"Morning, Lou."

"Hi, Haz. Want some pancakes as well?"

"If you don't mind making any extra."

"No problem at all," Louis smiles at the man, who's hair is a mess. "What are a teachers plans on a nice saturday?"

"Nothing really, I don't have any work for school, so."

"No family plans?"

"Fam lives down in Cheshire, I call my mum every other day but I can't say there's much irl visiting."

"Oh," Louis looks down, "I can't imagine a life like that, my mum lives just a few streets from here with my sisters, the oldest, Lottie, just moved out but she too lives in Doncaster."

"Papa!"

"Yes, love, in the kitchen!"

But before Louis finished the sentence, the small girl comes running in, wearing her Elsa pyjama's and Olaf stuffy. She quickly grabs onto Louis checkered pyjama pants, burrying her face in his thigh.

"Wissed 'ou wots!" She talks around her pacifier.

"Missed you too, sweets," She receives a kiss to the forehead and a quick cuddle. "Let me make it up to you with pancakes!"

"Wencays! Yay!"

"Do you remember what day it is, Ro?"

"Satway?"

"Yes! And where are we going this Saturday?" Louis looks at the girls clueless face. "The zoo!"

"Yay! I sees the tigews?"

"And lions and giraffes!"

"Dadddy Hazzy come too?"

"What?" Louis eyebrown raise in shock as his jaw hangs limb. Harry's reaction is no different.

"Daddy Hazzy come too?"

"I uh- I, I guess Harry can come too, yeah. If he wants too."

"Lou, I don't-"

"No, it's alright, you said you have no plans so if you want, you can tag along."

The adults are sitting on a bench, watching the three year old closely as she looks at the monkeys behind a glass.

"Louis, I really don't know where that came from this morning."

"It's alright, I'm not mad or anything, I just wasn't prepared. I'm sorry."

"What for?"

"Making you have to spend so much time with my kid that she now thinks you're her parent as well, I keep on taking your time, basically every other day, and-"

"And I love that, I love spending time with Robin and-"

"Yeah, of coure you do, but at school, you probably hate having to spend all this time with-"

"Lou, let me finish," Harry interupts the parent, making him look into his green eyes. "I love spending time with Robin and you. This is closest I have to a family here in Doncaster and I couldn't be happier. I never thought I'd go to the zoo with a kid that calls me daddy. And I know this isn't ideal but I like it. A lot. And quite frankly, I like you a lot so that helps."

"You do?"

"Yep."

Hello everybody!

To everyone who wants their name in this story, go to last chapters A/N to see how!

- What's been your favourite moment in the book so far?
- Do you mind these questions?
- What's a place you'd like to travel to / what awesome place have you already travelled to?

We are quite the travelling fam, I think and thus I've been to quite a few countries already (I got an app to like colour every country I've been to on the world map and it says I travelled 7,3 % of the world, that's 15 countries).

I'd love to see Berlin and Madrid for the museums and high on my list of countries to travel are Portugal and Greece. I'd want to see Paris and London again. (Got a thing for the art in Paris, got a thing for everything in London)

(For people interested in the app: it is called Mark O' Travel. You can colour the countries you've been to which I did, but you could also colour the ones you want to go to in another colour and so on.)
