Moments

Chapter 7

Sierra's POV:

Later in the afternoon, Harry was sitting on the couch, I was curled up in his lap with my head on his shoulder, sleeping soundly. Louis sat beside him, with Eleanor. Niall sat across from us in an armchair, still glued to the tv. Zayn and Liam had left an hour or so before, to go pick up Danielle from the airport.

"We should get going," Louis said from beside us. 

Eleanor lifted her head off his shoulder and stood up.  "Niall, can you help me clean this up?" she asked, pointing at the mess of soda cups and popcorn on the coffee table.    

"Sure," Niall stood to his feet and stretched.

"No, don't worry about it," Harry spoke up.  "I'll get it,"

"No, no," Eleanor protested.  "You've got your hands full,"

"What's this?" Louis asked, holding up the pink teddy bear that Harry had bought me the day before.

"It's just a-"

"It's my cancer bear," I said softly, lifting my head from Harry's shoulder. 

"What a horrible name for a bear!" Louis made a face.

I stood to my feet with a groan. Harry stood up behind me and quickly took to helping Niall and Eleanor.  I stretched and reached for the bear.  "Give me,"

"What if I want to keep it?" he teased, clutching it against his chest.

"Harry!" I growled.

"Louis, give it to her," Harry turned from the kitchen and looked at his friend sternly.

"I'm just playin, love,"  Louis handed it to me and embraced me in a gentle hug. I smiled and hugged him back.  Louis pulled away and cupped the side of my face.  "You know that I adore you, right babe?  I'm so very proud of you!  If you need anything, you call me, okay?"

I nodded with a forced smile and he pecked a kiss on my nose.  "Thanks, Louis,"

"And you," Louis turned to Harry, planting a playful wet kiss on his cheek.  "You call me if you need anything too, even if it's just a simple romp in the middle of the night!"

"Ewww," Harry squealed and wiped his face.  "Gross, Lou!"

"That's not what you said last week when we-"

"Okay, everything's all cleaned up," Eleanor interupted him,  wiped her hands on her jeans and moved to me, pulling me in a hug.  "I love you, girly.  Call me, okay?"    

I nodded and hugged her back.    "I love you too,"

"Ready, Niall?" Louis asked, as he opened the door for Eleanor. 

"I'll be out in just a second," Niall replied.

"Alright," Louis closed the door behind the two of them.

"Look, you both know that I have nothing better to do with my time," Niall looked up at Harry and I.  "If you guys need anything, even just someone to come over and clean toilets, I'm available,"

I looked at Harry and started laughing.  "Nialler," I wrapped him in a gentle hug.  "I love you, thanks for coming to see me,"

"I love you too," he planted a kiss on my cheek.  "Text me, okay?"

"Speaking of texting," I checked the pocket of Harry's hoodie that I had on.  "I gotta go find my phone,"  I disappeared down the hallway.

Harry's POV:

"You better go before Louis leaves you," I said with a chuckle as he opened front door.

"When are you gonna stop pussy-footin' around?"
