Zayn jumped out of the car, bouncing excitedly on the balls of his feet. They had parked in front of a large building with a lot of glass windows and beautiful lights adorned it.

"Zayn come on," Harry said, offering his hand to the toddler. Zayn grabbed his arm, feeling quite small as they pushed open the doors. Inside, there was chatter and quiet music playing in the background. A man in a black and white suit came up to them, smiling. "Welcome to The Beretta, table for seven?"

Harry looked around at them. "Yes that would do, thank you."

The waiter led them deeper into the restaurant and Zayn could smell delicious food being served. His stomach growled loudly. Louis probably heard it because he began to laugh and Zayn felt his cheeks redden. He huffed, lifting a finger to his lips as he turned to him. "Shh!" he said angrily.

Harry looked towards them with a smile. "What is it?"

Louis winked at Zayn. "Oh nothing."

They sat down by a wooden table for seven, and Zayn climbed up on the seat beside Harry who was seated beside Louis. Anne and Gemma sat opposite them. Zayn looked up to see Niall sitting opposite him. "Hi," Zayn grinned.

Niall chuckled. "Hi."

Harry poured them all some water and Zayn grabbed the glass with both hands, gulping it down. He reached the table just enough to eat and he couldn't help but feel proud o himself. "Jayn'sh big now," he voiced out loud, but nobody seemed to hear since Harry and Anne had plunged into a conversation with Gemma and Louis. Zayn pouted, turning to look at Niall who had pulled his phone out and was scrolling through it. That's when Zayn felt the absence of a person, a person who always made sure he didn't feel left out. The toddler gasped. "Nawiall!"

Niall looked up immediately. "What? What happened?"

Zayn shook his head, feeling sadness overcome him. "We losht Leeyum. "

Niall blinked. "That's it?"

Zayn scowled. "Leeyum ish besht, we can't fogot him."

Niall smiled. "We didn't, he's with Sophia."

"Oh," Zayn said. "But why?"

"Sophia was sad and wanted him to come over," Niall explained simply.

Zayn tilted his head. But they were supposed to be a family! Liam couldn't just leave. "When ish he coming?"

Niall shrugged. "He won't be coming, I think."

Zayn's shoulder slumped. "Oh."

Niall shook his head, smiling. "I mean, he'll come but I don't know when."

Zayn crossed his arms and huffed. "But Shophia ish bowing, Leeyum will be hewe shoon."

Niall laughed. "Let's hope he will."

Zayn nodded in determination. He knew that Liam would run away from Sophia the minute she'd start scrolling through her phone and leave him alone.

A minute later, the same man arrived. "Ready to order?"

And as Harry lifted the thin book that had been lying on the table and began to speak gibberish, Zayn thought someone had whispered his name. He looked around, curious who it could be. Maybe it was Amanda since he seemed to bump into her everywhere. He turned to look behind him when someone flicked his ear. "Ow!" Zayn turned around, fingertips holding his ear tightly as he looked up at Harry. He then leaned forward and pinched Harry's arm, turning away and trying to hide his giggle.
But Harry didn't say anything. He just continued to talk to the man, nodding and smiling and asking around. Zayn couldn't help but feel confused. Should he pinch harder?
