Yours Sincerely, Louis

"What About Freddie?"

"You must not tell your families about this. If they know then soon everyone will know" Simon says as he puts the signed contract in his bag.

The boys stand in silence until Louis finally speaks up.

"Wait what about Freddie? Will I be able to see him? Louis asks, concerned.

"I called Briana and told her what's going on. You are allowed to say goodbye to Freddie before you leave but unfortunately you cannot see him for at least 6 months" Simon says, clearly not caring.

"6 MONTHS?!" Louis shouts, "I can't wait that long to see my son! He needs his dad there!"

"I'm sorry Louis but this is best for everyone" Simon says but everyone can see that he doesn't actually care.

Louis is furious and so are the others. Simon can't just keep him away from his son. He can't.

"I am devastated to say this but unfortunately our meeting is over. You may all go home" Simon says, sarcastically.

The boys leave Simon's office and Louis immediately breaks out into tears. He leans into Harry and Harry wraps his arms around the smaller man. Zayn, Liam, and Niall stand around them showing sympathy towards Louis. They knew how much Louis loved Freddie.

"He can't do that! Freddie needs a father! He already has a horrible mother and I don't want him stuck with her for 6 fucking months!" Louis sobs.

"I know baby, I know" Harry says while rubbing Louis's back.

"He doesn't understand. I didn't have my father in my life and it was fucking miserable. I don't want Freddie to go through that. No one deserves to go through what I went through" Louis chokes out.

The 5 lads stand there in silence for about 2 minutes until Niall speaks up.

"You know, Louis, we can watch Freddie on the days that you would normally be with him" Niall suggests.

"We know it won't be the same as being with his dad but at least we're better than that bitch he has for a mother" Zayn says with a chuckle.

Louis laughs as well.

"And besides, we've watched Freddie loads of times. I'm sure he'd love spending some extra time with his uncles" Liam says to Louis.

Louis thinks for a second before letting go of Harry.

"I'll talk to Briana tonight. She won't say yes easily but I could easily bribe her into doing it" Louis says while looking down at his shoes.

"Lou, stop giving that woman money. She doesn't deserve it" Harry says to his boyfriend.

"I know but I'm desperate Haz" Louis says while looking up at Harry, lovingly.

"Alright, fine," Harry says, "but not too much money"

"I guess I have a phone call to make then" Louis says as he walks to the end of the hallway.

"Hey Briana. I have a favor to ask..."

Author Notes:

Hey! So I know this chapter is kinda boring but I needed to get a chapter out. This is more of a filler chapter, I just couldn't think of anything. I promise the next chapter will be better. It will have some cute fluff because this story needs some happiness. Anyway, thanks for reading! I love you all and TPWK🌈❤️
