Nikki and Harry lay in bed together the next morning intent on making up for the morning before where they had both woken up alone. Nikki was laying next to Harry one arm draped across his stomach, the other on her own stomach resting on her bump. Harry had one arm around Nikki's shoulders, the other was holding the hand Nikki had slung over his stomach stroking it gently with his thumb.

"Are Sam and Leo coming round for the twins birthday?" Nikki asked and looked up at Harry who shrugged slightly.

"I'll have to ask them" he nodded and absentmindedly reached up to run a strand of Nikki's hair through his fingers. "It's on a Saturday right?"

Nikki made a noise of confirmation and nodded then grinned.

"You do remember the date?"

"Oh ha ha" Harry laughed sarcastically "I think I know my own sons' birthday as the second of September"

"Just checking" Nikki giggled as Harry leant down and kissed her, his hand moving to her stomach just as the baby kicked. Harry drew back from Nikki and looked down at her bump.

"Feisty little one we have haven't we?" he laughed and Nikki nodded as he leant down to kiss her stomach, she smiled and reached down to run one hand through his hair.

"Even more feisty than the boys were"

"Which makes me think that we are having a girl" Harry told her as he moved back up the bed and lay on his side, resting his head on his hand as he looked down at his wife. "She's feisty like her mother"

"Where as the boys were calm-ish like their father?" Nikki asked unconvinced as Harry nodded "No I really think we are having another boy"

"How many children do you want?" Harry asked suddenly "I mean..do you want more children?"

Nikki shrugged and shifted slightly as the baby moved.

"You know I want a big family" she started and Harry nodded "We didn't exactly plan the boys and this baby did we? So how about we see what happens"

Harry nodded again and sighed.

"I just don't want you over exerting yourself" he said quietly and Nikki placed her hand on his cheek "This pregnancy has been hard on you"

"Harry any pregnancy could be hard on me" Nikki sighed "Look at these women who have lots of children and they are fine"

"I don't want to push you into something you don't want to do"

"Harry lets just leave it okay" Nikki said loudly, indicating to Harry she was having the last word "If it happens after this baby it happens okay?"

Harry nodded slowly and leant down to kiss her lazily causing her to groan and reached down to tug at the bottom of his bed shirt.

"So apart from the presents we already have Edward and Graham where do we purchase this Great White they want?" Harry joked later on as he and Nikki stood in the kitchen, Harry stirring his coffee absentmindedly as he watched Nikki potter around the kitchen. It was still early and the boy's body clock had yet to wake them up. Turning away from the fridge where she was pulling out a yoghurt she shot Harry a withering look which just made him chuckle.

"You should have been here when they asked" Nikki told him as she walked over to the cutlery draw to pull out a spoon "They said it so innocently it was scary"

Harry walked over and placing his mug on the surface behind her, he then rested his hands on her hips and drew Nikki closer to him so he could lean down and give her a kiss. Moaning slightly Nikki wrapped her arms around his neck in an attempt to bring him closer to her and he ran his hands up the back of her baggy nightshirt.

"Love you" he mumbled against her lips as he continued to kiss her and Nikki ran one hand through his hair as she replied.

"I love you too"

"I think I'll call in sick" Harry joked as he pulled away from Nikki for air then kept kissing her lazily as they stood in each other's arms. Nikki wrapped her arms around his waist and lay her head on his chest, Harry wrapped his arms around her back and rubbed it gently. "Spend the day with you and the boys"

Nikki chuckled and shook her head.

"You wouldn't dare" she giggled and looked up at him "Where's that Kinder Bueno you brought last night?"

"Oh yes" Harry nodded and unwrapped his arms from around her "They're in the carrier bag on the table in the living room, I brought you a few in case you got more cravings for them"

Nikki studied him for a second then smiled and leant up to kiss him.

"What did I do to deserve you?" she asked then turned and walked into the living room, after a few seconds he heard the bag rustling and Nikki pulled out the chocolate she wanted last night.

Nikki was halfway through the second bar of the chocolate when Harry walked into the living room with a smirk on his face. Nikki stopped chewing and swallowed almost nervously.

"Why do I suspect you have just done something I wouldn't approve of?"

"Because I have" Harry laughed and held up the phone "Just rung Leo to say I cant go in because I'm feeling a bit under the weather and don't want to contaminate anything"

Nikki sighed and shook her head exasperatedly, not even bothering to argue.

"What am I going to do with you?" she sighed

"Come over here and kiss me?" Harry asked, an innocent look on his face as he opened his arms and beckoned to himself. Nikki happily obliged.

Yeah I can imagine Harry skiving off work just to spend time with Nikki and the children...bad I know but that's just Harry. lol! :D
