"Papa? You think da new baby will like meh?" Michael asks, rubbing his hand on Zayn's baby bump.

"Of course, why wouldn't the baby like you?" The five year old shrugs slightly, "I dunno" "Mikey the baby will love you, don't worry"

Michael makes a circular motions on Zayn's belly, "When does the baby come out?" "Only three more months, today your daddy and I are going to find out if it's a girl or boy"

Michael gasps, "Can I come? Pwease?" "Yeah, I think daddy will let you come along" the five year old squeals, hugging Zayn's side.

Zayn hugged him back, kissing his curly hair. He was happy Michael quickly warmed up to the thought of being a big brother quickly after having a chat with Louis.

Louis was the oldest of seven kids and he was a very good brother of Zayn might say so himself, the man would always have one of his siblings over his house to babysit

They love him dearly and Zayn couldn't help but adore the thought of Michael being just like Louis as a big brother.

"Darling are you ready to go? The appointment is in an hour" Liam asks, entering the bedroom with a pile of folded baby clothes in his arms.

"Liam? Can Michael come?" Liam nods, "Yeah, you'd like that wouldn't you?" He asks his son who grins. "Yeah, I gotta pwepare"

"Prepare for what?" "Being a soldier, what if someone messes wif da baby? I have to learn how to make a knife like Yaser says so I can cut people" Michael says making Liam frown.

"No you don't, please don't let your dad teach him that Zee" he begs making Zayn giggle. "I promise" he says with a fond smile before beginning to sniffle.

Michael raises an eyebrow, "Are you sad?" "No, I'm just really happy" Zayn says, grabbing a tissue to wipe his eyes.

The five year old turns to look at his father who shrugs. "Hormones" "What dat?" "Well it's when you become very emotional, remember yesterday when he yelled at me for not putting pickles in his sandwich?"

Michael nods, "Oh, well don't cry papa" Zayn nods, "I'll try not to" he says with a sniffle, wiping his nose. "Mikey could you move a second? I have to help papa up"

Michael backs away, he couldn't help but giggle watching Liam pull Zayn up from the bed. "There, you okay?"

Zayn sniffs, "Yeah, I-I'm just really hungry" "Okay we can go pick up some Wendy's before we head to our appointment?"

"Yes please" Zayn begs, smiling when Michael rubs his belly. "Ow!" Michael yelps, shaking his hand.

"What?" Liam asks, frowning at his son. "The baby kicked" Zayn says fondly, grabbing his his boyfriend's hand.

Michael raises an eyebrow, "What does that mean?" He asks, watching his father's face light up. "It means the baby is pretty active in there" "Like playing basketball?" Michael asks with a giggle, feeling the baby kick again.

"Yeah sorta like basketball bub," Liam says with a grin, picking his son up. "You ready to find out if you're going to have a little brother or sister?"

"Yes sir!" Michael shouts, saluting him. "Boy or a girl?" The five year old thinks for a while, "Um I dunno, it's hard" "Well if it's a girl, that means you and me can protect her from the icky boys"

"Yeah! And if it's a boy then I teach him how to be cute" Michael says with a grin. "Well what if he's already cute?" "Then we have beef" The five year old says making Zayn giggle.

"You can't have beef with the baby" "Why not? I the cute one" "Well if the baby is cute, that means you'll be handsome" Michael rubs his chin, "Ooh, okay no beef" he says, making Liam ruffle his curls.

"Alright let's see, six months is that correct?" Calum asks, smiling at Zayn. "Yup" "Only three months to go, congratulations"

Michael frowns watching the doctor squirt clear liquid on Zayn's stomach, "Why he doing that?" He whisper to Liam.

"It helps us see the baby on the screen" Liam says, rubbing his back. Michael sits back on his lap, "Oh okay"

Zayn giggles a little when Calum presses the wand on his stomach, staring at the screen. "Alright," Calum says as he points to the screen. "There's your baby"

Michael frowns, "Why does da baby look like that?" he asks, looking at the screen weirdly. "Well it's still forming Michael, when your papa is nine months the baby will be fully transformed" Calum says with a grin.

"I see his head and nosey!" Michael says, pointing to the screen. "Good job buddy" Liam says with a smile. Zayn grins, "Looks like the baby is going to have the infamous Payne forehead" Michael covers his mouth to laugh when Liam sends his boyfriend a playful glare.

"So is it a girl or boy?" The older man asks with a grin as Zayn wipes the tear away from his eyes. Calum smiles examining the screen, "Looks like you're having another boy, congrads!

Michaels jaw drops, "A boy? I'm gonna have a bwother?" He asks, sliding off of Liam's lap to get a clear look of the screen. "Yup"

Zayn eyes well up in tears once again, "We're having a boy" he says with a smile as Liam kisses him quickly.

Michael sighs leaning against the bed, "That mean I have to teach him how to be a man" "A man?" Calum asks with a grin. "Yeah? When he comes here, he gotta learn how to pay bills, make money, have muscles, and no cryin" The small boy says, counting on his fingers.

"Well he's a baby, he's going to cry Mikey" Zayn says with a fond smile, squeezing his boyfriend's hand. "True but he ain't gonna be no cwy baby, he gonna be tough like meh" Michael says, flexing his skinny arms.

"You cried when you fell off your bike the other day" Liam says making Michael send him a glare. "Don't embarrass meh in front of da doctor dad," he whisper shouts to Liam, glancing at Calum.

"I did not fall, I don't know what he talking about" Calum laughs, "Hopefully your baby is just as silly as this little one" he says ruffling Michael's hair. "I'm not silly, I'm mature"

"Oh yeah?" "Yeah, ladies love mature men" Michael says, walking back over to Liam to sit on his lap. "You must have a lot of girlfriends Mike" Calum says with a grin, wiping the liquid off of Zayn's stomach

Michael sighs, "No, I'm engaged now. I gotta be held down" "Aw congratulations" "Not weally, I have to get a job to buy a venue for the wedding" Zayn raises an amused eyebrow, "Oh you're buying a venue now?"

"Yeah, Ashton wants a lot from me. I can only give so much, y'know? I'm only five!" The five year old says with exasperation. "Well good luck at the wedding then"

"I'll twy" Michael says making Liam snort, kissing his forehead. "I'll be right back with some pictures, yeah?" Calum says making Zayn nod.

"Thank you!" "So Mikey, you'll have a baby brother" Liam says with a grin, tickling his son's sides. Michael smiles, "Yeah, that cool" "What should his name be?" "Bob"

Zayn scrunches his face, "Bob?" "Yeah, like from the minions" "Mhm we'll work on names later" "Do you think the baby gonna be smart like meh?" Michael asks with a frown. 

"Hm we'll see, it would be nice to have a genius around" Liam says, looking over at Zayn. "Whatever happens, we're gonna love him just as much" "Unless he's a cwy baby" Michael says making Liam shake his head.

"Even if he is a crybaby, you'll still love him" The five year old rests his head on Zayn's belly, "Hey baby bro, I can't wait to see you" he whispers, poking at his father's belly button.

Liam smiles fondly, already excited to tell everyone about his baby boy. Now all he has to do is have the proposal plan in his head figured out, hoping it would really knock Zayn's little whale socks off.
