Zayn POV

Harry hadn't lied; getting Niall ready while you got yourself ready for school in the morning certainly was a mission.

"Niall! Stop squirming!" I groaned, trying to get his arm in his shirt.

"Na!" he yelled, flailing his legs.

"Harry how did you do this?" I muttered to myself.

I finally got Niall dressed and ran my hand through my hair.

I look like shit.

I hadn't showered, I hadn't slept the night before because there's been rogues reported and I got the night shift, and when I got home Niall didn't want to sleep so I stayed up all morning singing and trying to get him to sleep.

I handed Niall to Louis, who took him happily, while I went to shower.

Why hasn't Harry woken up yet?

Doctor Carter said he should wake up soon.

But... when's soon?

Is today soon? Will he wake up tonight? Does soon mean tomorrow? Is soon Friday?

Why does it have to be 'soon'?

I was so lost in thought that I almost passed Harry's dad's house.

I stopped the car and rested my forehead on the steering wheel.

"Niall, I can't do this on my own." I said, picking him up and shutting the door behind me.

"Pa" he whined.

I walked to the door and knocked on it, soon the door flung open and Harry's dad stood there.

"Hello Mr. Styles."

"Please Zayn, call me Robin!"

"Alright R-Robin, so I have all of Niall's things, there should be enough diapers, I packed extras just in case and-"

Robin cut me off, shushing me.

"Have you been sleeping alright? You look stressed, sick and... well... dead."

"I'm fine..."

"You, mister, are staying home today! I'll call you in, you go climb into Harry's old bed. OH! I'll bring you up some breakfast! You look malnourished!"

I shrugged but walked up the stairs and down the hall to Harry's room.

I kicked my shoes off then unzipped my sweater.

I pulled back the covers and lied down, smelling the sheets.

They smelled like him. I couldn't exactly describe his scent, it was just... attracting.

Hazz, when will you wake up?

Niall needs his daddy, I can't do it myself.

Wake up Hazz.

Just... wake up.
