Don't Let Me Go (SEQUEL TO CMM)

Chapter 19

Louis' POV



"Come on Tommy please". Tom pushed the food away and Niall sighed. "Tommy please eat for dada?"


"Not hungry!"


"You've barely eaten all day!" Niall exasperated. "Please for me just eat a little bit more?"


"No!" Tom shook his head and Niall sighed.


"Have five more mouthfuls?"


"No! Not hungry!"


"You're a big boy now! You won't grow anymore if you don't eat. Remember you want to be as big as Daniel?"


"Not hungry!" Niall threw the fork and walked away two steps, running his fingers through his hair. I took the plate from in front of Tom and walked to the kitchen, putting it down and walking back to Niall, hugging him.


"It's so hard".


"What's wrong with him Ni?"


"He has an eating disorder. He picked it up from me". He sighed. "I never ate much so he said if I didn't eat that he didn't have to eat so I tried but I couldn't eat a lot so now he just doesn't want to eat and I've taken him to specialists and doctors but nothing has worked".


"What about Max?" Niall sighed again.


"He has diabetes. He wasn't healing quickly when he was getting cuts and he just kept getting sick so easily and if it was just a cold it always seemed like more than a cold so I took him to the doctors and they took a blood test and he was diagnosed with diabetes".


"I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you Ni".


"Louis stop it".


"I should've been there to help you".


"That's the past Lou. We need to just look forward not back".


"I love you". He chuckled and shivered from my breath on his neck.


"I love you too". We spent three days at the lake and then I collected all my things from my hotel, going back with Niall. Daniel wasn't so happy about sitting in the back but I suppose that's how teenagers are anyway. Niall and I haven't done anything sexual the past three days and I'm so damn horny. I can do absolutely nothing about it because of the boys. I almost forgot how hard it was to have kids and how it just fucks up your sex life.


"I love you Ni. You're a great father and you've done so well". I nibbled at his neck and he moaned. I pulled back slightly and pressed my lips to his. He kissed me back instantly and hard. I ran my fingers under his t shirt, pulling it over his head before he did the same to me and our lips reconnected, as he clenched his fingers through my hair. I moved my hands to the backs of his thighs and he jumped as I walked over to the kitchen bench, sitting him down and moving to stand in between his legs.


"Dada why you kissing Louis? And we not allowed to sit up there! I allowed to take my clothes off too?" Niall pushed me away and jumped off the bench. I looked to see Tom pulling his Tshirt off and Niall sighed.


"Tom keep your clothes on".


"But you take yours off! And Louis too!" He got his Tshirt off and let out a huff from the struggle he had. He threw it over with mine and Niall's t shirt and smiled. I noticed how his ribs ridiculously stick out and how skinny he really was.


"Tom please put your top back on?"


"No! Just like dada". Niall grabbed our tops and we pulled them on.


"Please put it on now?" Tom pouted but went over to get his Tshirt and I could see his spine and shoulder bones as he bent to pick it up. He was wearing a belt to hold his pants up, being on the last hole and they still seemed to be falling down a little. Tom left the kitchen and I walked over to Niall.


"He's really skinny". Niall nodded and looked down.


"I've tried so hard to get him to eat. I'm afraid they'll take him away from me and make him stay in the hospital. He hates the hospital and you would know why". His voice wavered slightly.


"I'll be back". I walked out the kitchen to find Tom and found him in the lounge room. "Tom? Can I please talk to you in your room?" He nodded and pulled me up to his room. He sat on his bed and I knelt down in front of him. "I've known your dad for a long time. I'm actually your dad".


"But I have dada?" I nodded and smiled.


"You called me papa". He frowned.


"Where you go?"


"I had to go away for a little while but now I'm back and your dad and I are together like uncle Harry and uncle Zayn".


"And you and dada take me home with you?" I nodded.


"When you were very little. Now Tommy I need you to be a big boy while I talk to you okay? Can you he a big boy for me?" He nodded. "Sometimes when people take little kids home, they have to make sure that they take very good care of that kid because they can be taken away".


"Taken away?" He whispered as fear crossed over his face.


"If you don't eat more Tommy, they could take you away from dada".


"But I come back?" I shook my head.


"They'll keep you in the hospital or in a home with other children until they find you a new family".


"But I don't want a new family. I want Daniel and Max and dada no one else". I winced. Ouch.


"If you eat more, they will never take you away".


"I eat and stay with dada?"


"If you eat, and put a little bit more weight on, they won't take you away. You don't want to be taken away from dad, do you?" He shook his head. "So you're going to eat more?"


"Yes!"


"That's good Tommy". Tom jumped on me and hugged me tightly.


"Thank you papa". My eyes teared up.


"It's okay bud".


"Can I eat my dinner now?" I chuckled and nodded, taking him downstairs back to the kitchen. He scoffed the food down and Niall watched, amazed.


"What did you do?"


"I told him the truth".


"Dada I like papa!" Niall let a few tears fall and Tom ran over to him, hugging his legs. "Don't worry dada. I not getting taken away anymore. Papa say I not going anywhere as long as I eat! And I eat dada!" Niall lifted Tom up, hugging him and mouthing 'thank you'. I smiled and nodded. There was a knock on the door and I went to answer it. I frowned at the stranger standing before me.


"Hello, I'm from child services and there's been a report about this house and a child being mistreated".
