Harry's (POV)
I heard footsteps coming downstairs, when Louis called for his daughter. I look around the table, finding myself being fond with the kids. Louis' youngest son turns to me, smiling.

He's beautiful

"Hi! Call me J! What's your name?" He holds his hand out, smiling. I smile back at the cute toddler, named J, short for Joesph.

"Hi, I'm Harry. What a gentleman you are, sir." I greeted taking his small hand and joke with him.

"Hi Harry! I learned it from my papa." He says pretending to fix a bow tie. "Do you want to color with me?" He asks, bright blue eyes shining.

How could I deny?

"Yes of course, I love coloring." I reply. Joesph claps his hands, running off somewhere. I observe the toddler as he runs off, and smile fondly. I can't believe Louis has kids! It amazes me.

"Uncle Niall!" A high pitched voice greets. I turn my attention to a girl who runs over to Niall, hugging him and kisses his cheek. After she's done having small talk with the Irish lad, she looks up at Liam and I smiling sweetly.

"Hi, I'm Darcy!" She introduced herself waving.

"I'm Liam, and this is Harry. It's nice to meet you." Liam spoke. I wave back at Louis' daughter, seeing so much of Louis in her. She sits down across from me, Niall in between the two older siblings.

I feel a small tap on my shoulder and turn around, seeing Joesph with a box crayons and white paper in his hands. I help the kid out, placing the supplies on the table. "Let's color!" He giggles.

"What do you want me to color kiddo? I am quite the artist." Joesph hums, tapping his chin and squinting his eyes, thinking.

"A Minecraft creeper, and enderman. Do you play Minecraft?" He asks, dumping out crayons on the table.

"Joesph, let Harry be baby, okay? He's a guest. He shouldn't have to do anything with you." Louis says sternly, taking a seat next to me.

"It's fine Lou. Really." I assured him, smiling. I turn my attention back to Joseph. "I play Minecraft, who doesn't? I love it. Who's your favorite character?" I quizz, getting to know the toddler as he sorts the colors.

Niall and Noah quiet down, and everyone else at the table is watching Joseph and I interact. "My favorite character is enderman! How about yours Haz?" He asks sweetly, grabbing purple and black crayons.

"Mine is a enderman too! They are pretty cool, but they scare me too." I pouted. Joseph laughs, looking at me and pointing.

"You're a scaredy cat, but they are scary!" He exclaims

"Am I really?" I joked with him, starting to color with him on the same paper.

"Who are you?" I heard Noah speak up. I look up from the paper, to see who he was talking to. Noah is talking to me, and in my peripheral vision I noticed that Louis' smile faded. "Yeah, you Harry." He says.

"Oh, umm-"

"Noah, why does it matter? He's a friend. Just like Liam." Louis stuck up for me. Noah narrows his eyes at me, now starting to glare. "Stop being rude please."

"I doubt that." He snarled and went back to the paperwork. Him and Niall start talking again, and Liam gets involved in the conversation. I go back to coloring with Louis' younger kid.

"Hey baby, your dad is calling." Louis says and passes his phone across the table to Joseph. The toddler happily takes it, smiling when he presses the green button, and holds the device to his ear.

"Hi daddy!" He says giggling a bit.

Daddy?

"I made a apple with caramel all over it!" Joesph says, his smile going away by the second. "Oh okay daddy. Bye, I love yo-" Joseph pulls the phone away from his ear. "He hung up." He says, giving the phone back to Louis. Joseph goes back to coloring with me, not talking as much.

Louis sighs, putting his phone down on the table. I rest my hand on his knee. "You okay, love?" I notice how Louis looks down at my hand, and he shivers a bit. "Lou?"

"Just fine." He spoke, making strong eye contact.
I noticed how his pupils dilate. "Are you okay?" He returned the question, glancing at my lips.

I remove my hand away from his knee. "Yes I am." I spoke lowly, smirking, knowing exactly what I'm doing. "So Joseph, tell me your favorite color?" I turn my attention towards the toddler.

"Hmm green!"

*~*

Niall, Liam, and I stayed for a few hours. I got to know Joseph and Darcy a bit. It was easy talking to them. Earlier, all the kids went upstairs to go be on their devices.

It was the adults downstairs, talking.

Louis and I were in the kitchen cleaning, I insisted. "Seems like you're Joesph's best friend." Louis says, smiling at me. "And Darcy seems to take a liking in you."

"Really?" Louis nods. "So tell me why you didn't have kids before? You have a beautiful family." I complimented, drying the clean dishes with a towel.

"It's because when something goes good with someone, and I trust them, I tell them about my kids, but they always leave because they don't want to be around that. So I guess you could say I was a bit nervous telling you about my kids. Didn't want you to run away." Louis explained.

"Oh." I said. "Well fuck them. They don't deserve to be around your kids anyways. You're kids are amazing. I'm happy I met them today. They're cool. I love kids." I tell Louis, making sure he knows I'm serious.

"Thank you Harry. So you don't mind kids?" He asks. I shake my head in response. "Okay, good."

"So, this means you can get-"

"Liam and I are gonna head out Lou. Thank you for having us over." Niall interrupts and hugs Louis, kissing his cheek. "Yeah, thank you Louis." Liam says, waving.

"Bye Li, bye Niall." They both walk out, leaving Louis and I alone. Louis' phone goes off, indicating that someone is calling him.

Louis rolls his eyes, answering his phone. "What?" He says. "No, I have the kids for this weekend. Obviously you couldn't handle them last weekend." Louis informs the other person on the line.

"Okay, yeah, bye, fuck you too." Louis slams his phone down on the counter. "Fucking asshole." He grumbles.

"What's wrong? How come every time you pick up the phone, you're always upset?" I asked, laughing a bit.

Louis smiles. "Yeah, I noticed that too. It's just my ex boyfriend. Aka, my baby daddy. Before you ask,
no I am not getting back with him. Never ever. He's dick face, and I decided to have kids with him." Louis says in shame, shrugging.

"Why'd you guys break up?" I question.

"Not your business." I turned around to see Noah sitting on the barstools, looking between Louis and I. "You should stay out of my dad's business." Noah threatens.

"Noah, go upstairs.." Louis says quietly.

"Why are you trying to take over my dad's spot? You're just another pretty boy my dad brought home. You're a nothing." Noah snarled.

"Noah, what is it with you?! Harry is just a friend! And your father will always be your father! That will not ever change! Go upstairs!" Louis yells.

Noah rolls his eyes and hops off from the barstool chair, stomping off upstairs. "I have no clue what's up with my kids lately. Darcy has been really distant with us, Joesph recently threw a fit for his dad, and now Noah?" Louis rubs his temples, obviously stressed out.

"Well love, maybe Darcy needs space. She's a teenager, right? She looks like one. Anyways, teens need time to themselves too. About Noah? I don't know much, and there's nothing I can say honey." I explained to Louis.

"Maybe you're right. Thank you." Louis sighs again, walking over to me, wrapping his arms around my neck. "And she is a teenager by the way."

I wrap my arms around his curvy waist. "Always Lou." I told him, slowing pulling away from the embrace. Louis and I look at each other for a bit, before leaning in.

Our lips almost touch, but-

"Dad, can you check on Noah? He's really upset, I dunno what's wrong." Louis immediately pulls away from me, leaning over the counter, trying to act normal. Darcy stands there, her face face full of concern.

"Yeah, sure." He says, jogging out of the kitchen going upstairs.

"So..?" Darcy smirks.
