Night Changes

14.

"What are you talking about?" I asked Asher who I bathed in the sink. Making sure I had a nice hold on him while be babbled away. He was very talkative and now playing with the bubbles while I washed his hair he giggled while touching a cluster of the bubbles.

"You like that?" I asked him while he cooed at me from rubbing the soap into his arms and tummy. I had come to find out that Asher absolutely loved the bath and seeing him so happy made me happy.

I liked giving him his nightly baths, it gave me one on one time with him since I was gone a big portion of the day. With going back to my classes the boys and I as well as Gemma traded shifts in watching him, durning the day Louis, Liam, Gemma, and I switched in between classes. I only got to see him for maybe four hours flat durning the day and was happy to see him when I got home from school.

"So what's for dinner?" Louis asked taking a seat at the counter in the kitchen.

"Ask Liam, it's his turn to cook dinner." I said still washing Asher's tiny little body while he squealed out in delight splashing the shallow water.

"Liam!" Louis called tilting his head back to the ceiling waiting for Liam to come out of his bedroom and make dinner.

"Yes?" Liam called back audible to everyone in the kitchen.

"Hungry! Feed me!" Louis responded while I laughed under my breath at him causing a smile to ignite on Asher's face as well. Moving his hand to his mouth while he grinned from ear to ear, his blue eyes bright.

"Me Louis! Me only use one word! Me hungry!" I teased making Asher giggle out a little louder as I spoke poking fun at Louis.

"What are you two laughing at?" Louis asked as I took Asher out of the bath and wrapped him up in the same hooded towel with the little ears.

"Your illiterate ass." I held Asher while he smiled toothlessly at me while I supported him on my arm. His cheeks turning a rosy tint as he laughed at me, he was always so happy and I was a sucker for his little laugh and that cute as hell smile.

"Your daddy is real funny! Laugh it up! Go ahead, but just remember who feeds you when Daddy isn't home!" Louis came over and tickled Asher's tummy causing him to giggle uncontrollably. Gasping for air as Louis pulled away from his tickles I saw Liam come out from his bedroom.

"I feel like I'm missing out." Liam said poking Asher's tummy as he moved into my chest and laid his head on my shoulder looking at the two boys.

"Yeah, missing out on making me food." Louis responded while I moved over to the couch to lather Asher in lotion and dress him in his PJ's.

"Would you chill out?" Liam asked gathering ingredients from the fridge and pantry.

"You know how I get when I'm hungry!" Louis explained while I rubbed lotion onto Asher's soft skin. He smelt of Johnson and Johnson soap, nice and clean.

"Your Uncle Louis is a baby." I whispered to Asher who kicked and smiled chewing on his fist. "Yeah he's a baby!" I loved seeing him doing that, it was so cute!

"So is Len coming over tonight?" Liam asked me while I fastened a diaper to Asher and began to grab his PJ's.

Eleanor had come over the last couple nights just like old times. We talked over all the memorable times we all had together and also talked about college life and all the relatable experiences we all had. Eleanor was very relatable and that's what I loved about her, she could relate to anything you said and vise versa; she was real.

"I think so, she wanted to watch Train Wreck tonight." I called to Liam while helping Asher with putting his arms through the long sleeved onesie that had little stars and moons scattered across it.

"What is this?" Louis asked as Liam slid a plate in front of him.

"Dinner." Liam responded simply. Making me snort while zipping up Asher's PJ's and picking him up to lay in my chest. That was one thing that I also loved about my baby boy, he was such a little cuddle bug.

"Peanut butter and jelly?" Louis questioned looking at the sandwich he was clearly not interested in.

"Um with the crust cut off hello?" Liam told him pointing out the extra effort he put into the simple meal.

"Liam! Come on what about like a smothered burrito?" Louis pleaded with Liam to make him something a little more intricate.

"Do I look like some Mexican chef? Kids in Africa are starving and your complaining about your food choices while poor little Akua is shoveling dirt into his mouth?" I could help but laugh at Louis and Liam arguing over a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, going up to the plate from behind Louis I took his sandwich and took a bite out of it with my freehand.

"Ungrateful bitch." I said with a mouthful of my sandwich I had taken from Louis. Laughing as I chewed up the delicious sandwich.

"Language!" Liam warned me, I needed to work on my swearing now that we had Asher with us. I didn't swear much but I did have a tendency to curse sometimes.

"Sorry little man, daddy's got a dirty mouth." I kissed his forehead turning to the sound of our front door opening. Lighting up when I saw Eleanor in the doorway with again some more Christmas printed pajamas.

"I'm here!" Eleanor sang out closing the door and coming over to me, taking Asher and throwing him up in the slightly before catching him.

"You smell so good! Yes you do!" Eleanor cooed to Asher as he smiled brightly at her bringing his hands up to his mouth.

"What's with the pouty face Louis?" Eleanor asked putting Asher on her hip and coming into the kitchen to pop some popcorn.

"It's a long story." Louis rolled his eyes before finding some chips in the pantry and chowed down on the nacho cheese flavored Doritos.

"No actually it's a pretty short actually." I laughed taking another bit of the sandwich. "Basically Louis is hangry but also being very picky with his choices."

"Look I just want a smothered burrito, is that so much to ask for?" Louis whined while Eleanor stood by the microwave watching Asher jump at the popcorn popping. Utterly fascinated by the sound Asher slapped Eleanor's chest excitedly smiling at the popcorn bag that was inflating.

"Look how cute he is!" Liam gushes forgetting about Louis complaining and focusing on the baby and how happy he was about the popping popcorn.

"Do you like the popcorn?" Eleanor asked once the timer went off and she pulled the puffed up bag to dump into a bowl for the movie.

"You know what's sad? Is that he can't eat it? How boring would it be to drink milk all day every day? And soon he graduates to nasty ass baby food, how tragic." Louis ate a chip moving over to Eleanor who began to dump out the popcorn into a big blue bowl. "I'm sorry baby, you didn't do anything to deserve that!"

"Are you drunk?" Eleanor asked Louis arching one brow as she moved over to the couch where I flipped through the movies to find Train Wreck.

"No he's just on his period." I called over just as Len came and sat down next to me with the baby and the popcorn. Liam shutting off he lights and sitting in the other side of me while I held the popcorn in my lap.

"Hey I heard that!" Louis whined coming over to lay on the rug in front of the couch.

"I meant you too." I told him back pressing play on the movie as Asher sat up in Len's lap and began to pull her shirt down once again until she quickly pulled it up.

"Like father like son." She said nudged when Asher got frustrated. I don't know why he was always wanting to pull down her shirt. I didn't understand too, why he got upset when she would pull it back up and he wasn't able to do what he wanted.

Whining and becoming restless I was reminded whose bedtime it was. Passing the popcorn to Liam I took hold of Asher and laid him on my chest while I rubbed his back. Getting Liam to fetch us blankets to cover over me and Asher we made a train and passed blankets out to everyone else.

"Shhhhhh try and go to sleep." I hushed Asher rubbing his back while he yawned and rubbed his eyes. Within 20 minutes into the movie he was out like a light.

"Me!" Eleanor laughed when we got to the part of the movie where Amy was talking about how she didn't eat anything that day but then went on to name all the things she ate previous.

Before I knew it my hand intertwined with Len's subconsciously. Realizing what I did I felt her hand squeeze mine and a smile to curl at the ends of her lips from the side of my eye.

"I bet I could dunk on Labron James easy!" Louis said cockily when a basketball scene came on where the doctor was trying hard to make a basket against his friend Labron James.

"Oh yeah, right Louis!" Liam said in a sarcastic tone causing Eleanor to giggle keeping her eyes glued to the screen.

"Easy." Louis repeated once again shoving a handful of popcorn into his mouth.

"Keep dreaming champ." Eleanor chimed in making me crack a smile at her little comment to back Liam up.

"Louis, do you realize how small you are compared to him? You are like a boarder line midget to him." I started in hearing Liam chuckle at my poking fun at Louis' height.

"Um excuse me, my height allows me to be more agile and quick." Louis corrected me, making us see the upsides to his short height.

"You do know Labron James is like a legend right?" Liam asked Louis throwing a piece of popcorn into his mouth laughing at the scene we all watched.

"That's debatable." Louis countered causing us to all roll our eyes as if it were in unison.

"I really wish I knew Labron personally so I could invite him over to beat your ass in the game." I chuckled causing Liam and Eleanor both to laugh out loudly.

"That was savage!" Eleanor told me turning her head to look at me under the TV screen light.

"Hold the applause." I told her as she settled back down next to me. Laying her head on my shoulder looking down briefly at Asher who was sleeping soundly on my chest.

I was comfortable like this. I would let her lay like this all night if she wanted.

note// maybe a double update today? Question for all of you, what do you think about Harry and Eleanor together?
