“Daddy! Can we go to get some food?” Darcy questioned as her tummy growled. “Sure thing princess.” Louis said and took her and Harry to a little Italian restaurant. “Do you want pizza baby?” Louis asked Darcy and she nodded. “You too babe?” Harry blushed a deep red and nodded, quickly looking down again.

Louis called him babe. Babe. That means a lot, Harry knows that you just don’t call everyone babe, right?

The jocks at school did, but Harry could tell Louis was nothing like these jocks. Louis had actual feelings and well, he told Harry he loved him earlier today, right? Yes, he totally did.

Louis ordered some pizza and they all waited in silence, except for Darcy who was busily talking about how amazing Niall was.  The pizza came and they ate in silence, yet again.

Harry fed Darcy little pieces of pizza and Louis smiled at the two. He’d be really happy to have Harry as his actual husband. He knew he was maybe thinking a bit too much of it: Harry was only sixteen years old and they’ve only known each other for about a year. Adding that Louis was Harry’s teacher, but still.

Ever since Harry has been babysitting Darcy, Louis felt weird tingles in his stomach as he saw Harry making Darcy smile. Only a few months back Louis realized he was falling in love with Harry, his student, the sixteen years old nerdy boy who always sat in front of the classroom. But also the amazing sweet and precious boy who was babysitting his daughter night and day, literally, the boy who cooked him dinner every night and most of all, the boy he cared about more than he cared about himself.

Louis found himself staring at Harry and quickly looked away as Harry looked up. They both blushed. Darcy didn’t notice any weird tensions going on and was just munching on her pizza.

After they finished dinner, they went to some clothing shops. Harry bought Darcy a beautiful pink dress. He asked her about a thousand times what she wanted to have for her birthday but she wouldn’t answer.  Eventually he gave in.

They went home again at eight o’clock because Darcy had school the next day. Louis put Darcy in bath and Harry cleaned the living room.

After they put Darcy in bed and read her a bedtime story, Louis and Harry both sat down in the living room on the couch.

“Shall we watch a movie?” Louis broke the silence.

“Yeah okay…”

“What’s on your mind?”

“It’s just- you’re still my teacher and stuff…” Harry mumbled.

Louis nodded, “but you were already Darcy’s babysitter before I was your teacher, so basically you’re first my friend and then my student.”

Harry thought about this for a while and nodded, “yeah okay.”

Louis put on a random movie and snuggled up against Harry.

After an hour or so Harry spoke quietly: “Hey Lou?”

“Hmm?”

“I- I love you too.” Harry blushed.

Louis smiled and kissed Harry’s head. “I’m glad.” He smiled and Harry smiled back.

“I’m tired, I’m going to sleep. This movie sucks dick.” Harry yawned. Louis chuckled. “Okay, I’m going to bed too.”

“I’ll sleep on the couch.” Harry smiled as he opened his bag to pick out something to sleep in. Louis suddenly picked up Harry and carried him to his bedroom. “No way. You’re staying here, with me.”

Harry blushed and smiled. He changed his clothes and they both lay down in the bed, snuggling up under the covers and against each other.

 “Goodnight Loubear.” Harry whispered. Louis smiled, “goodnight babe.”

That night Harry lay awake wondering if there was something going on between him and Louis. Well, there obviously was, but he hadn’t figured out yet how. They obviously were more than teacher and student, but he didn’t know for sure if they were more than babysitter and dad.

The next morning Louis woke up Harry by softly kissing his forehead. “Wake up love.” He whispered.

Harry yawned and stretched and he sat up next to Louis. “Morning Lou.”

“Shall I make breakfast for Darcy?” Harry asked, “I can make chocolate chip pancakes.” He smiled, “then you can go take a shower.”

“If you want to?” Louis asked and Harry nodded. “See you in a few then.” Louis chimed and got his stuff ready to take a shower

In the time Louis took his shower, Harry went to the kitchen and made the pancakes as quietly as he could. 

He jumped as he felt two arms wrap around him from behind. “Hey babe, everything okay?” Louis asked softly. Harry  nodded, “Hmm…”

Harry put the pancakes on a plate and he and Louis both walked up to Darcy’s bedroom.

They quietly opened the door and Louis kissed Darcy’s forehead, “wake up, princess.” He whispered.

Darcy opened her eyes and yawned cutely. “Good morning daddy.”  She smiled.

“We made you chocolate chip pancakes.” Harry smiled and sat down on the edge of Darcy’s bed. Darcy’s eyes lit up, “yes! You’re the best!”

Harry smiled as Louis pulled Darcy on his lap and he fed her the pancakes. He helped her dress in her new pink dress and Harry carefully brushed her hair.

“You do look like a real princess now.” He smiled.

Darcy blushed.

When they were all ready they settled down on the couch since they still had an hour and half before school started. Louis had the first period off so he could bring Darcy to school together with Harry.

“Princess?”

“Yeah?”

“Now it’s your birthday, will you tell me what you want as a present?”

Darcy thought for a few seconds and then nodded. She stood up and told Louis and Harry to sit down.

“When Niall taught me that when two people love each other they make babies, I asked him how they do that.” She started.

Louis swallowed and prayed she wouldn’t ask for a brother or a sister, because that just wasn’t possible.

“Then he said that they kiss and do other stuff that I don’t understand yet.”

Harry nodded, “what are you asking, princess?”

“You love each other, yeah?” she asked, going a bit sassy again. Louis chuckled and nodded.

“What do you want, baby?” Louis asked curiously.

“I want you to kiss each other and just be happy. I want two happy daddies.” She said, biting her lip and looking down.

Louis looked at his daughter and tears welled up in his eyes. “Darcy, princess we are happy.”

“But then why aren’t you kissing? You just said you love each other.”

Harry shook his head and sat a bit closer to Louis without Louis noticing.

“Darcy baby look,” Louis started, wanting to explain that he did want to kiss Harry but that it was simply against the rules, but Harry cut him off by kissing his lips softly.

Louis kissed him back and when they broke apart he smiled. “I love you.” They both whispered at the same time.

Darcy was smiling, “Thank you!” she exclaimed and hugged both Louis and Harry tightly.

“Thank you for what?” Harry chuckled. “For giving me my birthday present!” Darcy smiled, “now I can tell Niall that I got the best birthday present ever!”

Louis smiled brightly, “okay, come on then, we’ll go to school a bit earlier.”

Darcy nodded enthusiastically and put on her coat. Harry tied her shoes and they all walked to school. Louis and Harry both giving Darcy a hand.

When they arrived at Darcy’s school they brought her inside. When Darcy saw Niall she ran to him and smiled. “Hey princess, happy birthday!” Niall exclaimed, smiling brightly.

“Thank you!” Darcy chirped and smiled brightly.

“What are you so smiley about?” Niall laughed.

“Oh nothing, I just got the best birthday present ever.”

“What did you get?”

“I got two happy daddies.” She smiled and Niall smiled too.

“So my plan worked?” Louis and Harry both raised their eyebrows and looked at Darcy and Niall who were fist bumping each other.

“Oh yes it worked!” Darcy smiled and Louis and Harry both laughed. They launched themselves at Niall and Darcy and hugged them tight. They both hugged them tightly back and Louis whispered to Harry: “I love you.”

To which Harry replied, “I love you too.”
