———3RD PERSON POV———
A few weeks pass and Jay's condition continues to deteriorate, Harry hasn't cut since his chat with Louis but Louis began slipping back into his old ways. They're staying in doncaster and the rest of the boys have come down to help with the 6 kids and give Louis support. Liam is in charge of school drop off, Zayn does school pickup, and they both take the girls to their extra curricular activities. Niall makes the lunches and cleans the dinner dishes while Harry makes dinner along with helping the girls with their homework. Everything is working as a well oiled machine, giving Louis and Dan lots of time to be alone with Jay and when the girls are free, the boys take them to be by her side too.

Just as harry is serving up chicken pesto penne for everyone, right on schedule, Dan and Louis walk through the door.
"Harry that smells amazing" Dan inhales deeply.
"Well take a seat because it's just about ready" Harry says to both Dan and Louis.
"Haz I'm not very hungry, I just need to sleep" Louis excuses himself as he heads upstairs to their room, like usual, Harry allows it because he spends all day at the hospital sorting out legal matters with Dan, Jay and Jay's power of attorney, there's no doubt he'd be emotionally and physically drained, constantly being reminded his own Mum doesn't have long left.

After dinner, Niall is doing the dishes, both sets of twins are watching TV, Lottie is on the phone, Harry is helping Fizzy with her homework, Zayn and Liam are playing fifa in another room, Louis is in his room and Dan is in the shower. After a bit, Fizzy decides she's had enough of her homework and Harry is free to go, he decides on visiting Louis up in their room and upon walking in, sees him sprawled out, asleep on the bed with the lamp on the nightstand still turned on and his phone resting on his chest, rising and falling with every breath. Harry smirks at his angel and moves Louis' phone onto the nightstand, turns off his lamp then goes around the other side of the bed and gets in beside him. Harry traces circles on Louis chest which causes his eyes to flutter open and he turns over so him and Harry are facing each other, then intertwines their fingers.

Harry asks Louis how he's feeling about everything, Louis' been spending almost every day at the hospital and Harry can only imagine the toll it's taking on him mentally.
"Yeah you know" Louis replies but Harry doesn't know, instead he shrugs it off, looking down and picking at a loose string on the comforter.
"The day after tomorrow is Saturday" Harry changes the subject "so me and the boys were planning on going on a road trip and taking your siblings to Flamingo Land, it's less than a 1 1/2 hour drive and if we take the 2 Range Rovers we will all be able to go, did you want to come with us?" He asks.
"Yeah definitely! Any chance I get to spend time with all of them together is a blessing so I would love to come" Louis tells him and it's true, ever since he was taken away from his family at 18 years old, he's spent barely any time with his family as he's always travelling, going on tours or promoting albums and singles. He truly missed the old days and appreciated what it was like before fame, however in saying that, he loves being in the band, he just wishes sometimes he could live a normal life and walk out on the street and not have to worry about being mobbed by fans but still he wouldn't trade it for anything.

Saturday comes by in no time, Niall is sitting in the front seat on his phone as usual while he waits  for Zayn to get in the car so he can take with him Daisy, Phoebe and Fizzy. Harry is loading up both of the boots with snacks and bags and picnic blankets while Louis looks through the rear view mirror admiring him. Lottie and Liam both climb into the middle seats after clipping the babies in the back 2 seats, and sit there taking turns singing to whatever song is on the radio as they wait for Harry to get in so they can all head off.

"Why are you playing this rubbish" Harry asks as he plugs the aux cord into his phone.
"This "rubbish" is good music"!Lottie defends.
"I mean radio music is good and for gods sake our friends write it but cmon give this a listen" Harry explains as he plays the first track from Pink Floyd's the Dark Side of the Moon.
"This doesn't even have words" Liam argues.
"Liam just be patient okay?" Harry demands, "It's the kind of album that you HAVE to listen to back to back and since the drive is longer than the album that's exactly what we're gonna do" Harry smirks, glad he's the driver, meaning he has all the control over the car's functions.
