E I G H T : Dining with the Devil
"Baba you doing it again!" Louis reminded rudely as he sat disturbed at the dining room table attempting to complete his homework. Niall exhaled lightly a high pitched tone lacing it as he grinned at Liam who gurgled back with giggles and squeals, "Doing what baby?" Niall questioned his voice annoyingly high, "Baby voice." Louis groaned, "What baby voice?" Niall asked keeping the squeaky tone for Liam's amusement, "That one!"
"Well when you find a way to get Liam to eat then I'll stop." Niall returned not stopping with the voice everyone but Liam despised. "He eat if you feed him." Louis pointed out, "Only if it's something he wants. Like yummy peaches!" Niall resumed bringing the spoon to the hybrids mouth as the latter accepted it gladly even though he hated peaches. Niall was the only one who could feed him the healthy stuff. Zayn wouldn't do the voice right, and Harry would make himself sick when he tried the baby food himself after swearing to Liam it was delicious.
"Hey, I'm going to get ready for my interview. Can you watch the boys?" Harry called entering the room, Louis sending him a smile, "I can't, I have a doctors appointment." Niall reminded, "Ugh, I forgot. Okay fine. Louis lets go get you dressed and can you handle Liam?" With a nod from the man Harry turned scooping Louis into his arms causing a laugh from the hybrid, "Daddy down!" Harry chuckled then, "I thought I was holding Louis. Must be Liam." Louis sent a playful glare kissing his cheek as he was set down on Harry's bed burying himself under the covers as his daddy dressed himself. "How does this look?"
"Good daddy!" Louis assured, Harry posing goofily in tight black jeans with a deep blue shirt on his tattoos popping from his arms. Walking Louis to his own room Harry rummaged through his closet, "Black jeans?"
"I don't care."
"How about black jeans and the big brother Jersey and Liam can wear the little brother one?" Harry suggested, Louis groaned, "The fans will adore it." Harry hinted resulting in Louis quickly agreeing. Jogging to Liam's room he saw Niall at his closet, "Put him in his little brother Jersey and black jeans. Black converse for him, I'll put Louis in vans." Harry rambled returning to Louis who had switched his attention to his phone. "Where are your black Vans?"
"I no know." Louis mumbled focusing on his racing game, "Found them! Lean back for me so I can tie them." Harry ordered pushing Louis on his back stuffing his feet in his vans tying them before standing him up fixing his hair quickly, "The messy look fits you well Lou Lou." Harry chuckled guiding him to the living room as he gathered a diaper bag together putting plenty of pacifiers and extra sets of clothes. "Alright, this ones ready." Niall announced as Liam giggled running in front of him climbing on the couch to sit by Louis grinning as Niall grabbed a camera. "Put your arm around him Lou." Louis sighed pulling Liam close knowing it was their matching shirts that caused the picture.
Readying himself Harry adjusted his posture on the couch with Liam remaining between his legs curious but too scared of getting in trouble to move away. He had already been given two swats that morning when Harry woke him up and he threw his toy at him. Liam just didn't like being woke up. "Sit up here baby." Harry mumbled sitting Liam next to him on the couch hearing him whine in protest, "I need you to be quiet. That goes for both of you." Harry added seeing Louis snicker at Liam. "Hi! Harry Styles, I'm Angela Bassett. I'll be doing your interview today. Who are these two joining you?" Angela started crossing her legs in her chair, "These are my two boys, Louis and Liam. Louis is the oldest just turning seventeen. Liam is fourteen about to be fifteen in a few months." Harry responded feeling Liam return to his lap cuddling into him. Moving Liam onto the couch again Harry heard the cry Liam gave when his bottom touched the couch, "So how's everything been going? I know you guys are taking a break from touring until Zayn gets back, yes?"
"That's correct, until Zayn returns we're on break doing as many interviews and photo shoots as needed." Harry replied, "Are you wanting anymore children?"Angela asked, "No, these two monsters are plenty to handle. It's always been a dream of mine to be a father, and these two have made it a reality better than I could have ever dreamed." Harry answered grinning at the two hybrids, who played with a microphone, "Liam give me that." Harry ordered taking it gently as Liam held on firmly, "Sorry, they tend to pick up the first thing in sight when their bored." Harry apologized moving Liam to his lap as he fought the microphone out of his hand sending a punishing slap to his thigh. "Its fine, so who usually handles the discipline in the house?" Angela resumed, as Louis squirmed in his seat, "We all partake in dishing out discipline, it ranges from timeouts to of course a more physical form of punishment."
"Yes, well let's take a look at this clip from Keeping Up With One Direction-"
"Lee look!" Louis squealed running into his brothers room with his new science experiment. Handing Liam a bottle of diet coke Louis took the top off giving Liam a reassuring smile, "Just hold the bottle Lee, 'otay?"
" 'Otay 'bubby." Liam gushed giggling himself as Louis opened up the packet of Mento's. "Now drink just a little bit of the coke." Louis ordered helping Liam take a sip, "Don't swallow it!" Louis rushed as Liam gave him a curious look holding his head back as the caffeine burned his throat, hovering with the candy over his mouth Louis dropped two in watching instantly as Liam sprung forward having everything spew from his mouth. Sobs started after, causing Louis to panic trying to shush his younger brother, "Lee hush! I-I'll p-play with you! Hush!" It was too late, Niall had ran through the door seeing the open bottle of diet coke and mints on the floor along with the stain in the carpet, lifting Liam up he carried him to the bathtub running him water. Louis followed knowing he was about to be lectured, "What happened? Truth, now." Niall ordered narrowing his eyes at Louis as Liam dried his tears in the bathtub his cries now just out of fussiness. Sighing, Louis peered up innocently, "I-I s-saw 'd-dis thing o-on YouTube a-and i-I got L-Lee to try it." Niall could only sigh, "You cannot experiment on your brother. Do you understand me?"
"Yes Baba." Louis grumbled, "Go play until I finish with Liam, then we'll clean the spot up." Niall rambled washing Liam, "W-Will I g-get a 'spankin?" Louis whimpered, "We'll ask daddy."
"What did daddy do?" Angela asked smiling at Louis who hid embarrassed into Harry's side for protection, "We did discuss a proper punishment for the matter and it was dealt with." Harry replied rubbing Louis' back soothingly, "Do Niall and Zayn usually come to you for discipline?"
"No almost never actually. Zayn is usually the one we go too when the punishment is for a greater cause. He's wears the pants in the household." Harry chuckled, "I see. When can we expect to see more pictures of Haylor?" Angela pryed, "We're having dinner tonight, I'll be sure to post of few. She's dining with the boys and me." Harry replied, "At your house?"
"No at a restaurant I wish to keep secret if you understand." Angela nodded grinning at Liam again who held Harry's hand that rested on his stomach, "Such cuties." She cooed again before waving towards the camera, "That's all we have time for thank you everyone for joining us. Until next time."
"Baba!" Liam called as Harry strapped him in his car seat, "Baba's at home Lee."
"No."
"Yes." Harry reminded moving to Louis' side, "Up you go bud."
"Daddy?" Louis asked deeming Liam silent to listen, "Yes?"
"We 'weally 'havin supper 'wif Taylor?" Harry sighed at the question hating he had to put his babies through it. "Yes it's true. But it'll be really fun! Know why? Cause we're going somewhere that serves the best Pizza in the world!" Harry exclaimed hoping a smile would appear on his little man's face, "Best Pizza?" Harry tried again, "O-Okay daddy." Louis whispered sadly with tears filling his eyes, "Come on bud, you like Taylor. She's just like Sophia-"
"No not!" Louis spat angry Harry had just compared the two. "You're right bud, their not the same people."
"I 'anna see mumma." Liam mumbled glancing up from his snake, "No Lee, we go see 'Taywor. Not mumma." Louis grumbled crossing his arms telling Harry he wasn't open to listening anymore. Liam whimpered his ears hiding in his hair, "I-I 'ant m-mumma." Harry sighed softly sliding in the drivers seat, "Maybe we'll go see mumma tomorrow before Papa gets home." Liam sniffled tears pulling into his eyes as his nap time neared, Louis noticed grabbing Liam's hand in his both hybrids falling fast asleep.
"Liam wake up baby." Niall cooed lifting him from the crib he was napping in. "Let Baba see those eyes. Let me see 'em." Liam giggled quietly peering up at his Baba as he was laid on his changing table being dressed for the Haylor dinner tonight. Liam wore a blue sweater and black jeans while Louis wore a red one and black jeans. White converse for Liam, White vans for Louis. Two grey bibs, two grey pacifiers, Liam's stuffed tiger, Louis' stuffed bear. The diaper bag rested on Harry's shoulder as he took Liam's hand turning to kiss Niall goodbye. Planting his lips on his, Niall grabbed Harry's face, "No drinking tonight-"
"Babe-"
"Promise me Harry. No drinking." Niall begged, Harry nodded kissing him again, "I promise. No drinking tonight." With the swear, Niall let Harry go kissing both his boys even though Louis begged to stay home he sat strapped in a car seat sucking harshly on a pacifier. "Don't chew the nipple off Lou Lou." Harry started with a smile but quit seeing his son's face. It wasn't one of joy.
"Hey!" Taylor called greeting Harry with a kiss who adjusted Liam on his hip who had whined due to leaving his snake in the car. What was he supposed to play with now? Harry's hair looks interesting. Twirling it in his fingers Liam was quickly placed in his highchair with a stern glare from Harry, "Do not touch Daddy's hair. You know better." Liam groaned finding that the "don't play with daddy's hair rule" was quite stupid. He could always play with it at home. Louis timidly sat down on the other side of Harry, who took his seat in front of Taylor. "There are five paid paparazzi taking pictures. Just thought I'd let you know." Taylor added seeing Harry scan the building seeing a few of them waiting to prance toward snapping pictures like wild animals.
"Have you tried the chicken here?" Taylor started pursing her lips as Harry cleared his throat looking up from Louis, "I haven't is it good?"
"It's great."
"I might have some."
"You should. Hows Zayn and Niall?"
"Their fine, this night is about us."
"You haven't ordered a scotch yet. Who else is it about?"
"I promised someone."
"I don't care who you promised. Order a scotch so our date looks like normal. I love you Harry, and I love children." Taylor growled her smile piercing Harry's heart as he knew the devil set in front of him. "What can I get you all to eat tonight?"
"I'd like the grilled chicken with the lemon zest." Harry scoffed quietly at the look Taylor sent him, "He'll have the kids pizza, and I will take the chicken as well. Also a scotch please." Harry ordered professionally not letting Taylor's constant glare get to him. "The candlelight really shows your true beauty." Harry mused once the waitress was out of earshot, "There's no candle light." Taylor sneered, "That must be why I don't find you attractive." Harry murmured, Louis gasped understanding the joke perfectly, giggling to himself until his caught notice of Taylor's look. "Are you hungry Lee Lee?" Taylor cooed grinning at the hybrid who had set there keeping himself entertained by a spoon. "Let me make his bottle." Taylor offered holding her hand out as Harry went to do it, "Okay.. Here." Dumping the powder into the water Taylor shook it up watching as Liam grinned at the bottle making grabby hands for it, "Does he want me to hold him?" Taylor questioned, "No he'll scream if you do that." Harry snapped tying a bib around Liam, "Don't drink that all at once. I don't want you going to sleep." Harry ordered as Taylor handed the bottle to him. Liam sucked on the nipple watching the cars move from outside until Harry returned the bottle to the table.
When the dinner arrived at the table Louis remained quiet as he ate slowly, Harry cut up his chicken feeding bites to Liam who repeatedly turned his head becoming distracted by something little. "The dinner was good." Taylor hummed when the check came, Harry paying. "Delicious." Harry added rising to grab Liam, "Tell Taylor bye baby." With a small wave Liam buried himself into Harry exhausted, Louis refused to tell Taylor bye until Harry crouched down to his level, "Unless you want a spanking in front of everyone go tell her bye. Hug and all." Louis protested until Harry smacked his backside bringing tears to his eyes, "I'm counting to three." Louis sniffled running to Taylor as she lifted him to her hip, "Did Daddy spank you? He's so mean sometimes." Taylor cooed carrying him to the SUV they arrived in. When Harry took the sobbing Louis buckling him in his car seat Harry put a pacifier in kissing his forehead shutting the door. "See you Soon." Taylor mumbled kissing Harry again. "Alright my love."
On his fifth scotch for the night Harry groaned laying his head in his open hand on his desk. Niall was in the living room watching TV quietly not bothering to ask Harry any questions about his date. Both boys were put in bed, Louis refusing to have anything to do with Harry.
"Tomorrow everything will be okay again. I promise." Niall whispered as he rested on Harry's chest that night in bed. The taller man was knocked out by his drinking, being drug to bed by Niall.
The family had another day together, the last one before Zayn came home, as they traveled an hour from their home to see Louis and Liam's adopted mum Sophia and her girlfriend Eleanor. Both women were always really close with Harry growing up, when Niall met Eleanor they were perfect for each other if they both hadn't been attracted to the same sex. So as a compromise, instead of the boys calling them their aunts (because they really do have those) the hybrids refer to the women as their mothers because Sophia and Eleanor really don't want children twenty four seven. The women enjoy focusing on themselves more than they do children.
"Mumma! Mumma!" Liam sang clapping his hands in his car seat, "We're going to see mumma baby." Niall chuckled glancing to Harry who nursed his headache. "B-Bump! Bumpy bubby!" Liam resumed his loud cheering as Niall drove over the speed bumps, entering the apartments parking lot. "Liam I know you're excited baby but you have to quiet down babe. Mommies don't live in a place where kids are everything." Niall reminded helping both boys out, Louis had slept through the ride tuning Liam's cheers out. Harry carried his eldest son inside knowing how mad he still was at him. Liam raced Niall to the door knocking on it, "Mumma! Mumma open up!" When the door flew open a worried looking Sophia appeared clothed with her hair half fixed, "My goodness where's the fire little man?" She chuckled scooping Liam into her arms after kissing him for a greeting, "Hey Soph." Niall called hugging her, "Where's Harr- hey, is my oldest baby asleep?" She added rubbing Louis' back, "He's been grumpy this morning." Niall returned, "Is El here?" Harry asked laying Louis on the couch, "Yea, she's in the bedroom, why don't you go get here?" Sophia suggested sitting Liam down as he ran to get Eleanor, "Mommy, Mommy!" The adults smiled warmly at him, "He seems to be doing a lot better."
"Very much so. He was super excited to come see his mommies today." Niall informed laughing when Liam returned pulling Eleanor behind him, "I didn't know our babies were coming to see us today! What a pleasant surprise!" Louis jolted awake when he heard the loud voice of his mommy, "M-mommy... Mumma.." He whined holding his arms out as Eleanor moved to scoop him up. "Hey sweetheart." She cooed kissing his forehead, "Awe, my big baby, huh? What's the matter?"
"Might be the dinner date he attended last night." Sophia interjected raising an eyebrow at Harry who sent her a nod, "Most likely. I made him hug Taylor." Eleanor gasped holding Louis closer, "I wouldn't want to hug her either baby. I heard her hair is fake! Just like her voice." Louis giggled loving how crazy their mommy was. She just always knew what to say. "When does Zayn return home?" Sophia questioned moving into the kitchen as Eleanor cuddled on the couch with the boys. Niall joined her kissing her cheek, "My beautiful El."
"And my gorgeous Gay best friend." She added directing a smile towards Niall who shrugged chuckling with her.
"Zayn is coming home tomorrow. We haven't video chatted in a while, and he hasn't been to public because twitter isn't blowing up." Harry muttered, "We'll you know how weird he is about being forced to date and stuff." Sophia reminded, "Yea I know. I just hope he comes back okay."
"He be fine Harry. Worry about you some."
"I'm fine." Harry assured, "Says about every other "fine" person in the world." Sophia pressed pulling Harry into a hug both of them needed, "I expected cameras to be here." Sophia suddenly exclaimed, "I paid them to give us an hour before they come in."
"Oh... Oh! You're serious! Harry, my hair!" Sophia groaned running to the bathroom to finish straightening it.
When the day with the mommies had finished the two hybrids were passed out in their car seats, Harry drove home seeing how tired Niall was. Laying the boys in his bed, Niall and Harry cuddled on the couch when Louis stalked into the room heading straight for Niall's lap curling into him, "I-I 'ant Papa." He whined, "I know babe. He comes home tomorrow." Niall soothed, "C-can we s-Skype him?"
"Of course sweetheart. Harry can you grab my laptop?" Bringing it to his lap, Harry called Zayn from Skype waiting until his husbands face filled the screen. "Papa!" Louis squealed, "Hey Lou Lou."
"I miss you!"
"I miss you too bub.. Save me some power ranger time okay? I wanna play as soon as I get home tomorrow." Zayn assured as Louis nodded with a grin, "Where's my baby?"
"Lee Lee still 'sleepin." Louis replied, "Zayn are you wearing a long sleeve shirt?" Niall questioned finding it odd, Zayn glanced at his shirt, "Yea, its cold in here."
"Oh. Y-you just never wear them." Niall added, Zayn shrugged, " 'M cold, my babies aren't here to cuddle with me. Neither are my husbands." Harry chuckled, "We'll be there tomorrow. But so will the cameras and fans. Our show has gotten more views then Keeping up with the Kardashian's!" Zayn went wide eyed, "Wow.. I blame it on the adorable hybrids running around." Louis giggled again, "Well I better get off here, Perrie and I have a date. Tell Liam I love him. Give him extra kisses. Louis I love you baby, I'll see you tomorrow." Zayn rambled blowing a kiss to the camera, Louis did the same waving, "Bye Papa!"
