Chapter 33: The Cousin

Melissa's POV:
Someone puts their arms around me and kisses my cheek. I slowly open my eyes and see Louis resting his head on my shoulder. "Are you hungry love?" He asks. I nod and hum. He chuckles and I kiss his cheek. "Are you still tired?" He asks. I hum again turning to him and snuggling up to him. "Where's Alex?" I ask. "Asleep." He says. I nod and he kisses the top of my head. "Let's go downstairs and I'll make you something. You haven't eaten all day." He says. "Okay." I say not moving a muscle. He chuckles and I giggle. "Lets go love. It's 4 and you haven't eaten all day. That's not healthy." He says rubbing my back.

I sigh and pull away. "Can I go to the bathroom first?" I ask. He nods and I smile. I kiss his cheek then go to the bathroom. I freshen up then walk out. I see Louis waiting for me and I smile at him. I grab his hand and we go downstairs. Dan was in the kitchen and he smiles at me. "Where have you been I haven't seen you all day." He says. "Asleep." I shrug. He chuckles and nods. "The usual." He says. I laugh and nod. I sit on a stool and Louis looks through the fridge. "Umm, there's leftover pizza and food from this morning in there." Dan says. Louis nods and looks at me.

"What do you want?" He asks. "To sleep." I say yawning. "You can go back to sleep once you eat something." He says. I sigh and he takes out the pizza. "So how's the wedding coming along?" Dan asks. "This is probably the most you've ever talked to me. Why?" I ask. "Melissa." Louis scolds me. I raise an eyebrow and look at Dan. "Theres no reason just talking." He says running his hand up and down the counter. I nod and Louis starts warming up the pizza. "So, your father." Dan starts. I look at him and he nervously smiles. "Are you planning a trip to go see my parents?" I ask. He groans and I laugh. "How'd you know?" He asks.

"You were just so awkward." I say laughing. Jay walks in and smiles. "Hi Melissa. Good morning." She says putting a bowl in the sink. I smile and wave. "Are you guys going to visit my parents?" I ask. "You haven't told her?" Jay asks Dan. "She kind of guessed it." He says. "Yeah because who starts a conversation by going; so, your father." I say trying to mimic him. They laugh and I shrug. "Yes we wanted to go out to LA and see them." Jay says nodding. "Yes I really need male bonding with someone other than three children." He says. Louis gasps and we laugh.

"Sorry Dan my dad is not gay, and second good luck trying to catch my parents when they are not working." I say. They nod and laugh. "So they're busy people?" Jay asks. I nod and Louis brings me the plate. "But I'm sure you can find someway to get them to stop working. I mean if Louis can do it I'm pretty sure you can do it too." I say. "Mum tell them to stop bulling me." Louis says. We laugh and Jay and Dan walk out. I grab a slice of pizza and take a bite out of it. I squeal and spit it out. "Hot." I say. Louis chuckles and grabs a napkin. He wipes my face and I smile. "Its too hot to eat." I whine.

He grabs the slice and blows on it trying to cool it down. "Try it now." He says. I open my mouth and he feeds it to me. "Can you get some water?" I ask. He gives me a glass of water and I drink some. "I'm full." I groan finishing the second slice. He nods and cleans up. "I love you." I say reaching for him as he washed my dishes. He stops and turns off the sink. He comes to me and I pull him into a hug. "I missed you." He says. "When?" I ask. "While you were asleep. I missed seeing your beautiful eyes and hearing your beautiful voice and kissing your soft lips." He says. I blush and he kisses my cheek.

"Well I'm here and awake now so you don't have to miss me anymore." I say pulling away. He smiles and I smile. "I love you." He says putting his arms around my waist pulling me closer. "I love you too." I say. He leans in and I quickly attach our lips. He chuckles and I move my lips against his. He picks me up and sits me on the counter. He cups my face and deepens the kiss. We get interrupted by the doorbell ringing. I pull away and sigh. He smiles and kisses my cheek. "Let's go see who it is." He says picking me up off the counter. He puts me down on the floor and holds my hand.

He leads me to the door and opens it. "Louis!" Someone shouts. "Wesley!" Louis shouts. My eyes go wide recognizing the name. Louis opens the door wider and he looks at me. His eyes go wide too and I quickly look away. "Umm, hello Ms. A- Mrs. Tomlinson." He says nervously. "Hi Wesley." I say smirking. He nods and we let him in. He walks in and I look at Louis. He smiles and squeezes my hand assuring me it will be okay. I nod and squeeze his hand back. "I'll go check on Alex." I say. He nods and Wesley looks at me confused. "Who's Alex?" He asks. "Oh why don't you bring him down to introduce him." Louis says to me.

I nod and go upstairs. I see Alex sucking his finger and kicking his feet around in his crib. I smile and pick him up. "Let's go see daddy." I say cleaning him up. I go downstairs and Louis and Wesley were watching tv. "Wait you had a kid?" Wesley asks. "Yeah. He's amazing." Louis says. "A boy?" Wesley asks. Louis nods and turns hearing me walk down the stairs. "No way mate. Congratulations." Wesley says surprised. I smile and hand him to Louis. "This is Alexander Tomlinson." Louis says introducing him to Wesley. "Well nice to meet ya Alex. Can I hold him?" He asks.

Louis nods and carefully hands him to Wesley. "Wow what a handsome lad you two have." He says rocking Alex. I smile and Louis puts an arm around me kissing the top of my head. "You are one happy family aren't ya?" Wesley says. We smile and nod.
