Alex's POV

"Here!" My mom squealed, while handing Harry and I each a present."

"What's this?" I dropped the pizza I had been eating to take the present from my mom.

Her smile increased in size. "An early christmas present."

"You didn't have-" Harry began but was interrupted my my mom.

"Nonsense." She scolded while lightly hitting Harry on the arm. "I wanted to. Go on, open, open." She encouraged.

I honestly love my mom so much. Even though she's been through hell and back during her life, I'm proud of how far she's come. How she was able to go from waiting tables and juggling school to owning her own dental practice. I wish she would find someone to enjoy her successes with. Someone that will make her feel the way Harry makes me feel. Like I'm the only girl in the world, like nothing else matters except for me and our baby. Our, that's something I'll have to get used to.

"Alex." I hear Harry's deep voice say my name.

"Huh? Sorry." I shake my head as to try and rid them of my thoughts I was just having.

"Your mom said we should open them on three."

"Right, yeah. Sorry." I apologized, feeling flustered.

"You okay?" Harry asked while placing a hand on my leg.

"Yeah I'm fine, just thinking."

"Okay.." He gave me a wary look.

"One, two, three!" My mom clapped on three.

Harry and I ripped open our presents at the same time to revel the tackiest pajamas I'd ever seen.



Every year for as long as I could remember my mom had always bought me the tackiest of christmas pajamas and she would give them to me on Christmas Eve so I could wear them that night and then all the pictures she took on Christmas morning had me in the tacky pajamas.

"Um.." Harry spoke first. "These are nice?" It sounded more like a question.

My mom and I looked at each other before laughing.

"They're supposed to be ugly." My mom choked out between laughs.

"Oh! In that case these are great!" He chuckled.

"Go put them on." My mom ordered.

Once we were changed, and after I had to convince Harry that we in fact didn't have time for a "quickie", we joined my mom in the living room.

"Look at you two." She gushed. "Go stand in front of the christmas tree so I can take a picture of the two of you."

Harry and I obliged, not wanting to ruin her fun. Once in front of the tree Harry slung his arm around my shoulders and pulled me into his side. I wrapped my arms around his middle and cozied in. This was one of my favorite places in the entire world, just being in his arms. Camera phone up, and so our mini photo shoot began.

My mom took advantage of our willingness to cooperate and finagled a few more pictures of us. We changed position a few times until the final picture where Harry placed his left hand over my stomach. He had never been so affectionate towards my belly in front of other people, family or not.

"Can you send all of those to me?' Harry asked my mom.

"Of course. Both of you." She smiled. "Now lets watch a movie."

Harry sat down on the bigger of the couches and pulled me down to sit next to him. I curled into his side and waited for the movie to begin. Once my mom was comfortable on her couch she pressed play on the remote and the previews before How The Grinch Stole Christmas began. A few minutes into the previews mine and Harry's phones chirped, letting us know that we had new texts.

Harry grabbed both of our phones from the coffee table, and handed mine to me. The texts were just all the pictures from my mom. I saved them all to my phone before flipping through all of them. Not to be biased but we looked so cute. My favorite was the first one we took where I was cloaked in Harry and his tall frame.

"That's my favorite too." He whispered to me. I glanced up at him to see that he was looking down at my phone. I smiled at him and nestled further into him. The movie started and a few seconds after my phone beeped again. I looked at it to see that I had a notification from instagram. I slid my finger across the screen and opened the app. I had a notification telling me that Harry had tagged me in a picture. I clicked on it, it was the one that we agreed on being our favorite.

This was the first picture of us that Harry had posted on instagram. Actually the first picture he had posted of him and girl that he was linked to. I smiled at the small gesture and read the caption.

"Merry Christmas from the three of us."

Notes

I picture them to be standing sort of like this, but Alex is taller (like 5'8) and has her hand across his middle and he has his arm across her shoulder. And of course wearing those hideous pjs.
