Harry paced the room trying to calm Adam down while he cried frantically.Ever since he woke up from his nap he had been whiney and unsettled.For the past hour he had been crying non stop and Harry was beginning to panic. He had tried everything from playing with him with his toys to singing to him to watching cartoons but nothing seemed to behaving an effect on the screaming boy. Finally he grabbed his phone and dialed Louis. He picked up after the first ring.

'Hey Lou sorry to bother you but I need help. Adam won't stop crying and I've run out of options and I'm freaking out.' Harry paused to listen, chewing nervously on his lower lip as he hoisted the crying baby on his lap. 'Okay thank you.,' he said into the phone and hung up. Harry stuffed the phone back into his pocket and looked at Adam.The poor boy had red eyes and a runny nose and he was hiccuping while crying.

'What's wrong little love?' Harry told him sweetly. 'I wish you could tell me what you need little man. Is somewhere hurting you?' Harry cooed as he kissed his forehead which felt a little too warm. A tap on the door told him that Louis had arrived. He hurried to the door and opened it, letting Louis in.

'What is it Haz?' Louis asked him as he looked at the crying baby in Harry's arms.

'I don't know. He's been like this for almost an hour now. I tried everything and I...I don't know what to do. Should I call Val?' Louis smiled at Harry endeared by the worried look on his face.

'It's ok Harry. We'll figure this out. Don't call her yet yeah maybe he will settle down. Give him to me.' Louis took the crying baby from Harry. Harry looked like he was about to start crying himself. 'Hey,it will be alright yeah. Kids get like this sometimes. I should know having had another 6 after me. He's a little too warm. Did Val give you a thermometer or any kind of medicines just in case?' Harry went into the bedroom to fetch the bag. He opened it and found a small bag with basic medicines, some first aid stuff and a thermometer.

'Yes she packed stuff,' he told Louis. Louis sat down on the couch and began taking the onsie off the baby.

'What are you doing?' Harry asked him.

'He's too warm Haz and I need to take his temperature see if he's got a fever.' Harry nodded and watched as Louis deftly took off Adam's onsie and left him in just his nappy. He took the thermometer and placed it under the little boys arm, holding his arm firmly so he won't move it. The baby struggled against Louis' hold, crying heartily.

'It's alright baby boy. Uncle Louis will take care of you,' Louis tried soothing the baby. 'Time one minute for me Haz,' Louis told Harry.Harry looked at the watch that Val had given him and timed one minute. Louis looked at Harry's worried face and his teary eyes. He had two babies to soothe here. His heart fluttered in his chest. 'Hey it will be okay. This is very common with little kids. It could be that he was out in the sun too long yeah and he got a little feverish. We'll fix this don't worry.' He smiled at Harry , squeezing his arm gently trying to reassure him as he placed a soft kiss on the baby's head. Harry's watch beeped.

'That was one minute,' he told Louis. Louis took out the thermometer from under Adam's arm.
