Liam, Jack and I - a dumping ground fanfiction

Chapter 10

The next morning, I wake pleased that, after I shared my flashback's details with Jack, I didn't have another nightmare. Jack wakes up soon after me and carries me down to the kitchen where Liam is pouring out two bowls of cornflakes and a small bowl of porridge and honey. He grins at us as we enter the room. "Thought I'd help you out a little. Alright Lottie?" I nod making grabby hands at the youngest of my older brothers. He smiles and takes me from Jack who places the bowls on the table. "Well sit down you two" Jack says pulling out three chairs. Once we're all seated, Jack alternates between eating his own breakfast and feeding me mine. As he does so, I swing my legs in happiness. "Aww. Is someone enjoying that?" I nod and Liam chuckles as he continues toshovel down his food. "Slow down Liam. Set a good example for Lottie. We don't want to teach her that wolfing down her food is either healthy or polite" Jack chides him making him roll his eyes. No doubt he's been told this time and time again. Liam nods and does as he is told. Halfway through my bowl of porridge, I turn my head away. "Lottie? Why've you stopped eating, hmm?" Jack asks setting the spoon down and turning to face me properly. "I'm not hungry anymore." I whisper. He sighs and stands up walking towards the bin so that he can get rid of the rest of my breakfast.  Once he sits back down he turns to face me again. "Listen, if there's anything bothering you, you will tell me, won't you Lottie?" I nod and he pats my back. Suddenly, his phone goes off and he exits the room.

As soon as Jack is out of the room, Liam moves his chair closer to mine. "Are you certain that you're full up?" I nod and he nods back at me. "Alright. Do you want a drink?" I nod only now realising that I'm thirsty. "Want some milk? Jack told me last night that you prefer milk in a bottle. I won't judge" I nod and he stands up moving towards the kitchen door. "JACK! WHERE ARE LOTTIE'S BOTTLES?!" he yells. Jack appears kind of angry and mouths that they're in his bedroom. Liam nods and both men head off. 

When Liam returns he washes my baby bottles and pours milk in one before putting it in the microwave. Whilst it's heating up, he lifts me onto his hip and bounces me gently. When the microwave beeps, he grabs the bottle testing the heat on his wrist before sitting back down with me leaning against his arm. Smiling, he puts the teat to my lips and watches as I start drinking straight away. I smile back accidentally spilling some of the milk. I go red but Liam just smiles and grabs a cloth that's on the other end of the table using it to wipe my face. "You mucky pup!" he laughs. "Liam, there is no need to yell if you need something. Now I'm sorry you two but something urgent has come up at work so I'm going to have to go. Liam look after your sister. I'll only be a few hours" Liam nods and we watch as he sprints outside before leaping into his car.
