Sick Ziam Family

Part 6

After washing the bucket out and grabbing Liam a sweatshirt, Zayn walked into the kitchen to see Mila bawling her eyes out. The poor thing was shaking and struggling to catch her breath.

"Mi, sweetheart come'er." Zayn said placing the things for Liam on the table and opening his arms to the girl who ran straight to them.

Zayn picked the 10 year old up before sitting down in a chair and placing her on his lap.

"Why are you so upset love?" He whispered wiping some of her tears away.

"D-Daddy!" She cried out barring her face into her papas shirt. "He got si-sick! An-And he was crying!" she wailed.

Zayn teared up a little at that. It must have been really scary for her to see her dad so sick and in pain.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. shhh... it's alright love. Daddy's okay." Zayn whispered as he started to rock the little girl back and fourth.

"You wanna come with me to give him his things?" Zayn asked rubbing her back as she calmed down a bit.

Mila nodded her head as she sniffled sitting up a bit in Zayns lap. "Here, you hold daddy's sweatshirt okay?" He asked handing her the sweatshirt before placing her on his hip and picking the bucket making his way to the living room.

Zayn noticed Lydia was laying with Liam. Her hands carding they're way through his sweaty hair.

"Lyd? Didn't I tell you, you couldn't lay with daddy?" Zayn asked kind of frustrated catching Liam's attention making him open his eyes to look at his husband.

"He had a headache papa! I was trying to help!" She said tears brining her eyes.

"Oh no love, don't cry. It's okay. I'm sorry." Zayn sighed not wanting to deal with more crying. "Can you just go sit on the other couch please? It's almost time for bed." He said watching the little girl get up and walk sadly to the other couch.

Zayn placed the trash can next to the couch before squatting down so Mila was face to face with Liam.

"Here." she sniffled out whipping her nose with her hand and holding out Liam's sweatshirt to him.

"Thanks love." Liam mumbled sitting up to put it on. "I'm sorry I scared you baby." He said sadly looking at the tear stained face of his little girl.

"It's okay. I'm glad your alright." She whispered smiling at Liam sadly.

"Can I have a hug?" Liam asked opening his arms as Zayn put the little one down.

Liam gave her big hug feeling terrible about scaring her.

"Alright girls, can you head upstairs and get into your pjs? I'll be up to say goodnight in a minute." Zayn said sending the two girls to bed.

"You alright?" Zayn asked as Liam layed back down.

"To be honest, not really. My stomachs flipping and my heads pounding." Liam sighed.

Zayn frowned moving Liam's hair from his forehead. "I wish I could make it better."

Liam let out a shaky breath grabbing at his stomach. "Go put the kids to bed. I need you." He whimpered.

Zayns heart broke at how weak he sounded. "I'll be right back." He whispered running up the stairs.

--------------------

After saying a quick goodnight to the girls, Zayn raced back down stairs to see Liam laying in the same spot.

"Come on babe. we need to get you back to bed. I don't want the kids waking you up in the morning." Zayn sighed as he picked Liam up bridal style jerking his stomach.

"No Zayn put me down." Liam said feeling his stomach twist.

Zayn did as he was told placing Liam on feet. Liam reached down and picked the trash can up taking long and deep breathes while closing his eyes. Zayn stood there rubbing his back even though he knew Liam wouldn't be sick. there was nothing left for him to get out.

"Okay..." Liam whispered taking Zayns hand as Zayn guided them both slowly back upstairs and into bed.

Zayn got Liam situated before climbing in himself and wrapping his arms around him. Liam snuggled up into his chest sighing.

"I hope your better tomorrow." Zayn said kissing Liam's still warm forehead.

"Me too." Liam whispered already half asleep under the warm covers.

They both feel straight asleep.
