posted last minute of the day, enjoy!

It's quiet in the villa and Louis knows that it's probably going to end soon. Quiet moments don't exist there for too long.

Harry is sitting between his legs, sharing the sunbed and Louis as usual plays with his hair. He is literally obsessed with his curls.

"There you are." Niall joins the couple. "I was lonely."

"Weren't you with Ed and Danielle?" Louis says, eyes closed as he enjoys the sun. He's not in the mood for people, only his Harry.

"Danielle is with Luke and Eleanor now. The two of them were in an argument again and she's trying to calm them both down. Almost as much sexual tension than between the two of you. Ed needed a moment alone."

"How's he doing?" Harry asks. "Is he coping?"

"He's not." Niall shakes his head. "I don't think it's really about Camille because he wasn't head over heels for her, just feels very betrayed."

"I get that." Louis says. "If I knew Harry was lying about his feelings all that time, I'd be crushed."

"But I'm not!" Harry immediately turns around and faces Louis.

"I know that, baby." Louis puts his finger under Harry's chin and kisses him softly. "It was just hypothetical."

"Well, don't do it again. I don't like it when you speak like that." Harry puts his head on Louis' chest.

"I'm sorry. I won't do it again, Haz."

"The two of you disgust me, I love it!" Niall smirks. "Glad the two of you are finally happily together."

"Me too." Louis agrees.

"Should have been sooner." Harry says at the same time.

"I GOT A TEXT!" Danielle comes running to the pool, followed by Luke and Eleanor. Around five minutes later everybody's around the brunette.

Dear Islanders

It's time to get a look at your possible future together. Go to the sleeping room.

"What can that possible be?" Luke wonders out loud.

"I don't know but if it's a Lamborghini then I would be really happy with my possible future." Eleanor jokes.

It's not a Lamborghini, it's something a lot less glamorous actually.

"BABIES!" Harry yells happily, clapping his hands.

There are five cribs with the name of each couple written on it. Cara takes the note that's lying next to the cribs.

Today you are going to spend taking care of your baby. You will have to feed them, change them and interact with them regularly. There are multiple sensors in the dolls that program the progress of the care taking.

"I can't believe this." Camille rolls her eyes. "Ed, take that thing, I have better things to do."

"So do I."

"Then just leave it here, whatever. I don't care about this stupid challenge." Camille leaves the room again and Ed visibly struggles with the situation. Niall walks towards him and pulls him in a hug.

"Want to do co-parenting with Danielle and I? The three of us can handle 2 babies, can't we?"

"I don't know, Niall. It's not like I'm experienced." Danielle rolls her eyes. "But I don't mind. We'll help you, Ed."

"I take him in the morning, you do the afternoon?" Eleanor suggests to Luke. "So we can both enjoy at least a little of our day."

"That's not fair!" Luke complains. "Afternoon is longer than the morning. I do morning, you do afternoon."

"Oh my god, you are so hopeless." Eleanor snaps and of course the two of them are in a fight, while Cara and Kendall have taken their baby outside already.

"How are we going to name them, Lou?" Harry asks.

"Them?"

"Don't want to put a gender on them. They can choose themselves when they are old enough."

Louis leans in and kisses Harry. God he is in love with this boy.

"You can choose a name, love. What do you like?"

"I can give you options and you choose?"

"That's fine." Louis agrees. "Go ahead, what can I choose from?"

"Jessie, Sam and Robin?"

"Sam, I like Sam." Louis says. "Do you want to hold them?"

Harry nods eagerly and takes the baby out of the crib.

"Hello there, little one." He coos. "I'm your daddy. That's Louis over there, he is your other daddy. Do you want to go for a walk, sweety?"

"Harry, love you are really cute but it's a doll. It's not going to answer you or give you a reaction at all."

"It's our child, Louis! Don't talk like that when they are with us." Harry covers the ears of the doll and Louis fondly rolls his eyes.

"Fine, let's go for a walk with Jessie."

The whole morning Harry takes care of Sam like it's his life goal. He talks to them all the time, also after Louis reminding him that it's a doll and he really shouldn't take the challenge that serious. He barely gives Louis even a chance to try to interact with Sam, only when in the afternoon Sam starts crying and Harry is helpless after trying everything to make them stop.

"I have changed their diaper, fed them, I have no fudging clue how to stop them, Lou!" Harry whines.

"Fudging?" Louis raises his eyebrow.

"No cursing near the baby."

"It's a doll, H."

"But they are crying and I don't know how to make it stop."

"Give them to me, then." Louis says and Harry does as told.

"Hi there, little one." He says but the baby still cries. "Don't cry, my love." Louis starts rocking the baby as he sings. "Hush, little baby, don't say a word. Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird.And if that mockingbird won't sing, Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring." The baby stops crying and it starts to make snoring noises. Louis' heart warms as he looks at Sam, starting to understand why Harry is so into the challenge. It starts to feel real, it makes him realise that this is something he wants one day with Harry.

"How did you know what to do?" Harry asks silently, making sure not to wake up Sam.

"Got six siblings." Louis says, holding Sam against his chest. "I helped my mom, babysat them. My sister, Lottie, she always loved when I sang for her before bed."

"Do you think that maybe one day you want to have children?" Harry asks softly.

"Yeah, not just one to be honest. I'm coming from a big warm family and I would love to give that to my children as well. What about you?"

"Definitely want kids." Harry agrees. "You would make a great father. I can learn from you."

"H, you have been literally walking around with Sam for hours."

"Yet you are the one to make them feel at ease."

"Parenting is not a competition."

"I know." Harry says. "Is it too soon to tell you that I'm really looking forward to have this with you for real one day?"

Louis can't ignore his heartrate that speeds up like crazy and can't keep the smile off his face.

"One day we'll have a real Sam together, H. Afew of them."
