Niall was sitting on his king sized bed, Harry in between his legs and kicking his feet tiredly. "Keep still Haz."

Harry nodded his head having woken up from his nap five minutes prior, his clothes ruffled and messy.

It was already five pm. Niall smiled to himself knowing his fiancé would be home any minute.

Niall had Harry from a previous girlfriend and he knew it'd be close to impossible to find another person who'd accept it so easily. But then he met Louis when Harry had toddled away from him when he was at the bank.

Louis was wonderful and only six months later he moved in. A year in Louis promised to take care of them, allowing Niall to quit his job as a waiter. Two years in and Louis proposed. Niall had never been happier and Harry loved him which was always an important factor considering he was the most important thing to happen to him. The wedding date wasn't for another year though which was always good in case either of them weren't committed.

Niall ran a brush through Harry's thick yet beautiful chocolate brown curls.

"I’m tired daddy." The five year old complained.

Louis sighed heavily as he put his key in the lock and opened the door to his fiancé's flat. It had been a rough day at work and he was tired and just wanted to sleep.

He stepped into the living room, nearly tripping and falling over a number of toys, and loosened his tie. He couldn't hear his boys anywhere.

"Niall? Harry? Are you boys home?"

"In here, babe!"

Niall called running the teeth of a comb through a particularly rough ringlet.

"Ow!" Harry cried out tiredly. He glared at the transformer toy that was loosely clasped in one small fist.

Niall apologized but continued on. He smiled at the voice of his lover floating down the corridor.

Louis headed towards the bedroom where Niall's voice had sounded from and stepped in to see his love and his soon-to-be-step-son on the bed.

"Hey, darling." He finished taking off his tie and dropped it on his dresser before collapsing on bed next to his family.

"Have a good day then, Harry? Did daddy and you have lots of fun and play together?" He propped himself up so that he could see the small boy.

Harry smiled and climbed out of Niall's lap to lie next to the man. "It was amazing! Daddy bought me a backpack for when I start school!"

Niall nodded and stretched out across the bed.  "He needed one. He's starting in two weeks." He ran his fingers through the now untangled curls. He leaned over and kissed his childish jaw.

Niall then carefully leaned over and kissed Louis on the lips softly before he settled back.

Louis smiled as Niall kissed him. "You're starting school? My you're such a big boy! Soon you won't even need daddy and me!"

Louis sighed dramatically and started to tickle at the boy's sides wanting to hear he brilliant giggles.

Harry wiggled his hips trying to squirm away from him. Beautiful laughs and giggles escaped his parted lips, trying to get away. His arm swung around, toy in the air.

Louis laughed along with his family before finally stopping his tickle assault on Harry. He leaned down and pecked the boy on his nose.

"What do you want for dinner, boys? I can make pasta or pasta or pasta."

Niall also laughed at Louis. His pale slender fingers caressing his cheek. "Hm such a hard decision. Pasta it is."

"Perfect! Harry, let me see your backpack before I go make dinner. I bet it'll be the greatest backpack in the school.”
