Forever My Father

Chapter Seven

A week or so passes and Zayn has seen Dr. Samuels a total of four times already. Now normally when the boy goes to see him he starts to feel slightly better within the first couple of visits- or he at least begins talking more than before, but this time around feels different. Now Harry doesn't want to admit it, no matter how obvious it is, but Liam sees it and it seriously worries him. Which is why when the following weekend came around Liam decided that since he had a few days off he was gonna take the whole family on a little road trip.

"Haz, Hazza wake up. We gotta get the boys up," Liam says while attempting to shake his husband awake at the ungodly hour of 8:00 AM.

"Leave me 'lone Liam! It's the weekend!" Harry whines why pulling a pillow over his head.

"C'mon I planned a surprise for us, get up and help me get the boys up. I've already packed everyone's bags," Liam says while fully pulling his husband off the mattress and onto the floor. And though he wishes he could hit the smirk right off his husbands face, Harry can't help but smile a bit while pulling himself off the floor and over to the bathroom to rinse his face.

Rather than doing the same thing for the boys, though, Liam decides to just carry them all out- firefighter style- to the car and if they wake up...oh well. It's little struggle for Liam to get the first two boys down to the car, only Louis waking up when Liam accidentally hit his head on the car door. After quickly apologizing, though, Liam makes his way back up the stairs and into the youngest member's room.

Liam gently lifts the boy up, much like he did when he was younger, and begins to carry him down the stairs while on his hip when Zayn begins to shake awake.

"Wha- what's going on?" Zayn yawns out but Liam simply shushes him and tells him to go back to sleep, which Zayn does with ease. After placing Zayn in between both Louis and Niall, he once again goes to enter the house only to have Harry exit with all their bags.

"Wanna tell me where we're going?" Harry asks and all Liam does is smirk.

"Boys wake up, come on boys. Don't you want breakfast?" Harry coos from the side door to the backseat. Louis begins to stir slightly but other than that none of them move to get up. "Wakey, wakey, babies. C'mon or I'll carry you inside and embarrass all of you in front of this group of girls."

And slowly but surely Louis is opening his eyes, followed by Niall with a glare, however, Zayn stays fully asleep.

"Where are we? Why does my head hurt?" Louis asks with a grimace.

"Ask Papa, for now it's time for you to get out of the car and into the hotel," Harry says in a cooing manner while helping his two sons out before climbing into the car to try and coax his nephew up. "C'mon, Zaynie, you gotta get up bud."
"M'tired Uncle Haz, let me sleep," Zayn whines while keeping his eyes shut and head tilted onto Harry's shoulder.

"Fine, have it your way," Harry says before pulling the boy onto his lap and climbing back out of the car. Harry begins to carry the boy into the hotel lobby expecting for him to start complaining and demand to be put down, but to his shock Zayn just just grips onto the man like he used to and attempts to fall back asleep.

With a shocked expression, Harry makes his way back over to Liam who's looking at the two sympathetically while gesturing for them to head to the elevator. They make their way up to the tenth floor and find their room where Harry is quick to put Zayn down on the sofa.

"Zayn can you look at me?" Harry coos while brushing back the boy's hair and slowly Zayn begins to open his eyes. "There are those gorgeous, hazel eyes. Babe, how are you feeling today?" In return Zayn just shakes his head which makes Harry frown and Liam begins to come over.
