Lou Lou In Wonderland

Chapter 12-Meeting the family

"Hi, mum."

"Hi, sweetheart. Is it safe to hug you?" Louis's mother Jay asked.

"Yes." Louis smiled and opened his arms to hug his mum. He had missed her. "This is my boyfriend Harry."

"Hi, Mrs. Tomlinson." Harry greeted politely.

"It's Deakin actually but please call me Jay. Welcome." Jay smiled at him.

Harry blushed.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Mrs...Jay. I just assumed, stupid of me."

"Don't be silly, love. Honest mistake. Let's blame Louis for not informing you that I" m divorced." Jay laughed.

"Heeeey, I've been pre-occupied." Louis huffed.

They were interrupted by four girls that came running into the hallway. They all came to hug Louis at the same time with a collective "Louis!"

Louis laughed and hugged them all.
"Hi girls. I missed you."

"We missed you too. Show us your fangs!" The oldest said.

"Lottie! I won't do that." Louis laughed.

"Pleeease!" The girls shouted at the same time.

Louis jumped forward and pretended to grab them while he did a "waaaah" sound and popped his fangs. They all screamed.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you! I won't hurt you. I would never hurt you." Louis said, sounding remorseful.

"We know that you moron. It was funny." Fizzie giggled.

The twins turned to Harry, eyeing him curiously.
"Are you really a fairy?" Phoebe asked.

"Yes, I am." Harry answered with a smile.

"Do you have wings?" Daisy questioned.

"Yes, I have." Harry said, smile growing bigger.

"No way! Can we see them?" Phoebe asked excitedly.

Harry took off his jacket. His t-shirt underneath had holes in the back and he unfolded them. All the girls gasped.
"So pretty!" Phoebe said sounding amazed.

"So much cooler than those lame fangs you have." Daisy said to her brother.

Harry started to giggle and Louis burst out laughing.
"Thanks, Daisy. I feel the love."

"Come on, let's get inside. I want to hear all about your new school. Tea?" Jay asked and headed for the kitchen.

"Your family is lovely. So accepting." Harry whispered to Louis while they walked after Louis's mum to the kitchen.

"Yeah, they're great." Louis whispered back.

They spent an hour talking with Jay over a cup of tea before Louis showed Harry his room upstairs. He immediately pulled him in for a kiss as soon as the door closed behind them. They had just managed to get tired up when there was a knock on the door.
"Louis, Harry! Come play board games with us please!" Daisy's voice was heard.

Louis rested his forehead against Harrys.
"We're not gonna get that much alone time on this Christmas break." He chuckled.

"I want to get to know your family Lou." Harry smiled.

They went downstairs and joined Louis's sisters.

The days went by fast. Louis woke up on his birthday from Harry smothering him with kisses all over his face.
"Wake up birthday boy."

Louis forgot for a moment that he wasn't getting older and let out a happy giggle. He opened his eyes and started right into Harry's green ones.
"Hi."

"I love you. Happy birthday." Harry smiled.

"I love you too. Thank you." Louis answered softly.

Harry kissed him before he jumped out of bed to fetch a present. He came back to bed and got under the cover.
"Here."

"You didn't have to get me anything." Louis smiled.

"You're my boyfriend. Of course I have a present for you. I wrapped it myself. Look it even has a little bow and everything. Open it!" Harry replied excitedly.

Louis carefully removed the paper and opened the box. It contained a photobook of pictures of him and Harry together.
"How?"

"I hired Niall as a photographer." Harry giggled.

"I love it. Thank you." Louis smiled.

"I'm glad. Now you need your breakfast. I miss those blue eyes." Harry said.

"Isn't the red a nice shade?" Louis smirked.

"Yes, but blue is better." Harry smiled.

They went downstairs to eat breakfast. Louis opened his bottle of blood and started to drink.
"Eeew, gross!" Lottie complained.

Louis put his tongue out at her and continued to drink his fake blood. Jay came up to the table carrying a big cake. Her eyes fell on the bottle of blood.
"Oh, I'm sorry Louis. What was I thinking? You can't eat this, can you?"

"It's okay mum. You guys can eat and what is a birthday without cake? Thank you for making it." Louis smiled.

"I eeh, google blood recipes for next year." Jay said.

"Please don't." Louis giggled.

"Thank God." Jay laughed.

The rest of them ate cake and Louis opened his presents, trying his best to seem happy.
"What's wrong sweetheart? You have always loved your birthday but you seem sad?" Jay asked.

"This is great mum, but I'm not really getting older anymore. You all are. I'm not." Louis sighed.

"Oh, sweetie." Jay said compassionate and hugged him tightly, rocking him back and forth.

His dad called an hour later and told him to come to a motel outside town in an hour. Louis agreed and hung up. He called Liam's dad directly after to give him the address and he promised that they would be close by and that they would move in as soon as he had got the confession on tape or earlier if he was in danger. They had come up with a code word, avocado.

He hadn't told his mum about any of it. He didn't want to worry her. He and Harry went upstairs and Harry helped him with the listening device. Liam had given it to him earlier and showed them how to tape it to his body. Harry put it in with shaky hands. His eyes were teary and his lower lip was trembling.
"I'm gonna be fine Haz." Louis said softly.

"You better be! I don't like this Lou. You could get hurt." Harry said, tears tipping over and started to roll down his cheeks.

Louis pulled him in for a hug.
"I'm a vampire. I can handle it. Don't worry."

"I will be worrying sick until this is over!" Harry sobbed.

"I love you. We need to get going." Louis said and wiped away Harry's tears and kissed him.

They told his mum that he wanted to show Harry the town and they got in the car.  Louis drove to the motel. He dropped Harry off at the Beachwood Cafe.
"Wait for me here. I'll be back as soon as this is over."

Harry kissed him before he got out of the car.
"Be careful. Don't try to be a hero."

"I won't. Love you." Louis promised and drove off, heading for the motel. His heart was beating fast.
