Their Little

19

"I'm tired daddy." Louis says, rubbing his eyes.

He woke up less than an hour an hour ago but the boys did tell him some pretty big news so that's wore his big and little mind out.

"I know Lou, you can have a nap soon. Let's just try and have your bottle first at least. Can you do that for me baby, hm?" Edward says, sitting on the couch before putting his arms out for his brother to hand off Louis.

Louis whines at the loss of touch for a moment until he is placed back into Edward's arms, where he cuddles into him adoringly.

Lou doesn't respond to Edward, feeling rather drained and fussy at the moment. The boys don't like seeing him upset in the slightest.

"Here little one." Harry says as he guides the bottle towards his lips.

Louis turns his head away and shakes his head, not wanting to take the bottle and longer.

The twins frown, he had just wanted the bottle minutes ago but now was starting to get grumpy from being so tired.

"It's just your bottle love. It's yummy, just try it." Edward says as Harry gently moves the bottle again.

Louis shakes his head a bit and just burrows his head into Edward's chest, not feeling motivated to do anything else.

Edward rocks him a bit, trying to convince him out so he can have his bottle but Louis doesn't budge.

The twins look at each other, both at a bit of a loss. He should definitely have his bottle before his nap and they need him to know that they are in charge. But they would never force him to do something he doesn't want to do and with knowing his past they know a gentle approach is the only way they should go about it and it's the only way they would even want to go about it.

They know he's tired and probably still a bit overwhelmed but they need to establish a system of trust.

"You are my sunshine." Harry's voice starts, knowing exactly how to help the boy.

"My only sunshine." Edward continues in a deep yet soft voice.

Louis keeps his body cuddled deeply into Edward's much larger frame but peaks his head out a bit, recognizing the song and voices that give him an unmatchable amount of comfort.

"You make me happy."

"When skies are grey."

Louis looks up at the men, an endearing look laced through his eyes.

"You'll never know dear."

Harry sings as he picks the bottle back up and very very slowly inches it back towards Louis's lips, knowing that too harsh of a movement would make him close up again.

"How much I love you." Edward continues as he looks right into Louis's twinkly little blue eyes.

"Please don't take my sunshine away." Harry finished as he gets Louis to take the bottle.

And to the boys relief, he takes it without a fuss.

"Our sweet boy." Edward smiles as he plays with Louis hair a bit.

They men continue to hum a little bit, knowing it will help keep Louis motivated to drink his bottle.

As the bottle emptied, Louis's eye lids got heavier and his eyes slowly began to close. But the boys were happy to see him happy and at peace.

He now looked to them for comfort and for love. He wasn't afraid of trusting them like he was when they started this process.

He of course was still the same shy adorable little love that they decided they wanted years ago but now he wants them too. He lets them take care of him and help him grow. And that makes them feel more than complete.

Within five minutes Louis is softly snoring, the bottle mostly empty and had been taken out of Louis's mouth and replaced with a paci.

The twins just stayed there in silence. The feeling of being able to hold him and have him still feeling unreal.

"We love you darling." They whisper, being careful to not wake Louis up.

"So much."
