Living a new life (Adopted)

chapter 7

Louis rushed around like a headless chicken, packing a baby bag with the essentials in such as, bottle or milk, nappies, dummy, spare clothes and a blanket that Harry had grown attached to. Whilst Louis ran around the house packing the much needed essentials along with getting himself ready, Zayn had got given the job of putting a coat on Harry along with a pair of shoes, the look being completed by Zayn clipping a clip on dummy too his shirt, putting it in the baby's mouth also."There we go, all done. Now shall we get in the car?" Zayn asked lifting the baby in one arm as he held the car seat in the other. As Zayn started heading to the front door, little Harry started whimpering. This is it....he's being shipped away! He isn't allowed to be loved or cared for, Louis didn't want him and now he's packing his bag for him so Uncle Zayn could take him away from any sort of happiness he thought he had gained.Zayn stopped by the Car as he heard the boy start to full on cry, snot and tears dribbling down his little face. "Hey what's all this for huh?" Zayn commented in a soft voice only reserved for little's. Harry didn't do anything but cry and whine. "Hey, come on now, stop with these silly tears. Daddy will be out in a minute. Now be good for Uncle Zee and sit in your car seat" Zayn lightly scolded, though said boy withered and wiggled, not wanting to be in this stupid thing as he knows he's going to be taken away."Oi, do you not want to go see NiNi and Uncle Liam, eh? I know NiNi is excited to meet you" Zayn distracted the boy, fastening the clasps of the buckle and making sure that Harry won't be moving around while he drove, the last thing he wanted to do was hurt Harry for not securing the seat properly, hell Louis will have his head.Let's just say that once Louis had locked ups and got in the car, Harry wouldn't stop kicking his seat or stop crying, Zayn only said they where seeing Niall and Liam just to make him think that he is just for him to find out they weren't and just for him to be let down.~Niall and Liam...the ones he had met yesterday. He is going on a playdate! "Has your tantrum finally stopped, baby boy?" Louis cooed, reaching into the back to stroke his baby's leg that was stuck out of his seat. His seat is designed like one for a tiny baby, so it faced backwards rather than forwards. You could understand why he was so upset then, having facing a leather seat the whole time and not his daddy.The man then got out and rather than picking up his baby, Harry was surprised when his daddy leaned over him and lifted up the entire seat! Woah, car seats could be portable? Louis giggled at the awestruck look on Harry's face, putting the carrier down for a moment and smiling. "It's a special seat, darling. Just for my Hazza" Zayn rang the doorbell as Louis is rather occupied with the carrier. One might be wondering how he could carry such an item with a teenager inside, but the parents of the community had their ways - and waved at Harry, who is staring at him from where he is seemingly dangling above the ground.Harry shyly wiggled his fingers as his arm is rather weakened by the medicine, Zayn's heart just melted right there. "Uncle Lou! Uncle Zee!" Niall exclaimed when he had opened the door, it banging against the wall with a loud 'bang'. "And Baby Harry!" the little Irish blonde got cut off by heavy footsteps. "Niall Payne, what have I told you about running away from daddy and answering the door? Anyone could have been there!" Liam scolded, pulling the blonde over and giving his bottom a hard swat.Niall immediately burst into tears, so the daddy heaved him onto his hip, silently beckoning the others inside. Louis and Zayn followed the guys in, Niall now hiding his face in his daddy's neck. "Make yourself at home. Ever since me and my little lad bumped into your little baby the other day, all Niall here wanted is to play with him as Harry isn't that much young than my Niall" Liam rambled on. "Any who, tea anyone?" Liam asked placing Niall on the floor. "Sure" Zayn replied as he took his coat and shoes off. "Yeah go on then. I don't usually have a hot drink around my baby boy, but he can stay in his car seat till I have drunk it, can't you baby boy?" Liam cooed turning the car seat towards him, Harry only answered with struggling and tugging at the straps."Can't let you out yet baby, let daddy drink his tea" Louis cooed, using his foot to rock the car seat back and forth as Harry started to whine and cry, in all being fussy. Louis just ignored his baby boy's crying, however he knew that right now, Harry is just having a tantrum, demanding Louis to pick him up even though he could see his daddy quite clearly.His baby needed to learn that Louis is the daddy and that he would get Harry out in his own time. At this point, Niall had stuck his head out of his daddy's neck, curiously looking at Harry, who is kicking his legs up wildly and screaming his little head off. "Baby's crying, daddy" he stated, as if Liam didn't already know. "I know, little one. Just leave him for a minute; he's just very fussy" Liam replied as he took a sip of his tea, Louis sat back, his foot still gently rocking Harry's carrier."He might need a nappy change, actually. Little thing gets so fussy when he's done a wee or poopy-" Harry cringed at the word, wailing all the more. "But I'm glad for that. Don't want him getting a rash on his bum! Hmm, I'm wondering if I should check him now" Zayn stopped him before the man could even mover. "He'll be fine for a few minutes, Lou. He's only done a little wee at most, if anything at all since it smells lovely in here!" Harry kicked his legs up even higher and screamed louder, wanting to bash his arms against himself but not finding the energy to do so.Daddy was just about to hold him! Why did Uncle Zayn have to always go and ruin everything. It seemed as though Louis had done the right thing, however for within a few moments, Harry was sniffling. His eyes closed in a matter of minutes and the daddy sighed in relief. "My own little 'trouble" he smiled fondly, unstrapping the boy and poking a finger into the leg hole of his nappy to see if there is anything wrong, Louis finding the boy completely dry. "Yep, just demanding attention" the man concluded."Say" Liam started. "Why don't you lie him on the couch for a little nap? I know he has his carrier, but the couch 'l probably be more comfortable" he offered, already setting up some cushions so that Harry could lie in between them and not fall off the couch"I guess he could have a little nap. We where after all asleep before Zayn rang us to come see you" Louis thoughtfully added. "Maybe that's why he's fussy then, he got disturbed" concluded Liam sipping from his own cup of tea.Louis crouched down and unfastened his baby boy out of the car seat, the boy latching on to his daddy as soon as possible. "come on then big guy, let's get you settled down on here for a nap" Louis laid the said little boy down, grabbing the boys blanket out of his bag and laying it over the boy. "There we go all better. Now have a nap and then we can have a snack later, okay?" Harry nodded and with Louis stroking his cheek and messing with his hair Harry is soon fast asleep, out like a light.~Whilst Harry slept on the couch, the daddies and uncle simply talked. Niall got bored of the adult talk after a while, so Liam asked him if he wanted to nap on the couch like Harry, though the little one claimed he didn't need a lot of naps like Harry because he isn't a baby. "What's this nappy for then, hmm?" Zayn laughed, pulling at the white garment sticking out from under the boy's shirt. Niall huffed, letting a few tears dribble from his eyes, causing Liam to glare at the other man."Even big boys wear nappies sometimes, Zayn" Liam affirmed pointedly, laying his baby on his chest and rubbing his back. Zayn bit his lip sheepishly" Niall's a very big boy. He was helping me with my baby Harry yesterday, weren't ya?" Louis cooed, feeling more paternal to all little's now, as he had a baby of his own. At the declaration, Niall sat up excitedly. "Yes, Uncle Lou. I helped change his nappy yesterday!" Niall gushed happy that someone knows he can be a big boy."Sorry Ni, didn't mean to sound rude or make you upset. Of course your a big boy, the biggest one I have seen!" Zayn stated feeling genuinely sorry for making the boy upset, he is defiantly doing the right join as being a daddy wouldn't suit him...well there is always the future but there is also no rush. Liam, Zayn and Louis got into an adult conversation leaving little Niall to play trains on the floor. However the little boy soon got tired of trains and so crawled over to where his sleeping 'cousin' is laid.The one thing that Niall noticed is how wet the little baby seemed to be. Harry's hair drenched along with shirt and trousers. "Daddddddyyyyyy!" Niall called out dragging the name from his mouth . Liam stopped talking and looked over to his little. "What's wrong Ni?" Liam questioned raising an eyebrow. "Baby wet and sticky" Niall proclaimed. "Its okay, the baby is just sweaty. Babies tend to when asleep" Liam commented getting back into the previous conversation he was having.Not long after, approximately fifteen minutes later Harry started moving around a lot and whining, face scrunching up ready to cry at any moment. Any baby would if there nappy had leaked through their vest, shirt and trousers, having a leak mark around where his nappy had leaked through onto the sofa. Louis leaned over to where his little baby was, frowning at the distressed look Harry was bearing."What's the matter, sweetheart?" he cooed, lifting the boy up. Needless to say, all three men were shocked when greeted with the sight of a massive wet patch on the couch! Harry sobbed, squirming away from his daddy, his bottom feeling all stingy and his entire body feeling horrible. Niall's nose scrunched up from the strong smell of urine, he's never seen so much wee before. "Baby did a big wee-wee, daddy!" Which made Harry cry all the more."Uh-oh" Louis uttered softly, laying his baby on his lap and beginning to strip him from all of his clothes. Liam got out a changing mat on the floor whilst Zayn headed for the nappy bag, pulling out a little disposable bag to rid of Harry's soaking nappy. The garment was unstrapped from the little boy's waist, making Harry wail all the more as he was now naked in-front of everyone, but Louis just rubbed his back, kissing the baby's sweaty hair. "Hey, Lou, I've got a little bath in there that Nick gave me since he thought Niall was a lot younger than his age. You could just let him have a quick soak, wash his hair? He's sporting a nasty little rash on that cute little tushy" Liam offered."Oh, that's great, thank you Liam" Louis smiled, his frown immediately returned when Harry screamed again. "Hush now, my little boy. You wanna have a nice bath, hmm? Wow, this is a fancy one, Li! All the bad water flows out!"Liam chuckled. "You can keep it if you want - we won't be using it after all" Louis was about to nod, but he had a better idea as he got his baby ready for his bath. "Well, I already have one at home, so why don't you keep it here? We'll be visiting a lot anyway so it can always be here for him if he needs it." Louis lightly suggested making Niall realize something."Just like Auntie Perrie keeps nappies for me at Jade's house because Jade's my best friend! Daddy, that means me and Harry are best friends!" Niall explained, clapping his hands vigorously. The daddy chuckled, giving his little boy a kiss on the head. "Okay, baby. We'll do that then" Louis placed Harry in the little tub gently, being as gentle as possible with the little one.The warm water irritated Harry's little bum at first, causing him to cry out more, though with the soothing words from his daddy helped him to calm down. "There we go, baby boy."Niall trotted over a few minutes later, plopping down on his bottom next to his Uncle Lou. "Can I helps you wash Harry, Uncle Lou-Lou?" he inquired, staring at the man with puppy eyes. Louis chuckled. He didn't really want Niall helping to be honest, as the boy is only a baby himself and he didn't want to risk Harry getting hurt, but he didn't want to hurt the lads feelings either."Of course you can, little one! Now, this job is for very big boys, okay?" he started, leaning into Niall's ear as he held up Harry's head. "I need you to go over there and get the nappy bag off Uncle Zayn and get a nappy, powder and cream out for Harry. There's also some clothes in there, but they're in a different section, so you'll have to look for them for a bit, but I'm sure you'll find them, because you're a very big boy!" At first, Niall wasn't too happy because he wanted to bathe the baby, not get a nappy out for him!That is boring! However, at the news that he'd have to look around for the clothes, Niall got excited. Even daddy wouldn't give him such a big task if he thought anything was out of Niall's eyesight, he'd just get it himself. So the boy shot up, pattering over to his Uncle Zayn and demanding 'kindly' for the nappy bag. The man simply smiled, handing it off.~Meanwhile, Harry is beginning to really relax in the tub. The temperature is just perfect and it made him feel small, tiny even. Over the past few days, he had really enjoyed feeling small and cared for, himself getting used to it and let whatever comes his way come. Once everywhere is clean on the little boy, Louis lifted his little out of the bath, careful of the boys rash. "This is all daddies fault, shh come on now" Louis tried to settle his baby, but his baby is too upset. "How about little one, if you behave for your daddy, you can have a chocolate bun, yeah?" Liam suggested as he held his own little.Harry eventually settled down as he really wanted a chocolate bun, his daddy... err Louis doesn't give him that kind of stuff, plus he's never had a chocolate bun or anything chocolaty to be honest. "My good little brave boy" Louis cooed, laying the boy down on the changing mat, which Liam had wiped down as a lot of wee had gotten on it before. "Now, let daddy get you in a new nappy. Thank you, Ni, for getting everything we need!" Niall blushed, shuffling over to his Uncle Lou, sinking to his knees to get a good look at Harry.He giggled as Louis lifted the little one's legs up, getting a good view of Harry's red bum. "Oi, cheeky, it's rude to look at someone's bottom" Louis laughed. Harry whined, only calming down when Louis fastened him into a new nappy Louis dressed him into a black long sleeved vest, blue shorts and a light blue shirt that had a picture of a dog on. "There you go gorgeous" Louis stated lifting his little onto his lap. "Now that's over I shall go get that chocolate bun huh?" Liam commented heading to the Kitchener with Niall."Oh aren't you such a spoilt boy eh? Even daddy never gives you such treats" Zayn commented pinching the baby's cheek, Harry glaring at the man afterwards. "I know, but this is only a one time thing alright little one? This is just for being a good boy" Harry babbled some sort of reply, honestly couldn't wait to get his first taste of chocolate.Louis decided he was going to give Harry a bottle after the bun, as he knew they settled with his baby. He wasn't sure if the chocolate bun would settle well with his baby's tummy unfortunately. Harry yanked the bun out of Louis' hands, chomping down the treat before the daddy had a chance to stop him. The daddy frowned, opening his mouth to tell his baby off, but before he could the boy brought up the remnants of the bun...all over his spare clothes. "Oh...no..." Louis moaned, shaking his head. He got his baby out of his new clothes, wanting to honestly cry. Liam bit his lip sheepishly, feeling bad he is sort of the cause for the baby's nausea"Oh my god, sorry Louis, really am. I didn't know he would react this way" Liam apologized profusely feeling so guilty and sorry. "Its honestly fine, I had a feeling it wouldn't settle with him as he has lived on the streets, he hasn't ever had that luxury. I was going to take it off of him and feed him it myself so I could monitor him, but he took it out of your hand before I could do anything" Louis replied trying to calm his friend. "Can you get me the wipes please Zayn" asked Louis sitting Harry on the sofa. "I don't want to be a bother, but do you have at least a spare shirt?" Louis asked Liam not wanting his baby to sit any longer in a shirt covered in sick..... It seriously isn't his baby's day today.Harry, meanwhile, is crying over what had happened, causing him to throw up even more. The little blonde on the floor, who had innocently been watching over the matter, is getting a bit scared. Was there something really wrong with baby Harry? Zayn, seeing this approached his nephew as Liam had gone to get a spare shirt. Picking the blonde boy up and picked him up and setting the said lad on his thighs. "Baby Harry's fine. Just got himself a bit worked up, that's all" he cooed, bouncing the boy slightly."So he won't die?" Niall asked blatantly, though with fear in his tone, Zayn couldn't help but chuckle. "No, sweetheart. He's fine" The blonde nodded his head, he felt better now for his new baby friend isn't going to die. Niall didn't know what to do as his friend is upset and sick, but the idea of giving his new friend his best cuddly toy ever could help...his cuddly giraffe named George. "Here go Harry! George make it all better" Harry's lip stopped trembling, fists stopped rubbing at his red eyes."Give George a cuddle then silly, make all the ouchies go 'way" Niall explained cutely, the curly haired boy taking it and cuddling the stuffed toy to his chest. "Oh, that's very thoughtful of Niall isn't it, baby boy?" Louis crooned, thanking Liam for the shirt he had just given him. It was one of Liam's, it basically swallowed Harry up like a big blanket. "Thank you very much, Niall. You're such a big boy!" Niall blushed from the praise, just staring at George who Harry is gazing at in pure curiosity.He'd never seen one of these things before! Did creatures like this yellow, spotty thing really exist? "Someone's curious" Louis giggled, hitching the shirt up above Harry's nappy. The baby furrowed his eyebrows for a minute, wondering what his daddy was doing, until his daddy started patting his bum slowly. Weirdly enough, it soothed him. "We'll give you a tummy break, babe. Not sure you'll be able to stomach any milk" Harry frowned......no milk? But he always has milk!Harry began t cry, George long forgotten as it dropped on to the floor. "Hey come on now. Just not your day today is it?" Louis cooed bouncing slightly as he swayed side to side, all the while patting his baby's padded bottom. When Harry didn't settle down, Louis had to excuse himself as people surrounding his baby right now isn't going to calm Harry down any much more. "Excuse us, he isn't settling down to the idea of no bottle" Louis explained walking off into another room to put his baby to sleep."Such a fussy and tired baby huh, Shut your eyes little guy you need to go to sleep" cooed Louis producing a dummy from his pocket and putting it into his baby's mouth. Reaching for his daddy, Harry kicked his legs fiercely all the while screaming through the dummy. Louis sighed. "Li, mind if I put Hazza in Niall's cot?" he called to his friend, afraid if he left Harry in the bed, he'd roll out "No problem, Lou" Liam answered loudly.Louis smiled, picking Harry up and taking him to Niall's nursery (as he was old enough to have his own room at nighttime now, according to Liam) and set him in the cot. Harry still didn't settle though, so Louis picked him right back up and took him over to the rocking chair set in the corner of the nursery. "Such a greedy boy. If you have a bocky you'll be sick, little one! Calm down for daddy now" he soothed, rocking back and forth and patting the boy's nappy-covered bum.It seemed to work, as within a few moments Harry settled against his daddy, sucking softly on his dummy and drifting off to sleep. "That's such a good boy. Have a nice nap, love you" whispered Louis as he put his sleeping baby inside his nephews cot. Louis would have loved to take his baby home, but unfortunately he couldn't as he didn't want his baby's stomach triggered by the movement of the car.Making his way downstairs, Louis plopped onto the sofa with a tired sigh, blowing his hair out of his face. "Did he finally settle?" Liam asked still feeling a little guilty. "Yeah he did eventually. You can stop blaming yourself you know" Louis chuckled as he watched Niall waddle over to his daddy. "Yeah sorry I'll try. What do you want honey-bee?" Liam directed the last part to his little who had made his way on his lap. The only answer he got was Niall patting his crotch."Nappy change huh? Okay let's go change you" Liam commented laying Niall on the floor. "oh poop I left the supplies in the room Harry's in" Liam sighed tickling his baby boy on the sides of his belly. "I'd say you could use ours but Harry uses his nappy a lot so I'm not sure we'd have enough and they're a bit...small and snug for Niall as well, Harry being younger and all" Louis stated.Zayn stood up. "It's fine. I'll get them. I doubt Harry 'l wake up with how much crying he's been doing" he chuckled lightly, though stopped when he saw the distressed look on Louis' face. "He'll be fine, Lou. He's just not having a good day." And so Zayn crept into the room, a determined look on his face as he retrieved the supplies from a little changing table in the corner of the nursery.Harry wriggled a bit, which made Zayn bite his lip in fear, but luckily the babe just turned over, babbling something to himself. Sneaking out of the room as quietly as when he came in, Zayn put a hand over his heart and nervously sighed, mission complete. God knowa what Louis would have done if Harry had woken up, killed him probably as the new daddy is over protective of his little."Here you go mate, sorry it took a while as the little mite started moving around" Zayn stated, though one look at Louis and he put his hands up in surrender. "Its all okay, he didn't wake up. The little one just mumbled something and fell right off to sleep" Zayn finished off quickly not wanting his friend to glare at him anymore. Louis nodded settling down knowing his baby boy didn't wake up, the little babe needs all the sleep he can get right now.Liam got given the supplies and started undressing the boy, the little dude only having of done a wee. "I'm wondering, Nialler. Do you wanna be like Jade and have me potty train you?" Liam asked gently. He loved having his baby boy dependent on him, but Niall seemed to growing older in everything except his potty habits and it worried him. He felt like Niall should be moving up to nursery, where Jade is but due to his 'nappy needs' he was told that the little one needed to stay in the daycare.He wasn't in the infant section, like Harry would be. he is in the toddler section, but he didn't act like an insy toddler. Niall huffed then, squirming as his daddy wiped his bottom. "No, daddy. Don't need ta learn potty tricks. I like ma nappies" he claimed, pointing at his wet nappy that Liam had placed to the side for emphasis. "Are you sure you're not getting too big, though? Jade doesn't have nappies, and Stan doesn't either" Liam raised an eye brow at his baby boy."Yeah they do. They're not meant to use them but they wee in them sometimes by accident" he stated. Liam sighed, but it was true. Maybe he'd need to tell Eleanor and Perrie that pull-ups weren't the best things to be doing potty training with "Well can you at least try for daddy then? We can get you a chart and everything! Buy some fun stickers to stick on!" gushed Liam finishing up on cleaning his baby boy up. "I promise that if you do not like them then you can be back in nappies, but I want you to at least try for me okay?" Liam suggested thinking that if Niall tried the potty training process, the boy might get accustomed to it and actually like it.Louis chuckled and shook his head at the father and son duo. He is glad that he doesn't have to worry about potty training Harry as he wanted his baby fully dependent of him for everything, well he wants Harry to be an infant for like a few years or so before moving him up to being in kindergarten at least, he wanted to enjoy the precious moments with his Little Harry, not rush into things.Harry will always be his little angel from the streets, his life, his soul and the reason he has a purpose of being alive today
