~Chapter 23

Comments are always welcomed! :)


When Louis got to the small restaurant knowing they were going to have privacy, he turned the engine off then turned around to look at his sisters. Daisy and Phoebe seemed a bit calm except for Lottie whose hands were shaking a bit and when he reached to hold them in his, he found them a bit sweaty. Fizz seemed as nervous as Lottie and for a moment he thought about taking them back home where they felt safe.

"You don't have to meet him if you don't want to. He can wait." Louis said as he rubbed circles on the top of Lottie's hand with his thumb.

"We want to...at least I do." Lottie answered immediately getting nods from the other three.

"Alright, he should be there already. Let's go." Louis said taking a deep shaky breath as he got out of the car shutting the door after.

He locked the doors after his sisters huddled up around him then placed a hand over the twins shoulders with Lottie and Fizz walking next to him holding onto his arms. He let Daisy open the door getting greeted by a young woman with a cheerful smile.

"Hello, my name is Chelsea! Would you like a table or a booth?" She asked them.

"Aaron Tomlinson is waiting for us." Louis politely said.

"Right this way, please." She smiled before turning around to take them to where Aaron was.

Louis noticed him first, noticed the way he was bouncing his leg up and down and nervously played with the salt shaker putting it back in its place only to grab it again. As soon as he saw them he stopped what he was doing and stared unable to do anything else. His eyes settled in on the oldest two already filling with unshed tears then they flickered down to both Daisy and Phoebe and that's when he finally reacted.

He quickly got up and when they were close Louis gave him a quick hug letting his sisters sit down on one side of the table right in front of their dad while he took the seat at the head of the table. They ordered something to drink and minutes later after they were done ordering their food, it was quiet around them and the atmosphere a bit tense.

"So..." Louis started trying to break the silence surrounding them, "Umm, these are the twins Daisy and Phoebe. Girls this is...Aaron...dad..." Louis trailed off not really knowing how to introduce him as since he still had a bit of trouble calling him dad.

"Hi." Daisy, the bravest out of the two spoke up as she shyly waved at him.

"Hi." Aaron finally spoke up with a shaky voice as he observed them knowing how much he had missed, "Its nice to finally meet you and Phoebe."

"Is that all you have to say?" Lottie spoke up wearing a pained yet angry expression, "You leave us behind and that's all you have to say."

"I'm..I'm really sorry." Aaron said making sure to look her in the eyes.

"And when you come back you don't even bother calling us...you didn't even try even though we didn't want to see you." Fizz said finally gathering enough courage to acknowledge him, "You Should have tried no matter what, if you really wanted to see us, you should have tried."

"I promise all of you that I tried to go back and see you but your mother had moved and I never heard from you again until I saw Louis. I wanted to see you but he told me none of you wanted to see me and I respected your decision, I just wanted to give you space." Aaron explained hating when Lottie's eyes filled with tears that she was quick to wipe away.

That's when he realized he had hurt them way more than he thought, they weren't his little girls anymore.

"And you listened..." Lottie trailed off before she looked away then seconds later got up taking her bag with her followed by Fizz.

"We'll be right back..." Louis gave him a sad smile then got up to go after them taking the twins with him.

He followed them towards the bathroom and once he was outside he sent the twins inside to find out what was going on. He waited for a few minutes leaning against the wall and when they finally came out of the bathroom, Lottie's eyes as well as Fizz's, were swollen and red from all the crying and Louis could see most of their makeup was gone.

"Come here." Louis opened his arms hugging them as soon as they were in his hold.

"He's an asshole but I m- missed him." Lottie said trying not to cry again.

"We don't have to stay if you don't want to, just tell me and we'll leave." Louis rubbed her back then kissed the top of her head.

"We already ordered our food." Lottie hiccuped.

"It doesn't matter love, if you all want to leave then we'll leave. I'm not gonna make you stay." Louis reassured her as best as he could.

"I'll feel bad for leaving him...he left us but I'll feel bad. We can stay but...can we go see Ian after? We haven't seen him in forever." Lottie pulled back to wipe her nose with a tissue.

"Of course we can." Louis smiled, "Are you all ready to go back?" Louis asked and when they nodded they walked back seeing Aaron covering his face with his hands. He looked up when he heard the chair scraping against the floor and that's when Louis noticed how red his eyes were.

The rest of lunch was spent making small talk and soon Daisy and Phoebe started getting somehow comfortable around Aaron. Lottie ended up asking about Gavin and when Fizz shyly announced that she wanted to meet him since he wasn't the one to blame getting nods from her sisters, Aaron had promised to bring him some other day so they could meet him.

When they were finished eating, Louis hugged Aaron goodbye while his sisters only waved at him still not used to being near him. Louis knew they still had a long way to go and he was going to be there for them no matter what when they had stayed quiet the whole way back to his house. When they got there he noticed the garage door closing seeing a glimpse of Harry's shiny black truck.

"Looks like Harry and Ian just got home." Louis cheerfully said opening the door again with his remote control catching Harry about to walk inside the house.

He waited for him still holding onto the car seat then smiled when he noticed Louis wasn't alone, he glanced down to see Ian wide awake sucking on his pacifier and hugging his giraffe close to him. As soon as the girls were out of the car they rushed to greet him before Lottie took Ian and went inside with the rest trailing behind her closing the door after.

"How was it?" Harry asked wrapping an arm around Louis' waist as soon as he was in front of him.

"They had to take a little break after seeing him again but after that it went well. They want to meet Gavin and dad agreed to let them see him. Might have him coming here if you don't mind." Louis let him hug him feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"Of course I don't mind love, you can have him over whenever you want to." Harry kissed the side of his head never pulling away when the door opened and Fizz was yelling at them.

"Hey lovebirds! Ian pooped all over Lottie's arm, it's like a poop explosion in there and the poor diaper couldn't contain it." Fizz said before closing the door and going back inside.

Louis wanted to laugh as he walked inside and as soon as he saw Lottie holding Ian close even though he was a mess, Louis snorted and quickly took him to clean him up. Lottie immediately ran to the bathroom murmuring eww's after grabbing an extra package of Ian's wipes to clean it off then used as much soap and hot water as she could to clean it up and try and get the smell out. After they were both squeaky clean Louis placed Ian on the floor on top of his activity gym letting his sisters play with him and judging by Ian's first cute laughs, he was having fun when all the attention was on him.

He called his mother to let her know where they were then let his sisters spend the rest of the afternoon with Ian while they took a break trying to do many things at once. By the time it was time to drop them off, they said goodbye to Ian promising to come over some other day to spend time with them. When Louis got to his mum's house he gave her a long hug while telling her what had happened then ended up leaving a few minutes later.

When he got home he parked in their garage then furrowed his brows when he heard banging coming from the laundry room. When he opened the door he found Harry covered in soap and kicking the washing machine still holding onto it, he almost slipped when he walked in barely managing to hold onto Harry.

"Harry, what's going on? Where's Ian?" Louis asked.

"I was trying to wash Ian's clothes before they pile up even more and this stupid washer started overflowing then it stopped working. Its dead!" Harry finished with a sigh then his eyes wandered around the room seeing the piles of dirty clothes they still had to wash. "Oh, and Ian is in his playpen."

"You have got to be kidding me." Louis groaned.

"So what now?" Harry asked, "We have to wait until monday to get a new one and then it probably won't get delivered until the next day."

"There's a laundromat close by, if you want to we can go today." Louis suggested and when Harry nodded he took a step back to get everything ready, "I'm going to dry the floor then get Ian ready."

After drying the floor and getting everything ready including a sleepy Ian, they loaded everything in Louis' car then drove to the laundromat. When they got there, Louis had a sleeping Ian on his baby sling against his chest while holding a bag full of clothes in one hand and the other supporting Ian's head afraid of it rolling back even though it was secured. He could never be too sure and Ian was his life, it was instinct to want to protect his baby no matter what.

As soon as they were done putting them in the washers they sat down on the chairs in front of them just staring straight ahead as if the world was ending. Louis looked down when he felt Ian's hand moving then smiled and kissed the top of his head when he saw he was just trying to put his thumb in his mouth.

"I'm bored." Harry said with a heavy sigh watching the clothes spinning around.

"Same." Louis sighed then out of nowhere started smiling like a fool making Harry look at him with curiosity, "You proposed and everything but we never set a date for the actual wedding. We better have time to plan everything."

"When do you want to get married? A year from now...like our second anniversary date?" Harry asked already mentally planning a romantic dinner date for their first anniversary.

"Yeah, that sounds great. It will give us time and Ian will be old enough." Louis smiled then looked down to make sure Ian was doing okay.

He was still passed out never waking up once until the clothes were almost dry and that's when he opened his green eyes looking around in confusion. A few minutes passed by before he began to squirm only stopping as soon as Louis set him free placing him upside down on top of a folding table making sure to put a plush blanket underneath him. He lifted his little head up as well as his chest making them laugh when he started doing mini push ups mimicking Harry's expressions.

They folded laundry while watching Ian afraid of him falling off of the table and when they were done, Ian was too busy babbling to his giraffe completely ignoring his parents. Louis stayed behind making sure nothing was left behind and as soon as Harry was done putting everything in the car, Louis picked Ian up and made his way outside making sure to cover him with his blanket.

He chuckled when Ian lifted his little arms up trying to get the blanket off of him as he whined and squirmed until Louis set him down in his car seat then gave him his plush toy after buckling him up and a kiss on the tip of his nose. When they got home Louis made sure Ian was safe in his playpen before he started helping Harry bring all their clothes in then put them away not wanting to have piles everywhere.

He was still putting Ian's clothes away making sure to hang them not wanting them to wrinkle up when he heard Ian crying. He was fast to go and see what was wrong finding him just like he had left him, on his back with his giraffe next to him and his pacifier a few inches away from him.

"What's wrong, pumpkin?" Louis picked him up and kissed his cheek as he turned around to go to the kitchen seeing Harry already making a bottle. His eyes widened at the fact that he had forgotten it was time to feed him when he saw they were twenty minutes late.

"I got it babe." Harry said shaking the bottle to get rid of all the clumps.

"No wonder why he was crying his lungs out." Louis said giving him the baby after kissing him again then went back to finishing what he was doing.

By the time Ian was bathed and asleep in his crib, Harry and Louis barely had the energy to take a shower then went to bed falling asleep right away. They didn't wake up until the next day when Ian woke them up at five thirty in the morning wanting to eat, by then it was Louis who fed him letting him sleep with them after he was done.

The day of their anniversary which was that sunday, instead of demanding a big dinner or something even more fancy, Louis was happy with staying home that night and spending time with his family. They ended up having a movie marathon almost all day and by the middle of the night when their son was asleep in his bedroom without a care in the world, Harry made love to Louis enough times to leave them completely exhausted.

Monday morning Louis had a bit of trouble waking up on time to get Ian and himself ready ending up being a little late when Ian decided to spit up all over his outfit forcing Louis to change him again. Harry ended up leaving to work first kissing them goodbye and by the time Louis was finally sitting on his desk after dropping his son off, he took a deep breath then started working wanting to finish early. By the time it was almost lunch time he started getting distracted and getting worried out of nowhere not really knowing why until a frantic Gemma ran in about to burst into tears.

"Gemma, what's wrong?" Louis quickly stood up going to her.

"Liam called dad...it's Harry." Gemma managed to say before she started shaking managing to scare Louis already thinking the worst.

"What happened? Gemma what happened!?" Louis shouted, tears already filling his eyes.

"He's in the hospital, Liam said he went to get them lunch and someone hit his car when he was making a turn...t- they ran the red light." Gemma said in a shaky voice and that was enough to almost send Louis into a panic.

"He's okay, right?" Louis asked starting to get desperate when she didn't answer, "Gemma, he's okay right? Tell me he's okay."

"We don't know, Liam couldn't tell us." Gemma finally answered.

"Let's go, I have to see him." Louis grabbed his stuff and her hand then pulled her towards the door.

They each decided to take their cars if something else happened and the whole way there Louis couldn't stop thinking horrible things like Harry terribly injured or worse, dead. When he finally parked his car he rushed inside not even waiting for Gemma and Des, and after he was told where Harry was he didn't waste time going there. When the elevator opened on the right floor the first thing he saw was Liam sitting on a chair looking straight ahead looking up when Louis got closer.

"Where is he? Is he alright?" Louis asked starting to grow frustrated when Liam said nothing, "He's not dead, is he?" Louis whimpered.

"No! He's alive...when I got there he was unconscious then woke up during the ride here and threw up, said he was dizzy and nauseous. The doctor is with him right now." Liam explained.

"Oh thank god." Louis sighed in relief taking a seat next to him at the same time Gemma and Des walked out of the elevator.

"Is he okay?" Gemma asked before Des could even open his mouth.

"He was awake on the ride here, doctor's with him right now." Liam informed them.

"What exactly happened?" Des sat down on Liam's other side expecting an answer while Gemma took a seat next to Louis seeking comfort, she relaxed a bit as soon as Louis wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"It was his turn to go get lunch, I was watching him while he waited for the turn signal to turn green and...it happened so fast. He was in the middle of the intersection when this other car coming from the right ran the red light and hit him, sent his truck skidding all the way to the other side of the road. He shattered the window with his head, had glass all over his head." Liam's voice cracked at the end and his eyes filled with tears.

"It's okay, he's going to be okay." Des rubbed his back.

"I just got so scared, I thought he was badly injured. I mean, the firefighters had to force his door open and he was unconscious, I thought the worst." Liam said taking a deep breath at the end.

"It's going to be okay." Des wrapped his arm around him while Louis got up coming back with a water bottle for Liam.

Anne got there a few minutes later while Louis called his mum to explain what was going on and ask her if she could pick Ian up telling her she was on the list of people who could pick him up. He was starting to get desperate when the doctor was taking forever to come out and tell them what was going on. Just when he was about to get up and ask one of the nurses, a tall dark skinned doctor walked up to them asking for him.

"After doing a few tests to make sure everything's alright he only has a concussion, we're gonna keep him here until at least tomorrow morning to make sure it doesn't get worse. He can't remember the accident but that's normal." The doctor who had introduced himself as Dr. Torrence, informed them.

"How long do you think it's gonna take him to get better, for the concussion to go away?" Louis asked before anybody else could.

"Most people recover from a concussion in seven to ten days, but others, particularly young children, may not completely recover for weeks or even months. Everyone heals at different rates. Recovery may take longer since he's had a concussion in the past and most post-concussion symptoms such as headaches, sensitivity to noise and light, dizziness, fatigue, and memory problems go away within about 7-10 days after the injury like I said but sometimes post-concussion symptoms can last up to about 3 months. Rarely, symptoms last longer."

"Can we see him?" Anne asked.

"Yes but only one person per visit, we're trying to keep him calm and awake." Dr. Torrence said, "Too much noise can be a bit overwhelming at the moment."

"You go ahead and see him, honey." Anne smiled at Louis when he nodded.

Louis hurried to Harry's room after the doctor told him where he was and as soon as he was outside the door he walked in without even bothering to knock. Harry was quick to turn his head to the side to see who it was wincing as he did so then groaned as Louis rushed to his side.

"Hi babe." Louis whispered as soon as he was by his side not wanting to disturb him, "How are you feeling?" He asked as he ran his fingers through Harry's curls.

"My head hurts like a bitch and I can't remember what happened, it's as if my brain erased that memory. Doctor said it was caused by the concussion." Harry explained leaning into Louis' touch.

"You scared the hell out of all of us, you almost gave Liam a heart attack. He's in the waiting room with your parents and Gemma." Louis said then kissed his forehead seeing a smile on Harry's lips.

"Poor Liam. Is Ian at the daycare?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, my mum is gonna pick him and I'm gonna ask her if she can keep him for the night and drop him off tomorrow since they're gonna keep you here until tomorrow. I'm going to stay with you." Louis quickly said seeing Harry about to protest.

"You don't have to stay the night here, Lou. Ian needs you and I can stay on my own, or my mum can stay." Harry quickly said.

"No, I'm staying here. Period." Louis narrowed his eyes and that's when Harry shut up knowing he wasn't going to change his mind anytime soon.

"Okay, but when your mum calls you to tell you Ian won't go to sleep cause needs his midnight cuddle then don't say I didn't tell you so." Harry smiled while Louis got on the bed next to him and wrapped his arm over his chest then rested his head next to his.

"He loves nan Jay, and nana Anne too." Louis kissed Harry's cheek.

"He's going to be so spoiled, he already is around them." Harry said then yawned, "I'm tired, want to sleep." He mumbled.

"No, you can't sleep. Doctor said you have to stay awake, and you're going to stay awake." Louis raised his head and when Harry didn't open his eyes, he lightly slapped him.

"Stop it." Harry mumbled.

"Then wake up, you can't go to sleep." Louis insisted.

"M'tired."

"If you stay awake I'll blow you when we get home." Louis smirked when Harry wrapped his arm around him.

"And what else?" Harry smirked.

"That's it." Louis playfully rolled his eyes.

"I feel so tired out of nowhere...I think I'm gonna go to sleep." Harry closed his eyes feeling Louis shifting on the bed and soon he was sitting next to him.

"And when you get better we can fuck all you want, anywhere you want." Louis leaned down to kiss his lips, "Now stay awake."

"Well, if you put it like that then I can go a whole day and night without sleeping." Harry happily sighed only wincing when he felt slight pain on his head, "Do you think the nurse will give me something, my headache is getting worse."

"Let me ask them." Louis got up, kissed Harry again then walked out to look for a nurse.

When he came back, Harry was trying not to close his eyes and without saying anything swallowed the two pills Louis gave him. Almost an hour later Louis had to leave for a few minutes and call his mum while Liam visited, he ended up waiting outside to let the rest, including Niall and Zayn see him.

In the end it was Anne who ended up taking Ian home after she had gone to their house to pack a bag for her grandson thanking Louis for staying with her son. Louis was forced to sleep on the couch but in the middle of the night ended up sleeping on the bed next to Harry after the nurse had left.

The following day Harry was released from the hospital by noon and as soon as he had gotten home he had fallen asleep while Louis tried to stay quiet as much as he could. Louis had no choice but to leave him alone while he was still sleeping so he could go and pick Ian up from the daycare.

His almost four month old baby brightened up as soon as he had seen him having missed him and as soon as Louis had strapped him in in his car seat, he drove home stopping at a restaurant on his way there to buy food. When he got home Harry was still in bed already awake watching cartoons and as soon as he had seen Ian, he smiled and held out his arms for him.

"Daddy missed you, peanut." Harry cooed at Ian kissing both of his cheeks then his forehead making him smile.

"I got something to eat. Do you want to eat here or at the table?" Louis asked him watching the way Harry was holding Ian ending up with sitting him down on his lap with his tiny back against his chest.

"Can we eat here? I tried to get up to the bathroom while you were gone and I got so dizzy, barely made it there." Harry gave him a tiny smile playing with Ian's tiny fingers chuckling when his son tried to put them in his mouth.

"Oh love, sorry I left you alone. Good thing the asshole that hit you didn't get away with it. Can't believe he actually tried to blame you." Louis rolled his eyes getting angry just by remembering.

"Dumbass, now my car is totaled." Harry rested his head against the headboard then looked up at the ceiling.

He quickly looked back down at his son when he started wiggling then let out a loud wail until Louis picked him up knowing he needed a diaper change. He was glad he still had his bag there and after changing him and washing his hands, he got up to bring the food and a bottle for Ian.

Harry fed Ian then ate his food next to Louis while Ian was in between them on his tummy attempting to go after his giraffe whenever Louis would put it out of his reach. The first time, Ian had burst out crying out of frustration making Louis feel awful when he had looked up at him with wide and teary green eyes. As soon as Louis had given it back, he had hugged it close to him not letting go of it even once.

When they were done eating, Louis picked up all of their mess leaving Ian with Harry so they could spend time together after Harry hadn't seen him at all the day before. He smiled as he walked around the kitchen hearing his son's laugh followed by Harry's wondering what he was doing to make their son laugh like that.

As soon as Ian had turned four months old, Louis had childproofed the whole house not letting Harry help him since he was still getting a bit dizzy. He had gone back to working from home after talking to Des who agreed without even taking his time to think about it. Harry wasn't allowed to even go outside and two weeks after, the only places he had let him go to was to purchase a new washer and dryer and Ian's appointment for his next vaccinations.

Harry ended up riding in the backseat next to Ian to comfort him when their son kept crying and as soon as they were home, they took a nap together. That night they stayed up almost all night when Ian was running a high fever and wouldn't stop crying until Louis called his pediatrician then Christian for a second opinion. After giving him a small amount of medicine and plenty to drink, Ian calmed down falling asleep an hour later.

They let him sleep with them making sure not to cover him too much and by the next day, he was good as new as if nothing had happened. The only thing they noticed was how clingy he was wanting one of them to be holding him at all times and if he so much touched a flat surface, it was all crying at full volume until he was picked up again. They had blamed it on them having held him all the time the night before.

When he finally went down for a nap in his own crib, Louis was finally able to relax wanting to take a nap himself but couldn't when Harry was who knows where. He was still busy rinsing out Ian's bottles to put them in the dishwasher when he felt Harry's arms around his waist then his lips pressing against the back of his neck.

"Where were you?" Louis asked unable to fight back a smile.

"I was outside on the phone with Liam, he wanted to know how I was doing." Harry answered as he pressed kisses on the back of Louis' neck then his right shoulder.

"How's he doing?" Louis asked and when he was done he turned around still drying his hands, he then put the towel down on the countertop and wrapped his arms around Harry's neck.

"He's doing okay, Zayn was with him." Harry said before he kissed him not letting him respond.

Louis was quick to respond to the kiss feeling Harry's tongue prodding his lips until he let him in feeling his thigh in between his legs. Harry pushed him against the cabinets then grabbed him by the back of his thighs picking him up and making a run for their bedroom feeling Louis holding tight onto him as he nipped on the skin of his neck until he left small red marks behind.

Harry shut the door with his foot then slowly lowered Louis down on the bed kissing him again taking Louis by surprise who kissed back. He pulled back to take his shirt off followed by his sweatpants while all Louis could do was watch as he licked his lips. He sat up to take his own shirt off throwing it somewhere in the room somehow wanting to do things fast knowing they weren't going to have enough time before Ian was up again.

Soon they were naked with Harry's head in between Louis' thighs licking around his entrance and three fingers deep inside of him. When Louis was about to cum was when he finally made Harry stop and pulled him back up to kiss him then let him grab the lube and a condom. Harry was fast to put it on then slicked himself before he aligned himself against Louis' entrance.

He slowly entered him and when he was flushed against him, Harry stayed still until Louis urged him to move. He set a fast but steady pace thrusting in and out of him feeling Louis wrapping his legs around his waist. Harry started slowing down wanting to go slow until Louis rolled them around so he was on top using all the strength he had.

He started moving up and down then in eight figures getting louder the faster he went, and when Harry's cock brushed against his prostate he almost lost it. It only took a few more minutes before Harry was cumming into the condom with Louis following falling down on top of him trying to catch his breath.

It hadn't even been a full five minutes when they heard Ian's gurgles through the baby monitor and just when Louis was about to get up to go get him, Harry tightened his grip around him. Louis started getting uncomfortable and when Harry moved to get out of him, Louis relaxed again.

"Maybe he'll fall asleep again, didn't sleep that much last night." Louis mumbled against Harry's chest making sure to kiss it.

"Hopefully." Harry agreed.

When Ian went back to sleep on his own ten minutes later, so did Louis and Harry after mumbling their I love you's. They ended up sleeping through the whole night content in each other's arms.



Thoughts? :)

I apologized for the shitty smut lol.
