Liam watched his dad taking care of this little boy with a confused feeling. He was used to being the only one there, the only one his dads took care of. He didn't know the frustrating feeling of jealousy yet, and he was having his first experience with it while Louis stroked Niall's hair and rocked him gently while whispering words Liam couldn't hear.
Liam got up from his chair when he was done with his breakfast, and disappeared from the kitchen. Harry noticed him and sighed. He hoped the first encounter between the two kids would go well but it was evident that it was perhaps a bit early for Liam. He was still very young to understand everything.
Harry left Louis with Niall and went to join Liam. He thought he'd find him in his room but Liam had locked himself in the bathroom. And Harry could clearly hear his son's cries, even tho Liam was trying to keep it quiet.
Harry bit his lip. He could still hear Niall's cries from the kitchen, and now Liam was crying too. He wasn't crying much anymore, now that he was a big boy, so Harry felt bad for him.
Harry tried to open the door but Liam had locked it. He gently knocked and heard Liam instantly quiet down.
« Lee, baby, it's me. Can you open the door, please ? »
After a few seconds and no response from Liam, Harry started to take that as a reject, but the door eventually opened and Liam's little body crashed against Harry's one. Liam wasn't holding his sobs back anymore, and it didn't take long before he was asking for a hug from his dad.
« Daddy doesn't love me anymore ! » - he wailed loudly when Harry took him in his arms.
He said it so loud Harry actually thought Louis might have heard him from all the way down the kitchen.
« Angel, of course he still loves you ! He loves you, we love you more than anything else in the whole world, Liam, you know that ?
- B-But- But Niall- Niall, he... »
Liam didn't quite finished his sentence, he was already crying again, unable to breath correctly. Harry was really worried. It wasn't that often that he saw his big boy cry like this, and it absolutely shattered his heart each time he did.
Instead of staying in the middle of the hallway in front of the bathroom, Harry took Liam into the boy's room and sat on his bed, keeping Liam in a tight hug on his lap.
« Lee, sweetheart, listen to me. »
Liam sniffled and looked up at his dad. His big puppy eyes full of tears made Harry cooed. He was feeling like they were going way too fast on poor Liam, to whom they didn't even take time to explain what was happening and what was going to change. He needed to talk to Louis about it. Even tho he knew Niall needed them for his well-being, needed their love and care and affection, Liam was also very important and his feelings matter and he had to be heard.
« I need you to know, and to never forget, that Papa Lou and I, we love you like no one could ever love you. We love you so much, and that'll never ever change. I'm sorry we forced this situation on you and that we didn't explain it properly to you. Nothing will change between the three of us anyway, no matter what, okay ? You'll always be our little boy, our baby.
- I don't want Niall to take my dads away from me... - Liam whimpered, hiding in Harry's neck.
- No one is going to take your dads away, baby ! - Harry smiled and hugged Liam a bit tighter. - Niall is probably going to stay for a while, but we'll always, always be your dads, we'll always be there for you whenever you need us, for anything. You understand ? »
Liam nodded, and they stayed a few more minutes just hugging each other. Then, Harry noticed they were getting really late at this point.
« Alright, bud, you have ten minutes to get dressed, wash your face and brush your teeth. I'll wait for you downstairs. Hurry up ! Love you. »
They bumped their fists like they usually do, and Liam ran to the bathroom to get ready, while Harry went back to the kitchen.
