"Liam! I have some exciting news!" Harry said skipping into the kitchen where Liam was working with Zayn on homework.
"Yes?" Liam asked raising his eyebrow.
"In two weeks I have to go to California for work and I'm taking you and the boys with because they have spring break that week." Harry said and Liam rolled his eyes. He has been to California plenty of times.
"So? We always go." Liam said.
"Yeah but this will be our first big family vacation together with Zayn. I have so much to do to get him ready, like get him a passport, get him shots, buy clothes-" Harry rambled before Liam cut him off with laughter.
"Relax love, Zayn will be plenty prepared for his first trip." Liam smiled ruffling Zayn's hair as the boy continued his "homework" (which was just tracing letters), uninterested in this conversation.
"All done." Zayn mumbled pushing away from his seat and going to grab his backpack.
"Ah Zayn you know the rules. Daddy has to check it first." Liam said taking the paper from the boy and skimming through it, only having Zayn correct a few things before they were finally done.

Over the next week or so, Zayn got a brand new passport, new clothes, and toys. The boy was on cloud nine up until actually having to leave for the trip.
"Monkey it's time to wake up." Liam cooed walking into the boys room. He expected Zayn to still be asleep, but what he saw was Zayn sitting up rubbing his eyes. This boy refuses to wake up at 10 a.m let alone 4 a.m. "What are you doing up love? It's quite early."
"Scary dream." Zayn mumbled holding his arms up for Liam to pick him up which the man quickly did.
"Baby you could have come and gotten me." Liam said holding the boy in his lap tightly. Zayn just snuggled farther into his daddy, enjoying the warmth. Well that is until Liam picked the boy up and set him on the bed so he could start getting him dressed. Zayn was quickly dressed in a pair of gray joggers, a black shirt with a green beanie.
"I can put on my shoes Daddy!" Zayn said as he took the shoes from Liam's hands and quickly put them on and tying them best he could.
"My big boy, now go make sure your brothers are awake while Papa and I go load up the car." Liam said patting Zayn's bum and going down the stairs. Zayn ran into Niall's room first since he would be the nicest.
"Ni!" Zayn squealed running into the older boy's legs.
"Hey buddy, you are energetic this morning." Niall laughed lifting Zayn up and placing the boy on his bed. Zayn giggled and fell back on to the big bed.
After a few minutes of watching Niall finish packing, Zayn grew bored like any four year old would and moved on to Louis' room.
"Lou?" Zayn asked skeptically as he walked in to the foreign room. To Zayn, this was the cool big boy room. It was dirty, had cool posters on the wall, and just looked like a teenagers room.
"What's up Zayn?" Louis asked as he searched through a pile of clothes on the floor.
"Daddy said I come see you." Zayn mumbled causing Louis to smile.
"Yeah? Well I'm about to bring my bag down so why don't you come down with me." Louis said already taking Zayn's hand while rolling his bag behind him. Zayn nodded and let Louis lead the way downstairs.
"You boys ready?" Harry asked taking Louis' bag.
"I am." Louis said letting go of Zayn's hand.
