daddy's little one ≫ l.s

2. shy baby and mean baby

"hi loubear.."

"hi daddy.."

harry was crouched down next to louis on the floor, watching his little one coloring and drawing with his favorite markers as he mindlessly sucked on his dummy. it was the cutest sight to see louis wearing one of his big sweaters, sucking his dummy, and wearing a nappy. his baby was so perfect.

"what're you doing, pumpkin?" harry cooed and knelt down next to louis to get to his eye level.

louis shrugged in response and kept coloring, humming quietly to himself. " 'm dwawing.."

"you're drawing and coloring?"

"uh-huh.."

there was a small and awkward silence between the two before harry finally spoke up.

"...you're bored, aren't you, boo."

"uh-huh." louis pouts, puffing his chubby pink cheeks out.

harry sighs and puts his finger up to his chin in thought as he looks up at the ceiling, making louis giggle a little at the sight, then he snaps his fingers. "daddy has an idea, baby!"

louis' eyes light up in curiosity and he spits his dummy out. "what, daddy?" he asks excitedly.

"you remember daddy's friends, niall and zayn, right?" harry asks, watching louis nod in response. "well, zayn told me yesterday that he and niall like to do what we do, and niall's a little baby just like you. how about daddy asks zayn if niall can have a play date with you today?"

louis' face immediately softens, looking away as he gently grabbed his wrist and hung his head down, his fluffy hair covering his eyes.

harry frowns a little bit at the sight. "aw, boo, it'll be okay...i know how shy you get when someone comes over to visit, but i know you'll love to play with niall. plus, he's still really new to being little like you, and he might be shy, too." he coos and gently lifts louis' chin up with his thumb and index finger. "promise daddy you'll try to have fun with niall today, okay?"

louis stays still for a few seconds before nodding in response. "yes, daddy...louis promise..." he says before popping his dummy back in his mouth.

"that's my boy..." harry smiled and kissed his cheek. "okay, let's go have breakfast and get you dressed for the day." he says as he picks louis up, holding him on his hip and his arms under his bum for support. "do you want to eat or get dressed first, baby?"

"um...bweakfast, daddy. wouis' tummy wumbling..." louis whines as he tugs on harry's shirt, his cheeks slowly turning red as his tummy rumbled again, making him hide his face in harry's chest.

harry giggled and kissed louis' head. "you're so cute when you're shy, boo...okay, we can go get you breakfast now..." he said as he started tickling louis' little pudgy tummy, smiling as his baby exploded into a fit of giggles and squeals.

the two quickly ate their breakfast, chocolate chip waffles with whipped cream and strawberries by louis' request, and went back upstairs to find clothes to wear for the day. harry had sat louis down on his bed as he looked through the closet to find an outfit for him. "do you want to wear your overalls today, loubear?" he asked as he kept looking through the piles of clothes.

"yes, daddy! louis like overalls!" louis giggled as he bounced a little on his bed, holding his sippy cup that was still filled with apple juice from breakfast.

"louis, what did daddy say about bouncing on the bed after eating?" harry said immediately after hearing the springs in louis' bed squeaking, turning his head to see louis looking as innocent he can be as he started drinking from his sippy cup.
