"Come on Emmy say 'daddy'" Harry encouraged his and Nikki's eleven and a half month daughter who sat on his lap giggling slightly as her father bounced her up and down. Nikki looked over from where she was sitting at the table on her laptop and smiled at the father, daughter interaction.
"Harry she's not even a year old yet" Nikki told her husband as she leant her chin on her hand and gave him a smile as he looked up at her and grinned.
"Ah well our little girl is very intelligent" he replied and looked back at the blonde haired little girl on his lap "Aren't you princess?" he asked her and leant forward to press a kiss onto her nose causing her to giggle. She reached out to rest her hands on his face and babble something in baby speak before laughing and clapping her hands causing Harry's heart to fill with a sudden surge of pride.
Nikki closed the lid of her laptop and looked up when Darius wandered unsteadily into the room and looked around.
"Mama hug pwease" he said as he saw her and lifted his arms to her with a grin on his face.
"Come here handsome" Nikki laughed and lifted her son off the floor and onto her lap where she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer to her, pressing a kiss onto his brown hair as she did so "Daddy's trying to teach your sister to speak"
"Daddy" Darius laughed "Emmy only baby, baby can't speak"
"My own son is against me" Harry cried out dramatically and Nikki laughed loudly at the look on his face as she stood up from the chair and put Darius on her hip before walking over and sitting them both down on the sofa next to Harry and Emery, placing Darius on her lap as she did so. Emery turned her head slightly when she saw her mother and brother and gave them both a toothy grin which had Nikki fall in love with her daughter all over again as she leant over and pressed a kiss onto her chubby cheek.
"Leo and Sam are coming over for her birthday" Nikki informed Harry suddenly and motioned to the computer with her head "I was just talking to Leo"
"Leo" came a voice as clear as day from Harry's lap and both parents turned to the little girl who had a grin on her face "Leo" she repeated and Nikki couldn't help but laugh as she leant over and gave her daughter a kiss and a cuddle before putting her back on a stunned Harry's lap.
"Well done Emmy" she laughed and glanced at Harry who had a look of shock on his face "Sorry Harry" she said as a grin spread over her face.
"She..Leo..my daughter.." was all Harry got out, he had been trying to teach Emery to say 'Daddy' for a few weeks and this is how it had paid off. He looked back at Emery who had cocked her head to one side and was looking at him with big brown eyes "He's never going to let me live this down" he laughed as he hugged the blonde haired child closer to him and pressed a kiss onto her cheek "Very good baby girl, but can we work on 'daddy' now?"
Poor Harry and all his hard work. :P
