Paper Hearts (Book Five)

Chapter Thirty-Five

Chapter Thirty-Five

Hold on tight,

This ride is a wild one,

Make no mistake,

The day will come when you can't cover up what you've done

"So.... How are you guys?" I started, shifting in my seat uncomfortably as Zayn and Liam continued to glare at me. I didn't really get what their problems was, it wasn't like we had dropped the kids off and left. I was sitting next to Niall who was bouncing Audrey on his knee, she was a giggling mess so I really didn't get how Liam and Zayn could be in such bad moods.

I mean I got why Liam was.

He was always in a bad mood.

But now that he's pregnant.... He hates me more than usual.

I didn't know what Zayn's problem was. Maybe he was just grumpy cause Liam was.

That's probably what it was.

Dammit.

"How's the pregnancy going Liam?" Niall asked, smiling at Liam. Liam finally stopped glaring, a soft smile on his face. He was pretty much glowing now as he looked down at his somewhat large stomach. There was no doubt he was pregnant, that was for sure.

"So far it's been good so far, I can honestly say that I'm enjoying every second of it... I forgot what it felt like." Liam said, turning to look at Zayn who was smiling too. Zayn's hand rested on Liam's stomach, the two of them seemed to be genuinely happy.... I was glad that Liam was finally happy again.

"I'm really happy for you guys. Have you found out what you're having yet?" Niall looked back at Audrey who was letting off yet another string of giggles, she was hanging upside down now, grinning at Zayn who wasn't really paying attention.

"We're gonna have a girl." Zayn spoke this time, admiration and love in his eyes as he looked at Liam. It was then that Jemma came running into the room, a pout on her face as she stopped in front of Niall and I.

"Daddy, A.J. will not let me play." She said, crossing her arms over her chest as she pouted. I sighed dramtically, really not in the mood to go deal with the situation. I knew that A.J. would get defensive, resulting in a very grumpy six year old and upset three year old. Jemma looked away from me before walking over to Zayn.

"Uncle Zee, you play with me?" She asked, giving Zayn the classic puppy dog eyes that made the coldest of people melt. Zayn looked away from Liam, a smile on his face.

"Sure thing princess." Zayn said, ruffling her hair as she grinned. Jemma looked at Liam after that, her eyes growing comically large as she saw Liam's stomach.

"Uncle Li, you eat baby?!" She gasped, earning confused looks from everyone in the room. Niall and I both looked at her nervously though, mainly due to the fact that we had yet to tell anyone about the new babies besides the kids.

"What?" Liam looked at her surprised, not really sure what she meant by that.

"You ate baby? You ate baby like Mummy?" She asked again, looking at Liam for comfrimation. Liam and Zayn both looked at us in that moment, eyebrows raised....

"Surprise?" Niall and I both said, I chuckled nervously as Liam and Zayn continued to stare at us.

"Here Jemma... Let's go play." Zayn said after a minute, grabbing her hand and walking out of the room. Once they were out of sight, Liam shook his head at us.

"Do you guys not know what a condom is for?" Liam asked slowly, almost as if he was talking to a child. Niall and I both shrugged, knowing that whatever Liam said it didn't really matter...

He didn't have control over our lives.

He wasn't our dad.

"It's what you use to prevent pregnancy. We know Liam, we've gone through the sex talk before." I said, earning a smack from Niall who was still holding Audrey.

"Good. Now please tell me why the hell you don't use one?" Liam arched his eyebrows, shaking his head.

"Shit happens Li, but we really don't need you tell us how to live our life... Sure it wasn't planned, but let's be honest.... How many of your kids have been planned?" I smirked when Liam glared at me, I knew I had won this argument.

"How many this time?" Liam groaned, leaning back on the couch as we waited for my answer. Niall bit his bottom lip nervously, almost like he was expecting Liam to blow up on him. I didn't really understand the relationship between my husband and Liam... sometimes it felt like they were best friends, other times it felt the complete opposite.

"Twins... Again." Niall whispered.

"Dammit... that means I lost." Liam sighed, shaking his head. Niall smiled after that, obviously liking the fact that Liam hadn't really gotten mad.

But it wasn't in his place to get mad.

We spent a few more hours at the Payne-Malik house before we finally decided it was time to go home. When we finally did get home, two out of the four kids were fast asleep in their carseats. I helped Niall take them upstairs to their beds, smiling softly at them as they slept. Niall sighed, grabbing my hand as we walked out of the room.

"I love you." He said quietly, kissing my cheek softly.

"And I love you too... More than anything else in the world."

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

I'm not very good with staying on hiatus lol.

I've been doing a lot of prewriting though.

I've also been prewriting the AJ spin off lol. I've found I would rather write that than this which is not good lol.

I'm really excited for it though.

I hope you guys will enjoy it as much as I do :)

I also gave up on the character ask, mainly due to the fact it was forever ago. What I'm gonna do though is that at the end of this book I'll do another one and yeah...

That's it
