No Power
A little Harry and kids while we all self isolate/ self quarantine. When storms blow outside only Harry can calm the Styles clan down...
Kids ages: Connor (17), Becca (16), Grayson and Riley (14), Victoria (10), Casey (5)
(Y/u)- your university/college
The wind gusts outside were making you nervous. It was days like these when you wished you and Harry had used protection a bit more often. You hated losing power not because of the dark but because nothing was harder then entertaining six kids at once with ages ranging from 5-17. There was nothing they could all agree on and to make matters worse Harry had gotten stuck in traffic on his way home.
Casey was about ready to cry every time a tree creaked outside, but luckily you had Riley and Grayson distracting her as you went to look for more candle and matches. Connor and Becca came up from the basement with a couple of flashlights. Right behind them ran Vicca with her arms full of board games and puzzles. She raced into the living room and placed them all on the table hurriedly before trying to convince Gray and Riley to play with her. It looked like world war three had taken place in your living room but at this point the only thing that mattered to you was keeping everyone happy. Your “number of days without a cry in the house” chart had been at 0 for the past week and you didn’t think it was going to change anytime soon.
Another gust hit they house as you slowly walked towards the window. You lived in what you called the woods as you were surrounded by trees from every side. It was beautiful year round but every time these strong winds would come around you were feared a tree would fall on the house.
“Swear to god if one of these freak’n trees falls on this house or near it I will tear that man a new one. Told him so many times to get these trees checked but he wouldn’t” you mumbled to yourself as you peaked outside for a moment.
As you were about to close the curtain you heard a crack of thunder and saw lightning shoot down onto the ground, just missing your utility poll. Scared by the noise, Casey began to cry historically and you picked her up in your arms to try and calm her down. Most of your old kids looked quite frightened by the lighting as well so you gave them all a reassuring smile and told them to sit around on the couch in the room.
"Why don't we make that Harry Potter puzzle you brought Victoria" Becca stated as she pulled everyone's attention to the table. The rest of the group nodded their heads and started spreading out the pieces.
“Think they moved the storm up to a tropical storm a couple hours ago. Suppose to be hit a bit harder then expected” Connor stated as he picked up Victoria off the couch, taking her spot so she could sit in her lap.
“Mommy what’s a tropical storm?” Victoria asked as she tugged at the rings on Connor’s fingers as she does with Harry.
“Nothing we need to worry about love, just a little more wind then usual that’s all,” you replied as you craddled Casey in your arms and glared at Connor for bringing it up
"Gray, can you turn on the fire place please? There should be some wood in the garage near the bike rack. Riley can you help him grab up here?” You asked as you walked into the kitchen to get Casey some water.
Both boys nodded and got to work as you placed Casey on the kitchen counter and grabbed her water bottle, refilling it.
"Daddy...... mommy I want daddy" Casey stated in between sniffles and tears.
"He's coming, don't you worry baby. Daddy’s on his way back from work and he’s bringing a special surprise" you said, placing a kiss on her head.
“Happy meal?!” Casey said slightly excited by the prospects of her favorite person bringing her a special treat.
“Maybe, well have to wait and see baby” you whispered as you pushed her hair away from her forehead.
"All done mom" you heard Riley yell from afar.
“Thank you babies” you yelled back before grabbing your phone and sending a quick text telling him to try and hurry. Harry was always good at entertaining them all and that's what you really needed right now.
You paced through the first floor with Casey in your arms as you looked for some blankets seeing as the heating in your house had stopped working a little over an hour ago when the power first went out. After passing a couple out to your children and wrapping one around Casey, you took a sit on the couch next to Becca and waited for Harry. Suddenly and you saw lights outside and you heard a car engine, you realized that Harry was finally home. You were about to get up and greet him at the door when suddenly you heard a horrific crack and boom noise. A course of screams rang from around the room as your kids startled at the noise.
Casey began to sob again in your arms as you quickly turned on your phone flashlight to shine it in everyone in the room, making sure everyone was ok. Carefully, you got off the couch and walked towards the window, seeing a giant tree laying on the ground five feet from your living room window. Shocked at how close it was to your house you slowly backed away from the window, hugging Casey to your chest. The tree had taken down the entire power line with it as it was now laying on your drive way.
You started to pull the blind downs as you heard Harry manually trying to open the garage door to get his car inside.
"Everything's fine guys, don't worry. Rebecca, why don't you take Casey to go wait for daddy at the door. I hear he might have a surprise for everyone" you stated as you wiped the tears from Casey’s face. Casey wriggled out of your arms and both girls ran hand and hand to the garage door.
"Becca light all the candles for me please, I’m going to get some plates out” you stated as you passed her one of the lighters. Riley grabbed the lighter and started swinging it around pointing it at Grayson's hair.
"Let me do it" he said
"Absolutely not. The last thing we need is you burning the house with that" you stated as you grabbed it from him and went to the kitchen to light some candles.
As you were lighting the last one a door creaked and you heard Harry’s voice followed by giggles. Harry walked in carrying Casey in his arms as Becca carried the bag full of greasy food you had persuaded him to buy. You smiled at him as he walked towards you.
"Hi love, how are you?" He asked as he walked into the kitchen and gave you a quick kiss before placing Casey on the counter.
“Mommy mommy, daddy brought me a happy meal” Casey cheered as she kicked her legs against the cabinets.
"Wonderful honey but don’t kick the cabinets. I’m alright H, glad you're home" you replied as you separated the candles from Casey's reach.
"You look like you could use a towel though" you stated as you touched his soaking wet hair and brushed it down a bit. He shook his hair like a dog in your face, causing Casey to burst into giggles. You shook your head and walked to the closet to find a towel for him.
Harry scooped up Casey and walked into the living room to sit with the rest of your kids. As you approached the living room you saw that Victoria had already started spreading out the boxes of chicken nuggets and fries.
You stood behind Harry as he sat on the recliner and placed the towel on top of his head, rubbing it roughly with your fingers to dry his hair. You shook his head side to side which caused a chorus of laughs from Casey and Victoria.
"Jesus love, if you wanted to take my head off there are nicer ways to do it" Harry stated as he brushed his hair back into place with a smile.
"She’s being gentle with you, mom used to try and rip my hair out when she use to dry it" Riley stated
"Yeah. I remember Connor even cried once because he had something sticky that wouldn't come out of his hair and the towel got stuck" Grayson said with a laugh.
Connor scowled, "that did not happen".
“Y’all can dry your own hair from now on then” you grumbled as you started passing out plates to everyone.
You all laughed as Becca started to make crying noises at Connor as he shoved her off the couch. As you all continued to goof off another strike of lightning lit up the sky as the thunder sounded. You looked towards the blinds as Casey clutched herself onto Harry’s shirt.
"Shhh baby it's ok, you're safe" he whispered quietly as he wrapped his arms around her shaking frame and slowly brushed his hands through her hair. Your family served themselves dinner as Connor tucked Victoria inbetween him and Grayson as Rebecca took the love seat and Riley sprawled himself out on the floor.
"Im going to go change quickly and we'll do something fun when I get back, maybe I’ll play the new song I’ve been working on” Harry stated as he stood up and passed you Casey before grabbing a flashlight and walking upstairs.
You shift yourself on the recliner as you laid Casey in your arms while you rubbed her back. You could tell that she was going to fall asleep soon. You all laid around the room munching on nuggets as Becca discussed the soccer tournament she had gone to last week. You heard Harry’s footsteps as he walked into the room wearing one of the (Y/u) shirts he had bought for himself when you started dating. He loved showing you off and had practically bought half of the bookstore when he came to visit you on campus a couple of times.
“Surprised you brought McDonalds dad. Did mom have you in the dog house or something?” Connor asked, reminding you all of the health freak that Harry is.
“Hey I didn’t do anything yet. I figured I would give y’all a treat for not destroying the house today”
“Oh don’t play the hero H, the powers out so we can’t cook dinner. I figured we all deserved a little comfort food for the night” you replied back, sticking your tongue out at your husband as he rolled his eyes.
You got up from the recliner and placed the now sleeping Casey on the large beanbag in the corner of the room where you could keep an eye on her. Wrapping her up in a blanket you left her there to rest as you went to sit on Dylan's lap and cuddle under a blanket with him.
"They said that their won't be power till at least Sunday night" Grayson stated as he scrolled through his phone.
"Well I guess we're all camping out in here than for the night than. I call cuddling with mommy for the night" Harry said as he hugged your body tighter.
"Yes" Riley shouted as he started throwing pillows on the ground and grabbing blankets.
"Riley what the fuck are you doing" Connor questioned as he watched Riley run around.
"Making a pillow fort obviously" he replied. Grayson and Victoria jumped out of their seats to help with the fort.
"Well I guess we’ll all be be sleeping in a fort tonight" Connor replied as he got up to help them.
The rest of that night was spent building the fort while Harry played a couple of his new songs to everyone. Your kids all slept in the pillow fort just like when they were little as you cuddled up to Harry on the recliner and watched your not so little family spend some much needed time together.
“I love you baby, thank you for giving me them.” Harry whispered in your ear as he placed a chaste kiss on your forehead.
“I love you too H” you whispered back as you fell asleep surrounded by everyone you loved.
