Harry sighed as the alarm clock blared around the room, reaching over quickly he turned it off and turned back to Nikki who was still asleep. Leaning down he pressed a kiss onto her exposed cheek before climbing out of bed and walking across the hallway to Darius' room. Pushing the door open he walked into the room and saw that his youngest child was just waking up. Darius smiled at his father and reached up to him. Harry pulled the eleven month old into his arms and placed a kiss onto his cheek.

"Morning son" Harry said to the young boy "Did you sleep well"

Darius made some babbling noises and clapped his hands, a grin on his face before he looked down and pointed at his bed.

"Wo" he said as he pointed "Wo"

Harry glanced down at the bed and saw that Darius was pointing to the toy wolf that he owned. Grinning to himself Harry leant down and picked up the soft toy and handed it to his son who clutched it to his chest.

"Wolf" Harry said slowly and his son frowned

"Wof" Darius tried to copy Harry but failed slightly

"Aren't you a cleaver boy?" Harry asked and carried Darius out of the room and back across the hall into his bedroom where Nikki was just turning over in bed after waking up. "and look who it is"

Darius took one look at his mother and held his arms out for her. Harry deposited him onto the bed and he crawled over to Nikki who gathered him into her arms and placed a kiss onto his cheek.

"Morning baby" she whispered to her son

"Wof" Darius told his mother as he showed her his toy, who looked up at Harry with a shocked look on his face which was mirrored by his proud look.

"Very good" Nikki nodded and kissed her son again "You are a very clever boy aren't you?"

"Of course he is" Harry told her as he went to walk out of the room to check on his two older sons "He's your son"

He walked out of the room and Nikki smiled after him then looked back down at the boy in her arms.

Harry was standing in the kitchen waiting for the to boil so he could make his morning coffee. Looking around slowly when Nikki walked into the room still dressed in her pyjamas he gave her a smile and opened his arms. Nikki walked into them and wrapped her arms around his waist and lay her head on his chest, Harry folded his arms around her shoulders and pressed a kiss onto her hair. They stayed like that for a few minutes until the baby kicked sharply against Nikki's stomach and in doing so, against Harry's. Nikki winced slightly as the baby did so and Harry brought his hand to her stomach and rubbed it gently. Nikki took a deep breath when the baby kicked and Harry frowned.

"Are you okay?" he asked, concerned for his wife and Nikki nodded and gave him a small smile.

"Yeah, it was just a particularly strong kick"

"Feisty like her mother" Harry chuckled and Nikki shook her head and gave him a smirk

"I'm not going in to this again Harry" she sighed and Harry grinned "but it's going to be a boy" her smile faded slightly and she brought her hand up to her husband's face "Are you going to be okay at work today?"

Harry nodded and reached up to cover her hand with his then entwined their fingers and kissed Nikki's hand.

"I'll be fine" he said quietly "It's nearly over, it's up to the police now"

"What about court?" Nikki enquired and Harry shrugged

"I'll think about that when it comes around"

Nikki didn't say anything but leant up and kissed Harry who brought one hand to her cheek then ran it through her hair and then down her back and up the back of her pyjama top causing her to moan slightly into his mouth. Harry broke away and rested his forehead on Nikki's both of them breathing heavily, smiles on their faces.

"Nikki what do you want to do for our anniversary?" Harry asked later on that evening . Darius had already been bathed and put to bed and they were about to do the same with the twins.

"Harry our anniversary is three weeks away and I am five months pregnant" Nikki replied "I'm not sure you want to take a five month pregnant woman anywhere"

"Why?" Harry asked curiously as he waked over to where she was standing in the doorway of the living room and wrapped his arms around her waist, placing both of his hands on her stomach "I want to take you out somewhere"

"Harry.." Nikki started but was cut off when Harry started to kiss his way down her neck causing a slight moan to escape her lips "Harry I don't want to go anywhere, I want to stay in with you and our boys. God Harry…." Nikki continued with some difficulty as Harry chuckled into her neck, knowing exactly what he was doing to her

"No just Harry" he chuckled and Nikki groaned and shook her head. Turning in his arms she placed her hands on his shoulders and Harry leant down to kiss her on the lips but Nikki pushed him away gently.

"I think it's time for the twins to go to bed now" she said quietly as she looked her husband in the eye and gave him a cheeky grin "Then we can continue"

----

"Are you sure you don't want to go anywhere?" Harry asked a few hours later as they lay in bed. Nikki was laying with her back to her husband as he traced random patterns on the bare skin exposed to him causing Nikki to shiver and turn slightly so she was looking at him. Propping himself up on his elbow Harry draped one arm over Nikki's waist and lay his hand on her naked stomach.

"No Harry" she muttered then a smile broke out on her face and she placed one hand on Harry's chest and rubbed it gently causing a shiver to run through his body and her smile to grow "Unless Sam and Leo could look after the boys and we have a night in?" she suggested as she leant up and kissed Harry.

"Sounds like a good idea" Harry whispered against her lips "If your okay with that" he added and moved away slightly "I mean you being almost six months pregnant, we don't have to....."

"Harry I'm fine, as I was with the twins and as I was with Darius so stop fretting" Nikki giggled as she interrupted and ran her hand through his hair with a sigh.

"What did I do to deserve you?" Harry whispered as he kissed her forehead gently and they lay down to sleep.
