21. That's how it works

LOUIS

June, 2015

Matty had just finished his breakfast, and now he was sitting on his bed playing with his toys like it was any other day in the hospital, but it wasn't really.

The last round of chemo had ended the week before, and yesterday they had done another bone marrow aspiration and biopsy on Matty to determine whether the chemo had done what it was supposed to do or not. Now, Louis was a bundle of nerves because the results were supposed to be back today and Zayn was going to show later during the morning to explain to Louis what was going to happen next with Matty's treatment.

But if that wasn't enough to have him nervous, the two weeks had been up the day before, so that afternoon he had an appointment at the IVF clinic to find out if he was pregnant or not. In truth, he could have already asked Liam to give him a blood test to get it over with fast, but he rather do it at the clinic; that way, if he wasn't pregnant, he could talk right away to Dr. Porter so they could start the process of egg harvesting again as soon as possible.

"Papa pway?" Matty asked interrupting Louis's thoughts.

"Sure monkey" Louis smiled at him and went to sit on the bed with him, taking the white car he was offering him.

"Wace?" Matty asked looking at him with his pretty green eyes big.

"You want us to race?" Louis wondered making sure he understood.

Matty nodded.

"Alright" Louis said "But I don't even know why we bother, you always win anyway".

Matty giggled and he started moving his red and black car on the bed. To be honest, Matty's car races never really made any sense, he just moved the car around and at some point he decided he had won and Louis just had to accept defeat, but it wasn't like he minded anyway.

They were mid race when they were interrupted.

"Hey" someone with a deep and raspy voice said.

Louis knew immediately who it was, he didn't even need to look at the door, but Matty did.

"Haw-wy!" Matty said excited and gave him his best smile.

"Hi Matty, how are you today?" Harry asked coming into view.

"Good" Matty said cheerfully.

"That's great to hear love" Harry smiled and he turned to look at Louis "What about you Lou?".

"I'm good too" Louis replied as he took from Harry the cup he was offering him "Thanks".

"No problem" Harry said and also passed him a paper bag.

Harry brought him breakfast almost every morning now, and when he didn't have time to bring it, he would call and apologize for not being able to do it, which was ridiculous, he had no obligation to feed him.

"Donuts?" Louis asked noticing the bag was from Dunkin Donuts, and the cup too for that matter.

"You don't like donuts?" Harry asked worried.

"I do, I was just surprised, you usually bring Starbucks" Louis commented.

He took a sip from the cup, and it was tea as usual, Louis wasn't drinking coffee (and Harry knew it), just in case he was pregnant.

"I'll be bringing Coffee vs. Tea soon" Harry grinned "So don't get used to any of my competition".

"Are you opening...?" Louis started to ask.

"Haw-wy pway caws?" Matty interrupted, probably not liking that the adults were ignoring him.

"Sure" Harry agreed and sat on the bed "Which one's mine?".
