The next day when Louis wakes up Zayn and Alex are playing on the living room. He almost jumps off the bed when he feel an empty spot in the bed. He sits up and looks around; remembering they're at Zayn's flat. He gets out of the bed and walk to the living room. He says hi to Zayn and Alex on his way to the half bathroom. He brushes his hair and teeth; he stares at his reflection in the mirror. He doesn't recognize the man in the mirror; he stares at it, examining him but that's not how he remember himself. He remembers being the funny guy who always made people laugh; he remembers the blast he used to have with Zayn whenever they were partying.

"Louis!" Zayn knocks on the door. "Are you okay?"

"Er ... Yeah I'm just brushing my hair and teeth." Louis turns the water.

"Okay, breakfast is ready."

"Okay, thank you." Louis pours cold water in his face. He looks at himself in the mirror again; trying to find the old Louis. When he gets tired of looking at his reflection he gets out of the half bathroom.

"Papa!" Alex says clapping when he sees Louis coming out of the bathroom.

"Hey little angel." Louis walks to his high chair and hugs him. "Did you have a good night night?"

"Yes," He giggles. "bed comfy."

"Where's Baylor?" Louis asks looking around.

"The curly black fluffy thing is under the table." Zayn says pointing at the table.

"Her name is Baylor." Louis rolls his eyes. "Come on baby." Baylor comes out and Louis picks her up. She licks his face and Zayn makes a disgusted noise. "What?"

"Nothing." Zayn shrugs.

"Do you know any good lawyer?" Louis asks. "I know you have been waiting for me to dump George and I know you have to have a good lawyer in mind who can help me." He puts Baylor in the floor again.

"Of course I do." Zayn laughs. "David Morgan is ready to meet you whenever you are."

"What about today?" Louis asks; sitting next to Alex.

"Today?" Zayn asks surprised.

"Yes, the sooner the better." Louis starts eating his breakfast.

"Sure, let me call him and see if he can see us today."

"Thank you, Zee." Louis smiles at him.

"You're welcome."

3 hours later Zayn, Alex, Baylor and Louis go to Mr. David Morgan office, according to Zayn he is one of the best lawyers in London.

"Mr. Morgan is ready to see you." Mr. Morgan's secretary informs them.

The three of them walk into the office; Zayn and Louis sits in front of Mr. Morgan's desk and Alex sits in Louis' laps.

"Nice to finally meet you Mr. Woods." Mr. Morgan smiles at him. "Hi Zayn."

"Call me Louis." Louis smiles at him.

"Okay, hey little one." He smiles at Alex. "What's your name?"

"Alex." He giggles.

"That's a beautiful name." Mr. Morgan smiles at him. "Are you sure you want to talk about it with him in the room?"

"Yes, he doesn't understand most of the things we're going to talk about." Louis says caressing Alex's hair.

"Okay, so explain it to me." Mr. Morgan begins. "Zayn has told me about it but I need to know about from your point of you."

"If you want I can play with him." Zayn offers; talking Alex from Louis' laps.

"Okay, thank you." Louis smiles. "Everything started after Alex was born, he used to beat me on a daily basis." He sighs. "Time passed by and I learned what I didn't suppose to do so the beatings decreased." He closes his eyes; trying to get rid of the image. "He never stop, he just ... He just didn't do it so often."

"And that's why you want the divorce?"

"No," Louis' eyes get watery. "4 months ago he asked me to have another baby and I agreed; everything was fine and I got pregnant." He wipes the tears off his cheeks. "He beat me really bad four days ago, I had to go to the ER but I was too late." He says in between sobs. "I lost her."

"I'm sorry for your lost." Mr. Morgan says in a polite tone.

"It's that enough to get the divorce and Alex's full custody?"

"Yes, but it's not going to be easy." He gives him a weak smile. "The divorce is going to be easy because we're going to ask it for domestic violence, but Alex's custody is going to be the hardest part of this."

"Why?" Louis asks confused. "He's an abusive husband."

"Has he ever hurt Alex?"

"No," Louis shakes his head.

"I'm sorry to break this news to you but they'll give George part of his custody..."

"WHY!?" Louis screams; scaring Alex. "I mean he's in a abusive person."

"Yes he is but he has never hurt Alex and for what you and Zayn had told me every time you told him you would leave him he said you would have do it without Alex." He sighs. "He knows what's he's doing; all this years he knew he wasn't going to keep you forever so he never hurt Alex because when this day comes the judge isn't going have proof that he's violent with Alex so they will give him part of the custody even if it's just 15% of it."

"15%?" Louis asks curious. "What he can do with that?"

"Alex can see him once a month; a full weekend...."

"Alone?" Louis interrupts him.

"No, you or a member of your family has to be there with them."

"I don't want to have anything to do with him after the divorce." Louis whispers.

"You have a child together..."

"We'd had two children if George hadn't made me lose the second one by beating me." Louis says in between hiccups.

"I know Louis, but that doesn't mean he's a bad dad...."

"I'm not saying he's a bad dad, he's a violent person and I'm afraid after the divorce he's going to get even by hurting Alex." Louis interrupts him.

"I know, bur there's no way to prove that."

"So that everything you can do about it?" Louis asks in a upset tone.

"Not just me, every single lawyer in London." Mr. Morgan says trying to stay calm.

"Okay, how soon can we start filling up the divorce and custody papers?"

"Tomorrow, I need to write the divorce statement and the request for the custody and you can come back and sign it."

"Okay, what time?"

"10 am."

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Louis stands up from his seat. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, see you tomorrow."

Zayn says bye to Mr. Morgan and they leave to the park. They promised Alex to take him there after. Baylor is waiting on the car and when she sees them she starts barking. When Louis buckles Alex up, Baylor sits next to him and licks his face.

"He's going to get sick if she doesn't stop." Zayn says; looking at Alex and Baylor through his rear mirror.

"Baylor is not sick, Harry told me." Louis rolls his eyes.

"Harry as the sexy curly haired guy from the park where we're going right now?" Zayn smirks at him.

"Yes, him." Louis sighs. "He volunteers at the shelter we went to." He shrugs.

"Oh and what else did he said about Baylor?"

"You idiot!" Louis hits him in the head.

"No! Bad Papa!"Alex says with a pout in his face. "Give uncle Zazu a boo boo is a big no no."

Zayn smirks at him again.

"I'm sorry baby." Louis apologizes to Alex; flipping Zayn through the mirror.

When they get to the park Louis unbuckles Alex and picks him up. Zayn helps him with Baylor and the nappy bag. Alex is jumping up and down in Louis' arms; excited to finally be back in the park again.

"Papa play please?" He says pointing at the playground. "Down please."

Louis puts him on his feet and Baylor runs to him. Alex picks (he tries to) her up, letting her to leak him. Louis smiles at the image; he realizes Alex is his light in the darkness.

"'Ally!" Alex screams; making Louis' heart beat fast.

"Hey little guy!" He hears his voice which forms a smile on his face.

Alex and Baylor run to Harry; Alex hugs him meanwhile Baylor lays on her back to let Harry caresses her belly.

"They love him." Zayn says out of the blue.

"What?" Louis pretends he doesn't know what Zayn's talking about.

"Look at them; they love Harry." Zayn says looking at them.

"He's a good person." Louis whispers; playing nervously with his fingers.

"And on top of that he's damn sexy." Zayn says biting his bottom lip.

"Zayn!" Louis gasps.

"I see the way he looks at you." Zayn shrugs.

"Whatever." Louis rolls his eyes.

"Uncle Zazu play please?"Alex says; making grabby hands to him.

"Good luck." Louis says in a mocking tone.

Harry takes a deep breath as he sits on the benches in font of the playground.

"It was just 3 minutes." Louis says as he sits next to him.

"I know but they're brutal when it comes to the park." Harry says trying to even his breath.

"Cry baby." Louis laughs.

Harry laughs. "How are you? I haven't see you in a few days."

"Yeah," Louis sighs. "I've been busy."

"Oh." Harry pauses. "Are you okay though?"

"Yeah, why?" Louis lies.

"I notice something different in your eyes; the brightness they used to have before is gone." Harry pauses to let Louis talk but he doesn't. "Sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable but I just want to know if you're okay."

"I lost her." Louis says in a barely audible whisper; rubbing his belly.

"Oh dear!" Harry sighs. "I am so sorry, Louis." Harry's eyes begins to get watery. "I'm sorry for you lost." He says in a sincere tone.

"Thank you." Louis looks at him. "Are you crying?"

"No," He wipes the tears off his eyes. "Yes, but shh!"

Louis' heart swells in adoration; nobody has ever show him so much compassion for him. He doesn't want to call it pity because he can tell the difference between it. He feels a hole in his stomach; not one of those where you're nervous and feeling sick but in a good way. Harry stares at him for a few seconds; making Louis a little bit insecure.

"Why are you looking at me that way?" Louis asks in a curious tone.

"You're a warrior with a broken armor, but still you don't give up." Harry smiles at him with tears running down his cheeks. "You're a beautiful angel that has forgotten how to fly, but that doesn't mean you've stopped trying."

"Harry ..."

"I admire you, Louis." Harry whispers. "You deserve everything beautiful in life; you deserve the whole world at your feet." He caresses Louis' cheek.

They stay like that for minutes; staring at each other until Zayn comes breathless to the benches.

"Are you okay?" Louis asks; trying to hold in his laugh.

"Those two monsters almost killed me." Zayn says in a terrified.

"Don't call my little angel that." Louis laughs at Zayn's face expression.

"Your turn curly." Zayn says to Harry. "They're not even flinching which mean they're not done yet."

"Okay." Harry smiles; making his way to the playground.

"What did he told you?" Zayn asks as soon as Harry was far away from him.

"Huh?"

"Your eyes are watery; what were you talking about?" Zayn explains.

"Oh, we were talking about Alex." Louis lies, "You know how I get when I talk about my precious little angel."

_

2 hours later Louis, a sleepy Alex, a thirsty Baylor and a tired Zayn are back in the parking lots of Zayn's flat. Louis unbuckles Alex and carries him in his arms and like before Zayn gets Baylor and the nappy bag. They're walking to the flat when they see George standing at the front door. He walks to Louis and George but Zayn comes in between them.

"You need to come back home." George says and they can smell the alcohol in his breath.

"Stay away from them." Zayn says protecting Louis and Alex with his body.

"You need to go home where you supposed to be." George stop for a second trying to steady himself. "You, little guy inside, Alex and I...."

"It was a girl." Louis says in a angry tone.

"A girl?" George screams; scaring Alex.

"Monster, why don't you go inside and play with Baylor? You can feed the fishes too." Zayn says; making Louis to walk with him to the door.

Alex and Baylor gets into the flat and Zayn stays with Louis. George looks at them; noticing how Louis keeps his hands on his belly.

"A girl?" George asks again.

"Yes, it was a girl." Louis screams. "I lost her when you beat me up four days ago, remember?"

"It's your fault! It's your fucking fault it was a girl! It's your fucking fault you lost her because you're an useless piece of shit who can keep a fucking thing in his miserable life!"

"That's enough man!" Zayn says; pushing him away from Louis. "I know at your home he didn't have anybody to protect him but here." He says looking around. "You're in my kingdom and I'll not hesitate to return you one of the many beatings you had given to Louis right now."

"Zee, don't." Louis whispers.

"Papa! Uncle Zazu!" Alex screams from inside the flat.

"It's okay little monster, it's okay." Zayn says. "Get lost!"

"I'm not leaving without my family."

"You lost them the minute you beat Louis again 4 days ago and don't be surprised when you receive a divorce notification in a few days!" Zayn opens the door; making Louis to walk inside.

"Thank you." He whispers once they're in the living room.

"You're welcome." Zayn smiles. "He only hurt you because I didn't know in time to stop him, but never again."

"I'm sorry ..."

"No," Zayn stops him. "It's not your fault, you were scared." He hugs him.

"Thank you."

"I want cuddle, too." Alex says walking from the half bathroom.

"Come and cuddle me then."

Louis opens his arms to hug him and for the first time in a while he feels safe.
