Chapter Thirty-Five

* I kind of want a new cover???* 

"Are you sure you have everything?"

"Yes Zayn."

"I can't believe I'm letting you do this." Zayn sighed from his spot sprawled out on he and Louis' bed "Go through the list again."

Louis after rolling his eyes and mumbling a 'Jesus Christ' answered "Two IPads, sixteen pairs of pants, twenty shirts, thirty little boxers, six pairs of shoes, two stuffed pugs...need I go on Zayn? I'm sure I have everything."

Zayn sat up on his elbows and narrowed his eyes at Louis "And if you don't?"

"Um I don't know let me think... I'll buy another...obviously."

"Louis please!" Zayn begged crawling toward the edge of the bed where Louis was going through the suitcase "Humor me, you're going to be gone for two weeks, this is the longest I'll have been away from them."

Louis sighed looking down at his fiancee noticing the nervousness in his eyes. "Babe," he closed the suitcase and pulled Zayn closer to him "I promise everything will be okay. I'll be with the boys the whole time and when I'm preforming or doing and interview Lou will have Lux and she already said she has no problem watching the boys. Z, I wouldn't have asked to bring them with me if I didn't think I could handle it."

"I know." Zayn nodded tracing patterns in to Louis' hand "I'm just a nervous wreck. It's not like I don't trust you it's just they're my babies Lou."

"I know love, just trust me when I say they're going to have a great time and I won't let anything happen to them."

"Dad...dad...daaadddd!" Damian yelled reaching over Elijah to poke Louis' neck. "We been in this room for a ba-la-jil-lion years!" 

"Babe, it's only been twenty minutes and Elijah's napping. We'll go to a few shops when he wakes up." Louis sighed rolling over on the bed trying to fall back asleep only he wasn't met with silence. As soon as he got comfortable on the bed he heard a smacking sound then a whimper that turned in to a sob. 

He quickly sat up and turned seeing Damian looking up and him with wide as and Elijah looking at Damian tears flowing down his cheeks. 

"Damian!" Louis scolded "why would you do that?" He scooped the younger of the twins in to his arms and started trying to kiss his salty tears away while rubbing soft circles in to his back. 

"Wanna go now." Was all Damian muttered. 

He was completely out of his comfort zone. What was acceptable? He knew he wouldn't spank Damian but he wasn't sure what the right thing to say was, so he did the only thing he could think of. 

"You get your little bum up and go stand in that corner. I'm going to call your daddy and let's see of he let's you stay on this trip. You never put your hands on your own brother. Do you hear me!?" 

There was a stern, fatherly tone to his voice Louis never knew he had. He pulled out his phone from his back pocket and quickly dialed Zayns number. 

"Hi babe!" Zayn answered cheerfully "Did you make it to the hotel okay?"

He paused waiting for Louis to answer but all he got was a shaky breath.

"Lou? What's wrong?"

"I don't know what to do and it's stressing me out. It hasn't even been a full day and I'm losing my shit." Louis mumbled brushing the hair out of a sleeping Elijah's face. "Damian hit Elijah while he was sleeping because he wants to go explore now. I told him to wait and as soon as I turned over to sleep as well he hit him." 

Zayn who was pinning a dress on to Dakota Johnson, apologized and walked over to the corner of the room. "Did you tell him what he did was wrong?"

Louis nodded then realized he couldn't be seen and hummed a "Yes." he breathed "I told him he's not meant to put his hands on his brother and sent to the corner so I could call you. Was that wrong? I'm so out of my element Zayn! I've never done this before, I've only ever been completely alone with them for a few hours. What made me think I could handle two weeks?"

"Oh Lou," he whispered running his hand through his hair "you did everything right babe. You immediately told him that he was wrong and not to do it and you put him in a time out."

"But-"

"No buts Louis, have some faith in yourself. I wouldn't have let them go with you if I didn't believe you could handle it. Keep in timeout for about ten minutes don't talk to him let him stand there and thing about what he did. Make sure that whenever Elijah wakes up that Damian apologizes to him okay."

"How are you so good at this?" Louis whispered back glancing at Damian who was still in the corner looking down at his shoes.

"Four years of practice. I used to call my mum sobbing begging her to come help me."

That confession made Louis frown "I'm sorry."

"It's the past now, yeah. We're moving on, growing together and doing things right this time."

"I love you so much Z."

Zayn smiled and bit his bottom lip. He tried not to notice Dakota staring at him with a small smile on her lips from hearing the conversation but he couldn't.

"I love you, too. Now I have to go I have Dakota half pinned in to a dress that needs re-sizing. You're doing great, you're going to continue to do great. I love you, again. Bye!" 

Louis was so gone for Zayn, it was ridiculous.

Later that day after Damian properly apologized to Elijah with a hug and kiss on the cheek, Louis and Liam decided to take them out to eat at 5 Napkin Burger. They ended up regretting that decision halfway through the meal when they realized why the restaurant had it's name. Damian and Elijah were covered in grease, cheese and ketchup, but Louis couldn't bring himself to really care. He was with one of his best friends and his sons were sat across from him laughing and telling him stories from pre-k and how they missed their teacher Miss Rosie but would rather be here than anywhere else.
