The next day, Wednesday, was rather quiet until Wendy came. It was just Harry and Zayn and the younger boy played with some of Niall's toys, especially his race track, while Harry went returned some emails and phone calls.

"Zayn buddy, let's get some food in your tummy." Harry said as he saw it was noon and Zayn still needed to take a nap before Wendy came.

Sticking to Zayn's meal plan, Harry made the boy a small bowl of chicken noodle soup with some crackers on the side. By the time Zayn finished, the boy could barely keep his eyes open, so Harry laid Zayn down on the couch with a cartoon playing. The boy was out as soon as his stuffie and blanket were in hand.

At about 1:30, Harry woke Zayn up so he would have time before Wendy came. "Zaynie lets talk for a minute yeah?" Harry asked and continued when Zayn gave a small nod, "That lady that we met yesterday, Ms. Wendy, is coming over to help you, but I won't be with you guys. I'll be upstairs in my office while you guys work in the dinning room." Harry said and Zayn pouted slightly because he was meeting all these new people and now being forced the be alone with them. It just didn't seem right or fun to Zayn, it was scary. All he wanted to do was play with Niall and Louis' toys while having Harry or Liam close by. Was that really to much to ask?

Thirty minutes later, Zayn and Wendy were seated at the table and Zayn was staring at the closed door while Wendy got her things out.

"Alrighty Zayn, do you want to play a game with me?" Wendy asked and Zayn looked back at her before nodding. She took out some cards and shuffled them. "I'm going to hold up a letter and you tell me what it is, can you do that?" Wendy asked and Zayn nodded.

"Okay what's this one?"

"L" Zayn whispered shyly and Ms. Wendy nodded looking at the card. They did the whole alphabet with Zayn only forgetting a couple of letters, but Wendy was impressed. For a boy that didn't go to school, he sure did know a lot.

They moved on to practice with writing their letters and then a little bit of math until the timer went off and Harry was walking downstairs and into the dinning room.

"Hey, all done?" Harry asked sticking his head in and Wendy nodded. Harry smiled and walked in and pulled Zayn into his arms. "Was he good? Did he talk any?"

"Yeah he did talk a bit, we played a game and he would only whisper the letter he saw, but it wasn't a big deal. I left him some coloring sheets for him to work on as he did seem to enjoy us coloring earlier." Wendy said.

After showing her out, Harry went back to the living room where he set Zayn down so the boy could play while Harry worked before they had to go pick up the older boys from school.

"Zaynie I think it's tim to go get the older boys." Harry says after another half hour or so of playing. Zayn didn't put up much of a fit leaving, which Harry was so thankful for. Upon arriving at the school, Louis and Niall were quick to spot Harry's car and dash towards it.

"Papa! I made a 100 on my spelling test!" Louis exclaimed as he jumped in the passenger seat.

"That's do good boobear, I am so proud of you." Harry says with a smile. "How about you Nialler? How was your day?" Harry asks as he looks back at the boy.

"I didn't do good on my science test." the blonde boy mumbled.

"Oh Nialler we studied so hard fo-" Harry began, only to be cutoff by Niall.
