Way Of Life - H.S & N.H

You Say

It's a good job the restaurant had given them a table far from other diners because there would've been lots of complaints.
The table was alive with laughter and chatter between everyone.

Lambert sat with Haley on one knee and Isla squished onto the other. Lambert's partner couldn't make the dinner but promised he'd be at the next one. Lamby bounced the two girls and down to the music that played.

Gus was stood on his chair to which both Niall and Heather had told him not to do. Many, many times.

"Gus! How many times? Get down!" Niall scolded him once again.

Gus cheekily smiled before eventually getting down again.

"She okay?" Shay asked Harry as he held Sienna.

"She's out cold. Too much excitement I think." Harry cooed. He lifted his finger and gently booped her nose before getting up to lay her down in the pushchair.

"So any gossip for Uncle Lamby girls? Any boys on the scene? Or girls? Or whoever actually?" Lambert clapped excitedly as he spoke to Isla and Haley.

"Yeah there's this boy Levi..." Haley began to speak but Harry cut her off.

"Nope. None of that until your eighteen missy!"

"Daddy!" Haley cheekily smiled but covered her face in embarrassment.

"Scratch that! Until your twenty-one! You hear me?" Harry pointed at her but had the cheekiest smile on his face.

"Don't listen to him Pally. You can like whoever you want to. Uncle Lamby will back you up! We can take him." He held his fists up, gesturing that he'd fight Harry if needed.

Haley joined in, holding up her own fists. Even Isla joined in.

"Woah woah okay. No need for that. I'll back off. You win. You win!" The girls had now scrambled off of Lambert's lap and ran over to Harry to playfully punch him.
He winced and whined as they did so but his own laughter was mixed in.

Eventually they backed off though. Much to Harry's relief.

"On a more serious note, how're things now H? How's the therapy going?" Niall asked his former band mate before taking a sip of his water. He was driving so couldn't drink.

"Not too bad. Taking it as it comes. Some days are better than others." Harry replied as he picked up Isla and tickled her.

"That's all you can do man. Proud of you though." Niall continued with a smile.

"Thanks Niall. I'm proud of you too."

"Ugh enough of this sappy cr..." Lamby began to speak but remembered the kids were around so couldn't use the word he'd planned to.

"Go on..." Shay giggled.

"Crud. Sappy Crud."

"Nice save." Heather giggled too.

They continued to talk, drink and eat. Catching up on each other's lives and gossip. The kids all eventually lost their energy and were fast asleep in the pushchairs or on someone's lap.

"Woah we better start making a move. It's getting kinda late." Shay glanced at the time on her phone.

"True. These kids need their beds." Niall chuckled as he looked over at the kids

"I also need my bed." Harry yawned.

"You are such a Grandpa." Shay chuckled as she gathered all the plates and glasses together.

Lambert had very kindly offered to pay for the meal, to which everyone argued over for a solid five minutes. They eventually gave in.

Everyone gathered their coats and began making their way out of the restaurant. Thanking the staff on the way out.
