A New Life « Ziall

Chapter 2.

*Zayn's Pov*

The car ride home wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be. Harry and Louis got on amazingly, happily chatting about anything and everything. The one thing that concerned me however was that Liam hadn't said a word the whole journey, he just stayed quiet in his car seat, cuddling his stuffed dog and listening to Harry and Louis' conversation with wide curious eyes.

Niall told me not to worry about him much and that he will open up to us on his own.

when we got home niall helped Louis and Harry out of their small booster seats (a/n: like a smaller car seat idk) and out of the car as I unbuckled Liam from his car seat. He looked up at me shyly with his big deep brown eyes as I fumbled with straps, finally undoing them.

I debated whether or not I should just pick him up and carry him in or ask him first. I went with the second option.

"Liam baby can I pick you up?" I ask sweetly in a soft voice.

He hesitates for a moment before hiding his face in his stuffed dog and nodding. I smile lifting him out of the seat and cradling him close to me chest. As I walk to the door I could feel his tiny arms slowly snake their way around my neck.

I bite my lips suppressing the urge to coo loudly. I open the door to our house hearing loud giggles and my husband yelling from the kitchen for Louis and Harry to be careful. I chuckle shaking my head because it's only been 3 hours and louis has already managed to corrupt harry into following in his mischievous footsteps.

Liam looked up at me curiously as if asking 'what are you laughing at?'

"Oh Li-Li promise me you won't be a little trouble maker like Lou" I smile deciding to be bold and kiss his forehead. I can see a faint smile growing on his tiny lips as he shakes his head and hides his face in my shoulder. I cheer internally feeling like this is his first step in opening up.

I put liam down helping him take off his jacket and shoes, proceeding to do the same. I start to walk towards the kitchen liam quietly following. I enter to see niall making some mac and cheese and Louis and Harry in the living room playing some game. I crouch down to liam's level, brushing the fringe from his eyes.

"Liam do you want to go play with the boys? Look there's harry" I say encouragingly. He looks over to the living room hesitantly but nods his head.

"Go on babe, harry is there" Niall says from his spot at the stove. Liam looks at the both of us before running off towards the living room.

I sigh getting up, walking behind niall "hey babe" I say wrapping my arms around his waste while kissing his neck in the process.

He takes in a sharp breath turning around to wrapping his arms around my neck

"I just left you for ten minutes" he chuckles, pulling my head down to kiss me rather roughly.

I kiss back equally as rough, moving him towards the island counter and away from the stove, never breaking the kiss. I tighten my grip on his hips pushing us closer together, the kiss getting even more heated, but that stops as niall detaches his lips squeaking out a small "zayn stop".

I do as he says backing up a little my hands however still on his hips. He looks up at me fixing my hair in the process.

"Sorry it's just the kids could have walked in, I keep forgetting we have three now" he pauses "you know it'll be harder to do...things with three kids now" he chuckles smiling that beautiful smile I fell in love with.
