Just like the night I saw dad at the store, Harry and I sat on his bed. I could tell he wasn't sure what to do, whether he should give me space and just sit with me or if he should try to pry. But truthfully, I'm not sure what I wanted him to do. A part of me wants to keep crying, to scream at the top of my lungs. But the other part of me hates the thought of showing weakness to anybody.

Harry finally moved and wrapped his arm around me and laid us down making us face each other. He kept me close to his body and his other hand stroked my face. I let out a sigh, decided it would probably be best to talk about what happened tonight.

"I don't know what came over me." I broke the silence. I closed my eyes and nuzzled myself into his neck. "I didn't expect to lash out like that.." I said referring to the restaurant.

"It's okay, it was a lot to process and take in." Harry continued to comfort me and stroke my back. "You didn't react any different than what I would've if I were in your shoes. You have a right to be upset. You have every right to feel the way you feel." He said softly.

"What you went through.. That was a lot. Nobody expects you to welcome him back into your life with open arms as if nothing happened. If he was expecting that, then he's out of his mind." Harry said, causing me to chuckle slightly.

"As much as it hurts.. I can tell that he has changed." I groaned. "I don't remember the last time he looked that healthy, the last time he looked that happy. Whether I want to believe it or not, he has changed. He picked up his life." I admitted. "But I... I just don't know if I can do it. I don't know if I can forgive him completely for everything, how could I? It's a lifetime of abuse and neglect." I furrowed my eyebrows in frustration.

"It's entirely up to you, angel." Harry hugged me tighter. "No matter what your dad says, or what you might think you need to do. Healing takes time, and your wounds just got reopened. You're feeling everything really raw right now, everything is a lot. You should give it time before even thinking about forgiving your dad." He said.

"I never thought I'd see him again. I thought that once I left the house, that would be it. I would never have to see him or deal with his crap again." I mumbled. "I'm tired of thinking of it." I sighed.

"Okay, love. Let's just rest and go to sleep yeah?" He suggested.

"I'm not tired.. Can you distract me?" I peeked up to look at him. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Distract me." I said a little more sternly, this time pulling his arm closer to me.

"Ana, you're not in the right mind. We shouldn-" Harry began to protest but I instantly stopped him.

"I'm not drunk or high, Harry. I'm fine. I know what I'm doing, I know what I want. I want you." I begged. "Please." I pleaded. He stared into my eyes intensely, debating on whether he was going to fulfill my request or not.

After what seemed like forever, he finally pushed his lips onto mine, gently. I groaned and pressed into him.

"Don't hold back. Please." I whispered. I don't know what got into me, but I wanted him to fuck me. Harry groaned at my words and pushed me onto my back, climbing on top of me and attacking my lips once again before then attacking my neck.

"You want me to distract you, angel?" He whispered into my ear. I nodded my head eagerly. "Beg." He said, As if I wasn't already quaking under his touch.

"Harry please." I begged. "Make me feel good." I whined. Harry grinned at me, placing kisses all over my neck.

"You want me to distract you? I'll give you a distraction." His hands roamed my body, feeling every inch he could. He quickly gripped my clothing and pulled it off my body. "You're so perfect, Anastasia. So so perfect." He sighed happily looking over my body. For once in my life I didn't feel the need to cover my bare body, I felt confident in who I was, confident in my body. Comfortable enough with Harry to know that he genuinely loves me.

His lips met clit and a gasp escaped my mouth immediately, the intense feeling making my stomach turn. My eyes shut in bliss, my head tilting back against the mattress. Harry let out a chuckle from my reaction.

"Good girl, let me hear you." Harry smirked, his lips attaching back onto me. My hands instantly grabbed onto his hair tugging it slightly and pushing his head closer to me. Harry hummed in response, working his fingers in between my folds. My brain fuzzed as the sensations continued to build up inside of me.

"Angel , hold still." Harry grunted, grabbing my hips and holding me in place.

"Sorry.." I mumbled, not really being able to control myself.

"So wet for me already.. So eager for me to fuck you?" He inched his way back up to my face, lips meeting mine. I hummed, tasting myself against his tongue. Without warning Harry slammed himself inside of me. A yelp left my mouth immediately.

With no hesitation, Harry pounded into me, not giving me much time to adjust to his size. I moaned in bliss as he penetrated me deeper and deeper with each thrust.

"Oh fuck, Harry." My nails dug into his back, I clung onto him as if my life depended on it.

"Yeah?" He whispered in my ear. "You're taking my cock so good, angel." He kissed my earlobe. Harry never slowed down, keeping the same intense pace. His forehead pressed against mine as our sweating bodies rubbed against each other.

His words alone were enough to make me climax.

"Harry, keep talking. I'm close." I mumbled out to him. His breathing was uneven as the sweat started to form on his forehead.

"You feel so good, Anastasia. So tight around me." Harry grunted out. "Always such a good girl for me, huh baby." He continued. My stomach twisted and I could feel myself clenching, my legs tightening around Harry's waist. "That's it, baby.. Cum for me. Cum all over my cock." He knew I was close and didn't let up his pace on me. I spewed out some curse words as I came undone around his cock, my body relaxing once I hit my climax.

Harry's thrusts became sloppy, I knew he was getting close.

"Cum for me, Harry." I whispered. Harry let out a small fuck as he came inside of me. His body instantly collapsed onto mine as he grunted out.

"Was that good?" He chuckled, looking at my face. I nodded and placed a kiss on his head.

"Always perfect." I smiled at him.

The next morning, Harry thought it would be nice to have a family picnic this morning. The weather was cooling down, the summer heat finally letting out. I know Harry actually wanted to do this to distract my thoughts from my dad.

"Look Pen, we're going to fly a kite!" Harry grinned, holding up a kite in his hands.

"A kite!!" Pen clapped her hands happily. I sat on the picnic blanket with Danny playing with a few toys next to me.

"Yeah, the wind is perfect, I think it'll be fun." Harry nodded his head before taking his seat next to me.

"And for you, I brought this." Harry grinned, handing me a ukelele.

"Ooooo." I grinned and took it from his hand.

"Play us something." He grinned, stretching his legs out and resting on his elbow. My fingers strummed the stings, a smile formed on my face at the sound of music filling the air. We sat around singing songs together, the kids enjoyed being out in the sun. Harry laid his head on my lap as I played the ukelele. If there was one thing I loved doing with Harry, it would definitely be singing.

"Daddy, I love when you sing." Pen smiled at Harry. Harry laughed and grabbed her, pulling her on top of him.

"Thank you, lovey." He said kissing her head.

"You too, Ana!" She pointed at me. I stopped strumming and pinched her cheeks.

"Well, I love singing for you." I smiled at her.

"I love you." She said. My mouth opened slightly at her words, eyes widening slightly. This is the first time she's ever said this to me.

"You do?" I asked, slightly in disbelief. She nodded with a smile.

"I love you a lot!" She cheered. I put the uke down and grabbed her off of Harry's body, giving her a tight squeeze.

"I love you, Pen. So much." I sighed, kissing her forehead and pulling her body back onto mine. I glanced at Harry who had a huge grin on his face, with his phone up in the air. Taking a picture I assume. I stuck my tongue at him playfully and let Pen go from my grip.

"Daddy, let's fly the kite now!" She grabbed Harry's hand and dragged him to the kite that laid on the grass. I swooped Danny up into my arms and walked to where they were, Harry was explaining what they needed to do in order for the kite to work. Soon enough the kite was in the air, the both of them cheering at their success, just like Harry did earlier, I snapped a picture of the two in this moment.

With the business of life, I feel like Harry is never able to capture moments like these in such a raw way. The kids were growing up right in front of our eyes and it's moments like these that I know we wouldn't want to forget.

"Anastasia! Come join us! I'll hold Danny so you can have a go!" Harry called out, waving his hand in the air.

I glanced down at my phone, hearing the notification tone.

Unknown number: Well well well... lovely family you have there.

My eyebrows furrowed at the text, my head spun around glancing at our surroundings.

Unknown number: Didn't think you'd ever move on, cute kid.. is he mine?

Scott.

My breathe caught in my throat, my chest tightened and I could feel the air getting harder and harder to take in.

"Ana?" Harry was in front of me now. Clearly concerned with my body language.

"Scott." I said, staring at my screen. "Scott's here. He sees us." I said, showing Harry the screen. He too looked around the park, searching for anyone out of the ordinary.

"Miss me?" Our bodies turned to the sudden booming voice, his voice was filled with venom.

"What the hell are you doing here, Scott." I growled, pulling Danny closer to my body, and pushing Pen behind me.

"That's no way to greet a friend." He smirked, stepping closer to us. Harry instantly moved in front of me.

"I think it'd be best for you to step away." Harry's voice boomed.

"Ah yes. You must be the boyfriend." Scott looked Harry up and down. "Well done, Annie." He raised an eyebrow at me. "How'd you manage to bag this one? From what I remember, that cunt of yours isn't all that." He snarled. Harry's body tensed at his words and he took a step forward.

"I'd choose your next words very carefully." Harry spat. I pulled his arm back, tugging him towards me.

"Harry.. it's not worth it." I said softly, my chest was still tight, if we didn't get out of here soon I knew I'd have an attack.

"I see you still can't fight your own battles." Scott's eyes pierced into my own.

"Shut it." Harry said. I've never heard him speak with such hostility. "Walk away, man."

"What, I just want to talk. Right Annie, don't you miss me at all?" Scott teased.

"No." I spat. Scott looked taken aback that I actually responded. "No. I don't miss you. I don't miss anything about you." I glared at him, causing him to chuckle.

"Well would you look at that.. she does have voice." Scott smirked, the things I would do to smack that smirk off his face. He took a step closer to us, Harry towered over Scott, still in full attack mode. I glanced up at Harry's eyes and I stiffened, seeing the absolute anger running through his eyes.

"Come on, doll. I think you've had enough fun, it's time to come back home." Scott said, I tensed his words, this man is literally crazy.

"Scott, I'm never going back to you. I already told you, we're done. I never want to see you again." I said, trying to stay calm. "Harry, let's go please.." I whispered to him, tugging him away from Scott and to our stuff. I packed everything as fast as possible, throwing the backpack on my back. Harry was still watching Scott carefully, never taking his eyes off of him.

"You would be nothing without me!" Scott's voice raised, causing me to flinch. Harry took Danny from my arms and also the picnic basket.

"Let's go. Now." I said, we walked away from Scott who was still shouting threats and insults.

"Don't you fucking walk away from me." Scott grabbed onto my arm, pulling me back. I ripped my arm from his grip, my other hand slapping his cheek. I stood shocked at what I just did, I've never hit him back. Scott's face was turned to the side, obviously shocked that I hit him.

"No." I said, standing my ground. "You don't get to tell me what to do. Not anymore. Not now. Not ever." I pointed my finger into his chest. "You had a hold on me, I admit. I let you use me. I let you hurt me. But not anymore, you don't get to hurt me. You don't have that power or control anymore." I laughed at him. "You didn't make me anything besides miserable. If you come near me or my family ever again.. I will kill you." I spat.

"I'm filing a restraining order." I said, taking a few steps back. His eyes met mine, anger and rage took over his entire body. "Stay the hell away." I flicked him off, turning my back to him. Harry stood with a proud grin on his face.

We walked back to the car without looking back. Once we were settled in I let out a big breathe, finally feeling my chest loosen a bit. I looked at Harry, who was still smiling.

"What?" I asked him. He shook his head, the goofy grin never leaving his face. His hands reached up, cupping my cheeks and pulling my head towards his, his lips meeting mine instantly.

"You are so fucking hot." He said softly, not loud enough for the kids to hear, I chuckled at his words. "Seriously, Ana... I'm so proud of you. I know that couldn't have been easy for you." His eyes softened as he stroked my cheek softly.

"Thank you, Harry.." I sighed happily.

"And don't worry, I'm contacting my lawyer as soon as we get home. You are filing that restraining order immediately." Harry pushed. "I can't believe he touched you." He said angrily.

"I'm okay, he can't hurt me anymore." I reassured him.

"I won't let him.. He will never hurt you again. I promise." Harry kissed my forehead. "Also.." He grinned at me. "This is your family." He said happily.

"I love you." I whispered contently, happy to finally have people that love me. To finally have family.

"I love you. So so much."
