O L I V I A
Today, me and Harry were going to be looking at wedding venues. We had different places we had listed down which we were going to take a tour of and I was excited but also nervous. I want to find the perfect place to get married that is perfect for both me and Harry.
Marie was going to be looking after Bella and Hope; it was the first time I would be spending the day away from Hope. "Ready to go beautiful?" Harry asks, carrying Hope in his arms. The two month old baby smiling in his embrace.
"Yeah, let me just find my purse." I say and reach for my purse on top of my dresser.
"Momma, can I take my barbie to grammy's?" Bella asks with a cute little pout on her face.
"Of course you can baby." I kiss the top of her head and her pout is replaced by a big grin.
"C'mon babe." Harry leads us out of our apartment and we go to the parking lot. Hope starts crying when I put her in her car seat so I sit next to her on the journey to Marie's house.
When we get there, Harry takes Hope out and brings her baby bag whilst I help Bella. "How are my grand babies?" Marie opens her arms and Bella runs into them.
"Grammy, I brought my barbie!" Bella shows Marie her barbie and starts telling her about how she wants to make an outfit for her.
We set Hope down in her play pen that she plays in when we go to Marie's house. "All of her things are in the bag, if she starts crying just rock her or feed her and she'll be fine after a while. I made a list of everything that you ca-"
"Liv," Marie interrupts me "I'm not that old. I know what I'm doing after raising you and Bella."
Harry chuckles and I sigh, "I know, I just love my babies." I poke Hope's button nose and she giggles.
"It's okay, this is an important day for you two." She says and I nod.
"Okay, we'll be back by five or later. Bella, Hope be good for Grammy okay?" I instruct them. Bella nods but Hope just looks at me with innocent eyes.
"Bye momma, bye daddy." Bella hugs us both and I thank Marie for looking after them.
Me and Harry get back into the car, "I'm going to miss my babies." I sigh.
"Livvy, baby, it's only a couple hours." Harry chuckles.
"I know but I hate being away from them." I tell him.
"The honeymoon will be fun then." Harry rests his hand on my thigh and I put mine on top.
"Hopefully they'll be able to come with us." I smirk and he looks at me with raised eyebrows. "I'm kidding babe."
"Good as much as I love our kids, I still want my alone time with you." He kisses my cheek and I smile.
I like it when he says that.
Our kids.

We pulled in front of a huge mansion and the windows were massive so you could see inside. The rooms looked very elegant and posh. Basically the whole thing was the complete opposite of what I wanted.
Harry helped me get out of the car and I could tell he wasn't a fan of the place either. "Harry," I whispered. "I don't like it."
"Me neither but we might as well look around in case it's any different." He says and I scrunch up my nose to which he laughs and kisses the top of my head.
"Hello my names Betty and I'm going to be showing you around the Rangers Mansion today." She shows off her pearly white teeth that almost blind me. "If you'd like to follow me."
The house was too big. She showed us every room even the non important ones. She showed us the garden and where the wedding would be held.
It was nice but it was far too elegant for my liking. The reception was also very big and I don't think we'll be inviting that many people to fill the entire room.
"I think we'll have a talk about it and then get back to you." Harry says, saving me from blurting out about how much I hate it.
We get into the car and I sigh, "Did you like it?" Harry asks.
"What do you think?" I say referring to the amount of times I sighed and mumbled things quietly.
Harry chuckles, "Lets take a look at the next one baby."
"Wait, did you like it?" I ask him.
"I liked it but I didn't love it and I want the place we get married to be the perfect place for both of us." He kisses my hand and we go the next venue.
The second one was bigger than the last one. I saw no point in looking around but I didn't want to be selfish.
So once again, we were shown every room in the building and every room was bigger than the last. The reception had more chairs and tables than the home-where store and the ceiling were made of glass.
When the tour was over, Harry, once again, told them we would get back to us. We were given pamphlets and discount cards. "Nope!" I say when Harry asked me if I liked it.
"I wasn't much of a fan either." He shakes his head.
"Really? I feel like you're just saying that because I don't like it." I tell him.
"No baby, I want a small wedding and I doubt we have that many friends to fill that many seats." He says.
We spend the next few hours looking at even more venues and we just can't find the perfect one. That is until we come to the last venue by the beach.
We go to a small cabin where a man called Jake greets us. He leads us down to where the wedding will be held and I immediately fall in love with it.
There's chairs all set out but now too many of them, flower petals are sprinkled across the floor and a small fort was at the end.
For the reception area there was a big gazebo set up with a mini bar on the side. There was a dance floor set up and just the right amount by of seats for the guests we had.
I smiled and looked up at Harry who also had a big smile on his face. This place was perfect.
"We love it!" Harry tells Jake and Jake smiles at both of us.
We go to fill out some paperwork and when we asked which date we want Harry tells them, "16th August next year."
It was the day we met and he remembered it.
My hand on his forearm tightens and I rest my head on his upper arm. He kisses the top of my head and signs the paperwork.
The date is around ten months away so we have plenty of time to plan everything else. Hope will also be a year old by then so she will be old enough to crawl down the isle and will hopefully be over her colic by then.
"I'm so excited! This just makes everything seem more real." I tell Harry.
"I know baby, I can't wait to call you Mrs Styles in front of everyone." He kisses my lips.
"I can't wait for that either." He smiles and kisses my lips again.
We head back to pick up Hope and Bella and both of them are half asleep which saves us the hassle of putting them to bed.
I carry Hope and put her into her cot and Harry tucks Bella into bed.
I make us both dinner and later on we're both in bed together wrapped in each other's arms. Harry kisses my forehead and I stroke his jawline with the pad of my thumb. "I love you baby." He says tiredly.
"I love you more handsome." I say before my eyes close and I fall to sleep.
***
I wake up when I hear a cry and Harry groans. "Hope?" He questions.
"Yeah. Go back to sleep handsome I'll go get her." I kiss his cheek and he hums.
I get out of bed and put my dressing gown on before going to Hope's bedroom but I stop when I hear a small voice.
"Go to sleep Hopey, momma and daddy need sleep too." Bella says and I see her stroking Hopes cheek to pry her to sleep. "I can sing the monsters away if you'd like. Momma always sings my monsters away." Bella yawns and I watch the two girls in awe.
Hope gargles and Bella laughs, "I don't know what that means Hopey." I walk into the bedroom and Bella turns to me.
"What are you doing awake baby?" I ask her.
"I was trying to help Hope sleep so you and daddy could sleep too." She explains and I brush the curls from her forehead.
"You're such a good girl Bella." I kiss her forehead. Hope starts whimpering and I carry her out of her cot. "How about you both come and sleep in mommy and daddy's bed?"
Bella nods tiredly and we go to mine and Harry's room. We all slide under the covers and Harry groans, he wraps his arm around my waist and kisses the back of my neck. I hold Hope in my arms and Bella falls asleep next to her, holding my hand.

Whoop! I updated. This was a long one and I hope you like it.
I just want to mention the fact that the start of this story will be quite slow paced until the actual plot happens because it's going to be super dramatic.
