Life After Role Play

Stephanie got into an SUV behind us, because she was going to be staying at a different hotel than us.
Harry, Soph, and I were going to be staying at the Ritz in Charlotte, where the boys and the rest of the One Direction team already were.
I slid into the passenger seat of the SUV, while Harry walked around to the other side to place a sleeping Soph into her car seat.
Harry buckled up our baby and got into the drivers seat, speeding off.
“How was your flight babe?” Harry asked looking me in the eyes,
“It was fine, Stephanie was a huge help” I said
“Did Soph sleep for most of the flight?” he asked curiously,
“Yah she conked out the second we got on the plane. She’s a good little traveler” I said looking back at our precious little girl.
“She missed you ya know.” I said, squeezing Harry’s right hand that wasn’t driving.
“I missed her too.” he said
“That’s the only thing that makes this job awful, is that I have to be away from you two for so long. I don’t wanna miss out on Sophie’s childhood, or these two little babies that are coming soon” he said and rubbed my stomach a little bit.
“But you only have so much longer to live out your dream. Sophie and I are fine traveling out to see you. It’s easy to do it now when we only have one baby, its gonna be harder when the twins come” I said and squeezed his hand
“You’re right” he said
The rest of the car ride was filled with small talk and me telling Harry about the funny things Sophie had done or said.
When we arrived at the hotel Harry went to the underground parking where the fans and paparazzi couldn’t get to, and went straight to get Sophie from her carseat.
Instead of waking her up to carry her inside, he just unbuckled the car seat and carried the whole thing in.
I grabbed my purse and the powerade that Harry was drinking in the car.
Stephanie had given Sophie’s diaper bag to the security who were going to drop everything off any minute after we arrived at the hotel.
He grabbed my hand, entangling our fingers together and we walked to the elevator.
I followed him into the elevator, where he set down Sophie’s car seat.
I walked over to my tall, lanky, husband and wrapped my arms around him from behind.
Looking at him and our beautiful little girl made me realize how fortunate we were. It made me think how lucky I was to be married to the love of my life.
“I love you Harry” I said nuzzled my face into his sweatshirt, that smelled like a mix of cologne and cinnamon.
“And I love you more Aud” he said and turned and pecked my lips.
The elevator dinged and Harry lifted Sophie’s car seat before grabbing my hand again and taking us into his hotel room.
It was only about 5 o’clock, so I was assuming the boys were all around.
“Let’s go get settled in our room, and then we can go see the boys” Harry said, practically reading my mind.
“Okay” I said and followed him into our pent house suite on the top floor of the Ritz carlton.
The room was stunning and it was way too much for only the three of us.
There were 2 bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and two bathrooms.
“The boys are all staying next door. Niall, Louis, El, Sophia, Liam, and Gigi all went to a pub across the street. Zayn is taking a nap” Harry said
Harry set Sophie’s car seat down on the couch and lifted the blanket that was covering her.
She stirred around before slowly opening her eyes.
When she realized it was her daddy looking at her, she smiled the biggest smile I have ever seen, and to say that it was the cutest thing i’d ever seen was an extreme understatement.
“Hi baby girl” Harry cooed, unstrapping her from her car seat.
“Dadda..Dadda” she said, reaching her arms out to Harry.
When he finally got her unbuckled he picked her up enveloping her tiny frame into a hug.
She and Harry played and giggled for the next 20 minutes while I unpacked.
Sophie was at the age where she was starting to form sentences and it was adorable listening to her and Harry “talk”.
As I finished up unpacking I heard tiny footsteps running through the hotel room.
Sophie stopped at Harry and I’s door, and stared at me.
“Mama…dadaa here” she said and walked over to where I was laying out her outfit for dinner tonight.
She grabbed my hand and I held hers back, she pulled me into the living room where Harry was sitting and when she walked over to where he was on the couch she pointed at him.
“Dadda…look mamma dadda” she said, pointing at Harry and smiling.
“I know baby. Aren’t you so excited to finally see Daddy?” I asked, which she responded by going over to the couch and jumping into Harry’s open arms.
She gave him another hug before giggling and looking at me.
Sophie was definitely a Daddy’s girl. No questions asked. She and Harry had always had some special bond, which I didn’t mind at all.
“Hey babe, it’s almost six and I told the boys we’d meet them at the restaurant at 6:45-7.” he said picking up Sophie and holding her in his arms.
Sophie laid down on his shoulder, snuggling into his neck.
I fawned at our precious brown eyes baby, before responding.
“Okay, i’ll go get changed, i’m not gonna change Soph, she has a dress on already” I said and took the little girl into my arms.
