Harry sat at his desk at work eating lunch with Liam. It was a nice Wednesday afternoon. The week after Harry putting away Eva's belongings. At first, he felt guilty about packing her away in a sense. Harry knew she was up in heaven cheering him on for getting his shit together.

His phone lit up with Louis's name. Confused he answered it. Louis never calls him while he's at work.

"Hey H, uh, don't panic but the kids and I are at the hospital-"

"What?! Is everyone okay?!" Harry asks jumping up and grabbing his car keys. Liam looks at him with worry.

"I told you not to panic! But, Theodore decided to jump off the swing set and may have fallen on Alice... which may have led to her landing on her arm and breaking it..." Louis says biting his lip on the other side of the line.

Theo had gotten the idea that he wanted to jump off the swing, and before Louis could stop him or move Alice it was too late. He landed on top of Alice who put her arms out in front of her to stop the fall. Only to break her left arm.

Louis wasn't mad at Theodore though. He knew kids sometimes do things without thinking them all the way through. Theo sat beside Louis with a sad and guilty look on his face. Emerson sat on the other side of him. Louis took Theo's hand in his.

"Hey buddy, it's okay, she's okay. Accidents happen all the time," Louis says crouching down in front of him. Theo wrapped his arms around Louis's neck and sobbed.

"I'm sorry Louis," he sobs out. Louis rubbed his back and let him cry.

"Hey bub, it's okay," he says trying to comfort him. He pulls back and wipes Theo's tears.

Harry was soon at the hospital and saw Louis trying to calm Theodore down. He sighs thankful that Louis wasn't mad. His heart swelled as he watches Louis hug Theodore and runs his hand through his curls. Emerson joined the hug too.

"Hey guys," I say gently as I walked up. Theodore looked at me with wide eyes.

"I'm sorry daddy I didn't mean to!" Theo wailed. Harry picked him up to try to comfort him.

"I know, I know," Harry said kissing his head.

"For Alice Tomlinson?" A nurse asked. All of us turned around. "She's set to go."

They brought Alice back to Louis's place and Harry followed him in his car.

"Would you guys like some ice cream?" Louis asks going to the kitchen.

Harry took in his surroundings as Louis got the kids ice cream. His kitchen was a fraction of the size of his. His living room was a decent size and felt super homey. He looked at the pictures on the walls of him, Niall, and Alice. He also noticed pictures of him and his siblings.

"Sorry, my place is smaller than your mansion," Louis smirked. Harry turned to him and pushed him slightly.

"Ha ha, very funny."

"Thanks for coming to the hospital for Alice," Louis says looking down at the floor.

"Of course I would. If you and Alice need me at any point at all, don't hesitate to call. I'll be there," Harry wraps his arms around Louis. He hugs him in return and puts his head in the crook of Harry's neck.

"Thank you, I know we've only known each other a couple of months but you're a good friend," Louis says honestly. Harry smiles down at him.
