Emily || Larry Stylinson

Chapter 4

"But what about Em?" Asked Louis furiously on the phone.

A sudden interview was announced and they had to be at the location in 3 hours. Harry was still asleep with his arms around his daughter.

Louis sighed in defeat as he hung on Liam's call. He tapped his phone in his hands as he racked his brain to think of a person to babysit Emily. All their parents and sister had left yesterday and there was no one he could trust with Emily and the secret. He threw the phone on the bed as he proceeded to make breakfast.

"Good morning Dad" chirped Emily from Harry's arms.
"Good morning, love. What happened? You look a little tensed?" Harry asked as he gave Louis a peck on his lips.

Louis sighed and put his hands on the counter.
"There's an interview, we have to be at in 3 hours."
"What!?!? When did this message come?" Asked Harry as he sat Emily doen in her chair.
"Liam called half hour ago. Our family has already gone back. What do we do?"
"We will need to get a babysitter for future. But what about today?"
"I can stay alone, I guess" said Emily.
"Not at all young lady. I will call and stay at home. Your papa will go" said Louis.
"Why do you get to stay home?"
"Because I am sick" said Louis as he fake coughed and dialled away on his phone.

Harry left for the interview in a foul mood while Louis sat down on his laptop looking for good agencies to hire a babysitter with full secrecy.
"Dad? When is your birthday?" Emily asked
"24th December. OH MY GOD!"
" WHAT!?!?"
" I don't knw YOUR birthday. When is it?" Louis asked.
"Its on the 12th January" she said.
"What!? Really?" Asked Louis.
"Yes. Why?"
"Well you and Uncle Z share a birthday then" Louis smiled.
"Oh my god! How awesome is that" she said jumping.
"Its indeed very nice. Now how about you go an play? Daddy gotta look for babysitters so that this kinda situation doesn't happen in the future"

Emily nodded as she went into her room to play with the many toys that Harry and Louis had bought for her. She eventually got bored and went down to look for her Dad. She saw him laying on the couch with his eyes closed. She thought he was sleeping.

She quickly ran to her room and got something. She came back down and spread the blanket on her father. Louis opened his tired eyes a little and looked at Emily smiling at him.

"You got this?" She nodded. Louis smiled and pulled her on top of him. "Thank you Em"
"Your welcome Dad."

In that position they slept until the boys came home.
"This requires a picture" said Zayn as he fished out his phone from he pocket.
"That's not fair" whined Harry.
"Ok geez sorry, here" said Zayn as he snapped a picture of Harry too.

Liam and Niall laughed at Harry's annoyed expression.
"I MEANT ABOUT EMILY! Why does he get to spend a whole day with our daughter while I answer too some clout chasing stupid show"
" Next time you stay at home with her" Liam shrugged.

"Papa? Uncles?" Asked Emily in a groggy voice as she rubbed her eyes and got off her Dad's chest. Louis stirred a little but Emilly patted him and he smiled a little before going back to his slumber.

"Hey Em! You good?" Harry asked. She nodded happily as she ran to him and wrapped her arms around him.
"I missed you. And I'm hungry"
"Well we got food for you then" said Niall as he brought the food packet in front of him.

They were having their lunch when Louis woke up. He smiled at everyone as he rubbed his eyes. Harry got up from his seat and gave Louis a kiss before going to serve him.

"How was the interview?"
"Same old same old. When's the next album, who are you seeing currently, are you excited for the tour?" Liam rolled his eyes.
"FUCK. TOUR. Its in only 6 months" Louis panicked.
"Yeah mate. So?"
"What about Emily?"
"She- she. Oh my god. What about Emily" panicked Harry.
"Calm down. We will find a way to sneak her" said Niall.
"Niall this is a human we are talking about not a packet of Chips"
"At least we will be here for her birthday" smiled Louis.
"When is your birthday Emily" asked Liam.
"12th January" she spoke with food in her mouth which sprayed on to Zayn. "Oops. Sorry uncle Z"
"Your birthday is with mine? Yess" Zayn punched the air before leaning over to give Emily a tight hug
"Yay. WE WILL CELEBRATE IT TOGETHER" she smiled wide.
"Harry? I saw a couple of babysitting agencies or whatever they are called. I put my name down. I'm thinking of an older woman, you know" said Louis
"I think an Older woman will be better too. And if she has to take a holiday she can leave Emily at Mom's" said Harry.
"So I can't come with you?" She asked
"Emily- I- we- It's the management, it will be difficult to take you. The management doesn't know and if they find out it will be hards on us." Explained Louis.

They were about to continue the conversation when the doorbell rang. Liam raised his eyebrows as everyone was here already. Harry got to the door and before opening it, he freaked out.
"ITS THE RAYMOND" He whisper-yelled.
"Who is Raymond?" Asked Emily.
"That's- that's someone who could end our career. He is part of the management." Said Niall.
"Hide Emily" said Harry.
"Get me a blanket" hissed Louis. Niall nodded and ran to get him a blanket.

Emily made a confused face and before she could react, Liam had picked her up  and he quickened his pace towards her bedroom while Louis went on to open the door.

"Em, stay here till we come and get you" Emily nodded at Liam's words as Liam left she pressed her ear against the door in hioe of hearing something.

"Hey Raymond. What are you doing here?"
"Just wanted to see if Louis was alright." He said looking around.
"I'm better." Louis said quickly.
"Who's extra plate is that?" Raymond said pointing towards Emily's plate.
"I- erm- That's"
"That's mine. You know how much I eat" said Niall.
"What's wrong boys?"
"Nothing. Why?"
"Y'all look so tensed- who's bear is that" he said pointing to a rainbow colored teddy bear on the couch.
"Well Ray, its my house so off course that's mine. Why can't I have a bear?" Said Louis.
"No no. You can. Harry and Louis? You two are still not together, right? I thought that our talk last time got some sense into you both to leave with this obsession of being gay"
"IT'S NOT-"
"Yeah Raymond. We remember. So when is tour starting exactly?" Harry cut Louis off as they held hands behind their backs. Harry gave Louis's hand a little squeeze and Louis visibly relaxed his shoulders and his scrunched up eyebrows.
"23rd February. A grand start with the O2 Arena." He said rubbing his hands.
"Mhmm good. Can't wait" said Liam through gritted teeth.
"I should get going now"
"Oh no. Why so early?"said Zayn in a mocking tone
"I have a feeling that you all don't want me here" he said laughing. "I'm only joking"
"Do ya? Ah anyways. See you tomorrow at the dress fitting eh?" Said Niall as they moved towards Raymond to shoo him out.
"Yea. Ok. Bye boys. Louis and Harry keep yourself in check." Said Raymond.

"I'm gonna murder that bastard one day" said Louis stomping away into his room.

Harry sighed at his retreating figure. He looked down at her feet before looking back at his mates.

"Harry, You know we can always end it right? You don't have to get through this hell just for us" said Liam.
"Yes. And Harry now with Emily, you gotta concentrate your time on her also." Said Zayn.
"Yeah mate. Think about it" said Niall before they left for the family to be by themselves.

Harry slowly moved towards his and Louis's room to find it empty. He let his legs move towards Emily's room. He heard sobs. He slowly turned the door knob and peeped inside the room to see Louis crying on Emily's lap. Emily was stroking his hair and humming songs into his ear.

Harry looked at Emily and then Louis. Louis got up and hugged Harry. Wrapping his arms around him tightly. Harry rubbed his back as his silent tears fell down.

"How and why is this our fault? What's wrong in love?" Asked Louis.
"Nothing is wrong in love Lou. You know it. We will be free soon Louis."

From the corner of the eye Harry saw Emily leaving the room. 3 minutes later Harry saw Emily coming in the room with two glasses on a tray with her uttermost concentration on not making the glasses fall.

"Water?" She asked. Harry laughed a little before grabbing the glass and handing it to Louis.

Louis gulped down the water soothing his dry throat.

"Let's go to sleep Lou" said Harry. Louis nodded and got up leaning on Harry for support.

Emily got onto her bed before getting changed herself. With much difficulty she opened the heavy blanket and tucked herself in.

"You tucked yourself in?" Asked Harry as he stood in the doorway
"I thought you should be with dad. What happened? Can we not be together? Are you going to send me back?"
"No no no honey. Nothing happened." He sat down next to Emily. "Don't you worry about it Emily. And we are definitely not going to give you back. Why would we? You are our daughter now. It will all be alright" he gave her a hug before giving her a goodnight kiss on her forehead and leaving to go back to Louis.

He came into the room to see that Louis was already asleep. He let put a sad smile before getting into bed and pulling the covers over them and pulling Louis closer. Louis snuggled into Harry's chest as he wrapped his arms around Louis.
