Niall didn't really understand why there were those huge orange balls in the garden, nor why was Liam so excited about it. From the living room, where he was playing with his little cars, he looked at them with a curious look. Harry had brought it in the morning, and it looked quite heavy.
Louis came to get Niall and brought him in the garden, where Liam et Harry were already. Liam had put his hands on one of the big orange balls, saying it was his.
Louis noticed Niall's confused look and knelt down beside him.
« Those are pumpkin, sweetheart. We're going to empty them and carve some faces in it. It's for Halloween !
- 'Loween ?
- It's today. - Louis nodded. - We have to wear some scary costumes, and tonight we'll go in the neighborhood to get candies ! » - Louis explained joyfully, taking Niall in his arms and bouncing him gently.
The little boy didn't understand at all, but Louis talked about candies. And if there were candies, then Halloween was about to become his favorite day.
They all kneeled down, each in front of a pumpkin, that Harry had just opened from the top. Niall pulled a face when Harry started emptying his pumpkin. He brought the spoonful of pumpkin closer to Niall, who screamed out of disgust and stepped back.
He watched them empty their pumpkins and talk about their costumes and scary makeup they wanted to do for a while, before he walked away, bored, and went to the slide, a couple feet away.
When he came back, tired and thirsty because he played for a whole hour, he saw some really scary faces carved in the pumpkins. Harry carried them back to the front door and put them on the porch, admiring their work proudly.
A few hours later, during the evening, Niall was drifting off on the couch, lying on his stomach, bum in the air, thumb in his mouth and cuddling his stuffie. Louis smiled when he saw him. He was so adorable.
Harry came down the stairs, holding something behind his back and signaled Louis to stay quiet. He entered the living room, walked to the couch and jumped near Niall, holding the scary mask he was hiding.
« Boo ! » - he exclaimed.
Niall jumped, and he froze for a split second before starting to scream. Louis was fast to carry him, rocking him gently to calm him down, chuckling. Harry removed the mask, smiling.
« It's Dada, look ! »
Niall wasn't crying, but he was whining just because, even tho Louis could see he was trying to hide a smile by shoving his face in Louis' neck. Liam then ran into the living room, wearing a Batman costume. His cloak was a bit too big and kind of sweeping the floor, but he looked so happy.
Niall looked at him with huge eyes, amazed. Compared to him, Liam was so cool and big in Niall's eyes, he really looked up to him.
Harry brought another costume for Niall, containing a black cloak, just like Liam's one, a black button up and black trousers. Niall was going to be a vampire !
Niall refused to go to Harry, still upset that he pulled a joke on him earlier. So Louis was in charge of dressing Niall in his costume and changing his diaper. He then took Niall on his lap to tie the cloak around his neck. As soon as Louis said it was done, Niall ran to the mirror to see himself, spinning while holding the cloak, smiling big. He was just as cool as Liam now !
Then, to Niall's surprise, they went outside in the neighborhood. There were so many children running around and wearing costumes. It was already a bit dark outside, so Niall didn't let go of Louis' hand.
They knocked on the first door, which was decorated with a huge spider web -Louis had to explain to Niall that it was fake because Niall refused to walk closer when he saw it-. A lady wearing a which hat opened the door, faked a scream and handed them some candy to put in their little bucket.
Niall couldn't believe it. They went to knocked on their neighbors' door and they got candies in exchange ! He definitely needed to do that more often !
It went on for more than a hour. It was pitch black when they knocked on the last door and got their last pieces of candy. Louis was carrying Niall because the little vampire was exhausted from their long night of walking. Liam in another hand, was thrilled, and he couldn't stop looking at his bucket, full of candies to the very top.
They finally went back home, took their costumes off to put on some confortable pajamas.
« What about trading your candies, boys ? »
Liam looked at his dad curiously. He's never done that before.
« You give those you don't like to Niall, and in exchange Niall gives you what he doesn't like. How does that sound ? »
Liam thought about it for a second before nodding enthusiastically. It sounded amazing, actually, if that meant he could get rid of everything he didn't like to get things he liked instead.
He emptied his bucket on the living room table. Louis sat Niall down on his lap and emptied the little boy's bucket too, on the other side of the table. Niall was already sucking on his thumb, his head down on Louis' shoulder, ready to go to sleep.
They traded their candies and Liam was the happiest with the deals. All of this, just for him ! Although he was allowed to eat only two candies for now, before going to brush his teeth.
Louis got a bottle ready and brought Niall to his room to change his diaper. He put him down on the changing table slowly, took his pants off and looked at the sweet little boy, who was already falling asleep. Louis gently tickled his sides to wake him up.
« Sleepy, baby ? - Niall nodded.
- Candies... - he mumbled.
- Yes ! You guys got tons of candies, didn't you ?
- Again, tomorrow.
- No, sweetie. - Louis chuckled. - It's only for Halloween, once a year. Okay ? »
Niall pouted, disappointed. Louis finished putting baby powder on Niall legs and parts, closing the diaper and put his pajamas pants back on. It was a white pajama with little yellow stars all over it, Niall loved it but he barely noticed it as he was too tired.
Louis carried him to the armchair, shaking the bottle. He slid the nipple in between Niall's lips, and the boy immediately sucked on it. Louis loved these moments so much. Niall was calm, relaxed, and the little noises he let out while drinking was the sweetest thing. He always locked his eyes with Louis', and Louis himself found it very relaxing.
He finished his bottle in a few minutes, half asleep in Louis' arms. Louis tried to put him in his bed, but Niall woke up instantly, clinging to Louis like crazy.
« No ! No, no ni ni !
- Yes night-night baby, you're very tired.
- With Papa... Scary. »
Louis gave up quickly. He suspected that Harry really did scare him with his mask, earlier. He didn't want his little boy to have a nightmare anyways.
Harry was playing a board game with Liam in the boy's room, so Louis went to kiss them goodnight and took Niall to his and Harry's room. He got in the bed, keeping Niall close to his chest, and they fell asleep in a few minutes, soothed by each other's presence.
