"Leo could I talk to you for a minute?" Harry asked as he walked up to Leo's office door. He spotted Sam sitting in a chair opposite the desk. "Sorry was I interrupting something?"

"No it's fine" Sam smiled as she stood up "I'll see you later for lunch" she directed this at Leo who gave her a smile and a nod before she turned and walked out of the room, giving Harry a smile as she passed.

"What can I do for you?" Leo asked as Harry walked over and sat in the chair that Sam had vacated.

"I know it's short notice but could I have this weekend off please?" Harry enquired and his eyes glanced over the picture that Leo had on his desk, it was of the six of them at Leo and Sam's wedding three months ago. "It's just that Nikki's getting exhausted what with being seven months pregnant and having to cope with the twins as well, the baby has been moving quite a lot recently and Nikki hasn't been getting much sleep"

"That's fine Harry" Leo smiled and wrote it down on a piece of paper on his desk.

"Are you actually going to clear that desk one day Leo?" Harry joked as he looked at all the paper and folders littering the desk.

"Someday maybe" Leo nodded slightly "and don't you start Sam's been on at me about it as well"

"She's been on about it for the past few months" Harry told Leo with a raised eyebrow and whatever the older man was going to say was cut off by the phone ringing. Harry shook his head humorously and stood up as Leo apologised and picked up the phone.

-----------------

"Leo's let me have the weekend off" Harry told Nikki as he walked into the living room to see Nikki laying on the sofa with a gigging Edward on her chest, a grin on her face. Harry smiled and walked over to them, he kissed them both then turned to Graham who was crawling across the floor to him, when the young boy reached him he grasped on to his father's trousers and hauled himself up off of the floor. Edward turned slightly when the baby kicked against his back and placed his hand on Nikki's stomach and patted it slightly.

"Ba..ba" he stuttered slightly and both Harry and Nikki gasped. Harry crouched down next to the sofa and pulled Graham onto his lap and turned to his other son with an awestruck look on his face. Nikki sniffed slightly and failed to stop the tears as they fell down her face.

"Who's a cleaver boy?" she whispered tearfully as she sat up and clutched Edward close, her hormones making her tears worse. Harry laughed slightly and was doing a better job at holding his tears in than Nikki was. He reached up and ruffled Edwards hair and Graham reached up and held on to the edge of the sofa and reached up to also touch Nikki's stomach.

"Hug" he said as clear as day as he held his arms up to Nikki and that was too much for her. Nikki burst into tears and a grinning Harry sat on the edge of the sofa with Graham on his lap, he reached over and wiped the tears from his wife's face.

"Hey" he whispered and leant down to kiss her "It's alright"

"I know" she nodded and a tearful smile spread over her face "It's just..just our little boys are growing up"

Harry didn't know what to say to this and he just reached down and placed his hand on her stomach and nodded.

--------------

"Hello you two" Nikki greeted on the Sunday after as she opened the door to Sam and Leo who Harry had invited round for a drink and some catching up.

"How are you?" Sam asked as she hugged the younger woman the best she could.

"Better now I've had this weekend to rest while Harry has done all the work" Nikki laughed as Leo hugged her "Thank you for that"

"It's alright" he whispered and gave Nikki a quick kiss on the cheek.

They walked into the living room to where Edward and Graham were sitting in their highchairs, baby food all around their mouths. Nikki rolled her eyes and walked over to her boys and wiped their faces clean.

"Mama" Edward laughed as he held his arms up to her and Nikki heard two gasps from behind her as she picked her son up.

"When did they start talking?" Leo asked as he walked over and ruffled Grahams hair.

"Last Thursday" Nikki replied and Sam grinned as Edward gripped hold of his mothers shirt and smiled at his aunt "We wanted to let you hear them yourself before we told you"

"They're clever boys" Sam said as Harry walked into the room "Taking after their parents"

"Da" Graham called from his highchair and Harry picked him up and kissed him.

"There will be no stopping them now" Leo laughed as they walked into the living room and sat down "They wont keep quiet from now on"

"What were their first words?" Sam asked as Leo sat next to her and wrapped one arm around her shoulder. Nikki winced slightly as the baby kicked her in the ribs and she shifted Edward so he was in a more comfortable position on her lap.

"Ba ba" the baby said clearly and placed his hand on her stomach. Nikki nodded and smiled.

"That was Edwards first word" she told them "He was sitting on my lap and the baby kicked and he just said it. Grahams was 'hug', which of course he got a lot of afterwards" Nikki laughed and Sam and Leo chuckled.

"I expected mummy and daddy" Harry told them and shrugged "But they are Nikki's children so they're not really going to conform are they?"

Nikki glared at him playfully and Sam smirked while Leo rolled his eyes.

Aww, first words. ;) I didn't think that Harry and Nikki's children would have 'mummy' and 'daddy' as their first words, that's too normal. lol!
