Liam's point of view

It had been 2 weeks since Niall's surgery and the boy was making progress, however we'd been advised by Niall's physiotherapist that school May not be the right place for him still as Niall is really struggling with the crutches this time round and they don't feel he's safe enough to be around loads of other children as he could get pushed down. This has been fine up until now as it's been Easter break and Louis' been home however school term starts tomorrow.

"I don't know what to do lou, he's way to young to stay home alone, my parents are back in Wolverhampton and yours are working tomorrow I mean at least your mum is home the rest of the week." I said and louis nodded.

"Look don't say I'm crazy or anything but can't you take him to work with you? I mean it's only for tomorrow as like you said my mums home the rest of the week and then hopefully Niall can return to school next Monday." Louis said and I just looked at him.

"You want me to take Niall to work with me?" I asked and Louis nodded.

"Why not? I mean I can't take him with me as if he's with me he may as well just be in his own class and that's what we've been told he can't do as there's to many kids around." Louis said and I sighed.

"He's going to be so bored lou."

"He might really enjoy it." Louis said and I nodded.

"So it's decided he's going to work with you in the morning?" Louis asked to make sure and I nodded.

"It looks that way." I said before taking Louis' hand and heading upstairs so we could go to bed.

The next morning since Niall was coming with me he needed to be up earlier than normal and that was proving a problem as the boy hated getting up.

"Come on Ni sweetie, you need to get up." I said softly running my hand through his hair.

"Why? I thought I wasn't allowed to go to school?" He mumbled still not opening his eyes.

"Your not sweetie but no ones able to look after you at home today as everyone needs to work so your coming to work with me." I said and Niall opened his eyes then rubbing them tiredly.

"All week?" He asked but I shook my head.

"No just today as nana can stay with you the rest of the week." I explained and Niall nodded before I handed him his crutches.

"Head over to the bathroom and then come back here and I'll help you get dressed.

"Dad I don't need help." Niall whined.

"Niall I know you don't like all this and not being able to be independent but you know as well as I do when it comes to your socks and jeans that your really struggle." I said and Niall sighed.

"I guess." He mumbled as he carefully got up and headed for the bathroom.

While Niall was in the bathroom I went to check on Harry as I could hear him in the playroom.

"You Okay H?" I asked walking in and I smiled seeing him dressed but his school jumper was round the wrong way, he'd clearly got dressed himself this morning.

"Daddy guess what." Harry said jumping up from his place on the floor and running over to me.

"What?" I asked him happily picking him up.

"I got dressed all by myself Papa didn't even get my clothes out for me." Harry said beaming with happiness.

"That's brilliant love, let me help you just get your jumper round the right way." I said kissing his curls and putting him down before quickly sorting his jumper out.
