It's been another hectic morning for Louis; his day has been absolutely crazy and it's not getting any better after lunch. He's booked up until at least 5.

While he's working from patient to patient, and even through Niall following him everywhere and refusing to stop rambling, Louis' mind keeps drifting to Harry.

Today is the first day of Emma's lessons with Harry. And somehow, knowing he'll see Harry soon is all it takes for Louis to smile through this craziness that is his job.

"So, you met him on a speed date and now he's going to be teaching your daughter how to paint?" Niall is asking while he's waiting for Louis to finish some paper work.

"Yeah, that about sums it up," Louis doesn't even glance up at him.

Niall keeps smirking beside him. "I had wondered why your mood had changed..."

Louis looks back at him, "what?"

"Well, you just seem more calm," Niall shrugs before he smiles, "it's nice... I'm not getting blamed for shit going wrong for once..."

"Really?" Louis almost laughs, "Jesus."

His phone sounds; Liam is waiting for him for lunch.

"Alright, I'll be back in an hour," he sighs and gets up from his chair in his office, handing Niall the charts.

Niall nods a little, "alright, see you in a bit."

Louis picks up his keys and meets Liam in the hallway. They both head outside to his Porsche before they're off for lunch at a nearby bistro.

Liam keeps smiling at Louis while he eats and Louis is getting annoyed, "what?"

"You... your attitude is just different," Liam replies, "you seem happier."

"What? Did I not seem happy before?" Louis sighs and almost groans. "You sound like Horan now."

"Hey, I can tell a difference," Liam says, "I've known you long enough to know by now."

Louis shakes his head, his phone sounding. He smiles instantly because he knows... he just knows it's Harry.

He pulls it out of his upper pocket of his coat and his smile grows.

"How's work, Doctor? xx"

Louis almost chuckles; he's not sure why he finds it adorable when Harry calls him that.

"See," Liam points and grins slyly, "see what I mean? You're smiling... you're not usually like this..."

"I don't smile?" Louis asks in a sarcastic tone.

"Usually, no," Liam replies, "don't try to say otherwise... you've looked miserable for weeks... until you met him."

Louis doesn't say anything; he knows Liam is right. So what can he say? He knows how miserable he's been... he's been so busy being caught up in his job and his daughter that he never could see pass that.
