52 Birthdays With Lou

age: 40

When Harry turns forty, his Mum agrees to watch the kids for a weekend, and Harry and Louis fly out to the Caribbean for a few days.

It's a peacefully calm, and refreshing to be away from crayons, and juice boxes, and car seats but Harry still looks forward to skyping with the kids every night, just to make sure they're holding up.

Louis rolls his eyes, but Harry know he enjoys seeing their grinning faces over the computer just as much as he does.

The night of his birthday is spent mostly in their hotel room, and Louis only leaves Harry alone in bed long enough to order a piece of cake from room service, returning to him and giving him present after present until room service knocks on their door.

Harry and Louis walk out to their balcony, which overlooks the ocean, wrapped in white fluffy robes, and Louis sets the cake on the glass table in front of Harry.

He doesn't know what to wish for this year, he feels like he has it all, and he voices this fear to Louis who shrugs.

"Just wish for everyone to stay healthy," he suggests and Harry nods, blowing out the candles.

But the wish is said out loud, so it can't be granted.
