A week later

Louis' rested his hand on Harry's leg to try to keep him from bouncing around, he knew he was nervous.

"Relax curly, it's alright," Louis tried to say as reassuringly as possible.

"I know, I've just only ever been flying one other time besides this and it was to come to the states," Harry said quietly.

"Well if it makes you feel any better, my first time flying-Louis told me the plane was going to do a loop de loop in the air when we took off. For like 20 minutes of the journey, I was waiting for it to go upside down. Then Lou started to laugh his ass off so I knew it was a prank," Zayn said leaning in close to Harry. Louis busted up laughing remember the story of Zayn's first plane ride.

"Wonderful times mate you have to admit," Louis said smugly. "Don't worry Haz, I won't do anything like that to you," he whispered to a now smiling Harry.

Soon enough the jet was ready and the five boys along with a few other security guards boarded. The flight would be close to 10 hours so the boys got comfortable and settled in for the long journey.

Harry made his way next to Louis and cuddled up to the man before quickly falling asleep. Louis gently stroked the boy's curls to keep him calm and asleep.

"So Lou, first time back to England in how many years now?" Niall asked sliding up next to him.

"A few years, can't remember," Louis lied. He remembered exactly the last time he had been back, a few months after his mother's death. Since then only seeing his siblings through short video calls.

"Ah yeah," Niall said nodding his head knowing that Louis was lying. "You're nervous."

"I am not!" Louis said slightly too loud.

"Careful you'll wake up your baby," Liam joked from across the jet earning just a scowl from Louis.

"I am not," he said again now whispering.

"Sure you aren't," Niall said rolling his eyes.

"Okay okay, fine. I'm worried about my uncle, what if something happens to him?! And I'm also worried about Harry, what if he wants to stay?!"

"Mate, William will be fine. We're not going to be gone long and he told you like 10 times before we left that he'd be fine," Zayn said trying to reassure his best friend.

"And about Harry, I don't think he wants to leave you," Niall added softly looking down at the sleeping boy in Louis' lap.

Finally the jet touched down in and Louis gently shook Harry awake.

"Come on love, we're here. First stop is to go see your dad," Louis whispered into Harry's ear.

"We're here already?"

"Yeah sleepy, you slept the entire flight," Niall said with a chuckle.

"Oh, I can't believe I did," Harry said standing up and reaching for his bags.

"Don't worry about it, I got 'em," Louis said and took the bags from Harry's hands.

"Thanks Lou," Harry said smiling softly.

Stepping off the private jet, there was already an expensive looking car waiting for them. All the boys loaded their luggage and climbed in. The driver glanced at Harry multiple times during the ride but didn't say anything to him.

After about an hour drive, the car pulled up in front of a heavily guarded mansion, much like Louis'. Harry stared out the window in bewilderment, this definitely wasn't his old house. The car drove up the drive way for what felt like an eternity but finally stopped.

Two people stood on the door step of the mansion with huge smiles on their faces and Harry couldn't believe he was seeing them again. Without even waiting for Niall to get out of the car, Harry climbed over him and pulled open the door.

"HARRY!" exclaimed both Desmond and Gemma as the quickly rushed over.

"Gems!" Harry squealed hugging his sister tightly and not even realizing he had tears streaming down his face. Desmond stood off to the side as he watched his children reunite, feeling pangs of guilt in his chest.

Louis slowly exited the car and watched the sweet sight unfolding in front of him. He's glad he could bring Harry back to see his family.

"Oh my god Harry, it's been too long," Gemma said with tears streaming down her face as well. "Your hair has gotten so long," she said softly as she ran her hands through Harry's curls.

"Haven't really thought about my hair much," Harry said sadly and looked up at his locks. His hair used to be so important to him but during his time with Nick, it dropped low on his list of priorities.

"Well we can get it all fixed up if you'd like," Gemma said with a sad smile, knowing that her little brother must have been though hell and back these past three years.

"Yeah yeah, I'd like that," Harry said softly and finally turned to his right. "Hi dad."

"Harry," Desmond whispered softly and walked over to give him a hug. "I'm sorry," he whispered as he hugged his one and only son.

"It's okay dad, I'm safe now. All thanks to Lou," Harry said and turned to face the boy who has come to mean so much to him in so little time.

"Louis Tomlinson!" Desmond exclaimed. "I thought I'd never seen you back on this side of the world again," he said with a chuckle and walked over to him. Harry snuggled his way into Louis' arm as he shook hands with his dad.

"Neither did I but it's good to see you Sir," Louis said very seriously and in boss mode now.

"Too bad you're here on such bad circumstances," Desmond said, confusing Harry. The boy looked to Louis in hopes of en explanation but all Louis did was gently squeeze Harry's side.

"Unfortunate, yes. But we have business to discuss."
