Harry's POV
~~~~~~~~~~
Zayns finally cried himself to sleep but I stay awake holding him. I need to relish these moments as best as a I can. Just as my eyes glaze over a high-pitched scream ripped through the air. I carefully untangled myself from Zayns and head to the screams. It's coming from Nialls bedroom. I open the door and find Niall crying his little lungs out. Softly, I coo and pick him up. He nuzzles his forehead to my Chest and his little fist bang against it. "What's the matter baby boy ?" I ask softly and he cries louder. Suddenly I feel his mouth dance against my chest and I figure out what's wrong. Poor little baby is hungry. I carry him to our room and Zayn wakes up. "What's wrong ?" he asks groggily. "Ni-bug is hungry." I say and he nods. He sits up against the headboard and and lays a pillow across his lap. "Lemme see him." he whispers and I gently place him on the pillow and Zayn lifts up his shirt. Nialls cries were instantly silenced and Zayn looking fondly down at Niall. I make my way next to Zayn and his head drops on my shoulder. "He's constantly hungry babe." He says and I kiss his forehead. "That's good, then he'll grow big and strong like his daddy." I say and he's breathes a sigh. "If only you could be here to see it." I hear him mumble. "I sigh and continue massaging his scalp. Niall finally finishes and I take him back to his cot. I place a gently kiss to his forehead and go check on the boys. Louis fell asleep with his stuffed cat next to him and Liam fell asleep with his stuffed dog. After I check on the boys I head back to bed. As I slip in Zayn snuzzles into me and we sleep peacefully.
I wake up to the sound of my phone going off. Zayn groans and rolls over. I answer my phone.
"Hello ?"
"Harry ?"
"Mota what's wrong ?"
"Harry we got called by te commander and we ship out on Monday."
"What ?! that's in 2 days !"
"I know......so we leave Monday, for month training and we come back for a week and ship out on October 7th."
"Okay I'll see you later."
I can't leave so early ! Zayns and the kids are gonna be devestated ! I haven't even discussed with the kids. I walk back into our room and find Zayn sitting on the bed with a worried expression. "Your leaving Monday ?" He asks wth tears rolling down his cheeks. I sigh and nod. He then throws his arms out and makes grabby hands. I rush over and set him in my lap and cries into my chest. "Please dont leave me." he says and my heart breaks. "I wish I didn't have to baby." He continues crying and I just hold him. Zayn ends up crying himself to sleep and I end up in the kitchen to make breakfast. "Daddy ?" I hear Liam call. "Yes baby ?" I ask and turn around and pick him up. "Im hungry !" he whines and I chuckle. "Alright let get you some breakfast." I say and kiss his cheek. I put him in his seat at the table, and serve him some oatmeal. Louis joins us and I serve him as well. "Daddy ! I wanna be just like you when I grow up !" Liam says and Louis nods. "My daddy's a hero !" Louis shouts and I smile. I hear Niall cries and I bolt to his room. I rush inside and find Zayn cradling Niall and Niall having a fit. Zayn locks eyes with me and gives me a pleading look. I nod reassuringly and open my arm as Niall is placed securely in my arms. Niall squirms a bit before me calms down against my chest. "Awww my baby wanted his daddy." I coo softly ad Zayn nods. "Babe ?" I ask softly. He shakes his head and walks out. I sigh and rock Niall side to side.
"Boys, we need to talk." I say and Liam and Louis sit up and look at me and zayn. "What's wong daddy ?" Louis says. "Well baby, you know how I work as a police officer ?" I start, and they nod. "Well yesterday a man came by my office and told me that I need to go help people in a place called Afghanistan." I say with tears welling in my eyes. "But daddy that means you go for a couple of days and come back right ?" Liam says as he's starting to catch on and freak out. I pull my sons into my arms and I hug them. "I'm sorry babies, but I'm gonna be gone for a year. Liam snaps his head up and looks at me with big eyes. "Daddy, please no." He whimpers and I just hold him. Louis looks at the ground. "Lou ?" I ask softly. he doesn't react so I put my hand out to grab his hand and he jumps up and bolts into his room. I hear the foots steps run up stairs and a door slam. The tears escape my eyes and I just cuddle with Liam and Zayn.
Louis' POV (surprise !)
~~~~~~~~~~
I run into my room and slam the door. Does my daddy not love me and Li-Li and Ni-bug ? I sit in the corner and bring my knees into my chest and sob quietly. No one needs to hear me. Daddy says he needs to help people but I think h just wants to leave us. FOR A WHOLE YEAR ! I may be small but I know how long a year is. I just don't want my daddy to leave me or my brothers. Li-Li will be the most upset because he and daddy have a special bond like me and papa have. Ni-bug won't know who daddy is. Papa is gonna be really sad. I guess this a job I must take ! Man up Louis and take the job of daddy ! I will help Li-Li get through this. I'm gonna make papa happy and cheerful when he's sad. Most importantly, I'm gonna make sure Niall knows who our daddy is ! I better go tell daddy !

Wi-wi is gonna be hewped by me to get trew dis ! I'm gonna make sho papa is awways happy when he sad ! And I'm gonna make sho Ni-bug knows who yow are !" he exclaim and I smile. "That's wonderful baby." I say with tears and kiss his cheek.
*monday
I pack my stuff with Zayn attached to my waist. After my stuff is packed I sit on the bed and pull Zayn on my lap. "Baby ? Promise me that you won't shut the world out ? Please keep in contact with our parents and ed and josh please. They will help you babe." I say and Zayn nods. Suddenly he straddles my thighs and kisses me. I kiss back with passion because I won't see him for a month ! When I try to pull away Zayn grabs my neck and pull me back. I chuckle and continue. After a heated snog we pull away and rest our foreheads against each other. "Keep strong for me babe." I whisper. "Only for you." he says and I kiss his nose.
At the door I have Liam and Louis clinging onto my legs. "Ill be back in a month babies" I say and kiss their foreheads. Louis salutes and Liam smiles softly. Zayn brings Niall over to me and I gaze at my 1 month old. I bring Niall to my chest and he instinctly buries his face into it. I place my hand in his palm and he grips it slightly. I kiss his forehead and sigh. "I wish I was here to watch you for at least another month." I whisper and hand him back to Zayn. "Stay strong baby. I'll be back in a month." I say and he smiles and pecks my lips. I board the bus and we take off the the airport.
Goodbyes have never been my favorite, but it's something we all have to do at some point.
