This is the other song I took as an inspiration for this story.
I was thinking of making Harry sing it in one of the previous chapters but then I changed my mind.

But now it's here so you can listen to it.
Is from the same band that I told you a couple of chapters back.

Okay, now. There are only two chapters left and I'm already crying.
I don't want this to end I just love writing this so much.

Since the beginning I wanted this story to be as Angst free as possible. That was my primary goal. I think I did pretty good, didn't I?

God, I really don't want to say goodbye to this one.

I woke up the next morning only thinking about Harry's visit today and choosing the way I would introduce him to my family.
I wasn't worried at all, they already loved him, but I was anxious.
And I missed him already.

But since Harry didn't show up until midday, I had had all morning to do my duties and Lottie's duties too, since she did mine the day before. It was only fair that I let her rest today.

So after a really busy morning for me I had the biggest reward of it all: My boyfriend showing up.

We were just finishing lunch when the doorbell rang.

"I'll go!" - I said, standing up from the table and running to the door.

I opened the entrance door and found Harry on the other side, looking extremely gorgeous and smiling at me.

"Hey…" - He trailed, stepping inside the house so I could close the door behind him. - "How are you, firefly?"

I smiled to myself and stood on my tiptoes to peck his lips.

"I'm great. How are you? What happened with Gemma yesterday after I left?"

Harry sighed.

"Can we talk about it later?" - He said with pleading eyes.

"Yes baby, sure. Want to see the family?" - I smiled, excitedly.

"That's what I came for."

"Okay, c'mon."

I took Harry's wrist, guiding him towards the living room where most of my siblings were watching TV after lunch.

"Harry is here!" - Doris said once she saw him, running to us and jumping on Harry's arms.

"Hello baby girl." - Harry said to her, caressing her hair as she hugged his neck.

"Do you want to play with my dolls today?" - She asked.

"Of course, can I be the blonde one today?" - He asked her.

"Yes! Let's go to my room!"

"Wait a second, munchkin." - I said. - "Family! I need to tell you all something." - I called out to the few people that were still missing.

"What is it dear?" - My mom asked, entering the room and sitting next to Felicité.

"Wait. There's someone missing. I want everyone here. Where is Lottie? Lottie, come here!" - I said.

"God, Louis, I'm here, what do you want?!" - She said, entering the room shortly after.

"Okay, you're all here. Good. You probably already imagined this, so it won't be a surprise, but I wanted to tell you all at the same time." - I said.

"What?" - Phoebe asked.

"Harry and I are together. Officially."

I received a couple of strange looks from my sisters.

"That's it?" - Felicité asked.

"I thought he was going to say he was pregnant or something." - Daisy said and Phoebe laughed.

"Girls, stop it." - My dad interrupted them. - "Thanks for telling us, guys. It's great news."

"That means Harry is going to live here?" - Doris asked, still in Harry's arms.

"No." - I said. - "He has his own place."

"But I want him here." - She pouted.

"I promise I'll be here as much as I can. And we can play with your dolls. Would you like that?" - Harry said to her, causing me to smile.

"Yes!"

"And we can watch the fireflies with Harry again!" - Ernest yelled and Doris cheered as well.

"Can we watch them today, Harry?" - Doris asked him.

"Okay, Doris, baby, let me talk to Harry and Louis alone." - My mother said, taking her from Harry's arms and giving her to Felicité. - "Come with me." - She said to us.

My mother took us to the kitchen where we were alone and pulled us both in a hug.

"It's wonderful that you found your soulmate this early in life, because you're going to enjoy being together for many many years to come. And you're going to be so happy that you're not going to believe it's possible." - She said and pulled back from the hug. - "This is probably one of the most important things that are going to happen to you, but you both need to know that sometimes it isn't as easy as it is now. You're going to have to put some effort into keeping the relationship healthy, you know? Being soulmates does not assure you anything. You'll have to fight for each other every day from now on. I trust you will do it, and that you're going to find your way together until the end. I'm proud of both of you." - My mother said and then turned to me. - "And you boo, I'm so happy you didn't give up on searching for him."

Then my father showed up on the door frame, evaluating us from a distance.

"Hey guys, I'm happy for both of you, but Harry, let me tell you something. If you turn my son into a brat hotel owner in the following years I'll come find you." - My dad threatened.

My mother rolled her eyes at him and Harry laughed.

"Then it's a good thing I'm not going to be the owner of a hotel for much longer." - He said.

I looked up at him with a grin on my face and he found my eyes too, looking fondly at me.

"Then I guess you're fine." - My dad concluded and I hit his arm.

After that, my mother took my father out of the room, finally leaving us alone.
I immediately wrapped my arms around his waist, pushing him softly against the counter of the kitchen and positioning myself in between his legs.
Harry placed his arms around my neck and pressed his forehead against my chest

"Hey beautiful." - I whispered. - "Happy now that you're accepted?" - I asked.

"Very happy." - He grinned, leaning up and kissing my lips.

"Are you staying the rest of the day? Or do you have to go?"

"I think I can stay a few hours, then I'll leave to help Gemma with the selling arrangements and all."

"So you guys are going to sell, huh?" - I asked.

"Yeah, I convinced her and we started looking for someone right away. There's like three very rich men who want the whole hotel chain, so we still have to choose, and arrange the employees' contracts, and more stuff that I actually don't have a clue about. But the good thing is that we will probably get really good money out of it and we'll divide it between the two of us. Actually we were lucky that my mother left everything under our names, so it is quite an easy procedure." - He smiled.

"I'm glad." - I said, caressing his waist with my fingers. - "Have you guys thought about what you are going to do after selling?"

"Gemma is already planning on going back to London, and guess what? now that summer is soon to be over, Liam is going back there as well, so they'll probably end up together."

"You know what's curious about them?" - I asked.

"What?"

"That they met at the beach but not because they're soulmates, they are just normal."

"Then I guess not everyone is as lucky as we are." - He smiled.

"I guess not." - I pecked his lips again. - "What about you? What are your plans after selling?" - I asked softly, starting to worry a bit about him leaving without warning.

"I haven't decided yet." - He sighed, looking into my eyes and catching my worriedness. - "But I know you'll be there."

He kissed my cheek and then rested his head back on my shoulder. We stayed like that for a couple of minutes, safe in each other's arms and listening to the voices of my family and the television coming from the other room.

"So, if you're not staying tonight, you won't watch the fireflies. The twins are going to be mad." - I said, giggling.

"Why would I want to watch the fireflies if I have my own right here." - He said nuzzling into my neck. - "And let me say you shine way brighter than them."

I know I blushed and I dropped my head back in amusement.

"It's not funny anymore how much you make me blush."

"It's still funny for me though."

🌊🌊🌊

Like a half an hour later we were all gathered in the living room, spread out on the couch and on the floor, we were still watching TV and Harry was curled up by my side. My arms were around him and he had his face buried in my chest.

"We've been together for a couple of days and I already feel like it was a lifetime by your side." - He whispered.

"That's the soulmate's power." - I said, jokingly.

"Oh shut up you two." - Lottie said from the floor, rolling her eyes.

Ernest, who was in my mother's lap, started yawning and Doris followed suit.

"C'mon twins, time for your nap." - Mom said, taking Ernie up and motioning Doris to stand up as well.

"Mom… can Louis tell us the bedtime story today?" - Ernie asked.

"Yes! The story of how he met Harry, mom!" - Doris added.

Harry looked up at me with a smirk and I rolled my eyes.

"Go and ask him." - My mom sighed.

Doris came running to us, straddling my lap.

"Boo?" - She asked, really close to my face.

"Yes?" - I smiled.

"Can you please tell us your story to sleep?" - She pouted with begging eyes.

"Yes munchkin, anything for you."

I took her in my arms, standing up from the sofa and taking Ernest's hand as I headed to the stairs.

"Can I go hear it too?" - Harry asked, now standing up from the sofa as well.

I rolled my eyes and nodded.

"Yeah, you already know it anyways."
