Hush Little Baby

A/N: Hey guys, thanks for reading! Quick note for those of you who even bother reading these: First off- I’ve re-created the Tomlinson family in a way. I know Louis has four sisters, but for the sake of this story, he has two younger twin sisters and a sister who is three years younger than him. The prologue is set in 2009, but the rest of the story will be 2012/2013.

Secondly, the first few chapters may be bit confusing, but just keep reading, please! It all explains itself soon enough in the story.

That’s all, you can continue with the story now!

Prologue

~~*~~

“Sissy, sissy, come play with us! Come play with us!” Macy and Katrina chanted, tugging on their older sister’s coat. Arianna rolled her eyes at the twins, mad at her parents for leaving her with them while her brother got treated to a nice shopping trip. Stupid favoritism. She thought bitterly.

“No, you can play on a playground by yourselves. I’ll sit here and watch you.” She held her coat closer to protect her body from the harsh cold that was always brought with the Christmas season, shooing her little sisters off. They obliged, though slightly hesitantly.

This was a lovely way to spend the first day of her Christmas break. Arianna thought sarcastically, slumping into the nearest bench. Her family had all taken a trip from Doncaster, to spend Christmas in London. The first day, her parents decided to take her older brother shopping in the mall, and left Arianna in charge of the twins. Just shows how wonderful her parents are…

Arianna had always been jealous of her brother. He was the only son of the Tomlinson’s, and for that reason they had always given him the ‘special’ treatment. With her parents, it was always ‘Louis this’, ‘Louis that’. That had never really affected the close relationship Arianna shared with her brother, but sometimes her jealousy would get in the way.

Thinking about her brother only seemed to be dampening her mood, as Arianna sunk further into the snow covered bench. Why her?

“Excuse me miss,” Her head snapped up to see an elderly looking man, possibly in his late eighties, standing next to her. “Is this seat taken?” Arianna considered telling him it was and she was just saving it for someone, but in the end decided against it. It wasn’t the old man she was mad at.

She shook her head, watching warily as he took a seat next to her. They sat in silence as she half watched her two siblings chasing each other on the playground, giggling like the children they were. It caused a small smile to spread across her face, despite the fact that she was upset with them.

“My name is Gabriel,” Arianna looked at the grey haired man sitting next to her and saw his hand held out in front of her. She shook it with raised eyebrows.

“Arianna.”

Gabriel nodded. “Are those your sisters over there?” He gestured towards Macy and Katrina. Arianna nodded warily. Who was this man?
