Hiatus Direction 2016 - January Part 1 - Freddie Reign
This is the first official installment of Hiatus Direction 2016. It will cover part of January, but will focus on the birth of Freddie Reign Tomlinson. The first born child of One Direction.
Here is the link to the Preamble
Happy Birthday Freddie Reign
Well, I did say that the year 2016 began with a birth. Louis Tomlinson's complicated life was about to become a whole lot more complicated. More complicated then anyone could imagine.
Late in the Night/Early morning of Jan 20, 2016, Louis Tomlinson tweeted:
Throughout the day on January 21, 2016, rumors were growing around the fandom that Briana Jungwirth was in Labor, and that Baby Tommo's arrival was imminent.
And so in fact, it came to pass that on January 21, 2016, Louis Tomlinson, age 24 became the father of the first One Direction offspring. A baby boy named Freddie Reign Tomlinson
However, as there was no announcement that day or the next, the fandom waited anxiously for the news. In the Afternoon of the 22nd, Louis was papped near the hospital going into a Sunglasses Hut. It was duly noted by the tabloids that he appeared to be wearing a hospital bracelet.
<--- You can see the bracelet on his left wrist. (And more on the Sunglasses Hut visit later.)
Finally on the 23rd Louis himself announce Freddie's birth via his Twitter account:
He also posted a jaw droppingly beautiful shirtless photograph holding his newborn child. Louis and his Little Lad.
<--- Louis with his two day old son Freddie, published on Jan 23, 2016. Look at that teeny tiny newborn human. Look at his brand new dad, not quite yet knowing the right way to hold a newborn... Handsome, strong, sweet and vulnerable. Human.
Later this photo leaked of Louis holding Freddie in the hospital... with the sunglasses.
<--- Alert! New dad being a geek!
*****
So, What Did It All Mean?
For Louis and Briana, it meant transitioning into parenthood in a very public way. On Jan. 25th and 26th, days after the birth, they were papped taking Freddie to his doctor's appointments. There would be many pappings to come because apparently, "Boybander with a Baby" is quite the draw.
<--- Louis taking his son to the Doctor's Office
<--- And BTW Briana was there too, every step of the way. And hey, you Trumpish Larrie Birthers, get a load of her post-baby bump, which the Big Larries have brainwashed you into thinking didn't exist...
***
For the Fandom, it meant more division then ever. The Larrie Tinhats were NOT happy. The Big Larrie bloggers had been promising their poor little flock members, since July of 2015, that "There Is No Baby". So, now they were scrambling and stewing up the new theories they would use to try and explain why the thing they said would never happen - had happened.
The main theories revolved around photo shopping babies into Louis arms, borrowed children from Modest employees, and the one they finally settled on - Freddie is a doll. That's right. They decided that the adorable child Louis so lovingly cradled in the above photograph was the result of photo shop or even more despicably, a doll. Because, they explained, "Louis would NEVER pretend to hold a baby that wasn't his and claim it was unless "Boss Man" forced him to".
How could anyone disrespect this beautiful child? And yet there is a large pestilence of such people in the 1D fandom who long ago let their jealousy run away with their common decency. psst. the $^*%$ Larries. They must be addressed in regards to their horrendous response to the birth of Louis' child. And I will. I promise.
<--The Larries, quite honestly don't know what they hell they are talking about. (Briana's photo with her newborn.)
****
As I mentioned in the Preamble, while Louis and Briana worked to establish a co-parenting relationship for their newborn son, Louis was also dating Danielle Campbell. Jan 30 was Danielle's 21st birthday, they were papped going to dinner to celebrate.
<--- Complete with baby blue balloons to celebrate Freddie's birth as well as celebrate Danielle's birthday.
As I said, and will continue to repeat, Louis life during this time was complicated.
****
Before I move on, there is one last subject to address regarding Freddie's birth. Johanna Deakin, Louis mother, and the mother of six others as well, came to Los Angeles to greet her first grandchild. She was a Midwife by profession, so of course she was there to welcome Freddie. Jay provided us with some wonderful pictures of Louis with newborn Freddie:
<---These are the best! Louis was a loving new daddy.
But, in retrospect, the most important photo was this one:
<---Johanna Deakin with her first born son, and his first son, January 2016.
Later in the year we would learn just how truly precious this photo is.
****
There is more to say about January. The other boys were doing things too. So the next post will be January Part II. Not all months will need two parts. In fact some months later in the year were very low key. But not January, that's for sure. So see you in Part II.
