**Jenna's POV**

Ryan should be home in a few days. Harley is counting down the days till she sees him again.

"Do you wanna make some cookies for when daddy comes home?" I asked her

"Yes! Can we make chocolate chip?"

"Of course! That's the best kind!"

I got out the stuff to make cookies. I also got out a big bowl and a stool for Harley

"What do we put in first?" Harley asked

"The flour" I said getting the measuring cups

"Who taught you to make cookies, mommy?"

"My mom taught me, and now I'll teach you"

"I like it when you teach me things"

I smiled at my daughter as she stirred the cookie dough mixture

"I think it's done mommy"

"You forgot the most important part!" I said holding a bag of chocolate chips

Harley gasped "Oh no! And that's daddy's favortie part!"

I laughed and put the chocolate chips in the bowl

"Ok, now we have to roll them into balls"

"Can we make tiny ones for my brother?"

"He can't eat cookies yet"

"You can feed them to him!" Harley said in her duh voice

"Ok, we can make tiny ones"

Harley and I rolled the dough then put them in the oven.

"What do you want to do while we wait?" I asked Harley

"Can you paint my nails?"

"Of course. Go get whatever color you want"

Harley ran and got the little bottle of pink nail polish and brought it to the living room with the dogs following close behind her.

Harley sat next to me and put her hand on the top of my baby bump.

"You know, I used to paint your Uncle Chris' nails sometimes"

"Really?"

"Yeah, right after I met daddy actually"

I smiled at the memory. I had painted Chris' nails right before the first tour they went on. The same tour where Ryan kissed me and we didn't talk for years after.

"How did you meet daddy?"

"We met at our old jobs. We worked at a music store."

"Did you fall in love with daddy like princesses fall in love with the Prince?"

"Well, maybe not that fast, but almost"

"Did you and daddy always want me?"

"What's with all these questions, but yes we did."

After I finished her nails we got  the cookies out of the oven to cool.

"Mommy, where did these flowers come from?"

I saw a vase of flowers on the counter that weren't there before

"They're from me" Ryan said smirking coming from around the counter

"DADDY!! YOU'RE HOME!" Harley ran into his arms

"Yeah, I wanted to surprise you! Now, let's eat some cookies"

"Um, don't you think you should kiss your wife first?" I asked

Ryan came over to me still holding Harley, and kissed me

"Thank you. Now, I'll get some milk y'all go get a movie going"

Harley decided to make us watch Frozen for the thousandth time. I sat on one side of Ryan while Harley was on the other. This is the way I always want it to be. Just Ryan, Harley, Xavier, and me.....the dogs too of course
