"Zaynie come on babe we gotta pack your bag." Liam said as he tried to drag Zayn away from his Legos (which were definitely not Liam nor Harry's favorite to find at 10 p.m.)
"Play later?" Zayn asked and Liam nodded with a smile.
"Of course we can play later, but we gotta pack now." Liam said and so with that Zayn quickly put them back in their box, and took Liam's hand as the two walked upstairs.
They were getting ready to go see Harry's mum and stepdad for the weekend so Zayn could meet them and also to shut up Gemma about meeting the boy. Liam quickly began going through Zayn's closet as he wanted to finish Zayn's packing before the boy got tired and cranky.
Liam quickly packed the boys bag and occasionally would ask Zayn to go grab something or put something in the bag. Just as Liam finished, Harry was walking in with Louis and Niall who had just finished footie practice.
"Hey boys, how was practice?" Liam asked as he walked downstairs with Zayn on his hip, who reached his arms out for Harry upon seeing him.
"It was fine, just exhausting." Niall said as he took off his cleats.
"Well you two need to go shower, badly, and pack your bags." Liam said as plugged his nose jokingly. Louis and Niall rolled their eyes and headed upstairs, with no intent to do either of the things Liam asked.
"Did you pack Zayn's things?" Harry asked as he played with Zayn's hair.
"Yep everything is set and we even did his homework." Liam said tickling Zayn's belly causing the younger boy to squeal and squirm in the older man's arms.

The next day, Harry and Liam went ahead and sent the boys to school, telling they would pick them up before lunch. But as lunch became closer and closer, Zayn was starting to worry that they had forgot about him.
"Ms. Roman can you send Zayn here with his things." the speaker in the room said.
"Of course." Ms. Roman said nodding her head towards Zayn who started packing up his things. "Zayn do you know how to get to the front office?" Ms. Roman asked walking up to the boy to help him with his coat and things.
"Yes." Zayn mumbled before thanking the woman and grabbing his bags before walking out of the classroom. He walked quietly down the hallway and turned right where he saw Liam was waiting.
"Hey baby boy." Liam said as Zayn crashed into his legs. Liam picked him up and signed him out before walking out to the car where the rest of the family was waiting. Louis sat in the seat next to Zayn's car seat while Niall sat in the back since there was no middle seat.
"Alright is everyone buckled in?" Harry asked as Liam got into the drivers seat.
"Yep." Liam mumbled starting the car.
The drive was going fine, the family had just ate, Louis and Niall were watching movies, and Zayn was fast asleep. They were only 10 minutes away now and the two older boys were starting to get everything ready while Zayn stayed fast asleep.
"Lou will you go ahead and wake Zayn up." Harry said not wanting to have to deal with Zayn freaking out when he wakes up in an unfamiliar place.
Zayn gave a small whine as Louis shook the boy, but he finally fluttered his eyes open. He fisted his eyes, trying to rub the sleep from him, as they pulled into Harry's parents driveway. Zayn gave a small yawn as Harry unstrapped the boy from his car seat and began carrying him in.
"Mum!" Harry yelled as he stepped into the house and immediately the lady was running over hugging him as Zayn held on to Harry tighter.
"Oh my gosh Harry he is just so precious." Anne commented as Zayn stared around the room, slightly nervous.
"Aw thanks mum. He is rather shy so I don't know how much talking you'll get out of him." Harry said as he rubbed Zayn's back soothingly. Liam walked in with a couple of bags a few moments later and quickly hugged Anne, Gemma, and Robin who were all cooing over Zayn.
Eventually Harry and Liam got all the bags in with Zayn following them in and out of the house. "Alright baby come here." Liam cooed after he had set down the last bag. Zayn lifted up his arms shyly and Liam happily picked him up and carried him downstairs where the rest of the family was talking. Zayn laid his head on Liam's shoulder as he absentmindedly played with Liam's shirt.
The family stayed up and talked for a while and ordered pizza since no one felt like cooking or going out.
"Zaynie eat up bug." Harry said as noticed Zayn hadn't touched his pizza in quite a bit. Zayn would eat, but he had already eaten half of one slice and his tummy was beginning to hurt. The boy reached for one of the smaller cut up pieces and slowly began eating once he was sure it was okay to.
The rest of the evening was spent catching up on family things and playing board games, specifically candy land since that was the only age appropriate one for Zayn to play. Of course, they let Zayn win and the boy was grinning ear to ear because of it. However as the adults started talking, Zayn's became sleepier and sleepier until he was passed out on Liam's lap.
"I'm going to take Zayn upstairs to bed." Liam said as he picked the young boy up off his lap and carried him upstairs. He quickly changed Zayn into a pair of flannel pajamas and put him in his bed which he was sharing with Liam and Niall.
"Goodnight baby boy." Liam said as he brushed Zayn's hair out of his face and gave him a kiss on the forehead.
