clean slate (on hold)

chapter 6

When they reached Ealing Broadway Shopping Center in London Liam got Harry out and held the little boys hand as Harry stood at the side of him, nervously sucking on his thumb.

"Right Zayn have you got the bags?"

Zayn nodded and showed his dad the bags. "Good boy. Well lets go then shall we, we have a lot to do!" Liam announced making sure he had a hold of Harry's hand before walking off.

Harry looked around the big shopping center, he didn't like it...everything looked scary and all the strangers walking past made him nervous. Liam looked down as he felt something...or rather than someone hit his leg. Looking down he realized that it is Harry. "Come here buddy. You don't like crowds do you?" Harry shook his head and laid his head on Liam's shoulders, his thumb solidly in his mouth.

The others saw the scene and couldn't help but let out a few 'Aww's" Harry truly is a cute little boy and knows how to pull at peoples heart strings, especially theirs. "Right first stop, to Argos to order a bed. Might as well get the most boring things done first" Louis announced rounding them up and heading for Argos.

In Argos Niall and Zayn headed for the display unit which is advertising the newest toys available. They knew not to nag for things so they are quite happy to just look and sometimes touch.

besides today is Harry day.

Meanwhile Liam and Louis went over to the touch pads to find a bed for Harry. Liam stood at a touch pad and lifted Harry in front of him so Harry is stood between his legs in front of the table. "Stay there Harry buddy. Remember to tell Daddy or Pappy if you need to go potty. We have no change of clothes for you so you need to tell us. Okay baby boy?" Harry nodded and sat between Liam's legs, eyes peeping through the older mans legs to see what his brothers where doing, thumb firmly in his mouth.

Harry lent his head against Liam's leg as he watched his brothers look at toys. Harry couldn't believe it....today is his day....his day to get what he needs. Maybe he could get a cuddly toy like he used to have before everything got taken away from him....literally his father came in one day drunk off his rocker black bag in hand, that day all of Harry's things where thrown away...gone....even Mr Cuddles.

"Right, so he'll need something with sides on so he won't fall out of bed" Louis thought out loud already typing in the search box on the touch pad. Harry like a good boy stayed where he is even though he is getting restless he wouldn't argue for he doesn't want to get in trouble.

Louis ducked down to get Harry's attention. "Harry, do you have a favorite superhero or something you like?" Harry thought about that, it's been so long but he could recall liking the avengers especially Spiderman. "Uh-huh" Harry answered shyly and hesitantly. "Can you tell us then baby? Pappy's legs are hurting crouching this low haha" Harry looked down messing with the hem of his shirt. "The Av-aven-avengers! an 'piderman!" Harry more a less talked down to his lap, but that was enough to make Louis smile.

"I like them too. Thank you big man" Harry nodded although Louis could see a smile try and take over the boys face.

Louis and Liam searched for another five minutes, them both wanting to get the best for their little boy. "Hey look babe, this seems like just the thing for him" Liam looked over and smiled. Indeed it seemed just the thing for their little Hazzabear.

It indeed is perfect. "That's perfect. Order it and we'll keep it a secret for him" Louis nodded and set it up for order seen a so it's too big of a package to fit in their car along with the five of them and everything else for Harry they where getting. "Right I'll go order and I will meet you all in pound land where we can get the pacifiers, sippy cup and other little bits" Louis decided so everyone isn't waiting ages for him.
