Settle Down With Me -Larry AU-

-six-

After two weeks of living with the new puppy, Harry and Louis had almost gotten completely used to it.

            Key word: almost.

+++++++

            As Harry’s alarm went off at four in the morning for him to let the dog out he groaned and buried his face in Louis’ hair.

            “Come on love, you’ve got to get up and let her out.” Harry heard Louis whisper to him, his voice laced with sleep.

            “Mmmm,” Harry grunted, “I’d rather just stay-“ he cut himself off with a yawn. “Stay here…”

            “I know, angel, but we need her to be good, don’t we? Don’t want any accidents.”

            “Ugh, no. Let me sleep.” Harry whined, rolling over so he wasn’t touching Louis.

            “Baby, you were the one who wanted the dog; you can’t get mad at me! Come on sweetie!” Louis cooed, but soon gave up realizing it would just be easier to take the dumb dog out himself. He huffed but threw the covers off himself, making sure they landed on Harry. He quickly fixed them, though, ignoring the little voice in his head whispering whipped to him. He kissed Harry’s hair before going to the corner of the room where Nala was still sleeping on her back with her legs in the air.

            “Nala,” he cooed, making kissing noises to attract her attention. Her head immediately snapped to him, and tongue fell out of her mouth as she flipped herself out of her bed and ran into his arms. He giggled as he clipped a lead onto her collar that she was still getting used to. He grabbed one of her many chew toys and together they strutted out the door and into their yard.

            Nala immediately lay down in the grass, sniffing the area around her. Louis huffed before giving her collar a little tug. She simply lolled her head to face him, and then faced back towards the other way. Louis sighed, but got down onto his knees and lifted her, throwing the toy a little ways away in hopes of her running after it. She did, and then after a few minutes squatted down to pee and poo. Louis grinned and cheered her on, calling her a good girl as soon as she raced back towards him. He gave her one of her favorite treats and then they walked back inside and back into their room.

            Louis placed her back in her bed and she fell right back to sleep. Louis smiled fondly at her, and then proceeded to return to his bed, crawling in behind Harry and wrapping his arms around his waist, nuzzling into his neck. He grinned happily, and slowly fell asleep. 

+++++++

            The next day Louis and Harry were curled up on the couch wrapped up in each other when Nala decided it would be good to shred apart Louis favorite pair of socks. Liam and Niall were visiting while Zayn and Perrie watched the girls. When Harry and Louis heard Niall let out a surprise laugh and Liam stutter out Louis’ name, they swiftly made their way to kitchen where they found quite the surprise.

            Liam and Niall were sat at the table munching on the pizza Harry had made, and staring in amusement at Nala. She had Louis’ pair of socks in front of her and was ripping them to bits right in front of their eyes. Louis’ mouth fell open and his fists clenched.

            “Hey,” he snarled, quickly snatching his ruined socks back. “You have teething toys for a reason, Nala! Bad girl!” He scolded her, gently tapping her back before giving her a replacement toy of Olaf the snowman. She happily began chewing on that, not even regarding Louis’ attempts at reprimanding. He sighed dejectedly before throwing away his socks. He walked back into Harry’s warm arms accepting his hug gratefully.

            “Well, at least now you’ve gotten rid of those god awful socks, Lou!”

            “Niall!”

+++++++

            Harry and Louis had just got back home from seeing a movie and they were very sleepy. The popcorn and soft drinks had given them a full belly and now they were ready for a long night of cuddling. When they opened their door they were not expecting to see Louis’ mum and second step dad, and all of his sisters in the lounge.

            “Hi guys! What are you doing here?” Harry grinned, hugging Daisy and Pheobe.

“Well, we’ve got some news…” Louis’ mother spoke up.

            “Yes?” Louis said.

            “I’m…I’m pregnant again.” Louis’ mother spoke up and Harry barely had time to catch Louis before he fell to the floor.
