Living a new life (Adopted)

chapter 14

It hadn't been a good morning for Harry.First, Daddy had woken him up early, which was guaranteed to make him unhappy, anyway, and before he'd barely had chance to wake up after breakfast, Daddy was strapping him into his carseat. Which could only mean that they were going away from home."Oh, shh, baby, it's okay," Louis cooed as he drove, thanking the heavens for the community. It was like living in the countryside; only when you came to a bend in the road, you wouldn't be worried about another car speeding around and almost knocking into you. The community was quite small, and Louis loved it.Eventually, Harry dropped off, the soothing sound of his daddy's voice and the quiet kids CD playing in the background being major factors within it.Louis, though, began to fret. He was taking Harry to Liam's for a bit, only, he'd be going away from him. Of course, he'd left Harry alone with Liam before, but he always knew that he'd only be a couple of minutes away by car.However, today, he had to travel outside of the community.He'd been scrolling through Instagram, hunting through his siblings' posts on their accounts. Of course, the account Louis used was a fake one, so nobody in his family could keep in-touch with him, but that didn't mean he didn't care. Lottie and Fizzy, two of his younger sisters, didn't have their accounts set to private, and although he wanted to massively scold them, he also felt relieved, as it meant he could see exactly what they were doing without requesting to follow them. They'd never know who exactly was looking at them secretly online.According to one of Lottie's mots recent posts, however, one of their sisters, Daisy was very sick. And Louis needed to see her.When he went, however, he just knew that his mum and stepdad would question him for ages, hence why he was worried. What if they never let him go? Heck, what if they locked him up to ensure he wouldn't disappear like last time?Shaking his head of the thoughts, Louis carried on driving, sighing as he soon found himself parking outside his friends house. Taking a moment to gather his thoughts , Louis unbuckled himself and took the key out of the ignition before slipping out of the car and around Harry's side of the car to get the boy out. "Come on then baby boy" Louis smiled, seeing the little with one of his hands in his mouth, saliva covering the soft small hand. Louis lifted the car seat out with his little boy in it and shut the door, locking the car before heading to his friends front door.Liam was already showered and clean shaven, looking as fresh as a daisy. Niall, however, was very moody. He swung his daddy's hand from his place beside him, and miserably snuggled into him. "We haven't had the best morning. Someone didn't want to get up," Liam chuckled awkwardly, standing aside and ushering Niall out the way, so Louis could get in. Niall pouted and stomped his foot.Smiling, Louis said: "Seems like we've got two sets of grumpy guts' today. My little one's always grumpy, though. What's ta do, Nialler?" Niall growled, and Liam smacked his bottom lightly. "Don't be rude, Niall. Uncle Lou was only asking you a question. Say sorry, please."With wobbling lips, Niall cried: "B-but Baby Harry alw-ways growls.""Harry's a little baby. I expect better from a big boy," Liam scolded.And Niall was jealous. Because every single time Harry came over, Daddy looked at him like he was a child of the Gods. Just because he was smaller and more dependent than Niall, Daddy thought he was something special. Everyone did.Niall huffed and folding his arms, but one stern look from his daddy he unfolded them and looked at the other baby and daddy pair. "S-owwy Uncle Lou, S-Sorry hazzy" Louis nodded and smiled his thanks, but Harry didn't really hundred percent get what was going on, so just made a grumpy noise."Please, sit down. Do you have time for a tea?" Liam asked, asking Niall to get some toys and set them on the floor. "Err yeah I think so. Go on I will have a quick one" Louis replied bending down and reaching for the baby carrier to get his baby out of the carrier.Harry still nibbling on his hand."Come on, sweetheart, let's say hi to Uncle LiLi," Louis cooed, hoisting his baby out of the carrier and placing him on his hip. He hooked the baby's fist out of his mouth, much to Harry's dismay, the little whining. "You can't eat your hand, baby boy."Laughing, Liam stirred the cups of tea. "Niall used to be awful for doing that. Even though it drove me crazy, I miss him being so small. He wasn't ever as small as your baby, but still."Niall's ears perked up at the sound of his name, and unbeknownst to his daddy or Uncle Louis, he very much eavesdropped on their conversation. And he was glad he did, for it all seemed to click in his mind; Daddy wanted a little baby to care for.Well, Niall was very much a big boy, but he could try.As soon as Uncle Louis left, he'd try and act exactly like Harry did. That way, Daddy wouldn't be able to pay as much attention to Harry. It was perfect!"Thanks for looking after him Li, I appreciate it" Louis smiled, placing his baby on the floor, back to floor as he put some baby toys in his baby's reach.Niall did the same. laying on his back and playing with a toy in his hands. And when Harry dropped the toy and instead grabbed his tiny shoe covered feet, so did Niall along with all the gurgling noises,"Aww look at them, playing copy cat" Louis cooed, waving at his baby when Harry looked over at him when he brought his shoe covered foot to his mouth. "Ah, ah no baby. Let daddy take your shoes off" Louis cooed as he knelt on the floor and unfastened the velcro shoes he had put on his baby boy."Your welcome, I did offer so I wouldn't of asked if i minded" Liam replied placing the cups of tea next to them and out of reach of Niall and Harry."Well, I'm glad to know it doesn't bother you," Louis chuckled, and Liam chuckled also.Meanwhile, Harry and Niall were still laying on the floor, Harry abandoning his legs so he could try and get some toys. Daddy had placed a purple octopus toy in his reach, and as Harry had never seen an octopus before, he was curious to see what it was.But of course, because Harry wanted it, Niall wanted it, too.Just as Harry's plump little fingers curled around one of the slippery tentacles, Niall's hand grasped the octopus' head. Harry whined when Niall began to tug it harshly, but the latter only glared. When Harry slid forward to attempt to hold it tighter, Niall kicked his head out, and poor Harry flew back, all of the wind being knocked out of him.Louis and Liam saw everything.From the shock, and slight pain on his abdomens, Harry began to bawl, tears gushing down his cheeks.Whilst Louis tended to his hysterical little, Liam grabbed Niall's arm and hurled him up, pushing him into the kitchen, where he proceeded to shout at his baby.Louis rocked his baby back and forth. He really needed to go and see his sick sister, but his baby is still upset. "Come on baby calm down now please. Uncle LiLi is telling NiNi off. He won't be mean to my baby anymore" Louis cooed, kissing the boys mop of hair and running the boys marked tummy. "I have to go now baby, but I am sure Nini won't be causing anymore troubles, huh?" Harry just sniffled, laying his head on the man's shoulder and sucking his dummy, pulling at his lashes.Soon enough, Liam returned, a red-eyed Niall stood in-front of him. He walked towards Harry and Louis, and, with his head hung in shame, muttered a quiet "sorry".Louis nodded. "As long as it doesn't happen again. Uncle Louis won't visit any more if you're mean to my baby," he warned. When it came to his baby boy, he was very protective. Even if he was dealing with a little.Niall sniffled lightly, and returned to his daddy's side, grasping a little chubby hand over Liam's shirt. Liam looked down at him sternly but didn't say anything."Right then, I'm off, now. I'll pass you over to Uncle LiLi baby, okay? I'll miss you very, very much," Louis cooed, kissing his baby's head.He said he wouldn't, but without warning, tears started to gather in his eyes. Leaving a child with someone else for quite a long period of time is hard for any good parent, especially for the first time."Maybe I could take him with me-""Louis," Liam chimed in, shaking his head, and that was enough for Louis to hesitantly hand his baby over. He knew it was out of the question, as his parents would want to know exactly were Harry came from, but he just wanted his baby with him."Fine. Okay I'll leave. Bye baby boy" Liam coo ed s he kissed his boys head of curls and waved, they only reacting with a few shouts and waning out of the man's arm to get to his daddy. "Dadddyyyyy!!!!!! Wan' dadddyyyy!!!!" The boy cried, Liam giving his friend a pointed look to say 'get moving I've got this' which Louis nodded sadly and eff out of the door.The poor snotty and teary eyed boy getting left behind."Ohhhh, what to dooo?" Liam cooed, bouncing the baby lightly."Daddyyyyyy!" Harry wailed, twisting against Liam's grip, however he couldn't move. Uncle Li was just too strong!"Naughty baby," Niall mumbled, and Louis looked at him disapprovingly."He's not being naughty Ni. He's just grumpy because his daddy has left him. There's a difference. Now how about you be a big boy and help me calm baby hazzy down?" Niall just shrugged, didn't want to get shouted at by his daddy again. "Good, sit down with Harry while I bring your old blocks down, he'll love playing with them" Liam sat Harry down with Niall, but as soon as the man did, Harry cried for louder and more upsetting.Niall didn't like it, so just say there while he waited for his daddy to come back with his bag of blocks.Liam had returned ten minutes later, only to see a still very upset Harry and a bored Niall, arms crossed and legs sprawled out on the floor."Good to see you did as I asked," Liam muttered, setting the blocks down and going straight to Harry. Niall glared at the two, feeling particularly angry at Harry for 'stealing' his daddy away.Harry clung onto Liam, his head burying itself deeply into the daddy's chest. Although Liam wasn't his daddy, he made an okay substitute. "It's awful, sweetheart. I know," Liam cooed, emptying the blocks out onto the floor. "Here, babe, look at the blocks. Should we have a go?"However, before Harry could even look at the block properly, Niall had snatched it out of Liam's hand."Mine," he claimed, eyes narrowing at both his daddy and Harry."Niall that wasn't very nice, was it?" Liam questioned, sighing as he just wanted his baby to behave nicely for Harry is being clingy just for the fact of Niall being too much.Niall didn't care that he had been told to play nice, these are his blocks, his blocks that Daddy got him, not his blocks for Harry to play with.That wasn't fair. The blonde did not care about the whole 'sharing is caring' thing as if its his, then it's no one else's. Especially some dumb baby."Niall please play nice, make it easier for daddy yeah?" Liam pleaded, rocking the curly haired babe in his lap side to side. Wasn't ling anyway until his nephew needed to go down for a nap, all babies need naps.Niall just stood there with the block cuddled to his chest.Did he want to be good for his daddy, or did he want to go against his daddy's words and miss behave?Maybe he could let Harry play with a few building blocks, make his daddy proud that he is sharing, then the spot light will be all on him."Kay" the blonde sighed, hesitantly giving his cousin the block back. He can play with better non-baby things anyway.
