When You're Gone [Sequel to SOOS] [Laylor]

Chapter 1: The Baby

"We are like twin tower rising up to the sky. We are like twin towers, rising up in the blink of an eye..."

A/N: that picture does things to me okay bye

"Louis!" I call out from the baby's room. I hear footsteps and he is standing in the doorway. "Yeah?" He asks and I give him a small smile. "Can you hold her, please? I can't get her to fall asleep," I groan out. He sighs and holds his arms out.

"She always goes to sleep with you," I tell him and he smiles at me as I pass our 4 month old baby over to him. He takes her and holds her in his arms and I smile at the sight.

He turns around and starts walking downstairs, still holding her and I turn around to clean up her room.

I place toys away and clean up the changing table before going downstairs. I go into the living room and laugh at the sight in front of me.

Louis is playing the Xbox, whilst Halley is laying on Louis' stomach. I take out my phone and quickly snap a picture.

I sit down on the couch and open Instagram. I go to post the picture and I post it.

I smile and turn off my phone. "It's not nice to take pictures of people without them knowing," Louis says amused. "Hahaha," I say and stick my tongue out at him.

He loses the game and I laugh at his misfortune. He tries not to yell, because, well, he does have a child on him.

I laugh and he just groans and places the controller next to him on the couch. "I'm going to put her in her crib, yeah?" He says and I nod.

He picks up Halley off of his stomach and holds her as he gets up. He goes upstairs and I sigh. I go to the kitchen and put the kettle on, to make Louis a cup of tea.

I hear his footsteps enter the kitchen and I turn around for his lips to meet mine. I wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps his around my waist as he pulls me away from the stove and leans me against the counter.

I smile and pull away, resting our foreheads together. "I love you," I say and he smiles. "I love you too, especially when you make me tea," he adds and I laugh.

"Okay, okay," I say and he puts his arms on either side of me, trapping me in between his body and the counter. "Kettle hasn't gone off yet, we still got time," he whispers in my ear and I shake my head.

"Nope, I gotta make myself some hot chocolate," I say and he groans. "Ugh, fine. You're no fun," he says, pulling his arms away and stepping back. "But I'm the one making your tea so be thankful," I sass back and he laughs and kisses my cheek.

"You're spending too much time around me, Miss Sassy," he says and I roll my eyes and grab a hot chocolate packet out from the box.

"Well you are my husband," I say and he shrugs. "True," he says and the kettle rings. I pour the hot water into two mugs and place a teabag in Louis' and the hot chocolate powder in mine.

I mix mine up and wait until Louis' is done before taking out the tea bag and adding what he wants and mixing it up before handing it to him.

We go upstairs to our room and just cuddle on the bed whilst watching a movie and drinking our drinks. I occasionally get up to check on Halley, and see her peacefully sleeping each time.

"Mm, Tay, it's your turn to put her back to bed," Louis groans into my shoulder. I sigh, but slowly roll out of the bed. I place a kiss to Louis' lips and he thanks me before I go into the baby's room.

I turn on the light and walk over to her crib. I reach over and pick her up. I rest her head onto my shoulder and start swaying back and forth as she continues to cry.

I start to sing softly to her as I dry her tears and she starts to quiet down. I smile as I hear her breathing even out and a light snore escape her lips.

I gently place her back into her crib. I place a kiss onto my fingers and press them to her forehead, before brushing the hair out of her face.

I smile at her and trudge slowly back to bed, turning the lights out. I crawl back into the bed and Louis rolls over and wraps his arm around my waist.

I smile and close my eyes to go back to sleep.

A/N:

I know it's not long and I'm sorry, but they will get longer I promise.

I'm skipping this story to when Halley is a 1 year old for next chapter and she will basically stay around that same age for awhile and then I will gradually have her grow older, yeah?

First chapter I hope you guys enjoy :)

Ps i photoshopped the instagram stuff onto that picture ^ and i feel really proud of myself okay
