Harry's POV
"Lyric! Kale! We're home!" we all yelled as we walked through the door.
"In the kitchen!" Lyric's musical voice sang.
I walked into the kitchen and saw her at the island, seven sandwiches in front of her. "Hello, love," I greeted.
"Hi, Babe," she smiled.
"Lyrical! Is my food ready?" Niall yelled as he walked into the kitchen.
"Yup, two sandwiches for my Nialler," she said, pointing.
"Hey, Pumpkin. Hazza tell you the news?" Liam asked, a smile evident on his face.
"No, I haven't said but a simple hello because someone," I eyed Niall, "Was intent on stuffing his face," I told him.
Liam chuckled and took a bite out of the sandwich Lyric handed. "So what news?" Lyric asked me.
"You and Kale won't be staying home while we're on tour, you'll be accompanying the five of us on a tour bus all around the world," I smiled cheekily.
"Yay!" she jumped up and down, clapping, a huge smile spread across her face.
I hugged her and soon the other four were hugging us. "Where's Kale?" Louis asked.
"Napping," Lyric replied, gesturing up the stairs. Louis looked up the stairs, almost like he was waiting for Kale to appear at the top.
"Do you think he'll wake up soon?" he asked.
"I don't know. I put him down right before you guys left. It could be ten minutes it could be two hours with the way he sleeps," she told him, resting her head on my shoulder.
Louis sighed, "Okay, I'll just find something else to do," he said.
"Lou, don't you think it's a little strange that you're so attached to Kale?" I heard myself ask.
His gaze flashed to mine, "No, why would it be?"
"You spend all of your time with him," I hinted.
"So? Just because I like spending time with a baby who will be one in two weeks doesn't mean anything. He's a special little boy, you may not see it but he means more to me than anything I've ever come in contact with. If you've got a problem with it, say it," he told me.
"I'm not saying I have a problem, Lou, but when you spend more time with him than the rest of us put together it's a bit much," I told him.
"Whatever," he grumbled and took his sandwich, thanking Lyric and walking to his room.
Lyric slapped me, "What is wrong with you, Harry? Why does it matter how much time Louis spends with my son?" she asked.
I rubbed my head, "I was just curious. I kinda miss my best friend," I shrugged.
She rolled her eyes and walked towards Louis' room. Shit.
"Harry, you bloke! What's wrong with Lou being close to Kale?" Niall asked. "He's going to need to be close to someone who's not his father figure or his mum."
"I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it," I muttered and took my sandwich to the living area.
