The summer was over. It was Emily's first day at school. She was excited yet nervous. At her last school people avoided her because of her eyes.
"Good Morning pumpkin! Its your first day at school today" said Harry as he came into the room.
"Will you come to drop me?"
"Yes. Ofcourse. But Miss Catherine will pick you up as we have some work" he said with a frown.
Catherine was Emily's caretaker. She was in her mid 30s and was extremely kind. She had been a Nanny since she was 25 since she loved kids. Catherine was totally supportive of Louis and Harry's relationship and was becoming kind of their mom since she was almost always around. Emily had also grown attached to her.
"Oh! Okay." She frowned a little but then smiled at her papa and moved closer to him to give a hug.
"Lets get you ready shall we?" Harry got up and took put Emily's clothes while Emily went to the bathroom to take a bath.
She came out and got dressed herself. She looked at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath.
"Come here I'll do your hair" said Louis. She sat down on the floor and let him braid her hair into two ponytails. She got up to see herself when she was finished.
"DAD! What have you done?" She whined.
"Whhat? You look so nice" Louis said as he admired the loose and distorted braids he had done.
"PAPA!!" She called.
"What is it Emily? Oh my god! What happened to your hair"
"Dad did it" she rolled her eyes.
"Don't you roll your eyes at me young lady." Scolded Louis.
"Lou go and make breakfast. I'll do her hair" Harry sighed.
After an house Louis and Harry were seated in the car to drop Emily off at the school.
"Got your supplies?" Harry asked
"Yeah. Dad packed it for me last night"
"Then let me check first" Harry grabbed the bag
"OH C'MON" Louis slapped the steering wheel in annoyance.
"Mhhmm. Good work Lou. It has everything"
"If you haven't noticed, I have grown to be more responsible" he said as he started the engine
Emily laughed at her Dad's annoyed expression. Louis glared Emily before driving to the school.
On their way to the school the parents were teaching their daughter how and what to do when something happens. Louis was teaching her how to punch someone if they are being mean, Harry was punching Louis for that advice and Emily was laughing. Harry told her to be kind to everyone no matter what and Louis wasn't kind to Harry on that advice because apparently if someone is being mean to you, your should be double mean. Emily was getting confused. Their family was a perfect mess.
"Goodbye Dad" she kissed her father.
"Goodbye sweetie. Don't be shy. Go in like you own the place. Have confidence" said Louis.
"Yes dad. Goodbye Papa" she kissed Harry.
"Be kind. And respect everyone" she nodded and gave both of them a hug before grabbing the straps of her bag and walking in the school.
"It has only been a month. She has grown so much" said Louis
"I know. We have the best daughter in the world" Harry smiled. They got in the car before leaving for their rehearsals.

"Hello class! Welcome back to a new year! I am Miss Martha and I'm your teacher" the blonde haired lady smiled. "Why don't you all introduce yourselves"
The introductions started and Emily was peyinf special attention to know the names of her every classmate.
It was her turn now.
"I'm Emily May Tomlinson. I love music and I have two dads" she said
"How can you have two dads" she recalled his name as David.
"Why can't I?" She sneered at him
"No, you gotta have a mom and a dad. And your eyes are weird. Freak"
"DAVID! She is not a freak. She is beautiful and can have two dads. Quite now" Said Martha.
Emily was not liking David. She wanted to go over and pinch that face of his. The lesson started soon and she got engaged in it to think about that jerk.

"I would"
"Yeah"
"I would"
"Yeah"
"Good one boys. Take a break"
The five of them fell on the floor tired of the continuous singing.
"Pass the bottle" said Louis, sprawled on the floor.
"Lou!" Said Harry.
"Mmm"
"LOU!"
"Mmmmm" he said loudly.
"LOUIS FUCKING TOMLINSON! GET YOUR ASS UP" Harry screamed.
"What!? What? Who died?" He said rubbing her eyes.
The other three laughed at the boy.
"Emily's school called. Multiple times. They habe messaged that they wanna meet us at the end of the day when we come to pick her up" Harry whispered.
"Doesn't that happen whe you're in trouble?" Said Zayn.
"What did she do?" Asked Louis
"Its not written"
"What time is her dismissal?"
"In an hour. We gotta leave now. Her school is far" said Harry.
"But how do we leave the rehearsals? Raymond is gonna eat us alive" said Louis
"Let's all leave. They'd probably think we are messing with them. If you two leave alone then it would be suspicious" said Niall.
"Yeah. Let's leave before Carl comes back" said Zayn jumping off the stage.
They sneaked out of the place and drove to Emily's school. They reached the school before the last bell had rung. So Louis and Harry went to talk to the Principal.
They asked the office lady and soon enough they entered the room and sat in front of the Principal.
"What happened Mr. Dalton?"
"There has been an episode" he said with a concerned expression.
"What episode?"
"Emily punched a boy"
"Cool" said Louis.
Harry and the Principal glared at him. He looked down.
"Why? She wouldn't do that without a reason" said Harry.
"She claims that she was being bullied"
Before Harry could answer, Niall called him.
"Not now Niall" he hissed.
"Emily has a black eye" he said with a panic struck voice.
"WHAT!? Bring her to the office" he said.
Harry was mad. Like REALLY MAD.
"Why does my daughter has a black eye?" He asked through gritted teeth.
"She what?" Now Louis was mad.
"I- uh. Its only because the boy was trying to protect himself. She was on top of him punching him when we caught them" said the Principal.
Soon there was a knock on the door.
"Come in" growled Harry, glaring at the Principal.
Emily came in, looking down at her feet. Niall was standing behind her holding her hand.
"Come here" Louis gently pulled Emily towards himself. She looked up into his blue eyes with her brown- green ones. He gently stroked her bruise when she winced.
"What happened Emily?" Asked Harry.
"I'll tell you what happened" said the Principal.
"No. You will shut up" said Louis.
"David was teasing me about my eyes. Calling me a freak. I ignored him. He then started insulting you both and said you are also freaks. I was angry but I still ignored. He started pulling my frock so I punched him and he punched me back. It was not my fault. You told me that if someone-"
"Yeah pumpkin. We know what we told you. And we are proud of you for that. standing up. Its not your fault" said Harry running a hand over her head and giving her kiss on the forehead.
"She doesn't lie. Specially not to us. I don't care who that boy was. I know they are young. But what kind of a grown up are you? I mean you are older than us with a brain of a 1 year old" started Louis
"Excuse me?" Said the Principal clearly offended.
"So you call us here, knowing that we have busy schedules to tell us that our daughter had anger issues rather than informing us that she was hurt. You did not even listen to her side and blamed her. I don't want that happening again. If there is a problem, you have our number. You message us the problem and we will see if we can join you in your stupid complaints. Now be happy that we are not taking action against the school for not taking care of my daughter when she was clearly hurt" said Harry.
Harry got up along with Louis. Niall picked up Emily and they walked oit of the office like they owned the place. But then quickly put on their caps and goggles before heading out the school to their car.
Liam was at the driver's seat and Zayn was beside him. Niall sat with Emily on his lap while Harry got the first aid box.
"What happened?" Asked Zayn
"The Principal's birth. That bastard" growled Louis.
"Lets go for ice cream shall we?" Said Liam.
"Yess. Ow papa" she winced as Harry put some cream on the bruise.
"Don't we have to go to the rehearsals? Carl has already called 5 times" said Zayn.
"We have already left that place. Let's have some fun. Besides Emily wants ice cream. I want Ice cream. We win" said Liam before srarting the engine and driving off.
"What flavor Em?" Asked Zayn as they stood in the ice cream shop looking at so many flavors.
"Mint chocolate chip?"
"Okay. You all?" He looked at the other four.
After having their ice creams Liam dropped the family off at their house before gping back to their houses respectively.
'Dad? Papa? Are you angry at me?" Emiky asked throwing her bag on the couch.
"We told you, right? No we are not mad at you. You did the right thing. And if something like that happens in the future again, you do the same thing. Don't you worry about us"
"But you had to leave your rehearsals because of me"
"honestly it was a relief. We were tired anyways. We are really sweaty so I am going to take a shower" said Louis.
"I'll join you" said Harry winking.
"And I will get changed into my pajamas"
