Little Things

Chapter 44

The day before the wedding, Madison and I went to my last dress fitting. I had to get it altered because my waistline wasn't as thin as it had been five months ago. I took the dress to Madison's where I'd be staying the night. All of the bridesmaids had their dresses and all of my family and Harry's were in town.

"I'm getting married tomorrow," I said incredulously.

"I can't wait for you and Harry to finally get married," Madison replied with a laugh.

"Can we drop by my house so I can get my bag and say goodbye to Harry and Elizabeth?" I asked.

"Yeah, of course," she answered. Once we arrived at my house, I got out of the car and went inside. I was immediately greeted by Honey. I leaned down to pet the sweet dog and smiled.

"Harry, where are you?" I called out.

"I'm up here in Elizabeth's room," he called back. I walked up the stairs and found him exactly where he said he'd be, playing with our daughter.

"Hello, my love," Harry said, giving me a kiss. "I thought you were at Madison's?"

"I came to get my bag and to say goodnight to you and Elizabeth," I replied.

"Can you believe we're getting married tomorrow?" he asked.

"It's crazy," I sighed, smiling. "It seems like it was just yesterday when I stumbled into you in that bar."

"I'm glad that you did."

"Me too."

"I love you, Sara."

"I love you more, Harry."

Harry kissed me and handed Elizabeth to me. I smiled at her and kissed her chubby cheeks. I hated that I wouldn't be able to see her until the wedding, but I knew that it would be better to leave her with Harry at home.

"I'll see you tomorrow, sweet girl," I whispered before kissing her cheek. Elizabeth smiled at me and I smiled back before rocking her to sleep and laying her in her crib.

Saying goodnight to Harry would've been easier if I hadn't been pregnant and hormonal.

"Baby, why are you crying?" Harry asked, wiping a tear off my face with his thumb.

"I'm going to miss you," I sobbed. Harry pulled me to his chest and I cried into his shirt.

"Hormones?"

I nodded and sniffled. Harry kissed my head and squeezed my shoulders. It took a few minutes for me to calm down, but even after I did I stayed in Harry's arms. Being away from him, even for one night, was going to be torturous.

"I love you so much, Sara," Harry said. He lifted my face up so we were looking into each other's eyes. I closed the small space between us and pressed my lips to his. He slowly molded our lips together and put his hands on my waist, pulling me to him.

"I love you Harry," I breathed as I pulled away. I was marrying him tomorrow. This was my last night as Sara Patterson; in 24 hours, I would be Sara Styles.

"Sleep well, my love," Harry whispered. He crouched down to place a kiss on my stomach. I smiled and ran my fingers through his hair.

"I'll see you tomorrow," I said as Harry stood up. "I can't wait to marry you."

"You still want to marry me?" Harry teased. "You want to marry Harry?"

I laughed and replied, "How long have you been waiting to use that one?"

"Long enough."

I laughed again and kissed Harry. I left the house and got into Madison's car. She drove us to her apartment in time for dinner.
