"Daddy wan hugs" Ezra says crossing his arms. "You wants some hugs?" Liam asks looking away from his laptop.

"Yesh" "Well let me finish this one sentence" "No! Hug now!" "Who told you to act like this?" Baba" he says cheesing widely.

Liam chuckles picking up the small two year old, placing him on his lap. "Okay so what's up bub?" He asks, hugging him to his chest.

"I wan wion" "A lion?" "Yesh" "we don't have that type of money for no lion Ezzy" "I wan monkeh" "no monkeys"

"Loki" "Okay we can get you Loki. Where is he?" Ezra shrugs, "I fin doggy" he says sliding off of Liam's lap, rushing out of Liam's home office with his little legs.

Liam smiles fondly at him before continuing his paper. "Liam?" "Yes dear?" "I think I broke something" Zayn says from the hallway.

"Zee what did you break?" He asks, hoping his water didn't break.

"A picture" "Why did you break a picture?" Liam ask, taking off his glasses. "I don't know, my bump did it" Zayn says waddling in, holding the cracked frame of him and Liam from college

"Aw that's my favorite picture!" Liam says as Zayn sets the frame infront of him. "Sorry, I was cleaning and when I turned around my bump hit it" Zayn says with a pout

"It's okay, we'll get a new one" Zayn nods waddling over to the shelf with books, "Do you have Ezzy's baby book here?"

"Yeah, why?" "I want to look at it" he says pulling out the pastel yellow book, with a picture of Ezra when he was one month old

Zayn smiles, "He was so small" he coos, sitting in the chair infront of Liam's desk. He opens the large scrap book quietly smiling widely, "I can't believe he's two, it feels like we had found him yesterday"

"Same, I remember when he was still bald" Liam says making Zayn giggle a little. Zayn continued to flip through the book, he came across a picture of him and Ezra on his first Halloween

He was a little lion, "Li you remember this?" He asks showing him the picture. Liam looks up from his screen smiling, "Yeah, Ezzy's first Halloween. That's when you finally got to go out with Harry and the kids"

Zayn smiles to himself, he remembered that he was so happy that day. He always dreamt about taking his own child out for trick or treat and he was blessed to finally do so, even if he was a baby

He flipped more and he remember his first Christmas, Liam dressed up as Santa clause and Ezra didn't like it at all.

Poor baby was scared out of his mind, but what would you have done if a strange 'fat' man with a white beard tried putting you on his lap?

Liam had pulled off the beard and Ezra immediately stopped crying, he even started to squeal and babble about knowing it was his daddy

Then he remembers Easter, where Zayn bought and made him wear a bunny costume. Zayn didn't even notice that he was tearing up, as he flipped the pages

It was like every page was a memory he would never forget, not even the one when Ezra first laughed.

Zayn took a picture and it was when Ezra was five months old and Liam was making him laugh, carrot mush on his shirt obviously
