Second Chances (ON HOLD SORRY)

Chapter Three

I woke up at nine thirty the next day. Brooklyn had a rough night last night. She didn't understand why her daddy couldn't stay with us like all her friends daddy's do with there family. I went in and checked on Brooke who was surprisingly still sleeping. I took this as an opportunity to get ready, as Louis said he would be over at 11 with the boys.

I got in the shower and thought over what Louis told me right before he left. I didn't know if he was saying it because he wanted to get back with me, or if he really meant it. I for one was very confused. I finished up showering, got out and dried off. I dressed into a pair of skinny jeans, and a cute sweater. Since it was winter and I couldn't wear shorts. I brushed my hair and added a braid. I applied little make up.

I left the bathroom to go once again check on Brooke.I went into her room to find her still sleeping. I leaned over and picked her up out of her crib. I held her as she got situated on my chest still sleeping. I picked out her outfit while she slept. I picked her out a pair of jeggings and a ruffled purple top.

"C'mon Brookie babe it's time to wake up, you have a big day to day." I said lightly bouncing her in my arms.

"I don't wanna get up." She protested. (hehehe, jimmy protested)

"I know what you do want to do though." I told her

"What!" She said picking her head up staring at me with her blue eyes that she got from Louis .

"To see your Daddy." I smiled.

"Yeah I do!" She started jumping up and down in my arms.

"Okay, well lets get you dressed, some food in you, and it almost be time for daddy to come."

"Okay great!" I set Brooke down and stripped her out of her pajamas. I helped her put on her clothes. I brushed out her hair, that she wanted left down. "Like mommy" she said, so I did put in a braid just for her. I brought her down stairs, and we both had breakfast. It was almost eleven, so I just let Brooklyn watch some tv.

From: Louis Tomlinson

Heyyy! We are almost there! The boys are stoked to meet their niece and you! I'm excited as well, just more excited than them! See ya soon, love ya xx Louis.

I smiled at his text. I walked in the living room to join Brooke. She was perched on the couch zoned into the tv.

"They are almost her sweetie." I finished my sentence, and the door bell rang. Brooke looked at me, eyes filled with excitement.

"You can go get it." I smiled at her assuringly. She hopped of the couch, fixed her shirt, and ran over to the door.

"Who is it?" She called, reaching up and grabbing the doorknob.

"It's daddy baby, and your uncles!" She giggled at their response and looked over at me. "Go ahead" I whispered. She when swung open the large door and held open her arms.

"Come in! Welcome to my home." She said proudly. The boys chuckled at her greeting and came in. Brooke shut the door behind them.

"Come sit down." She made a gesture to the large L shaped couch that I sat in the corner of.  

Louis came in with a beanie and his shades on as he introduced me to the other boys before he sat down. I gave them all a hi,as the returned the greeting. He then sat down next to me. Brooke still standing in the middle of the floor.

"Your quite the little host." Niall laughed.

"Why yes I am, Uncle Ni." She returned defending herself.

"She knows my name?" Niall smiled.

"Yup I do." She the started to ramble off the other boy's names. "Your Uncle Li, your Uncle Zayn, and your Uncle Harry ." She smiled confidently. Then she climbed up on Louis' lap and hugged him.

"And your my Daddy." She smiled.

"Aren't you going to tell us your name?" Liam asked.

"Oh! I'm Brooklyn Grace O'Donald-Tomlinson!" She cheered.

"Woah! That's a big name." Harry told her.

"Mhm, Yep, I have two last names cause Mommy said it was her's and Daddy's last names and she said I needed them both. Cause I'm a part of my Mommy and I'm apart of my Daddy." She nodded, after she finished giving the boys the lesson.

"That's right Brookie!" I nodded in agreement.

Louis POV

It felt great sitting here with my family. My family. I liked the sound of that. Only if Elizabeth would starting dating me, but I understand where she is coming from.

"I'll be right back." Lizzie said sliding off the couch, once she did I took my chance and smacked her bum. She turned back at me and blushed and went to one of the rooms down the hall. I brought my attention back to the Brooke, who stared at me and shock.

"Daddy, you do not slap my Mommy's bum. That's not nice." She scolded me, while pointing her little finger at my chest. I tried to hold in my laugher along with the boys.

"I'm sorry honey, will you forgive me?" I asked her. She then folded her arms across her chest.

"Not until you say sorry to mommy." She sternly said, and then the boys had lost it and started laughing. Liz then came back in and sat where she was previously sitting.

"Say it Daddy." Brooke said sternly. The room was quiet and all eyes were on me.

"What's going on." Liz asked dumb founded.

"Say it Daddy." Brooke repeated herself. I looked over to Liz who looked back at me.

"Lizzie, I'm sorry for smacking your bum." I told her and she blushed.

"That's okay Louis."

"Good boy Daddy! You apologized! I forgive you!" She cheered, giving me another hug. Lizzie laughed. We all hung out for a couple hours longer. We ordered pizza, and watched movies. To me it seemed that the boys and Lizzie were getting along very well. Even Brooke was enjoying the boys company. She bounced around sitting on all of their laps. It was about 1:30 when Brooke started yawning. She was on my lap, so I was the first to notice.

"Are you getting sleepy love?" I asked her and she nodded her head and crawled over to Liz and snuggled into her chest.

"I'll be right back" she smiled picking up Brooklyn and caring her to her room. I hopped up and followed them. I stood next to Lizzie as she put Brooke in her crib.

"Love you baby, have a nice nap okay?" Lizzie whispered to Brooke.

"Daddy loves you too." I smiled, earning another smile from Liz. We then walked out of the room and stood in the hallway. I grabbed both of Lizzie's hands and held them in mine. I could tell she was nervous by the way she let her hands lay in mine.

"Elizabeth, I know this is kind of soon but I was wondering when I come back? I don't think I could handle anymore of these couple hour visits, I don't want to miss out on anymore of Brooklyn's life than I already have. I made a terrible mistake. " I whispered.

"A week from today, you can move in and stay in the spare room. Is that okay?" She whispered back.

"That will be wonderful. I can't wait." I started to lean in for a kiss but she quickly pulled way pulling her hands away from mine.

"No Lou, not right now, we can't just jump back into a relationship after you have been gone for so long." She confirmed.

"I'm sorry Lizzie I just missed you." I smiled. To my surprise Liz leaned in and gave me a hug, and when she pulled away she whispered into my ear.

"I've missed you to we've just have to work on things." She then kissed my cheek, and took off down the hall to continue visiting with the boys. Leaving me in the hallway shocked.
