Love is Blind (Larry Stylinson AU)

Chapter 27: Late Night Mishaps

A/N Hello! Thank you for the great feedback on the last chapter! Much appreciated! I hope you all enjoy this one very much, it quite dramatic! :)

After leaving the hospital, Liam and Danielle invited everyone over to their house. At the moment they were spread out around the living room, talking aimlessly about absolutely everything. Jeremy and Annalise shared the leather love seat while Harry sat on a black bean bag chair next to a three person couch where Danielle and Liam sat. Hana sat in her wheel chair next to Harry with a sleeping Ariel cradled in her arms.

'And when I reeled my line in, there was the biggest fish i've ever seen! You wouldn't believe what we found inside the fish when we cut it open.' Liam was in the midst of re-telling a fishing story when Harry's phone rang. He quickly apologized for interrupting before answering the phone. As he did so, a babies cry was heard; the ringing phone having woke up Ariel. Harry left the room with his phone in hand before he could further disturb Ariel. He didn't even wait for voice control to come on before he answered.

'Hello?'

'Hey. It's me. Listen, i'm coming to town in a few days alright? We really need to talk. I would come sooner but I have to help Niall and Zayn with some baby stuff.' Harry recognized the voice as Louis, making him smile as he did so, although he was slightly worried about Louis's tone.

'Louis...should I be worried?' Harry asked with caution. There was a moments hesitation before Louis responded.

'No don't worry. It's just something I want to tell you in person. I'll see you in a few days alright?' Louis said beginning to end the call. Harry could tell something wasn't right, but he let it slide this time.

'Alright, I love you Lou.' Harry said, smiling into the phone. He heard Louis sigh on the other end.

'I love you too Harry.' Louis's voice cracked so he hung up the phone quickly before Harry could further question him. Meanwhile Harry held the phone in his hand in confusion. He didn't want to call back though, not wanting to push Louis. Besides, he would see her in a few days.

Harry's attention was brought back to reality when he heard Jeremy coughing from the living room. He quickly put his phone back in his pocket and returned to the room, Jeremy still coughing. 'Hey Jer you alright?' Harry asked, walking over to Jeremy's side.

'Yeah i'm fine, still just a bit sick from the other day. No worries.' Jeremy reassured everyone but Annalise hopped off the couch to press the back of her hand to Jeremy's forehead. A frown appeared on her face and her forehead creased with worry.

'You're heating up. I'm taking you home.' Annalise said, taking Jeremy's arm to pull him gently off the couch but he shook his head.

'Babe i'm fine.' Jeremy stated with a smile that was convincing to anyone else but not Annalise.

'Don't.' Annalise scolded and held up a finger to him, making him nod his head and stand up without an argument. 'Well thank you for having us at your lovely home! It was lovely meeting you both.' Annalise shook both Liam and Danielle's hand and then waved at Ariel who was now awake on Hana's lap. Ariel giggled and flashed a smile at Annalise.

'That's my cue to leave as well. I thank you as well for inviting me here.' Hana lifted Ariel off her lap and gently placed her onto the carpeted floor. As soon as Ariel's knees touched the carpet she screeched and held her arms back out for Hana to pick her back up. Hana pouted at the girl but wheeled her way over to Liam and Danielle to shake their hands as Ariel began to wail.

'Awuh, she likes you.' Danielle cooed with a smile. Hana chuckled and waved to the little girl who only cried. Harry quickly swept her off the ground into his arms and pressed kisses all over her chubby cheeks. She instantly forgot why she was sad and started giggling instead. 'Harry are you staying or leaving?' Danielle asked him. Harry gave a few moments thought before answering.
