Hiatus Direction 2016 - February - Secret Love Song #1
Welcome to the February entry for my recap of Hiatus Direction: 2016. I'm going to take my time with February. So, like January, this month will have multiple entries. February 2016 is worth the effort. Especially for Lilo. In the Preamble, I mentioned that 2016 would be about Birth, Love, and Death, and well, February, the month of love, will focus on the Romance. And specifically it will focus on Liam and Louis and their Secret and not so Secret Romances.
Here is your recap of the recap so far:
Hiatus Direction 2016 - Preamble: Birth Love and Death
Hiatus Direction 2016 - January Part 1 - Freddie Reign
Hiatus Direction 2016 - January Part 2 - Into the Wilderness
So here we go Part 1 will continue Louis' story....
Secret Love Song #1 - Louelle
To be honest, If I had been a friend of Danielle Campbell in late 2015 I would have advised her NOT to get involved with Louis Tomlinson. In general, dating a man who is expecting a baby with another woman is going to ultimately cost you a broken heart. Yes, I know, Spoiler Alert, but you'll just have to wait for the 2017: Solo Direction series for that Secret Love Song to Play out.
Anyway, back in 2016, this is an example of what the tabloids were saying:
Frankly there are a lot of alarm bells in this particular tabloid paragraph which should speak for themselves. These were not ideal circumstances for which to begin a romance. But never-the-less, Louis and Danielle were plunging right in.

Louelle
Feb 2016 began for Louis and Danielle (Louelle) with pap pictures of their dinner date to celebrate her 21st birthday:
<--- Only ten days after Freddie's birth
They were also spotted by Fans at a pre-Grammy Party of Feb. 14 looking very loved up.
<--- Happy Valentines Day. We all know that a Valentines date means something....
And on Feb. 20 they were papped outside a Bristol Farm's grocery store:
<--- The couple who shops togerther..

The Other Side of the Coin
Oh, by the way... Have I mentioned that Louis' life was complicated? According to Tabloid Reports Briana had thoughts on Louis' new romance. And really, deep down, could you blame her if she wasn't pleased with the situation?
.
<--- Briana solo papped with her mother and Baby Freddie, Feb 2016
Not that anyone should actually trust tabloid articles, but here is a sampling of what they were talking about in regards to Briana, Louis and Danielle.
First, there was supposedly a custody battle going on. There were various stories going around that Briana was denying Louis access and/or that he was taking her to court to get more time with his son. And most articles implied that Briana was asking for Louis to empty his wallet. It always came down to the implication that Briana was a gold digger Here is an example article from TMZ- Custody War Settled: I Get Custody of the Baby... For a Price
Second, the tabloids were reporting that Briana had Banned Danielle from being in Freddie's life. These articles portrayed Briana as a jealous shrew. - Briana Jungwirth Refusing To Let Louis Tomlinson's Girlfriend Near Freddie
Third, were articles documenting the hatefulness and cruelty of the 1D fandom, as Briana defended herself - Briana Jungwirth Slams Internet Trolls over Baby Freddie Photo
And worst of all was the harassment leveled against Briana and her family courtesy of the One Direction Fandom, Tinhats and Non Tinhats alike. - Family of Louis Tomlinson's Baby Mama Forced To Call In Lawyers After Death Threats
Of course, I should mention that Tabloid Articles should never be trusted, and yet my point stands. Louis was embarking on a new romance at the same time as welcoming his new son with poor, jilted Briana. Which is not to say that louis wasn't doing his duty by his son:
On Feb 19, Louis posting another utterly gorgeous shirtless photograph with baby Freddie.
<---What really matters (Bonus he's learned to cradle one month old Freddie so much better.)
The Mini-Reunion
Louis' month would end with one last stop - The Britt Awards in London on Feb. 22 with Liam for a One Direction Mini-Reunion. And remember, I said that Feb. belongs to Lilo, and that is in part because of their joint appearance together for the Britt Awards to accept the groups latest awards.
<--- Many wish that this was the real Secret Love Song of 2016... LOL They are so samn handsome!
Louis answered many questions that night on the red carpet, looking gloriously happy and healthy.
<--- Anyone else think that Liam looks a little Jealous? Maybe, but another spoiler alert, just wait until 2017 :)
So, this was Louis Tomlinson's life circa Feb. 2016. On the surface, he seemed to be handling things well. Unfortunately for him, it would not be getting any easier. There would be many more secrets just over the horizon about an entirely different Secret Love Song, and and impending tragedy which in Feb. of 2016 no one could have imagined.

The next installment will cover Liam's bombshell.

Anyway, back in 2016, this is an example of what the tabloids were saying:
As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, Danielle is amazed by how wonderful of a father Louis is. “For Danielle, it’s just been absolutely amazing watching Louis as a father. His level of commitment and love has made her fall even deeper in love with him, and she continues to be very supportive of Louis,” an insider tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “She understands that his main priority is his baby boy and she gets it. At first, it was a little challenging, but in the end she sees how happy Louis is and how he’s really evolved into an even more wonderful person.”
Frankly there are a lot of alarm bells in this particular tabloid paragraph which should speak for themselves. These were not ideal circumstances for which to begin a romance. But never-the-less, Louis and Danielle were plunging right in.
