When Nikki woke the next morning she was conscious of Harry hugging her close to his body, his face buried in her hair, and his hand on her stomach. She sighed quietly and attempted to go back to sleep, but to no avail. So she lay there in the quiet room, content in laying in Harry's arms, loving the feeling of his hand on her stomach. Nikki couldn't wait for the day when she announced to Harry that he was going to be a daddy, she couldn't wait to see the look on his face and in his eyes. A smile crept over her face at the thought and she had to stifle a giggle in her pillow, as not to wake her sleeping husband. She hoped that she would be able to tell him sometime soon. Despite herself, she rested her hand on her stomach, wondering if there was a baby growing in her already. Nikki knew that there was only a small chance that she was pregnant, even with all the love making that she and Harry had been doing, but there was still a chance. The thought that she might be pregnant sent a shock of excitement through her, and a grin formed on her face as she entwined her hand with Harry's on her stomach. There was still a small chance after all.

"I can hear you thinking" Harry murmured against her head, making Nikki jump slightly. She hadn't known he was awake. "What are you thinking about?"

"Wondering if I'm pregnant" Nikki whispered, moving back into Harry's body as his arm tightened around her stomach, his thumb stroking her skin gently.

"You told me not to get my hopes up" Harry told her sleepily, and Nikki knew that he still had his eyes closed.

"I was just wondering" his wife shrugged "There's a small chance that I could be I suppose and.." she trailed off and shrugged once more, letting out a small sigh "I know I shouldn't get my hopes up"

"It's only natural" Harry sighed into her shoulder, pressing a kiss onto her skin and opening his eyes. Nikki turned slightly so she was looking at him, giving him a small smile "and if you're not, then we can keep trying"

Nikki just nodded and leant up to kiss Harry on the lips, before snuggling back down in the bed and into Harry.

"It's weird when you think about it"

"What is?" Harry enquired with a sleepy frown on his face, reaching up and running one hand over Nikki's hair.

"A little life growing inside me" she smiled, making Harry's heart jump in his chest. Her smile was infectious and he found himself grinning as well. "Something that is just ours, no-one else's"

"A little human that we created"

"Hmm" Nikki nodded, her fingers stroking her stomach absentmindedly as they spoke. "It scares me"

"It scares me as well" Harry replied, nuzzling her neck gently and placing a soft kiss onto her skin "But we'll be fine. I love you so much"

"I love you"

Harry let out a slow breath and pulled Nikki closer to him, his hand rubbing her stomach gently. Her steady breathing informed him that she had fallen asleep, and he closed his eyes, hoping to join her.

Nikki woke once more to the welcoming smell of coffee, she sniffed slightly and opened her eyes. She blinked the sleep out of them and looked around the room, spotting a mug of coffee on the table next to Harry's side of the bed. Sitting up a bit more, Nikki scooted over to the other side of the bed and reached for the mug, taking a large gulp of the still hot coffee.

"Stealing my coffee as well as my desk?"

Nikki jumped when she heard Harry's voice in the doorway and looked sheepishly up at her husband who was smirking at her.

"What's yours is mine" Nikki told him with a grin, putting the mug back on the table and sitting up a bit more, letting the duvet fall from her naked chest and pool around her waist. Harry's eyes flicked from her own eyes to her chest and then back again.

"Yes?" Nikki asked innocently, flicking her hair over her shoulder and giggling at Harry's expression.

"You're a tease" Harry stated and Nikki's grin grew.

"Only for you"

"I bloody well hope so" her husband replied quickly, his eyes running down her chest once more "You're exquisite"

"Exquisite?" Nikki questioned "I haven't heard that word in years"

"Does that tell us something about the word, or you?" Harry countered instantly, causing both of them to burst out laughing.

"Exquisite?" Nikki asked again, laying on her side and propping herself up with her arm, Harry still leaning against the doorway.

"Yes, exquisite" Harry nodded, making his way slowly over to his wife, leaning over her and pressing a kiss to her forehead, and then to her lips. "Come on beautiful, get up and showered. It's our last full day and I want to go for a walk with you"

"We can get exercise here" Nikki murmured, running her hands through Harry's hair.

"It's definitely not the exercise that you need" Harry responded to his wife, tapping her on the nose "It's the views"

"I have a nice view here"

"Nikki"

"Fine" Nikki sighed loudly, sitting up again, pushing Harry away and swinging her legs over the side of the bed. Harry looked down at her completely naked body, licking his lips, he felt his hand twitch. He wanted to touch her, wanted to hear her moan his name, see her writhing under him. However, he knew that there was no time for that at that moment. There was always time later though.

"So how do we break the news to mum and Leo?"

"Well we can't just blurt it out" Nikki responded absentmindedly as they walked hand in hand along the semi-deserted beach.

"And why not?"

"Because we just can't" Nikki told him exasperatedly "God you're such a man". Harry opened his mouth to respond to that, but Nikki cut across him "We have to sit them both down and break it to them gently"

"Or" Harry said slowly, a grin forming on his face "We can wait until they see our rings and then confess"

"Yes but you're seeing your mum in two weeks" Nikki shook her head "That's not fair on her if we keep something as big as her only child getting married"

"Are you going to tell your dad?"

"No" Nikki replied shortly before changing the subject "We should sit Leo down on our first day back and explain everything to him and then try and see your mum on the same day or the day after"

"I knew there was a reason I married you" Harry chuckled, leaning down and pressing his lips to Nikki's, before wrapping one arm around her back as they continued to walk. "You're good at organising"

"I think I should come and organise your desk for you then" Nikki grinned at him, poking her tongue out slightly "It's a mess"

"Because you use it all the time and I never get a look in"

"You're not going to begrudge me my one guilty pleasure at work are you?" Nikki pouted "Stealing your desk"

"Well we'll have to think about other guilty pleasures, won't we?" Harry smirked, licking his lips slightly as Nikki moved away from him and began to walk backwards down the beach in the direction they were headed. She smiled at him, her eyes full of laughter and a loud giggle escaping her lips as she turned and ran along the beach, Harry following quickly behind her. Nikki was suddenly conscious of the water beneath her feet, soaking her feet through her sandals. She turned and stopped running, allowing Harry to catch up with her. As soon as he did reach her, his arms were around her waist, his mouth on hers, both of them stumbling slightly. Nikki reached up and wrapped her arms around Harry's neck as he deepened the kiss. They kissed lazily for a few minutes, before the need for oxygen became too much and Nikki broke away, licking her lips slightly and smiling at her husband.

"Come on" she told Harry, taking his hand and starting to lead them down the beach, both of them happy to continue with their walk.
