Louis is sat in his mum's arms, or rather standing on her lap with her arms around him, but it's all the same. The two older women are talking amongst themselves and the other adults in the room. Louis just keeps his gaze on Anne to see just what is in the bundle in her arms. He can only see a little hat, worn obviously by a baby. Louis doesn't know that though, considering he's only two years old.

Eventually though one of the mothers can tell he wants to see the mystery bundle, and Anne tilts her arms and moves some of the blanket to show him the baby. "It looks funny," Louis says out of the blue, causing all of the adults to laugh. Adults laugh at him all the time, and he's not one-hundred percent sure if he likes it, but he's got the attention span of, well, a two year old so he turns back to the smushy pink thing that wriggles occasionally.

It moves in Anne's arms, it's hands reaching up for something that's not there. And okay, the thing is stealing Louis' spotlight, but he wants it. It looks so small and tiny and he wants it. Louis just knows that it's pink and smushy and keeps making faces like sticking it's tongue out but keeping it's eyes closed. That's the face that Louis thinks is funny. Obviously he doesn't get it, but then his best friend Gemma asks him if he wants to hold the baby's hand because his skin is so soft because it's so new. Instantly Louis smiles at his best friend, so he's happy enough. It moves and makes sounds, so he's intrigued by it.

So, now Louis is sat next to Anne on the couch, peering over the bundle to look at the baby that just stares up at him. He doesn't know that he's only six days old and doesn't know what he's looking at, but it seems to be paying attention to the two year olds face that's less than a foot away. Louis has a big smile on his face, and can see the bright little green eyes. This is a good thing for him, since he likes that color. What excites him even more is when the little baby is reaching out aimlessly, because then Louis puts his small hand out for him, and it grabs his finger.

He gasps, looking up at his mum, calling out to her to show her the magnificent thing that is called a baby. She just smiles widely at him, nodding. Louis doesn't know that babies have this instinct that causes them to grab on tight to anything in their hand, so when this baby has a death grip on the two year olds index finger it's obviously a sign that he likes him.
