🌻51🌻

A few days later, Harry had his annual check up at the hospital.

A week after that he was back there to get the results with Anne.

"So...we have Harry's results." The Doctor said as he scanned his computer screen.

Harry was sat on Anne's lap playing with his Barbie.

"I can see his bone density has improved. It's still not what it should be though. But I see that he's not broken too many bones, so that's good. He's still a bit underweight and small for his age. I think he probably will stay small.
His hearing is a bit worrying though."

"Why?" Anne asked, feeling nervous.

"He didn't respond to the tests as well as we hoped. Not hearing certain frequencies. I think he may need to have the cochlear implants sooner than we hoped."

Anne stroked Harry's back.

"His speech seems better though. Much better than last year."

"He still doesn't talk as much as other kids his age though, struggles to put full sentences together." Anne responded.

"Keep doing the speech therapy. It's definitely helping. I think the partial deafness is definitely a contributing attribute. I'm sure once he has the implants you won't be able to keep him quiet."

Anne smiled.

"Now. He seems stronger on his feet. Have you thought about hydrotherapy?"

"I've read about it."

"I think you should try it. It will definitely strengthen his legs. I'll give you some info."

So...two weeks later, Anne and Harry were back at the hospital at the hydrotherapy pool.

A physiotherapist was working his magic on Harry. He was feeling relaxed and calm as the hour long session went on. He showed Anne some exercises she could do on Harry if they go to the normal pool, which she had told him she would as Harry loved the water.

Harry and Louis were giggling in the pool at the local leisure centre.

"Thanks for inviting us." Jay said as Louis splashed her.

"You're welcome. Thought Harry would enjoy it more if you were both here, and Gemma.

Gemma was swimming up and down close by.

"Mummy. Wet." Harry said patting his soaking wet hair.

Anne laughed. "Yes darling. Very wet."

They played for a while, before Anne helped Harry with some exercises.

"Sleepy." Harry yawned after a while.

"Think he's had enough now." Anne told Jay.

"Yeah. Think Lou is too. Shall we get out?" Anne nodded.

Gemma went in her own changing room, while the boys went in with their Mum's.

"Come on buggerlugs. Get those shorts off." Anne tugged at Harry's bottoms.

"Cold Mummy." He shivered as Anne wrapped him in a towel.

"Let's be quick then, or you'll get colder."

Harry wriggled on the seat he sat on as Anne dried him.

"Do you need a wee?" Harry nodded and grabbed his crotch.

"Gemma. I'm taking Harry to the loo, can you make sure nobody goes in our changing room please?"

"Yep!"

Anne rushed Harry to the toilets, just making it in time.

"Did he make it?" Gemma asked as they got back to the room.

"Yes. Just." She laughed. She finished dressing Harry and herself.

"Can you take my bag Gem, think this sleepy boy wants carrying." Anne said. Gemma nodded and took the changing bag.

They met up with Jay and Louis outside the changing rooms. 

"Oh wow! He was tired!" Jay said as Anne walked towards her. "Asleep already."

Anne smiled. "Bless his heart. Won't be wanting McDonald's on the way home then?" Harry fidgetted on her shoulder.

"Nuggies?" He whispered, half asleep.

"Ok. If you can stay awake."

They all went to Jay's car and the kids were put into their car seats.

It was a couple of miles to the fast food place. Louis' tummy rumbled the whole way.

He had Harry's hand in his own as they neared their stop.

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

"Eat up kids." Jay said as she handed them their food.

They had the same as last time. None of them wanting to try something different.

Louis again offered Harry a fish finger, that Harry turned his nose up at. Harry gave Louis 2 nuggets this time as he wasn't that hungry, he did eat all his fries though. Gemma had her chicken mayo burger. The mums just had coffee.

"Did you enjoy swimming Louis?" Jay asked.

Louis nodded frantically, as he stuffed a handful of fries in his mouth.

"And you Gemma?"

"Oh yes. It was great. I haven't been swimming for ages, except at school, and that's not as much fun."

"Me like." Harry added, just before Jay asked him.

"That's great Harry. Makes you very tired though doesn't it?" Anne said, noting how Harry was having such a hard time keeping his eyes open.

"Is it sleepover night Mummy?" Louis asked, sweetly.

"Tomorrow night Lou. If that's ok with Auntie Annie."

Louis looked towards Anne and smiled a cute smile. "Please?"

"How could I possibly say no to that cute little face?"

"Is that yes?"

"It's a yes!"

"YAY! Sleepover tomorrow. I can't wait to cuddle with my Harry." He clapped his hands, making Harry jump out of his near slumber.

Louis loved his sleepovers at the Styles' so much. It was his favourite night of the week.
