3 years later

Harry's POV

"Papa!"

I turn around and catch the toddler running into my arms. I can't believe Jason is 3 now. It felt like just yesterday he was 4 months old and we were flying with Lou to New York.

So much has happened since then. Lou made an album. He had a tour in the U.S. He's starting another tour now. There's been award shows and parties. It all happened so fast. We had to hire more people at the Cafe as business went sky high once it got out that Lou was the L in Larry's. It's been nice though being able to take a step back and be with Jason more...and Lou.

"Excited to see daddy today?" I ask as he's practically jumping up and down on my shoulders.

"Yes! Yes! DAAAAADDY!!!" I laugh.

"J...W!" I face Niall and he and Nick run from where Jason just came from. "How dare you take off before we are even out of the car."

I feel the little boy slouch. "Sowwie Uncie Ni."

Niall smiles and sighs. "Oh it's fine. THIS TIME! Now you ready for this?" He waves at the arena and the little boy is happy again.

We start walking across the parking lot. Nick puts his arms around Niall and I can't help but see their wedding bands shine in the sun. I sigh shaking my head. That's the one thing that hasn't happened the past 3 years. I've wanted it to but the timing hasn't been right...or so I've been told. We finally reach the arena and I take Jason off my shoulders and hold his hand. There's tons of screaming boys and girls waiting for the ticket gates to open. I walk to the back with Nick and Niall following.

"Hey Harry!"

I smile at Lou's security guard. "Hey Jerry."

"It's the little man J.W.T!" Jerry says doing some secret handshake.

Jason smiles at him. "Daddy?!"

Jerry nods. "He's in there. Go get him."

He opens the gates and the four of us walk in. I knew he was already here because I spotted the tour bus outside along with his car. We walk down the hallways for so long that I start to think we've missed a turn...that is until I see him. Jason rips his hand out of mine and yells.

"DAAAAAAADDY!!!!" He runs toward Louis and he kneels down to hug him.

I had stopped walking. Nick continued walking but Niall stopped with me. I feel his hand on my shoulder and I know he's talking to me but I don't hear the words. The only thing I'm focused on are the blue eyes that look up at me over our sons shoulder. I haven't seen him in 6 months.

Louis POV

Has it really been 6 months? Fuck. I pull my son closer and take inventory on how much has changed. He's an inch taller. His blue eyes are brighter. He's wearing new shoes. He's gained weight but not too much. My eyes then look up to find Harry.

My throat goes dry and my arms become limp around the toddler who is talking my ear off. I nod at his words then ask him if he'd like to play the drums with Calvin. After nodding excitedly Calvin takes him to play around on the drums on stage. Nick follows and so does Niall after saying hello. It's just Harry and I in the hallway now.

"Harry." My voice cracks.

"Lou." My face falls. He steps forward. "Boo. Don't."

I half smile at the nickname and run over to him. "Haz." I grab his face in my hands. "I've...fuck."
