Harry was the first to wake up the next day when his daily alarm went off. He had missed work on Tuesday, and it was Wednesday. He felt safe, but he knew he was not on his bed. He slowly opened his eyes only to be met with Louis asleep below him. He had his lips parted slightly, and his hair was soft from sleep.

He let the previous day's incidents pass through his head, and the first thing that popped into his mind was that they needed to move. He could not risk Harlow's life in that manner. He could not afford to lose his baby. He troubled his lip until a hand reached up, and pulled it from between his teeth, and caressed the abused flesh. "What is worrying you?" His alpha's raspy voice sent shivers down his back.

He focused his eyes onto Louis, and gave him a weak smile. "I-I uhm need to move. I cannot risk Harlow's life like that. If Simon was able to find me, I don't want to know what the others would do," he whispered as flashbacks of insults thrown at him clouded his mind.

He was pulled out of the dark abyss of his thoughts when Louis spoke again. "No one will hurt you as long as you live, but live with me," the alpha said, and Harry's mouth hung open.

"Louis I-I can't accept that. You just woke up, and I can't ask that of you. I don't want to bother you anymore than I already have." Louis growled lowly before flipping them so that Louis was hovering above him.

"You-" He nuzzled the crook of Harry's neck, and inhaled his scent deeply. "-will never be bothersome to me. I have asked that you never say that, and yet you do. Why? I may have just woken up, but I am very serious." Louis placed a kiss on top of Harry's failed bond mark before pulling back.

Harry hesitated, his inner conflict visible in his eyes. "People at wor-"

"They will not say a word if they know what is best for them. You are my omega, Harry. You always come first." Louis's words were so soft yet so firm that it sent a shiver down the omega's spine.

Harry stared into Louis's eyes deeply. "Kiss me?" He asked in a whisper after while. His tongue poked out to lick over his lips, and Louis's eyes followed his movements, dilating slightly as he drew in a sharp breath.

"Not until I get an answer out of you. You can say no, and I will help you find a nice house, but I do want an answer, omega," Louis said as he held Harry's chin.

Harry did not need to think. He knew the answer because he felt so very safe around Louis; knowing that he was there. No matter what Louis did, Harry always felt safe around him. It was scary; feeling this safe around an alpha after a short period of time, and having been abused by an alpha for a long time, but he knew that it was not only him, but Harlow felt safe around Louis too. Harlow loved Louis, and just maybe, Harry did too.

"Okay, I will move in with you." The smile that appeared on the alpha's face was blinding. He was like the sun, and Harry was the moon, Louis's moon.

Harlow was quietly finishing her colouring, and Louis was typing out an email to one of his branch managers informing them of the changes that needed to be made before the end of the month. He had received a change in the standard for medical equipment, and his factories were making the changes. He just needed his branch managers to make sure they received the correct product. He had called a moving company earlier, and told them what to do within the day because he did not want his omega nor child in an unsafe environment at any given time.

"What are you drawing darling?" Louis asked as he took his glasses off to look at the small omega seated on the sofa. Her eyes lit up before she gave a sheepish smile.
