I cleaned up the mess from lunch while Harry tended to Darcy who was crying loudly from her crib. Chelsea still packing up all of her things, planning on putting them God knows where. Awkwardness still filling the air, I became uncomfortable. I walked into Darcy’s room and shut the door, so Chelsea wouldn’t be able to hear.
"Is there anyway we could get out for the day? Do you want to do something? Or could we go to your place?" I asked.
"Yeah, we could go to my place. I heard it’s supposed to storm later, I don’t think the park or anything is a great idea." Harry said, changing Darcy’s diaper.
"Let me pack a few things.." I muttered, and picked up Darcy’s diaper bag from her rocking chair. I slipped multiple different outfits in it for Darcy, some formula, diapers, and pacifiers.
I ran into my room quickly and changed also, I slipped into a pink floral tank top and white jean short shorts. There might be a storm coming but it was still really hot outside. I put my white Gladiator sandals on and fixed my make up and my curls before walking out of my room to find Harry sneaking out of Darcy’s room quietly with her in his arms.
"Ready?" He asked me.
"Yeah, let me grab my purse and her diaper bag." I whispered before slipping back into her room, picking up her diaper bag then walking into the living room and getting my purse. Afterwards we walked over to Harry’s which was a long walk but the fresh air was nice.
As we became close to Harry’s flat, the skies begun to turn grey and the sunshine went away. He opened the door and the three of us went inside. The air conditioning felt so nice on my hot skin. I laid out toys on the rug in the living room for Darcy to play with, I laid her on the floor with them and turned the TV onto Nick Jr.
Harry’s phone began to buzz against the counter while he was in his room changing into something else. I couldn’t help but look over at who was calling him. On the phone it changed to One Missed Call from Erika. I frowned, who is she? …She must be the girl he wants around Darcy. Immediately after the missed call screen faded away a text message from Erika popped up. The message read, ‘Hey baby<3 I haven’t talked to you in awhile, I miss you): Call me! I want to see you tonight;)
That confirmed my thoughts on who Erika was, she had to be the girl he was seeing. I felt a little piece of my heart break as the screen began to fade away. Nearly a minute later Harry’s bedroom door creaked and he appeared walking towards me from down the hall.
"Did my phone ring?" Harry asked.
"Uh.. No." I lied.
"Alright, so what should we do?" He looked at me.
"I don’t know to be honest." I replied.
Harry went and sat on the couch, I went and sat next to him as he pulled his laptop up on his lap and searched random stores online. After a little while, he stopped and looked at me.
"What?" I ask.
"I want to baby proof this flat.. How do I baby proof?" He chuckled at his words.
"Go to Babies R Us’ website and I’ll show you all the right things you should get." I instructed.
Harry typed in the web address and we roamed around the website and added a bunch of different things to a cart online. We bought a bunch of different things like safety plugs for the outlets, corner stoppers for the tables so Darcy wouldn’t hurt herself. Baby proof locks for cabinets and baby gates so she couldn’t try and use the stairs.
"It should ship tomorrow and we’ll have it in a few days." Harry smiled at me.
"Nice." I said simply.
Darcy continued to coo at the TV while it showed all of the shows that fascinated her. Harry’s phone began to buzz again, he heard it and stood up to answer it.
"Hello?" He said into the phone. "No… No I’m at my flat… No.. Yeah….. I can’t tonight… Because…. Because I’m not feeling that great tonight…. No you don’t have to come over, I don’t want to get you sick…. Yeah I’ll call you tomorrow….. Alright… Alright bye." Was all I heard of his conversation.
"Who was that?" I asked as he plumped down next to me on the couch again.
"Just someone." He rolled his eyes.
"What’s your girlfriend up to? You’ve been with me the past few days, have you seen her at all?" I questioned.
"Actually… That was her on the phone. I don’t know why but lately she’s been irritating me. I don’t know. I said I’d call her tomorrow, maybe I’ll hang out with her for a few but if it’s alright I’d like to come over afterwards and see Darcy?" Harry suggested.
"As long as you aren’t drunk, you’re more than welcome to come over." I said.
Harry smiled at me than looked at Darcy banging on her toys, he got down on the floor and started playing with her. I smiled and secretively snapped a photo of the two of them together. I sent it to my Dad, proving him that everything was well. I later received a text back that he’s happy to see her. Eventually it started to storm and it was way worse than I was expecting. Lights began to flicker and everything. Darcy was asleep on the floor under multiple blankets and pillows surrounding her safely. Oh how storms terrified me. Harry was in the shower at the moment.
"Emma are you alright?" Harry said after he walked out of the shower. I was on the couch and couldn’t see down the hall due to being on the other side of the room.
"F-Fine." I whispered loudly so he’d hear.
It was quiet for a few minutes, I could hear Harry rummaging around in his room. Minutes later he came out, lit candles all around the room and sat next to me on the couch.
"You’re scared aren’t you?" He asked, putting his arm around me. As if my shaking wasn’t giving it away.
I nodded quickly and he pulled me closer to him. I laid my head on his shoulder and my shakes began to sooth down. He laid back on the couch and pulled me with him, half my body laid on top of him, my head on his chest and his arm around me. The lights completely out because of the storm, candles giving a dim light and our baby girl asleep on the floor. Eventually I felt safe enough and I let myself doze off into a light sleep. I felt Harry’s hand rub up and down my back which is what drifted me off into sleep.
I woke up an hour later, the storm barely any better than when I fell asleep. Harry was asleep beneath me. I tried to get up off him without waking him up but when I had half of myself off him, he woke up.
"It’s still raining?" He asked as he propped himself up on one arm and looked out the window.
"Yup.. It’s still as bad as it was like an hour ago." I whispered
Darcy was still asleep on the floor.
"Are you cold?" He looked at me.
"Just a little." I shrugged.
"Come with me." Harry stood up, grabbed my hand and we walked to his room.
Once we were in his room he released my hand walking over to his dresser and he pulled out a pair of sweat pants and went into his closet, he pulled out a pull over hoodie. He handed them over to me and walked out of the room. I changed into them and left my clothes on the floor in his room. I walked out to find him in the kitchen trying to cook under candle light.
"Do you want help?" I asked
"Nah, I’m okay.. Should we wake up Darcy and feed her?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah probably, I don’t want her up all night." I said before walking out of the kitchen.
I woke up Darcy and made her a bottle, I sat on the couch with her while she drank it. Once she was done, I burped her and laid with her on the couch for a little bit until Harry announced that dinner for him and I was finished. I scooped Darcy back into my arms from the couch and went into the dinning room where candles were lit all around the table for us.
I held Darcy on my lap and bounced her on my thigh while I ate dinner with Harry. She held one of her toys and continued to laugh at the noises it made. Which gave Harry and I laughs.
Dinner was finished, and cleaned up. The night progressed and the storm just wasn’t letting up.
"I’d feel a lot better if you stayed here tonight.. I don’t want you trying to go out there and I don’t want you taking Darcy out there." Harry confessed.
"Where is she going to sleep?" I asked.
"We could always put more blankets on the floor and put pillows around her again. She can lay on my floor in my room, theres carpet in there." Harry said.
"Alright." I agreed.
Harry and I made a comfy, cozzy bed on Harry’s floor for Darcy. Around 9 we laid her down for bed and she fell asleep easily.
"Do you have any pillows or blankets?" I asked, while laying on the couch.
"Yeah, why?" He asked.
"So I can sleep out here." I replied.
"Why don’t you sleep in my room? It’s a lot more comfortable." Harry insisted.
"Are you okay with it?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah I don’t mind.. I’ll sleep on the couch." Harry smiled softly.
"C-Can you sleep in the room with me? I don’t know about this storm.. It still kinda scares me." I confessed.
"Yeah I’ll sleep in there with you. Come on, are you tired?" He asked while standing up.
"Yeah." I nodded.
Both of us went into Harry’s room and climbed into the bed which was really comfortable. Under the covers, we got comfortable, facing each other. I closed my eyes after looking at him for a minute.
"Goodnight." Harry whispered.
"Goodnight." I repeated quietly.
Seconds later I was shocked with Harry’s lips pressed against mine. Before I could kiss back, Harry pulled away.
"I-I’m sorry. I don’t know why I did that." He apologized.
"It’s fine… Goodnight." I smiled at him then closed my eyes and fell asleep quickly.
