Cupcakes, Curls & Cuddles

Chapter 14

Louis wakes up the next morning to a mop of curls tickling his face, he looks down and smiles at the curly haired boy that is curled up into his neck and his arms wrapped tightly around his waist. He cranes his neck to the bed side table next to him to read the clock, showing that it is already 9:30 am, he is surprised that he wasn't woken up by a squealing 3 year old. 

Louis decides to take the rare morning quietness to admire the boy beneath him. Louis tightens his grip on Harry as he watches the younger lad's quiet breaths, his chest rising and falling with each breath he takes. 

He moves his gaze to the boys face, raking slowly up each of his features. His gaze stops on Harry's lips, the boy has them slightly parted soft breaths coming through. His gaze trails up towards Harry's closed eyes fluttering slightly at whatever dream that is playing in his mind at the moment. He looks so peaceful Louis notices, Louis squeezes the boy a little tighter and bends down to place a gentle kiss on the top of Harry's forehead. 

As Louis pulls back he sees the green eyes fluttering open and a small smile spreads on those plump lips he was just admiring a few minutes ago. "Morning Lou." Harry whispers out voice rough from sleep. Louis can't get over the sound of Harry's morning voice, it's so deep and raspy and sexy. 

Louis can't stop the smile that forms on his face, matching the one staring back up at him "Good morning beautiful." Louis says. Harry's cheeks coat that familiar shade of pink that is reserved specifically for when Louis compliments him, he hides his face in his face in Louis neck before mumbling "time is it?" 

Louis coos at the younger lad fingers instantly finding their way into his curls loving the feeling of Harry going pliant under his touch. "9:30, I am actually surprised that Cassie hasn't come in here to wake us up." Louis chuckles. That was something Cassie has done since she was old enough to walk from her room to Louis in the morning. Louis always had to make sure that the baby gate was up on the stairs scared she would fall down them if she woke up in the middle of the night in search of her father. He would never complain about it though, he loved those few extra moments in the morning where he got to cuddle with his little girl. 

"hmmm, well maybe we should get up." Harry says his stomach grumbling in agreement. Louis coos at the sound of Harry's stomach rubbing his belly softly. "Awe is my Hazzie hungry." Louis says teasing in his tone.

Harry blushes as butterflies float in his belly. "My Hazzie" Harry whispers as a smile grows on his face. Louis chuckles and smiles down at the younger lad. "Come on my love, lets get up," Louis says making a move to sit up in the bed. 

Harry follows in suit the pair making their way down to the hall to the bathroom, where they stop to brush their teeth. Both smiling at each other through the mirror as they do. Once they are done in the bathroom they make their way to the youngest set of twins bedroom. As they open the door they are met with an empty room. 

"Weird. Maybe they are downstairs." Harry says. "They must be Louis shrugs and turns to head down the stairs, Harry following closely behind him. As they reach the bottom of the stairs Louis notices that the house is quiet, too quiet for a house that should be filled with a bunch of small children. He stops in the living room seeing that nobody is in there they move towards the kitchen. They are met with an empty kitchen and Louis is about to turn to Harry to say something when he spots a note taped to the fridge. 

Hi Louis and Harry

The kids wanted to go to the park once more before you headed home. I wanted to let you both sleep in, you looked so cozy when I peaked my head in this morning. We will be back around 11. Breakfast is in the oven keeping warm. 

Love Mom 

Louis shakes his head at the note, knowing his daughter was the ring leader of them heading to the park. "Well it looks like we have just over an hour to ourselves, want to bring our breakfast into the living room and watch some TV and cuddle." Louis suggests.
