ZAYN'S POV

Harry opened the bedroom door while I patiently stood behind him. And behind the door stood a very pretty girl who was smirking at Harry. "Come on babe, Beth sent me up to fetch you for the Christmas breakfast."

"Oh, okay," Harry nodded awkwardly.

"Am I invited too?" I asked cheekily, leaning my chin on Harry's shoulder. The girl, Elise's, eyes widened when she saw me.

"W-who are you?"

"Hazza's boyfriend," I answered her, kissing a blushing Harry's cheek. Elise blinked in surprise for a moment, then smirked.

"My my, aren't you all dark and handsome!" She eyed me appreciatively. Harry snorted, shaking his head.

"Yeah, I know Elise. And also, all mine," he practically growled. God, I love this Harry, all possessive. "Let's go down then, yeah?" Harry took my hand firmly in his and led me down the stairs behind Elise. As we climbed down the stairs, I could hear the noises belonging to a very boisterous family.

I gulped nervously. And why I was nervous meeting Robin's family, you ask? Because, I was afraid that if they didn't like me, it won't leave a good impression of Harry as well. And I didn't want Harry's possibly future father's family to think of him that way. I wonder if they even knew if he was gay?

We reached the living room where quite a lot of people, ranging from little kids to old people, were busy in different things. It was really loud, and the room suddenly became silent as Harry walked in, pulling me behind him.

"Zayn? What are you doing here?" Robin asked, incredulous.

"Er, hi Robin, hi Anne," I greeted. "I came here to talk to Harry, I couldn't wait 'til the New Year," I told them and smiled at Harry, who gave a dimpled smile back.

Anne smiled at me proudly. "Good for you. I'm glad you came. But on Christmas, your family...?" She trailed off.

I rubbed my neck sheepishly. "Uh, yeah. I guess they'll be mad, but Harry is more important."

All of Robin's family was quiet, watching our exchange. An old lady spoke up. "Care to introduce us, Harry?"

Harry blushed. "Y-yes. Beth, this is my boyfriend, Zayn," Harry told her, holding his breath. The old lady, Beth's, eyes twinkled and she beamed at Harry.

"Oh my! Isn't he adorable!" She came over and pinched my cheeks, while I blushed madly. Everyone in the living room laughed at Beth's actions, including Harry and I.

"Thank you," I grinned at her.

"You're gonna stay for breakfast?" Another lady asked me sweetly. I shook my head. "Uh, that's very nice of you, but I think I better go." Yeah, I can't fucking wait to face my parents after this.

"Oh come on! Stay for the Christmas breakfast!" Almost all of them started chanting, and I was amazed at how hospitable these people were. Anne and Harry really found a nice family.

"Please?" Harry asked me, with those big green eyes of his, and I crumbled. "Alright! Just for breakfast! Thank you all so much," I added.

The Christmas breakfast was amazing. I mean the food was good, yeah. Harry and I kept playing footsie, and Robin's family were really nice people. They even managed to make me feel not left out. I felt like a part of the family, even if I was not.
