*Louis's POV*
Harry walks into the living room while I'm wrapping presents for the other children.
"Presents!! For me, Papa!?!" Harry squeals.
"No, baby. Remember they're for the other kids? We're gonna go visit Miss Carrie and Miss Zoe and take presents to all the kids. We're gonna go to a little party for them in a few days," I remind.
"But... Do I get presents?"
"When Father Christmas comes on Christmas, you get your presents. These ones aren't for you, bub. Father Christmas has yours."
"When does he come, Papa?"
"He comes on Christmas. But you have to be asleep in bed, or he won't stop."
"How many sleeps, Papa?"
"5 more sleeps, and then it's Christmas."
Harry counts to 5 on his hand. "That's a lot of sleeps, Papa! That's too many! Why can't he come now?!"
"He's not ready to come, baby. He has to get the reindeer ready and the elves have to finish making all the toys and wrapping the presents."
Harry huffs, crosses his arms, and pouts. "Not fair, Papa..." he mumbles.
"Hey, no pouting." I set down the package I was wrapping. "Come here." Harry comes over and plops into my lap. He sniffles a little bit. "Baby, what's wrong? Please tell me."
"I wanna open presents now, Papa... I don't like waiting..."
"I know, angel, but we have to be patient sometimes. Father Christmas hasn't even come with your presents. You won't have anything to open today. But, you can help me decorate these presents for the other kids," I offer. "You can pick out the stickers to put on them. Would you like to do that?"
Harry's eyes light up at the mention of stickers. "Can, can I keep some stickers?"
"When we're done decorating you can have some of the left over stickers. Here." I hand him a sticker book with hundreds of Christmas stickers. "Put them on any of the packages you want. When I finish wrapping, I'll help you with the stickers."
"Okay, Papa."
*********************
It's been about an hour and Harry is now covered in stickers... Should have seen that one coming. Some of the stickers made it onto the packages. Liam walks in with Niall on his hip. He looks at Harry.
"I don't even want to know," he says.
"Daddy, Papa let me have stickers!" Harry says excitedly.
"I can see that."
"I put them on the presents. I made them pretty, Daddy."
"They're very pretty, sweetheart. The kids are going to love them."
*********************
It's the day of the party and we've just arrived. Harry is helping Zoe put out some of cookies while Liam helps Carrie put the presents around the tree. Niall is asleep in my arms and hopefully he'll wake up soon. I don't want him to miss the party.
"Papa! Miss Zoe said to bring you this." He hands me one of Zoe's cookies that he has clearly taken a bite of.
"I'm pretty sure Zoe wouldn't give me a cookie with a bite missing. Did you take a little nibble?"
"Yeah..." He looks down at the ground, slightly ashamed.
"That's alright, love. Here." I break the cookie in half and give him a piece. "You can have half and Papa will have the other half."
