Harry Styles Imagines and Preferences Book Two

Little Nightmares

A slight kiss presses to your forehead and your eyes slowly flutter open. Harry stands above you beside the bed in the darkness of your bedroom. 

"Harry?," you whisper, your body slowly trying to wake itself up. He nods over to his side of the bed where your daughter sleeps, clutching his pillow tightly. 

"Bloody little nightmare she is" you chuckle, answering his indirect question as to why she was taking up his space in the bed. He chuckles and shakes his head.

 "Sorry babe, I didn't think you were coming home tonight, otherwise I would have slept in her room with her." He shakes his head and smiles, 

"It's alright, I'll be downstairs." You shuffle under the covers and he stops you when his hand. 

"Stay, sleep." You look at him longingly. 

"I'll see you in the morning," he continues, pressing another kiss to your forehead before leaving the room. You shuffle out of the covers ignoring his request. 

"I thought I told you to stay in bed?" He asks as you emerge onto the hardwood floor of the living room. 

"You're going to want a tea," you respond with a smile. He shakes his head and goes to the linen closet in the hallway to get a blanket for his sleep on the couch. Once he makes himself a comfortable place for the night he moves into the kitchen.

 "How was Ireland?" You inquire once he's behind you, his arms latching around your waist.

 "It was good, Niall had a blast as usual. But I missed you two." He placed a kiss to the back of your neck

"Well you were only gone a few days," remind him, a smirk on your face. 

"Yeah I know, guess you're going to have to come down to Australia with us in a few days."

 "Oh I don't know about all of that." You chuckle

"And why not?" He questions playfully, tightening his grip around your waist.

 "Because that's a long way from home and you know how she gets when she's away from here for that amount of time." You explain, placing your hands over Harry's which were resting on your stomach

"Just think about how much fun she would have though." 

"Daddy!" The both of you hear as the sound of little feet running on the floor gets closer. Your conversation had been officially interrupted.

 "Hey!!" Harry shouts, letting go of you to pick the overly excited child up. 

"We will talk about this later," you say in a low tone, turning back to focus on the kettle. 

"I'm sorry I slept in your bed with mummy. I had a nightmare about that big scary wolf again."She pushed her head into the crook of his neck as she held the teddy you had bought her when she was born tightly in her arms 

 "Not the wolf again!" He responds in horror. 

"Yeah I know. I think I'm going to have to stay in there with mummy tonight just in case he comes back," she admits, already knowing Harry's answer. 

"That's alright poppet, I've got a nice place on the couch for tonight." He smiles 

"Thank you daddy!." She shimmies down from his grasp and runs back up the stairs to continue her sleep.

 "Please come to Australia with us," Harry pleads once he knows his voice won't carry to the little ears in the house. 

"Maybe for a few days," you respond. This was more than he had gotten from you before so he accepts the offer. You hand him his cup of tea and leave a small kiss on his lips before turning the kitchen lights out and making your way to the staircase. 

"I'll see you in the morning." He nods and smiles, raising his glass in gratitude and laying down on his makeshift bed.
