"Nice to see you again, Louis."

Louis hesitantly turns around. "N-No." He shook his head immediately. Louis turns back around and runs down the steps carefully.

He stops in his tracks when he sees Eric standing in front of Darcy, his gun to her head. Darcy screamed but they were muffled. Harry was desperately trying to free himself but failed miserably.

"One move and I will not hesitate to shoot your daughter." Eric growls.

Louis stayed still, tears started streaming down his face when the heavy footsteps behind him were coming down the steps. Closer and closer by each second. Louis shivers when he felt a breath by his ear.

"Hello my dearest son."

Louis wanted to throw up, his worst nightmare was in front and behind him. "Father." Louis squeaked. Troy took slow steps to stand in front of the blue eyed man, he looks down at the babies in Louis' arms and smirks.

"What do we have here hm?" Troy hums, picking his hand up to stroke Owen's cheek with his finger.

"Don't you dare fucking touch my sons you sick son of a bitch!" Harry yelled, still trying to break free from the duct tape he was stuck to.

Troy's smirk turned into a smile. He lifts up both hands to grab at Owen in Louis' arm and Sage. The blue eyed man didn't fight him on it, he just let Troy take them.

"Give them back, please." Louis pleaded quietly. Troy only shook his head and walked away from Louis to sit down next to Noah, who was finally starting to move around.

"Don't you think about it, Louis." Eric pushed his gun against Darcy's forehead when he saw Louis' eyes wondering to the kitchen.

"Your boys are quiet Louis." Troy observed. The man put Sage and Owen down on the couch. Owen started fussing, not wanting to be put down.

"Where's Joesph?" Troy pulled out a gun from his back and aimed it at Louis. "Tell me where your fucking son is now or else I will kill your boyfriend."

Louis let his tears that were forming in his eyes fall down on his cheek. "H-How did you find us?" He questions with a shaky voice.

"If you don't tell me where-"

"How did you find us?!" Louis shouted over Owen's cries, which caused Sage to cry out. Louis jumps from the sudden sound of a gunshot and falls to the ground whimpering in pain.

Louis looked down at his leg, he could feel a sharp pain there. He lightly touched the wound and looked at his finger, he got shot. "Fuck you!" Louis growled, attempting to stand up but failed.

"Why don't you thank your baby daddy, darling boy? He's right behind you." Eric spoke. Louis didn't have to look up at him, he could feel the smirk in his voice, if that made sense.

The blue eyed man whips his head around and sure enough, Jake was standing right behind him with his eyes fearful. "Dad, you took this too far. You promised you wouldn't hurt anyone." Jake says.

"Y-You did this.." Louis whispers, sounding more like a statement than a question.

Jake got on his knees in front of Louis, examining his leg where he got shot. The blue eyed man kicked him causing Jake to demand that he stops moving.

"When I said I will come back one day I meant it. Why didn't you believe me, darling boy?" Eric pouts.

"You're fucking crazy! Stop touching me!" Louis yelled pushing Jake away from him. "You got us in this mess, you fuck-"

"I didn't know they'd take it this far!" Jake replies, finally taking his hands off of Louis. Louis was about to comment back but the only thing that came out of his mouth was a loud cry, his leg hurting badly.

"Tell us where Joesph is, Louis." Troy chimes in. He was swaying his gun around carelessly while the babies screamed their heads off.

"Why would I do that? I'd rather you kill me than let you know where my son's whereabouts are at." Louis snarled back.

Troy and Eric meet eyes, the both of them communicating quietly. Louis panics when Troy points the gun in Harry's direction. "Lou! I love you baby so much." Harry cried out.

Louis shook his head. "No! No please!" He pleaded. Troy smirks and pulls the trigger causing Harry to fall over. Louis' heart stopped for a moment. He examined Harry's body and realized that he got grazed by the bullet .

Louis let's out a breath of relief, realizing Harry is still alive. Troy strolled over to Louis, pulling him by his hair. "Where the fuck is Joesph?" He asked once more. The blue eyed man kept his mouth shut, not a word was spoken.

"You can go fuck yourself." Louis says. Troy leans down, wrapping his hand around Louis' throat tightly causing him to loose his breath. The world around him became blurry, he can hear the screams from Darcy, the loud cried from his baby boys, and Harry's weak pleas.

Air was stolen from Louis' lungs, he wasn't able to breathe properly. Just as he thought it was the end, Troy was shoved off of Louis. Once the hand was off his throat he took in deep rapid breaths. He looks up, seeing Jake on top of Troy, punching him.

Louis used all his strength to get up and crawl to the two men fighting. Louis pulled the pocket knife from his pocket and handed it to Jake who took it immediately. He repeatedly stabbed the man Louis called his father.

When Jake had enough, he looks at Louis in the eyes. Jake smiled, sincerely, a smile Louis hadn't seen in years. The smile that Louis fell in love with all those years back. The blue eyed man returned the smile but he looked in the direction of Eric when he heard small 'click' sounds.

Everything was in slow motion from there.

Louis' eyes widen, realizing what was going on but it was already too late. Before he knew it, Jake fell to the ground taking his last breath, once in for all. A pool of blood was already forming around him, his hand going limp barely holding the weapon.

"No!" Louis screamed as loud as he could. He used his forearms and upper body strength to crawl to Jake. The man's eyes were still open but when Louis leaned down to hear for a heartbeat, there was nothing. "No!"

Louis pounded his fist on Jake's chest, the other hand is on the floor holding himself up. The blood started getting on Louis' hand and shirt. He plants his face in Jake's chest, screaming in anger.

Three shots took him out.

"That's what fucking happens when you make a move we don't like." Troy says coughing up blood from his mouth.

Louis stayed still though, crying his heart out. He could hear Noah thrashing around, yelling into the duct tape that covered his mouth tightly. He witnessed his father get shot, the man he idolized, the man he thought he loved so much.

"Troy?" Louis lifts his head up from Jake's chest, seeing Eric leaning down with concerned eyes seeing his friend's state. Eric poked at Troy's body, when he didn't get a response, Eric's eyes met Louis'.

"Y-You killed your own son..." Louis states with tears streaming down his face.

Eric stared at Louis with cold, hard eyes. "He killed my best friend." Eric replies.

Louis let's out a bitter laugh and lays his head down on Jake's chest. "You turned him into a monster. He was a great young man before you broke him. My Jake was the happiest. Even happier when we found out about Noah and his brother..." Louis says.

Darcy and Noah were listening carefully as they hear Louis speak. Harry on the other hand was rubbing the duct tape against the loveseat he crawled to when Eric had his back turned to him. There was a small staple sticking out from the loveseat, Harry decided it was the next best thing.

"He was ecstatic about our baby boys even though he knew his life was going to change forever. After our Noah was born he kissed his baby's bloody head and he didn't care. He loved his son unconditionally. But when our other son wasn't responding, he was heartbroken. We worked through it all and at the end of the day, he held Noah tight, too scared to let him go." Louis spoke.

Harry was praying that the constant movement was breaking the duct tape while Louis was telling his story, some things Harry had never heard before.

"But you changed that. You changed my Jake into a monster.." Louis cried again.

Eric shook his head. "No I-"

"You blamed our baby's death on him and it hurt him! You broke him!" Louis shouted weakly. "He was getting through it but you had to put him down constantly, always beating him for the death of our son!" He cried out.

Harry's eyes widen when he was free from the tape that was wrapped around his wrists. He looks at Sage and Owen, the two babies were underneath a blanket. Harry quietly crawls to the couch, lifting the blanket up. He furrows his eyebrows seeing white earplugs in their ears. He removed the blanket from their faces so they can breathe.

The curly haired man started to unwrap the duct tape off of Noah's ankles, then his hands. The teenage boy helps his little sister out, the three of them were free but they stayed hidden behind the couch to avoid being seen.

Eric's back was facing them, him and Louis were by the stairs along with the two lifeless bodies. Harry frantically looked around for something to kill the crazy man in their house.

"He loved me and my son so much but you did so much emotional, mental, and physical damage to your poor son. All he needed was a father but obviously you're too much of a pussy to act like one." Louis chuckles darkly.

Eric bites down on his lip harshly, slowly lifting his arm up. He held the gun tightly, his hand shaking aggressively. Before he could pull the trigger a loud, very manly growl was heard.

The two turn around only to see Noah charging at Eric. He tackled the older man to the ground and started pouncing on him, like a predator would do to their prey. Harry turned to Darcy, holding the crying girl in his chest.

"You killed him!" Noah shouted as he continue to beat the life out of Eric, the older man was becoming weak not able to hit back. Louis reached over to grab the gun that was in Eric's hand, when he had it in his possession, he aimed it at Eric's face.

"Goodbye motherfucker."

Louis shot Eric in the head, his body limp and dead right next to Troy's body in seconds. Louis dropped the gun when he realized what he did. Noah was straddling Eric, still punching him even though the man is dead. Blood was now all around them, Louis stayed in the same spot though, not caring.

He held on tightly to Jake and cried. Before he died, Louis got a glimpse of the real Jake Greyson Miller. The young broken boy.

Greyson was the baby's name before he became an angel, only having one minute on earth.

"I'm so sorry..." Louis wailed. "You take care of our son and you tell him I love him, okay? I forgive you. You will always hold a special place in my heart even though you weren't a good man for the past years to me or my babies." He whispers.

The blue eyed man used his good leg to stand up and walk between where Harry and Darcy were cuddled up together and Noah who was moving away from Eric. The family cried together from the tragic event they just experienced.

They all sighed in relief when they heard faint sirens on the way. Louis mentally cheered for his baby, proud of Joesph for being so brave.

Louis then closes his eyes and falls back, his leg was numb from where he had gotten shot. "Louis!"
