Chapter 13

Darcy and I raced down the stairs to the living room to sit with everyone else. I knew that Louis, Liam, Niall, Brynn and Sophia were all there but I didn't care. I didn't even acknowledge Louis and Niall when Enola came to check on Darcy and I. I was pissed that they had showed up. I wanted the girls to myself for a day. Just me and them. A time when I could feel like myself without all of the pressure from every other part of my life. I flopped onto the sofa beside Enola.
I smiled at her, "Clean." She thanked me softly as Darcy climbed into my lap and snuggled against me. I wrapped my arms around her tiny frame and continued to ignore the boys, Brynn and Sophia.
"Hi Uncle Louis." Darcy beamed at him, fixing her doll's hair.
"Hi babe." Louis smiled back at her. "What have you been doing today?" Louis asked Darcy gently.
Darcy grinned, "Harry and I played tea party and then we cleaned my room. But we ate lunch before that." Louis nodded like it was the most interesting thing he'd ever heard. I smiled and brushed her hair away from her face then off her shoulder.
"Don't say hello to us or anything, Harold." Liam got a bit snippy with me.
"Hello Liam." I replied rolling my eyes. I went back to concentrating on Darcy. After a moment I noticed that Enola's hand was on my leg. I looked up at her with a tiny smile.
"Harry, I really need to put her down for a nap." Enola spoke softly. I looked back at Darcy with sad eyes. I didn't want to be left alone with all of the boys. I didn't want to be scolded for my actions all day.
"I can do it." I offered quietly. Enola looked apprehensive but agreed.
"Darcy, come on. Nap time." Enola announced. DArcy instantly threw a fit. She started to cry and tell Enola no over and over. "But baby, you're so sleepy." Enola stated trying to sway the three year old's mind. I smiled a little.
"Here. Let's do this. You don't have to take a nap but you have to sit here with me and Mummy. You can't play or anything. I want you to sit here and relax." I interjected. Enola looked at me with mean eyes. I mouthed, "Trust me." Enola lifted her brow but sat back. "Pick out a princess movie for Mummy to turn on."
Darcy looked up at Enola, "Can we watch Little Mermaid?" Enola agreed and stood from the sofa.
"Okay. Now, come snuggle with me." I said pulling Darcy's little body closer. I wrapped a blanket around her and held her tight. She rested her head on my chest and hugged her doll. Enola sat beside us again, a curious expression still on her face. As the movie began, Darcy relaxed into me even more. I felt a lot of the tension in my body start to melt away as Enola moved closer to me as well. I looked over to see the boys watching me with smiles as were Sophia and Brynn.

Less than half way through the movie Darcy fell asleep. I looked over when I felt some pressure on my shoulder. Enola had drifted off as well, her head had dropped onto my shoulder. I smiled and pulled Enola a little closer without waking her. It was tough because we were in an awkward sitting position but I wanted her close as well. I kissed her hair lightly then did the same to Darcy.
"That's a good look for you, Harry." Brynn whispered from her seat next to Niall. I glanced at her a bit confused by her statement. "The family look like that. E sleeping on you. Darcy sleeping on you. Daddy would be a good title for you." She clarified with a bright smile. THe thoughts that I had of Enola and Darcy earlier seeped back into my mind. To have Darcy call me daddy and Enola call me baby was something that I dreamed of and I wanted so badly. I felt like I needed it. I frowned a little as I gazed down at Enola and Darcy, angels in my arms.
"Harry, is that something you want?" Sophia asked with a concerned face. I glared up at her for a moment. "It's okay if you do. We know how you feel about her." Sophia tried to sound reassuring. I gave a single nod. I wasn't going to say a word. I knew that Enola was a light sleeper when she wasn't in a bed so I didn't want to say anything. I didn't want her to hear my thoughts of her and Darcy then tell me I couldn't come around them any longer. "Harry, it's okay to talk about it." Sophia was still urging me to speak with her eyes.
I sighed and leaned my head back, "I'm tired. Just let it go, Soph." I closed my eyes and tried to focus on the feeling of the girls in my arms. I was warm and comfortable even though I couldn't move. I tightened my grip on Darcy when she stirred. I hummed quietly for her to go back to sleep. Enola moved her head to my chest like Darcy. I put my arm around her and held her close. I loved the feeling of Enola's hand on my chest beside her face. I let out a content sigh.
"I feel like we are out of place." Brynn whispered to the rest of the group.
"Yeah, lets go do something else and let them sleep." Louis suggested. I heard everyone get up and leave the room. I peered out one eye to see that the living room had been cleared. I felt a sense of relief as I heard the car start up and pull away from the house. I slowly fell asleep feeling completely relaxed.


I woke to the sound of quiet laughter. I shifted a little and realized that I was now laying on my back and the weight on my body was a lot heavier. I moved my hand slightly. Enola was laying almost fully on top of me. Her head was on my chest and her legs were intertwined with mine. Darcy slept on my torso next to Enola. Her head resting in the crook of my neck and her hand near Enola's face. I rubbed her back gently as she shifted. I heard quiet laughter again. I opened my eyes to see Louis, Niall, Liam, Brynn and Sophia spread across the rest of the room. They were all smiling and giggling as they stared at Enola, Darcy and I. I glared at them and shushed them.
"But you three are so cute." Sophia whispered.
I shushed her again, "Be quiet and let them sleep." Sophia quickly pursed her lips and sunk into Liam's side. I turned my head to see that Louis had turned on a football game. I glared at him and Niall as well, "If you get loud watching that I am going to kill you both." They both waved me away. I relaxed into the sofa and let my eyes slide closed again. I smiled to myself when Enola began to stroke my skin with her thumb. She used to do it in her sleep all the time. Whenever I would stir in the slightest she would ease me back to sleep by rubbing my chest. I relaxed even more and tightened my grip on her and Darcy. I gently ran my fingers through Enola's hair. The feel of her body against mine was nearly indescribable. To feel her curves pressed to mine, where they belonged, made my heart race and skin tingle. I moved my hand from her hair to her arm. I lightly teased her skin with my fingertips. Enola snuggled into me more, wrapping her arm around my waist. I tried to contain the smile that wanted to show. I felt so at home and finally at peace with them in my arms, but I couldn't let anyone know it.
I sighed heavily and sadness over took my heart. Enola was only cuddling me because she was unconscious. She didn't know what she was doing. She wasn't holding me to feel my skin against hers or to feel my heart beating. She wasn't leaning into me for comfort and warmth the way she used to. I was an old habit. She wasn't holding me because she loved me. I carefully moved out from under her body without waking her. I stood from the sofa with Darcy still in my arms. I then laid the sweet little girl with her mother. I looked down on the two of them with sad eyes. They were the future I could've had. I ran my hand through my hair then looked at the boys.
"I'm going to go." I whispered. Louis and Niall looked at me a bit stunned. "It'll be easier for Enola. If I stay any longer, Darcy will throw a fit." I informed them. Louis and Niall still seemed unsure. I grabbed my car keys from the coffee table then walked toward the main hall. I turned to take one last look at Enola and Darcy. I had to turn away before I started to get too emotional. I walked to the front door and sighed as I opened it. I needed to get out of the house. I took my time getting to my car. I felt my heart starting to cave a little. I wanted to run back into the house and snuggle up with my girls. I wanted to hold Enola's child close and try to feel the parts of her she wouldn't show. I wanted to feel Enola's body meshed into mine, make her feel that I still loved every millimeter of her. I slammed my car door and put the keys in the ignition. Without a second thought, I started the car and pulled away.
I walked into my house still keeping my stiff upper lip. But as soon as the door closed, I lost my composure. I feel to my knees as my body was racked with sobs. Enola was all I wanted and I couldn't have her. Same with Darcy. Darcy was a vibrant child that had stolen my heart in a matter of moments. The second I laid eyes on her, I loved her. Exactly the way it happened with her mother. I hated that she was another man's child. But I made an unspoken promise to that little girl that I would be there for her, that I would be the man that protected her and loved her no matter what. I knew that the way I felt for Darcy was so much more important than the way I felt for Enola. I had to find a way to deal with being around the love of my life without being the love of hers. I buried my face in my hands and tried to pull my body from the floor. I made my way to the kitchen where I chose the best way to ease my pain for the night. I didn't want to figure out how to be the person Darcy needed right then, so I grabbed the bottle of wine that Sophia had gotten me for a house warming present when we got back. I opened the bottle quickly. I picked it up and took it up to my bedroom, skipping a glass altogether. Tonight, I was going to drown my pain. I hated when Enola did it but it seemed like the only option.
