Chapter 14

Chapter 14-

Louis snuggled into Harry's side as he slept. Harry lay flat on his back, his left arm wrapped around the smaller boy. Two in the morning. A cry rang through the house, waking an already exhausted Louis. 

He groaned and sat up. Swinging his legs over the side of the bed, sighing as his feet touched soft carpet, he padded across the room and towards the door. There was a small convenient night light plugged in the wall; Louis took it as a blessing so as he didn't have to turn on the hall light and practically blind himself. Or possibly tear to death. 

He opened the door to the nursery across from his, cautious not to wake Jay, who was sleeping in the room just down the way.

Luca was awake and squirming in her cot. They had moved her into the nursery about a week prior. She was now a month and, Louis had calculated, one week old. 

"What's wrong, sweetie? Hm?" He picked her up, cradling her gently against his chest. "You're not wet...and you ate not two hours ago..."

Luca looked up at her father with teary eyes as she gripped his shirt in her small fist.

"Let's go see Daddy. Cuddle with him. Ok?"  He pecked her forehead.

Louis held Luca securely as he padded back to his room. Harry was sitting upright on the bed checking the time.

"She's up again," Harry yawned.

"Yeah," Louis sighed. "She's a baby. She needs a lot of attention."

Harry took Luca into his arms. "Well she seems as if she only waits, not asks."

Louis noddedand closed his eyes as he rested his head against Harry's shoulder.

"Sleep, Boo. You keep getting up for her."

"But..."

Louis was barely able to even get that out as sleep pulled him in. All he remembered was Harry's feeling arm wrapping around his waist.

When he woke up again at an appropriate time, Louis found the bed was empty. He was wrapped in a blanket, head between the crease of two pillows.

He groggily got up and walked to Luca's room, just to see that she wasn't in her cot. Curiously, he trudged tiredly downstairs to see Harry asleep on the couch, Luca resting peacefully on his chest.

"Aw..."

Louis noticed Luca's head over Harry's heart, reminding him of the comfort he got from that, and how she would fall asleep easily with his own. Or his voice. 

Niall was right.

"They've been like that for two hours, now."

Louis turned around to see Jay smiling from the doorway, dressed and ready for the day.

"How come you're dressed already?"

"I went out to the store this morning," she stated. "I got more nappies and formula for Luca."

"Thanks."

"She woke up last night?" Jay handed him a cup of tea.

"Yeah. I should be used to it by now. She does it all the time, and while I was pregnant with her, too."

Jay sighed, a faint smile on her lips. "Well, if it makes you feel any better, you started sleeping through the nights beginning at around this time. If she's anything like you, she'll be, too."

Louis sighed. "Let's hope."

"G' morning..."

Louis turned to see a sleepy, floppy-curled Harry rubbing his eyes. He had Luca in one arm, her head nuzzled on his shoulder.
