"Are you boys excited for tomorrow?" Liam asks as the family sits at the dinner table.
"Super excited, Papa! I'm gonna go on all the rides a gazillion times," Louis said with his mouth full of mash potatoes.
"Me too! And we get to see Santa," Niall quickly adds.
You see, tomorrow is the last day of school before winter holiday at their school, and as per tradition they're hosting the annual Christmas fair. The two boys and their fathers have been going since Louis started the school, and they were excited to go again only this time they're bringing Zayn along for the fun.
"I wanna take Zayn on the swing ride," Louis says while turning to his daddy who was feeding the toddler in the booster seat.
"Oh I don't know about that, love. Zaynie's a baby, I don't think he can go on that ride," Liam answer with Harry nodding along with the man, however, Zayn took notice of the answer.
"Big boy," Zayn pouts, while slightly opening his lips for another bite of food, that has Harry cooing all over again.
"You're my big boy. My non-messy eating, big boy," Harry cooed as he gave his nephew a small peck.
"Can I go on it, papa?" Niall questions and Liam just smiles at his youngest son.
"Yes baby you can go on it."
The five finish dinner without any plates being dropped or cups being spilled, which Harry counts as a success, and soon everyone was off doing their own thing. Liam washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen seeing as though it was his night, and the three boys played in front of the TV while Harry watched in fondness.
At one point, Louis set up his little game console for him and Niall to play Mario on, however, with Zayn constantly pressing buttons on the box as well as controller it wasn't a surprise when Louis told the boy he couldn't play. So Zayn settled for playing with his blocks with Harry for a bit before the older man claimed it to be bathtime.
"No, play," Zayn whined while picking up his blocks and stuffing them into his shirt as Harry picked him up.
"No, it's time for baby boys like you to get bathed and then go to sleep," Harry cooed as he removed the blocks and carried Zayn upstairs.
"No, big boy," Zayn whined again as he started reaching his hands out to grab his blocks just as Liam entered the room.
"Big boys need their baths too, baby, don't worry. C'mon Lou, Ni, let's get you two settled into some jammies," Liam said as he grabbed both boys' hands and led them upstairs.
"See, babe, they're getting baths, too. Now let's go get you washed."
And with that Harry managed to get Zayn the rest of the way up to the bathroom. Knowing he had to do it fast to earn minimal complaints, Harry was quick to fill the tub and place Zayn in it where he immediately started to wash off the boy. From washing and conditioning his hair to washing off his body with Baby Johnson soap, Harry managed to have the boy cleaned in under ten minutes.
"You ready to get out, muffin?" Harry cooed and Zayn immediately nodded his head.
He's never been one to like to play in the tub.
So Harry lifts the boy and wraps a big, fluffy towel around the boy's slightly shaking body from the shock of temperature change, and carried him over to his room. He laid the boy down on his bed with the towel still around him as he set up the nappy material and pajamas before getting the boy changed and settled for the night.
