Dan woke up to the sound of crying, which wasn’t an uncommon sound in the Devine household. Niall was a crier. He pulled himself out of the warm bed reluctantly throwing a glance towards his husband and sighing. Of course, he wouldn’t get up. Making his way out of the room and down the hallway; he reached Niall’s room reaching a hand out to the door knob and was ready to open the door when he stopped, eyebrows raised in confusion, was the crying coming from Liam and Zayn’s room. He rushed down the hall now because Liam nor Zayn ever cried.. well not usually that is.
He threw the door opened, eyes searching frantically around the room, his heart clenched when he saw Zayn. The five year old was saton the bed, holding his stomach with tears dripping off his black lashes.
“Oh baby, c’mere.” Dan cooed, racing over to the distressed child, he gathered the boy in his arms, “What hurts honey?” He asked softly even though he could already guess the answer by the way his baby was holding his stomach.
Zayn blinked a few more tears from his eyes, “My tummy.” He pouted, clutching Dan’s t-shirt tightly. Dan shushed him, rocking slightly.
“It’s okay, we’ll get you some medicine and then you can snuggle with Daddy and Papa for the day. How about that?” Dan offered.
Zayn gave a sad nod, resting his head into the crook of Dan’s neck. Dan sighed slightly, he hated seeing any of his baby’s sick but he knew that it couldn’t be help. All he could do was make sure that they were a comfortable as possible.
Dan looked up when he heard the creek of the door opening, standing in the doorway was Josh holding a sleepy Niall. “Hey babe, everything all right in here?” He asked, hitching Niall further up his hip.
“Yeah, yeah. Zayn’s just feeling a little sick, that’s all.” Dan reassured his husband, he knew how worked up Josh could get over the smallest things.
Just then, they heard a rustling coming from the other side of the room, Liam’s head pocking out from the top of the cocoon of blanket. He grinned sleepily up at them and Dan tried to refrain himself from cooing at the adorable boy because that would not be appropriate with a sick Zayn in his arms.
“Hey there buddy.” Josh greeted, “Wanna come and get some breakfast with me and Nialler. You can even wake up Haz and Lou for me.” Liam let out an excited squeal, causing Zayn to groan, before jumping out of the bed and rushing down the hall, giggling all the way. Josh and Dan both rolled their eyes fondly before Josh made his way after him while Dan thanked him silently in his head.
Dan turned his attention back to the boy in his arms, who seemed to be drifting off. “Do you want to get some breakfast to or do you just want to watch some telly?” Dan asked softly, already standing up with the sickly boy in his arms. Zayn let out a pained moan at the thought of food so Dan took that as a no. “T.V it is then.” Dan chuckled.
He carried the boy down the stairs where he was greeted with the normal morning chatter and screams. He walked into the sitting room and placed the sick boy on the couch, running up stairs to get him some blankets. When he got back down stairs, made his way over to Zayn, and wrapped him up tightly.
“Just give me a shout if you need anything, okay? I’m just going in to get you some medicine and help Papa out a bit.” Dan said as he pressed a kiss to his feverish forehead.
Zayn gave a pitiful nod of his head, snuggling into his blankets and closing his eyes.
Dan made his way out of the sitting room and into the kitchen, he laughed under his breath at the site before him.
Placed in his high chair was Harry, who seemed to have made a fairly large mess with the breakfast Josh had foolishly given him. Next to him was Louis, who face was cover in milk and coco pops. How he had managed that, Dan will never know. Dan turned his attention to Josh, who had Niall in his arms and was feeding him a bottle. “Need some help love?” Dan asked teasingly.
Josh looked up at him pleadingly, “Please.” He gasped. Dan shook his head fondly, moving towards Harry, picking up a pack of baby wipes on his way.
“Oh sweetie, what’s happened to you?” Dan asked as he began to wipe down Harry’s face. “I sticky.” Harry yelled happily. Dan laughed, picking up one of Harry’s tiny hands, “I can see that pumpkin.” Dan shook his head again.
Dan continued to wash down Harry, who was giggling and the time. Once he had finished he moved onto Louis, who apparently gotten bored of eating and has now moved onto making a bigger mess with his cereal. “Get over here cheeky and let me clean you up.” Dan said, holding his arms opened. Louis squealed and ran over; jumping into Dan’s outstretched arms. Dan proceeded to wipe down a squirming Louis and let him go once he was done.
Dan laughed as he watched Louis run up to his room, shouting something about power rangers. He looked around the room, noticing that Liam was nowhere to be seen. “Josh? Where is Li?” He asked, glancing over to his husband who was now bouncing a giggling Niall on his shoulder. “Don’t do that, you’ll make him sick.” He added.
Josh rolled his eyes, placing Niall on his hip and looking around the room himself. “I.. don’t know. He was here when I came down, he must’ve ran off.” He frowned.
Dan sighed, “I’ll find him in a sec. I just need to give Zayn some medicine.” He went over to the cabinet, pulling out some Nurofen: for kids! He when to the draw, taking out the medicine spoon and made his way back into the sitting room
Curled up together on the couch was Zayn and Liam, asleep on the couch. Liam seemed to have been stroking Zayn’s hair in a way Dan guess was supposed to be comforting. It seemed that Liam had tried to worm his way up under the blanket and was proceeding to try and make Zayn feel better. Dan really did coo out loud this time.
“Aww..” He gushed, reaching into his pocket and pulling out his phone. He quickly snapped the picture and placed the phone back in his pocket. He was about to tell Liam to get out of there or he’ll get sick to but he didn’t have the heart. He backed out of the sitting room and into the kitchen.
“Josh, you have to seem this picture.”
