HARRY

After Louis ran out to go get Milo, Harry stayed in the bedroom for a minute or so trying to process everything. He, as well s the rest of Lou's family, had heard Louis and his mum arguing in the backyard, they had all heard them talking (more like yelling), but their voices had been muffled, so no one could really get what the fighting was about, except for Harry who already knew.

From what happened in the grocery store, the fight they all heard and Louis telling Harry he had been lied to his entire life, he could only conclude that what the bald man had said in the store was true: he was Louis's biological father. Harry couldn't believe this was happening to Louis, his heart ached for him. Louis seemed so out of it and upset and angry, it was evident the news had shattered him, and Harry just hoped he could help him get through it.

He grabbed the bag and walked down the stairs, and when he reached the living room he noticed Louis had left already, so he said goodbye to the girls and then to Louis's grandparents so he could join Lou in the car.

"Harry, before you go, I wanted to give you some things, Louis ran off before I could give them to him" Louis's granma said "Is that alright?".

"Yes, of course" Harry replied.

She nodded and grabbed one of the two presents that were on the coffee table, Harry had seen them there before when he came in with Milo and the groceries, but he though nothing of them.

"This one is for Milo, think of it as a late baby shower present, he's already four months old and we haven't given him anything" she said giving Harry the first present, which was a baby blue gift bag.

"Thank you, I'm sure he'll love it" said Harry.

"It's just a silly little thing" Margaret brushed off

"The other present is for Louis, we've been wanting to give this to him for a few years, but we thought he wasn't ready, but after seeing him today we think it's the right time" Keith said.

He picked up the other present, which was a box wrapped in red paper, and he handed it to Harry, who took it.

"There's a card for him under the wrapping paper" Margaret said "And there are two things inside the box, tell him that if he doesn't want them he can return them to us, there won't be hard feelings".

"I will tell him all those things, but don't you rather give this to him yourself? I'm getting the feeling it's something important, and he's just outside in the car" said Harry.

"No, it's fine, it seemed like he didn't want to talk when he said goodbye" Louis's granma said.

"Yeah, that's true" mumbled Harry.

"Harry" Jay said walking inside the living room, in her face it was pretty clear she had been crying, although she was trying to cover it "Where's Louis?".

"He's in the car, we're leaving" Harry explained.

"Can I talk to you for a minute in the kitchen?" Jay wondered.

"Uhm, okay" Harry said hesitantly.

He left both the presents with the bag in the living room and followed Jay to the kitchen, and when they got there Jay closed the door.

"Did Louis tell you what we talked about?" Jay asked.

"Not exactly, but I already put two and two together" Harry said crossing his arms.

"I never meant Louis to find out like this, specially on a day like today, and really I can explain..." said Jay as her eyes filled with tears.

"You don't owe me an explanation Jay, I'm not Louis, just his boyfriend" Harry interrupted.
