[Jenny]

It’s been rather quiet this morning. The lack of being occupied has made me wonder if I was too harsh on my mother last night. Part of me wants to apologize, yet I know that I’ve done nothing wrong here. She was clearly the one who started it and therefore I am waiting an apology from her.

“Mommy.” The sound of my beautiful daughter’s voice forces my head to lift, my eyes roaming the living room until I see her sitting on the floor playing with a few toys.

“Yes?”

“D’you like him?” She asked in a soft voice, her gaze finding mine.

My brows furrow, “What do you mean, honey?”

“The man... that-that made you cry.. you go eat with him.. you-you do things together.” Rosalie says, “do you like him?”

Almost instantly my heart shakes in my chest. Would she be upset with me if I answered truthfully? There is nothing I want more in life than to make my daughter happy and content - and if my choices end up doing the opposite of that, I don’t know what I would do to myself.
I take a deep breath, relaxing my tingling nerves. She has already informed me she’s willing to meet him, yet I don’t know if that mean she’s okay with him being around or not.

“Ye-yeah, Rose... I um, like him.” Admitting this to her frightens me - I’m already regretting this.

“He makes you happy, Mommy.”

At first I thought she was questioning me, but I came to a realization when she gave me a small smile. She's assuring me.

She continues, “You smile lots. You.. you’re happy lots.. and when you see him you come home happy.” She informs me of the things I assume I’ve never realized.

Harry does make me happy, he makes me feel comfortable and loved and just purely happy. Knowing my daughter, who is only a few months away from turning five years old, has noticed this gives me hope. She realizes that, yes Harry did make me cry that night, but being with him also makes me feel better.

“You like him, Mommy.. so I like him, too.”

“You haven’t even met him, sweetie.” I laugh slightly, I understand her words but I want her to form her own opinions about him instead of just saying things because of me.

“Can I?”

“I’ve already told you.. We’ll see.”

Her question nearly caused my heart to stop. I can’t tell if it was from the sudden worry or excitement. I want this to go well, of course, however I’m still nervous about it. I don’t want to rush into this. It needs to be approached delicately.

“Yes or no?” She asks, grinning at me.

Rosalie is my entire world, Harry and our potential relationship is second on that list. If she wants this, if she really, really wants to do this.. how can I possibly deny her of it? She is old enough to see the good and bad in people - so I want her honest thoughts.

“Yes.”

I pray that this works out for the best.

Hearing his voice brightens my day, I could never get tired of it.

“Hey, love. How’s your day been?” He says through the phone, his smile heavy in his voice.

“Pretty good actually.”

“I’m glad.”

“How’s yours?” I nervously begin to bite down on my thumb nail.

“Alright, better now that I’m talking to you.”

His flirtatious behavior always makes me feel better, even if I’m blushing from embarrassment. I take a deep breath, the thoughts continue to circle my mind. Rosalie has requested this once again, I need to give her what she wants.

“There’s something I want to ask you.” I nervously say, biting down on my cheek as I wait for him.

“What is it?” There’s worry laced in his tone, he cares so much about me. I’ve never had that from a guy before. “Are you alright?”

“I-I mean I’m.. I think I’m okay. It’s just.. weighing on my mind.” My stammering is a definite sign of that my anxiety is kicking in.

Here comes the flood of thoughts, all the horrible ways this could end for us. I hate thinking of the worse possible outcomes but I can’t prevent it.

“Hey.. you can tell me anything, love. What’s on your mind?” His kindness is something I’ve always been mind blown about. Even to the rudest servers he’s polite. He owns this trait that makes him confident and charming and nice - it’s unbelievable at times.

“Rosalie’s mentioned it again.. earlier today.” I confess, immediately a burden is lifted off me.

“About, um, her and I meeting?”

“Ye-yeah.”

Harry sighs, that only worsens my anxiety. “What did you tell her?”

My heart hasn’t stopped pounding, my stomach is steadily churning. I don’t know what to tell him - what if he isn’t ready for this? I know he’s brought it up but it’s highly possibly that he’s mentally unprepared for this situation. It’s a lot to handle and can jeopardize everything he and I have formed together. I’m afraid he’s realized that.

“I told her.. that she can meet you.” I tell him.

He stays quiet. The absolute worst is washing through my mind. Harry doesn’t want this. He isn’t ready. He doesn’t care. He’s mad at me. He hates me.

“I-I.. it’s up to you.. if you don’t want to then you d-don’t have to.” I’m quick to add this, just in case he doesn’t realize this. “She, uh, really wants to. I think it’ll go well. But I-I don’t know.”
I stop my rambling - hoping that he’ll reply to me now. My nerves are tingling, my lunch threatening to come back up my throat.

“Darlin', relax.” Harry says with a breathy laugh. “I’d love to meet her.”

“Wh-when do you want to?” The smile on my face grows, he really wants this. I’m so stupid to think he would’ve changed his mind.

“Whenever you think we should.. unless you want me to plan something. M’sure I can throw something together to please a child.” He chuckled.

“You can decide, I guess. Just let me know.”

I’m glad he’s willing to try this. It's a clear sign that he cares about the outcome. He wants this to go well, just as much as I do. That, above all, makes me feel loved. He considers my daughter and her feelings.

“Will do.” He affirmatively says. A laugh comes out of me, he’s the funniest. “Um..” Harry’s voice trails off, a heavy presence of thought can be heard. “This Saturday morning.. around ten o'clock.. um, will that work out for you?” He asks me.

“Yeah, that’s fine. We don’t have any plans.”

“Alright, good. I have something in mind.”
