Two days later

Harry probably thinks I'm a maniac. I'm rushing around like a chicken without a head!

"Mabel!" Harry laughs as he wraps his arms around my waist as I was rushing by. "Babe you need to calm down. Your stressing out."

"Yeah because people will be here In like.... an hour!" I gasp as I wiggle my way out of his grip. I walk into the kitchen and pull the cookies out of the oven and then place them on the stove.

"Mabel." Harry says as he turns me around. "Calm down, I'm trying to help but your not giving me time to catch up. My mum will be here in a few-"

"What?!" I push him away and rush upstairs.

I knew Anne, Robin, and Gemma were coming but not this soon! They're staying for Christmas and so is my mother, brother, and nana. Anne & robin are in a room, Gemma has her own room, My mom & jake are together, Nana has her own room, and Harry and I staying in my room like usual. I had to sort things out since we only have five rooms.

I start going through each room, making sure that everything is the way it should be when I open the room door next to mine to find the presents.

Shit! I forgot to take the presents down!

"Harry!" I yell.

"Right here." he says from behind me.

I jump but start grabbing stuff. Harry gets the hint and starts picking stuff up. we carry the stuff down as there's a knock at the front door. I almost drop the presents.

"Their here!" I whisper/yell.

Harry laughs at me as I rush to put the stuff under the tree. I turn run my fingers through my hair. I follow harry to the front door and he opens it.

"Hey!" Anne exclaims.

"Hi mum." harry says as he hugs her.

"Hi." I say awkwardly to Robin as I hug him.

"How are you sweetie?" He asks as we pull away.

"Stressed." Harry says before me.

I shoot him a look as Anne hugs me. "Why are you stressed?"

"It's nothing."

"It's obviously something." Anne says as Harry takes their bags.

"This is the first time I have done this without Lia... my best friend." I sigh and she leads me to the livingroom.

"Why isn't she here helping you?" She asks.

"She had to pick up her grandmother at the airport but she'll be at the party." I say and she nods.

"What else do you need done?" She asks.

"I just need the Mac & cheese made then I have to get ready myself." i sigh.

"I'll make the Mac and cheese, you go get ready." she pats my knee and stands up.

"Thank you." I sigh of relief.

I stand up and run up the stairs. I take a quick shower, straighten my hair, curl my ends, do the water fall hairstyle, put on a pair of white jeans, a red and white sweater, and a new pair of uggs that harry surprised me with. I put my engagement ring back on, which I took off to cook, put on a pair of pearl earrings, and put on the pandora bracelet that my dad got me. I spray on my favorite perfume, country chic aka a bath and body works perfume and go down the stairs.

"You look adorable." Harry says as I walk into the kitchen.

"Thanks." I smile and that's when I notice that my mom and Jake are sitting at the table.

"Sissy!" Jake shouts as he slides out of the chair.

"Hey little man." I laugh as I pick him up.

"Oh my god is that a ring on your hand!?" My mom shouts making Jake and I jump.

"Uh."

"You said yes and you didn't tell me!?" She says as she hugs me.

"I wanted it to be a surprise." I laugh.

"What's going on?" Jake asks as he pushes my mom away from me.

"Mabel and Harry are getting married!" She claps her hands together then turns to Anne who is trying to bite back a smile. "Were going to be mother in laws!" My mom hugs Anne and I look at Harry who smiles.

"Your getting married?" Jake gasps.

"Yes I am." I say as I hold him closer.

"So Harrys going to be my uncle?" He asks confused and I laugh.

"No silly, he's going to be your brother In law." I say and he smiles.

"Yay! I have a brother!"

We all laugh and I set him down. Harry wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me to him. He kisses the top of my head and I smile to myself as I look around.

I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with these people.
