Liam's point of view

"What was that?" Louis asked me sitting up suddenly.

"What was what?" I mumbled trying to ignore Louis who had quite an imagination when he heard noises during the night.

"That sound?"

"How am I meant to know, just go back to sleep it's probably outside." I said hoping he'd leave it their.

"Li there it is again." He said to me and I had to admit I'd heard something that time as well.

"Alright, Alright, I'll go and see what's going on." I said with a huff as I got up and headed out of our room almost instantly bumping into Harry.

"Harry? What you doing love? It's too early to be awake."

He jumped hearing my voice obviously not expecting me to open the door and I guided him back to his room.

"What's the matter sweetie?"

"Hot, and my head hurts." He mumbled and I nodded flicking his bedside light on and that's when I noticed how flushed he was.

"How long have you been feeling like this?" I asked seeing that his fan was on full blast and his duvet was kicked on the floor.

"Ages daddy, I can't cool down." Harry said curling himself into a ball on his bed.

"Alright Baby, Why didn't you come and wake us sooner?"

"Cause you already have Niall sleeping with you." He mumbled looking up at me and I sighed lifting him onto my lap and that's when I realised just how warm he was. I instantly placed my hand on his forehead and then wasted no time in placing Harry down on his bed and ran into the bathroom to grab Harry some calpol, the thermometer and a damp washcloth.

"Look at me sweetie." I said and Harry did as said before I asked him to open his mouth, which he did but he struggled to hold it in place so I held it for him.

"You know even if Niall is with us that doesn't mean that you can't join us as well." I said to Harry who just nodded while rubbing his eyes.

"Alright your way too hot." I said to Harry once the thermometer beeped and I saw that his temperature was 104.1.

"Let's go downstairs, it's cooler down their." I said lifting him onto my hip and grabbing the other things before heading downstairs.

"Let's get you out of these clothes." I said to Harry first and he nodded letting my get him out of his pyjamas so he was left in just his underwear.

"Daddy I feel sick." Harry mumbled then and I quickly ran off and grabbed the sick bowl.

"Can you take this medicine love, it should help with your headache and cool you down some, if we can't get you cooler we're going to have to go to the hospital." I said to Harry and he just opened his mouth for the medicine.

"Good boy." I said before placing the washcloth on his forehead.

"What's going on?" I heard Louis ask then as he appeared.

"I'm worried Harry might have heat stroke, probably been brought on from spending all day today on the beach." I said as id seen Harry was quite sun burnt in some places.

"Isn't that dangerous?" Louis asked sitting down next to Harry and pulling him onto his lap before putting pressure onto the washcloth.

"It can be, his temperatures 104.1 so I'm trying to cool him down but if it doesn't work and it's not below 104 when I check in an hours time he's going to have to go to the hospital as it can damage his internal organs." I said running my hand through Harry's curls as he whined and whimpered before I ran off to get another washcloth.
