"No more pictures, H, please,"

Harry grins from the other end of the camera as I burry my face in my hands, trying to escape the lense.

"Pleeease, just one more, you look really beautiful today. Tell Mumma how beautiful she looks today, buddy" he cooes, tickling the tummy of the chubby toddler on my lap who giggles in response.

I grin, smoothing the dirty blonde hair down with my hand as my gaze shifts off to the two familiar head of curls a few feet away. It was an unusually warm and sunny day and Harry and I had decided to take the kids out to the zoo to celebrate the first birthday of our baby boy, Andrew.

"Well, " I grin, "it is my special day too, after all. This one couldn't get here without my hard work,"

I press a kiss to the crown of Drew's head and Harry smiles.

"I put in work too, ya know," he replies matter of factly.

"Yeah, the most minimal effort," I quip.

His smile widens and he wraps his arm around me, watching as our other two girls, as who'd insisted on feeding the ducks in the small pond themselves, throw generous amounts of bread crumbs to the small yellow ducklings.

"Our little man's not so little anymore, makes me sad," Harry rasps.

I laugh.

"He's only one, Harry. Don't speed up his growing process any faster than it's already going,"

He sighs.

"I know, but one day he'll be as big as Frey and Lay and then I won't have anyone to chase after while you're at work,"

" We're not having another so maybe I'll do more work from home. Then you can chase after me," I grin.

Harry grins, "Sounds like fun,"

I sigh contently resting my head on his shoulder as we sit in comfortable silence, Andrew playing with my fingers when I suddenly get a thought.

"You know, if you'd told me all those years ago that this was gonna be our future I'd think you were absolutely mad,"

"Yeah?" he asks.

"Yeah, I don't think I'd be able to handle all this when we first started out. I wasn't there, mentally emotionally, it wasn't me at all,"

He grins, flashing his dimples.

"You were so stubborn, still are but I didn't think you'd ever crack,"

I tuck a strand of fallen hair behind me ear, chewing at my bottom lip in thought.

"Why didn't you ask me out before? Why'd you wait for me to do it?"

All though selfishly and not entirely genuinely, I'd been the first one to make a move. Harry had been super into it after my invitation and I'd always wondered why he didn't take the plunge first.

" 'Cause, I knew you'd probably say no,"

"Oh c'mon, you threw your shoe at me the very first time we met, what makes you think I'd say yes after you nearly assaulted me?" I chortle.

Harry rolls his eyes with a grin.

"I couldn't help it, my shoe was fallin' apart and you made me really nervous, you were so beautiful,"

Drew suddenly burst into a fit full of giggles and I grin down at him, snuggling him deeper into my arms.

"Just imagine if you'd never agreed to go out with me. You could have another wife and another set of kids and I'd be a mother to like, twenty cats,"

Harry chuckles, reaching out to pinch Andrew's chubby cheek.

"I think it'd be a miserable existence for us both, yeah?"

I suddenly look at him, the sun shines down on his handsome face causing his green eyes to sparkle at their brightest.

"It would be, it'd be the most miserable existence,"

I glance back over at Freya and Layla who look absolutely content and then down at the chubby baby boy in my arms and suddenly I've never felt happier. This was my family and I couldn't think of a place a better place I belonged.

I lean over pressing a kiss to his mouth before getting Andrew situated in his stroller as I swallow the sudden lump in my throat.

"C'mon, I want the girls to see the snake habitat. They'll love it,"

Harry's eyes grow wide.

"Snake habitat? Yikes,"

I grin.

"Don't be a wuss, they're in their cage,"
****
"Mumma look, bubby has a giraffe on his cake like the giraffe's we saw at their habitat!" Layla announces happily.

After seeing the snakes much to Harry's displeasure, lemurs and giraffes, we'd settled down at the park to cut Andrew's cake. I was his first of many slices today as Penny, Liam, Gemma, George and her children as well as both Harry's parents and mine were having another little party later. After all the last grandchild's gotta be spoiled rotten.

I grin, wiping away at the icing around his mouth.

"They're not as cute in the zoo as they are on the cake," Freya sighed. "and they were wrestling like you and Daddy do sometimes,"

Harry nearly spat his punch out from across the table.

"Wrestling? What have you seen?!"

I shrug, having a hint of what Freya's implying but not wanting to push the envelope.

"We'll talk about it it later, H," I whisper.

"Mumma, is bubby gonna be big like us one day?" Layla asks.

I grin.

"One day, but not today,"

"Good," she grins. "I want him to be little forever. He's so cute,"

Harry grins wide, the corner of his eyes crinkling and dimples denting his cheeks. I can't hide my smile either.

"Daddy, can we go play on the swings?" Freya ask.

"Absolutely," Harry grins. "Go throw away your trash first,"

The girls do as they're told before racing off to the playground and I let Andrew down off my lap and into the grass, allowing him to toddle with the guide of my fingers, staring up at the clouds every once in a while as Harry comes to sit by me.

"Thank you, H," I whisper in the silence.

"Thank you?" he questions. "For what?"

"For letting me know what happiness feels like,"
