Yours

[Rebecca's POV]


It's been two days since we've been "together" again and the press are eating us up. Simon had us go out all day yesterday and those stupid paparazzi people wouldn't leave us alone. Sure that's why we go out, but we don't like it. Honestly, I think we'd just be happy having people know we're together while we stayed in then us having to showcase our "relationship" by getting swarmed by people.
Simon doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
I sighed picking up my dance duffel. It's the first time i've got to dance for about four days and I need it. It's how I let everything i'm feeling out. That's why I love dancing so much. You don't have to talk; you just show what you're feeling.
I walked out my door and locked it. I then pulled my jacket tighter. I swear, the further December gets the colder it gets. It's not suppose to be like that. I walked down my steps deciding to walk to the gym since I want to save my money. Lizzy's birthday is coming up and I want to go visit. I was halfway down my steps when my phone went off.
I got to the last step and picked up my phone.
"Hello?"
"Oh thank god, Bec I know you said you were going to dance today, but I need your help."
"Uh.. Harry, what's wrong?"
"Well, being the nice person that I am, I told my neighbor Rachel that i'd watch her kids while her and her husband went away for the evening."
"Okay.."
"I didn't know three kids would be this hard.."
I giggled. "Want me to come over?"
"If you would, i'd be very appreciative of that."
"Okay, i'm on my way."
"Thank you so much Bec!!"
"No problem, just don't lose a kid."
"Erm.. no promises."
"Harry!"
"Kidding.. kidding, but you better hurry."
We hung and I sighed. There goes my day of dance. Oh well. It's better doing a good deed anyway. I walked over to Harry's not even noticing I had my dance duffel and walked up the steps. I knocked and about ten seconds later he opened.
"That was fast." He said.
"I could say the same thing." I said looking at him as I walked in.
"Did I interrupt you.." He said pointing to my duffel.
"I was about to go when you called, so you didn't interrupt anything." I said putting it on the floor next to the door.
"Thanks for this." He said walking me into the living room.
"No problem." I shrugged.
As we got in there, there were three kids. Two boy's and one girl.
"Okay, everyone this is Rebecca." Harry said. "Rebecca," he started going over to the oldest. "This is Marcus, he's 7."
I smiled. "Hi Marcus, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too." He smiled going back to his game he had. Looked like... candy land, maybe?
"This is Jessie, she's four." He said picking her up.
"Aw," I smiled walking over to them. "Hi baby.." I cooed tickling Jessie's tummy with my finger. She laughed.
"and that's Toby, he's two." He said pointing down to the little baby at my feet. I bent down and smiled at Toby. "Hi Toby."
"Hi." He smiled.
I giggled standing up. "So cute."
"Harry, come play with me." Marcus asked holding out a playing piece.
I smiled. "Guess that's my cue." He said handing me Jessie.
I held Jessie and smiled at her. She sure was cute with her little curls. She wanted down, so I let her down. Although, Toby was reaching up squeezing his hands. I had a feeling he wanted up. I giggled and picked him up. "Hey, little guy. Aren't you handsome."
I'm pretty sure he didn't understand what I just said.
"Hey, Harry?" I asked turning to Harry.
"How do you keep getting two colors? is this rigged?" Harry asked moving one color up to the green. Marcus was four ahead of him on red.
"Harry." I laughed.
He turned. "Huh?"
"Have they had lunch yet?" I asked.
He shook his head. "That would be a no."
I shook my head this time and smiled."I'll go make them something. Is there anything they can't have?"
He put on a thinking face on and bit his lip trying to think of something. "Nope, you're good."
"Okay.." I trailed. I walked to Harry and dropped off Toby. He sat in Harry's lap.
I turned around and Jessie was playing with her doll. Okay, good. No one is gone. I walked into the kitchen and thought for a second. What can a seven, four, and two year old have? Maybe a sand which for Marcus.
Yeah.
I opened his cabinets and found some peanut butter. Okay, I hope Marcus likes peanuts butter. I found some bread, a knife, and a napkin. I started making the sandwich.
Once I had all the peanut butter onto the bread, Harry comes in. "I remembered none of them can have...." he looks down at the sandwich. "peanut butter."
I closed my eyes. "Harry."
Harry started walking to me. "I'm sorry.."
I opened my eyes and slammed the bread together."Here," I sighed. "have a sandwich." I gave it to him.

"A woman who can make a sandwich, I like it." He grinned taking a huge bit out of it.

"I take it back, you get nothing." I said taking the sandwich out of his hands and taking a bite turning back to the counter.

"I was kidding." He said wrapping his arms around me getting the sandwich from my mouth.

He stepped back. "Marcus is missing the best sandwich I ever had." He said trying to lighten things up.
I giggled. "Shut up, and finish your sandwich before I take it again."
He nodded and ate the sandwich while leaning on the tabletop. I decided to just make Marcus a normal ham and cheese sandwich. I went into his fridge and lucky for me there was ham and cheese. I turned around and held up the ham and cheese. "Is this acceptable?"
He nodded. "Yes."
"Are you sure?" I asked slowly.
He nodded. "Positive."
"Alright.." I said to myself and carried on making the sandwich.
I placed everything on the counter and started it. Harry finished his sandwich and kissed my cheek. "Thanks for lunch."
I rolled my eyes playfully. "Your welcome."
Then he went off into the living room with the kids. If I didn't know better, I would swear he's one himself. I finished Marcus's sandwich and put some chips on his plate.
Okay... now the four and two year old.
I decided i'd make a half sandwich for Jessie. I made the same sandwich, but cut it in half and placed one half on her plate. I ate the other. I placed a few chips on hers as well. Okay, now Toby.
I looked in his cabinets again and found believe it or not, animal crackers. I turned to face the living room and laughed. You child. I grabbed the animal crackers and placed some on a napkin. I then got three cups and filled them with water.
I sighed in relief, but then heard a scream and crying. Oh lord. I walked to the living room and saw Jessie holding her doll giving evil eyes to Toby who was crying extremely loud. Harry was trying to calm him down.
"What happened?" I asked walking in.
"Toby tried to take Jessie's doll, so Jessie smacked him with it." Harry said having no luck in calming Toby down.
"Jessie was it nice to hit your brother with your doll?" I asked sternly bending down to her level.
"No." She said with sad eyes.
"Do you want to say sorry?" I asked.
She nodded. "Sorry, Toby." She said.
All he did was cry. "Okay, good girl, but do not hit anyone else with your doll, you understand?"
She nodded.
"Bec..." Harry whined.
I giggled. "Bring him here while you take Marcus and Jessie to wash their hands."
"Okay." He said picking up the crying child and handing him to me. I started bouncing him up and down rubbing his back. "Where does it hurt?" I asked.
He cried, but pointed to his head. I smiled and kissed his head.
I walked into the kitchen with him still crying. I bounced him on my hip watching Harry try to pick up Jessie to wash her hands. The water squirted Harry at one point and Toby began to laugh. Harry's head couldn't have turned any faster. "He's laughing!"
I smiled and kept bouncing him. "Yup."
After Jessie was done washing her hands, Toby was done with his tantrum. We then placed each kid in front of there food and let them eat. Harry and I stood arms crossed leaning against the sink watching them eat.
"How'd you get him to laugh?" Harry asked.
"You did that my friend." I smiled.
"How?" he asked.
"Toby found it funny that you got squirted with the water." I shrugged.
"Ohhh." Harry said nodding.



*******************************



"Is Jessie and Toby down?" I asked.
Harry nodded as he stepped out of his room quietly. Both Jessie and Toby were getting tired after lunch, so we let them sleep in Harry's room.
I took a breather. "You alright?" Harry asked as we walked down the steps.
"Just stressed that's all." I said.
"About what?" He asked.
"Everything lately." I said walking into the living room.
"Geez, and I helped so much asking you to help me take care of three kids." He sarcastically said plopping down on the couch.
"No it's fine, really." I said sitting on the floor next to Marcus who was playing his Nintendo.
Harry just sighed not wanting to start anything with a kid in the room. I smiled and nudged Marcus with me shoulder. "What are you playing?"
"Mario." He said really focused on his game.
"Very cool." I said sliding down and watching him play.
Marcus smiled. Harry laid on the couch and closed his eyes. I smiled and turned back to Marcus.
The kids ended up sleeping for about two hours while Harry was still on the couch sleeping. I didn't want to wake him. He seemed tired all day. The kids and I were in the kitchen doing random things, so we wouldn't wake Harry who was in the living room.
"Becky?" Marcus asked.
Eh.. close enough.
"Yes, Marcus?" I asked.
"When are mummy and daddy coming to get us?" He asked dropping his crayons.
"Harry said tomorrow morning." I said holding Toby while he tried to color on his paper.
Marcus didn't say anything after that just continued to color. "Jessie, what are you drawing?"
She looked up and smiled. "Me, Mummy, Daddy, Toby, and Marcus." She said sticking out her tongue in concentration. She went back to draw the circle she was starting before I asked her.
"Aw, cute." I smiled hugging Toby closer.
Toby was drawing nothing but scribbles. I laughed when he was trying to reach for the purple, but couldn't reach it. He gave up putting his head on the table with his arm still reached out.
"What's so funny?" A groggy Harry asked walking into the kitchen.
I turned around. "Nothing, how'd you sleep?"
"Why didn't you wake me up when they woke up? I left you alone with three kids." He said walking over to us.
I turned to them. "They've been good, haven't you?"
Both Marcus and Jessie said yes still focused on their pictures.
"Where'd you get the crayons?" He knitted his eyebrows.
"We took a field trip to my apartment." I said handing Toby the blue.
All Harry did was sigh deeply.
What's his problem? he asked me to help..
Harry went to his cabinets and took out some aspirin. "You okay?" I asked.
"Yeah." He said taking them and drinking them down with water.
I just left it at that. He's obviously moody for some reason. Probably on his man period.
"I'm hungry." Jessie whined.
Harry looked at his watch. "It's five.. I guess dinner."
"Dinner is on you sir." I said smiling and taking a sheet of paper myself starting to draw.
Harry stood there staring at the wall. I guess thinking. He then took out his phone and went into the other room. Humm...
"Look what I drew." Marcus held up his paper.
"What is it?" I asked tilting my head.
"A spaceship!" He said making it fly.
I smiled at his cuteness and continued my flower. Thirty minutes later we were cleaning everything up and the door rung. Harry ran past the kitchen to get the door. Marcus helped clean up the crayons and placed them back in the box. Once everything was cleaned, Harry came in holding a pizza box.
Oh god.
"Dinner." Harry said placing down the pizza box on the counter.
"Yayy!" Both Marcus and Jessie squealed.
There is no way Toby is going to eat that.. i'm going to have fun feeding him.
Harry passed out the pizza making sure the kids got one. Marcus, and Jessie were eating theirs just fine. Harry was eating two and I didn't have any. I had Toby in my lap trying to feed him the pizza in small piece. Harder than you would think.
"Is he eating?" Harry asked looking up from his pizza.
"I'm getting there." I said holding the piece to his mouth.
When Marcus, and Jessie finished, Harry cleaned them up. "Guess what?" Harry shouted joyfully.
"What?" the kids went along.
"Bed time!" Harry cheered.
"Awwww..." The kids deflated.
I giggled along with Harry. He took them upstairs. I was still trying to feed Toby his last piece. I still haven't eaten because of me trying to feed Toby.
Once I finally got Toby to eat the last piece. I picked him up and cleaned off his mouth. I held him and traveled upstairs. Harry was just coming out of the guest room. "Marcus is down."
I nodded and we went into his room and saw Jessie sleeping with her teddy bear her mom gave Harry for her. We quietly laid Toby down. I sat on the side of the bed rubbing his back hopefully to get him to sleep. Harry was knelt in front of me with his arms on my knees watching me comfort the baby.
Toby started closing his eyes. I continued and about a couple minutes later I knew he was gone. I kissed his head and noticed it was a warm. I shook it off and stood up along with Harry. We exited the room. "We make a good team." Harry smiled.

"We do." I smiled and we did a high-five.
We were halfway downstairs when Harry said something. "Rebecca, can I ask you something?"
"Shoot." I said bouncing off the last step.
"Why do you do this to yourself?" He asked walking behind me.
"You're going to have to give me more than that." I laughed.
We sat on the couch. "Say yes to everyone."
"I don't say yes to everyone." I said getting comfortable.
"Er, yes you do." he chuckled.
"Okay, if I did what's wrong with it?" I asked turning my head to him.
"You get so stressed." He said with a worried expression.
"I'm fine." I smiled.
He sighed. "Do you ever breakdown?" he asked.
"No." I lied.
"Bec, come on everyone breaks down every once and awhile." He said giving me the 'your stupid' look.
"Harry, I do the things I have to do to make life easier." I sighed and sank into the couch more. "When I dance, I let everything out."
"Really?" He asked.
I nodded and took the remote turning on the tv. "So trust me I'm fine."
"If you say so." He said turning to the tv not believing me.
We watched tv for a good two hours. I had my head in his lap while he played with my hair. He was my pillow. I was tired a little bit ago, so he said I could use his legs as my pillow. I didn't pass up the offer. I was just falling asleep when a cry was heard from upstairs.
Crap.
I moved off Harry's lap and together we went up to his room and checked who it was. We opened the door and Jessie was awake looking at a crying Toby.
"You got Jessie?" He whispered.
"You got Toby?" I whispered looking up. I didn't realize how close he was. His lips were right there. We both paused.
Toby snapped us out of our gaze, so he went in. I went towards Jessie while Harry got Toby. I rolled Jessie over and tucked her in.
"Woah, Bec he's really warm." Harry said looking at me with his hand on Toby's forehead.
Oh no.
"Okay," I turned to Jessie. "go back to sleep sweetie."
She closed her eyes and I went over to Toby and picked him up. "Come on." I said walking out of the room.
Harry and I went downstairs and I placed Toby in my lap. I felt his arms, legs, back, and stomach. He was really warm.
"What do we do?" Harry asked panicked.
"Get some rags and run cold water over them and bring them back." I said moving Toby to the floor.
Harry nodded and went out of the room. I undressed Toby until he was just in his diaper. He was still crying. "It's okay,Toby."
Harry came back a couple minutes and handed me the rags. I laid one over his forehead, one over his legs, and one over his stomach. Harry sat down next to me. "Now what?"
"We wait until his temperature goes down hopefully." I said bringing my knees to my chest.
"You're really good with them." He said. "How'd you know what to do?"
"Lizzy had a fever when she was younger. I watched my mom." I said putting my chin in my knees.
Harry started rubbing my back. "You know, you don't have to stay. You seem really tired go back to your flat. I've got this covered."
"No, it's fine. You never know what can happen. I don't want to risk it." I said feeling Toby's forehead.
Still hot.
"Bec.." Harry sighed.
I turned around and smiled at him. "We're in this together whether you like it or not. What if he gets sick, would you know what to do?"
He shook his head. I giggled and kissed his cheek. "Im staying."
Harry laid back and covered his face. "Ahh, you're so stubborn."
I laughed.
It was like 3 am before Toby's temperature went down. Harry and I just got him back down. We were literally walking zombies. "Alright.. I don't think you need me anymore."
"Erm, you're not leaving. Not at this time no way." He said.
I pointed to the front door. "I'm three doors down Harry."
"Its London, babe." He turned me walking me to the living room. "you don't even want to know what could happen to you in between here and there."
I laughed at his protectiveness. "Where are we going to sleep?"
"The couch." He said gathering a blanket
"Both of us?" I asked looking at his couch. It was pretty small for someone with that much money.
"We'll its all we have." He said laying on the couch.
I just stood and looked at this goof. He got situated on his side and held open the blanket. "Well are you coming or not?"
I shook my head with a smile and got in. I slid in with my back to Harry. Once I was in, he put the blanket over us. He put his arm over my waist. My shirt had gone up while I was scooting in, so his hand was on my stomach.Is it weird I find that comforting?
"See, we fit." He chuckled.
"Barely." I huffed looking at the ground. If I rolled, i'd be on the ground.

As if he read my mind,Harry said "Don't worry I won't let you fall." He said scooting me closer to him.
"You're lucky i'm too tired to argue back anymore." I said getting comfortable.
"Well, good. Goodnight, Rebecca." He said laying his head down.
"Don't try anything." I warned.
He lifted his head back up. "I am hurt you'd think I would try something on you." he gasped.
"Do you want me to take us back to the hotel in California were you nearly raped me?" I joked.
It was silent for awhile. "I thought you said you were too tired to argue back?"
"I had a little left in me,who knew?" I laughed.
"Go to sleep." He said laying his head back down.
"Goodnight." I smiled.
"Goodnight, Love." He whispered.
After that, we were both goners.

*****************************************************morning****************************************
I kept hearing this bang sound and a ring. I didn't know what it was. I opened my eyes and saw Harry still fast asleep. I heard a knocking sound. What the? I then realized I was turned over and facing Harry with his arms around me... now how did we get like this? I smacked Harry softly a lot of times till his eyes opened. He groaned. "What?"
"First, how did we end up like this?" I asked looking down at us.
He looked down. "I don't know." He groaned closing his eyes again.
The knock happened again. "And second, do you hear that?"
"Hear what?"He asked in a really husky groggy voice. What.. a .. turn.. on. Focus Becca..focus.
The knock happened. "That."
"HARRY??" We heard a woman's voice.
Both of us turned to each other. "Shit." Harry breathed.
We jumped up so fast. "You get the kids, i've got the door."I said running to the door.
"Alright." He said flying up the stairs.
I fixed my hair the best I could before I opened the door. Rachel was about to knock again,but stopped. "Oh hello." She said.
"Hi, I'm Rebecca." I smiled letting her in.
"Is Harry here?" She asked looking at me like every mother would if they came into their babysitters house to someone else opening the door.
"Yeah, he's getting the kids." I said pointing upstairs.
"Oh, alright. Who are you too Harry?" She questioned.
"I'm his fri-- girlfriend." I saved.
"Girlfriend?" She asked shocked."I didn't know he had one."
I smiled. "Well, he does."
"Interesting. Never really pictured Harry as the girlfriend type if you know what I mean." She winked.
I gave a weak smile and nodded. "I do."
"Well, it's nice to meet you dear." She said holding out her hand.
"Nice to meet you too." I said shaking her hand. She pulled me in and we did the kiss kiss thing with the cheeks. It's a British thing.
"MUMMYYYYY!!!" Jessie squealed from upstairs.
"Hey, baby." She smiled holding out her arms for her daughter.
"Rachel, sorry we didn't open right away Toby kept us up til three with a fever." Harry said coming down with a sleepy baby. "He's better now."
"Oh, i'm sorry Harry, thank you though." She said taking Jessie up in her arms.
"It's no problem. Rebecca knew what to do, so we were fine." He said handing Toby to her as well.
Marcus came down with his bag he brought.
"Thank you both." She smiled as she went out the door with all her kids.
We waved and shut the door. "I can go home now." I said bending down to get my duffel.
"Nope." Harry said grabbing my shoulder and standing me up.
"What?" I asked.
"You're tired; i'm tired. Let's sleep." He said walking me backwards to the living room again.
"Har--" I was cut off by him wrapping his arms around me and picking me up plopping down on the couch.He slid down and laid me on top of him. "Harry.." I said.
"Shh.." He said closing his eyes.
I giggled. "You do realize you have a bed upstairs with no children."
"I'm more comfortable like this." He said not taking his arms from around me.
"Well, i'm cold." I pouted.
He opened his eyes and reached down with one arm. He picked up the blanket and spread it around both of us. "Harry," I laughed. "I can't stay here."
"You can and you will." He said taking no for a answer.
"Well, at least let me get comfortable." I said.
He sighed, but opened his arms with his eyes closed. I took this opportunity to jump out of his arms and off the couch. He opened his eyes and looked at me. I smiled and started running for the door.
"Becca!!!" He shouted behind me.
I was so close to the door, but he grabbed me from behind and picked me bridal style walking back to the couch. "You're staying. It's London you never know what could happen to you from here to there."
I laughed as he placed me down onto the couch. He laid on the couch bringing me back on top of him. "Harry, why am I on top of you?" I asked.
"I like the comfort." He smiled.
I laughed again. "You goof. I'm not staying here there is no need for me anymore."

"What if a lonely, cold, boy needs you?" He asked giving me puppy dog eyes.

I held in a giggle."He's grown, he can handle himself."

"Alright, would you rather go out there, get your picture taken, and then an article get written thinking you've just done something with me all night?" he asked with an eyebrow up.

"You know," I patted his chest. "you're quite comfortable at the moment."
He winked and got situated. "Goodnight."
"It's morning."I said.
"Good morning." He smiled shutting his eyes.
I scooted down so my head was in the crook of his neck."Good morning."
For some reason he lifted up the back up my shirt and started rubbing my lower back. How'd he know that comforts me?
He's the first guy that's done that...
I smiled and closed my eyes. I guess while i'm stuck I should get some sleep. I guess no dancing today either.

I mean, it's not like need to practice anymore... right?
