clean slate (on hold)

chapter 5

The following day Liam and Louis woke up before the boys to get ready for the day, obviously letting Harry have a sleep in because of last night.

"You know, while the boys are still asleep, now would be a good time to ring up our bosses? Sooner we do it the longer they won't wonder where we are" Liam announced while making two cups of tea for him and Louis.

"Sure, I'll get the phones"

Louis replied walking out of the kitchen to get their work phones, coming in a moment later while holding the phones. "Catch!" Liam caught his phone with a smirk. "Caught it" Liam and Louis both dialed their work places and told them everything from adopting Harry to needing time to get Harry settled, much to their pleasure work understood and let them have as much time off as they needed for a child's health is important.

Well the meaning of as much time off as they want, they meant thirteen weeks to get things sorted out and Harry settled.

Parental leave usually meant you don't get paid, but having to have an adopted child work where still going to pay them it's also known as leave pay. Liam and Louis couldn't be happier for that, but even without the leave pay it wasn't as if they wouldn't be able to afford anything, Liam after all is a highly paid bodyguard so they can afford the best, for example their house is more of a mansion than a normal house thanks to the two working so hard.

Liam threw his phone onto the sofa, smiling back up at his husband. "That was more easier than what I thought. What did I do to deserve a husband like you Louis?" Louis shrugged and closed the gap between them, their lips meeting.

The moment of course didn't last long for Zayn had walked in on them in the kitchen, seriously kids! "Ugh get a room you too! Oh and Harry is awake by the way. I didn't dare go in for I didn't want to frighten him" Louis smiled and ruffled his oldest son's hair. "Thank you kiddo. Liam you coming? Are you alright Zayn to make yourself something?" Zayn smiled.

"Na, I'm going to wait for you all so we can have breakfast together" Zayn replied sitting on the couch. "God the way you act no one would think your a teenager! We'll be down in ten minutes" Zayn nodded waving his parents out of the room.

Liam and Louis made their way to their bedroom where their small baby boy is sat in the middle of the bed, hair messed up and silent tears streaming down his small fragile face. "Morning baby boy. What's wrong?" Liam asked knowing what exactly is up for the smell hit his nose as soon as he walked into his and Louis's room.

Harry only replied with more tears flooding down his face, his body is shaking with fear. "Harry baby, your not in trouble buddy. We would never hit you for something you've done" Harry looked down at his lap which is damp and itchy. Why did he have to wet the bed, this always happened...it happened the first night his mother walked out on him and since then it happened every night.

It got that bad that he also had occasional daytime accidents as well, only occasionally making it to the potty on time.

Which has yet to happen here with Louis and Liam.

Harry was potty trained at the age of two and a half, by the time he was four and a half he was out of nappies for good both for nights and daytime. Harry just had trouble holding it when he's scared, if he's scared Harry is tended to have an accident which is mostly all the time, the times he isn't scared he would go...but then there is asking to go which he doesn't like for there is the whole talking and trusting thing.

When he needed to go potty when he lived with his supposed father, he wasn't really excused to go potty and so had accidents, therefore he got punished for it. Desmond never did anything about it, he did nothing about Harry's accidents nor did he even care, he didn't buy the boy protection or pull ups for that matter. Liam and Louis shared a look, this is Harry's what third or forth accident while being with them, something must be wrong they both thought the boy is potty trained.
