Liams POV
'Harry please sit down. We can just have takeout for tonight no one would be upset with that.' I beg as he waddles around the kitchen preparing dinner for tonight. "Harry we can do it you just go sit down." Louis try to reason with him. He stops what he's doing with a huff and stares at the four of us placing his hands on his hips. "I am fine. I took a nap for at least four hours and if I left the cooking to you four there would be no house to host this game night in." he states anger rising in his tone as he speaks. He picks up one of his potatoes and starts to angrily peal it never once breaking eye contact. "Okay, okay we get it. But at least let us help in some way." Niall says causing Harrys glare to soft as he ponders for a moment. "Alright. Louis could you go check every single one of our boardgames and make sure everyone of them have all the pieces?" Louis nods and dashed out of the kitchen into the family room. "Zayn and Niall could you boys tidy up the house?" they nod as Niall was about to further question he quickly clarifies "To my standards." Niall shut his mouth and the two of them make there way to tidy up. "Liam could you help me by being my sou chef?" he gives me a cheeky smile as I nod quickly ready for him to hand me anything. He lets out a little giggle as he puts in front of me a cutting board, knife, and veggies "Chop these up please." he kisses my cheek before he goes back over to his potatoes.
When Harry places the shepards pie in the oven the doorbell sounds. He shuts it fast before he waddles his way to the front door. "LOTTIE!" he shrieks happily when the little family comes into the house. "OH MY GOD! Harry look at you! You look absolutely AMAZING!" she tells him excitedly with Eddie on her hip clapping his hands at his Uncle Harry. A light blush dusts Harrys cheek at the compliment as the boys enter the hall they each coo at him. Fully embarrassed he goes to grab Eddie off Lotties hip only to be stopped by Zayn. "Babe, maybe we should let the people who aren't pregnant pick up the babies tonight?" he try to suggest only to get an eye roll from both him and Lottie. "Boys it's perfectly fine if he wants to hold Ed, it won't hurt him or the baby. He knows his limits and if he feels good let him hold Eddie." Lottie tells us handing the giggling toddler over to his favorite Uncle. Once Ed's in his hold he starts kissing the boy all over his face as we make our way to the living room.
"Hows my favorite nephew doing." he asks the toddler when he done attacking him with kisses "Good Unkle Hawwy!" the toddler responds with a smile on his lips. "Just what I like to hear. Now I think I have some juice in my fridge but thats only for good little ones. Have you been good for mummy and daddy?" he asks with a smirk "YES! I've been the bestest boy for mummy 'n daddy." He says bouncing in Harrys grip. "Well then I think we should go get some. I'll race ya there!" Harry sets the toddler down who runs to the kitchen as Harry slowly waddles after him with a smile on his face. When he was out of ear shot Lottie and Blake turned the attention to us. "He's gonna make a great dad ya know." Lottie says with Blake nodding at her comment. "He is." Niall says looking off towards the kitchen to see if he can spot the duo. 'Lots, Harry never relaxes unless we quite literally force him to. Is that normal?' I ask her only for Blake to answer my question "Lottie was the same way with Eddie but once she entered her final months of pregnancy she calmed down and was more than happy to take a break." Lottie nods at his statement telling us its completely normal and that we probably won't see Harry slow down till the end of his eighth month because males are pregnant for ten months not nine.
Just as Louis was going to ask his sister another question the doorbell rang again. Harry waddled his way to the door claiming he's got it with Eddie in toe holding a sippy cup. He opens the door and welcomes in the rest of the Tomlinson's. "There are my favorite pair of twins!" Harry exclaimed slowly making his way to the ground to be hugged by the three year olds. We rush over but were too late as he was already on the ground with the three a giggling mess. "Rude!" Phoebe says as her and Daisy mockingly fake their feelings being hurt which only made the trio giggle harder. "Sorry girls but these two were definitely the coolest delivery I've ever assisted." he says blowing kisses to the girls knowing he cant get up to give them real kisses. "We know... we were there. I'm still scarred." Daisy shutters eyes wide as a look of horror was drawn on her face. Harry lets out a laugh before Doris and Ernest go play with their nephew getting off his lap, he looks up at Jay to see her smiling down on him. "Hello gorgeous, like some help up?" she asks with a motherly smile getting a nod from a blushing Harry. We go over to help him up, once he's up he gives us each a kiss in thanks and places his hands on his tummy. "You know I'd do that for you if the roles were reversed." Jay says placing a hand on his tummy smiling widely when she felt them kick. "I know but lets hope it doesn't come down to that." he says as he and Jay make there way towards the kitchen while the rest of us make our way back to the room.
'Hey Lots what did Harry mean by that?' I ask with us only knowing a little about Doris and Ernest birth since we weren't there. "Harry delivered the twins." Phoebe says as if everyone knew. "What I thought you guys were stuck with mom when she went into labour." Louis says looking just as confused as I was. "Who told you guys that?" Daisy asked "Just assumed I guess, you guys didn't tell us much about their birth by being "too grossed out to think about it" to ever walkabout it." Niall fills in making them realize. "Well, if you guys still want to know..." Lottie trails off waiting for us to respond. We nod our heads wanting to know what happened. "Well it started on January 31st..."
Friday January 31st
"Come on Haz you have to stay the night so we can sing happy birthday at midnight together." Daisy and Phoebe beg each holding onto one of his hands. "No buts Harry you know the rule no one celebrates their birthday alone in this family." Jay says waddling into the room with her huge stomach leading the way. He huffs knowing he's not going to win the argument with the heavily pregnant woman as everyone becomes excited grabbing and setting up sleeping bags in the living room for the sleepover.
It was nine o'clock when the first contraction hit her causing her to stop in her tracks and lean against the wall. Having done this three times before she knew what these pains meant. Keeping to herself the rest of the night not wanting to ruin Harrys birthday. But at 11 o'clock the power shut off and Harry went to go see where Jay kept the flashlights. As Harry was about to knock on the door he heard a painful groan coming from the other side. He immediately entered the room knowing what was happening. "Jay, Jay its just me. Where are you?"he speaks softly and calmly not wanting to worry Jay. "H..he..re." she struggled out, Harry made quick way to the bed feeling around it if he could feel her. Touching a foot he lets out a tiny sigh of relief making his way up the bed he sat next to Jay and grabbed her hand to which she squeezed. The contraction coming to an end Harry starts to ask his questions. "Jay how long have you been in labour and how far apart are the contractions?" he asks sweetly knowing from experience to always stay calm when talking to the mother. "Since nine, there about ten minutes apart and my waters have yet to break." just as she says that a warm feeling started to happen in between her legs "Scratch that they just broke." she says with a breathy laugh which gets a smile out of Harry. "Okay, how about we get some sheets and lay them on the ground so we can save the mess." she nods stay in bed as he makes his way into the hallway. Lottie was running up the stairs with three flashlights in her hand all lit "Lottie perfect, I need you to go and grab my hospital bag, boil a pot of water, find me a bowl, and some towels your mums in labour." he tells her grabbing some sheets from the linen closet making his way back into Jays room with two of the flash lights and the sheets while Lottie runs and gets everything he asked for. He lays the sheets down on the floor and surrounds it with pillows before gently helping Jay down onto it. Lottie comes running in with the bowl, towels, and Harrys medical bag setting them down next to him and going behind her mother getting her into a comfortable position. "Jay I'm going to see how dilated you are okay?" getting a nod he spreads her legs and checks announcing she was almost there at eight cm.
An hour of pushing and screaming later Doris was brought into the world followed by Ernest only a few minutes later. After cleaning up the babies with Lotties help and dealing with the afterbirth they watch as Jay lays there holding her new babies. "Can we come in?" Daisy asked from the other side of the closed door. Getting a weak yes from Jay they come in to meet there new little brother and sister. When everyone became acquainted with the twins, Phoebe broke the silence "Happy Birthday Harry." she says. I look over at the clock to see its already two in the morning "Guess your gonna have to share your birthday." Daisy says elbowing him in a teasing way. "That perfectly fine with me." He says glancing at the twins he just help deliver. "You guys know what we have to do now?" Jay says with a smile on her face causing all four of them to jokingly clear their throats. "Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Harry, Doris, and Er-nest. Happy birthday to you!" They all sing softly as Harry is just happy he no longer is alone on his birthday.
"And thats what happened" Lottie concludes leaving us speechless, completely in awe of our boyfriend. "You guys don't realize how much of a badass he is do you?" Daisy asked us with a smirk dancing on her lips. Before we even got a chance to respond Harry and Jay walk back into the family room with Eddie, Doris, and Ernest jumping around behind them. "Dinners ready!" Harry says causing us to stop our discussion and dish up his amazing meals. The night was filled with jokes and laughter as the games unraveled and stories were shared. Harry just sat there quite most of the time just enjoying listening to what everyone else was saying. By the time everyone had to leave Harry was exhausted, walking everyone to the door he wishes them each a goodnight before shutting the door and making his way to the living room. "Harry how about we go get ready for bed?" Zayn suggested getting a nod from the tired boy we lead him upstairs and into the bedroom. Finishing all of our nightly routines we make our way in bed with Harry in the middle of us. "Harry?" Niall asked into the dark room getting a hum in response. "Why did you ever agree to going out with us?"He asked in a hushed tone getting a giggle from the boy "Because I loved you from the moment I laid eyes on you four... why do you ask?" he asks with concern lacing his voice. Louis turned the light on his side on for us to only be met with a confused Harry. "Because your amazing, brave, smart, beautiful, cheeky, kind, caring, charming person that deserves way better than us." Louis supplies for Niall as we all nod in agreement. With Lottie telling us the birth of D&E and all of the Tomlinson's going on about all the amazing things Harry has done we feel pretty insecure. He sits up in bed and rubs the underside of his bump pondering on what we just said. "You boys are all of that and more. I love each of you for so many different reasons and I couldn't even imagine my life without you. I'm so happy to be starting a family with you four, so please don't put yourselves down like this okay?" smiling his breathe taking smile at us. We knew that right now is the time, we all crawl out of the sheets and face him. Niall runs to the drawer and get the small box we've been hiding, "Harry you make us the happiest men alive and we are so lucky to call you ours."(Niall) "You've given us nothing but joy, love and now a family we get to call our own." (Zayn) 'We've loved you since the moment you came into Lotties room and fell harder for you every second thats past since then.'(me) "We know this may not be the most romantic or the way you probably envisioned it but..."(Louis) "Will you make us the happiest men alive and become our husband?" we ask the last bit in unison with Niall popping open the box to reveal the ring. Harry holds his hands up to his mouth completely shocked as tears well up in his eyes nodding his head he gives us the answer we were praying for.
"Yes! Of course I'll marry you!"
