thank you so much to kiantrans for requesting this chapter!
"Penelope Camryn I'm gonna get you!"Harry coos as he stomps down the hall dramatically, not moving too fast since Penny only learned how to walk two months ago, so she's really not moving too fast.
"Faster Pen, faster, don't let papa get you!"Calum laughs from his spot on the couch with his sketchbook on his lap as he watches Penny waddle through the hall with her chubby legs toddling as fast as they possibly can.
"Run run run!"Harry chuckles from behind Penny, watching as her little feet stomp against the wood floor, her hair pulled up into a little ponytail at the top of her hazel head. She has diaper cover shorts on that show her whole legs with a ruffle on her bum that's swinging side to side as she continues to toddle down the hall. "I'm catching up to you, Pen!"
"Nellie run run run, use your arms,"Morgan giggles as she walks past Penny, motioning with her arms as she tries to teach Penny to swing them.
"Hey guys,"Harry greets with a little smile as Lennon, Nora, Auggie, Bowie and Morgan all walk through the door after driving home from school.
"Little Lady where're you goin' where's my hug?"Lennon calls with a little chuckle, his backpack hanging off of one of his shoulder with his hand interlocked in Nora's.
"You j-j-just g-got s-s-snuffed,"Auggie snickers, leaning down to take off his black vans as Penny runs right past Lennon who squatted down with his arms wide open, still trying to escape her papa.
"Ooo, someone's not the favorite anymore, baby,"Nora giggles, reaching her hand down to run through Lennon's brown curls as his pouts his bottom lip out, watching longingly as Penny runs into the kitchen where Camryn is muddling around the kitchen making a few little deserts.
"Oh my goodness, who's that?"Camryn coos with a little giggle as she feels Penny run into her legs, her little arms wrapping around Camryn's calves as she buries her face into Camryn's shins.
"Penny girl, hi baby!"Camryn laughs, setting down the baking pan in her hands filled with cookie dough balls so that she can pick Penny up.
"I'm gonna get you Penny! Nana can't hide you!"Harry teases, keeping his hands out in front of him as he wiggles his fingers towards Penny who continues to squeal and dig her face into Camryn's legs.
"Oh my goodness, baby girl! Is papa getting you?"Camryn laughs, leaning down to pick Penny up, her little hands reaching up towards Camryn as she smiles widely up at her grandma. "C'mere, nana will save you, c'mere."
"Oh no! Now I can't get you! I guess I'll just have to give you kisses,"Harry laughs, leaning in to press a kiss to Penny's cheek as she giggles and tries to shy away from his whiskers.
"Oh is papa kissing you? Does it tickle? I know, papa needs to shave, huh?"Camryn giggles, pressing a kiss to Penny's other cheek as she continues to try and nuzzle her face closer to Camryn's face.
"Do you not like my whiskers, Penny Cam?"Harry gasps in fake offense, wrapping his arms around Camryn's waist as he tips his temple down to press against Camryn's. "You look mighty cute on the other hand, your mumma always dresses you up so cute, huh?"
"Yeah, your mummy loves you so much,"Camryn whispers, nuzzling her lips down to Penny's and pressing a little kiss to her smooth lips as her cheek rests on Camryn's shoulder. "And nana and papa love you so much."
"Mama,"Penny babbles, her big blue eyes widening as she flings her head off of Camryn's shoulder, twisting her head around on her neck in every which direction to try and find Darcy.
"Mama? Mama will be home in just a bit,"Camryn promises, peeking over at the clock on the microwave, "she's finishing up her last class right now. I'm sure she missed you! Do you miss mama when she goes to school?"
"Mama,"Penny babbles again, saying pretty much the only word she knows and uses regularly. Everything is 'mama' and currently the sheet of cookie dough in front of her on the counter are "mama".
"Oh the cookies? Do you want some? I think nana can sneak you some as long as you don't tell your mumma,"Camryn grins, reaching forward to pull a little of the chocolate chip dough away from one of the cookie balls, guiding it towards Penny's lips as she opens her mouth and leans towards it. "Is that yummy? Can you say 'mmmm'."
"Mama,"Penny babbles, looking over at Camryn as she continues to chew on the cookie dough.
"Mama? Just mama, that's all you wanna say, huh?"Camryn laughs, looking to the side at Harry who still has his arms wrapped around her waist, his face broken out into a little grin as he leans in to press a kiss to Penny's cheek.
"Mama,"Penny babbles, looking behind her shoulder as she hears footsteps enter into the kitchen.
"Nooo, that's not mama, that's Uncle Auggie, you know who that is,"Camryn grins, watching as Auggie dramatically drops his jaw open and scrunches his fingers in Penny's direction, holding his hands out for her.
"Hi b-b-baby! C-C-Can I h-h-have s-s-snuggles?"Auggie asks, watching as Penny unwraps her arms around Camryn's neck and reaches her tiny palms towards Auggie.
"Oh yeah, you love your Auggie, huh?"Harry grins, watching as Auggie takes Penny into his hands, throwing her up in the air slightly before catching her and planting a kiss on her cheek.
"T-There's my P-Penny, k-k-kisses?"Auggie asks, puckering his lips in Penny's direction as she puckers her own tiny lips and presses them against his, giving him a big slobbery kiss as he giggles and hums into the kiss. "Oh y-y-yummy, P-Penny s-s-slobber."
"Oh f*ck off,"Bowie hisses, rolling his eyes at Morgan since he knows that's something that really pisses Morgan off.
"Hey, not around Pen,"Harry chastises, shaking his head as he looks over his shoulder at Bowie who's entering into the kitchen with Morgan trailing behind him who has her arms crossed against her chest, an angry grimace plastered on her face. "What's going on?"
"He's been so short with me all day,"Morgan complains, looking over at her best friend who sighs heavily and shakes his head, going straight for the fridge so that he won't have to look at her.
"He's an ass sometimes, isn't he, MoMo,"Harry teases Bowie with a little smirk, holding his hands out towards Morgan who walks over to Harry, wrapping her arms around his middle, the only father figure in her life since she was two years old.
"All the time,"Morgan grumbles, resting her cheek against Harry's chest as he chuckles and tightens his grip around her shoulders.
"Why are you even here if you're just gonna be pissy,"Bowie shoots back drinking a bit of orange juice straight from the carton before putting it back in the fridge and walking out of the kitchen.
"F*ck you,"Morgan calls after Bowie, breaking away from Harry to look at Bowie as Harry cringes and looks towards Penny to make sure she's not picking up on the conversation. Nothing's better than having your second and third word be "f*ck you". Darcy would love that for sure.
"Gosh they're volatile,"Harry chuckles, widening his eyes as he turns around to look at Camryn who's chuckling to herself as Morgan continues to chase Bowie up the stairs so he can't close and lock his bedroom door before she gets in. "It's a miracle they're still best friends."
"It works for them,"Camryn shrugs nonchalantly with a little smirk as she continues to scoop cookie dough balls onto the pan. "In some twisted way it's like they both like it."
"A-Alright, c-c-c'mere, you d-d-don't need to h-hear any of t-t-that, should w-w-we go p-p-play,"Auggie laughs, pressing a kiss to Penny's rosy cheek as she sits on his hip, looking curiously towards where she's taking him.
"Hey, there's my girl, c'mere,"Lennon smiles immediately as Auggie and Penny walk into the living room, holding his hands out towards Penny with his head in Nora's lap as they sit on the couch. "Gimme her, I haven't had any Penny cuddles today."
"I've g-g-gotta s-s-study so y-you can h-h-have her,"Auggie agrees, walking over to the couch and handing Penny down to Lennon whose face immediately brightens at the sight of Penny, his true love.
"Hi sweetie, hi, I love you so much,"Lennon smiles, taking Penny and hugging her tightly to his chest as Nora continues to comb her fingers through his brown curls. "I missed you while I was at school! Why can't you just come with me, huh?"
"Hi Pen, how're you doing, babe,"Nora grins, her free arm perched up on the arm of the couch with her elbow as she rests her cheek in her palm, watching as Penny and Lennon lay chest to chest, her head perched up as she looks up at Nora with a gummy smile. "Oh look at that smile! You have the cutest smile ever, baby."
"Say 'hi Nora',"Lennon grins, taking Penny's wrist and making Penny wave towards Nora as she giggles cutely and collapses her face down against Lennon's.
"Oh sh—"Lennon stops himself with a little pained chuckle, as he keeps his hands holding onto Penny's middle. "Gosh you totally just broke my nose, ow Pen."
Penny giggles and digs her fingers into the neckline of Lennon's shirt, her forehead pressed against his lips as he presses a million little kisses to her skin.
"Hey, look at me, cutie, can I see you,"Lennon coos as Penny keeps her forehead against his lips, her true father-like figure. "Hey, Pen." The sound of her name gets her attention as she looks up at Lennon with droopy blue eyes. "Oh hey, there're those blue eyes. Are you so sleepy? Did you not go down for a good nap for nana?"
"A terrible one,"Camryn calls from the kitchen, hearing Lennon's little conversation with Penny as Lennon chuckles at Camryn's response.
"You took a terrible nap? Why'd you do that Pen?"he grins as her little cheek collapses onto his lips as she tries to snuggle closer to him, the sleep overcoming her now that she's with her second favorite person, her favorite is her mumma of course. "You only go to sleep for your mumma and I, huh?"
"Oh she's going to sleep for you right now, baby,"Nora grins, her heart bursting just as it always does when she watches Lennon with Penny. She knows he loves her, but she also knows Penny will always be number one in his heart, and she's completely fine with that. Seeing Lennon with Penny is everything to her.
"Are you snuggling with me?"Lennon whispers, rubbing his palm up and down Penny's back as he feels her tiny body relax more against his chest. "I love snuggling with you. Although it's kinda late for you to have a nap, but I don't care because your mumma has to put you to bed tonight, not me."
"You're terrible,"Nora giggles, shaking her head as she continues to scratch her fingers against Lennon's scalp. "You should keep her up, baby. It's too late."
"Mmm, that's Darcy's problem, not mine, besides if she falls asleep I'll get more snuggles,"Lennon grins cheekily, looking up at Nora who's looking down at him with a little grin and a head shake.
"Are you Uncle Lennie's buddy, Pen?"Nora smiles, watching as a mighty yawn escapes Penny's little mouth, her jaw dropping as her lips waver, her eyes scrunching closed.
"Yeah, you're my little munchkin, huh?"Lennon whispers, combing his fingers through Penny's thin hair as she rests her cheek on his chest, her little palm resting on his chest. "My little lady."
"Here, do you want your paci, sweetie?"Nora asks, leaning over to the table right next to the couch and grabbing a spare pink pacifier off of it to pluck it in between Penny's lips as she immediately begins sucking on it.
"I love you, I love you, I love you,"Lennon whispers, pressing his lips against the top of Penny's head as she snuggles her face deeper into Lennon's chest. "I love you."

(The Next Day)
"You okay, Augs?"Harry asks from the driver's seat as him, Camryn, Lennon and Auggie make their way towards the dental office. He's been constantly checking the rearview mirror and studying Auggie's face which has fear written all over it.
"I h-h-hate g-g-going under,"Auggie sighs, resting his temple against the window as he feels Lennon glance over at him from the other seat.
Auggie has had a lot of experience going under anesthesia ever since he was a little kid since they always sedated him before his MRI's when they were still trying to figure out his stutter, which were all quite traumatic for him considering he was so little. Once he was around the age of five they stopped using the sedation during MRI's since he was finally able to stay still enough, but he still had four years of traumatic experiences that have stayed with him his whole life and have given him a huge fear of sedation and anesthesia in general.
It's not even just a fear for himself, it's for anyone he cares about. He was worried sick the entire time Darcy was giving birth because he knew there was a very small chance an emergency could cause her to be emergency transferred from their home to have a c section or another surgery. He could barely move the entire time Darcy was in labor, and whenever Calum gets a kidney stone that's large enough to need to go under anesthesia and be operated on, he can't focus on anything else or really move until he knows he's okay.
"You're gonna be fine, babe, it's not even a big operation, you'll be totally okay,"Camryn assures Auggie, turning sideways in her seat to look behind her shoulder at him, sharing a comforting grin with Auggie.
"We don't even go fully under, it's just laughing gas,"Lennon tries his best to comfort Auggie as well, reaching over to pat Auggie's thigh. "We'll just go to sleep and wake up and say some funny sh*t."
"Auggie's gonna give up all of his secrets,"Harry teases, sharing a sly grin with Auggie as he looks back at him through the rear view mirror. "He's gonna tell us all about the girls he's shagged."
"A-All of t-t-t-the m-m-many,"Auggie plays along with a little snort, his fingers nervously fiddling in his lap.
"Anything I say about what Nora and I have done is just the drugs speaking,"Lennon warns, holding his hands up in innocence and suddenly getting...very worried about the things that may come out of his mouth when he's high. He should've thought this through more...he should've had Nora come along with him to slap her hand over his mouth when he started to say too much.
"You say that as if you guys don't practically shag on the kitchen counter before dinner in front of all of us,"Harry snickers, rolling his eyes as he turns down the street where the dental office is.
"We do not!"Lennon claims in offense, his voice raising a few octaves as everyone else in the car snickers quietly to themselves.
"Len, we were all walking around the kitchen last night while you guys swallowed each other in the corner and the only thing that finally got you to break apart was dad bringing in Penny who was having a meltdown,"Camryn points out, looking behind her shoulder at Lennon who goes beet red and bows his head in embarrassment.
"She looked really hot last night,"Lennon mutters with a sheepish smile as Auggie fake gags beside him.
*
"Baby, you're gonna be just fine,"Camryn promises, sitting in the waiting room with Auggie on one side of her and Harry on the other, her hand rested on Auggie's back and her other one clasped between both of his as he leans over his knees that are bouncing uncontrollably.
"I r-r-really don't w-w-w-want to d-d-do this,"Auggie whimpers, collapsing his forehead onto his and Camryn's interlocked hands.
"I know, it will only be a few minutes, you're fine, baby,"Camryn promises, leaning over her knees as well and pressing a kiss to his temple. "It's nothing major, just getting a few teeth pulled."
"Alright, Nor just texted me and said she's gonna come over after to stay with me,"Lennon informs Harry and Camryn, looking up from his phone with a little grin. "She said she wants to see me when I'm all loopy."
"Y-You're g-g-gonna t-try to f-f-f*ck her w-w-while you're l-l-loopy,"Auggie responds, looking up from his and Camryn's interlocked hands to glance at Lennon who rolls his eyes and flips Auggie off briefly.
"It will be no different than when he's sober,"Harry smirks, resting his head back against the wall as he keeps his hand rested on Camryn's lower back.
"I just love her a lot,"Lennon mutters, looking down at his phone, completely smitten just as he has been ever since he started dating Nora six months ago. Normally the honey moon phase wears off, but it hasn't for Lennon and he's pretty sure it never will. He's never been so captivated by a person.
"That's good, baby,"Camryn smiles, reaching her hand off of Auggie's back to squeeze Lennon's shoulder. "I'm glad you love her, you're a great boyfriend."
"I f-f-feel like I'm g-g-gonna puke,"Auggie whimpers, resting his forehead back down against his and Camryn's interlocked hands.
"Don't do it all over me,"Lennon murmurs with a sly smirk, looking over at Auggie who shoots him a death glare, wanting to puke on his brother who's notably fearful of vomit just to get back at him a bit.
"August and Lennon Styles?"a nurse asks, peeking her head out from behind one of the office doors, saving Lennon and Auggie from teasing each other anymore and making them refocus on why they're currently sitting in a dental office with each other.
*
"Alright love, I'm just gonna put this over your nose, okay?"the female dental assistant warns Auggie, Camryn sitting right next to him on a little stool with his hand tightly interlocked with his. Harry chose to go with Lennon since he knew Lennon wouldn't need as much support and motherly comfort as Auggie does, and even though Camryn's only allowed to stay until Auggie goes under, it still makes him feel infinitely better to have his hand tightly interlocked with hers.
"'k-kay,"Auggie quietly agrees with a little twitch that resembles a head nod as his stiff body continues to lay back against the dental chair, his eyes staring up at the fluorescent lights above him as the doctor puts a little contraption over his nose. "Is i-it a-a-already s-s-starting?"
"No no, not yet, we haven't turned it on yet,"the dental assistant grins softly, squeezing Auggie's shoulder as she moves over to the table to sort a few tools as the orthodontist walks in.
"Hey mate,"the orthodontist, Dr. O, greets as he walks into the room, placing his hand on Auggie's shoulder and standing over him, giving his shoulder a reassuring squeeze. "How're you doing? Are you ready for this?"
"I g-g-guess so,"Auggie whispers with a little uncertain grin, but he's trying to appear as strong as possible and as brave as he can, and Camryn loves him for it.
"You're gonna be just fine, I've never had anything go wrong in this chair, alright? I promise,"Dr. O grins, patting Auggie's shoulder before pulling up a stool and sitting down on it, "are you ready?"
"Y-Yeah,"Auggie bravely gulps, his Adam's apple moving up and down as he turns his head slightly to the side to glance at Camryn who nods at him lovingly and trails her fingers up and down his arm just as she always did whenever she was putting the kids to bed.
"You ready, mum?"Dr. O asks with a little smirk, looking over at Camryn as he puts his hand on the switch to turn on the laughing gas.
"Yeah,"Camryn responds with a little grin, bringing her and Auggie's interlocked hands up to her lips to press a comforting kiss to his hand, her free hand raising to his straight blonde hair as she begins to scrunch her fingers against his scalp.
"W-W-Wait!"Auggie suddenly panics with a high edge to his voice that halts Dr. O from turning on the laughing gas. "I c-c-can't."
"Sweetie, look at me,"Camryn soothes, putting on her most calming voice as she leans more towards Auggie whose bleu eyes are beginning to dart back and forth between Camryn's, his black rimmed glasses beginning to fog. "You're just fine, Auggie Bear. You're just fine."
"I c-c-can't d-do it,"Auggie whimpers, shaking his head as Camryn shakes her head and leans even closer to him, trying to hide him in a way.
"Just look at me, keep looking at me, okay? You're just gonna go to sleep,"Camryn soothes, continuing to comb her fingers through Auggie's blonde hair, "and I'm gonna be right with you the whole time, okay? Can we start putting you to sleep? Just a little nap, babe." She flicks her eyes up towards Dr. O to signal for him to start the laughing gas before her eyes find Auggie's matching blue ones again. "Just keep looking at me. Do you want me to tell you a story?"
"T-T-The g-gas started,"Auggie whimpers, feeling the gas begin to blow in his nostrils.
"Yeah, that's okay, that's totally okay,"Camryn soothes, leaning in to press a kiss to Auggie's forehead. "Do you want me to tell you a story?"
She gets a mere head flick in response from Auggie as she grins softly and thinks. "Hmmm, okay, let's see what story do I have about my Auggie boy...when Calum was born you were so fascinated by him. You loved when Bowie was born, but you were still kinda little to understand that he was a baby and you got a bit jealous, but when Calum was born, oh you just loved him. And you always loved to watch me put on makeup, you never really wanted any put on yourself, except a little blush sometimes, but you used to sit on my bathroom counter and watch me put on makeup."
She watches as Auggie's blinks begin to slow just slightly, the sound of the gas blowing into his nostrils still ringing through the room like white noise.
"And you asked me why I put on makeup and I used to always tell you that I did it because it made me feel pretty and nice and apparently that fascinated that little mind of yours,"Camryn giggles already, thinking ahead in the story as images of little three year old Auggie run through her mind. Her was just the sweetest little boy, and she knows very well how blessed she was with him. "So a few days after dad and I brought Calum home from the hospital I laid him on the bed while he was sleeping because Bowie was having a meltdown and I came back into the room to find you kneeling on the bed next to him with my blush in your hand and you were putting blush onto his cheeks."
"R-Really,"Auggie murmurs sleepily with a little dazed grin, his eyes still barely open.
"Yeah, really, and I asked you what you were doing and you said 'I want him to feel pretty',"Camryn giggles in reflection, continuing to scrunch her fingers through Auggie's hair. "How cute is that? You were just the cutest little boy. You should close your eyes, baby."
"M-Mumma, I'm g-g-getting t-t-tired,"Auggie mutters, his lips beginning to get a bit thick with sleep, his words slurring slightly.
He hasn't called her 'mumma' in years and she finds it absolutely adorable. "That's okay, baby. Why don't you close your eyes if you're getting sleepy? I'm gonna stay right here with you, okay? I've got your hand."
"M-Mumma,"Auggie whimpers, his eyes closed now, his strength leaving him.
"I'm right here, baby,"Camryn assures him, leaning in to press another kiss to his warm forehead as his lips go a bit slack. "I've got your hand."
"H-H-Hand,"Auggie whispers, barely audible, but she knows him well enough to know what he's saying even though no one else in the room does.
"Yeah, I've got your hand, baby boy, you're just fine,"Camryn promises, squeezing Auggie's hand three times. I. love. you.
***
(An Hour Later)
"Mr. and Mrs. Styles?"a dental assistant asks as she peeks her head through the door, looking at Camryn and Harry who both pop their heads up to look at the dentist, their knees bouncing up and down anxiously with their hands interlocked. "They're both wisdom teeth free and woken up."
"How are they?"Harry asks with a little smile as him and Camryn stand up from the waiting room, hands interlocked as they follow the dental assistant down the hall to the room where Lennon and Auggie are both sitting.
"One of them is quite emotional,"the dental assistant giggles softly, holding her clipboard in her hands as she continues to guide Harry and Camryn down the snaking hallway. "Which is completely fine, some people are pretty emotional when they come out of anesthesia."
"I think I can guess which one it is,"Harry teases with a little grin, squeezing Camryn's hand as the nurse opens up the door for them, allowing them to walk inside.
Inside the room they find both of their teenage sons sitting on the dental chairs that are slightly reclined back. They both have gauze and tissues stuffed into their mouths with dried blood on their lips, their cheeks swollen into two big balloons. Lennon is lazily blinking and murmuring to himself, his hand pointing towards the white wall as if he's seeing something that no one else in the room can see. Auggie on the other hand is actively sobbing as a dental assistant kneels besides him and tries to calm him down since his sobs are making the gauze move too much which is making him bleed even more.
"Oh Augs,"Camryn can't help but chuckle slightly at the sight of her son, rushing towards his side as she replaces the dental assistant who was trying to calm him down. "Hi bubba, hi sweetie."
"M-M-M-Mum,"Auggie muffles out, hard to understand both from his sobs and the amount of gauze in his mouth.
"Hi buddy, hi, how're you feeling,"Camryn smiles, taking Auggie's hand as she reaches up to cup his cheek gently, not applying any pressure since she knows he's probably sore. "Why're you crying? You're okay, you don't need to cry."
"I w-w-w-wanna g-g-go h-h-home,"Auggie sobs, his hand clutching onto Camryn's forearm as she nods and leans in to press a little kiss to Auggie's forehead.
"Yeah, we'll get you home, you're okay,"Camryn promises with a little grin, squeezing Auggie's hand as she watches Harry walk over towards Lennon who's still muttering to himself.
"Hi mate, how're you doing?"Harry asks, leaning down over Lennon as his bleary attention turns towards Harry, his green eyes lighting up as soon as he recognizes who he is.
"Dad, hi dad, hi,"Lennon bubbles highly, his mouth a bit slurred with drool dripping down his chin. "Where's Nora? She's so sexy I wanna kisssss her dad. Where's Nora?"
"Alright, I knew I was gonna hear some of that,"Harry laughs, reaching his fingers up to ruffle through Lennon's brown curls. "All you can think about is Nora, huh?"
"Dad she has really good boobies, I love to squeeezeeeee them,"Lennon hums happily, bringing his hands up and making a motion in the air as if he's squeezing imaginary breasts.
"Alright, add that to the list of things I never needed to know,"Harry chuckles with his own face going red with embarrassment as he looks behind his shoulder at Camryn who's still trying to talk Auggie down from his sobs, her face mere centimeters away from him with her hand cupping his cheek still.
"Dad, dad, last night in the car Nora and I were—"
"Okay, yep nope, I'm gonna stop you right there, mate, I love you but I don't wanna know what was about to come out of your mouth,"Harry quickly cuts Lennon off, shaking his head with a nervous laugh as Lennon closes his mouth (as much as he can with the gauze filling it) looking at his dad with the most perplexed expression, wondering why he didn't want to hear the rest of his story about his and Nora's car sex last night. "I love Nora and I don't want this to change how I see her forever, yeah? Perfect, what about you talk about puppies, or something nice like that?"
"But...but her boobies,"Lennon mutters with a sad frown that Harry and Camryn can't help but burst out laughing at as the dental assistants try to keep their laughter down as well while beginning to help Harry and Camryn get Auggie and Lennon out of the chairs.
"She has really good boobies,"Lennon mumbles in explanation as Harry and a dental assistant attempt to help him off of the chair.
"Mate, swing your leg over, you got it, put your arm around my shoulder, I've got you,"Harry instructs, completely disregarding any topic of Nora's breasts that Lennon is trying to start as he hauls himself off of the dental chair with Harry and the dental assistant's help.
"I know, Auggie love, you're just fine,"Camryn promises as she helps haul up Auggie off of the dental chair, his chest still sputtering with feeble sobs. "I'm sorry you're so sad, baby. You're okay."
"When Nora cries I kiss her, dad,"Lennon informs Harry as he walks by and observes his little brother with tears rolling down his cheeks.
"When Nora merely breathes you kiss her, mate,"Harry quickly responds with a breathy chuckle as he continues to help Lennon out of the door, taking on most of his weight since Lennon is far too distracted by thinking of Nora's breasts to think about walking.
"Auggie, sweetie, just walk, you know how to walk,"Camryn instructs, trying to get Auggie to move his legs from where he's been in a standstill ever since he stood up from the chair, but his high mind has convinced himself that he has forgotten how to walk which is making him hyperventilate even more if possible.
"I c-c-can't! I d-d-don't r-r-remember h-h-h-how!"Auggie sobs, looking up at Camryn with the most desperate expression.
"Sweetie, step your right leg forward, just move it forward,"Camryn instructs, motioning her hand forward to try and get Auggie to follow her, and he does, stepping his leg forward against the floor as his other leg follows. "Good job, baby, just like that."
"O-O-Oh, I r-r-remember,"Auggie sweetly responds with the gauze still in his mouth as he looks over at Camryn with a light in his eyes that as he knows would be matched with a grin if he didn't have gauze in his mouth.
"Yeah, yeah you remember, good job, lovey,"Camryn smiles, helping Auggie follow after Lennon who is still being helped down the hall by Harry.
*
"Hey, no no, keep your buckle on,"Camryn parents Lennon, putting her hand over his as he reaches to unbuckle his seat belt. She's sat in between Auggie and Lennon in the backseat of the car, and she feels twenty-one years old again as she parents both of their squirmy bodies and minds. It's just like when they were little rambunctious kids, and it's making her quite nostalgic.
"Hey, keep your gauze in, keep it in, we'll change it when we get home,"Camryn cautions Auggie, reaching up to take his wrist away from his mouth where his fingers are prodding.
"Alright mates, you can't use straws yet, but do you want to get some milkshakes? Mum and I can spoon feed them to you,"Harry offers, looking in the rearview mirror towards his three loves in the backseat, Auggie's cheek resting on Camryn's shoulder with Lennon looking out the window and muttering to himself (most likely about Nora's breasts) with his hand interlocked in Camryn's and resting in his lap.
"Do you want a milkshake, lovey? Should we get you a milkshake,"Camryn coos, pressing a kiss to Auggie's head as he continues to sniffle. "I think we want milkshakes, baby."
"Milkshakes it is,"Harry agrees with a soft smile, switching on his blinker as he changes lanes on the motorway in the direction of a drive thru.
"Are we on a rollercoaster?"Lennon asks through his muffled mouth of gauze, looking over at Camryn with a bit of drool and blood dripping down from his lips and down his chin.
"No bud, we're just in the car,"Harry responds with a little chuckle, peeking through the rearview mirror at Lennon as he watches Camryn reach a tissue up to Lennon's mouth to wipe it clean of the drool and blood.
"No we're on a rollercoaster!"Lennon adamantly responds, raising his hands up in the air with a little giggle. "Woooo!"
"Alright, calm down babe, I don't want you to talk anymore cuz it's making you bleed a lot, okay? Why don't you rest your mouth,"Camryn suggests with a little grin, patting Lennon's thigh to get his attention.
"Mum,"Lennon mock whispers, looking towards Camryn with his lips in a permeant purse since he can't completely close his mouth with the gauze in it.
"Yes sweet boy,"Camryn asks, rubbing her palm against Lennon's thigh.
"Nora and I are going to have babies..."Lennon whispers, bringing his finger up to press against his lips to motion for Camryn to keep it a secret. "Nora and I are going to get married..."
"Let's reverse that order, lovey,"Camryn teases, squeezing Lennon's thigh as he grins at her droopily.
***
"Hi guys,"Nora greets, walking into the living room with her hand resting on her little bag that's thrown across her body and landing at her hip, her hair pulled back into two low pigtails with her bangs hitting the top of her black rimmed glasses.
"Hey sweetheart,"Camryn grins at Nora, snuggled into Harry's side as they lounge on the couch, Bindi on Camryn's other side snuggling into her while a movie plays on the television.
"How's he doing?"Nora asks resting one bare foot on top of the other, her teeth nervously biting down on her bottom lip.
"I've heard more about you today than I ever needed to know,"Harry jokes with a little snicker, winking at Nora who immediately reddens. She can only imagine what that means...and she can imagine it quite well since she knows Lennon which means that she knows what's always on his mind...
"Oh no,"Nora groans, pouting her lips as she raises her palm to her face, swiping it downwards. "I'm so sorry."
"Don't be sweetheart, go on up, he's in his room,"Camryn assures Nora with a little giggle, waving her off nonchalantly before motioning her hand towards the stairs, "he might be asleep though."
"Perfect, I'll be quiet in case he is,"Nora smiles, nodding her head as she begins her trek down the hall and up the stairs, Bindi's head raising from resting on Camryn's side as her eyes follow her the whole way up the stairs.
"She's so pretty,"Bindi whispers, her brown eyes wide as she hears Nora's feet patter up the stairs before looking back at Camryn and Harry who are both watching her with little sly smirks.
"She is a cute girl, isn't she,"Camryn agrees with a little giggle, bringing her hand up to cup the back of Bindi's head, dragging it towards her chest to get some more snuggles as she presses a kiss to the top of Bindi's head before glancing over at Harry who's chuckling breathily to himself.
Nora carefully opens Lennon's bedroom door, walking into the dark room, closing it softly behind her as she hears Lennon's head lift from the pillow.
"'lo?"Lennon murmurs sleepily with a bit of the laughing gas still clinging to his senses and making his brain still act a bit high.
"Hi sweet boy,"Nora whispers, walking closer to Lennon's bed as she hears the sheets ruffle slightly. "Did I wake you up?"
"Who is that?"Lennon sleepily asks, laying on his stomach with a bit of drool and blood dripping down his cheek and staining his pillow.
"It's Nora, sweetheart,"Nora giggles softly, taking off her bag and kneeling beside Lennon's bed, reaching her hand up to rest against Lennon's bare back, rubbing her fingers against his defined back muscles. "How're you feeling?"
"Nowa,"Lennon practically gasps, reaching his hand out to rest against her shoulder with a wonder in his eyes that makes Nora giggle.
"Yeah, it's me, hi sweet boy, look at you,"Nora whispers, leaning in to press a kiss to Lennon's forehead that's slightly warm, "you look so good! How do you feel?"
"Not good,"Lennon grumbles with a little pitiful whimper as he rests his cheek back down against the pillow, hissing as he does so since he pressed a bit too hard on it.
"Yeah? I'm sorry sweetheart,"Nora frowns in sympathy, trailing her fingers from Lennon's defined back all the way up his neck and into his brown curls. "Can I lay with you? Do you wanna take a nap?"
"Yeah,"Lennon eagerly nods, beginning to move over in the bed to allow Nora a bit of space as she climbs into the bed, pulling back the covers.
"Hi sweet boy,"Nora murmurs, laying on her back as Lennon lays on his stomach, one of his arms wrapping around her middle, his cheek resting down on the front of her chest as she presses a few kisses to the top of his brown curls. "I missed you. How does your mouth feel?"
"It hurts,"Lennon whines a bit dramatically and loudly, burying his face deeper into Nora's chest before wincing, the pain that zings across his mouth reminding him how sore he is, so he raises his head to look at her, a pained expression coating his features.
"Oh I know your mouth hurts, I know,"Nora coos as she tries to bite back a little giggle, taking Lennon's cheeks gently in her hands as she guides his head down towards her chest. "C'mere baby, you look sleepy." She softly lays Lennon's swollen cheek against her chest as he snuggles in deeper against her, one of his legs going on top of hers.
"I like snugglin' your boobs,"Lennon murmurs, burying his face deeper into Nora's breasts as she chokes on a little giggle, "they're soft..."
"I know you do, lovey,"Nora smiles, pressing a kiss to the top of Lennon's head as he continues to press little lazy and sloppy kisses to her chest, "you remind me of it even when you're not high."
Lennon lays against her chest quietly for a few seconds, his arm still slung around her stomach as she scratches her fingers against his scalp before she feels his arm slowly begin to unravel around her stomach, going lower until he finally lands it between her legs.
"Hey no no no, you need to get some sleep,"Nora squeaks with a surprised laugh, her head thrown back against the pillow as she bites down on her lower lip to keep herself from giggling too loudly. She loves him with all of her heart, and she didn't know it was possible for Lennon to be hornier than he normally is, but apparently intoxicated Lennon is even hornier than sober Lennon. "Absolutely not, mister."
"Please..."Lennon pouts dramatically, raising his head off of Nora's chest and looking at her with his begging green eyes that she can never say no to, but they look hilarious now paired with his swollen lips and cheeks, bloody gauze still in his mouth.
"No, and don't give me those eyes, it's not going to work,"Nora smirks, scrunching up her face as she nuzzles her nose against Lennon's, "I'm not having sex with you while you're high."
"But I want to,"Lennon complains with a whine, his eyes drooping further.
"After you get some sleep and sleep off the gas and air then we can do it, okay?"Nora bargains, raising an eyebrow at Lennon who frowns deeper at Nora's suggestion. "Deal?"
"Okay,"Lennon halfheartedly agrees with a sigh, beginning to bow his head so that he can rest against her again.
"Okay,"Nora grins, cupping both of his cheeks with the gentlest hands so that she won't hurt him as she softly guides his face to hers so that she can inspect him further, "lemme wipe your lips, okay? You've got some blood on them. Do you need to change your gauze?"
"My mum..."Lennon responds sleepily, his blinks beginning to get further and further apart as Nora reaches her arm over to pick up a wipe from the package on Lennon's nightstand right next to his abandoned chocolate milkshake.
"Your mum just did it? Okay,"Nora hums, using the wipe to begin to swipe at Lennon's chapped and bloody lips that are slightly swollen, but not nearly as much as his cheeks that look like he has two big apples stuck in both of them. "Oh my goodness you're so bloody, baby,"
"Kiss,"Lennon asks, smacking his lips together softly as he closes his eyes so hard that his eyelashes flutter.
"Kisses? You want kisses?"Nora laughs softly, keeping his chin cupped in her hand as she makes a face at his bloody and cracked lips. "Only because I love you so much."
She leans in and gives him a soft peck, exaggerating a "mwah" before she reaches her hand back to cup the back of his head. "Alright sweet boy, you need to get some rest, okay?"
"Okay,"Lennon agrees as he feels Nora's hand gently guide his head down to her chest. "Munches?"
"Yeah baby?"Nora responds softly, wrapping her arms around Lennon's upper shoulders as he wraps his arm tighter around her waist.
"Do we have a baby?"Lennon inquires innocently, a bit of drool falling onto Nora's chest, but she doesn't mind at all.
"We don't have a baby, mister,"Nora smirks, pressing a kiss to his curls that smell like her shampoo that he borrowed since he wanted to always have her smell near him, "at least not that I know of. Why?"
"I thought we did,"Lennon explains with his lips beginning to slur even further as he fights his mind that's trying to drift off to sleep.
"No, we don't,"Nora assures Lennon, combing her fingers through his brown curls.
"Are we married?"Lennon asks, sticking his tongue out between his swollen lips to make sure it's still there.
"No, do you have plans though, sweetheart?"Nora responds, massaging her fingers against Lennon's bare muscled biceps.
"I think so,"Lennon lazily responds, hearing Nora's heart pick up in speed under his head, but he can't quite put together why in his intoxicated state.
"Yeah?"Nora practically squeaks out, her eyes that were beginning to restfully close snapping wide open as she stares up at the ceiling. "Maybe you shouldn't tell me, I don't think sober you would want me to know."
Lennon ponders that responds for a few seconds before sighing again and snuggling his cheek in deeper against her skin. "Munches."
"Sweet boy,"Nora replies.
"I think I love you,"Lennon murmurs, coughing as he almost swallows a bit of gauze.
"I think you've told me once or twice,"Nora smirks, snuggling her cheek against Lennon's pillow case as she brings her hand up to cup the side of his face, "guess what?"
"I dunno,"Lennon responds sleepily.
Nora chokes on a little laugh and shakes her head, squeezing her arm tighter around his upper shoulders, "I think I love you too."
***
"Hi Augs,"Morgan greets quietly as she walks into Auggie's bedroom, his television on with him sat up in bed, his head covered by two ice packs that are strapped to each of his cheeks as he shovels ice cream into his mouth, all of the anesthesia worn off now after his nap.
"H-H-Hi,"Auggie greets, barely understandable between the swelling in his cheeks and the way he has to position his mouth so that talking doesn't hurt.
"How're you doing?"Bowie asks, walking in behind Morgan as they walk towards Auggie's bed, both climbing onto it and sitting near his feet.
"L-Like s-s-sh*t,"Auggie replies with a little snicker, digging his spoon into his ice cream again and bringing it to his mouth as he uses his lips to slurp the ice cream off, letting it melt in his mouth.
"You look great, mate,"Bowie snickers, folding one of his legs under himself as he smirks slyly at Auggie.
"D-Do I?"Auggie responds, unable to smirk, but his eyes give away that he is as they scrunch up under his black rimmed glasses.
"Yeah, you look like you got hit by a bus,"Bowie teases, watching as Auggie rolls his bright blue eyes, sticking his spoon back into his carton of ice cream.
"I f-f-feel like it t-t-too,"Auggie responds, resting his head back against the backboard of his bed. "H-How's L-Len?"
"Probably in his room f*cking Nora,"Bowie slyly responds, patting his palms against his legs in a drumming manner. "I dunno, the door's closed."
"They're not allowed to have the door closed,"Morgan chimes in with a little furrow in her black eyebrows, her legs crossed into a pretzel on top of Auggie's bed. She's practically a Styles child, so she's well aware of what the rules are in the house, and that's a major one. No significant others, or the child's preferred sexual gender, in the bedroom with the door closed.
Morgan is the only exception to that rule because...well she's Morgan. She's practically a sister to the kids, and Harry and Camryn are well aware that there's nothing going on with her and Bowie, but if their relationship were to ever turn romantic then the rule would apply to her as well.
"Dad let them since he thought Lennon was too high and exhausted to do anything,"Bowie clarifies, switching his gaze between Morgan and Auggie before raising his eyebrows with a little shrug. "I don't know if I trust him, though."
"Can I have some?"Morgan asks, leaning forward to reach towards Auggie's spoon that's dipped into the ice cream.
"Y-You w-w-want it?"Auggie chuckles, holding the spoon up that's covered in blood from his bleeding gums.
"Oh gross, never mind,"Morgan practically gags, crumpling her face up in disgust as Auggie chuckles, his swollen cheeks rumbling.
"Sh*t, d-d-don't m-m-make me l-laugh, it h-h-hurts,"Auggie whimpers, his lips pursing together as he carefully brings his fingers up to graze over his cheeks.
"Oh hey, is it a party in Aug's room?"Darcy grins, holding Penny on her hip who's resting her cheek on Darcy's shoulder with her pacifier in her mouth.
"H-H-Hey P-Pen,"Auggie greets, raising his hand to wave at his little niece who looks pretty perplexed as she realizes that she knows that voice. Oh. That's Auggie...but it doesn't look like Auggie.
"Who is that, babe?"Darcy laughs, watching as Penny's little facial expressions change as she mulls through trying to figure out who it is on the bed. "Is that Uncle Augs? Does he look a bit funny? Are his cheeks really big?"
"D-D-Do I h-have big c-c-cheeks, Pen?"Auggie grins, tapping his fingers against his cheeks as he watches Penny look curiously from Darcy to Auggie and then back again at Darcy. "It's j-j-just me, b-b-baby."
"Yeah, it's just Augs, should we sit with him for a bit?"Darcy suggests, sitting down on the bed as Bowie scoots closer to Morgan to offer her a bit of room.
"HI Nellie,"Bowie smiles, reaching his hand over to rest on Penny's little thigh as Darcy sets her down on top of her lap, wrapping her arms around Penny and resting her interlocked hands on Penny's tummy.
"She's too focused on Gussy,"Darcy giggles, resting her chin on top of Penny's little hazel head as Penny keeps her big blue eyes focused on Auggie's face, trying to figure out what's going on as she continues to suck on her pacifier.
"Where's Penny,"Bindi calls, running down the hallway in a little burst of energy since that's basically what Bindi is...a burst of energy.
"She's in here,"Darcy calls back with a quieter voice, hearing Bindi's footsteps stop as she turns and runs in the opposite direction down the hall towards Auggie's room, "and keep it down, baby, Lennon and Nora are sleeping."
"Yeah...'sleeping',"Bowie snickers, rolling his eyes as he shares a little smirk with Morgan who's giggling quietly to himself.
"Wad,"Darcy mutters, smacking the back of Bowie's head softly although she's had her suspicions about what's really going on in Lennon's room as well.
"PENNY!"Bindi shrieks, holding her hands up in the air happily, watching as Penny immediately flinches at the sound, her head snapping over to look at Bindi before her face goes bright red and scrunches up in an immediate frightened wail.
"Oh my goodness, did Beenie scare you,"Darcy coos with a little chuckle coating her voice as Penny tries to turn her body against Darcy's, wanting to be chest to chest with her mum and hide in her. "It's okay, it's okay, sweet girl. It's just Beenie, you know she's loud, it's okay."
She cups the back of Penny's head, dragging it towards her chest as Penny tries to hide her face in Darcy's neck, her little arms wrapping around her mum's shoulders as Darcy rocks her side to side, shushing her softly with her hand rubbing up and down Penny's back that's trembling with sobs.
"Hey, Bind, say sorry,"Calum frowns in sympathy as he trails into Auggie's room behind Bindi.
"Oh sorry Penny, sorry,"Bindi pouts, rushing towards Penny and Darcy and leaning her head down closer to Penny's, pressing a kiss to the back of her head. "Sorry, Pen."
"Say 'it's okay, Auntie Bean',"Darcy coos, pressing a kiss down to the top of Penny's head as she continues to rock her side to side. "She just wanted to say hi to you, sweetheart. You love Auntie Bean, huh? You guys are best friends."
"Hi, Pen,"Bindi smiles softly, keeping her hand on Penny's back as Penny pulls her head away from Darcy's neck, looking over at Bindi with a sniffle, tears continuing to roll down her red cheeks. "Sorry for scaring you, I just wanted to play."
"Do you wanna go to Auntie Bean?"Darcy coos, pressing another kiss to the back of Penny's head. "Do you wanna play with her?"
"C'mere,"Bindi persuades, holding her hands out towards Penny and scrunching her fingers towards her, taking her in her arms as she twirls Penny around which makes Penny grin around her pacifier. Her and Penny have pretty much the same age gap that Darcy and Bindi do, but instead of taking on a motherly role like Darcy did with Bindi, Bindi has instead taken on a fun big sister and playmate role.
"Hi buddy,"Darcy greets, holding her arms out for Calum who grins and allows Darcy to cup his face with her hands, guiding his face closer so that she can press a kiss to his forehead. "How're you doing? How was school?"
"It was good,"Calum shrugs nonchalantly with a big smile, his cheeks blazing a bit under Darcy's palm, "Ethan's coming over for dinner tomorrow."
"Ooo, that will be fun,"Darcy gushes, wiggling her eyebrows at Calum before winking. She has some suspicions about Ethan, she has ever since Calum's birthday party in January, but she's not going to press her little brother to say anything if he's not ready to, but she also wants him to know that he's supported if her suspicions are right. "Ethan's so nice, that will be so fun."
"W-Who w-w-wants to g-g-get me another ice p-pack?"Auggie asks, scanning his eyes over all of his siblings, waiting for one of them to volunteer, but they're all trying to pass it off to one of the other siblings.
"You guys suck,"Darcy sighs with a little chuckle and shake of the head as she stands up from Auggie's bed, realizing that she's going to be the one who has to get the ice pack. "Bind keep watching Penny, and someone else watch Bind watching Penny."
***
(Later that night)
"Penny Loo, I see you,"Darcy sings as she chases after Penny down the hall, Penny's pajamas slung over her shoulder as she watches her little girl toddle down the hall further and towards the living room, her arms braced out in front of her to keep her balance as little squeaks and squalls escape her lips. "Oh don't run to papa! He's gonna hide you from me!"
"Penny, c'mere,"Harry encourages with a little chuckle, sitting forward on the couch with his arms stretched out towards his little granddaughter who squeaks even louder with the biggest open mouth smile appearing on her face at the sight of him. "C'mere, sweet girl!"
"Move those legs, tushy,"Darcy giggles, watching as Penny continues to toddle from side to side as fast as she can, her little hands making grabby hands towards Harry.
"There you are! There's my big girl!"Harry groans dramatically as he picks Penny up, holding her up in the air for a second which makes her squeal even louder before bringing her down towards him and pressing a few kisses to her cheeks.
"Don't get her all riled up, I need her to go to sleep cuz I've gotta study,"Darcy sighs, slumping down on the couch next to Harry with a little smirk on her face as she watches her dad continue to smother her little girl's cheeks with kisses.
"Mama said to not rile you up but I don't think we're gonna listen to mumma, huh? Are we not gonna listen to her,"Harry teases in a cooing voice, his lips pressed against Penny's cheek as she continues to giggle, her little palms resting against Harry's prickly cheeks.
"Do you love grandpa so much?"Darcy smiles, leaning over to rest her temple against Harry's shoulder so she can continue to watch her two best friends interact. "Grandpa's your favorite, huh?"
"Mmm, I don't know if I beat Uncle Lennie, but I'm definitely a close second, huh Pen?"Harry grins, hugging Penny tightly to his chest as her cheek rests on his shoulder. "Oh am I getting cuddles? Oh you're so sweet."
"Are you giving grandpa cuddles, I'm sure he's loving the cuddles, baby,"Darcy drawls, leaning in to press a kiss to Penny's lips. "Do you want grandpa to get your dressed or mama?"
"Mamamama,"Penny babbles, holding out her hand for Darcy as Darcy smiles widely, taking Penny's hand in hers and pressing a kiss to her palm.
"Oh thank you for choosing me! C'mere, can I get you in your jammies? Then you can have milkies,"Darcy bubbles, holding her hands out for Penny as Penny unattaches herself from Harry and leans towards her mumma.
"Hi my love,"Darcy gushes, scooting over a bit on the couch as she hugs Penny tightly to her chest before laying her down on the couch cushion in between her and Harry.
"Is papa gonna keep you distracted while I change your diaper, missy?"Darcy coos, leaning over towards the coffee table to grab a diaper as she begins to pull down Penny's little ruffle bum shorts.
"Where's my Penny? Where is she?"Harry asks, leaning over Penny upside-down with his hands covering his eyes to play a little game of peekaboo which happens to be one of her favorite games. "Where's my girl? Oh! There she is!"
"Where did papa go, baby, where'd he go?"Darcy plays along, dancing her fingers across Penny's bloated belly as she continues to giggle up at Harry who has his hands over his eyes again. "Where is he?"
"Mama,"Penny babbles, reaching her tiny hand up towards Harry's face as he chuckles and pulls his hands away from his eyes.
"Mama? I'm not mama, silly girl! Do I look like mama?"Harry chuckles, leaning down over Penny, his face upside-down as he widens his eyes at her, pressing a little kiss to the tip of her nose. "I love you Penny Cam, you're the sweetest."
"You are the sweetest girl, huh babe?"Darcy agrees, pressing a kiss to Penny's bloated belly as she pulls up her pajama pants over her fresh diaper. "Can you let go of papa's face so mummy can put your shirt on?"
Darcy reaches for Penny's middle, helping her to sit up before she pulls her shirt off of her body, messing Penny's hair up even further than it already was after her game of tag with Bindi.
"Did you get stuck? Did your head get stuck?"Darcy giggles, looking at Penny's awed expression after her shirt finally came loose of her head. "You've got a Styles head, huh?"
She pulls the pajama shirt on over Penny's head as she whines, her little hands trying to blindly fight Darcy's away. "Don't fight me, silly girl! You gotta wear a shirt to go night night."
"C'mere, let me see you precious, do you want some milk?"Darcy asks, picking up Penny and settling her in her lap, cradling her in one arm as she pulls up her shirt and takes her boob out of her bra, offering it to Penny who immediately latches on and begins to suck. "There we are."
"She's got tired eyes,"Harry grins, scooting closer to Darcy on the couch and wrapping his arm around her shoulders as his little girl, who's really not little anymore, rests her head on his shoulder, both of their gazes focused on her own precious little girl who's tiredly blinking up at them.
"You do have tired eyes, huh? Going to the zoo with mumma wore you out, didn't it,"Darcy hums, rocking her body side to side gently as she pats Penny's little bum. "Did you tell grandpa all about what we saw at the zoo? Giraffes, sea otters, monkeys...oh and flamingos, you loved the flamingos, but they were kinda stinky, huh?"
"Did you love the flamingos? Your mumma always loved the flamingos too,"Harry grins, pressing a kiss to the top of Darcy's head as his fingers scratch against Penny's scalp.
"Hi love bug, hi,"Darcy grins pressing a kiss to Penny's palm as she lazily brings it up to rest against Darcy's mouth, her little eyes fluttering shut. "Mumma loves you."
"She looks so much like you did,"Harry grins, resting his cheek on top of Darcy's head as he lovingly looks down at his little granddaughter. His granddaughter. No matter how long Penny's been alive or how many times he calls her that, he never gets used to it. He has a granddaughter. His baby has a baby. "She's got your nose and chin."
"Yeah, you're my little twin, huh? And my best friend forever,"Darcy hums, her voice a bit muffled since Penny's palm is still pressed against her lips as she presses the softest kisses to her skin.
"I think you're her best friend as well, everything is 'mama',"Harry chuckles, rubbing his fingertips up and down Darcy's bicep as she giggles softly, continuing to pat her hand against Penny's bum.
"She's everything to me as well,"Darcy agrees, looking up at her dad with a teary smile as he grins, leaning in to press a kiss to her forehead.
