The Lost Boy (Harry Styles)

25

Saturday, 2.15am. Jay was woken up by something prodding her arm.

She blinked. A bright light coming in through their now open door, from the hallway.

"Louis? What's wrong love?" She asked, as his little face became clearer.

"My tummy hurts." He said, sadly, rubbing his stomach.

"Oh dear." She got out of bed and took his hand, walking to the bathroom. "Do you need the toilet?" She asked, thinking maybe he needed to poo.

But Louis gagged and threw up on the floor. Jay guided him to the toilet just as he was sick again. She rubbed his back as he cried.

When he was done, he turned and fell into her open arms.

"My poor baby. Not nice being sick is it?" She felt him shake his head.

"Do you feel OK to go back to bed?"

He nodded. She picked him up and carried him back to his room.

"Harry?" He said.

"No love. You have to sleep in your bed. You don't want Harry to get sick too." He nodded as she placed him carefully in his bed.

"Stay Mummy?" He asked.

"Ok. Just let me clean the bathroom. Don't want Daddy to walk in it."

She went to clean the bathroom floor, and five minutes later, got into Louis' bed, after placing a bucket beside them.

He was already asleep. She hoped it was a one off and they'd all sleep until morning.

*****

Two hours later, she was woken again. But it wasn't Louis, it was Harry.

She heard him gagging and jumped out of Louis' bed, grabbing the bucket, but wasn't quick enough as Harry spewed up all over his bed. The bucket was under his chin before he was sick again.

Louis had woken up and sat up in his bed. "I'm sorry Mummy."

"It's ok love. Don't worry." She said, smiling at him, before concentrating on Harry as he threw up again.

"What's going on?" Mark asked. He was heading to the bathroom, but noticed Jay wasn't in bed.

"The boys are both sick." Jay replied, wiping Harry's mouth with a tissue as he laid back in his bed.

"Oh no. You should've woken me."

"It was ok til 5 minutes ago. I need to change Harry's bed. Can you take him?"

She picked him up and tried handing him to Mark, but Harry grabbed hold of Jay not wanting to go.

"It's fine. I'll do the bed." Mark said.

Jay sat on Louis' bed while Mark did the job, taking his sheets down to the washing machine and switching it on.

"Can I take the boys in our bed?" Jay asked as Mark came back in.

"Of course. Please wake me if I needed though."

Mark ended up sleeping in Louis' bed, while Jay was the filling in the boys sandwich.

*****

Mark was up at 8, deciding to let the rest of the family sleep, due to the events during the night. He went downstairs and put the radio on. He made a cup of tea and then set to work cleaning the house.

Two hours later, Jay woke up with Louis foot kicking her while he slept.

Neither boy had been sick again. Thankfully.

She managed to dislodge herself from between the two boys and used the bathroom. When she came back, Harry was sat up, crying. Jay quickly picked him up, thinking he might be sick again. She rushed to the bathroom, just as Harry filled his pull up.

It wasn't a pleasant job changing him. He was very messy and just as a new pull up was put on him, he filled it again. The poor boy now had diarrhoea.

"Mummy. It smells in here." Louis said, as Jay put another pull up on Harry.

"I know. Harry's tummy is still bad. Sorry." She said.

Louis held his nose and sat himself on the toilet. Jay cringed as Louis emptied his bowels too.

"Your tummy still bad too Lou?"

"No. Just doing a poo." He replied, getting up to clean himself.

Thank God, Jay thought. They washed their hands and went downstairs.

Mark had just finished hoovering the living room.

"Morning. How's everyone?"

"Think Louis is OK, but Harry has a runny bottom now."

"Oh dear. Poor love. Are you ok to have breakfast Lou?"

"Can I have just toast please Daddy?" He asked sitting on the sofa next to his Mum, who had Harry on her lap.

"Sure. Jay?"

"Me and Harry will have the same. Not sure his tummy will take anything else."

Mark went to the kitchen.

"I'm sorry for making Harry poorly." Louis said, as he rested his head against Jay's arm, while he touched Harry's foot.

"Hey. Don't be sorry. These things happen." Jay reassured him.

The toast arrived on a tray for them all to share. Jay also had a mug of tea, with milk for Harry and Louis.

"A day of cuddles today then?" Mark said as he sat down next to Louis.

"Sounds good to me." Jay said, Harry falling asleep on her lap.

Louis was fine the rest of the day. Poor Harry didn't get off so lightly though. He was sick a couple more times and Jay had a few more messy pull ups to change.

But that night they all slept soundly.

Happy Larryversary everyone.

What's your view on Larry?

Are they or were they ever married? Are they still together?

I really don't know anything to be honest. I like to think there was something years ago, but I doubt it now. I'm sure they'd be seen together by now if they were together.

Anyway...

Thoughts on the chapter? Sorry it's boring.

The next chapter will have the DNA results. Hold on to your hats!

Will update Wednesday..

All the love. L. Xx
