him.

"Hmm,"

"Go back to sleep, it's late." the sentence was accompanied with a kiss to my forehead.

"I don't like sleeping without you."

He sighed deeply, uging me closer. "Me neither."

In contentment, I shifted my head to his shoulder, absorbing all the warmth he provided and tried going back to sleep. Tomorrow would be an exciting and eventful day because we're having lunch at Liam's and I can't wait to see baby Lexi again now she's a few days older and seems to grow by the minute but also because I have my first ever job interview. Just thinking about it makes my stomach twist. I'm tired of hearing Harry assure it's alright but that's his job as my boyfriend so his opinion is quite biased.

"I can hear you thinking." Harry's raspy voice sonded low in my ear, causing the shivers to run down my spine.

"How so?"

"I sleep next to you everyday for almost two years now baby, our breathing is different when you're thinking."

"Well, that's not creepy."

"What is it?" his hand previously running up and down my side settld on my hip with a reassuring squeeze.

"Just wondering about tomorrow."

"Don't worry about it now, you had one of the highest grades of your class. Tey'd be dumb not to hire you."

"You're my lawyer now, huh?" I teased with a kiss to his bare chest.

"I'm everything you'll want me to be." he promised.

"I just want Harry."

"Here I am then." his chest rumbled against my hand wit a deep chuckle.

"I know, I can feel you."

"Can you now?" he teased pervertly.

"Harry!" I giggled, hidding my head further into him even though the room is pitch black.

"I woke you up now, go back to sleep."

"Alright. Goodnight." My head tilted up, blindly searching for his mouth. Sensing my movement, Harry's mouth met me halfway in a sweet kiss.

"Sleep well, love."

In the morning, Harry was already up despite arriving so late last night. I knew he was supposed to go pick his mum and sister at the airport since they flew from the north after visiting some relatives. I just though it'd be a little later because I'm super tired still.

"Mia," Harry murmured in my ear as he hovered over me slightly, sat on the edge of the bed by my side.

"Is it time already?"

"I fell asleep so they took a cab from the airport, I'm picking them at the lobby in a couple minutes."

I poked one eye open, shifting around to look at him. His face was too close, eyes tired but still bright. "You haven't been sleeping much lately."

"I know." He nodded before pressing a kiss to my temple.

"You'll get sick again and I'll have to take care of you, all whiny and needy."

"It was just that time after the tour! I don't normaly get sick." he huffed with a roll of eyes.

"There's no need to be annoyed, happens to everyone babe." I grinned up at him.

"I'm not annoyed.. babe.." he replied with a pinch to my bum.

"Whatever you say.." I pushed him down by the neck, connecting our lips for the first time this morning.

Harry leaned further into me, the hand that wasn't supporting him reaching under the sheets to roam up and down my leg. My hands wound tighter against his neck, urging him closer. As the kiss deepened, our breathing picked up and my back arched from the mattress into him. His body reacted by positioning himself in the crook of my thighs, our chests pressed together as we continued to kiss.
Suddenly, my legs hooked round his waist and I rolled us over much to Harry's susprise.

"I win." I whispered, brushing our noses together.

"You love to have me pinned, don't you?" Harry smirked at me. lifting his hips off the mattress and easily bringing me along to prove a point..

"No, I love you."

"Hmm, that's nice." his tongue darted out to wet his lips and I was momentarily distracted with the pink seduction of his soft lips.

"How long till your mum arrives?" I asked, roming my hands on his torso as I sat upright.

Harry shrugged. "She said a cuple minutes when I called." His hands oved to my hips, pushing the shirt up and exposing my lower stomach.

"It's already been a couple minutes." I stated.

"She'll call again when she arrives. Now stop wiggling, we don't have time for what you're suggesting."

"I'm not doing anything!" I defended raising my arms in the air.

"You're sat on top of me wearing only my shirt." he replied, his own hands raising to lace our fingers in the air.

"Sorry if that's too tempting for you." I teased.

He was about to reply when his phone started ringing. It was indeed his mum to say they're in the lobby already.

"Go pick them while I dress and brush my teeth." I said with a peck to his lips.

"Alright, hurry up."

By the time the front door opened, I was already downstairs fully dressed and teeth brushed. Gemma was the first face I saw.

"Mia!"

"Hey Gem." We exchanged a warm hug.

"I haven't seen you in ages!" She spoke enthusiastically.

"I know, I'm still recovering from my last exams."

"Oh my God, you have a british accent!" She gasped, covering her mouth.

"Really?"

"Yeah! I mean, not like Harry or anything but you definitely have it in you." She nodded with a big grin,

"I never noticed."

"It's pretty evident."

"Hey, honey." Anne came next, envolving me in a tigt embrace.

"Hi. I'm so sorry we didn't pick you up at the airport."

"Oh, that's alright sweetie." She waved me off, easily dismissing the subject.

"Liam texted, everyone's there already." Harry informed, typing on his phone.

"I'm ready when you are." I told him.

"Let's go, then."

My hand was grasped in his as we made our way to the elevator.

"You're so soppy sometimes." Gemma commented with a gagging nose.

Harry scolfed, glaring at her. "You need a boyfriend."

"I'm too busy to worry about testosterone now." She excused, pushing her hair back with one hand.

"Clearly." Her brother rose his eyebrows in defiance.

"Kids." Anne adverted though her tone was anything but threatning.

"He started it!" Gemma accused.

"He started it.." Harry immitated in a girlie voice only to receive a slap in the arm.

"Ouch! I don't like being in numeric disavantage." he pointed out glancing at the three women he was stuck with during the car drive to Liam and Danielle's.

"Do you wanna sit in the front?" I asked Harry's mum.

"No, that's alright dear." She smiled sweetly, climbing in after Gemma.

"So, how was the north?" I asked, twisting in my seat to face Anne and Gemma in the backseats.

"So wonderful, I love the north!" Anna replied.

"Harry should take you there, it's amazing." Gemma nodded in agreement.

"Yes, he should." I teased, giving him a playful glare even though he was driving.

"We could all go there sometime, I haven't seen the cousins in a while."

"Perfect! Now Mia, Harry said you're arranging some interviews to start working right away. Are you excited?" Anna questioned with the same eyes as her son.

I engaged in the conversation, telling them both everything and the interviews I was planning in small offices since I just graduated and a big one would be a bit riskier and harder to get the job. Also, it's always good to start by something small and evolute gradually. By the time I finished, we were pulling at Liam's driveway.

"Hello everyone." Liam greete at the door of his new big house now he's moved in with Danielle and the baby.

"Where's Lexi?" I asked.

"Danielle was feeding her in the living room."

Exactly as he said, Dani had already fed Lexi and was now trying to make her burp. With only a week, Lexi is already much bigger than when I first saw her after she was born and her hair was adorned with some chocolate brown curls, ressembling me of Danielle.

"Oh gosh, she's so cute!" Gemma squealed. "She's just like you!"

"You think? Everyone says she looks like Liam."

"I don't think so, to be honest."

"You have to give her a bit more time, her features will change a lot." Anna pointed out, making faces at little Lexi. Being the first kid in our family, I can already predict she'll be extremely pampered - already is - by all the uncles and aunts she has.

"Can you give me just a minute to change, Lexi threw up on me."

"I'll hold her." I offered, extending my arms to grab the baby.

Lexi settled easily into me, her tiny mouth forming the perfect 'o' as she yawned sleepily. I cooed to her, bouncing her in my arms slightly.

"We'e settled everything in the backyard for lunch." Liam poked his head inside and we followed to the already set table in front of the pool.

Noticing Lexi in my arms, Harry walked toward me, giving the baby a sweet cuddle and kiss to the forehead.

"She's even bigger now."

"I know, right?" I nodded, staring down at her as well.

"Anne, how amazing would it be if Harry and Mia were to give you grandchildren?" Dani made her big entrance again, giving me a wicked grin. She's been insisting on the idea of having a friend for Lexi since she got pregant in the first place!

"I'm fingers crossed for it to happen in a near future, for sure!" Anne surprised me by saying a bit too much enthusiastically for my liking.

Harry and I exchanged an amused look and I shook my head at the new mummy.



Notes

I know I don't normally use that "x time later" a lot lately because it gets boring but I think it's perceptible time is evolving and each chapter holds a big leap of time. For example, Harry went on tour and the chapter he returns it's 10 months later, then when Danielle's pregnancy is announced it's been 7 months since the tour and now 2 more months when Lexi was born.
If the time isn't perceptible along the story, please let me know.

Per usual, comment and vote, the views grow so much by each chapter and only a few of you comment or vote!! I know this is sort of blackmailing but updates come faster with motivation.. I'm sort of a nice person so you can talk to me ha :)

P.S.: I have some good news on the way!!

It's amazing how you know my writing and that I don't do happily ever after which is true but I don't think I've ever mentioned that (?)
