"Thank you for taking us out to dinner, Harry." Waliyah thanked the brunette before making her way upstairs to change.
When everyone had gone upstairs, Harry slipped off his shoes and pulled out his laptop to answer emails. He must have lost track of time because when he checked his phone, it was around 1 am. He closed his laptop and quietly made his way upstairs. The brunette stripped down to just his boxers and slid into bed next to Zain.

"Where were you?" Zain asked groggily.

"Working." Harry said quietly. "Go back to sleep babe."
Zain obliged without argue, falling back asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Harry stuffed a pillow between his legs and laid down next to Zain, breathing in his scent, before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

The next morning, Zain woke to a still-sleeping Harry. He kissed the brunette's curls and got up to cook everyone breakfast.
Safaa and Waliyah were already downstairs and conversing with each other when Zain made his way to the bottom of the stairs.

"Good morning," Zain greeted the girls.

"Zain," Safaa said as she walked over to him. "Do you have any ultrasound pictures from this pregnancy? Can I see them?"

Zain nodded and opened the drawer in the kitchen where they kept their junk. He rummaged through it and pulled out the ultrasound of the twins, and a few of Darcy's ultrasounds. "Here's some of Darcy if you want to see those as well."

Safaa carefully took the ultrasounds from Zain and looked over them. "He's having twins?!"

"Um," Zain shrugged. "Not... not really."

"What does that mean?"

"He lost one of the twins," Zain explained. "He's fine now, though. Luckily."

"Oh." Was all Safaa could say. She continued to look at the ultrasound pictures. "Do you have any names?"

"For girls." Zain said. "Haven't though of boys yet."

"What does Harry want?"

"A girl." Zain chuckled.

"Speaking of which, where is Harry?" Safaa asked curiously.

"He's asleep."

"Still?"

"I guess." Zain shrugged. "He didn't go to sleep until around 1 am. Or something like that."

"Why?" Safaa furrowed her brows.

"Work." Zain said as he scrambled the eggs. "He's working almost all of the time. You girls being here is truly a break for him."

"What about you?"

"I work most of the time too."

"When are you going to release your debut album?"

"Soon. I'm almost done with the songs." Zain reassured his sister, casting her a small smile. "We're supposed to go into the studio today. You should come."

"Really?" Safaa asked excitedly. "Great! Because Doniya and Waliyah wanted to go shopping."

"You didn't?"
