Little introduction first off. This is going to be one of those ongoing fics that are made up of oneshots that don't run in any particular order or a particular amount of chapters, I will post them when I've written them and I will write them when my muse permits it. They will be centered on the characters in "Reversal" and will be all sorts of genres and ratings, so don't be worried if the rating suddenly goes up, which it will, I'll warn you which chapters are high rated.
Enjoy.

"Hey little man" Harry cooed as he reached into Nathanial's cot and pulled the two month old baby into his arms, trying to stop the baby crying loudly and waking Nikki who was still in bed asleep. He turned the baby monitor off as he walked past and then checked the baby's nappy. "Shall we clean you, hmm?"
Harry gently laid the crying baby on the changing table and went around changing his nappy. He had no idea why other men seemed to hate changing nappies, he loved the fact that he was part of the child's life and that this was his son, dirty nappies or not.
After the baby was clean and a fresh nappy on, Harry gently picked him up and cradled Nathanial to his shoulder, kissing him gently and walking over to the window. He opened the curtains and looked out over the garden, imagining Nathanial and the twins that Nikki was carrying running around out there in a few years. A smile made its way onto his face and he looked at the baby who was sucking on his fist and staring at his father, the baby suddenly grinned at him and Harry fell in love with him all over again. To him and Nikki it didn't matter than the baby wasn't their own biological son, they couldn't have loved him any more if he was.
"You're going to be a big brother in a few months" Harry told Nathanial who gripped his t-shirt and cooed slightly in his father's arms. "but mummy and daddy will still love you so much"
Harry shifted Nathanial so he was cradled in his arms and he sat himself down on the rocking chair in the corner of the room, tickling the baby's tummy gently and making him grin and coo again.
"You were a big surprise" Harry explained to the two month old like he could understand "Mummy and daddy only had a month to prepare for you and we were a bit scared, but do you know what?" Harry tapped the baby gently on the nose and grinned at him "You're not scary at all" he cooed, leaning down and kissing the baby on the forehead. "and your mummy is the best mummy in the whole world, I hope you know that" he continued "she's brilliant and intelligent and beautiful and absolutely amazing and daddy loves her very very much" Harry nodded, moving the baby so he was sitting on Harry's lap, his head supported by one of his father's hands. "Especially since she's carrying your little siblings in her tummy even though we have you to look after as well. Daddy is going to take proper care of mummy in the next few months, she deserves it for being amazing like she is".
Harry paused slightly and tickled Nathanial's tummy, a frown on his face.
"Daddy's also pretty scared because I don't know what to expect, especially when mummy is having the babies. But I'm going to be with her every step of the way, even if I do cry when they're born"
There was a giggle from the doorway and Harry whipped his head around, smiling slightly as he saw his fiancé standing watching him and their son. His eyes trailed down her body to her obvious bump that was showing through her pyjama t-shirt, the material stretched over her stomach, his smile turning into a grin. Nikki looked down as well and cupped her stomach in her hands, stroking it gently, a proud smile on her face.
"How long have you been there?"
"Since 'you were a big surprise'" Nikki replied and Harry shook his head, turning back to the baby in his hands.
"Mummy's sneaking around" he chuckled and Nikki laughed loudly from her position in the doorway.
"Harry I'm four months pregnant with twins, I'm not sneaking anywhere" Nikki giggled as she pushed off the doorframe and walked over to her fiancé, leaning down and kissing him gently. Harry then shifted his arms so Nikki could climb onto his lap and she did so, resting her head on Harry's shoulder as he moved Nathanial so he was cradled in his arms. "Hello baby boy" Nikki cooed to the baby and she grinned as she tickled his stomach. Nathanial let out a loud squeal and grinned toothlessly at his mother. "Hmm, you're so gorgeous aren't you?"
"Thank you" Harry replied and did a double take as Nikki shook her head at him, a smirk playing on her face. "Yes?"
"Nothing" Nikki chuckled, leaning up to kiss him "I love you"
"I love you" Harry nodded, nuzzling her neck gently as he kissed her warm skin. He then moved away and moved Nathanial so he was closer to them, leaning down and kissing his nose gently. "and I love you very much as well"
Nikki smiled as she ran one hand through Harry's messy hair, knowing that their decision to adopt Nathanial had definitely been the correct one.
Posted this one to make myself feel better before my English exam this afternoon which I know nothing for. I'll probably post some more afterwards as well to make me feel better then as well :)
