It had been a great, but long couple of months. Harry and Christine decided that it was time for a break. They packed their bags and headed up north to New Hampshire. They were curious to see what Abby would be like on a trip. But they figured that it would best to test it out before she started crawling or walking; they could tell that that time was near. Most of the time when she was being held she'd be jumping and wiggling around.
Abby slept for most of the car ride but as they got close to the hotel she started to fuss. She settled down once they were settled in their room.
Christine took Abby out of her seat and sat down on the bed with her. "Oh this is such a lovely room!" she glanced that the window, "and such a lovely view of the mountains!"
Harry smiled, "We were lucky to get it weren't we?"
"We sure were!"
Harry started walking near the bed and Abigail smiled and reached her arms out.
Christine laughed, "I think someone wants you to hold her."
Harry walked over to them, "I'd pick you up but I'd be afraid to drop the little one."
Christine giggled, "Oh Harry," she handed Abby to him.
Abigail was smiling and grabbing Harry's face. Her new favorite thing was his nose. This would be even more adorable if her nails weren't so sharp. They sat on the bed for awhile as Abby went back and forth between the two. She never could make up her mind. Dinner came and they ate at the restaurant at the hotel. Abby caused quite a scene when she pulled on the waiters tie (startling him) and causing him to drop the glass. The rest of the evening went wonderfully.
Harry was out on the balcony trying to get Abby to sleep. She seemed to be nervous in a new environment. It was also a very nice night and she could use the fresh air. He had finally got her to start closing her eyes as Christine came out.
"There you two are."
He slowly turned to her and whispered, "She's just falling asleep."
"Oh!" she whispered back know that was her cue to be quiet.
"It's a lovely night isn't it?"
"It is. And it's even greater with the mountains. Just smell the air! Pure and fresh."
"Not something we'd usually get in the city."
"Definitely not."
They were silent for awhile as they just enjoyed the view. Abby finally fell asleep.
"I'm going to go but her in bed."
"Alright." She gently gave both of them a kiss. "I'll be in, in a minute." She took one last deep breath of air thinking of all the events that had happened within the past couple years. Just five years ago she was basically just starting out in Harry's court, their friendship grew, and their relationship grew. All of the events that had happed had led them to this, a lovely vacation with their daughter. She never would have guessed it to happen. She knew one thing was for sure—
She was sure glad it did.
