Don't Let Me Go (SEQUEL TO CMM)

Chapter 2

Niall's POV

"Dad?" The faint sound of screaming rang through my ears. "Dad? Are you okay?" I opened my eyes slightly to see I was on the couch and Daniel was crouched next to me. "Dad?" The screaming sound increased and I frowned.

"Daniel what-" I sat up carefully, my head feeling heavy. I almost fell back on the couch but Daniel caught me.

"Dad what's wrong?" I shook my head.

"Nothing. I need to go get your brothers". I got up and almost lost my balance.

"Dad you need to sit down".

"No! I can't I need to check on the bo-"

"No dad. You're going to sit down. We need to take you to the doctors".

"Daniel I'm fine! Just let me go-"

"Dad stop it. Sit on the couch". I just obeyed him and soon the screaming stopped. How could I not hear that? How could I not have heard those screams calling for me? "Dad why was Max's door locked?"

"I can't believe I didn't hear them".

"I'm going to call dad".

"No! Daniel don't".

"He needs to take you to the doctors".

"I'll ring Liam". I got my phone out of my pocket and Daniel snatched it from me.

"You need to stop dad. I'll ring someone".

"So Mr. Horan, you passed out from exhaustion. You need to rest for the next few days, don't put a lot of stress on yourself".

"But I can-"

"Thank you". Harry interrupted and pulled me out of the room.

"Harry I can't rest! I need to take care of the boys an-"

"Niall. You need to tell Louis to start helping you a bit. This isn't good for your health. Stop letting him get away with this".

"He's busy-"

"Niall stop. You passed out from exhaustion today! Do you know what that means!? You're pushing your body too much!" He sighed and started to drive back to my house. "Just talk to Louis. I know it's not easy with confrontation, I struggle to confront Zayn with things, but eventually I feel better once I do. Darcy isn't exactly the easiest thing to deal with and I know you have three kids but you need to talk to him. Please talk to him?"

"Okay. I will tonight if he even comes home".

"I'm sorry Niall. I wish I could help you but with Zayn and Darcy and the adoption I-"

"It's fine Harry".

"Niall I'm worried about you. I don't want you...I don't want you to end up the way you did when we got back from Australia 7 years ago. I don't want to see anything fresh on your arms, do you hear me?" I nodded. "Do you want me to stay with you until Louis gets home?"

"Nah. I'll be fine". I opened the door and got out. "Thanks Haz".

"All good Ni. Just talk to him". I walked in and heard screaming and Daniel letting out a frustrated groan.

"Daniel? What's wrong?"

"They won't stop screaming for you!"

"Papa! Papa! Papa!" Max continued to cry out.

"Max wants your dad not me". I picked Tom up and help him close to me as he began to calm down.

"What did the doctor say?"

"I'm fine. There's nothing to worry about".

"Dad, what did the doctor say?"

"He said I passed out from exhaustion".

"Dad that isn't good!" I sat down with Tom. "What did Max do?"

"He hit me and Tom. I almost fell and dropped Tom because he hit my bad knee".

"But why did you close Tom's door?"

"I don't know!"

"Hello? I'm home!"

"PAPA!" Max screamed out, running towards the front door.

"Hey Max how are you?"

"No good! Dada locked me in my room!"

"Why did he do that?" They got closer and I started to freak out. He walked in the kitchen, Max sitting on his hip with his bottom lip sitting out in a pout. "Niall? What's wrong?" He frowned at me and put Max down, who tried to protest but failed. Louis instantly was at my side and touched the back of his hand to my forehead. "You look pale. What's happened?"

"He passed out today from exhaustion! That's what happened! It wouldn't have if you would be home more so this is your fault!"

"Why did you lock Max in his room?"

"I just told you your husband passed out from exhaustion and you're worried about that!?"

"Let's put them to bed and we'll talk". Louis whispered.

"Can you please do it Lou?" He sighed and nodded, taking Max and Tom upstairs. "Daniel, can you please go up to your room now? You don't have to go to sleep just go up there". He looked hesitant. "Please Daniel? This doesn't concern you. Just please?" He nodded and walked up the stairs, shutting his door. I walked up the stairs, making sure all the lights were off down stairs and into out room, waiting for Louis. After 10 minutes, Louis came in and say on the bed next to me.

"Babe what's going on?" He asked softly.

"Why aren't you home anymore?"

"What?"

"I-I...it doesn't matter. Max hit Tom because Tom knocked over his blocks and I told him off then snapped at Liam and said shit and then Max hit my bad knee and I almost fell and dropped Tom so I took him to his room and locked him in there. But then I put Tom to bed and for some reason I closed his door and then I passed out on the couch and they were both stuck in there and oh my god I'm a horrible father! I locked my kids in their rooms for hours what have I done!?" I felt his arms wrap around me and pull me into him.

"Shh, you're not a horrible father. You're the best dad any child could ever have, you hear me!?" He lifted my head via my chin to look up at him. "Hey, I love you". I let tears drop from the corners of my eyes as he pressed his lips to mine in a slow, sweet kiss.

"I love you too". I murmured against his lips.

"I'm sorry I've left you alone so much. I'll take the next few days off and help you I promise".

"But Lou, you love your job".

"Not if this is what it's doing to you. I'm so sorry baby. How's your knee?"

"It's sore". He smirked and lightly ran his fingers up my leg, inching closer and closer to my slowly growing erection. I gasped as he led to my inner thigh and he smiled to me, kissing my neck softly then nibbling down. I held back a moan and he cupped my bulge, making my breath hitch. He moved his hand up and down and I wriggled under him, desperate for our skin to touch. "Lou". I pulled his t shirt off and he pulled mine off, leaving us in our pants. He hovered over me and pushed his crotch to mine creating friction which made me buck my hips into his, making him gasp. He kissed down my chest with wet kisses and pulled my pants and boxers down, flicking my tip with his tongue. "Lou please". I clenched my fingers through his hair.

"Dada?"
