Chapter 59

"I can't believe he did that." Louis says slamming the car door.
"He left us waiting almost an hour before getting one of his minions to do his dirty work and tell us that he'd left and gone home."
"What the hell did you expect Louis!" Harry finally snaps.
It's the first time he's spoken since we were all left there in Mr Beaumont's office with our mouths hanging open in surprise.
"You turn up to a meeting, that you weren't invited to attend and  then announce that you're the father of frankies baby. Yes I know you were worried about her and I also know how much you want the truth to come out, but this is about more than you Louis. It effects me too and Frankie, we were in a legally binding contract, and you know as well as I do just how tight modest make their contracts  so that you can't get out of them he isn't just going to let this go, it's not going to be a walk in the park just because you've announced that you want to play daddy."
"I can't belive you're having a go at me about this; Frankie is my main concern, i'm sick of seeing her having to do things she shouldnt have to and right now the last thing she needs is more hassle. Its about time this stupid contract came to end"
"Louis why do you think that you have the right to make these decisons for me? I love you' I really do but sometimes you've really got to learn to bite your tongue."
He stands there totally dumb founded, staring  at us as if we've both gone crazy.
"Well if thats how you feel, i'll leave you two to handle it."
He turns and starts walking away "Louis.... thats not what I meant and you know it." he doesnt acknowlege me calling after him, he just keeps walking like the stubborn, pig head version I've seen of him so many times before.

"Leave him. you know what hes like, he'll come back when hes calmed down."
Harry lightly takes my hand and leads me to the front door of his house. I know he's right, but that doesnt stop me wanting to run down the drive after Louis and make him come inside with us.

Harry an I spend the rest of the night discussing what we think will happen, we both recieved a message within seconds of each other detiling thta we were expected to be at the modest office at 9:30am sharp. I don't doubt for a second thta Louis would've got the exact same message, the thought of what could happen tomorrow makes me feel sick, the last thing I wanted was for Harry or Louis for that matter to get into any sort of trouble.
"I don't know about you but after the events today i'm more than ready for bed.
"yeah, I suppose I am too. I just wish I knew were Louis was, I hate that he does this."
"I hate that he does this to you, he should know better. silly childish strops aren't going to get him anywhere, espcially when hes going to be a father himself."
pulling me into arms and holding on to me thightly "I promise you will always have me, you can always count on me."
offering him a small smile as I try my hardest to hold back the tears "Thank you Harry"
"No need to thank me, thats what best friends are for."
We sit for a moment, neither of us saying a word, my head on shoulder and his arms wrapped around me trying to keep me safe, I honestly don't know what I would do with out him.
At least half an hour must have passed. "Harry, I think we should go to bed." Letting out a yawn he slowly nods his head "maybe thats a good idea."
he wonders around turning off the lights and locking the doors, as I make my way upstairs.
"Goodnight," I say as he approaches the top of the stairs.
"Don't worry about Lou, hes just being mardy"
"I know I just wish he wouldn't." giving him a quick  kiss on the cheek I make my way to my room.

Getting myself rady for bed I can't just leave it him thinking i'm angry or don't care, grabbing my phone I quickly type a message to him.

11:47pm
To : Louis

I don't know where you are or why
you stormed off, but I just need you
to know I love you and I appericate
what you were trying to do today,
come home soon, flump miss his
daddy and we both love you so so
much xx

As soon as I hit send tears start to fall from my eyes, I need him mre than I ever thought possiable and more than he could ever know.

Sleeping is almost impossible, I check my phone what feels like every ten minutes waiting for a reply from Louis... But it never comes, now it's almost 5AM and even though I'm tired I can't sleep, so I decide to get up and make myself a drink.
The sun is already up and the birds are singing, it looks like it will be a really nice day. As quietly as I can I make my way downstairs and towards the kitchen.
As I approach the kitchen I can hear voices. Who's in there? I hang back to see if I can work out who it is by the sound of the voices.
"I know, thing is you're not doing you're self any favors." I know that voice it's Harry, why on earth is up so early and who is talking to.
"you need to show her that she can depend on you, she needs you even if she doesn't say it. I've seen how she is without you."
Louis.... It's Louis, he must have called him. I wonder where he is.
"I know she does and I need her, I'm so scared of fucking this up."
He's here Louis, my Louis is here. Relief floods through me. I need to see him, to talk to him.
Trying to make it looks like I haven't been listening I wonder though the door to the kitchen and rub my eyes.
"Frankie, good morning." Harry says very upbeat, I look from him to Louis
"where the hell have you been? And why didn't you answer my message?"
"I'm sorry, I know I'm a dick. I went to your apartment, sat outside your door for a while and thought about things, when I got your message I came back here, when I saw all the lights off I called Harry to let me in because I didn't want wake you, and we'll we've been sat here ever since. He's filled me in on what an idiot I can be, I'm so sorry."
I'm so weak when it comes to Louis. I Want to be mad at him, I want to shout at him and tell him to stop walking out everyone things don't go his way. Instead I don't, I almost leap across the kitchen and fall into his arms, the place I feel the safest in the world.

"Baby, it's 8AM." The gentle nudge of Louis slowly waking me. "We've got to be at modest in an hour and half."
Ugh. I don't want to get up or move, I want to stay right here, my head nuzzles into Louis neck his arms wrapped around me and our legs a tangled mess.
After his late return and talking for another twenty minutes we all finally came to bed around 5:30am, how can it be time to get up already.
"Just two more minutes." I say and softly plant a kiss on his pink plump lips
"Mmm it's a good job you're already pregnant, because teasing me like that would keep me in bed and make me late for a meeting."
"Oh interesting." I kiss him again, this time letting my lips linger on his just a few seconds longer.
"Stop it you tease,"
"Me a tease." I add before kissing him once more.
"Stop it, this isn't fair." Letting out a childish giggle I fall back onto my back leaving him free to get up.
"Come on tease, shower and dressed." He says grabbing my hand and making me get out of bed.
"Okay okay bossy, I'm up."
Doing as he asks I head to the bathroom to get ready for the dreaded meeting at modest.
