Harry had spent weeks meticulously planning the joint birthday party for Arlo and Zayn.
He wanted everything to be perfect, not just for Arlo's second birthday, but also for Zayn, who was turning 26. The house was decorated with a mix of Bluey-themed decorations for Arlo and Harry Potter-themed accents for Zayn.
Harry had spared no expense, ensuring that this day would be memorable for everyone, especially their family.
Harry's mother, Anne, and his sister, Gemma, were among the first to arrive, followed by Zayn's parents, Yaser and Trisha, along with his sisters Doniya, Waliyha, and Safaa. The house was soon filled with laughter and chatter as friends and family mingled. Niall and Michael joined the gathering, bringing their infectious energy and good spirits.
The living room was a sight to behold, with balloons, streamers, and a large table laden with food and drinks.
Harry flitted about, making sure everyone was comfortable, his heart swelling with pride as he saw Zayn's family and his own blending together so seamlessly.
Zayn, carrying Arlo on his hip, greeted each guest with a broad smile. He was overjoyed to be celebrating his birthday with his son for the first time and couldn't wait to share the day with the people he loved most. Arlo seemed to sense the excitement, his wide eyes taking in all the colors and sounds.
"Happy birthday, my boys!" Anne exclaimed, hugging Zayn and ruffling Arlo's hair.
"Thanks, Anne," Zayn replied, his eyes shining. "We're so happy you're all here."
As the guests continued to arrive, Harry felt a mix of excitement and anxiety. He wanted everything to go smoothly, and the pressure of hosting such an important event was starting to weigh on him. Despite his nerves, he kept a smile on his face, determined to make this day perfect.
The exchange of gifts was a highlight of the party. Each family member had brought something special for Arlo and Zayn. Gemma had found a beautiful set of building blocks for Arlo and a rare Harry Potter collectible for Zayn. Anne gifted Arlo a handmade quilt, lovingly stitched with his name, and Zayn received a personalized leather journal.
Niall and Michael's gifts were more playful. Niall had brought a toy drum set for Arlo, much to Harry's dismay, while Michael handed Zayn a gift bag with a mischievous glint in his eye.
Zayn's eyes widened in surprise as he peeked inside and quickly closed the bag, he glanced at the note attached that read, "Don't need candles and cake just need Harry's body tomake good... BIRTHDAY SEX 😉"
Zayn's cheeks turned a deep shade of red and internally cursed Micahel for his anticts.
"What's in there?" Harry whispered, curious about Michael's gift.
Zayn chuckled awkwardly. "Nothing for public viewing," he said, glancing at Michael, who was grinning ear to ear.
As the party progressed, Harry felt a wave of warmth and pride. The room was filled with laughter, the sound of Arlo's delighted giggles, and the sight of Zayn beaming as he interacted with his family. It was everything Harry had hoped for.
