The family has been out and about for two hours, they didn't get back until four in the afternoon and Louis was beyond exhausted, his back was aching, he feet were aching, he had a stuffy nose and glossy eyes, yet he kept everything calm and stayed strong for the sake of his baby girl.
Louis grabbed his stomach tightly and covered his mouth, shaking his head. Harry furrowed his eyebrows and pulled out the keys to their apartment, Azriah was sleeping on Harry's shoulder with crumbs of chips on her cheek. "Baby." Harry whispered to Louis.
"I'm fine..I just feel really sick." Louis grunted out, leaning his back against the wall, "get the door open, i'm gonna fucking puke." Harry never rushed to do something for Louis so fast, he fumbled with the keys for a few times, but kicked the door open so Louis could get through.
This time he did make it to the bathroom.
He could hear Louis' loud gags and cries as he put Azriah to rest in her room, taking off her coat and boots. Harry was worried, this was the third time Louis said he felt sick today,but he played it off so well. Louis was a strong person in general, but sometimes he's not as strong as he thinks, he can deny as much as he want but Louis can't be superman always. even he had weaknesses.
"Lou?" Harry called out, grabbing a napkin and wetting it with cold water. Harry's heart started to pump fast as he walked towards their shared bedroom. "Baby?"
"I'm good!" Louis called out, sniffling afterwards and Harry rolled his eyes with a heavy huff.
Harry sat beside Louis and grabbed his face softly, wiping around his mouth and cheeks and sighing softly. "Louis what has gotten into you?" Harry sighed. Louis swallowed thickly as he started to speak.
"Food poisoning?" Louis said with a smile but Harry didn't smile back, Harry was serious, there was another thing Harry does not play about, Louis' health.
"I'm serious Lou, do we need to get you to a fucking hospital or something because this isn't normal, this has been going on for a while and it's more than food poisoning, I don't think it affects you this much..like in the mornings."
Louis bit his lip and sighed, "I don't know, it just hurts and I don't know what to do..I tried taking pain relief pills, but everything still hurts."
"You think you may be.." Harry cut the question short, Louis knew what it was anyways, and the room was silent, the question lingered into the air. Anxious.
"No..No, I can't be, Harry that's impossible." Louis started to breathe heavy, looking around frantically, "I used the pills, Harry..I can't be pregnant again!"
"Why not?" Harry asked with a light chuckle, "Babe, there's nothing wrong with an extra baby!"
"I'm not good with kids! I don't know how to fucking take out a diaper and put one back on, I don't know how to watch them properly, I almost lost Azriah so do you really think I can take care of another one!?" Louis shouted and Harry just pouted at him, Louis is being too hard on himself already.
"You'll be great, I promise. Look at you and Azriah..you're doing so well with her.." Harry smiled, kiss Louis on his lips lightly.
"I need a pregnancy test." Louis mumbled, "for confirmation only. I doubt I'm pregnant."
"Let the test do the talking, we'll get it tomorrow when I get back." Harry said.
"From?"
"I have a job, Louis." Harry chuckled, "I'm surprised they haven't let me go, I guess Luke's that good of a substitute."
"Luke is still in college right?" Louis asked and Harry nodded at him. Louis nodded back at him without a word.
"I love you." Harry whispered, out into the silence, staring at Louis' face and admiring it.
Louis looked at him again, silent and staring as if he didn't say anything. He smiled softly with a blush coating his cheeks.
"I love you." Louis finally whispered back, Harry smiled and kissed Louis' cheek repeatedly, slowly inching down to his jaw still peppering kisses here and there. Louis giggled and lifted his shoulder, trying to hide his face.
"Nooo, Harry." Louis said, dragging out the 'o' as Harry tugged him closer by his waist and kissing on his neck making Louis laugh loudly. "Harry get off my neck!" Louis chuckled, trying to swat Harry's hand away. This caused Louis to lose balance and fall side ways with Harry on top, still kissing him on his neck.
"Harry!" Louis laughed and he can feel Harry chuckle along with him as well, but that didn't stop him.
"Let me love you!" Harry squealed, leaving a big, wet, sloppy kiss on his neck and cheek. Louis grimaced and the wet feeling left on his face but refused to wipe it off, it'll only make Harry kiss attack him again.
"You're obnoxious." Louis giggled.
"Yeah?" Harry questioned, getting close to Louis' face as he nodded.
They repeated, "yeah" to each other until Harry kissed Louis softly on his lips, barely tongue involved, just brushing against each other from time to time.
Louis hummed softly and Harry pulled away slightly with Louis' bottom lip between his teeth, he let it go causing it to make a small pop sound. Harry still wanted more, he kissed Louis once again, hands beside the man's head, eyes closed, savoring his warmth.
As Harry pulled away his eyes were still closed, inches away from Louis' face, still feeling his breathing.
"Kiss me again?"
"I wanna do more than just kiss you, baby." Harry said and Louis opened his eyes, half lidded, darker.
"Show me."

Harry smiled softly as Louis lied on his chest, bare legs wrapped around his as they tangled up in the sheets, this felt surreal, what if he was dreaming? What if this is his heaven? What if he actually fell off the building, but Louis' spirit only came back because he died.
"Harry, you're fucking weird." Louis said with his eyes closed, clenching and on clenching his hands on his chest.
"What?"
"I heard you, you were doing that whispering thing to yourself again." Louis looked up at Harry with his big grey looking eyes, matching Harry's. "You're alive, I'm alive.. Azriah's real and asleep. We just made love, we're together, almost married. You're too far in for this to be some dream."
"I know. I'm just paranoid." Harry sighed out and Louis kissed him, massaging his hair as he did so, earning a pleasurable sigh from Harry.
"I. Love. You." Louis told him through each kiss on his lips, "never forget that." He said softly. Harry gave Louis a big smile, the one where it makes his dimples stand out and his eyes slightly crinkle. Louis' personal smile that he only gets to see. Oh how much Louis loves that smile.
Louis kisses Harry on his nose, earning a tired giggle from him, eyes closing, but the smile still resting on his face.
Little did Louis know, this was Harry's first time smiling as he fell asleep in three years.
