Liam's POV:

I had called my Mum, asked he to look after the boys. Lucy was on her way in.

I'm feeling angry, disgusted. I'm feeling heartbroken.

I called the doctor and told him what Harry had told me. He told me that they would call the police and Harry would have to have further examinations to check...you know...if his Dad had....god i can't even bring myself to think about what that monster could have done.

Lucy came running up to me, she was crying. We hugged for a minute or so.

"Liam...where is he? Is he ok?" She sobbed.

"He's still in his room. They're waiting for us." I took her hand and lead her into the room.

Harry was laying in bed, nurses taking care of him. He sat up when he saw us. He held his arms out to us.

Lucy immediately went to him and picked him up. She held him like he was the most precious thing in the world. He snuggled up to her, thumb in mouth, Lucy kissed him gently.

"We love you so much Harry" she whispered.

"We need to do the examination now." The doctor said . My heart dropped.

Lucy placed him back on the table. She took one hand, i took the other as the doctor started, a policewoman in presence.

It was distressing to watch this poor, innocent little boy going through this, but he was so, so brave. We all cried.

Once It was over, i picked him up, and we sat on the sofa together, just holding him, comforting him. He fell asleep.

A while later the doctor came in asking to speak to us privately. I put Harry back in his bed and we went to another room with the doctor.

"Please tell us that monster didn't...." I couldn't say it.

"He didn't." He replied. We both cried in relief.

"Thank god!" I said.

" that doesn't mean to say that Des didn't assault him though. I don't think Harry would say that he was touched sexually if he wasn't. He's only 8 and had no contact with the outside world, it would be impossible for him to know about that sort of thing, unless it had happened. "

I felt sick.

The policewoman told us what would happen next. We just want that sick bastard locked up for life.

*****

The next day...

Despite this latest setback, Harry had recovered from his illness and was being discharged. It was such a relief to be taking him home.

The boys were missing him terribly.

"HARRY!" Niall shouted as we walked in the door, making Harry jump in my arms.

"Niall! Not too noisy please love" Lucy said.

I took Harry and set him on the sofa, Louis came and sat next to him and they hugged. I don't think Louis wanted to let him go, he had missed him so much.

"Is Harry ok Mum?" Zayn asked.

" he's feeling better love, but we have to remember that if any of us are ill, we're not to get close to him. We don't want him getting poorly again, do we? " Lucy replied. She'd told the boys of his immune problem.

"Ok...I'll try not to get ill. I don't want to be away from him again." He's so caring.

*****

I ordered a chinese takeaway that night, too tired to cook. We all sat in the living room, eating in silence. Harry had a small bowl with some rice, noodles and a bit of chicken. We were told to take it slowly with his eating. He was picking at the noodles, he seemed to be enjoying them.

"Is it nice Harry?" I asked. He nodded.

" th-thank y-you. " he whispered.

"I love chinese!" Niall said loudly.

"You love anything!" Zayn laughed.

Even Harry giggled at that comment.

Harry picked up his spoon, holding it awkwardly, and scooped up some rice, aiming it at his mouth and missing, spilling the rice down his pyjamas.

"Nooo!" He gasped, trying to pick it up with his tiny fingers.

"It's ok I'll clean that up!" Lucy said.

" Nooo! " Harry swatted her hand away, gently. "Want it!" He was picking up bits of rice and putting it in his mouth.

I watched as he picked every bit of rice and ate it.

"You hungry baby?" Lucy asked. Harry nodded as he scooped up another spoon of rice, again not aiming straight .

"Let me help you!" She asked. He sighed and nodded.

She fed him the rest of his bowl. He looked sad.

"Harry can have some of mine, Mum, I've got too much!" Niall said holding out his plate.

Lucy put some into Harry's bowl and continued to feed him, until he pushed the bowl away, done.

"Well done Harry. Bet that tummy is full now!" I said as i picked up the empty plates, taking them to wash up.

Harry cuddled up next to Louis while Lucy came to help dry up.

"That's the most I've seen him eat." I said, handing her a clean plate to dry.

" I know, and Niall offered him his food? Never thought I'd see that! " she giggled.

We'd finished the dishes and went back to the living room.

All four boys were cuddled up on the sofa. Harry and Niall were asleep, Louis and Zayn watching cartoons.

"You ok boys?" I asked.

" Yeah. Glad Harry's home. " Louis said as he rubbed Harry's back.

"Me too. Can he live with us forever? He's cute!" Zayn added.

" We'll see." i said, Lucy looked at me with hope in her eyes.


Thank god Des didn't do more to Harry!

All the love xxx
