First [Book 2]✅

Twenty-one

Waking up with Louis' arms around his waist, head on shoulder, and Aiden sprawled out on his chest, was one of the best things ever, Harry decided. He couldn't help but smile, and tighten his grip on the small boy.

"This is perfect," he looked to the side at Louis, who had a lazy smile on his face with his eyes closed.

"He's so cute," Louis whispered, apparently being awake as well.

Harry whispered, "I know," he smiled, gazing down at the small boy. He looked to the side, sighing when seeing that it was already ten in the morning. "What do we do with him?" he asked quietly, "should we leave him in here to sleep or wake him up?"

Louis sat up a bit, "Take him with you. You don't have to wake him up but carry him out to the kitchen with us. That's what Mum and I always did with the twins when they were little," he spoke.

Harry went to sit up slowly, but stopped when Aiden stirred in his arms only to go back to sleep.

The two went out into the kitchen, Harry holding a sleeping Aiden in his arms as he sat on one of the stools at the counter. The boy kept squirming in his arms in his sleep before settling down again.

Louis cooked up something easy, pancakes, wanting the boy to have a good first breakfast with them. The two men couldn't help but be totally estatic about their new member even in their sleepy minded states.

Suddenly, though, they heard two familiar voices float through the house, and smiled when Liam and Niall pranced into the kitchen. "Hey, guys! We- who is that?" Niall interrupted himself, slightly pointing at Aiden with a confused face.

Liam looked at the kid with a smile, "Aw, he's so cute," he said.

Niall gasped, his hand flying to Liam's stomach. The older man groaned. "Did you guys... you said you wanted to adopt... he isn't..."

"He is," Harry said, a smirk hidden in his smile.

Niall gasped, awing when the small boy squirmed, and fluttered his eyes open. He fixed the position of his head on Harry's shoulder, and tucked his arms up against his chest, grabbing at his tshirt. He mumbled something inaudible, and smiled lazily when seeing the two new members in the kitchen, before tucking his head away in Harry's chest to hide.

"Don't know dem," he whispered.

Harry couldn't help but grin. "This is Uncle Niall and Uncle Liam," Louis spoke after turning the stove off. He went and sat next to his husband and brushed a stray lock of hair out of the boys face.

"Till don't know dem," he smiled.

Harry chuckled, patting his back, "How about we meet them, then?" he asked, nodding when Aiden gave a small nod.

"Tell them your name, bub," Louis told him.

Aiden looked curiously at the two. "Aiden," he chirped, starting to perk up from sleep.

"Now, Aiden. This is Uncle Niall, and Uncle Liam," Louis said, "see? Now you met them and now we know them," he smiled.

"Otay," Aiden murmured, still wearing a smile.

"Do you want pancakes?" Harry asked as the two other men talked a tiny bit about the kid and got what they had left two night before, Niall's phone. They left soon enough, and Louis joined them once again.

It was around dinner time when Harry and Louis decided to let Harry's side of the family come over. Start out small.

They had announced to be almost there when Harry had come rushing out from Aiden's room, leaning down with his hand in the smaller boys hand, Louis trailing in front. Harry had been listening, but somehow missed out on Aiden trying to get his attention once they got to the kitchen.

Aiden stopped short and dropped his hand. "Uh, uh, D-Dahey!" he exclaimed, but then questioned the name ,"ya?"

Harry was gaping, surprised that in only a day he had realized who his parents where and that he was his Dad. He would've thought it would take him a while to get used to the name. On the other hand he was bursting with joy.

"Y-Yes! Yes!" he assured, laughing as he picked Aiden up. "Yeah. That's me," he said softly before looking to Louis. "And who is this?" he asked, pointing to Louis, who turned around.

"Dats.... uh.. Dad too?"

Louis' eyes widened, "Oh my god, yeah! That's me! I'm Dad!" he grinned, and went and took him into his own arms, ticking his tummy only to get a fit of giggles in return. Aiden's arms latched tightly around Louis' neck just as they heard the door bell ring.

The boy gasped, and turned his head towards where the sound had come from. Louis rushed to the door, and swung it open to reveal Anne, Gemma, and Robin. Instantly, their gazed drifted towards Aiden, but no one said anything about it, and entered the house with big smiles.

"Hiiiiii!" Aiden drawled out, waving at the new guests.

"Hi, love!" Gemma smiled brightly at him, "what's your name?" she asked despite already knowing.

"Aiden," he mumbled a bit, not totally sure of the woman in front of him.

Gemma glanced up at Louis, who was beaming at the boy. "Nice to meet you, Aiden. Can I have a high five?" she asked, hoping he'd say yes. Though he just blushed and turned his head to dig his body into the crook of Louis' neck.

Meanwhile, Harry had been engaged in a conversation with his parents.

"He looks precious," Anne gushed, grinning as she took a look at where her son in law held her new grandson.

Harry sighed, a thoughtful smile on his face. "He is. We only got him two days ago and he already seems so comfortable with us. All three of us went out yesterday and bought him things, clothes and toys and such. Stuff for his room too, but still hasn't slept in there on his own. He's been sleeping with us," he scrunched his nose in glee. You could see his dimples indenting his cheeks the more his smile grew.

"He's obviously okay with having two dads. Has he really like realized that you're his parents, though?" Robin asked, raising his eyebrows.

Harry blushed, shrugging, "Just before you came, actually, he called me Daddy and Louis Dad. He was trying to get my attention and called me it, then I asked who Louis was and he said 'Dad too'," he told them. He pushed himself off from leaning on the counter when seeing the other three coming over to them. He didn't get to see the way Anne cooed at what he said and how she smiled lovingly at her husband.

"Can, uh, can I stand, on here?" Aiden asked, giving a goofy grin to his fathers. He had the one hand that could reach, placed on the marble countertop.

"You can sit on it. And only for a minute," Harry told him, grabbing onto his arm when Louis carefully set him onto the counter. Aiden let out a laugh, and sat happily on it.

It was only a couple of minutes before the toddler gasped, looking around at everyone. "Truck!" he exclaimed, "my truck!" he repeated. He went to try and get off and quickly realized that it was too far of a drop for his tiny figure. So, he patted Gemma's arm, grabbing at her wrist. "Can you hold me?" he asked her, to which she happily nodded with a big smile and picked him up, setting him on her hip.

"You wanna show me where you're truck is?" she asked with raised eyebrows. Soon enough they were off to the living room, searching for Aiden's favorite toy at the moment.

Harry had been watching his sister and sons conversation, and loved how they managed to quickly get along.

Louis must've seen it too, since during his conversation with Robin he wrapped an arm around Harry's waist, and leant his head on Harry's arm as if to say; this is what I want.
