Chapter 20

"Clifford! No! Bad puppy! Bad!" Harry exclaims pointing his finger at the puppy who immediately lets go of the roll of toilet paper he's been dragging through the house.

He can't help the smile that starts playing on his lips when the puppy suddenly sits down to lift his one paw and Harry thinks that the cheeky little rascal is trying to point right back at him.

The giggle he lets escape from his mouth a few seconds later is all the puppy needs to pick up the object again before he dashes towards the back door.

"Clifford! No!" Harry exclaims again while running, well, more like speed walking after him.

When he reaches the kitchen, Harry hears Louis sternly saying "Clifford! Bad pup! Bad pup! Let go!" He watches as Clifford once again lets the toilet paper roll fall from his mouth before the pup himself falls down on the floor, lifting his one paw, playfully dragging it over his little face.

"Pick it up, before he sees you smiling at him." Harry says from the doorway when he sees Louis fondly smiling down at the puppy.

Louis bends down to pick up the roll, sternly saying "Stay" when he starts pulling the string of toilet paper towards him. "Was it a new roll again?" He finally asks after pulling it for a few seconds.

"I think so." Harry answers. "We'll need to find a new place to store it." He says and giggles when the puppy starts chasing the end of the roll as Louis pulls it. "No Clifford! Bad! Bad pup!" He says through his giggles before picking him up.

Clifford immediately attacks the green eyed man's face with kisses, and Louis can't help his own giggles as he fondly watches the two of them.

They've had little Clifford for six days now. Louis saw him in the pet shop window when they went to the mall over the weekend. He told Harry that the puppy had begged him to go home with them, but Harry wanted to know nothing about it.

That was until Louis tricked him into walking past the shop where he suddenly pointed to the black pup with its white patches and Harry himself was gone for him as soon as he made eye contact with the cute animal.

Even though Louis had bought the little rascal every toy imaginable in the pet shop, he still loves messing up every toilet paper roll he finds, he tears apart every newspaper and magazine and lets not get started on their slippers. Neither of them have a full pair anymore, they mix and match the ones they have left as Harry simply refuses to buy any more.

"He's cute." Harry says, looking at Louis once the pup have calmed down a bit and is now resting his head on the younger man's shoulder.

Louis juts out his bottom lip and tilts his head a little to the right. His eyes scanning over Harry's naked upper body, his perfect sixteen week old little baby bump on full display. For a moment he tries to think again what he possibly could have done to deserve this sweet soul in front of him. He walks over to them and wraps his arms around Harry, gently pulling him closer.

"You're cute." He finally says and leans forward to kiss the green eyed man's cheek. "And I love you." He adds before placing a chaste kiss on Harry's lips. Harry watches as the older man leans down and places a string of kisses on his tummy. "And our little bug." He adds, gently running the palm of his hand over the little bump.

"We love you too, Lou." Harry says sweetly. And he means it, he really does.

"Good, you ready for this movie then?" Louis asks wiggling his eyebrows before motioning with his head towards the living room.

"Yeah." Harry answers sweetly and watches as Louis grabs the bowl of popcorn from the counter behind him before they make their way over to their couch in the living room.

They call it their couch, because it's the one Louis asked Harry to be his boyfriend on, it's the one where Harry gave Louis a blowjob on for the first time, it's the one they gravitate towards every evening before bed, where they talk to each other about their day, the one they cuddle on everytime they watch a movie, just like they are now, Louis right behind Harry with his arm wrapped snugly around the younger man, only this time around, there's a little ball of fluff joining them.

Twenty minutes into the movie, Harry hears Louis' soft little snores right behind him. He tries waking up the older man so they can go to bed, but Louis only tightens his grip and mumbles something about how Harry needs to finish watching the movie and the younger man finds himself chuckling at his boyfriend. He really is the cutest when he's sleepy. Yes. Sleepy Louis definitely has a special place reserved in Harry's heart.

And even though he's only known Louis for just a little over five months now, Harry feels like he's at that point in his life where he can't imagine it without Louis and where life before him has become a distant memory.

He's so thankful that Louis is the one he gets to share this adventure with, that Louis didn't freak out and ran away when he found out that Harry could bear children. Instead, he decided to move his life to Cheshire, so he could be there whenever Harry needs him.

Yes. Harry thinks of himself as the luckiest man on earth, and he still has no idea what he did right in this lifetime to deserve this angel holding him right now.

What he does know though, is that home for him, is not a building or place, but a person instead... Louis Tomlinson.
