Chapter 18- Our BABY boy, LUCAS ❤

Harry's POV

It has been almost a month, and I haven't quite thought on how to fulfill Lou's wishes, his last ones..

I decided to go over to the boys and sort something out..

"Lou, I have some errands to run.. I'll be back within an hour or two, three tops", I said while leaving the house..

I drove over to their apartment, slammed open their door, God knows why they always keep the front door open, anyways that's not the thing I came over to discuss, so focus!

"Guys, I need help!", I bursted out..

"Help? Is Louis alright?", asked Niall..

"Yeah, He's fine.. It's about something else.. The day when Lou was discharged from the hospital, I went to his apartment to pick up his clothes, you guys remember?", I simply asked them..

"Yeah, So?", asked Liam confused..

"I saw, rather read Lou's diary.. And I read of three wishes he wants, before he leaves us.. And I want to fulfill them, each one of it.. But I have no idea how?", I asked them perplexed..

"It's yours and Lou's moments.. Its totally on you to decide what You want to do and how, just let us know, and we will do every single arrangement you need.. But the rest of it is how you plan everything ", said Zayn smiling to which the other two nodded in approval..

I simply nodded my head, my eyes suddenly stopping at the clock, It was almost two hours I had been here.. And I already miss Lou..

I got out from there, and drove off.

On returning home, I was surprised to see Jo there.. She just stopped by to see Lou and was going to stay just for a day or two..

Jo is a really awesome woman, a great mother, a wonderful friend and above all an inpiring mentor.. She has always guided me like a mentor, and loved me like a mom.. So having her around always felt good..

"How are you, Harry?", she asked while hugging me..

"I am fine, Jo.. It's really nice to see you", I said smiling at her..

We left her alone to rest for a while and went up.. I could sense something was eating Lou.. He looked a little upset..

"What happened Lou?", I asked him rubbing my hands round his cheek..

"Nothing, Hazza.. It's just that, for two long days, we won't get to be the same old cranky person in love cheezing around the house, now that Mum's here", he said sounding low..

"Oh Shut up, Lou.. Stop being a jerk.. She came along just to check up on you and you are acting like a stupid.. And who told we won't get to be the same? Nothing is going to change, Love.. I promise.. ", I said to him..

He just gave me that assuring nod of his and I knew he was happy again..

The next morning, I woke up early, Lou was asleep then.. I just loved seeing him sleep, just like a baby, crunching onto the blanket,his mouth open just a bit..

I just smiled looking into his face and got out of the bed.. I freshened up, and left a note for him on the bedside table..

"Have some important works that I need to get done.. I am leaving another note for Jo about all the medicines and the time when she has to give you what.. 'Cause I know you will forget..

Anyways, I'll be back by the night.. Don't wait up for me.. I'll miss you, Take care, Love..

Yours, H.. "

Leaving the note, I went out of the house giving a kiss on Lou's forehead..

I drove for nearly three hours till I reached the place I came searching for..

"Children's Welfare Home"

I parked the car on one side and went inside, my heart still giving out second thoughts if I was doing right or not.. But then all the way I knew it was all for him, my Lou..

I walked up inside.. Gathering up all the courage I had..

"Hi.. I had an appointment made With Mr. Springfield. When can I meet him?", I asked the receptionist..

"If you would just wait for sometime, I'll just check up and get back to you, Sir.. Please be seated there", the girl said back..

I nodded and walked away, sitting on the couch..

"You can go in now, Sir", she said back after a few minutes..

I walked up to the cabin of the owner of the welfare home, with so many questions amd speculations in my mind..

"Hello Sir.. It's a pleasure meeting you", I said to Mr. Springfield..

"Pleasures all mine, my boy.. So how can I help you? Came down to make another donation?", he asked..

Yes, Me and Lou did come down once, a fair few years back, and donated a part of our income.. That day was really wonderful, Lou was so happy playing with the little ones.. He became everybody's favourite that day, straightaway..

After going through all the flashbacks, I finally answered saying, "No sir, this time it's something totally different.. I have come down here to ask for something from you.. I, NOT i actually, WE WANT TO ADOPT A BABY, A BABY BOY", I said to him.

He looked at me for quite a few minutes and then asked if I was sure..

I just nodded my head and pleaded him for accepting my wish, his wish..

"I am ready to pass through every legal checkings, every single thing you say but please I want it to be done fast.. It's one of Louis' wish, something he wants to see before he leaves us, forever", I said to him almost tearing up..

He walked up beside my chair, patted me on the back, and smiled back at me, asking, "When is the marriage? When do I get the legal papers done?"

I almost cried in happiness listening to him, and said, "Me and Louis are getting married very soon, very.. "..

He just gave me a smile and walked me up to where the babies laid in there small tiny cots..

I started looking over, from one end to the other till I stopped at one, it was the most beautiful creature I ever laid my eyes on.. The soft cackling and gasping sound that came while he cried, those scrunched cheeks like soft cotton balls.. Those small curled up fingers, those small eyes...

I couldn't resist but just smile continously looking at his face, how innocent and serene..

I didn't even realise myself saying, "LUCAS"..

I turned around to Mr. Springfield and told him that We wanted to adopt him..

He simply nodded his head in approval and guided me back to his room but before leaving I picked up OUR baby, and kissed him, saying," Daddys are waiting for you, Lucas..",while he tried grabbing my hand with his entire fist..

I filled in all the particulars, and Mr. Springfield assured that he would look into all the paperworks himself and get them done as fast as he could.. I took a photocopy of the adoption papers to show Lou.. And even I made Mr. Springfield sign a confidentiality agreement, to not say anything to anyone, not make anything public until we come up to say everything,in public..

I walked out of there with a sigh of relief, a sigh of happiness, happiness for taking a step forward towards Lou's wishes.. I was so happy on the feeling of being called Dad, just after a month or so..

I just couldn't wait to get to home, and tell him everything.. But I was still in the dilemma whether to tell him now, or surprise him later.. Meanwhile,...

*Phone ringing*

"Hello", I spoke..

I realised it was Jo on the other side of the call, panting heavily before she just told, "Harry, come back fast.. I'm in the hospital.. LOUIS..."

I didn't even let her complete and hung up and drove as fast As i could..

I haven't even fulfilled your wishes..You can't go now, Not now, please..
