Fixing you |~| louis Tomlinson

Afterglow

Sophia's point of view
It is now 5.30pm and the party has died down just a little and not many people are left barring the younger children who have taken great joy in taking over half the room. Liam has been spending so much time in trying to make Louis go on the bouncy castle on his own However every time he sets him down he just cries and demands to be picked up again, it's rather cute how Liam just obliges to the boys commands and sits with his legs open Louis in between as they sit and play with the small plastic balls that are being thrown around. I do have a great adoration for Liam he is so willing to throw his hands into any parental activity going and sometimes his over eagerness sends Louis into a bit of a Franzy not very pleased he sometimes isn't allowed to explore as much as he likes. I was thinking about maybe potty training him soon, it would be a new focus for him and the praise may make him feel a little bit more at ease about still being loved by us both. The news was broken to him as soon as he woke up and funnily enough he was rather content with the news he was going to have a little sister with the claim he was only mommas boy. It's not long before my back aches from the large chair and I pull out my phone seeing if Liam was going to go out later to celebrate the news and his text confirmed he was indeed going out with a few of the lads so I would be taking Louis home with me. I felt rather guilty breaking Louis' fun when he looked like he was rather enjoying himself looking back every so often and asking for a kiss on the head from Liam then laughing when he did. He really is such a bubbly character and I just love it. I adore his adorable laugh when you tickle his tummy and his goofy teeth when you get him to smile for a picture. He truly is a gem. By now I am pretty much on my own considering most of my friends have children of their own and am at a loss of what to do really.

"Erm soph, couldn't happen to do me a massive favour could you" Niall asks walking over with his puppy dog eyes.

"Go on" I sigh already expecting what he will say.

"Well obviously you're having a baby and me and the lads wanted to go out and celebrate with Liam so I did ask if Jenna could take Casey home with her tonight but she has a late night course apparently so she can't. Would you be able to manage another baby for the night."

"I mean I have to take Louis anyways but I'm not staying up all night with your kid like you do ni" I laugh back.

"No course not she knows she has to go bed early if she wants to go for ice cream tomorrow so she won't be a hassle. Do you want me to fasten her car seat in your car now then" he asks.

"Yeah sure may as well, while you're going do me a favour and take the pram and stick the iPad back in the car will you" I ask.

"Yeah sure" he says pulling the pram and wheeling it out.

I'm becoming rather bored now sat on my own and text Liam asking if he would bring both Casey and Louis over so that she could get their coats, hats, gloves and scarfs on seeing as the weather was picking up now and the journey home in the car would be cold considering I never investing in car heating. She smiled when Louis came bobbling over unsteadily before digging his self into my stomach wrapping his arms around her happily.

"Hello baby, did you have fun with daddy" I ask smiling at the small boy as he nods enthusiastically.

"Cmon there darling let's get that coat of yours on, Li do me a favour and help Casey with hers please" I ask him as he nods and places Casey inbetween his legs.

I pull Louis' coat onto his shoulders and pull his mittens on his hands before pulling the wool hat on his head. I frown once again when I realise another pacifier has been lost in this place and in the space of a few hours I've lost two because he's careless with them while playing. Sighing I pull him onto my hip and walk over to the buffet table shocked to see hardly anything has been touched and most of the stuff still has the cling film wrapped around it. I pull a plain ham sandwich from the plate and place it in his mittened hands thankful when he takes a bite instead of just pulling the ham off like he usually does. I place him down on the floor next to me as he sits down still eating his sandwich and pile up the unopened trays of food and place them at the end of the table. I could  drop them off at a homeless shelter on the way home however the few trays that have food on are just in small portions so I push it all on one tray and decide maybe the kids might finish it off in the car. Things like this the public wouldn't expect people to do they'd think oh just throw it all a way but I detest the idea of wasting food and decide that maybe if the kids will eat it might as well and save me the effort of making snacks for two fussy children when I get home. I push all the trays to the end of the table and make my way back over to Liam with Louis tugging my hand happily still eating his sandwich and laugh.

"Do me a favour and bring them trays and put them in the front seat of the car so I can drop them off at a homeless shelter on the way home" I tell him.

"Babe, I can do that on the way into town." He smiles kissing me gently.

"Fine but just bring the tray of random food and put it in the car between the two kids so I don't have to make snacks when I get home" I laugh kissing him once again.

"Fair enough. Daddy will come kiss you good night when you're in the car Lou" Liam smiles at him as Sophia takes the two small children's hands.

3rd person

Louis whines at the loss of his mother's hand when she opens the door and is quick to offer it again once she has her hand free.

...

When both children are seated in the car seats Louis being placed in the front seat whilst Casey sits in the back where the iPad is in the seat. Neither children seem fussed with the situation and Louis sits happily crunching wotsits in his fingers and face.

"Are you happy you're having a baby sister boo bear" Sophia asks swiping his fringe from his eyes as they drive home.

"Will she sleep in your bed all time so I can't" Louis asks.

"No you both will be sleeping in your own bed in a nursery each" Sophia answers him "but until you have your room fully decorated you can still stay with mummy and daddy I suppose"

"I like my room now though, I wanna stay with my teddies they will get lonely momma" he burbles still munching through snacks.

"I know, you might have to tonight sweetie because daddy will have been having naughty boy beer and will smell so bad it will make you go eww" she laughs checking up on Casey to see her falling asleep slowly.

"Okay momma" he smiles happily.

It's the first time he's been happy and accepted he has to stay in his own bedroom and that alone makes Sophia so so proud. The two things she needs to do when she gets home is wash both children and maybe settle them down in front of the tv for half hour before sending them both to bed, it was her scan tomorrow and she knew that it might be fun for Louis to maybe come and see the little baby so both needed an early night so he didn't fuss all morning.

...

Once they parked in the garage, Sophia pulled Louis out on his feet before letting him toddle off to the swings before pulling Casey out smiling gently noticing she was half asleep thumb in her mouth suckling gently. She kept the small girl on her hip as she locked the car and ordered Louis to go into the house as soon as she opened the door. The small boy obliged and ran through the house clearly hyper on some of the sweets he ate in the car.

"Lou stop running around you will fall" Sophia scolded as he nodded and continued racing round the rooms.

She set Casey down on the sofa before pulling a blanket over her and pulling her thumb gently out of her mouth. Niall was trying to wean her off thumb sucking so she would have had to take it out if he was here anyways. She would have to work round cleaning the small child and changing her while she slept. Luckily for Sophia both children had new sets of pyjamas on the side and before long both children were changed and clean, Louis demanding milk from the breast and Casey whimpering miserably because of her rude awakening.

"Louis baby you're going to have to wait, how do you think mummy will do all this when the baby comes, be patient and share my time" Sophia scolds holding Casey's hand and walking up the stairs with her sighing at the cries from the playpen she had set Louis in.

He truly was an emotional child at times and the fact he hardly wanted to share her time worried her to high heavens. If Liam wasn't going to be around much she would sure as hell struggle looking after both children especially since the baby would require much more attention because of the lack of speech however her thinking was cut short by Casey tugging sadly at her arm.

"Want to go bed now" she mumbled tiredly lifting her arms up so Sophia could place her in her bed.

It wasn't anything like Louis' room, he had everything organised and stacked however caseys room was a mess toys and dresses scattered everywhere mainly due to the fact Casey spends more time playing in her room.

Now all Sophia had to do was get back down to her little lad.
