a small blurb on harry, you and your bub on easter x
âDo you think heâs awake?â harry mumbled, turning over in the bed to face you. Itâs currently easter morning and youâre waiting for your 4 year old to wake up. You think Harryâs a little more excited than you and max. He prepared this whole easter egg hunt around the house and garden, and heâs even cooking a whole roast dinner too. Since covid struck, this will be your second easter in lockdown. You hate it so much, but you know you guys have it much better than other people so you try to make the most of it. Max, your son, is constantly learning new things and really being able to help him without having work to worry about is nice - especially for harry.
âI donât knowâ you say snuggling more into your pillow. âPlease do not wake him, H. He was a nightmare to get to bed last night. Wanted to catch the easter bunnyâ you grumbled and harry sighed laying on his back.
âOf course he sleeps in on the most exciting day of the yearâ Harry groaned and you giggled.
âMost exciting day of the year, huh?â you asked and harry nodded. âI mean, birthdays are great and all. But Easter is the best. Get to eat all the chocolate in the world without getting judgedâ he said and you nodded.
âCanât argue with thatâ
It was quiet for a few seconds, until you heard little feet padding their way down the hall. You closed your eyes and tried to embrace that last few seconds of silence. Max is as crazy and charismatic as his dad. He loves to perform and show off, and heâs loud too. Which you always try to encourage, you just wish heâd be loud in the back garden not right in your ear. Heâs proper like his dad, in so may ways. Max was born to perform, just like harry. So you both decided youâd put him in dance club - if he hated it, youâd take him out and try something different. But no, he absolutely loved it and was the star of every dance recital showing off all his skills.
âMama!â Max yelled opening the door to your and harryâs room.
âHey! what about, daddy!â harry teased and max giggled trying his hardest to climb up on the bed. Heâs a little small for his age (courtesy of you, youâre the shortest in the family and friend groups). Harry pulls him up and max climbs in between you two, snuggling into your neck. Heâs definitely a daddyâs boy, but he does love a good mummy cuddle.
âEaster bunny time?â he asked loudly in your ear. you moved your head and tried to hide your grimace with a huge, grin. You nodded confirming his question. âWe have to do a hunt for your easter eggs. the easter bunny told daddy!â you gushed and maxâs eyes widened. He turned to his dad to see if it was true. Harry nodded enthusiastically.
âThe easter bunny said if max wants his easter eggs he has to go on a easter egg hunt was mama and daddy!â Harry said and max gasped, which made you and harry laugh to yourselves. Heâs was to cute and innocent.
âLes goâ Max squealed. He had trouble pronouncing his Tâs, so everything with T was replaced with an S. Youâre hoping his grows out of it, the speech teacher said he would with some practice. But it is very cute.
You and harry smile at each other, before harry lifts max off the bed. You stand up, stretching. Youâre all in your matching easter onesies (Harry insisted). Harry is the best dad. Always putting 200 % into everything he does with max. Max wasnât necessarily planned, you werenât shocked when you found out but it wasnât like you and harry were trying for a baby. But Harry was super excited and helped you so much through the pregnancy. You were really sick the first two months, and harry was there through it all - never once leaving your side.
âLook! paperâ Max pointed when you closed your door. How he didnât notice is the first time, baffles you.
âIt says we have to go downstairs!â Harry read and max squealed running downstairs.
âCareful!â you call out, but harry was already running down the stairs after him. Like father, like son. âOk, it says to look behind the sofaâ harry said and max nodded looking behind the sofa. He giggled and when you looked behind the sofa it was a huge easter egg. You pulled the note off the box and read it for an eager max.
âOk, buddy. You had to go outside and look in the plantsâ you said and max nodded forgetting all about the other egg. you laughed and placed the first egg on the counter. Harry watched as max pulled the second (smaller) egg out of the plants.
âNow, youâre last egg is in the kitchen!â harry read and max sprinted to the kitchen nearly falling. He quickly caught himself though, nearly giving you a heart attack. You were leaning again the counter, preparing some breakfast for max, you and harry. Max and maybe harry were going to through a strop when you say he canât have chocolate for breakfast.
âSo big, mamaâ Max gushed and you nodded, placing a hand on his curly hair. âNow, give your egg to daddy and weâll have some chocolate pancakes!â you say and max squealed with excitement.
