It's about an hour into the dinner event and everyone was having a great time. Salads and appetizers had been served, Niall and his football mates were jumping around the entire place, Louis managed to become the center of attention on the dance floor, but then there was Zayn. He wasn't having a great time.

For the whole hour they had been at the event, the little boy had yet to leave Liam and Harry's side. If it was up to him he wouldn't have left Harry's hip, however, the curly headed man needed to help arrange some food in the kitchen and Liam had pulled a muscle in a recent fire event so he didn't want to carry people at the moment. So the boy instead stuck to just standing by either adults side as they talked to more random adults, remaining quiet unless spoken to.

Eventually, though, it's time for the dinner service, so Harry - to the joy of Zayn - actually picks the boy up and seats him at the table just as Niall and Louis arrive back as well. So now with the whole family seated at the table Zayn got the impression that people would actually talk to - or at least acknowledge - him now, however he couldn't be more wrong...and Zayn realized that when he got his plate of food.

"Uncle Hazza," the little boy says as he begins to tug on his uncle's jacket with a look of disgust on his face.

"Baby, don't tug, yeah? I don't want to rip my suit," Harry chastises as he removes the boy's hand. "What do you need, love? It's soft, you don't need a knife."

"S'yucky," Zayn says while slightly sticking out his tongue.

"None of that, you haven't even tried it yet," Liam throws in while flicking the boy's tongue so he would put it back in his mouth.

So begrudgingly Zayn takes a bite of the fish only to come to the same answer of it being yucky, however, Liam and Harry said he was just being dramatic and he needed to eat it. So once again Zayn just nodded his head with a pout as he began to take small bites of the fish because he knew his uncles weren't going to let him out it. And at first he wasn't upset about it (or at least not that upset about it) however when he saw them trading Niall and Louis' plates in for the kid oriented plates of mac-n-cheese and chicken nuggets then he got mad.

"Me too," Zayn whined as he lifted his plate to give to the person taking the plate, however, before the waiter could grab it Liam stopped him.

"Oi, Zayn no. You like fish there's no need to waste a plate you already started eating from," Liam said before turning to the waiter. "Just two kid plates, he'll finish this one."

"Uncle Li s'yucky," Zayn whined again this time kicking his legs a bit so they'd hit the back of the chair which caused Liam to place a light slap to the boy's thigh in order to make him stop.

"I recommend cutting this tantrum short, Zayn Javaad. We are at a nice dinner and I will not hesitate to give you a spanking," Liam whispered harshly into the boy's ear.

And rather than picking a fight, because he knows his uncle will stay true to his word, Zayn just nodded his head as he moved the fish to the side and ate a bit of the mash potatoes. However, he could only eat that for so long until Niall and Louis were asking for some of that which Zayn gave to them because, well, he wanted to be a good boy.

So as everyone was eating now, the hosts of the event began to start the small award assembly as well as silent auction. And for a while everything was well and organized. All the kids were seated, no one was throwing tantrums, it was just tranquil...but then Zayn needed the loo.
