DON'T HURT ME DADDY (Harry Styles)

27

Harry had been in hospital for a week.

Finally, he had recovered and today he was going home.

"Come on then little lad, let's get back home. The boys have missed you so much, so don't worry if they cover you in hugs and kisses!" Lucy laughed, making Harry giggle.

He was definitely feeling better.

They left the hospital, Liam carrying Harry as he was too weak to walk.

*****

"Harry's home!" Niall shouted, from his position in the living room window. He'd seen the car pull up.

The boys all ran to the door, and opened it, Liam's Mum, Karen, standing behind them. "Remember, he's been poorly, so be gentle!" She warned them.

Liam got Harry out of the car, and carried him indoors, as Lucy got his bag from the boot of the car.

"Look who's home!" Liam said.

"Hi Harry!" They all said as Liam sat him down on the sofa.

Louis sat on the sofa next him and kissed his cheek, he had tears in his eyes. "I'm so happy you're home, I've missed you so much." He whispered.

Harry smiled up at his oldest brother and lifted his hand slowly, wiping the tears from Louis' cheek.

There really was a special bond between the two boys.

The three adults were in the kitchen...

"How's he doing?" Karen asked.

"The infection has completely gone, he's very weak though. We've been given some physio to do on his legs, to strengthen them. We'll start tomorrow." Liam said.

"Poor little love, he's gone through so much. Imagine what his life would've been like if he'd had a decent family who cared for him from birth, instead of those two monsters? They've ruined his health and his memory. I hope they rot in hell!" Lucy broke down in floods of tears.

Liam pulled her into a hug, crying himself. This was all such a strain on the adults, even Karen was crying.

"Why are you all crying? Harry's home. We should be happy, right?" Niall appeared at the kitchen door, looking confused.

"You're right, Niall. Come here!" Lucy said, wiping her tears. She hugged him and smiled. "Let's go see Harry!"

The whole family sat in the living room. The boys were playing I spy, Niall was cheating as usual.

"I spy with my little eye... something beginning with....C!" He said, laughing.

"Cat!" Zayn yelled.

"Where's the cat Zayn? We don't have a cat!" Liam laughed.

"Cornflakes!"

"Err...no!"

"Chin!"

They all burst out laughing. They suggested more and more, but each time Niall said no.

"Argh! We give up!"

"Kit-kat! I win!!" Niall screamed, pointing at the chocolate finger bar on the coffee table, pleased with himself.

"Niall....kit-kat is a K not a C and it's a two words!" Louis laughed.

They were all laughing, even Harry was giggling, though he didn't really understand.

"No... it's a C... Cat is a C so kit-kat is a C!" Niall defended himself.

The argument went on for a while, before Niall gave in.

"I better start on dinner" Lucy got up and headed for the kitchen, Liam's Mum followed her.

"Need a hand love?" She asked. Lucy nodded.

"Thanks Karen. I'm so tired, looking forward to getting to bed."

"You sit down, I'll cook. You need to rest, before you make yourself ill." Karen said as Lucy sat down at the table.

Karen went to work on cooking a roast.

"You really don't need to do this." Lucy said.

"It's fine love. I don't mind, as long as I can stay for dinner." She laughed.

"Of course. Thank you so much for looking after the boys for us. We really appreciate you." Lucy smiled, she got up from her seat and gave her mother-in-law a hug.

She made them both a cup of tea, and one for Liam, taking it through to him.

She found Harry asleep, cuddled up to Louis, the other boys and Liam were cuddled up on the other sofa watching cartoons.

"Made you a cup of tea Li." Lucy said, placing the cup on the coffee table.

"Thanks" Liam said, yawning.

*****

A couple of hours later, Karen had finished cooking dinner. "Come and get it!" She shouted from the kitchen.

The smell was incredible.

Roast chicken, potatoes and parsnips, fresh broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower, stuffing, and gravy. The family sat down at the table, as Karen dished up the food.

"Oh my god, Mum...this is delicious!" Liam mumbled, his mouth full.

"Yes, thank you Karen, it's lovely"  Lucy added.

"You're welcome. Eat up."

The family sat and ate their meal, happy they were all together again.

*****

They'd said goodbye to Karen an hour ago, and were watching a movie.

"Think it's time you boys got to bed now." Liam said, seeing that three of them were close to sleep, and Harry was already asleep.

"Aw Dad...just a bit longer!" Zayn whined.

"No...come on, it's been a long day, and me and Mum need our bed too. Come on up you get!"

The three boys moaned as they went up to brush their teeth, followed by Lucy.

"Brush properly!" She told them as she watched from the door.

Liam was carrying Harry up the stairs to his room, he'd have to wait til the morning to brush his teeth.

The boys ran to their rooms and jumped into bed. Lucy and Liam said goodnight and kissed each of them, tucking them in.

"I'll keep an eye on Harry, in case he's ill in the night." Louis whispered.

"Thank you darling. You get to sleep now. Night night!" Lucy replied, smiling that they really did have the most loving family she could wish for.

Probably will do another chapter later, as it's my day off work. Hope you all have a good day.

All the love xxx
