Louis shuffles around in his mothers arms trying to get comfortable before groaning and sitting up.

"Momma" he whines burying his head into her neck for her not to respond.

Liam hears the small boys whinging before walking into the room and picking Louis up from behind.

"No I don't want you I want mummy" Louis yells thrashing in his fathers hold.

It isn't long before the boy becomes that agitated that a few tears slip from his watery eyes.

"Now now darling, daddy apologises for shouting at you yesterday but you made me very sad. Why was you acting up so much bud." Liam says softly stroking the boys hair.

"Because you don't want to see me all the time. You're just busy all time and then if I just have mummy I won't miss you" Louis whimpers throwing his head into Liam's shoulder crying loudly.

"I know baby. I'm preoccupied with work because I'm trying very hard to get all our work back on track. I promise you once the interviews and that are over I'll have a lot more time to play with you but for now just spend some time with me when you can baby" Liam soothed grabbing a red pacifier before trying to slip it into the small boys mouth who shakes his head in protest.

"I'm a big boy I don't want it" Louis groans trying to smack it out of Liam's hand.

"Ok ok" Liam laughs before slipping it into the boys mouth quickly who just gives it an experimental suck and settles back on his fathers shoulder.

"How about we go sit in the garden and I'll bring some cereal out" Liam suggests as Louis nods happily.

Louis hates to admit but when he isn't being a total brat Liam is the nicest person on earth to him. He treats him as a person and not just a baby.

"I got the chocolate ones and a bib because they're white babygrows and mummy will have my head if she so much as sees chocolate on it" Liam laughs.

Louis held back a smile as he sat on the grass, an uncomfortable feeling in his lower stomach. He experimentally crosses his legs in hope that maybe the pain would go but the constant jabbing at his stomach was becoming a problem and he decided to let out a low grunt.

"Dada, I got a boo boo in my belly" Louis whimpered to his father as he carried out the cookies.

"Oh baby, come here. Let's see what we can do about that" Liam muffled placing the cookies on the chair and picking up the small boy effortlessly.

Liam presses his hand onto louis' stomach shocked when Louis flinched a small grunt coming from his pacified lips. The desperation of the pain going was becoming intense and a small tear slipped from his bright blue eyes and slipped down his face slowly. It wasn't usual Liam dealt with tears he was usually the more authoritative figure so he dealt with tantrums so this really was a test for him.

"Oh dear dear sweet boy, I wish I knew how to make the pain" Liam soothed pressing his hand firmer on louis' stomach a little harder than last time.

"Tis goon" Louis mumbled sighing happily into his fathers shoulder.

"So baby if my assumptions were correct you have decided to have a poop on daddy hmm" he smiled kissing the small boys cheek. " cmon son lets get you changed"

He headed indoors and was shocked to see Niall sitting at the table scribbling down lyrics with a certain edge to his posture. He was hunched over which meant he certainly wasn't relaxed and that worried Liam. What could be scaring the boy so much.

"Oi, Ni what's up lad" Liam looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"This stupid fucking song" he seethed before noticing the small lad curled into his fathers shoulder "oh shit sorry for swearing..for god sake"

"Hey hey calm down now. That song doesn't have to be in for 3 months you have plenty of time to write down something when you have a little more inspiration" Liam coaxed "so how about you get to being an uncle again and go change this lads diaper."

"Yeah. Sure, maybe I'll feel a little bit better after the playing with the sunshine himself" Niall smiled taking Louis into his arms.

As much as Liam had missed the time he usually spent bonding with his son he wasn't about to hoard the boy to himself and decided instead he would explain to Sophia fully on how he has been feeling. He wasn't shocked when he found her straightening the living room from the multiple toys Louis had pulled out to keep him occupied.

"Need any help babe" he offered.

"No I'm good I suppose" she smiled back at him placing the last ball back in the ball pit.

She turned back and placed herself down on the left knee Liam was constantly tapping his foot with.

"I'm sorry for being a jerk li, I really am. If only I knew how much my motherly instincts had taken you from your own son then I would have changed. I realised too late and I really am sorry for that." She mumbled pressing her head on his shoulder.

"You just don't understand how much it hurt" Liam sighed "to have the two most important things in your life completely ignore your existence. To be told
you're hated by the child you put all your time and effort into making sure everything works for him, it's horrible. That boy is the reason I wake up in the mornings, so I know I can wake up and have a purpose. My purpose is to protect that boy and when he isn't there, what's my purpose? I don't have one. You don't understand."

"Yes you do have a purpose. You were put on this earth to make people happy" she said grabbing his face "you make me happy all the time, you treat me like a true princess and you truly don't know how grateful I am. You make your fans happy by singing and offering all your support for charities but most of all you put so much dedication into looking after our son, our baby boy Liam. You don't know how much you mean to us both. He's scared you see. That you'll enjoy touring too much without him and won't come back. He's that attached he doesn't want to lose you so he tried hard to prepare himself so it wasn't so bad if you did. But I promised him, I promised that child you come back to him. And honestly if one day you don't I don't know where that will leave us both"

A tear emitted from her eyes as she sobbed into his shoulder.

"You really mean the most to me Liam...and I need you now more than ever because I'm pregnant"
