Harry's POV
I heard a soft knock making me rip my attention from Louis to the door. That must be Eleanor. I looked at the baby. What if he crawls somewhere while I'm at the door?
I heard another knock. "I'm coming, I'm coming." I said holding the baby and positioning him on my hip. I walked to the door opening it to reveal a very worried Eleanor standing with millions of bags on her grip.
"It's about time! These bags weigh a ton! I feel like my arms are going to fall off." She said dramatically pushing through me to get in. I lightly chuckled at her. She turned to face me after she settled all the stuff on the kitchen table. She let a gasp escape her lips when she notcied I was holding a baby.
"Is this the baby?" She asked approaching me slowly. I nodded. I gently passed her the baby when she stretched her arms out for me to hand her the baby. "He is so cute!" She said in awe. Louis started crying as soon Eleanor started making baby noise at him. She pouted, but stopped not wanting to hear him cry no more.
"I'm sure he's only crying because he's hungry and has a full diaper." I said crossing my arms over my chest rolling my eyes. I'm exhausted! It's past 4 am and Louis is still crying. She left the door we were currently in and came back with a couple of bags.
We sat on the corner of my bed and looked through out the stuff she brought. "Eleanor, why did you bring baby wipes? We could of used paper." I said reading the label on the package of baby wipes.
"You idiot! Toilet paper will leave him a rash because it's too rough on him!" She said shaking her head annoyingly. My mouth went into an 'o' shape in realization. I spotted a big blue jar that said baby power in the middle. Now what is this for?
"Why you bring baby powder? We can use flour!" I exclaimed. I said looking at the baby powder weirdly. She groaned in frustration. "You have to put the baby powder on after a shower and after a diaper change. What do you think makes the babies smell like a baby?" She asked craddling the baby in her arms.
"I don't know? Cologne?" I asked sheepishly. She laughed. "Oh my god Harry! You're so clueless." She said giggling.
"Let's go take him a shower, and then I'll show you how to change a diaper." She said standing up with a sleepy Louis, after she was done laughing at me. "Can you bring that with, please?" She said pointing at a blue tub thingy. What does this supposed to do?
I shrugged my shoulders. I grabbed the tup still trying to figure what it does. I follwed Eleanor to the bathroom. She took the tup from me and handed me Louis. I looked at his beautiful eyes that remind me of the ocean.
I have to admit, he's a really cute little guy. I smiled down at him. I was surprised when he smiled back at me. I looked over at Eleanor, she was knealing down positioning the blue tub on the shower. "What's that for?" I asked pointing at the blue tub.
She looked up at me. "It's a tub for the baby. You can't just shower him in this big shower tub, it's dangerous he can slip and hit his head." She said taking the baby from me. I pouted when she did, he was keeping me a little warm.
She filled up the tub with warm water before taking his clothes off and sitting Louis down. He slightly shivered when making contact with the water. After a few seconds he got used to it and started giggling splashing water everywhere.
"Poor him, I'm sure it was a long time when he took his last bath." Eleanor said with a blank expression. I nodded. "Did you bring him shampoo?" I asked her. "Yeah it's right here." She said handing me a bottle of shampoo. I looked at it funny.
It was a honey color, but it was vanilla scented. I bended over. I opened the tab of the shampoo and poured some on my hands. I gently rubbed my hands on Louis hair. He seemed to enjoy it. A huge smile spread across my face as I massaged his scalp.
After a couple of minutes I rinsed the shampoo off his hair. "At least you know how to shower him." I heard Eleanor say. I can already picture her playfully rolling her eyes at me. I dried him up with the cute monkey towel that Elleanor gave me for him.
"El, I don't even know why you bought all this stuff, I don't think I'll be keeping him." I said walking back to my room holding Louis. "What you mean? You're saying you found Louis sitting in the garbage cans! You can't just take him back. Look at him! He already loves you." Eleanor said pointing at Louis.
He was giggling playing with my curls. I lightly smiled at him. I sighed looking at Eleanor. "El I don't know, I'm only 19! I want to go out partying I'm young. I want to live while I'm young. I can't take the responsibility of adopting a small child." I said shaking my head at her.
I sat at the corner of my bed already exhausted. "Harry, think about it. Give Louis the things that his so called 'parents' couldn't give him. For god sakes Harry! They abandoned him in a pile of rubbish!" She said.
If I keep him, then I'll have to be responsible and I won't be able to have the fun that I usually have. But if I let himgo, then I don't know with he will end up with. He might end up with worse people. What type of heartless people would abandon a small child like Louis?
He's adorable.
"I'll let you sleep on it. Bye Harry." She said offering me a small smile before walking out of the room. I was about to call her back. She left with out even helping me how to put Louis the diaper. I layed Louis on my bed. I guess I'm going to have to do this by my self. I walked to the bags and pulled out the baby powder and a diaper.
I walked back to him with a nervous look. How do I suppose to do this? El had mentioned something about putting on the powder after a shower. I guess I should do that. I grabbed a handful of powder on my hand and rubbed all over Louis.
I pulled back to observe my work. Louis was as white as a ghost. Is this how it supposed to be? Louis sneezed at how much powder he was covered in. He giggled after. I lifted his chubby legs up and put the diaper under him.
How do I suppose to stick this together? Does this come with instructions? I looked around the room in hopes of anything. My face brightened once I spotted the duct tape. I walked over to it and grabbed it coming back by Louis.
I wrapped the duct tape around him. That's better. Did El bring him any clothes? I rummaged through the thousands of bags until I found a pair of spongebob pajamas. I walked back to him and put them on.
Where does he supposed to sleep? I'm afraid I'll hurt him if he sleeps with me. I guess I'll take a chance. I turned off the lights before grabbing Louis and laying on my bed. I hold him tight. "Goodnight Lou." I whispered.
"Guud night dada." I heard him whisper back to me making my eyes go wide. "No. No Louis. I'm not your dada." I said but he was already asleep.
I'm not his dad.
"What am I going to do?" I asked myself before falling fast asleep.
