Chapter 56
{Harry}

Harry pushed his hair back, letting out a cough into his fist. Liam was singing now.
It was when the tone of his voice changed that Harry glanced at him.
Tight like us
Did they ever fight like...us?
Liam was staring wide-eyed at something behind him. Harry whipped his head and his lips parted in surprise. In the shadow of the lights, halfway hidden, Zayn was crouched on the stage. Someone else was with him and if it wasn't for the blonde hair, Harry wouldn't have guessed that it was Lux. The youngest lad realized a few seconds had passed and he scowled as he sang his part.
Liam coughed, trying to cover up his previous tone in the solo. Out of the corner of his eye, Harry noticed Louis empty his water bottle in big gulps. The lad had his eyes trained on Zayn, and he tried to subtly walk over. Harry tilted his head to watch Zayn as his solo ended, but the toddler had slipped away. Louis groaned, grabbing a water bottle. He walked over and talked to Mike on the stage.

As soon as You and I finished, the first thing Liam said to the boys was, "Where the hell did he come from?"
"That was dangerous, he shouldn't be on here." Niall said, fixing his guitar strap.
The beat of Little White Lies began to play and Harry fixed his earpiece. "Let's just focus on the show, and then we'll have a talk."

"He's probably overwhelmed."
"I can't believe they actually went up to the stage."
Zayn groaned, gagging at the horrible bitter taste in his mouth. Someone picked him up and he froze. He glanced behind him to see Lou leading him towards the sink. After washing his mouth, she set him down again and Zayn wiped his mouth.
"Care to explain what you were doing up there?" Lou said sternly to Lux. Lux smiled sheepishly. "We wewe playing!"
"Not on stage, Lux." Lou groaned.
Zayn trudged towards the couch and climbed on it, lying down. The baby crawled over to him and poked his eye. Zayn frowned. "Shtop, my head huwtsh. Jayn can hew shcweaming."

The baby poked his other eye and giggled. Zayn tried not to smile, but he ended up doing so. He glanced up to see if Caroline was watching. When he saw that she wasn't, he poked the baby's cheek. Zayn giggled, sitting up and crossing his legs. He leaned forward and tried to pick the baby up, but boy was she heavy. Zayn carried her halfway up and plopped her down beside him. The baby grinned, poking his arm. Zayn poked her arm back. They played pokey for a while until the baby grew uninterested and instead climbed onto Zayn's lap. Zayn played with her soft hair, feeling better as the minutes passed. He felt less bilious, and the ringing in his ear had died down.
"This is the second time Lux, you have to stop it."
"Okay mummy, am showwy." Lux climbed up on the couch beside him. She smiled at the baby. "Hey Bwooklyn!"

The baby, Brooklyn, grinned at her. Zayn pouted as she left his lap to go over and sit in Lux's instead.
"You two dears are going to stay here now and watch the concert from here." Caroline told them, pointing to the tv that hung on the wall.
Zayn glanced up to see Liam spin the microphone in his hand before bringing it to his lips and singing. "Is dish wowk?" he asked curiosity.
Lou picked at her fingernails and laughed. "Yeah, this is their work."
"Jayn want'sh to wowk like them!" He grinned. "Shing evewyday!"
"Me too," Lux said. She lifted Brooklyn's hand up. "Bwooklyn twee!"
Zayn watched the screen a little more, legs swaying in beat with the music. He wondered where the banana was, he wanted to eat it now.
As if reading his mind, Lux nudged his arm with the packet of strawberries. "Shtwawbewwiesh awe nam."
Zayn nodded in agreement and popped another one in his mouth.

Harry breathed heavily as he walked down the steel stairs, his body buzzing. Mike handed them a towel, and he thanked him as the four of them made their way to the dressing room. When they stepped inside, a sleepy Lux bounded over to them.
"Hyah Hawwy." She gave him a little hug, and Harry smiled, lifting her up. "Hey Lux."
The stage thing came to mind and he gave her a look. "Were you onstage today?"
Lux's lips parted in surprise, and she placed her hands on her eyes. She then pulled them back and grinned, "Peekaboo."
Harry chuckled. "Not gonna work this time princess."
He tickled her tummy, and her loud squeal sounded through the air. He kissed her cheek and she pushed his face away. "Yuck."
"Hey, it's only sweat." Harry argued, and Lux eyes widened.
He laughed as she squirmed to get out of his grip. "Ew, Mummy!"
"Harry's being a meanie again, huh?" Lou asked, chuckling.
"Yes." Lux stated and Harry laughed, setting her down.
