LOUIS

It was on rare occasions that Louis woke up without his or Harry's alarm, or without their own little personal alarm, also known as Milo. But that Sunday morning it happened, and Louis was surprised when he checked the time on his phone and saw it was 10 a.m.

He looked at Harry's side of the bed thinking he had gotten up early with Milo, but he was peacefully sleeping on his stomach, even drooling a bit. So he was worried for a fraction of a second, because it was weird that Milo hadn't woken up yet, but then he remembered his sister was staying over for the weekend, so he figured she had gotten up with the baby.

Louis got up from bed trying not to move the bed too much, and he left the room, closing the door behind him as quietly as he could; he wanted Harry to get some rest, he worked hard, so he needed it.

When he reached the living room, he realized he had been right, because he found Lottie and Milo sitting on the floor, and they were playing with the baby's toys.

"Good job Milo!" Lottie was saying to the baby, who giggled at her.

Milo had finally warmed up to her on Saturday afternoon, and since then he had been acting all friendly and cute with his aunt.

"Good morning" Louis smiled at them.

"Hey, good morning" Lottie smiled back at him.

"What time did Milo wake up?" Louis asked going to sit on the floor with them.

"7 or so" Lottie replied.

"Why do you have to wake up so early, huh?" Louis asked in his baby voice while he picked up his son, who had immediately crawled up to him when he saw him "Aunt Lottie came here to visit us, not wake up at the crack of dawn".

"It's no problem Lou, I figured you and Harry needed a little break, and I've been here all weekend eating all your food and making you spend money on me, so it's my way to repay you" Lottie shrugged "By the way, I gave him breakfast and I changed his nappy, so he's good as new".

"Thanks, Lot" Louis smiled at her "But you really didn't have to repay me as you said, I've loved having you here all weekend".

"Maybe I could come back soon, then?" Lottie grinned.

"You're welcome here anytime you want, but you have to warn us, because I have to study some weekends, and we go to see Harry's mum sometimes" Louis explained "And you also have to ask for mum's permission next time".

"Don't remind me of mum, it reminds me I'm grounded" Lottie groaned.

"No problem" Louis muttered as he focused on his baby in his arms, who was trying to get his attention "What's the matter, peanut?".

"He's a very good baby, Lou" Lottie said warmly "I feel like he hasn't cried all weekend".

"I think he's been trying to impress you, because he's not usually like this" Louis said looking at his son fondly, and then he kissed his chubby cheeks repeatedly "But he's still my perfect little cutie".

"He's adorable" Lottie smiled.

"He's mine and Harry's son, what did you expect?" Louis said lifting Milo a bit above his head for a few seconds, which caused the baby to smile.
