Lucy's POV:
"I'm worried Li." I say as I pour two cups of tea at the kitchen table. Liam was eating some cereal. The boys were still in bed.
Yesterday, Harry had thought he was in trouble, after peeing in the garden. He'd been so excited to play in the snow, that he didn't get inside before he realised how bad he had to go.
Of course he wasn't punished. We'd never do that for what he did.
But he woke a few times in the night in tears, still worried. It took a lot for both me, and Liam to tell him he shouldn't get upset.
"Should I have another talk with him? Reassure him?" Liam asked, he looked worried.
"Yes please love. I'm sure he'll be ok." I replied, just as we heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
"Morning Mum, Dad!" Zayn greeted us. He came over and hugged us both.
"Hello love. The other boys still asleep?" I asked as I got a bowl out for Zayn's breakfast.
"Yeah. Niall's snoring real bad, woke me up." He yawned. "I looked in Lou and Harry's room, they're asleep. Harry's in Lou's bed again."
"We should get him out of that habit, but Louis is such a comfort to him." Liam said, he got up and put his bowl in the sink.
"I know. Let's just see how it goes. The thumb sucking should stop too, really."
I looked up as Louis walked in, rubbing his eyes and yawning.
"Hi. I'm hungry!" He moaned, sitting next to Zayn.
"And hello to you too Louis!" I laughed. "Harry still asleep?"
"Yeah. Thought I should leave him. Is that ok?"
"Yes, expect he's tired out, poor boy." Liam answered.
Eventually, Niall pulled himself out of bed. We were all sat eating breakfast. I'm thinking I should go and check on Harry.
"Just popping upstairs. Won't be long. Do the dishes please boys!"
I get upstairs and go to Lou and Harry's room. I opened the door slowly and popped my head around it, expecting to see Harry in bed, but he's not there.
Must be in the bathroom, I thought, as I went to the end of the hall, I knocked on the door, but he didn't answer.
I opened it and looked in, not here!
Where the hell is he? I start panicking.
"Li...can you come up here please?" I call down, and straight away Liam runs up.
"What's up?"
"I don't know where he is, help me look please?"
I looked in their room and the bathroom, Li checked the other boys and our bedrooms.
"Look in wardrobes and behind curtains!" I yelled.
"Found him!" Liam shouted.
I ran into our room, Liam was sat in front of our wardrobe.
"It's ok Harry, you can come out. Take my hand and I'll help you." Liam held his hand out, but Harry moved further back.
"Harry love. You're safe here, remember? We're going to take good care of you. There's nothing to be scared of. Please...take Dadda's hand and come out." I said quietly.
Harry was crying, I could just make out his tears in the darkness, and hear light sniffles.
Slowly, he started moving forwards, wiping his nose on his sleeve.
"That's it, good boy, come and give me a cuddle. You had us all worried." Liam said gently, as Harry's tiny hand reached out for Liam's.
"There we go. Come here." Liam pulled him into a giant hug, picking him up, and holding tight, kissing his cheek over and over.
"I... I'm s-sorry." He whimpered, sticking his thumb in his mouth.
"Why are you sorry baby? You don't have to be sorry. Dadda's sorry if I upset you. I love you Harry. We all do, very much!" Liam was nearly in tears.
"I'm s-sorry I.... I did that in the g-garden. I'm s-sorry." He sobbed, tears falling fast down his red cheeks.
The poor boy had got himself into such a state, it was heartbreaking.
"Harry. It's ok. Don't get upset about it. I'm not angry and neither is Mumma. Ok?" He rubbed his hand up and down Harry's back, as he nodded his head and snuggled up closer.
Liam carried Harry downstairs, the boys were all sat on the sofa.
"Is Harry ok Dad?" Louis asked, getting up and taking him from Liam's arms.
He carried him to the sofa, sat down and they hugged.
"He's ok now, just needs cuddles." I said, watching as they cuddled up, Harry closing his eyes, and falling asleep.
I love my boys so much.

Harry's POV:
I wake up on Lou's lap, one of my favourite places. He's so soft, and warm. I love Louis. He my best brother, but I love all of them. Even if Niall nearly got me in trouble with Dadda.
Dadda says he's not cross with me. But I can't pee in the garden again. I couldn't help it though. I was too excited, before I knew it I was desperate. I couldn't keep it in.
"Harry, we're going to build another snowman, do you wanna help us?" Zayn asked, smiling.
I shook my head. I don't wanna go out there again.
"Aww why not? We need another pair of hands, come on!" Niall groaned, putting his coat on.
I shook my head and frowned at him.
"You're no fun!" He told me.
"Niall! Enough! He said no, so don't keep on!" Mumma told him off. Good!
"I won't be out there long, then we can cuddle again ok?" Louis said to me. I don't want him to go out, but I nodded and he left me.
I curled myself up in to the corner of the sofa. I'm tired, I want to go back to sleep.
I can hear Mumma and Dadda talking quietly. They must think I'm asleep, but I'm not.
"I think he's scared to go back outside, in case it happens again." Mumma said.
"You're right. We have to show him not to feel scared. Maybe we can take him out there later. We don't want him to be stuck in here forever." Dadda said.
But I don't wanna go outside ever again.
