I Love You Two >>boyxboy SEQUEL

5.Sleeping and Dreaming

"Okay, thank you. I'll see you then, John. Bye." Louis hung up the phone and closed his eyes. Then he looked down at the babies on the floor who trying to roll over on their blankets. The dog was laying next to Louis who sat Indian style and petted Larry tiredly and glanced at the clock.

2:52am. Harry had an all night shift at the emergency clinic and got the day off because of it, but Louis hated when he got those because Harry wasn't there to help him through the long nights like this, when after everything, feeding, changing, burping, singing, rubbing, they just want to play. Louis wouldn't mind if it just wasn't almost 3am.

Especially since after he just got off the phone with John Quiñones about finally filming the show in two days. Because Louis wanted to wait for the twins to be born to make it, they put the project on hold. But now it was finally going to be filmed. Louis had anxiety about it because he didn't want his kids to take the actors insults seriously.

Louis got a text from Harry, and smiled at it.

'I know you like to wake up with me beside you and wake up with a smile on your face, but since I can't do the first, I'll do the second. Just know that I love you baby. I'll see you at 5 haha and hopefully you're smiling and happy. But Louis, I just want to cherish every waking moment I have with you, and if that means having a baby, then I'll give you that baby of your dreams and we will make them slowly and full of love, just so we know the beauty inside of them just like our other kids. Even if they weren't made in the best way, doesn't mean they aren't made differently. So I'm going to come home with boxes and boxes of pregnancy tests, and we're going to use them until you get the result you want. You deserve everything you want in life and I just want to give it to you. I'm sorry this is so long, I've been erasing a lot and adding a lot. I just want this, and everything else perfect for you babe.

All the love, Hxx'

Louis smile was still prominent on his face as he began to type out,

'I'm still awake with the girls, but thank you, love. It really means a lot and makes my heart swell to know I have someone like you. Thank you so much, I love you Harold. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

Harry chuckled and smiled at his phone, sitting back in the staff lounge room, waiting to get paged for something, it's been a really slow night at the clinic and none of his colleagues from his office were working there that night.

Finally, his pager buzzed, he got up and saw the emergency light flashing in the hall, so walked faster to where the ambulance drop off was and saw Zayn rushing out. He saw Harry, and frowned. Walking over to him.

"You don't need to do this one H.."

"Hurry people, were loosing her!" One of the doctors said and they rushed the girl down the hall, harry got a quick glimpse of her and looked at Zayn.

"No, that's my baby. That's my girl Zayn! That's my daughter!" He cried, trying to go after her but Zayn stopped him.

"Harry, you can't see it okay, I'll tell you what happened but you can't help her, you'll freak out and maybe make things work because you can't focus okay?!?" Zayn yelled over Harry's sobs, who fell to the ground.

"My baby Elyse.." he croaked. "What happened to her, what happened?"

"S-she was stabbed a few blocks from your house. She said something to me when I got to her. She said you were right about him, but I don't know who him is Harry." Zayn started tearing up.

"My baby girl Zayn, that's my baby girl."

"Harry, she's going to be okay, she's strong okay? I'll call Louis and tell him to get down here, stay here okay?" Zayn was more saddened at how Harry looked, he knew how much it must've hurt.

Zayn called Louis but didn't tell him what happened, knowing he wouldn't be able to get to the place without crashing. Louis was asking questions about it but Zayn just told him that he needed to come and he'd explain when Louis got there.

So there Louis was, eagerly driving to the center with the twins in the back. It was bugging him what Zayn wouldn't tell him but he tried to focus on driving.

He arrived and took the babies car seats out, carrying them both, it was hard because the things were so god damned heavy, and the automatic door slid open as he approached them. Zayn was pacing back and fourth in the waiting room and stopped when he saw Louis, Harry stood up and stumbled to Louis (don't worry he already put the babies down) and hugged him, continuing to cry. Louis was confused but rubbed Harry's back soothingly.

"E-e-lys-se g-got s-stab-bed b-by C-Collin." He managed to sputter out, Louis tightened his grip on Harry to keep his legs from going weak is on him.

"Not our baby girl..." Louis' eyes welled up in tears and his face in Harry's neck as he began to dwell over their daughter. They held eachother tightly as they cried, using the other as an anchor because if they didn't have eachother, they wouldn't have anything.

Harry's pager buzzed and he shook his head. "I can't do it, I can't do it."

"It's for Elyse's room Harry, I suggest you do." Zayn wiped his eyes, and opened his arms for Louis, who kissed Harry and then went to him.

"I haven't talked to her in days Zayn, now if she dies I won't be able to live myself without telling my daughter what she really means to me. I was scared of her but maybe she was scared too, but I just turned my back on her. I didn't help her." He cried into his friends chest, Zayn rubbed his arm.

"Louis there's nothing you could've done, she wasn't listening to you when you tried. We don't know what she was going through so we can't blame this on anyone, okay? Elyse loves you and you love her and both of you know it." Zayn sniffled.

It wasn't long until Harry came back, looking more broken than when he left, his face crumpled as he shook his head and slid against the wall. "She's go-"

Louis gasped and opened his eyes, tears leaking from them as he saw the baby's sleeping on the floor and looked at the time, 4:56, Harry would be home any minute.

But he put the babies in the crib and walked down the stairs, absolutely traumatized. When did he even fall asleep? It felt so real.. all his dreams did lately.

He sneaked into Elyse's room and tip toed to her sleeping body. He combed his hair with his fingers and kissed her forehead.

"I love you so much baby girl. Please don't ever leave." He began to tear up and he heard the front door close. So he got out of the room and walked into the kitchen, seeing Harry stuffing his face with Chinese noodles.

"I bra you some" he slurped up that last and held up a box. "I didn't know if you were still awake because you didn't answer so I brought more just incase." He smiled, walking around the counter to kiss his husband's cheek.

"I love Asian food."

"I know." Harry chuckled, but stopped when noticing how shaken up Louis looked.

"What's wrong Lou?"

"I had another dream, but this one was different... It was so bad Harry." He frowned.

"What happened?"

"I, I just need to talk to El." be bit his lip and shoved some noodles in his mouth.

"Okay, love do you maybe wanna watch Today's Y&R?" Harry smirked.

"It's too early for soap operas." Louis yawned.

"Fine. Let's go eat this upstairs." Harry reached out for Louis' hand, who grabbed it and some tenseness vanished, but a lot was still there.

"Harry, do you think the kids know how much we love them?"

"Of course I do, we remind them all the time, and we always show them with our affection and happiness towards them.. why do you ask baby?"

"I was just wondering... speaking of baby, lets make one, eh?" Louis winked, Harry shook his head smiling but took off his shirt.

"If you get lucky and I don't fall asleep then maybe."
