Harry: 21
Camryn: 21. 17 weeks pregnant
Darcy: 4
Lennon: 2
Auggie: 14 months (1 year and 2 months)
"What color do you want, cute girl?"Camryn asks, holding out the nail polish colors that she's collected over the years between her and Harry in front of Darcy who's sitting against the arm of the couch with her little feet propped up on the cushion that's covered with a towel to protect the cushion from any misplaced paint.
"Mmmm, pink,"Darcy grins cheekily, pointing at the hot pink bottle in Camryn's hand before sticking her hand in her bowl of popcorn and throwing a few pieces in her mouth.
"How did I know you were going to choose that?"Camryn giggles, shaking her head and putting all of the colors away into a plastic bag except the hot pink one.
"Dada has blue toes, mummy,"Darcy grins, sucking on her pointer finger to get the butter off of it. "And you have purple!"
"That's right! We still have our nail polish on our toes from when you painted our nails over the weekend, huh?"Camryn nods with a huge smile beginning to paint the polish onto Darcy's little toenail. "You did such a good job painting them."
"I was very careful,"Darcy nods with a big grin, putting another popcorn kernel in her mouth. "You want some mama?"
"Ooo, I'd love some,"Camryn grins, leaning forward and over her little baby bump as she opens her mouth for Darcy to place a popcorn in her mouth. "Mmm, that's really good, isn't it!"
"It's really good,"Darcy agrees with a big nod and wide blue eyes as she giggles at Camryn scrunching her nose.
"The baby loves it,"Camryn says through a muffled voice as she continues to chew the popcorn, grinning at Darcy who's looking right at her mum's seventeen week baby bump.
"Popcorn makes the baby happy,"Darcy beams, throwing another few kernels into her mouth.
"Popcorn does make the baby happy,"Camryn confirms, looking down at Darcy's tiny toes that she loves to munch on, painting her tiny toenails that are almost impossible to see unless they have polish on them letting you know where they are. "You know what else makes the baby happy?" She raises her eyebrows and looks up at Darcy who shakes her head and intently watches her mum. "When you give them kisses."
"The baby loves me,"Darcy grins proudly, tucking her chin to her chest as she peers down at her mum painting her toenails. "It's excited to see me cuz I'm their big sister!"
"You're so right, babe! They're going to be so excited to see you because they love you!"Camryn smiles lovingly, leaning down to press a little kiss to Darcy's shin. "The baby can't wait to meet you."
"I like when the little boys are asleep,"Darcy innocently says, patting her little palms against her legs that are covered by her black leggings.
"You do?"Camryn grins, holding Darcy's ankle in her hand to make sure her foot is as still as possible. "I like it too because I get to spend time alone with my girl."
"Mummy, daddy went with Uncle Lou,"Darcy lisps, playing with her little finger nails that are painted purple, the same color as Camryn's toes, that have begun to chip a bit. "And they're going to write songs."
"That's right,"Camryn confirms with a big grin, nodding her head as she uses the tip of her nail to get some of the paint off of Darcy's skin that she accidentally got on while she was painting her nails. "They're gonna write some songs, do you think they'll be about you?"
"Noooo,"Darcy giggles, shaking her head as she reaches her hand into the popcorn bowl again.
"No? I think they will,"Camryn smirks up at Darcy, winking at her as she giggles and tucks her chin to her chest, creating a little double chin. "How'd you get so cute, hmm?"
"Nana says angels kissed me,"Darcy cheekily replies, tapping her pointer fingers against her cheeks that are sprinkled with freckles that Anne calls "angel kisses".
"I think angels kissed you too,"Camryn giggles, screwing the cap of the nail polish on to allow the first coat of Darcy's nails to dry as she leans over Darcy to nuzzle her lips against her freckly cheeks. "I understand why they did, you're just so kissable! Mwah mwah mwah!"

"Oh, one of our boys are up, DD,"Camryn grins, reaching for the baby monitor that was placed beside her on the couch as Darcy and her watched reruns of Cupcake Wars also known as Darcy's latest show obsession. "Looks like our girl time is over."
"Auggie can join,"Darcy allows, raising her head slightly up from where it was resting on Camryn's chest as she peers over at the baby monitor where she finds her little brother beginning to stir and whimper awake, rolling around in his little sleep sac in his crib.
"That's so nice of you,"Camryn grins, combing her fingers through Darcy's brown curls as she presses a kiss to the top of her head, her cheek still placed against Camryn's chest. "I'm gonna go get him before he gets too upset, okay?"
"Okay,"Darcy agrees, moving off of Camryn tiredly and instead settling for laying down across the couch cushions as she continues to watch the show in front of her while Camryn stands up from the couch and makes her way upstairs just as Auggie's little cries ring through the baby monitor.
"I'm comin', bubba, I'm comin',"Camryn whispers to herself with a little grin as she begins to make her way up the stairs, hearing Auggie's cries ring through the hall from his little nursery.
Harry and her never force their kids to stop bed sharing, instead they try to gently transition them when another baby comes around so that they're not constantly being woken up by a newborn throughout the night. This didn't work too well with Lennon since he's so attached to Camryn and he was only 11 months old when Auggie was born, so they slept with both Lennon and Auggie in their bed for a little more than a year before they slowly helped Lennon make the transition into his own bed a month ago. It's definitely not perfect, not even close considering Lennon's never made it through a full night in his bed since he's been transitioned, but last night he didn't come into Camryn and Harry's room until 2 am which they both consider a win.
They wouldn't be so adamant about getting Lennon in his own bed if there wasn't another baby coming around, but they know that as much as they love their kids, having three of them sleeping in their bed every night would be a bit much. Their bed is definitely big enough to fit at least three people, and even four pretty comfortably, but five is definitely pushing it.
So, to try and transition the boys a bit better and get them more familiar with sleeping in their own rooms, Camryn has been putting them down for their nap in their little rooms, which is where Auggie currently is right now.
"Is that my Auggie bubba I hear?"Camryn coos as she walks into the nursery that's painted light green with light trying to break through the blinds on the window, casting a few shadows over the carpeted floor. This room as been a nursery for all of their babies, but with each one they change the decor of it to make it fit the child more.
"Oh hello, sweetheart,"Camryn grins widely with a little giggle as she watches Auggie's cheek shoot up from the mattress that he was laying against, his pacifier in his mouth as he continues to cry pitifully with red eyes and tears leaking down his cheeks.
"What's all of this about, huh? Did you wake up?"Camryn sympathetically smiles, crossing the room and holding her hands out for Auggie who sits up in his crib, his sleep sac preventing him from being able to stand up well.
"Oh there's my handsome boy,"Camryn coos, reaching down into the crib as Auggie reaches his little hands up towards her, whimpering as he bounces on his bum slightly.
His straight blonde hair is sleep messed and sticking up all on the right side with a bit of drool dried on his left cheek, his cheeks rosy with sleep and his big blue eyes a bit red rimmed from both his sleep and his little cry afterwards.
"Oh hello, I've gotcha,"Camryn murmurs, pulling Auggie out of the crib and hugging him tightly to her chest as she cups the back of his head, pressing a few kisses to the top of his head while his cheek falls to her chest. "There's my good boy. I missed you while you were asleep. Did you sleep good?"
She continues to sway her hips side to side as she keeps her nose buried in Auggie's soft hair, breathing in the baby shampoo as his little fingers reach up to hold onto the neckline of her shirt.
"I love you so much, you're such a good boy,"Camryn gently praises, combing her fingers through Auggie's white blonde hair. "Thank you for the snuggles, mummy loves your snuggles."
"Should we rock a bit?"Camryn suggests, pressing one more kiss to the top of Auggie's head before walking over to the white rocking chair in the corner of the room that they've had since Darcy was born, a present from Robin and Anne, and sits down on it, repositioning Auggie in her arms to be cradled and looking up at her.
"Hi pretty mister,"Camryn whispers, reaching her hand down to rub her fingertip against Auggie's sticky and damp cheeks, brushing away a few leftover tears that are still creaking out of his big blue eyes.
"I love you so much,"Camryn coos, grinning down at Auggie as he reaches over to wrap her hand around Auggie's, rubbing her thumb against his little knuckles as their blue eyes continue to stare into each other. "You're so amazing. Mummy loves you so much."
She continues to drag the soles of her feet against the carpet as the chair rocks back and forth, their eyes never leaving each other as Auggie continues to suck at his pacifier, completely at ease now that he's in his mumma's arms.
"You're the sweetest baby,"Camryn murmurs, bringing Auggie's little hand that's in hers up to her lips and pressing a kiss to his palm. "Thank you for always being so sweet and easygoing. You make life really easy, Auggie Bear."
"M-M-M-M-M-Milk,"Auggie's voice muffles around his little pacifier, wiggling his hand out of Camryn's hand and reaching towards her shirt, touching her chest. His little smart brain can already say almost any word and attribute them to objects despite being just barely a year old.
"You want to eat?"Camryn smiles, nodding her head as she leans down to press a kiss to Auggie's forehead. "You can have milk, of course, lovey."
She reaches for the hem of her shirt before thinking better of it and looking back down at Auggie. "Should we go downstairs while you eat so that we don't leave DD alone for too long?" She reaches her hand up to brush back Auggie's blonde hair. "I don't want her to get lonely."
She stands up from the rocking chair with Auggie still cradled in her arms as she begins the trek downstairs, tip toeing in front of Lennon's room to allow him to get as much sleep as his little body needs.
"Hi Auggie,"Darcy sweetly smiles, popping her head up from the couch cushions as she looks up at her little brother who's cradled in their mum's arms, her little bump peeking out under his body.
"Say hi big sister Darcy,"Camryn coos, wrapping her fingers around Auggie's little wrist and making it wave.
"D-D-D-Dawcee,"Auggie lisps around his pacifier, pointing his finger towards his big sister who also happened to be his first word when he started speaking at seven months.
"Darcy? That is Darcy, you're so smart,"Camryn encourages, nodding her head with a big smile as she leans down to press a kiss against Auggie's forehead.
"Can we sit next to you, missy moo?"Camryn asks, sitting down on the couch cushion right next to Darcy as she scoots closer to her mumma and little brother, nuzzling her temple and cheek against Camryn's bicep as Camryn pulls up her shirt to allow Auggie to latch onto her breast.
"There we go, there you are,"Camryn murmurs as Auggie latches onto her nipple, immediately taking pull from it as he holds his pacifier up towards Camryn, offering it to her.
"Oh thank you for your binky,"Camryn grins, taking Auggie's pacifier and setting it on the couch next to her hip. "Are you gonna fall back asleep on us, mister? You better not because you'll never sleep tonight if you do."
"He's got sleepy eyes, mumma,"Darcy hums, peering over at her little brother who's still attached to Camryn's chest, his big blue eyes drooping a bit as he gently places his palm against her bare breast.
"He does have sleepy eyes,"Camryn agrees with a grin, leaning down to press a kiss to Auggie's forehead.
"Mummy, I watchin' Lennie, but he's not up,"Darcy informs Camryn, holding up the second baby monitor that was placed in her lap and showing it to Camryn. Little Lennon is laying on his stomach in a sleep sac of his own with his arms out wide and a pacifier in his mouth as well, his brown curls falling into his eyes.
"Oh awesome, thanks for watching the monitor for me, baby,"Camryn grins, leaning over to press a kiss to Darcy's forehead. "After Auggie's done eating I'll get up and make you a snack, okay? You've gotta be getting hungry too."
*
"Would you two rather have fishie crackers or yogurt?"Camryn asks, holding up the bag of crackers in her left hand and the strawberry yogurt container in her right, looking at little Auggie who's sat in his high chair with his pacifier in while Darcy sits on a kitchen chair right next to him, sitting sideways so that she can look at Camryn.
"Gummy yogurt!"Darcy requests with a big lopsided smile as Camryn raises her eyebrows to her forehead teasingly.
"Gummy yogurt?! I dunno about that...I think that's just a special treat that daddy gives you,"Camryn smirks slyly, narrowing her eyes at Darcy who giggle and shakes her head, holding onto the back of the kitchen chair.
"Please mumma...pleaseeeeee,"Darcy begs, pouting her lips out in a way that she knows Camryn will never be able to say no to.
"Fine,"Camryn jokingly sighs with a teasing eye roll, smiling to herself as she hears Auggie and Darcy cheer while she puts the yogurt onto the counter and reaches up into the cabinet for the bag of gummy bears that they have.
She scoops a bit of the yogurt into little plastic bowls before sprinkling in a few gummy bears on top to create a specialty dish of Harry's that he made up that the kids all go crazy for, so much so that they've had to limit them to eating it only a few days a week since Darcy used to refuse to eat her dinner unless she could have "gummy yogurt" as her side dish.
She brings the two bowls over to the kids, setting one in front of Auggie on his little tray as he bounces up and down happily in his seat before placing the other bowl in front of Darcy on the table. "How's that? Does it look as good as when daddy makes it?"
"Yeah,"Darcy smiles widely, picking up her little spoon and digging into her food, eating it with a hum. "Tastes good, mummy."
"It tastes good?"Camryn giggles, reaching out to swipe off a bit of strawberry yogurt from the corner of Darcy's lips. "Good, I'm glad it does."
"Mummy, Lennie's missing gummy yogurt,"Darcy frowns, watching as her mum takes a seat on the other side of Auggie's high chair in case he's in need of any help.
"That's okay, if he wants some when he wakes up I can make some for him,"Camryn responds with a little grin as she watches Auggie discard his spoon, instead reaching into his yogurt with his fingers and pulling out a yogurt covered gummy bear that he immediately puts in his mouth. "Oh you're gonna be a mess after this, bubba, but I think dada should have to do bath time tonight, what do you think?"
"D-D-D-Dada,"Auggie babbles, continuing to suck the pink yogurt off of his fingers as he looks at Camryn with his big blue eyes.
"That's right, dada,"Camryn encourages with a nod as she looks down at the baby monitor in her hand that shows Lennon beginning to toss and turn in his crib, knuckling at his eyes to try and wipe the sleep away. "Looks like Lennie wants to join our party."
"I'll be right back, 'kay you too?"Camryn says, standing up from her chair and running her fingers through Auggie's hair. "Don't get into any trouble while I'm gone." She points her finger at Darcy and scrunches her nose, narrowing her eyes at her little girl as Darcy giggles and tucks her curls behind her ears.
Camryn walks out of the kitchen and towards the stairs, resting a hand on her bump as she holds onto the banister with her other hand, making her way to the second floor of the house where she can hear Lennon's cries beginning to travel their way down the hall.
"Is that my bubby I hear?"Camryn coos as she opens up Lennon's door, flicking off the sound machine that plays white noise while he sleeps since he didn't inherit Harry's gene that he passed onto Darcy and Auggie of being able to sleep through war.
"Mama,"Lennon cries, standing up in his sleep sac and holding onto the railing of his crib with tears rolling down his big chubby cheeks, his curls laying crazily on top of his head that make him resemble Harry even more with his pacifier laying on the mattress a few feet away from him.
"Oh there's my boy,"Camryn smiles widely, holding her hands out towards Lennon as she walks towards his crib where he's holding both of his arms out towards her, beginning to bounce up and down in anticipation, begging her through his actions to move faster and pick him up.
"Hi my sweet boy,"Camryn murmurs with a little huff as she pulls Lennon out of the crib and immediately up to her chest, hugging him tightly as she rubs her hand up and down his back, pressing kisses to the top of his head as he buries his face into the hollow of her throat, sniffling pitifully.
"Oh why're you sad, huh?"Camryn frowns sympathetically, nuzzling her nose into Lennon's curls. "You know mummy always comes to getcha when you wake up, why're you crying? Mummy doesn't like to see you cry.
"Are you just so snuggly?"Camryn hums, resting her cheek down against the top of Lennon's head as she continues to sway their bodies, his little bum resting on top of her bump. "I love your snuggles. Your snuggles make mummy so happy."
Lennon pops his little head up slowly, sniffling up at Camryn as he brings one of his hands up to sleepily fist at his eye before leaning his forehead down a bit to land against Camryn's lips that break out into a smile and press a few gentle kisses there.
"Should we go downstairs and see Darcy and Auggie? They've been waiting for you,"Camryn murmurs against Lennon's forehead. "And you can have a snack. You can have milk or a gummy yogurt..."
"Milk,"Lennon sleepily smiles, blinking his groggy green eyes up at Camryn as she giggles and nods her head, resting her forehead against Lennon's warm one.
"Milk? How did I know you were gonna say that?"Camryn teases, dropping her lips to press a little kiss against his pink and plump lips. "Of course you can have milk, mumma will nurse you downstairs, okay?"
She walks downstairs with Lennon still in her arms, his little feet bouncing against the middle of her thighs since she's so small in stature and he's so big. She walks into the kitchen where Auggie and Darcy are a complete mess with yogurt all over their faces as they look over at Camryn with the cheekiest little grins that she could never get angry at.
"Oh my gosh you two,"Camryn laughs, shaking her head in disbelief, "Gussy, how'd you get yogurt in your eyebrow?!"
"Mummy, he went like this,"Darcy giggles, biting down on her lower lip as she face palms her head into her hand to demonstrate what she watched Auggie do just a few minutes prior.
"Oh my gosh, you two are crazy,"Camryn giggles, sitting down next to Auggie's high chair again and looking at his little clothes that are absolutely destroyed with stains of pink yogurt, but she supposes that was her fault, she should've known to take off his shirt before he started eating. "What am I gonna do with you?!"
She repositions Lennon in her arms, cradling him as he reaches for the hem of her shirt, helping her unveil her bra as his tiny chubby hands reach for her breast. "Oh hey, mister, that's mine,"Camryn laughs, shaking her head down at her eager baby boy as she reaches to take her breast out of her bra and offer it to him. "You're your daddy's son."
"Yeah, daddy is Lennie's daddy too,"Darcy hums with a nod, scraping the bottom of her bowl innocently as she licks at her yogurt covered lips.
"He is,"Camryn giggles, smirking over at her little girl who's just too innocent and she loves it. "I love you three, did you know that?"

"How did you get Cam to agree to this?"Louis asks with a chuckle, holding his helmet under his arm as he walks beside Harry into his garage where there are two motorcycles lined up next to his car.
"I didn't..."Harry whispers, glancing to the side at Louis who raises his eyebrows over at Harry with a crumpled up expression.
"Haz..."Louis murmurs uncertainly, his gut telling him that this is a stupid idea, although he's normally the one of the boys to listen to their gut the least.
"She'll never know, it's fine,"Harry promises, nonchalantly waving his hand at Louis as they approach the motorcycles, one of Harry's and the other one Louis'.
"She hates when you go on this thing,"Louis points out, hanging his helmet on the handlebar of the motorcycle as he checks a few buttons. "That's why she made you give it to me."
"She won't know, it's fine,"Harry assures Louis, feeling deep in his heart a guilt that he knows he should listen to. He shouldn't be lying to Camryn, he never lies to her, but he just really wants to ride on his bike. He's been missing it ever since she made him get rid of it a year ago. "No harm no foul."
"If you fall off this thing I'm not calling Cam,"Louis warns, swinging his leg around the motorcycle and positioning himself on top of it, "that will be your job."
"I'm not gonna fall off, I've ridden this motorcycle hundreds of times,"Harry blows off Louis' concerns as he climbs onto his own bike, pressing on a few buttons as Louis continues to look at him with a crumpled up expression, the creases in his forehead forming.
"You haven't ridden it since she made you get rid of it a year ago,"Louis tries to point out. He's been on the receiving end of Camryn's wrath a few times when he's encouraged Harry to do dangerous or overly stupid things, and he'd rather not get on her nerves again, especially a pregnant Camryn. He'd rather run through fire.
"She'll never know,"Harry insists again, rolling his eyes at Louis as he kicks up his brake stand and begins to ride out of Louis' garage with Louis following behind.
*
It's like it happens in slow motion in his eyes. All he knows is that one second he's watching Harry ride a few feet in front of him, cruising down the highway, and the next second he's watching Harry's bike fall over, throwing Harry off of it to the side as the bike skids a few meters away down the street.
Harry falls into a heap on the side of the road, his body like a rag doll as a sickening crack rings through his ear.
"HAZ!"Louis yells, slamming on his breaks so fast that it almost sends him over his handlebars as well. He jumps off of the bike, throwing it down against the floor as he bolts over to Harry's crumpled up body, kneeling down in front of his best friend.
"Haz? Harry, Harry, mate,"Louis panics, turning Harry's floppy body onto his back as he reaches towards Harry's helmet with shaky hands to try and pull it over his head. "Haz, buddy, wake up, c'mon Haz."
He successfully gets Harry's helmet off, finding his best friend unconscious with his eyes closed and his mouth wide open, but luckily he's still breathing according to his chest moving up and down.
"Haz, bud, c'mon,"Louis frets, his heart pounding against his chest as he reaches up to pat on Harry's cheeks. "C'mon, f*ck, sh*t, c'mon Haz..."
He finds it in his frazzled mind to be able to have sense enough to reach for his phone in the front pocket of his jeans, pulling it out as he immediately dials for emergency services.
"C'mon Haz, wake up,"Louis whispers quickly, rubbing his palm against Harry's chest. "Wake the f*ck up, Haz."
The emergency services finally pick up the phone and he relays all of the information to them, being quickly assured that an ambulance is on their way to get them before he hangs up the phone.
Harry gruffly winces, his brows pinching as he begins to rouse awake slightly, his eyes not yet gaining the strength to open up yet.
"Haz, hey, c'mon, open up your eyes it's okay,"Louis encourages, keeping his hand against Harry's upper chest as he looks at his best friend with the most worried eyes.
His face is pretty much unscathed except for a bruise against his cheek where his helmet collided with his skin. His clothes however did not make it through as well. His black shirt is torn all over his chest, revealing his muscles beneath it as well as his black skinny jeans that have a huge hole on his upper thigh and one on his shin.
"Mm,"Harry winces, squinting his eyes open as he looks up at his best friend, his vision pretty blurred as he blinks a few times to try and get Louis' face more in focus, but it doesn't work, if anything it makes his face more blurred.
"You're okay, just stay still, okay? An ambulance is coming,"Louis informs Harry, reaching to pull a little pebble off of Harry's cheek that made a tiny indent in his skin. "You crashed your bike, it's okay, you'll be fine."
"F*ck,"Harry groans with a gruff voice that's barely audible as he turns his head to the side against the black pavement.
"F*ck is right, mate,"Louis sighs, reaching a hand up to wipe down his face as he tries to inspect Harry's body further, only then realizing his foot. His foot that's turned int he completely wrong direction. "Holy sh*t, holy sh*t."
"Hmm?"Harry asks with a little murmurs, foggily blinking his eyes at his best friend who's still looking down at Harry's ankle.
"How are you not feeling that?...does your left foot hurt, mate?"Louis asks, his own foot starting to hurt just at the sight of Harry's twisted ankle.
"Mmm, kinda, what's wrong?"Harry murmurs, lulling his head to the other side as adrenaline continues to pound through his veins, preventing him from feeling any of the broken bones in his leg.
"Nothing, I'm sure you're fine,"Louis lies, shaking his head and patting his palm against Harry's chest again, not wanting to worry him as he changes his attention back to Harry's face since it doesn't make him want to puke, unlike his sideways foot. "The ambulance will be here soon and we'll get you to a hospital."
*
"F*CKING HELL!"Harry shouts, his fingers clenching against the pavement below him as one of the paramedics digs his fingers into Harry's stomach, his jaw clenching as he tries not to cry out again.
"I know, I'm sorry, mate,"the paramedic apologizes with a frown, taking his hands away and reaching into his bag for something, "you've definitely got at least two broken ribs."
"I'm just gonna stabilize your foot for when we transfer you, okay mate?"the other paramedic warns Harry as he slides a stint under Harry's foot that's still turned to the side and bent in a way no foot should ever be bent.
"Lou will you call Cam?"Harry requests, his jaw still clenched in pain as he grimaces, the paramedics continuing to work with his body to try and get him stable before they put him in the ambulance.
"Yeah, I got it,"Louis promises, still kneeling right beside Harry's head. "I'll call her when we're in the ambulance."
"Alright mate, are you ready for us to get you into the ambulance?"the paramedic asks, but Harry knows that he's going in there no matter what his answer is.
"Yeah,"he mumbles, nodding his head painfully as the paramedics make eye contact, counting to three before they hoist Harry's body up on the stretcher.
"Damm*t! OW!"Harry groans as his teeth clench together again, an ache running through his whole body, especially his stomach as the paramedics carry him over to the ambulance, one of them climbing in the back with him along with Louis.
"Took a pretty gnarly fall there, bud,"the paramedic makes conversation as he grabs an IV bag for Harry, in no rush to get anything set up since his vitals are completely fine as the ambulance begins to move.
"Yeah,"Harry agrees, swallowing thickly and noticing for the first time just how dry his throat is. "I don't even remember honestly."
"First time on a bike?"the paramedic asks, taking Harry's hand, his palm ripped and bloodied from the pavement, a few pebbles still stuck in it as he inserts the IV, not even making Harry so much as flinch because of the pain his middle half and leg are currently in. It's not so much a red hot and searing pain, it's more of a pounding ache that won't go away.
"Nah, I've had it since I was eighteen,"Harry replies, closing his eyes tiredly as the paramedic hangs the IV bag, "my wife made me get rid of it a year ago cuz she said it was dangerous."
"She's gonna be thrilled about this I presume,"the paramedic jokes with a smirk, shaking his head with a little chuckle as he pulls out his clipboard to begin writing down all of Harry's stats.
"Think I can just not tell her?"Harry asks with a little smirk, squinting his eyes open at the paramedic who snorts out another laugh and shakes his head.
"I think the broken ribs and ankle will be pretty hard to hide from her,"the paramedic jokes back, pulling out his stethoscope to take one last listen to Harry's heart so that he can write down the stats.
"Well at least it's not like she's pregnant or anything, so she totally doesn't have an absurd amount of hormones running through her body that would make it easy for her to overreact,"Louis smirks slyly, looking at Harry with an evil look as Harry looks at him with an eye roll. "Oh wait..."
"Oh sh*t, she's pregnant,"the paramedic asks, his eyes almost popping out of his head as he listens to the situation get worse and worse. It would be one thing if she just told him to get rid of his bike and he lied to her, it's a completely different thing for that all to happen and for her to be pregnant. "First baby?"
Harry shakes his head and closes his eyes again, dread filling his whole body as he thinks about the ass whooping that he's about to endure from Camryn, "fourth."
"No sh*t,"the paramedic gawks, his eyes going wide as he looks down at his clipboard to confirm that Harry is indeed only twenty one years old.
"Yep,"Harry sighs, reaching his battered hand up to brush away some of his long curls from his face, tucking the strand behind his ear.
"You know how those things are made, right?"the paramedic teases, giving Harry the same joke that him and Camryn get anytime they're around strangers with their three kids, especially now that Camryn has a baby bump as well.
"Nah, I don't actually, it just keeps randomly happening,"Harry jokes back, resting his hand on top of his stomach before he thinks better of it, responding to the ache with a grimace, completely forgetting that he currently has two broken ribs.
"At least you're alive,"Louis offers, his phone in his hand, but he's yet to gain the courage to call Camryn. He's about two seconds away from just putting the phone on speaker so that Harry can tell her himself.
"I won't be once Camryn gets a hold of me,"Harry sighs, wiping his palm down his face as he groans dramatically, trying to enjoy his final few minutes of peace.
Louis snickers, shaking his head at his best friend and basking in the glory of not being married nor having children. His life is his to live and it's times like this that he's grateful he doesn't have any person that depends on him or to belong to. "She's gonna kick your ass."
"She's gonna kill my ass,"Harry corrects Louis, lulling his head to the side of the hospital bed to look at Louis with a frown.
"You were a great friend,"Louis indulges, saluting Harry before putting his hand over his heart teasingly.
"Tell my mother I love her,"Harry sighs, flinging his head back against the hospital bed and praying that Camryn doesn't pick up her phone when Louis calls her.
***
"He WHAT?"Camryn exclaims, jumping up from the table with Lennon still cradled in her arm and attached to her breast as she speed walks through the kitchen, Darcy and Auggie's heads shooting up in curiosity as they watch their mum pace around the kitchen, Lennon unlatching to get his own perspective on his mum's freak out.
"He fell of his bike, but he's okay, the paramedics just think he broke a few ribs and his ankle...his ankle is definitely broken, it was twisted in the completely wrong direction,"Louis explains, still sitting in the ambulance next to Harry who's gone completely pale, hearing Camryn's voice ringing through the phone.
"He wasn't even supposed to be on that d*mn bike!"Camryn exclaims, causing Lennon to flinch a bit in her arms, relatched to her nipple as he takes some pull from it. "I knew we shouldn't have given it to you and just sold it. I knew he'd get back on it."
"In his defense—"
"Don't even,"Camryn cuts Louis off, shaking her head against the phone and sighing loudly. "I'm not in the mood."
"Yes ma'am,"Louis nods, holding his hand up in innocence which makes the paramedic who's sitting on the opposite side of Harry chuckle quietly to himself, watching the whole situation go down that just keeps getting better and better.
"Is he conscious? Can I talk to him,"Camryn asks, swaying her hips to try and soothe Lennon who's not eating anymore, instead he's just watching her with a concerned look on his face since he can sense how much distress she's in by the tone of her voice and the look on her face. The furrow in her brow, frown across her lips and wrinkles in her forehead are all dead giveaways of what is currently going on in her mind.
She wants to talk to you Louis mouths, holding his hand over the speaker to prevent Camryn from hearing anything.
Harry's eyes go wide as he rapidly shakes his head at Louis, doing a slicing motion at his neck as he pleads with his best friend to be on his side. If he loves him, he'll not let Camryn speak to him.
"He was conscious,"Louis assures Camryn, nodding his head against the phone as he looks over at Harry with wide eyes, trying to come up with the most believable lie on the spot that he can, "he's just...he's sleeping right now so you'll have to wait to talk to him once you get to the hospital."
"Son of a b*tch,"Camryn whispers under her breath, shaking her head in complete disappointment and exasperation. "Tell him to hide his other ribs from me once I get to that d*mn hospital."
"I'll let him know,"Louis chuckles, widening his eyes at Harry who definitely heard that threat through the phone and has flung his head back against the bed again with his palm covering his face, "just come whenever you can, I'll stay with him until you get here."
"'kay, I'll just call Liam to watch the kids,"Camryn sighs, continuing to pace in little circles just like she always does when she's talking on the phone.
Louis agrees and hangs up the phone with a "bye" that is not reciprocated from Camryn since she's already pulled the phone away from her ear and begun to scroll for Liam's contact, praying that he picks up and is free at the moment.
"You're dead meat,"Louis informs Harry with a wide eyed look, holding his hands up in innocence and blowing out a breath between his lips that puffs up his cheek, leaning his head back against the wall of the ambulance.
"It would've been more painless if I had just died on the side of the road,"Harry grumbles, shaking his head against the bed and keeping his eyes shut.

"Thank you for coming,"Camryn sighs with Lennon on her hip who has since finished nursing but has been unwilling to let Camryn put him down, as usual.
"Of course, anytime,"Liam kindly responds, holding his arm out to wrap Camryn up in a hug, giving her a little squeeze. "How's Haz?"
"He's better off now than he'll be when I see him,"Camryn grumbles, rolling her eyes with an exasperated look at Liam who chuckles and runs his fingers through his hair, walking into the house as Camryn motions for him to do so.
Liam laughs and reaches for Lennon who whines and shies away, burying his face in Camryn's neck as he wraps his arms tighter around her neck.
"Oh, hey, why're you being like that, huh? It's just Uncle Liam! We love Uncle Liam!"Camryn coos, pressing a few kisses to the side of Lennon's head as he rubs her hand up and down his back, grinning over at Liam. "Sorry."
"No problem,"Liam chuckles, reaching out to tickle his fingers against Lennon's back, "I should've known. Nothing comes between Lennon and his mumma."
"That's right, we're best buddies, huh?"Camryn grins, continuing to sway her hips and hold Lennon tightly as Darcy runs into the hallway with a huge smile on her face, her plastic dress up princess heels slapping against the wood floor with her pink Aurora princess dress on top of her clothes, the shoulder falling down a bit.
"LIAM!"Darcy squeals, running faster down the hall with her little arms pumping as fast as they can as she jumps into Liam's outstretched arms.
"Princess! There's my girl,"Liam murmurs, hugging Darcy tightly to his chest as he presses a few kisses to her cheek, twisting their bodies side to side as he continues to nuzzle his face against the side of Darcy's. "I missed you! I love you!"
"Love you,"Darcy hums back, squeezing her arms tighter around Liam's neck.
"Oh Mister, you look fabulous,"Camryn laughs, smiling widely at little Auggie who stumbles into the hall, the pair of yellow plastic princess high heels attached to his foot and slapping against the ground. His feet are far too small for them and he's definitely going to trip before he makes it down the hallway, but he keeps one hand braced against the hall to try and help him stay steady as much as possible.
"Oh look at you, mate!"Liam chuckles, watching Auggie continue to stumble down the hall with the proudest look on his face accented by a huge smile as he holds his arms out for Liam.
"C'mere! I missed you too!"Liam smiles, picking Auggie up with his free arm and settling him on his other hip as one of Auggie's high heels falls off onto the ground, hitting against the floor with a loud clank. "Oh you lost a shoe, mate!"
"S-S-S-Shoe,"Auggie gasps, looking over his shoulder and down at the yellow high heel laying sideways on the hardwood floor.
"'Kay, you three, listen to mumma for a second, okay?"Camryn instructs, watching as Auggie and Darcy's heads turn towards her while Lennon continues to bury his face into Camryn's neck, but she knows he's listening. "Remember how I told you that dada got an ouchie and needed to go to the hospital?"
She gets a response only from Darcy who nods her head and continues to watch Camryn with intent blue eyes.
"Right, okay, well I have to go to the hospital really quick to go and check on daddy and give him so loves, okay? But I'll be back so soon, I promise,"Camryn informs the kids, mostly Darcy since she's really the only one that can comprehend all that she's saying and understand the situation. "You three are going to stay with Uncle Liam and have so much fun, okay?"
"Yeah, we'll have so much fun,"Liam assures the kids, bouncing Auggie and Darcy up and down on his hips as they giggle quietly and share a smile with Liam who presses a kiss to each of their cheeks.
"He's okay,"Darcy checks yet again, the same question she's been asking for the past twenty minutes since Camryn explained to her that Harry was in the hospital. It's times like this where Darcy's daddy's girl tendencies really come out full force.
"Yeah, he's okay, I promise,"Camryn assures her little girl, leaning over to press a loving kiss to Darcy's cheek, "I just have to go and check on him, alright?"
Darcy nods and seems content with the answer, and so does Auggie who grins as Camryn leans in to press a little kiss to his lips. "I love you, you be a good boy for Uncle Liam, okay?"
"He's always a good boy,"Liam grins, nuzzling the top of his nose against Auggie's cheek who grins proudly.
"And you be a good girl too, right?"Camryn checks with Darcy, scrunching her nose at her little girl and earning a nose scrunch back as well as she presses a little puckered kiss against her lips as Darcy nods her head. "I love you. You help Uncle Liam take care of your brothers, okay?"
"I'm a babysitter, mummy,"Darcy proudly smiles, wrapping her arms tighter around Liam's neck and feeling very proud that she's been entrusted with helping her uncle keep track of her little brothers.
"And you mister are going to be so good for Uncle Liam, right?"Camryn checks, raising her eyes down at Lennon who is definitely the one she's most scared about leaving as he huddles his body closer against hers, almost choking her from how tightly his arms are wrapped around his neck.
He's had severe separation anxiety from Camryn since he was born, practically and rarely will let anyone hold him unless it's Camryn. Even Harry doesn't fill the void for him when Camryn's not around, so that has left Camryn to basically being stuck at home with Lennon on her hip constantly for the past two years of his life, but she doesn't mind one bit. She'd rather spend time with her kids than do anything else, so she really doesn't view it as a sacrifice in the slightest.
"You're gonna need to hold this one,"Camryn warns Liam as she watches Liam nod and gently set Auggie and Darcy down on the floor who remain by him in their little heels.
"Uncle Liam is going to watch you for a few minutes while mummy goes and sees daddy, okay?"Camryn explains to Lennon, keeping her voice low and soothing as her lips brush against the shell of his ear, her hips swaying their bodies. "Mumma will be right back, I promise."
"NO!"Lennon yells, his voice cracking with tears as he begins to sob against Camryn's neck, shaking his head rapidly as his arms interlock tighter around her neck which she didn't think was possible.
"Lennon, sweet boy, it's alright,"Camryn coos, beginning to add a bounce to their swaying motion as she rubs her hand up and down his back that's trembling with tears, gently shushing him. "Mumma will be right back, you're gonna have so much fun with Uncle Liam."
"MUMMA!"Lennon exclaims with a sob, refusing to move from his spot of be pried away from his mum. "MUMMA!"
"Would it be easier if I just take him and you rush out?"Liam suggests, holding his hands out uselessly for his little nephew as he watches Camryn continually try to calm him. "Rip the bandaid off?"
"Yeah, I think that's the only way,"Camryn regretfully responds with a sympathetic frown. She'd rather not ever have to leave her little boy, especially in a situation like this where he's so scared to see her go, but she knows there will be nothing she can do that will soothe him unless she stays which isn't an option right now, so it's better to just hand him off to Liam and pray that he can calm him down soon enough.
"MUMMA!"Lennon screams as Liam pries him away from Camryn's chest, his little hands still trying to grasp for her with his mouth wide open in a cry, his face red with angry tears rolling down his cheeks. "MUMMA!"
"It's okay, buddy, I've got you,"Liam tries to comfort him, holding him against his chest and putting his hand against the back of Lennon's head, trying to guide it towards his chest, but it's not use since Lennon is using every muscle in his neck to keep his head straight up so that he can watch Camryn as she leaves.
"MUMMA!"Lennon screams in terror yet again, making Camryn's heart sink to her stomach as she opens the door and turns around very quickly to wave one more time at the kids, earning a wave and a grin from both Darcy and Auggie, and from Lennon she gets another terrified plea of "MUMMA!"
She successfully makes it outside with the front door shut before she breaks down in tears, her mum guilt washing over her completely as the sound of Lennon's pleading wails rings through her mind in a never ending cycle. He was so scared and he needed her and she left him and she never leaves him or any of the kids and she just wants to be with them and she loves them so much and it makes her just as anxious to leave them as it makes them anxious to watch her leave and...
"Lennon, bubba, you're okay, mate,"Liam promises bouncing and swaying his body to try and soothe Lennon as he cradles the back of his head, pressing a kiss to his temple which earns another scream from Lennon as he shakes his head and tries to lean away from Liam.
"MUMMA!"Lennon sobs, reaching his hand towards the door as he looks at it with more sadness in his little eyes than ever before. His chest is heaving at an unhealthy speed and Liam's afraid that he's going to hyperventilate if he stays at this rate. "MUMMA!"
"Mumma will be back, she just had to go and see daddy,"Liam tries to explain to his little nephew who's not listening at all, especially since his voice can't really be heard over the sound of the cries.
"It's okay, Lennie,"Darcy tries to soothe, reaching up for Lennon's tiny foot and taking it in her hand as she gives it a loving squeeze, looking up at her little brother with the most protective and caring eyes. "Mumma will be back, it's okay."
***
"Hi sweetheart, who're you here for today?"the nurse at the front desk asks, looking up from the notes she was filling out as Camryn crashes into the emergency room, rushing right over to her.
"My husband, he was in a motorcycle crash, they brought him in here,"Camryn pants out, gripping onto the edges of the counter as the nurse looks at her with the most loving eyes, nodding lovingly at Camryn.
"Okay, what's his name, my love? I'll tell you his room number,"the nurse calmly says, hoping that her own calmness will help to calm Camryn's nerves.
"Harry,"Camryn breathes, keeping a tight grip on the counter to keep her steady. "Harry Styles."
"Oh yes, he came in just a few minutes ago, room 20, sweetheart, right down the hall, third door to your right,"the nurse instructs Camryn who rushes out a thank you before she runs as fast as she can down the hall.
She makes it to the door with a twenty plastered on it, reaching to push it open as she stumbles into a hospital room, finding Harry lying in a hospital bed with his leg suspended in the air and a huge white bandage wrapped around his entire middle, his long curly locks skewed against the pillow with Louis sitting right next to him on a stool.
"Hey bug,"Harry warily whispers, already catching the look on Camryn's face that lets him know he's really in for it.
"You f*cking bastard,"Camryn sighs, shaking her head at Harry with a torn look on her face, half angry, half worried, "are you okay?"
Harry nods and swallows thickly, mulling over words in his mind to try and get them to come out right to try and soothe Camryn, "yeah Cam, I'm fine but—"
"You lied to me!"Camryn exclaims, her voice cracking with utter betrayal and tears as she looks at Harry with the most broken eyes. He knew what he was doing, he purposely went behind Cam's back and lied to her about where he was because she had specifically asked him to stop riding on his motorcycle for this exact reason.
"Camryn—"Harry winces, reaching his IVed hand out towards Camryn who shakes her head and takes a step backwards from him instead of one forwards towards him.
"I'll give you two some time,"Louis whispers, quickly jumping up from his stool and rushing out of the room gladly. There's nowhere he'd rather be less than in that room to witness what's about to go down. Well actually, there is one place he'd rather be less, in his best mate's position, laying on the bed unable to escape.
"Camryn, sweetheart, c'mere—"
"Don't 'sweetheart' me you b*stard,"Camryn yells with tears rolling down her cheeks, her fingers curling into fists at her sides as she feels her heart raise into her throat. "You lied to me! I told you I didn't want you on the motorcycle anymore for this exact reason."
"I know, you were right, baby, I just—"
"You just wanted to get yourself killed?"Camryn sobs, her arms crossed over her chest that's heaving as she tries to not have a panic attack at the thought. She already had one in the hospital parking lot while sitting in her car, she doesn't know if her exhausted body can handle another one. "Do you know how f*cking lucky you are that we're even having this conversation right now? How lucky you are that you can still move your legs?"
"Camryn, it was stupid, I get that—"
"We have three kids, Harry,"Camryn exclaims, tears ripping through her voice as she points towards her little mound of a stomach, "four, actually, we can't afford to be stupid anymore. We lost that right a long time ago."
"You're right, I'm sorry, bug, I really am,"Harry sincerely apologizes, keeping his arms outstretched towards Camryn, silently begging her to come closer to him because he was stupid, he gets that, but he also just really needs a hug from his girl right now.
"You need to grow up,"Camryn shakes her head in so much disappointment that she almost can't stomach it as she looks at Harry who she wants to strangle right now, her blood seething. How could he be this stupid. "Do you not understand how bad this could've been?"
"I do now, I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking,"Harry nods solemnly, tears welling up in his eyes as he realizes just how bad he hurt Camryn. He never lies to her. Ever. But he did today, and he's never regretted anything more.
"I'm so f*cking mad at you right now,"Camryn sniffles, wiping under her eyes with her fingertips, "I'm so glad you're okay, but I'm still so mad at you."
"Camryn, baby, I'm sorry, I get it, I messed up, can you just c'mere?"Harry tries again, making grabby fingers towards Camryn as he winces at the sudden movement that causes an ache to go through his entire middle. "C'mon, c'mere, you have to forgive me at some point." He smirks at Camryn and raises his eyebrows, trying to be a bit cheeky to see if he can get Camryn to break, but he's not feeling very hopeful.
Rightfully so.
"Lennon's having a panic attack currently because I left him and didn't have enough time to try and calm him down and leave slowly,"Camryn sobs, pointing towards the door in an act of trying to make it more obvious that the kids are not with her which he knows is only making her more anxious about this entire situation. "Darcy's in tears because she overheard that you're in the hospital, all Auggie wanted to do before I left was nurse, but I told him I couldn't because I had to come here—"
"Camryn,"Harry whispers, a few tears rolling down his cheeks as he sees the pure terror in Camryn's eyes. Not only is she looking at her husband in a hospital, she's also had to leave her babies who she never leaves.
"I need a breather,"Camryn tearfully whispers, shaking her head as she covers her face with her palms, taking in a big breath before turning around and beginning to walk out of the hospital room.
"Bug..."Harry calls with his heart cracking even further at the sight of Camryn walking away because he messed up. He really messed up and he knows it.
He doesn't get a response to his call, all he gets is a head shake from Camryn as she leaves the room, her shoulders still trembling with sobs.
*
She doesn't think she overreacted, but then again she doesn't think she reacted in quite the right way either. He knew he messed up big time and she should've given him some grace, especially with him being in so much pain.
She didn't make it far, only a few feet outside of his hospital door where she's been crying with her hands covering her face and her back pressed against the wall. She just needed some time to collect all of her thoughts and clam her anxieties that are running crazy in her mind.
She was doing just that as she felt two arms wrap around her, hugging her tightly to his chest as she sobs into it, her hands still covering her face.
"I've gotcha,"Louis whispers, resting his chin on top of Camryn's blonde hair and rubbing his hand up and down her upper back. "It's okay."
"He's so f*cking stupid sometimes,"Camryn tearfully whispers, choking on a little sob as she coughs against Louis' chest.
"He is. He's a complete wad most of the time,"Louis agrees with a little smirk, continuing to squeeze his arms tightly around Camryn's upper shoulders. "But the first person he wanted to talk to when he came into consciousness was you."
"That's just because he didn't want to lose his f*ck buddy,"Camryn jokes with a pitiful sniffle, pulling away slightly from Louis to grin up at him with tears still leaking down her splotchy and swollen cheeks.
"I think you're a bit more than a f*ck buddy to him,"Louis snorts, shaking his head as he reaches up to cup Camryn's cheeks in his calloused hands, wiping at her tears with his thumbs. "I know he's stupid, but he also loves you more than anything, and I think he could really use some love from you right now. You can chew him out later."
"You're right,"Camryn concedes with a big sniffle, nodding her head as she reaches up to rub at her eyes. "Thanks, Tommo." "
Louis squeezes her one more time before letting go and allowing her to walk back into the hospital room quietly and a bit feebly as she crosses her arms over her chest, resting them just above her bump as she looks down at her feet covered by black high top converse.
She dares to look up once she's in the middle of the room and finds that Harry was already looking at her with a soft expression on his face, his hands interlocked on his stomach, resting there gently to not irritate his ribs as he watches Camryn make her way closer to him.
"I'm sorry, I was just so scared,"Camryn whispers tearfully, standing at Harry's bedside and looking at him remorsefully as his eyes soften even more, nodding in complete understanding.
"Oh buggy, c'mere, I know,"Harry whispers, holding his hands out for Camryn as she leans down to gently wrap her arms around Harry, careful to not touch him too hard in case she hurts him even more, her face burrowing into his neck as he turns his nose to rest against her hair, breathing in her familiar strawberry scent that he's been wanting to smell ever since he gained conciseness. "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry I scared you."
"You're never allowed on that d*mn bike again,"Camryn grumbles with a little smirk, pressing a kiss against Harry's neck to let him know that all is forgiven, but she's serious about getting rid of the bike.
"Trust me, I won't go on it. One crash was enough for me,"Harry chuckles painfully, his ribs aching at every laugh, so he cuts himself short.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you,"Camryn quietly apologizes, pulling away slightly from Harry but keeping her body shrouded over him, reaching her hand up to comb her fingers through the brown hair at his hairline, looking over him with the most caring eyes.
"Don't be, I deserved it, you're right I was being selfish,"Harry grins sleepily, reaching up to wipe a lonely tear on Camryn's cheek, puckering his lips to request a kiss that he's been waiting for.
"I love you,"Camryn whispers as she bends down to press a kiss against Harry's puckered lips, keeping one hand on his chest.
"I love you too, will you lay with me for a bit?"Harry requests, patting the empty space of the bed on his right side. "Come on this side, I can't really move cuz of my leg."
Camryn nods and walks to the opposite side of the bed, climbing onto it as Harry lifts up the covers to let her in. She curls against the side of his body, dropping her cheek to his chest with her hand there as well as Harry wraps his arm around her shoulders, rubbing his fingers against her shoulder and pressing his lips against the top of her head, his body immediately relaxing at the feeling of her.
"Am I laying too much on you? Is it hurting your ribs?"Camryn checks, lifting her head slightly up from Harry's chest and looking at him with a worried gaze.
"It's all good, just don't move to much,"Harry grins, reaching up to tuck a strand of Camryn's blonde hair behind her ear before she rests her cheek back down against his chest.
"How're you feeling?"Camryn checks, beginning to draw little shapes against Harry's skin as he rests his head back against the pillow and closes his eyes sleepily.
"Better now that you're here,"Harry whispers, squeezing his arm tighter around Camryn's shoulders before reaching his IVed hand up to cup Camryn's cheek, resting it there to have her face sandwiched between his chest and his hand.
"I love you,"Camryn murmurs, turning her head slightly to press a kiss to Harry's bare chest before resting her cheek against his chest again, "I'm so glad you're okay."
"I love you more,"Harry grins, rubbing his thumbs against Camryn's cheek that he's cradling.
***
"Guess who's home?!"Camryn calls as she opens the front door four hours later with Harry beside her on crutches that he can barely use because of the throbbing pain in his ribs.
"MUMMA!"Darcy's little voice yells as she jumps up from her spot on the floor where she was playing with Legos with Liam and her two brothers, bolting from the living room and down the hall.
"Guess who's with me?"Camryn giggles, gently keeping her hand on Harry's lower back to try and help him inside to the best of her abilities.
"DADDY!"Darcy gasps, her jaw dropping in excitement as she squeals and runs down the hall, already in her pajamas that Liam got the kids dressed in after he took them out on a little pizza dinner date.
"Hi sweet girl,"Harry smiles widely despite the pain throbbing through his body as he leans heavily on his crutches, his knee bent with his foot behind him that's wrapped in a cast. "I've missed you!"
"Daddy, you has ouchies?"Darcy gathers, looking at Harry with caring blue eyes as she looks at Harry's foot that's covered in a bright blue cast.
"Yeah, I do have ouchies,"Harry confirms, nodding his head down at Darcy who's still looking at his cast with a look of amazement. "I have ouchies on my leg and my tummy."
"Let's got get daddy laid down on the couch, 'kay baby? Will you help me get daddy over there?"Camryn grins at Darcy as she nods and runs down the hall ahead of her parents to get the couch all ready for her dad.
"Oh there we go, there's who you two have been looking for,"Liam coos as he walks into the hall with Auggie on one hip and Lennon on the other. Auggie looks unfazed and happy as always, his pacifier in his mouth with his little dinosaur pajama shirt riding up on his stomach a bit and revealing his little bloated belly and belly button. Lennon on the other hand looks absolutely miserable with puffy cheeks and tears streaking down his cheeks, his head resting against Liam's shoulder.
"Hey boys,"Harry smiles widely, bringing one of his hands off of his crutch to scrunch his fingers at his little boys, so relieved to finally be back at home with them.
"Oh there's my boys,"Camryn murmurs with a huge smile, a weight falling off of her shoulders at the sight of all of her kids as she holds her arms out for them.
"Mama,"Lennon whines, reaching his hands towards Camryn with tears welling up in his eyes as he leans away from Liam.
"Oh hello my darling,"Camryn sighs in utter relief, hugging Lennon tightly to her chest as she rests her head back against the ball of her neck, swaying her hips. "I missed you so much. Hi sweetheart."
"And look at you, you're so happy!"Camryn giggles as she reaches her hand out to tickle her fingers against Auggie's tummy as he continues to happily bounce against Liam's hip. "Did you have so much fun with uncle Liam?"
"They were all so good,"Liam promises, pressing a kiss to Auggie's squishy cheek as he giggles and tries to push Liam's face away with his little hands. "Especially this one right here, he didn't even make a peep."
"Oh yeah, you're my good boy, huh,"Camryn coos, holding her free arm out towards Auggie and taking him into her arms as well, keeping both boys clear of her bump as she presses a kiss to the top of each of their heads. "Mmm, mumma missed you both. I love you so much. And I love that big sissy of yours who's disappeared."
"Here mate, let me help you,"Liam offers, wrapping his arm around Harry's waist as he helps him walk down the hallway, following Camryn who still has one boy on each hip.
"Ouch f*c—"Harry cuts himself off with a wince as he realizes that the boys are still in ear shot, shooting a look of pain towards Liam who laughs and shakes his head as he continues to help him down the hallway.
"I got daddy a pillow, mummy,"Darcy proudly shows, motioning her hand towards the couch where she's laid a pillow against the arm of the couch.
"You're the best baby, thank you,"Camryn grins, turning around to watch as Liam helps Harry hobble over to the couch, a grunt escaping Harry's lips as Liam helps him get laid down onto the couch.
"This pillow is perfect, thank you honey,"Harry grins, reaching his bandaged hand out towards Darcy and wrapping his arm around her waist, pulling her in closer.
"I missed you, daddy,"Darcy happily giggles, collapsing her top half onto Harry's middle and wrapping her arms around him as an immediate groan and grunt escape his lips with a little whine.
"Ouch!"Harry groans, subconsciously grabbing at Darcy's biceps and pushing her upwards so that she's not against him, flinging his head back against the pillow.
"Hey hey hey, gentle, gentle be gentle with daddy,"Camryn quickly cautions, setting Auggie and Lennon both down which Lennon is not too happy about.
"Baby get off of him, get off,"Camryn quickly instructs Darcy, pulling her away from Harry as she looks at him with a terrified gaze, her bottom lip beginning to wobble as she sees her dad wither in pain that she caused.
"Daddy!"Darcy screeches, tears welling up in her big blue eyes as she clings onto Camryn, burying her face in Camryn's neck in utter fear.
"It's okay, it's okay, daddy's okay,"Camryn assures Darcy, rubbing her hand up and down Darcy's back as she glances over at Harry to make sure he's okay. His jaw is still clenched tightly and his hand is rested protectively over his stomach, but other than that he seems okay.
"It's okay, you didn't know that was going to hurt daddy, you were just trying to give him loves, I know,"Camryn whispers, pressing a few kisses to the top of Darcy's head as she continues to squeeze her tightly. "It's okay, don't cry. Daddy and I aren't mad at you, you were just tryin to give him loves."
"Baby, it's okay, c'mere, can I have a hug?"Harry asks, pouting his bottom lip as he holds his hands out for Darcy who has her back turned to him.
"Will you go give daddy a hug?"Camryn whispers, her lips pressed against the shell of Darcy's ear as she presses a kiss there.
"Oh no tears, sweet girl,"Harry pouts, making scrunchy fingers towards Darcy as she cautiously walks towards him. "Can I have a hug? It won't hurt, I promise, we'll just be really gentle."
Darcy nods and holds her arms out towards Harry, wrapping her arms around Harry's neck as his arms go around her back, holding her gently as she sniffles against his neck.
"I love my Darcy,"Harry whispers, pressing a little kiss to her damp cheek. "Thank you for being the best baby girl ever."
"I'm not leaving you, hello mister,"Camryn chuckles as Lennon pushes his way over to her, wrapping his arms around her neck as he presses his cheek against her shoulder. "I'm not leaving you again, I promise. I love you. I'm sorry mummy had to leave you."
"Do you have the sniffles,"Camryn asks, nuzzling her nose down against Lennon's as he cracks a smile for the first time since she left, giggling tearfully. "Oh you do have the sniffles! No sniffles, mummy doesn't like sad Lennie."
"M-M-M-Mama, d-d-dino,"Auggie proudly shows off his pajama shirt even though he's worn it a hundred times before, holding the bottom hem out towards Camryn with the proudest grin, "R-R-RAWR!"
"Rawr! That is a dinosaur, you're so smart,"Camryn giggles, reaching out to tickle her fingers against Auggie's stomach before combing her fingers through Auggie's bleach blonde hair. "You look so handsome."
"Gussy, can I have snuggles?"Harry requests, holding his arm out towards Auggie since Darcy's attention is now on Harry's cast, tapping her fingers against the hard surface as she sits on the couch next to Harry's foot.
"Oh there's my Gussy, I love my Gussy boy,"Harry murmurs, wrapping his arm around Auggie's back, pressing a kiss against his squishy cheek.
"Is Auggie light enough to rest against your tummy, daddy?"Camryn asks, looking over at Harry whose eyes light up at the suggestion.
"Oh I think he is, will you help me get him up, mumma?"Harry requests with a big grin, widening his green eyes at Auggie's green ones.
Camryn picks Auggie up under his arms and gently rests him on top of Harry, their chests pressed together as Auggie nuzzles his face into Harry's neck, Harry's hand rubbing up and down his little back, trickling his fingers against Auggie's skin that's peeking under his dinosaur shirt.
"Thank you so much for watching them, Li, we owe you,"Camryn gratefully smiles at Liam, standing up from the floor with a bit of a huff as she holds Lennon against her hip, holding her free arm out to hug Liam. "You're the best. Whenever you have kids we're your built in babysitter, okay? You've saved our butts so many times, so you deserve it."
"I have to find a girl first, so that will take a while,"Liam laughs, shaking his head as he presses a kiss to Camryn's cheek. "And don't thank me, I love hanging out with my munchkins."
"What do you all say to Uncle Liam?"Camryn instructs, raising her eyebrows at Darcy and Auggie.
"Thank you, Liam!"Darcy grins happily, her cheek resting against Harry's bent knee, the one that's not broken.
"You're welcome, sweet girl, I'll see you on Wednesday for our date, yeah?"Liam checks, blowing a kiss at Darcy which she catches, pressing her palm against her cheek to place it there.
"D-D-Danks!"Auggie bubbles, his cheek still smushed against Harry's chest with his little pacifier sucking back and forth, his hand lovingly rubbing Harry's chest.
"You're welcome, buddy, I love you,"Liam smiles, blowing a kiss to Auggie as well.
"Can you say thank you to uncle Liam?"Camryn asks, tucking her lips down to the top of Lennon's curls as she continues to sway their bodies side to side, "and say sorry for being such a stinker."
"Oh he wasn't a stinker, he was just fine,"Liam promises, crouching down a bit to get on Lennon's level as he rests his hand on his back. "See ya buddy, I love you. You enjoy getting your snuggles from your mumma, okay?"
"Thanks mate!"Harry calls as Liam begins to walk out of the living room to allow the family to have some time together, especially since it's almost the little kids' bedtime.
"No problem, thanks for still being alive,"Liam calls back with a smirk, turning around to walk backwards as he salutes Harry who laughs and dips his head back down to press a kiss to Auggie's head.
"You know what, DD, you can draw on daddy's cast if you want,"Camryn offers, wiggling her eyes at her little girl who loves to draw and color.
"YEAH!"Darcy exclaims, bouncing up and down happily on the couch as Camryn walks into the kitchen and grabs a few colored sharpies before walking back into the living room and handing them to Darcy.
"Be really careful so that you don't get any on the couch, 'kay babe?"Camryn instructs, sitting down next to Darcy with Lennon on her lap as she watches Darcy nod and reach for the black sharpie in front of her.
"What're you gonna draw, babe?"Harry asks, peeking over Auggie's body that's still on top of his to look at Darcy who has her bottom lip between her teeth as she focuses, holding Harry's cast between her hands.
"A pwincess,"Darcy simply responds with a little grin as she continues to focus on her little person drawing which includes one huge circle that is both the head and body with four little lines that are legs and arms.
"It's looking beautiful, babe,"Camryn smirks, winking over at Harry as she lifts her shirt up and cradles Lennon in her arms to allow him to do the thing he's been wanting to do ever since she left.
"You're looking beautiful, Mrs. Styles,"Harry flirts, smirking over at Camryn as he wiggles his eyebrows at her.
"Don't try to kiss up to me,"Camryn rolls her eyes with a chuckle, shaking her head as she rests it back against the couch as she combs her fingers through Lennon's curls while he continues to suck at her breast.
"Didn't work?"Harry chuckles, wiggling his eyebrows teasingly at Camryn who rolls her eyes jokingly
"I'm still a bit mad at you,"Camryn jokingly grumbles, narrowing her eyes over at Harry.
"I'll sell the motorcycle as soon as I can get off of this couch by myself,"Harry promises, continuing to rub his hand up and down Auggie's back.
"Deal,"Camryn grins, reaching down to take her breast in her hand to help Lennon get a better latch, "then you're completely forgiven."
