"I'm happy that you're doing this, darling. I just want you to feel comfortable, okay? I don't want you to feel forced or left out in any way.", Olivia cupped her daughter's cheeks and looked in her eyes.

Meredith smiled at her and placed her own hands on her mother's.

"I'm 100% sure. I just hope that he'll like the present. I know that it's not a lot..."

"Are you kidding me? He's going to be so happy about it. No worries, baby.", Olivia caressed her daughter's cheek in a loving way.

Meredith smiled at her mother's words and leaned her cheek against Olivia's hand.

"Are you planning on wrapping it?", Olivia asked and Meredith actually thought about it.

"Maybe in a box? Even though I think it'd be better to put it in an envelope. Then maybe decorate it.", the young woman thought out loud and her mother smiled in a loving way.

"I also think that the second one fits better."

"Then that's what I will do."

Meredith has lived with the Styles/Madden for about five years.
Easily the best years of her life, because she had fun and she felt so loved and appreciated.
Her adoption didn't make her feel bad; at first it was weird but then the uncomfortable feeling was replaced by a feeling of contentment and tranquility.

She had been thinking for a long time about the present for her dad.
Meredith was slightly fearing that it was not going to be appreciated or that it wouldn't be enough.

But she knew Harry well - her mother continually reassured her that there was nothing to fear or to worry about.
Yet her insecurity still somehow overpowered her soul and made her think that way.

Meredith took some glitter and glue.
She first created abstract dots and then she sprinkled some colourful glitter on the paper, to make the envelope look like something happy and worth the wait.

She listened to some calming music - it helped to distract her from unhappy thoughts - as she waited for the glue to dry. Meredith thought of anything else she could use to decorate the pretty envelope.

She attached some stickers and then wrote a messy note.

May not be enough, but I still hope you'll like it.

Smiling to herself, she checked if the glue was dry and discovering that it was indeed, she took the papers and slid them inside the envelope.
She closed it and let out a frustrated sigh, but it was done and she couldn't take it back.

"Happy birthday, my darling.", Olivia kissed Harry on the lips, his arms finding home around her waist.
Meredith grimaced at the sight and turned away, making her parents share a laugh.

"There you go, baby.", they all sat on the carpet comfortably as Olivia handed Harry his birthday present.
Harry shyly smiled and started opening the box.

"No way.", he giggled, his eyes slowly meeting Olivia's. The woman smiled and encouraged him to continue.
Harry opened the box and set the wrapping paper aside.
His hands disappeared inside and pulled out a pair of violet shoes.

Harry slapped his forehead as Meredith looked confusingly at them.

"Really, Olivia? The shoes?", Olivia laughed and nodded, pressing her lips to his cheek - a task that was quite difficult to accomplish because he shook his head for a long time.

"Right. Thanks.", they let out a laugh at the slight sheet of awkwardness.
Meredith chuckled with them as well, her eyes on her own present.

"T-This is f-for you, dad.", she stuttered faintly and handed him her present, a content smile played on her parents' lips.

"Really lovin' the decoration here.", Harry let a finger wander on the glittered dots. Olivia's head leaned on her man's shoulder as his fingers opened the envelope - careful not to destroy it.

"Uhh, papers. Mysterious.", Harry said lowly, eager to read the words on them.
Meredith looked at him with an hopeful look behind her eyes; she caught her mother's eye, who reassuringly winked at her.

Harry's hand disappeared inside the envelope and took the three papers out.
"Let's see.", he sang.
Meredith could see his eyes move quickly, reading and rereading every word he thought he had missed.
She noticed that they quickly filled up with tears and that made her worry a little.

His eyes finally met hers and that's when a couple of tears slid down his cheeks.
"You w-want- You want to have o-our last n-name? R-Really?", Olivia's own eyes started filling with tears at the sight of her daughter's.

Harry started sobbing at the words he had read, obviously because he was overjoyed and he almost couldn't believe the reality he was living in.

Meredith crawled towards him and hugged him as hard as she could.

"I love you.", she whispered to him and he couldn't help but whisper it back with the same amount of passion and love.
