After yesterday's incident with Harry calling me Dani, we both tried really hard for things not to get weird or awkward. The key word is tried- I failed miserably. I didn't want him to feel guilty in any way but I couldn't help but overthink everything.

Neither Harry or I have addressed or spoken about it since breakfast yesterday, I definitely just wanted to move on from it all, but there was a hint of tension between us.

It was a beautiful Sunday morning and I wanted to get out of the house for a little, I figured I would go shopping today. Most of my clothes are old or worn out and I figured it would be nice to upgrade a little considering I haven't been spending much money and the huge pay increase I just got.

"Are you going somewhere?" Harry asked as I walked into the living room, tightening my ponytail.

"Oh, uh yes. I'm going to the mall." I stated simply, adjusting the jacket I was wearing.

"Oh okay.. Do you mind if we tag along?" Harry asked with pleading eyes. "Or if you would rather just be alone that's totally okay too." He quickly added in, I giggled to myself at his nervousness.

I did want to be alone for a bit, but I couldn't turn down that face nor would I ever say no to spending more time with Harry and the kids.

"You can tag along." I smiled at him.

"Cool." He smiled, getting up from his seat and heading towards his room to change, I assume. Penelope was in her room playing with her toys and Danny was in his playpen. I got Danny out first, figuring I could probably get the kids ready to go before Harry would be ready. That man can take ages sometimes.

"Pen, we're going to go out, go pick out some clothes. Something comfortable." I called out to her. She would choose a princess gown if it were up to her. I heard her respond with an okay before she started shuffling around her room. Danny was quiet today, which worried me. Usually he was very upbeat and happy, today he just seemed tired.

I changed his diaper and put him in outside clothes, I checked his temperature as well. Everything seemed to be okay, I figured he was just tired.

"Alright, darling." I said, lifting him up in my arms. "You okay?" I asked him. He just laid his head on my shoulder and I sighed, maybe he's still sleepy. I packed his diaper bag and brought him to the living room, letting him on the floor to play and walk around. Danny was walking more, he stumbled a lot but I knew soon enough he'd be running around the house.

"Okay, I'm ready." I turned to face Harry. He was wearing black jeans and a black tee, his hair messily thrown around how I like it. It took everything in me not to stare for too long but I couldn't resist. "Penelope let's go!" He called out, Penelope quickly ran out of her room with her shoes in her hands, handing them to Harry to put on for her.

"Danny seems a bit off today, let's just keep an eye on his temperature." I said while I transferred stuff from my purse to the diaper bag. There's no need for me to carry around two bags.

"I noticed. Hopefully he's okay." Harry sighed, crouching down to Danny before giving him a kiss on the cheek. "You okay, bug?" He asked Danny, just like earlier, Danny just wanted to be held.

"Alright, let's go. I'll drive." Harry said picking up Danny.

"Well yeah, I don't know who else would." I laughed at him.

"You don't drive?" He asked me, surprised. I shook my head.

"I do, I just.. My car is absolute trash. So I just take the bus everywhere." I shrugged, throwing the diaper bag over my shoulder and grabbing onto Pens hand to go out the house. "How have you not noticed?" I laughed, it's been weeks and he hasn't noticed I don't bring my car around?

"Oh... I knew you took the bus around, but I thought it was just a preferred mode of transportation, not out of necessity. That's not very safe, a pretty girl like you can't be taking the bus around everywhere, especially late at night. From now on, if you need to go somewhere let me drive you. Or you can use the other car, it's just collecting dust anyways." Harry stared at me with a firm look on his face. I wanted to protest but I knew he wasn't going to let me win this fight so I just nodded my head at him.

I swung Pen's hand in mine as we made our way to the car.

"I was thinking we could go to Children's Place first? Get some new clothes for the kids." I suggested to Harry who was buckling up Danny while I buckled Pen. He grunted in response.

"Yeah, sounds good love." He said with a smile, before getting into the drivers seat. Love.

I tried my best to shake away the blush that rose onto my face. I finished buckling Pen in and hopped into my own seat.

"Danny's hit a growth spurt and you were by no means prepared for it huh." I laughed at him. Most of Danny's clothes were getting too small and I could tell Harry had no intentions to get new ones any time soon.

"Hey now, I've been a busy man." Harry pouted as he drove. I shook my head with a laugh, turning up the radio. The rest of the car ride was peaceful, consisted of Pen's chatter and the soft hums that left mine and Harry's mouth.

By the time Harry pulled into the parking lot, Penelope was buzzing and ready to get out of the car. She was like a small ball of fire, always full of energy. I pushed Danny in the stroller and Harry took Pen's hand. It was pretty busy at the mall considering it was a weekend day.

"Hope you've got a lot of energy, looks like it's going to be a long day." I grinned at Harry, he didn't know this about me, but I actually like shopping a lot. "Alright... why don't you and Pen go pick out some clothes, and I'll join you guys in a bit. Keep your phone handy." I said as we walked into the entrance of Children's Place. Harry held up his phone.

"Yes ma'am!" He saluted and walked away towards the girls section. I smiled down at Danny who looked a little more alive than he did this morning.

"Let's go find you some cute clothes." After rummaging through the racks of clothes, I had a heaping pile of clothes for Danny, consisting of new pajamas, outside clothes, formal clothes, new shoes and even some clothes that resembled Harry's casual clothes. Content with what I've found, I made my way to the girls section to see what Harry picked out.

"Alright, let's see it." I snuck up to the pair who were laughing deviously.

"Well well well.. Let's see what Ana has to say about our clothes." Harry smiled at Penelope who grinned at me. Harry held up three outfits, very bright and vibrant outfits. My eyes widened at their selection and I broke out into a fit of laughter.

"Wow! Those are... so bright!" I grinned at them.

"Penelope chose them." Harry laughed, while rolling his eyes.

"Of course she did." I pinched her cheeks. "We'll take them, but I'm going to pick out some more clothes for you alright, bug?" I asked her, she nodded her head and we continued to shop around for her clothes.

The store was having a huge sale and everything was at least 40% off which made me super excited. I love sales.

"Alright, your total today will be $246.40." The cashier smiled at us. I began to dig through the diaper bag for my wallet but Harry shoved his card in the card reader before I could even reach it.

"Harry!" I scolded him.

"Let me spoil my kids." He stuck his tongue out at me. Danny began to fuss, calling out "mama" rather loudly. I sighed, hopefully he was still feeling okay.

"Alright baby, I'm right here. I've got you." I cooed at him, unbuckling him from the stroller and lifting him in my arms.

"You guys are such an adorable family." The young cashier smiled at us. "You two seem so perfect for each other." She continued. I blushed, not sure on how to respond.

"Thank you, ma'am. Appreciate it." Harry smiled, grabbing the receipt from her. "Have a good day!" He called cheerfully before throwing the bag of clothes on the stroller and pushing it, with Pen following behind her.

"Cute family huh?" I teased, walking beside Harry, Danny laid his head on my shoulder.

"We are pretty cute huh?" Harry smiled at me cheekily. "And us.. very good together she says." Harry nudged my arm and I rolled my eyes playfully. I believe the word she used was perfect.

"Well we do make a pretty good team." I said, gesturing to the two kids.

"I don't know what I'd do without you." He smiled, walking aimlessly in the mall.

"Probably buy the ugliest clothes for the cutest kids." I tease. Harry rolled his eyes.

"I'm sure you would be fine, you were doing just fine before me." I shrugged at him, looking at the shops we passed, this was a fancier mall that I've never been to. Everything was new to me.

"Barely.. But now you're in my life. I really couldn't imagine you not in my life." Harry said softly, his words always found a way to make my heart swell.

"Well the feeling is definitely mutual. You.. the kids.. I couldn't imagine doing anything else with my life at this time." I smiled contently. "Ooo! Let's go in there! They're having a sale!" I yelped excitedly, walking into a store.

"Anastasia.." Harry sang, I turned away from the rack I was digging through and glanced at Harry. "This is absolutely beautiful. You have to get it." Harry grinned, holding up a long black silk dress. I stared at him, it was a very pretty dress.

"What would I need that for?" I laughed at him, continuing through my rack.

"For formal events, come on. It never hurts to have a nice dress!" Harry brought the dress over to me, taking Danny from me and buckling him back into the stroller.

"It's pretty!!" Pen agreed with Harry.

"Well... I'll try it on later and we'll see how I feel then." I continued to dig through the racks of clothes, occasionally passing one to Harry to hold for me to try on. I wasn't really looking for anything in particular, just needed to get some new clothes since summer was approaching.

Danny started yanking on my ponytail and I winced at his tugs.

"Danny, baby. That hurts..." I whined, trying to pry his hand from my hair. His grip only seemed to get harder. "Alright, you're going back in the stroller." I giggled, giving up. He finally let go and I strapped him into the stroller before redoing my ponytail.

"Why do you always have your hair in a ponytail?" Harry asked from behind me. I whipped around to look at him. "I don't think I've ever seen you with your hair down." He squinted his eyes and walked closer to me. I just shrugged at him.

"I'm not sure, I just like having it up." I brushed it off, there was no particular reason. Growing up, my dad always wanted me to have my hair up and out of my face, it was basically drilled into my brain and then when I started dating Scott, well he always wanted it up too.

Harry didn't seem content with my answer but didn't push me any further to talk about it, I was always thankful for that. Harry never pushed too hard, or pried too much, he respected me.

"Okay, I'm going to go try these on, you good with the kids?" I asked, grabbing the heaping pile in his arms.

"Yes, yes. You go. Come out and show me when you try them on." Harry pushed me towards the dressing room, he followed behind, sitting on the bench outside of the dressing room.

"Daddy, can we get food?" I could hear Penelope chat with her Harry through the door, she was rather loud so it wasn't easy to miss. I decided to try on the tops first, matching them with some of the shorts and skirts that Harry helped me pick out.

Harry always responded with a, "You have to get that!" or "That looks really nice." With the occasional, "Ehh, it's alright."

I decided to save the dress Harry picked out for last, and I was shocked when I looked at the mirror. I've never really dressed up for anything besides my senior Prom, never really went out or anything. I instantly fell in love with the dress, but was heartbroken when I saw the price. There's no way I could afford this dress.

Nonetheless, I opened the door and showed Harry, he gazed up from his phone and his eyes instantly went wide.

"You.. look stunning. Anastasia, please tell me you're getting that dress." He grinned at me widely, making me blush.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" I chuckled. "But I don't think I'm going to get it." He instantly frowned at my words. "It would be irresponsible for me to buy this." I laughed with a shrug. I turned back into the dressing room and looked at myself in the mirror one more time, I took a picture of myself in the mirror just for the heck of it and dressed back into my clothes.

"Alright, I'm ready to go." I smiled at Harry, I handed him all the clothes I wasn't going to buy so he could put them back as I went to pay for my clothes.

"Hello! Did you find everything alright?" The cashier smiled at me warmly.

"Yes, thank you." I reached for my wallet in my purse before Penelope tugged on my arm.

"Is this going to be all for you?" The cashier asked, I nodded at her and gave an apologetic smile as Penelope kept tugging on me and whining.

"Penelope, please." I scolded her. "Give me one moment, baby." I pleaded with her.

"Actually, one more." I heard Harry's voice beside me, he handed the cashier the black dress and my eyes widened.

"Harry!" I whisper yelled at him. Gripping his arm tightly.

"Alright, your total today is going to be $472.53" My eyes widened at the total, but then my jaw dropped as Harry jammed his card into the chip reader.

"Harry!" I exclaimed again. He just laughed beside me, clearly amused at my reaction. The cashier bagged my clothes and handed it to Harry, thanking us and wishing us a good day.

"Are you absolutely out of your mind?!" I scolded Harry as we walked out the store.

"What?" He laughed at me. "I don't know what you're talking about." He shrugged.

"I'll pay you back. Take it out of my paycheck!" I pleaded with him, feeling immensely guilty at the fact he just paid that much for me.

"Anastasia. Please. I wanted to do it. I wouldn't have done it, if I didn't want to. There will be no paying back or anything of the sort, do you understand?" Harry's voice was firm, slightly intimidating but incredibly hot. I nodded at his words.

"Besides.. I'd pay a lot more money than that just to see you in that dress again." He whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

"Thank you, H." I said softly. Harry looked at me weirdly.

"H?" He chuckled. I shrugged, I don't know where it came from. But I liked it.

"I like that." He smiled. "H." He repeated to himself.

"Come on, let's go get something to eat." I grinned.

"Oh, Penelope. Good work in there." Harry lifted her up and peppered her face with kisses, which made her giggle. My jaw dropped as I realized that Penelope was distracting me so Harry could buy everything.

"You two are unbelievable." I shook my head at them as they continued to cheer and giggle amongst themselves.
