Louis had flatlined once again and this time, there was no going back and nothing they could do.

Harry could feel Louis' warm body against his own where they lay in the warmth of the blankets in his bed. He snaked his arm around Louis' waist placing his palm right on his baby bump feeling the small flutters knowing how active their son was in the mornings. He placed a small kiss on the nape of Louis' neck letting his lips linger for a few seconds then moved away when Louis stirred.

"What time s'it?" Louis asked, his voice sounding raspy from the lack of use as he moved closer to Harry wanting the warmth he could provide.

"Six...go back to sleep, both of you." Harry answered pulling Louis closer to him as much as he could rubbing circles on the front of Louis' four month pregnant belly feeling the tiny flutters lessening until they completely stopped.

"Love you forever..." Louis said letting out a tiny giggle at the end that made Harry's heart flutter with so much love for the smaller boy in his arms.

"And ever." Harry said kissing the back of Louis' head one more time before both of them fell asleep.

"Huard! Get the defibrillator ready, increase t-" Harry rushed out grabbing the paddles but was stopped by Mark.

"Harry! Harry stop!" Mark nearly shouted when Harry kept trying to pull away, "Son...there's nothing else we can do. He's gone, he-"

"No! I- I promised Blake! I promised him!" Harry pushed him away and when Mark didn't try to stop him again, he gave out orders using greater force to apply the shocks after a nurse had removed the oxygen mask and the blankets.

With each time he tried to revive him, the more he was starting to lose hope until he didn't have to keep trying anymore. The steady beeps suddenly filled the room with the monitor showing his heartbeat quickly stabilizing until they were constant and even. All they did was stand there staring at the monitor then the miracle laying on the table until Harry reacted putting the paddles away before making his way back to Louis and placed the oxygen mask and blankets back on him.

He could see his chest slowly rising and falling then slowly raised his hand finally caressing his cheek finding it warm and the skin still as soft as ever. Even softer than silk itself. Without any warning whatsoever, he burst out crying right then and there not caring who was watching him. All he could do was stare at Louis then leaned down to kiss his forehead finding it a bit on the cool side knowing that soon he was going to warm up.

"Lou..." He whispered grabbing his hand in his unable to wait for the day where he would hold it back just as tight as he was holding it.

He noticed the rest of the team exiting the room including Mark leaving him alone with Louis whose heartbeat was already beating like it should, like it should have never stopped doing. He started running his fingers through his almost dry hair taking in the way Louis' lips were starting to turn a bit rosy and how he wasn't as pale as before. He still looked the same as the last time he had seen him wondering how Louis was going to react to him once he woke up and saw him.

"I missed you so much, love. You have no idea how many times I dreamed about this day." Harry started crying again kissing his forehead one more time before he pulled away and called a few nurses over to get him ready and take him to a recovery room.

Once he was there and well taken care of by qualified medical staff, Harry set out to find Mark doing so in his office later that day. He walked in after knocking and hearing a come in seeing Mark sitting on a chair by his desk reading over a file who Harry assumed was Louis'. He watched him taking in how red his eyes were probably after having had a good cry just like he had had a few minutes ago.

"Now all we have to do is wait until he wakes up." Mark said snapping Harry out of his thoughts, "We have to be patient since his body needs to adjust."

"When are we going to tell everybody? I'm assuming you're going to tell Jay soon." Harry took a seat on the couch.

"I actually called her half an hour ago and she's on her way. You can choose when we tell the rest, I'm assuming you'll want to wait to tell Blake until Louis wakes up." Mark finally made eye contact not even bothering to hide that he had been crying. Why would he when his son was finally alive again.

"I'll tell everybody else as soon as possible but not Blake, I don't want him to see him like that. He'll be meeting him for the first time and I want Louis to be awake when that happens." Harry informed him seeing Mark nodding in agreement.

"I think it's for the be-" Mark started getting interrupted by a knock on the door then Jay walked in looking as confused as ever.

"What's going on?" Jay asked seeing the two men who looked like they had been crying until Mark got up.

"I- I think it's best if you see it." Mark said motioning for Harry to follow them.

Mark wrapped his arm around Jay's waist with Harry walking next to them and the closer they got, the more nervous Harry was getting not knowing how Jay was going to react. When they finally made it there they had to be sterilized then Harry was the first to walk in per Mark's request seeing Louis looking the same with an oxygen mask over his face. He was wearing a new hospital gown and was covered up to his chest with a few blankets to keep him warm.

He didn't realize he had been standing there for a while just watching Louis until the door opened again making him turn around seeing Jay making his way inside with Mark following. As soon as her gaze settled on Louis and the beeping sound reached her ears, she brought both her hands over her mouth and let out a muffled sob taking a step back.

"We unfroze him this morning and Harry managed to bring him back. He's alive Jay, our son is finally alive again." Mark placed his hands on her shoulders seeing her taking a step forward.

"Lou...baby." Jay started crying harder not knowing if it was a good idea to get closer to him or just stay where she was.

"He's responding well to treatment. Now all we have to do is wait until he wakes up." Harry told her moving out of the way so Jay could get closer to him.

His eyes filled with tears the moment Jay rushed to him taking his hand in hers then kissed it as she cried only getting louder. To her if felt as if time had never passed seeing her still eighteen year old son finally alive again after nine painful years.

She took a seat on a chair still holding his hand then hid her face on his stomach unable to stop crying while Mark took a seat on his other side holding his other hand. Harry slowly slipped out of the room and headed to his office to try and calm down before calling his mum to ask about Blake glad that it was saturday.

"Hello love." Anne answered the phone sounding too cheerful and when Harry heard Blake laughing and Harley's barks, he knew why making him smile a little.

"Hi mum! How's Blake doing? He hasn't given you any trouble, has he?" Harry asked taking a seat on the couch.

"My grandbaby is an angel, love." Anne happily said, "Are you almost done with what you had to do?"

"Almost..." Harry hesitated, "I'll be there in a few more hours, we can go out to dinner if you want to of course."

"I will love to, sweetheart. It's been so long since we spent proper time together, just let me know when you're on your way so we can get ready." Anne said.

I will mum, I'll see you later. Love you both." Harry said then ended the call after his mother said her goodbyes.

For the next hour he focused on paperwork fighting the urge to turn on the monitor and see what was going on in Louis' room after they had placed cameras to keep a closer eye on him. When he was finished was when he finally decided to go home as soon as the clock struck five pm.

He put everything away then got up and walked out of his office making sure to lock it after it then headed to Louis' room wanting to see him one more time. If he could, he would spend the night with him but Blake needed him. After getting sterilized he knocked on the door to make sure he wasn't interrupting then walked in when he heard Jay's voice telling him to do so.

"Hi sweetheart." Jay greeted him as she wiped her face with her sleeves.

Her eyes were red and her face was blotchy from all the crying she had been doing yet still try to smile at him. Harry grabbed her hand as soon as she reached for him then sat down on the bed next to Louis and in front of her.

"How are you feeling?" Harry finally asked her seeing her watching Louis.

"Good! Still feels like a dream to be quite honest but the more time I spend with him the more I convince myself that this is real, that he's really here." Jay tried to smile but more tears ended up coming out instead.

"I don't think how I feel compares to how you feel but I still can't believe it. It does feel like a dream." Harry said letting out a shaky breath at the end, his hand taking Louis' smaller one.

"Mark told me what happened. Thank you for not giving up on him." Jay got up to hug him staying there for a few seconds before she pulled away from him and sat down back on her spot.

"I would have never forgiven myself. I- I couldn't lose him again, Jay." Harry said looking at Louis then reached to fix the oxygen mask.

"Do you think he'll wake up soon?" Jay asked already afraid of what was going to happen, of Louis' reaction towards them and the situation.

"His heart is regenerating itself, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to revive him and Mark says his body needs to adjust to everything so I think it might be a while." Harry informed her seeing her nodding.

That was better than her son being dead.

"Are you leaving now, sweetheart?" Jay asked him after a while of sitting there in a comfortable silence only hearing the beeps of the heart monitor.

"I have to go see Blake and I promised mum I was going to take them out to dinner, I want to tell her about Louis." Harry said, "But I'll come back as soon as I can."

"Take your time and tell your mum I'll go visit her one of these days, it's been a while. I'll be here, Harry. I'm not going anywhere." Jay smiled when she saw the hesitation in Harry's eyes.

"I'll be here tomorrow as early as I can." Harry finally got up as well as Jay.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick." She said but Harry knew she was just giving him alone time with Louis.

With Jay gone, Harry took a seat on her old spot and grabbed Louis' warm hand rubbing circles on the top of it. He kissed it then pressed it against his cheek somehow feeling a sense of comfort just by feeling his skin against his own. He lowered it to kiss it again when his heart rate picked up making him wonder if he could hear them. He got up to check on him seeing rapid eye movement right away understanding that brain activity was picking up again. He chewed on his bottom lip wondering if he was dreaming old memories or if his mind was making up dreams, he didn't know what to hope for.

"You're okay, darling. It's okay, you're safe here." Harry murmured as he held Louis' hand in his and ran his fingers through his hair with his right one until his heart rate normalized again.

"I'm gonna go but I promise I'll be here tomorrow. I...I love you." Harry kissed his hand again then his forehead before leaving glad that Louis wasn't going to be alone.

He called his mother on his way home and when he got there he went straight for a shower wanting to tell her about Louis but couldn't when Blake could hear them. They ended up going to Anne's favorite restaurant where Harry told her she could order anything she wanted knowing that his mother would order the cheapest thing they had there.

After years of her trying to save money anyway she could to be able to raise her children, she didn't like them spending too much money on her. Of course Harry thought she deserved only the best and would always give her gifts no matter how many times she would tell him it wasn't necessary.

"Papa, do you think Harley is okay in his cage?" A worried Blake asked Harry soon after the waiter had placed a plate of food in front of him then Anne and Harry.

"He's okay bud, we left water, food and a few toys with him so don't worry." Harry said giving him a smile that had Blake nodding a few seconds later.

"Nana said she's going to make him a christmas sweater." Blake giggled, "And she makes the best, not like the ugly ones they sell at the store."

"He wants a snowman one, I'll try to make it as cute as I can." Anne chuckled then grabbed a fork to start eating her food.

They ate without making much conversation and by the time they were done Blake had cheered when Harry ordered chocolate cake for dessert ignoring the looks his mother was giving him. Chocolate cake had been Louis' favorite and he always loved when Anne would bake it just for him. It brought memories back to her, painful ones when to her she had also lost one of her own.

When they were finished, Harry paid the bill then he drove them back home where Anne decided to spend the night after seeing how nervous her son was. Harry sent Blake up to his bedroom so he could shower and get ready for bed soon after they had gotten home and the first thing he had done was take Harley out of his cage.

He had insisted on having him sleep in his bedroom that night when it started raining hard enough to scare even Blake and when Harry agreed after Blake had begged for fifteen minutes straight, he had ran up to him and hugged him thanking him a million times. When he was finally in the shower was when Harry made his mum sit on the couch in the living room with a cup of tea in her hands getting ready to explain to her. He looked at her trying to find the right thing to say when it was already so hard for him getting emotional every time he thought about him and how he almost lost him again.

"What's bothering you, love? You've been acting strange ever since you got back from the hospital." Anne got up to sit next to him putting her cup of tea next to his then took his hands in hers.

"Louis." Was all Harry said still trying to figure out how to tell her that he was alive.

"Love, I know how much this hurts you but think that he'll finally rest in peace." Anne told him.

"Mum...he's- he's alive..." Harry finally told her and when her eyes filled with tears he knew he had done it all wrong.

"Don't joke about it, Harry Edward!" Anne scolded him still unable to believe it.

"I would never joke about this, mum. I found a way so the heart regenerates and weeks after clinical trials Mark and I decided to unfreeze him and...he's alive mum. He- He's finally here again, that's why I was away all day today." Harry told her hoping she'll believe him now.

"Oh my god." Anne brought her hands over her mouth as the tears rolled down her cheeks now believing her son when he was crying happy tears, "Are you going to tell Blake?" She asked him.

"Not until he wakes up and we tell him everything, he has to get used to everything and I think it's best if Blake sees him when Louis is in a better state." Harry explained seeing her nodding along glad that his mother agreed with him.

"When do you think he'll wake up?" Anne asked after she had wiped her face with a kleenex.

"His heart stopped beating again after reanimation but I managed to bring him back meaning regeneration is working and we also have to take into consideration that his body is getting used to the environment surrounding him so it will be a while. All there's left to do is be patient." Harry gave her a smile then lifted their hands to kiss her hand forever grateful for everything she did for him.

"Do you think Mark and Jay will let me see him?" Anne asked then her eyes widened, "Jay! How is she doing? I'm assuming you told her."

"We told her a few hours ago and she's with him right now, no one can and will move her away from him. You should have seen her mum, it was very emotional when she saw him." Harry said remembering how she had reacted.

"I can only imagine. You still need to tell the guys and Gemma, she's going to come here first chance she gets." Anne chuckled then out of nowhere started crying already too overwhelmed.

"Mum don't cry, everything will be alright and hopefully he'll be here with us to celebrate christmas and his birthday." Harry said unable to wait for that day.

"His birthday..." Anne trailed off suddenly wondering if they'll be celebrating his nineteen or twenty eighth birthday.

"What are you thinking?" Harry asked her.

"Are we going to celebrate his nineteen or twenty eighth birthday?" Anne asked him immediately regretting it when Harry stiffened next to her.

"Well...he's legally twenty seven but physically he's only eighteen, whatever he feels comfortable with." Harry answered.

"I'm going to bake him a chocolate cake." Anne wiped her tears away.

"You can go see him whenever you want to. Jay told me to tell you she'll visit you one of these days." Harry told her as soon as he remembered.

"We haven't seen each other in a while." Anne sighed hearing Blake's footsteps on the stairs seeing Harry picking his cup of tea up and bringing it close to his lips.

"Nana, are you going to tell me a story?" Blake asked as soon as he walked into the living room with Harley in his arms.

"Of course, baby! Let me just put this away, so why don't you say goodnight to your papa and wait for me upstairs." Anne suggested grabbing her cup heading to the kitchen.

"Okay!" Blake nodded then turned to look at Harry, "Goodnight papa, I love you." He set Harley down to hug Harry.

"Goodnight buddy and I love you too." Harry said letting him go watching him pick him up again then walk upstairs making him smile at the way he was holding the squirmy puppy in his arms rather tightly.

"I'm gonna go tell him a story then go to bed after. Goodnight sweetheart, I love you." Anne said coming back from the kitchen hugging her son.

"Goodnight mum, love you too." Harry hugged her then watched her go upstairs.

He made his way to the kitchen to put his cup in the dishwasher then walked upstairs to get ready for bed and when he finally went to bed it was harder to fall asleep knowing that Louis was back in the clinic alive and breathing. He closed his eyes and soon a smile made its way in when he started remembering all those afternoons spent with Louis. He chuckled when he remembered when they spent Louis' birthday together just a week before he was taken from him, that was the day where earlier that day they had planned their escape thinking they would be happy forever.

"Harry, what's going on? Where are you taking me?" Louis asked, his arms in front of him trying to touch something after Harry had blindfolded him.

"It's a surprise, darling." Harry answered already too excited for his own good.

He was guiding him through his small apartment making sure he wasn't going to fall or bump his belly onto a wall or something and as soon as they were where he wanted them, he stopped. He hoped Louis liked the surprise or he was screwed when they were about to celebrate a first birthday together, one of the many more to come.

"Can I take it off now?" An impatient Louis asked.

"Go ahead, my love." Harry said with so much hope in his voice it made Louis smile as he reached to take it off.

He gasped as soon as he removed it seeing the blanket fort in front of him with a lot of pillows and blankets covering the floor making it look so comfortable. There were twinkly lights hanging from the makeshift ceiling and going down the walls giving it a warm glow when the lights to the whole apartment were turned off.

"Harry...y- you made this?" Louis asked as he turned around, his eyes already watery suddenly feeling very emotional.

"I did...well, Niall helped me a little before he left to spend the night with his girlfriend. Do you like it?" Harry asked feeling a bit nervous, "You once told me how much you wanted to build and sleep in one."

"I love it! This is the best birthday present ever! I've never built or been in one, just saw pictures of them. Thank you thank you!" Louis threw himself at Harry kissing all over his face and finally his lips before he pulled away, "Can we go in now?" He asked with such a bright smile that made Harry's heart beat a little faster and all he could do was nod.

Louis grabbed his hand and pulled him inside trying to be as careful as he could not wanting to destroy such masterpiece in his eyes. He settled down in the middle of it with Harry right next to him then let him bring the extra blankets over them when he noticed all his favorite snacks and a brown teddy bear. It had a red bow wrapped around its neck and Harry couldn't help but smile when Louis quickly reached for it hugging him close to him.

"This is the best birthday ever." Louis turned to look at Harry grabbing one of his hands, "Baby Blake and I love it, it's so simple yet so meaningful. I love you, Haz." Louis leaned forward to kiss him.

"I love you more and we do love simple after all, darling." Harry chuckled as soon as they pulled back.

"Just imagine all the blanket forts we're going to build every year, the biggest ones during christmas." Louis commented unable to wait for it, "Blake will love them and so will the other many babies we're going to have."

"Just wait for it, in a few years you're going to build them like a pro. It takes skill after all." Harry wrapped an arm around Louis' smaller shoulder kissing the side of his head.

"I can't wait, love." Louis sighed as he rubbed small circles on the left side of his belly, "We're going to be so happy."

Harry turned over on his side wiping away the bittersweet tears that had come out without his permission when he remembered, hoping one day they would be able to do that. He still remembers when they ended up making love right there where it had felt so magical and like nothing and no one would ever ruin their happiness. A few hours later he finally fell asleep already wanting it to be morning so he could go and see Louis already missing him more than ever.

When he woke up that Sunday morning he quickly sat up when he saw it was already nine in the morning. He could smell the pancakes and after pondering for a few minutes he finally got up and headed to the bathroom. He quickly brushed his teeth then did his business before washing his hands already too hungry as he made his way downstairs scratching by his belly button. When he got to the kitchen Blake was already sitting there eating his pancakes while his mother was making more.

"Good morning, love." Anne cheerfully greeted him giving him a plate full of pancakes.

"Morning, mum. Thank you." Harry pressed a kiss to her cheek feeling her patting his bum as he walked to the table just like she used to do when he was little, "Morning, Blakey." Harry ruffled his hair smiling when Blake gave him a sleepy smile.

"Morning, papa." Blake said covering his mouth just in time before yawning, "What are we doing today?" He asked after it had passed.

"You're going to stay with nana for a bit while I go to the hospital, I need to be there for a bit." Harry informed him seeing him pouting already.

"But you already went yesterday and you say people don't work on sundays, I wanted to play football with you then watch movies." Blake dropped his fork expecting him to stay like he always did.

"It will only be for half the day and before you know it, I'll be back and we can do whatever you want." Harry reached to grab his hand sighing in frustration when Blake pulled it away and went back to eating his pancakes already giving him the silent treatment.

Anne shook her head but didn't say a thing opting for just sitting down and eat her pancakes until they finished and Blake rushed to rinse then put his plate in the dishwasher before running upstairs and slamming the door closed. Harry decided to ignore him intending on having a serious talk with him later on but now he had to go to the clinic and see Louis. He said goodbye to his mother thanking her again for staying with his son then drove to the hospital sending a group message to Niall, Liam and Zayn telling them to meet them in Mark's clinic.

When he got there he left his things in his office reading a message from Mark telling him they had moved him to a more comfortable room that morning so Louis and people visiting him could feel more comfortable. When he walked in he greeted both Jay and Mark who left him alone with Louis who still looked the same but according to his file, he was responding well to treatment. He was still with him when he got a message from Niall telling him they were in his office after Harry had asked a receptionist to take them there.

"I'll be right back, darling. I have to go talk to our friends and tell them you're back, they'll probably want to see you." Harry told him then left after kissing his forehead.

When he walked into his office Niall was sitting on the couch and Zayn was in between Liam and him looking around and not saying anything. Zayn was the first one to look at him and by the looks of it he was still upset when he plastered himself to Liam's side who only wrapped an arm around his husband. Harry wondered if he was feeling okay enough for him to tell them the news without risking his or the baby's life.

"Hey Harry!" Niall waved at him while Liam only smiled at him and Zayn stayed quiet not doing anything, "You wanted to talk to us?"

"I do, I have something to tell you guys." Harry said taking a seat on his chair then rolled it to be in front of them focusing on Zayn who had a hand on his still flat belly, "Zayn, are you feeling okay?" Harry asked making him furrow his brow in confusion.

"I- I'm doing great." He answered then let out a loud sigh, "I want to apologize for the way I acted a few weeks ago, I was really upset but now I understand that you haven't had it any easy. It's your decision and I have to respect it no matter what. I'm sorry."

"I understand Zayn, and that's what I wanted to talk to you about." Harry said then took a deep breath.

"Do we get to see him one more time before...before Mark unfreezes him?" Zayn asked, his eyes already shiny with unshed tears as well as Liam's and Niall's. That was it.

"Please don't interrupt me, okay?" Harry said then continued when they nodded, "Mark unfroze him yesterday..." Harry started but was interrupted by Zayn's muffled sob as he hid his face on Liam's chest.

"Christ..." Niall muttered trying to take deep breaths feeling his throat closing in and Liam wasn't doing any better yet tried to be strong for all of them.

"I found a cure and after clinical trials we decided to try it on him, reanimation failed the first time after his heart started beating again but I managed to bring him back. He's in a private room right now alive and breathing...his- his heart is beating again." Harry rushed to tell them wondering why he was doing it all wrong when Zayn started crying harder, he just hoped not to fuck up with Blake.

Y- You're not lying?" Zayn timidly asked him and when Harry shook his head no, he got up and wrapped his arms around him crying on his shoulder as Harry rubbed his back.

"Would you like to see him?" Harry asked pulling away when Zayn nodded.

Zayn wouldn't stop crying the whole way there and as soon as they were sterilized and changed into scrubs, Harry finally allowed them inside where they stood by the door unable to move. They still couldn't believe it and when the beeping noise reached their ears, Zayn finally took a step forward and shyly reached for his hand pulling it close to his lips as his eyes filled with more tears.

"H- Hey Lou." He whispered unable to take his eyes off of him finally grasping the fact that he was indeed alive, "You have no idea how much I missed you, Lou. You- You're alive, you're alive." He sobbed unable to stop crying, feeling warm arms around him knowing they were Liam's by his cologne.

Niall finally gathered enough courage to get closer followed by Harry who was smiling as he wiped away his tears when all five of them were finally together again. They stayed with Louis for a while not wanting to leave just yet when they had never been strong enough to see him while frozen. Harry just hoped for him to wake up soon.

Thoughts? :)
