Bonus Chapter!
*Louis' POV*
I wake up to the sound of Dylan, my 4 month old son crying. I let out a groan and check my phone. 4am. I swing my legs over the side of the bed and stand up. I haven't had a good nights sleep in over a week. Harry stirs in his sleep, I don't want to wake him up. He's got work tomorrow, I haven't as I'm still on maternity leave.
I walk down the hall to Dylan's room, his cries get louder as I get closer to his room and I sigh as I walk through the door. I pick him up and he continues to cry. I rock him slowly, his diaper doesn't need changed so I tip toe down stairs, careful not to wake up Darcy and Ross, and prepare his bottle. Dylan keeps crying and I feed him his bottle. He slowly starts to fall asleep and I place him back in his crib.
I sit in the rocking chair in the corner of the room and put my head in my hands. I let out a shaky breath, tears start to fill my eyes. I just want to sleep, it seems like I'm tired all the time. This never happened with Darcy and Ross, and that was double the work. Niall and Liam are taking the kids tomorrow, it's the first time I'll be away from Dylan since I gave birth to him.
Niall and Liam have been married for about a year now. They got back together after me and Harry got married about 4 years ago. The four of us are really close now, the past is in the past and Niall and Liam are looking to adopt a child.
Some tears run down my face. I guess I am overwhelmed with tiredness. Harry and I barely have any alone time whatsoever, it's just work and kids. I'm scared that's how it'll always be. I look down at my wrists, the fresh cuts from last night. Harry doesn't know. No one does. I'm just so tired and I feel like I have no purpose.
I can't help but feel our marriage is falling apart...
A large hand is placed on my shoulder. I look up to see my gorgeous husband with a worried expression on his face.
"Lou, are you okay?" He asks, crouching down so his eyes locked with mine.
"I'm fine. Just tired," I say, but he's not buying it.
"Lou... I know you, you don't cry when you're just tired. When was the last time you had a full nights sleep?"
"Monday." I reply looking down. It's now Friday.
"Honey, you need to sleep," he says sympathetically.
"I try, Harry, but Dylan just won't sleep. H-he's always crying o-or needing f-fed of changed and I cants k-keep up. I'm exhausted. And we barely see each other. I feel like our marriage is falling apart and I can't do anything about it," I say through sobs and Harry pulls me into a tight hug.
"We're okay, Louis. We've just had a new born. It's bound to be rough at some points. I love you so much, Lou." He says. I cry harder and pull away from him. I look down at my arms, his eyes follow mine.
"Louis... P-please don't do this to yourself, you're the strongest person I know. Why didn't you tell me, love?"
"I'm sorry. You probably hate me. I don't know why I do it. I needed some relief, just something, anything."
"Please. Please don't do this again. I'm here for you, always."
"Promise?" I ask shakily.
"Till death do us part, remember?" I give him a small smile.
"Till death do us part." He gives me a small kiss and a reassuring smile. "Shit- You have work in like 4 hours, don't worry about me,"
"No. You get some sleep, no arguments. I'll call in sick tomorrow. Then when Niall and Liam come and get the kids tomorrow, we can have some alone time," he says and I smile into his neck.
"Thank you, it really means a lot. I miss you," I say even though we live together and see each other every morning and night.
"I miss you too. But on Saturday, when you have more energy, we'll do something nice. Make up for lost time." he whispers and I hum in satisfaction.
"That sounds great," I whisper back and press a soft kiss to his neck.
"Right, let's get you to bed, love." he says and picks me up. I wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. He walks slowly back to our room and rests me back in bed. He places a kiss to my lips and I kiss back. He pulls back before it gets to heated.
"Save it for Saturday," he says with a wink and I smile.
"No more children!" I joke and he rolls his eyes.
"Of course not, lovely," he says and I hit his arm.
"You try giving birth!" I exclaim and he smiles.
"No thanks, I'll stick with being the supportive husband," he says and I narrow my eyes at him.
"Go to bed you oaf." I say and Harry laughs and raises his hands.
"Okay, okay."

I wake up and realise I'm still in bed. Shit, what time is it?! I've not fed Dylan, Darcy or Ross. Oh god, not good. I check the time on my phone and see its 4pm! Darcy and Ross have nursery!
I run to Dylan's room first, he's not there. I check Darcy and Ross' rooms too, they're gone too. I rush down to the kitchen and see Harry with a princess tiara perched on his head and singing Frozen. I sigh and let out a small laugh. Darcy has obviously been playing with Harry's hair, as there's small elastics around small chunks that I'll probably need to cut out later. Dylan is sleeping in his crib, that's now been placed downstairs.
"Dada!" Ross shouts and runs over to me.
"Hiya, sunshine!" I exclaim and he gives me a big hug.
"Look at papa's hair! Come see, come see!" He shouts and takes my hand.
"Tada!" Darcy shouts pointing to Harry's head that's covered in pink loom bands.
"Beautiful! Who done this?"
"We did!" Darcy says excitedly.
"No way?! I don't believe you!"
"It was us! Sure it was, papa?" Ross says with a hand on his hip. He's definitely got my sass.
"It sure was." Harry says with a smile and I can't help but smile back.
"Looks like you've been busy," I say looking at the toys scattered around the living room floor.
"We certainly have, did you sleep okay?"
"Best sleep I've had in ages!" I state and Harry smiles.
"That's great, angel." I sit down beside him, I rest my head on his shoulder and Ross comes and perches himself on my lap. I kiss his cheek and he squeals.
"Dada!" He shouts wiping his cheek.
"I want a kiss!" Darcy squeaks and I smile.
"Come here then," she runs over and I place a sloppy kiss on her cheek and she lets out a cute giggle.
"What about me? Don't I get one?" Harry asks and I roll my eyes.
"Hm... What do you think Darcy?" I tease and she nods. I laugh and plant a big kiss on Harry lips.
"Eww!" Ross says loudly and Darcy laughs. I tickle the sides of Ross' stomach and he squeals in surprise. He rolls off my lap and onto the floor.
"Dada, stop!!" He says between laughs.
"Can I get another kiss?" I stop and ask, he shakes his so I start to tickle him again.
"Okay, okay," he gives up and I his his cheek. He lets out a giggle and wipes his cheek once again.
I sigh and lean on Harry, I smile because I've got wonderful kids and a beautiful husband.
Maybe we'll be okay.

"Thanks again for taking them," I say to my best friend.
"No problem," Niall smiles, I hand over Dylan who's still sleeping.
"Bye dada, bye papa!" Darcy shouts and runs out the door to Niall and Liam's car. Ross says the same and they soon all drive away. I think they're going to the zoo.
As soon as I shut the door, I'm getting pressed against it. I feel Harry's lips attack mine. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss back.
"I've missed you, so much," he mumbles in between kisses.
"I miss you too," I say grinding up on him. He puts his hands on the back of my thighs and lifts me up off the ground. He grinds back and I let out a moan. It's been like 10 months since me and Harry have had sex and damn I've really missed this. He pulls back and makes his way upstairs, me still wrapped around him.
He kicks our bedroom door open and throws me on the bed. He's soon on top of me but roll him over so I'm on top, straddling his waist. I suck a small bruise onto his neck and a small groan escapes his lips. He puts his hands on my waist and pushes his hips up. I let out a surprised moan and he smirks.
"Fuck, hurry up Harry," I say impatiently.
"What do you want, Lou?" he teases, raising an eyebrow. He grinds up as he pushes my hips down.
"Shit- fuck me," I groan, now irritated, but incredibly turned on.
"Hm, ask nicely," I swear I'm going to punch him.
"Please- Harry. Just fuck me-" he cuts me off with a heated kiss.
"Okay, darling,"
//
I sigh as I come down from my high. Harry collapses next to me.
"Fuck- I'm so in love with you," Harry says playing with a strand of my hair.
"I love you too." I say, breathlessly. He wraps his arms around me and I sigh with content.
"Till death do us part?" He asks and I smile.
"Till death do us part."
