Dates, Dreams and Diapers

Chapter 10

Liam's POV

I watch with pure adoration as Niall cooks over a hot stove in the early hours of the morning, and while we both stayed up late last night with the celebration of Niall standing Management up, I don't regret it.

"Close your mouth Li-li or you'll catch flies." Niall giggles while he finishes with the bacon and starts with the eggs. He's cooking for a full house today as it will not only be our parents joining us but Harry, Zayn and Louis. Now because of my fussing nature and Niall's good heart, we didn't want the boys driving back to their flat in the late hours of the night. So we offered them a place to sleep for the night.

"Good morning." I look to the entrance to see a very groggy Harry walk into the kitchen and over to the dining table where I am.

"Morning." Niall and I reply as Harry then takes a seat in one of the three chairs along the length of the table, laying his head sleepily on the table. Harry was not so quiet last night when Niall tried to pair up Louis and Harry sleeping in a room together, the room did have a set of twin beds, but I guess the both of them are still sore from that fight they had. As a result of that, Harry decided to bunk with me and Niall, though I will say that it was not as intimate as I'd like it to be when it's just me and Niall.

Not a minute after Harry laid his head down, did Molly come scampering into the room and gave Harry a little hit on the head.

"Ow, don't hit me." Harry whined as Molly gave him another with her soft paws. What happened next really amazed me. Molly then held down Harry's head but let go to reach into his mess of curls head first. It's looked physically impossible but I saw how half of her body disappear and struggle to pull something out of that jungle of hair. When Molly resurfaced, I saw that Lolly was being pulled out by the scruff of his neck. The orange-colored kitten then gave Harry a paw of his own and then ran of with his mother. All I did was stare shocked the entire time, doubting anyone would believe me if I told them this.

"Breakfast is ready!" Niall called and was met by a few pairs of feet descending the stairs. When my mom and dad, Zayn, Louis and Maura walked into the kitchen, everyone looked tired and wanting to go back to sleep. Well maybe except Jack who fell asleep a little while after the party started.

The party last night was not really a big event, but everyone was in the mood for a lot of good food and a few games. Niall forbids alcohol in the house now and I can honestly agree with that, but regardless everyone had a blast watching movies, board games, talking or simply enjoying a nice display of foods.

"I think you'll have to come to the next family gathering Niall, you cook like a five-star chef." My mom complemented while I got up and helped serve the food.

"Well I learned from the best." Niall says just before giving his mom a kiss on the cheek and going on to place down plates of eggs, bacon and potato-patties. He also made alternatives for people like a large bowl of cut fruits or stacks of pancakes.

"Oh, you'll have to come too Harry." My mom adds when everyone starts to dig in. Harry nods sheepishly to my mother but I wonder how Jack will take to Niall's cooking when he gets older.

-------------------------------------------

"Okay, well just make sure to call when you guys get home, please don't forget."

"Please Karen and Geoff, you know how Liam gets when he worries." Niall teases while my parents gather the last of their bags and stand by the door along with Maura to drop her off at the airport and go home as well.

"Stop fussing Liam, we'll be fine." My mom exclaims before pulling me into a hug and whispering.

"Take good care of them Liam, they're your world now. I don't think I have to remind you that, but just to make sure ya know?"
