Hold On To You

Zayn had gotten up first and then went back to his apartment to get something. He had arrived back at Liam's place and he was still asleep. Which Zayn didn't find surprising. At all. Hazel woke up and Zayn could hear her through the baby monitor.

He walked into her bedroom and saw her smiling at him.

"Good morning, sweetheart. Dada is still asleep, so I'll have to get you up." Zayn told her with a smile on his face. He picked her out of the crib. She was still wearing her onesie from last night when she went to bed.

Hazel gurgled up at him in her baby language. He looked into her eyes. They looked genuinely like Zayn's. Zayn felt like he was hallucinating when he saw the color of her eye. But a lot of people had hazel eyes. A lot of babies had hazel eyes. But Hazel's had a sparkling resemblance to Zayn's. He didn't know why. But he wanted to find out.

"Did you have a good sleep last night?" Zayn asked her.

Zayn walked back out to the kitchen she was still smiling. Liam still wasn't awake yet. Zayn chuckled. He was still asleep. He decided to get Hazel dressed and then hopefully Liam would be awake. After dressing Hazel in jeans and a cute little jumper, he walked back out into the kitchen. Liam was standing there at the counter with his back leaned against it. He was wearing a shirt and a pair of tracksuit bottoms.

"Good morning, my love" Zayn greeted. Hazel went mad when she saw her Dada
standing there. She had a huge smile on her face and started giggling. Liam returned a smile.

"Hey there, baby girl. How are you doing this morning?" Liam asked.

Then he looked up at Zayn. "Where did you go?" Liam asked.

"I went back to my apartment to get dressed and to get something for you. I want to take you out for breakfast." Zayn replied.

Liam arched an eyebrow. "Just me? What about Hazel?" Liam asked with a teasing tone. Zayn just rolled his eyes.

"Of course, Hazel's coming" Zayn replied.

"That's why she's dressed." Liam stated.

Zayn nodded and smiled. "Yes, that's why she's dressed. Now, you go get dressed so that we can go." Zayn told him. Liam nodded.

"I'll be back in a few minutes." Liam said to Zayn and then walked back into his bedroom. He shut the door behind him. Liam picked out a pair of jeans and a shirt. After quickly getting changed, he opened the door again.

Zayn was sitting at the table with Hazel in his lap. They both had a smile on their faces. Liam couldn't help but stand there and watch. A small smile pulled at the corners of Liam's lips.

Then Zayn noticed that he was standing there. Zayn grinned at him.

"Come on, are you ready? I have something that I want to give you."

Liam frowned. "What do you want to give me?"

Zayn couldn't help but grin at him. "That's for me to know and you to find out." Zayn teased him.

Liam furrowed his brow.

"You ready?" Zayn asked.

Liam nodded. "I just need to get Hazel's bag and then we can go." Liam replied.

After Liam got Hazel's bag, Liam grabbed his keys and they both left the apartment. Zayn still had Hazel in his arms and there was a car seat in the car for her. They reached Zayn's fancy car and Zayn opened the backseat and put her in the seat. Liam was looking on in shock.

"When did you buy her a car seat?" Liam asked. Zayn just shrugged.

"I bought it the other day. She's going to be in my car often and I know that you don't have a car, so you didn't feel the need for one." Zayn replied.
