Liam's POV

"Don't give Jeremiah syrup he only plays with it, and makes a giant mess. Also no syrup for Elisa she hates it, so whipped cream instead," I remind Niall as he sets out condiments for our breakfast.

"Luke doesn't like syrup either does he?" Niall asks as he grabs the whipped cream, and peanut butter (which Jeremiah likes on his pancakes).

"Nope he prefers homemade syrup. It's just brown sugar mixed into boiled water. It soaks the pancake and gives it a little flavor, but isn't sticky. Harry is taking care of that," I reply as I take Jeremiah's plate and put peanut butter on his pancakes as well as cut them into tiny bite size pieces that he will be able to eat.

"See I'm learning. Give me some time and I'll have this down," Niall chuckles as he places the remainder of the condiments on the table. He also carries over the babies' cups, each with their favorite cartoon character on it and filled with milk.

"Yes, you are and hopefully someday you'll learn that when I ask you get the first aid kit you'll actually get it or maybe even better you will learn how to calm down one of the babies," Harry replies still extremely pissed about what happened yesterday.
Niall says nothing to this. His cheeks go pale and he focuses on making sure there is enough room for the sausage, toast, and eggs that Harry places on the table.

"Harry stop. He already feels bad enough. You have to remember he wasn't there for a lot of what we went through," I remind him reaching over to give Niall's hand a squeeze to let him know that I am here for him even though he made a mistake yesterday.

"Am, eggs," Luke demands pointing at the bowel of eggs excitedly wanting his favorite breakfast food.

"Yes, I'll get you your eggs and put your sugar on your pancakes," I assure him as I take his plate and careful pour some of his special syrup onto his pancakes before scooping some scrambled eggs on as well.

Harry takes care of Elisa's breakfast well Niall finishes up preparing Jeremiah's. Once that is finished we are able to dig into our own breakfast.

"How is your head feeling?" Niall asks waiting till I finish chewing the bit of food in my mouth to ask.

"A little sore, but I'm fine. Harry has made sure of that. I don't even seem to have a concussion either. I haven't thrown up or anything. In a couple days I'll be fine," I reply giving Harry a thankful smile  while also blowing a him playful kiss.

Niall seems to relax at this. I know he must have been up late worrying about my health and probably the babies as well. It defiantly broke his heart when Harry closed our bedroom door in his face and I know it shattered mine, but he did deserve a night out in the dog house. We can't have him freezing up when we need him, not with the way our lives are.

Watching Niall help Elisa with her breakfast is a reminder that he is not a bad person, and he does love our family. He just does not know how to handle a crisis situation like we do and unfortunately our family runs into a lot of crisis situations.

The sound of a car pulling into the driveway catches all our attention. Harry stops eating and meets Niall's eyes. Together they both rise to their feet with Niall heading towards the door and Harry to the kitchen window.

Niall keeps a hand on the door while peeking out the peek hole and Harry is already grabbing a knife.

"It's Louis and Zayn, I thought they weren't suppose to be here until tomorrow night," Niall speaks up as he relaxes from the door.

"Did you hear that? Bada and Papa are home," I tell the babies getting excited squeals in response.

"Ba! I wan Ba!" Jeremiah squeals jumping up and down in his seat excitedly.

"Pa, silly," Luke giggles as he grabs a piece of his pancakes with his fingers.

"Pa Baba, pshhh," Elisa agrees clapping her hands together giggling.

Harry is talking in whispers with Niall about the sudden change of plans, whatever they're whispering about I don't bother asking about knowing they will not give me an honest answer. Being the Carrier in the relationship means I don't really get to know what is going on.

"Out, Ba an Pa!" Luke shouts holding his hands up in the air to say he wants out so he can go greet his Baba and Papa.

"Okay, hold on buddy. I'm coming," I assure him as I push myself to my feet keeping a hand beneath my belly to offer it some support. I waddle my way over to Luke picking him up out of his chair and placing him on the floor. I do the same with Jeremiah and Elisa, except I keep Elisa in my arms. I waddle my way over to the door just as it is opened.

"BABA!" Jeremiah yells lifting his arms up to be picked up by his Baba. Zayn swoops Jeremiah up off the floor giving him plenty of raspberries and kisses. Louis flies Luke through the air like he is an air plane before placing him on the floor and doing the same to Elisa.

They both greet the babies they have not said hello to yet before coming over to me. Louis wraps an arm around me pulling me up against him so that my belly is pressed up against his.
"Well hey there gorgeous. Long time no see," he jokes before leaning in to give me a big  kiss that includes a little tongue before pulling back and giving me an Eskimo kiss.
I giggle at his usual playfulness and peck his lips happily in greeting. I really have missed my clown of a husband.


He sinks to his knees in front of me and gives my belly a great big kiss well whispering something to the babies in there that I can't quite make out, but whatever it is makes him laugh and the sound of his voice makes the babies kick out at him in greeting.

"Alright enough of my Lili. Where is my Hazza?!" Louis asks heading off in search of Harry who he finds in the kitchen giving him an expectant look. Louis grabs him by the waist tugging him down into a dunk where he gives him a hot passionate kiss with probably a lot of tongue.

"Hey you," Zayn grins at me wrapping his arms around my waist resting his forehead against mine.

"Hi sexy," I giggle leaning in to nuzzle my nose against his.

"You're adorable," he laughs leaning in to give my lips a kiss. I force him to deepen the kiss by digging my fingers into his hair. He gives my butt a squeeze making me let out a little squeak.

"Watch out he's in one of his naughty moods. He probably would have been in on his knees yesterday if I would have let him," Harry warns Zayn as we pull apart his words making my cheeks flush a darker red.

"What our sweet Liam trying to be naughty? He is never like that," Louis laughs making me snuggle into Zayn's side as my cheeks flush an even darker red.

"What happened to his head?" Zayn suddenly asks noticing the bandage on my head for the first time. I can feel his fingers pressing in on the wound a little as he examines Harry's handy work.

"There was bit of an incident yesterday afternoon. It seems Liam fainted while he was in the kitchen and hit his head on the counter while going down. The injury isn't serious. There are no signs of a concussion, but there was a bit of blood. He was on strict bed rest for the rest of the day and has been doing okay this morning. Luke got freaked out by the entire thing and had a little panic attack. Jeremiah also had a tantrum, but Elisa did okay. A little freaked out but no attacks or tantrums," Harry explains as he picks up a whining Luke.

"Aw it just wasn't a good day yesterday was it?" Louis asks Elisa as he picks her up giving her little kisses all over her head and giving Jeremiah a big hug.

"Where were you during this?" Zayn asks turning his attention to Niall, who has been hidden behind a wall.

"Um...I was a little...I was...I..." Niall stutters out looking to be on the verge of tears.

"He did nothing. It took Liam asking Jeremiah to play out in the living room to get him to even move. I also had to get the first air kit myself. He just stood there watching as our children had melt downs.
