The Orphans- Ziam

Chapter 7

Liam in bold. Zayn in italicize.

"Harry!?" Liam shouted again. He pulled out his phone and clicked on Zayn's name. After a few minutes of the phone ringing, Zayn answered.

"Hey, babe."

"Zayn, I can't find Harry. He's missing."

"What?! What do you mean?"

"He ran away. His backpack is missing."

"Shit. Do you have any idea where he might be?"

"Yes! Harry wanted to go back to the park but I told him 'no'. He threw a tantrum, hit Louis and had to sit in timeout. While I wasn't watching, he must've went up to his room."

"You know for sure that's where he night be?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Okay. Well let know when you find him."

"I will. Bye. Love you."

"Bye. Love you too."

Liam hung up and in his pocket and back downstairs. He shut the DVD player off and turned the t.v. off. "Daddy, I watching that." Louis said with a pout.  "I know but we have to go find Harry." Liam replied. "Where he go?" Louis asked. "I don't know. He might be at the park." Liam said, putting Louis' coat and shoes on.

He buckled Louis in his car seat and got in the front seat. Liam put the car in reverse and backed out of the driveway. Liam drove slower than the speed limit in case he saw Harry and had to stop. "Daddy, can you put the radio on?" Louis asked Liam. "Sure." Liam said, turning on the radio and switched it to a children's station. Liam chuckled when he heard Louis trying to sing he song.

As they got closer to the park, Liam saw Harry's Superman backpack on the ground and started thinking the worst. 'What if he was kidnapped?' Liam thought.

"Hazzy! Hazzy!" Louis shouted, pointing out the window. "Where?" Liam asked, slowing down. "Over there Daddy. On the swings." Louis replied. Liam parked the car and unbuckled himself. He unbuckled Louis and ran over to Harry. He put Louis down and grabbed the swing, making it stop. "Hey!" Harry whined. "Harry," Liam said, sternly, "Why are you at the park?"

"Wanted to play with Nick." Harry replied, getting off of the swing. Liam got down to Harry's level "You can't run away like that. You had me and daddy Zee worried. When we get home, you are going in timeout." He told Harry. Harry nodded his head. "I'm sorry, Daddy." He said, hugging Liam. "Come on. Let's go pick up Niall." Liam said, carrying Harry and holding Louis' hand.

He buckled Harry and Louis in and they both fell asleep 5 minutes into the car ride. Liam parked the car and carefully unbuckled the two sleeping boy and went inside of the school. He walked down the hallway until he got to Niall's classroom.

It was almost time to go home and Niall couldn't wait to tell his daddies and brothers about his first day of school. He was talking to his friend, Josh, and looked up to see his daddy standing in the doorway. "Daddy!" Niall shouted, getting up and running towards Liam. While Niall was running to Liam, Eric, (who picked on Niall earlier when he overheard Niall tell Josh that he has two daddies) stuck his foot out and tripped Niall. Niall fell and landed hard on his right leg.

Liam saw everything, how that boy stuck his foot out and tripped Niall. Liam stood there frozen. He put Harry and Louis down who were now awake. Liam ran over to Niall who was laying on the ground, sobbing. Josh was holding Niall's hand. "Niall, does your leg hurt?" Liam asked. Niall nodded. Liam moved Niall's hand off his knee and looked at Niall's leg. They was already a bruise for forming on his knee. "It hurts, Daddy." Niall sobbed. "I know. It's just a bruise. We'll put ice on it when we get home." Liam said.

Ni-Ni, what happened?" Louis asked. "Eric tripped him." Josh answered. "Who are you?" Louis asked him. "I'm Josh. Niall's friend." He said. "We're going home." Liam said, picking a still sobbing Niall. He grabbed Louis' hand and asked Harry to carry Niall's backpack. "I'm strong Daddy." Harry said, while working to the car. Liam smiled, "Yes, you are."

Once they got home, Louis played with his toy cars while Harry sat in timeout and Liam laid Niall on the couch. He went into the kitchen to get a bag of ice to put on Niall's knee. Once he did that, he called Zayn.

"Hey, Li."

"Hey, babe."

"What's wrong? Did you find Harry?"

"Yes, I found Harry. Well Louis did actually."

"That's great, but what's really wrong?"

"We went to pick up Niall and a boy tripped him."

"Is he okay?"

"Yeah. Just bruised his knee."

"Do you think that Eric kid is bullying Niall?"

"I don't know but I think he tripped Niall on purpose."

"Okay. Well, I'm on my way home."

"Drive safely. Bye."

"I will. Bye."

While Liam started making dinner, he wonderedif Eric was bullying Niall. Him and Zayn would have to ask Niall.
