Help me. | l.s. (mpreg) [Book 1]

59

Louis had decided to work from home because Harry had constantly been scared since he knew that Kyle was out of prison and Louis didn't want to leave him alone even though he knew Liam and Zayn were next door, but Harry needed him and he and Charlie were his priority. Emily had come over a few times to discuss some important things and talk about their appointments and other organizational things.

Louis and Harry were just sitting at the table having lunch with Charlie on Harry's lap when Louis' phone rang.

"Do you mind, baby? It's Em." Louis gestured to the phone.

"No, of course not." Harry smiled. Louis nodded and picked up the phone.

"Yes, Em?" He greeted her.

"Hi, Louis. I really don't want to bother you, but can I ask you for a favor?" She asked sheepishly.

"Of course. What is it?" Louis placed his fork on his plate and leaned back in his chair. He watched with a smile how Harry coordinated eating his own food and feeding Charlie who was making a right mess on his shirt and Harry's lap with the mashed potatoes.

"Would it be possible bringing Isla with me? Her dad has to work and I can't find a babysitter." Emily asked. She was supposed to come over to discuss the preparation of a few reserved houses and how they could make the highest possible profit out of other properties. Isla was Emily's three year old daughter who Louis met twice already and of course he was fine with her coming along.

"Yes, of course! Just take her with you, I bet Harry will be thrilled meeting her." He chuckled.

Harry's head shot up and a wide grin erupted on his face and he nodded frantically.

"Oh thank god! Thank you, Louis." Emily breathed out relieved.

"It's all good." Louis chuckled again and after saying goodbye he hung up. "I hope it's really alright if Em brings her daughter." He immediately said.

"Of course, Lou! I can watch her as long as you're discussing business. We could read a story or play a bit and Charlie meets new people, this is so exciting!" Harry squealed.

"Yeah, really exciting." Louis rolled his eyes fondly.

About an hour after their lunch Emily arrived.

"Harry, is it really okay when she stays with you?" Emily asked doubtfully.

"Of course! We'll be having a lot of fun, right Isla?" Harry grinned at the little girl who was clinging onto his neck already. She nodded frantically and pressed her cheek against his own.

"Okay, we're in my office and won't disturb you any longer." Louis laughed and him and Emily disappeared in said room.

At first Harry was playing with Isla and Charlie which was a bit difficult because of their age gap and different interests but he managed quite good. Then at some point Isla asked Harry to braid her hair and who was Harry to deny her? Actually he had the time of his life, he loved braiding and he was even happier when Isla looked at herself through the mirror and squealed happily because it looked so beautiful.

"Hawwy, can I 'ave paint like you?" Isla asked cutely and pointed to Harry's nails.

"Uhm, we have to ask your mommy first, okay?" He smiled and Isla instantly nodded. 

Harry got up and went to Louis' office, knocking at the door. When he heard Louis calling him inside he peeked his head through the slot and grinned at Emily who was standing next to Louis- who was sitting on his chair at his desk- and slightly leaning over him pointing on a file.

"Sorry to interrupt you, but Isla asked if I can paint her nails. Is she allowed to?" Harry asked.

"Yes, sure. But if you don't want to, you can just tell her no." Emily smiled.
