"Do you think Sam and Leo will cope with our three very demanding children?" Nikki asked Harry three weeks later as she sat on the edge of their bed watching Harry wander around the room. Sam had just taken the boys to hers and Leo's house so Harry and Nikki could spend their third anniversary together without the interruption of the three young children. Her hand made it's way to her six month pregnant stomach as the baby moved and Harry turned around from where he was undoing his shirt to smile at her.

"They will be fine" he nodded and walked over to kiss her "Now why don't you go downstairs and choose a film that we can watch while I get ready for bed"

"Cant I watch you?" Nikki asked innocently and Harry laughed slightly and shook his head.

"DVD Nikki" he said and pointed to the bedroom door causing Nikki to giggle loudly and stand up off of the bed.

"Okay" she sighed dramatically and shot Harry a grin over her shoulder as she walked out of the room.

Smiling to himself Harry pulled on his bed shirt and pulled off his jeans so he could put on his baggy tracksuit pants. They had both decided that they would be more comfortable in their bed clothes even though it was only just seven o'clock in the evening. As Harry walked down the hallway his smile grew as he passed the room that was to be their new baby's nursery. Harry and Leo had painted the room a neutral pale green colour a few weeks ago while Sam had been at work and Nikki been downstairs entertaining the boys. All the furniture was set up and all the room needed now was a baby to use it. As Harry walked down the stairs and past the dressing table at the bottom he reached over and picked up the box of tissues that was laying on the top. Whatever film they watched at the present moment, Nikki cried. Harry smiled fondly when he thought back to the week before, Nikki had been in tears over Hannibal and Harry couldn't understand why. This led to Nikki shouting at him for being insensitive and another bout of crying. Nikki was already sitting on the sofa, her legs under her when Harry walked into the room. He grinned when he threw her the box he was carrying and she gave him a playful glare.

"Do you think you are funny?"

"Oh yes" Harry nodded "What film are we watching?"

Nikki reached down next to her and picked up a DVD cover and handed it to her husband who took it and looked at the cover.

"Phantom of the Opera?" he asked incredulously and raised an eyebrow "Is this going to have you as a blubbering mass on the floor?"

"Don't mock me Cunningham" Nikki said and pouted "It's not my fault my hormones are everywhere at the moment"

"Nikki you cried at Hannibal" Harry chuckled as he knelt down to put the DVD in the machine.

"Yes well…" Nikki started then moved over on the sofa slightly as Harry walked over and sat down next to her "It shouldn't have ended like that" she muttered and turned to Harry slightly as he draped one arm over her shoulder and placed his other hand over her stomach "Have you read the book?"

"No" Harry shook his head "Why?"

"Well you wouldn't understand unless you've read it" Nikki sighed and turned back to the television as Harry pressed the play button on the remote.

Halfway through the film and Nikki was already crying, Harry handed Nikki another tissue and ran one hand over her hair.

"It's not fair" Nikki sniffled as she wiped her eyes "Stupid rich bas…"

"Yes well…" Harry interrupted "I think we know your views on Raoul"

"It's just…" Nikki sniffed again "They don't…" a few more tears slipped from her eyes and down her cheeks "It's only because…of his face…that they don't…like him"

"And the fact that he kills people" Harry added dryly and Nikki turned to glare at him

"It's because they don't like him that he kills people" she told him and Harry shrugged

"If you say so"

"I do" Nikki said shortly and Harry knew that was the end of the conversation.

After the film had finished and Nikki had stopped crying, they just sat in each others arms for a while. After a few minutes of silence Nikki suddenly leant up and kissed Harry passionately causing him to moan in surprise. She reached up and ran one hand through his hair and the other came to his face to stroke his cheek gently with her thumb. Harry wrapped one arm around Nikki's waist and pulled her gently down onto his lap and brought his other hand to her hair and ran it through the soft blonde strands. Nikki moaned as Harry deepened the kiss and they broke apart a few seconds later for oxygen. Harry leant his forehead on Nikki's, both of them breathing heavily.

"I love you" Harry whispered as he kissed her lazily and Nikki sighed contentedly and smiled

"and I love you" she ran her hand through his hair again "Shall we go upstairs?"

-----

"Only three more months" Harry commented when Nikki shifted as the baby moved into an uncomfortable position.

"Good" Nikki grunted "I'm so bloody uncomfortable"

Harry reached out and tentatively placed his hand on her stomach just as the baby moved again and Nikki groaned and moved once more. Harry smiled gently down at his wife as she closed her eyes and moved closer to him.
