ON HIATUS || One Night Can Change It All [Larry Stylinson] (boyxboy)

6.

Louis' POV

"This is really happening Nialler." I say, taking a sip of my wine. "He just showed up at the studio. I was so fucking nervous, god. But he knows now and wants to meet Anna. What the fuck am I going to do?" I ask, frowning.

"Well, at least he saved you the trouble of having to contact him. And don't worry so much Lou. This is a good thing yeah? Now Anna has a chance to have both her parent's in her life. Not many are that lucky you know, even under these circumstances." He says and I nod knowing what he means.

My mum was a single parent with me, and I turned out fine, but I'll never know my real dad. Then she met Mark and I finally knew what it felt like to have that support system of two parents. But that didn't last long and mum divorced.

But she's happy now with her new husband Dan and my siblings won't ever know what it feels like to only have one parent. I don't want Anna to either so maybe this is a good thing.

"You're right Ni. And shit, that reminds me, I should probably ring my mum up." I say and Niall nods as I whip my phone out. It rings for a bit before she's answering.

"Lou! I'm so glad you called baby. It's been so long" She says and I smile, giggling. "Mum I Skyped you like 3 days ago." I say, rolling my eyes, Niall chuckling next to me and mouthing that he's gonna check on Anna.

"Three days too long! But anyway, how are you and my grandbaby?" She asks and I smile, thinking about how cute Anna was today after I picked her up from daycare and had given me a drawing she did.

"We're good. Anna's a little angel as usual. But I called you because I have something I need to tell you." I say, swallowing a lump in my throat. "That's wonderful dear. What did you ring me for then? Sounds serious." She says and I curse her for mothers' intuition.

"So, I uhm. Fuck this is so hard to say. I bumped into Harry a few days ago." I say, hearing a gasp on the other line. "And he knows Mum. He knows everything. He saw her and now wants to meet her. I don't know what to do mum or how to go about it." I say, wiping a tear that falls.

"Why do I only know about this now? Oh Lou. It was bound to happen some day love. You can't overthink this so much baby. Don't you think Anna deserves to know her other dad? If he knows and still wants to be in her life despite everything, don't you think he deserves that chance?" She says and I sigh, knowing she's absolutely right.

"God mum. This is the most stressed I've been in a while but you're right. I just need to know how to do this. I don't know where to start or bring it up." I say, taking another sip of my wine. "Well for starters you need to talk to Anna and tell her she's got another dad. See what her reaction is and get her used to the the idea and then maybe let Harry meet her.

You need to be patient with her too. She's only 3, almost 4 and all she's ever known is you. So she needs to get used to the thought of having another dad first." She says and I get it completely. "God. This is why you're the best mum. What would I do without you." I say, grinning when she laughs.

"You'd be a mess I suppose." "Hey!" I protest, giggling along with her. "You turned out just fine on your own love. I just guided you when you needed me. Everything you ever did was all on your own. And I'm very proud of you." She says and I smile watery.

"Thanks mum. Tell the girls I say hi and that I'll call again tomorrow or maybe we could skype again." I say, getting up and walking towards the living room. "Will do Lou. I love you hun." She says and I grin when I walk in and see Anna asleep on the sofa.

"Love you too mum." I say and hanging up when she says bye. I smile at Niall playing with her hair, then return my attention to Anna. As I look at her, small puffs of air leaving her mouth and her face the definition of innocence and purity, I know that she deserves the world.
