Unexpected
2nd Generation 1st Chapter!!!
*2 years later*
*Narrator’s POV*
Chloe and Harry have spent the last two years busily planning their wedding and raising their beautiful 2-year-old daughter, Darcy. Tess has since graduated high school and has moved in with them, taking on the role of being Darcy’s unbiological aunt. Chloe’s mother makes frequent visits but still lives at home back in the United States.
Louis and Eleanor have become closer and haven’t had any problems since their breakup nearly 3 years ago. Harry gave in to Louis’ pleas and agreed to make Eleanor Darcy’s godmother. Darcy loves spending the night with Aunt Eleanor and Uncle Louis.
Aleanbh and Liam have had their hands full with mischievous Troy. He plays nice with Darcy when they spend time together. After much begging, Aleanbh appointed Niall and Sammie as the godparents of young Troy.
Everyone is pressed for time to get ready for the big wedding coming up in a week. Darcy and Troy turned 2 years old a few weeks ago and Harry and Chloe are rushing to make sure everything is perfect for their April 3rd wedding.
*Chloe’s POV*
“Harry, would you hurry up? I need to get to work!” I hurried and pulled on my work shirt and tie my hair back while Harry took a shower. I needed him out so he could watch Darcy. Tess was already at work (we worked different shifts) so she couldn’t watch her.
“Give me two minutes!” he yelled from behind the door.
I shook my head and tied my shoes. I shoved my wallet and cell phone into my purse and got ready to drive to work. I got a job last year at the Starbuck’s down the street as a cashier and I really could not afford to be late again this week.
Harry walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.
“It’s about time!” I gave him a quick kiss and grabbed my things.
“Have a good day,” he called after me as I walked out the door. I smiled, glad that he put up with my nagging all the time.
*Harry’s POV*
I watched Chloe walk out the door and smiled to myself. She may get on my case all the time, but I love having her looking out for me. I dropped the towel and pulled on some boxers and a pair of shorts. I ruffled my hair and walked out of the bedroom to go get Darcy.
I walked into her room and found her sitting on the floor with some dolls in her hand. As a Christmas present, Zayn had bought Darcy some of our dolls to play with. She had a blast making up scenarios which usually included the band singing something.
I sat down across from her and watched her play.
“Hey, Darcy. How’s it goin?” I asked.
She looked up when she realized I’d entered her room and smiled wide. “Good! Play with me?” she asked in her sweet little voice.
I smiled and took my own doll from her. She handed me Niall’s as well and we played for almost an hour before she got tired of dolls. I made her lunch and we watched some cartoons before Liam called asking if he and Aleanbh and Troy could come over for a while. Of course I agreed and told Darcy that they were coming over.
Her face lit up when she heard Troy’s name. I was so happy she and Troy had become such great friends. They had a joint birthday party a few weeks ago and it went great. She and Troy played with all of the gifts they’d gotten and they haven’t fought at all since they were born.
I left Darcy in the living room to watch cartoons while I went to get a shirt. Usually when we don’t have company I don’t wear a shirt and, even though I’ve known Liam for nearly 5 years, I still feel like I should put one on when he comes over. I found a plain white T-shirt and pulled it over my head as I walked back into the living room. Darcy sat in front of the T.V. watching old Tom and Jerry episodes. She seemed pretty content watching them so I didn’t say anything until Liam and Aleanbh arrived.
I let them in and Troy hobbled over to where Darcy was sitting in front of the television. He sat down next to her and looked up at the large T.V. Darcy didn’t even notice they’d come inside until the show was over.
Liam and Aleanbh and I watched them play together until Tess came home. She played with them for a few hours before she went to take a nap. The kids were so absorbed in each other; they didn’t realize the sun had gone down. Chloe came home after her shift was over and we all watched them play. They may not realize it yet, but there’s something special between them.
*Wedding Day*
*Chloe’s POV*
I was standing in the dressing room, my dress on and my friends standing around me. My mother was putting finishing touches on my hair while Tess did my make-up.
Today was the day: I was getting married.
“There,” my mom said as she backed away. “Finished. You look amazing, Chloe.”
Tess finished my make-up and I gave them both a hug before looking in the mirror. I was breathless when I saw what they’d done. My hair was curled perfectly with a white flower tucked in behind my ear. My make-up was 100% natural but made me look more beautiful than I’d ever thought possible.
My bridesmaids – Sammie, Tess, and Aleanbh – hugged me and it was time to get out to the altar. My father had flown in just for the wedding so he could walk me down the aisle. I heard the music starting in the church so I stepped out of the room as everyone else rushed to their seats. I took my father’s arm and made my way to the entrance.
He gave me a warm smile and a kiss on the cheek before we made our way down the aisle. Everyone’s eyes were on me, including Harry’s. All of the other boys stood in matching tuxes on the right side of the room, my bridesmaids on the left. My mother sat up front, turned around with tears in her eyes as she watched me walking down the aisle.
I smiled at everyone and followed Darcy, our little flower girl, who was throwing flower petals onto the carpet in front of me. When we reached the front, Darcy ran off to sit with her grandmother and watch her parents get married.
My dad gave me another kiss before he sat down by my mother. I stood next to Harry and smiled at him. His eyes were twinkling as the minister read from a little book. He read slowly and kept glancing back and forth between Harry and me. When he finally got to the “I do” part, Harry and I were ready to get this done so we could be married already.
“Harry, do you take Chloe, to be your lawfully wedded wife-“
“I do,” Harry interrupted.
The minister looked taken aback for a moment but continued anyway. “And do you, Chloe, take Harry to be your lawfully wedded husband?” He stopped this time, expecting me to interrupt.
“I do,” I said with a smile. Harry slid the ring on my finger and I slid mine on his. We looked at the minister and waited for the last words of the ceremony.
“You may now kiss the bride,” he announced.
We didn’t need to be told twice.
The rest of the wedding flew by smoothly with a toast from Harry’s best man (Louis) and a wonderful announcement from my parents (they were getting back together).
We partied late into the night and I watched as Darcy and Troy danced together as Harry and I had our slow dance.
There’s no way I won’t see this scene again, I thought to myself.
