53. Good luck, you're going to need it

LOUIS

That Monday morning was the first time in over a week that Louis put on actual shoes and pants that weren't joggers. He still had a little belly, which made impossible for his old skinny jeans to fit, so he had to put on some of the pants he wore at the beginning of his pregnancy.

He was sitting on the living room couch going over some of his notes for the test, when the doorbell rang, it was probably Liam.

"Hey Lou" Liam smiled when he opened the door.

"Liam thank you so so much for doing this, really, I owe you" Louis said as a greeting while he ushered Liam inside.

"It's no trouble mate" Liam shrugged as he walked in the flat "Besides, Milo's my godson".

"Yeah I know, but skipping class to babysit is probably not in the godfather's handbook" Louis explained.

"It is in mine" Liam said while he knelt down in front to the bouncer where the baby was "Hi Milo, remember me? I'm uncle Liam, we're going to spend some time together today, okay?".

Milo didn't even acknowledge him, he just stayed moving around on his bouncer while he sucked on his dummy. That was actually a new thing; Harry and Louis had seen Milo sucking his thumb a few times, and Harry kept saying they should just give him a dummy to get him to stop doing it, but Louis didn't want to because he didn't want Milo to be dependent on a dummy. But on Saturday night, Milo was being extra fussy and nothing seemed to sooth him, so Harry suggested a dummy, and Louis, who was willing to do anything at that point, agreed to do it. At first Milo didn't like it, he kept spitting it out, so they tried with different dummies they had, until Milo decided he liked the Irish themed dummies.

"Should I teach you the basics before I have to leave?" Louis asked.

"Sure".

Louis spent the next 15 minutes teaching Liam how to warm up a bottle and how to give it to Milo, how to burp him afterwards, how to change his nappy and how to set up the bouncer exactly like Milo liked it.

"If he spits out his dummy and it falls to the floor you need to wash it before you give it back to him, or just give him another one of those Irish dummies, they're in the nursery" Louis explained as he put on his jacket.

"Ni is going to be so happy when I tell him that Milo only likes those" Liam said dreamily, he was probably thinking about Niall.

"Liam pay attention please".

"I am, dummy falls down, I wash it or give him a new one".

"Okay, if you have any questions text Harry, but if Milo's choking or you drop him or something call both of us" Louis instructed.

"Those thing aren't going to happen Louis" Liam said "But if they do, I think I'll call an ambulance first".

"Fine" Louis murmured.

He went to the bouncer, stopped it and took Milo out of it to have a little cuddle with him before he left.

"I have to go Milo, but I'll be back soon" Louis whispered to him "I love you peanut, I'll miss you".

"You're acting like you're going away for a month" said Liam.

"I've never left him Li, this is hard for me" Louis explained.

He held Milo close kissing his head repeatedly, he really didn't want to leave him.

"Be a good boy for uncle Liam, okay?" Louis said to the baby.

"Here" Liam outstretched his hands for Louis to give him Milo.

"Okay" Louis pouted.

He gave the baby another kiss and walked up to Liam, but he didn't seem to be able to let go of him.
