thinking bout' you

twenty-two

zayn groans as he gets out of bed. his entire body really hurts from all the work harry's been making him do. harry had been searching for a lot of things to do during pregnancy with your partner and one of them is yoga. now zayn's body just hurt like hell and all he wanted was to sleep and not think about anything that would damage his body even more than it already did.

he looks beside him and sees his husband is still fast asleep. zayn smiles as he gently kisses his cheek before getting out of bed and wincing.zayn heads for the bathroom and decide to take a bath. he runs the water before gently getting into the bath tub. zayn sighs in content as he feels the water shift a bit. zayn smiles as he wraps his arms around him.

"good morning." zayn whispers.

"morning. is your body that sore?" harry frowns.

"im fine darling. just need a little bit of bed rest today. how bout we do nothing today. just chill in bed and watch a bit of tv, yeah?"

"id actually like that. im a bit sore as well. and baby is kicking the hell out of me. by the way, do you wanna know what we're having or do you wanna be surprised?"

"maybe surprised. like i said i don't care what we're having as long as they're healthy."

don't know. obviously don't care myself. but i really hate suspense."

"trust me baby. its okay if you wanna know. its only natural for you to feel this way. whatever you wanna do im by your side my darling." zayn kisses the side of harry's head. "you know i love you right?"

"i know. love you too. more than anything in this world." zayn whispers into his ear. "my forever."

zayn and harry continue to relax in the bath until they finally decided it was time to get out. they get dress and lie in bed before they hear a knock on the door. "are you two decent?" ariana shouts from the other side of the door. zayn playfully rolls his eyes at his daughter. "come on in baby. we're decent."

"what are you two doing?"

"nothing. we decided to just chill in bed. since thankgiving is next week im trying to use as much of my time forgetting about everything that's going to happen when we get down there."

ariana rolls her eyes at the thought. she sits in between her best friend and her dad.

"what are we watching?"

"just family guy."

"sweet! i fucking love family guy." ariana smiles as she lies her head on her dad and her legs on harry.

zayn smiles as he kisses the top of his daughters head and the three continue to watch tv.

after an hour or so ariana fell asleep on her dads shoulder. zayn smiles lovingly at his daughter. he couldn't wait to do this again with harry. the joys of fatherhood always made him feel warm inside.

zayn knew harry was gonna be a great mama to their baby. he also knew he was nervous. but zayn will do everything in his power to show him that he will be an amazing parent.

"is she sleep?" harry whispers.

zayn nods.

"im a little tired myself. but im also very hungry." harry stomach starts to growl.

"wanna order something?"

"mhm. can we get chipotle?"

"anything for you babe." zayn states as he grabs his phone and opens the uber eats app.

"should we be packing?"

zayn frowns as he set his phone down. "for."

"zayn. we leave in two days. might as well get it over with." harry shrugs.

zayn groans as he remembers. he really wasn't looking forward to being around his whole family.

he honestly rather spend the holidays with his husband, daughter, ex wife, and harry's family.

"baby, can we not think about that right now? we'll pack tomorrow i promise. i just—i don't wanna think about everything right now. just wanna chill with you and ari today."

harry sighs understandably.

"i get it. sorry."

"it's okay, darling. food should be here any minute. do you wanna continue watching family guy or something else, love?"

"it's okay. we can continue. im just really hungry."

"i promise you and pumpkin will be fed real soon." zayn smiles lovingly.

soon enough zayn hears the doorbell ring. he gently gets out of bed, heads downstairs, and grabs the food before heading back upstairs.

zayn gently wakes his daughter. "dad. m'tired." ariana groans out.

"baby, got food."

"what did you get?"

"chipotle. got your favorite."

ariana perks up. "smells good." ariana says excitedly.

"don't waste food in my bed." zayn gives her a look. ariana rolls her eyes. "im not five dad. promise i won't waste any food. now can you hand me my food please?"

zayn chuckles as he hands her the bowl and harry his as well.

"eat up my three babies." zayn smiles widely.

ariana was already making herself a burrito before taking a bite.

she moans. "this is so fucking good. needed this."

"i bet." zayn states.

the three continues to eat their food as they all watch family guy. zayn phone goes off moments later. he looks at the caller id before stepping out.

"what's going on, john?"

"its um—we-"

"spit it out."

"cris and i were just messing around and we kinda screwed up the prototype."

zayn groans. "what do you mean messing around."

"well we—i—we were just trying to test it out and-and it just combusted and—we swear it wasn't on purpose."

"ill be there tomorrow morning to try and fix this. until then i want you both out of the building. ill figure out if you're fired or not later." zayn ended the call and groans angrily. he had been working on this project for months. he finally had it perfect and these dumbasses fucked it up.

harry walks out of the room and frowns. he rubs his stomach as he kisses his husbands back.

"what's going on babe?"

"nothing. just some dumbasses fucking around in the office. ill deal with it tomorrow. right now i just wanna focus on the three of you." zayn turns and kisses harry passionately.

"im sure they didn't mean to. just—give em' another chance okay? people fuck up all the time, yeah?"

zayn sighs. "yeah. you always know what to say." zayn smiles as he kisses him passionately.

"come on before ari eats all our food." zayn grabs his hand as they head back into the room.
