A/N: Most babies have their first smile when they’re between six and eight weeks olds.
Baby's First Smile:
LIAM:
"Where’s Emmy?" Liam whispered and covered his eyes with his large hands, only to remove them seconds later. "Oh there she is," he chuckled, "my beautiful girl." He smiled widely as he looked down at his daughter. "What are you doing Li?" you giggled, walking into the master bedroom and saw your husband sitting on the bed with Amelia laying beside him. He looked up at you and smiled. "Playing peek-a-boo with her. I think she likes it," he replied, before looking back down at his little girl. You smiled, not having the heart to tell him that she was only eight weeks old and probably didn’t know what he was doing to her. "Again sweet pea?" he cooed and lent forward to kiss her head, before sitting up again. "Where’s Emmy?" he chuckled, covering his eyes again, as you walked towards the bed quietly. He removed his hands and smiled at the baby girl laying in front of him. "There she is," he cooed and tickled her small tummy, making her little lips turn into a smile. Liam gasped and your eyes went wide. "Did she just?" he whispered, "smile? I think so Li," you added. Liam laid down happily beside Amelia and rested his hand on her body. "Where is that gorgeous smile sweet pea? Can you smile for mummy and daddy again?" You slowly sat down on the bed by Liam and looked at your daughter. Amelia’s eyes lit up when she saw you and smiled happily, making you smile excitedly and Liam kiss her cheeks proudly.
LOUIS:
"Shh Noah, it’s ok," Louis soothed, cradling his crying son. As he rocked Noah gently in his arms, he sighed happily as the crying settled down. Louis poked his tongue at his little boy, but Noah just stared at him with a blank expression. Louis sighed disappointedly; he really wanted to make his little boy smile or laugh. He decided to try another face. He crossed his eyes and sucked in the corners of his mouth. Noah’s little mouth twitched, making Louis drop the face and smile widely. He held him close to his chest as he walked towards the master bedroom where you were putting away clean clothes. "He smiled boo," Louis said excitedly. "Are you sure it wasn’t just gas, Lou? Like last week," you giggled. He sighed and shook his head, "I’m positive he smiled. I’ll see if I can get him to smile again," he said, transferring Noah from his arms to yours. He whined and wiggled to get comfortable against you. Louis made another funny face; he raised one corner of his mouth and both his eyebrows as he rolled his eyes. You looked from your funny husband to your little boy. His little blue eyes focused on his dad’s face and seconds later, he smiled. "See I told you," Louis said proudly and smiled. You giggled and swayed Noah gently. "Do you think daddy is funny?" you cooed and kissed his head. "Of course he does. I can teach you to be funny too," Louis poked his tongue at Noah, making him smile again.
NIALL:
"Num num," Niall cooed and brought Cora’s little foot to his mouth, playfully biting it. "Nom Nom," he repeated, playfully biting Declan’s tiny hand. "Are you hungry little Horans?" Niall smiled, "mummy is getting your bottles, yea she is." He chuckled to himself, but the two seven week olds sat in their bouncy chairs and watched him, with blank faces. "Num num, I’m going to eat your little toes," he bit Cora’s foot again, making her wiggle her leg and face light up. You walked into the room and watched Niall with the twins. You froze as you saw Cora smiling. "Nom nom, you’ve got yummy fingers," he whispered, bringing Declan’s hand to his mouth. You watched as Declan’s blue eyes lit up and he smiled lazily. "Ni, they’re smiling, oh my god," you whispered, putting the bottles on the coffee table and quickly kneeling beside him. "What? Smiling, really princess?" he asked looking at you. "Do it again to Cora and watch her face?" you explained. As Niall lent forward and opened his mouth around her little foot, Cora smile again. "See that Ni, she smiled," you said excitedly. "Look at your beautiful smile Corabear," Niall cooed and kissed his little girl’s cheek, "just like your mummy’s." You turned to Declan and took his arms in your hands. "Can mummy have a smile Dec?" you cooed. He looked at you at hearing your voice and smiled cheekily. "Oh that’s a big smile Dec," you giggled proudly and kissed his cheek, "you cheeky little boy."
HARRY:
"Harry? Are you ok?" you called out, hoping nothing happened when he went to get Spencer out of her crib from her nap. You walked around the corner to the stairs, stopping when you saw them. "There you are Haz," you sighed, "I was coming up to see what was taking so long." Spencer wiggled in his arms, trying to get out of her pink blanket. Harry frowned and unwrapped her a little, so she could move her arms and legs freely. Harry turned to face the mirror in front of him, as you stood beside him. "Look at my two gorgeous girls," Harry smiled and kissed your temple, before looking back down at his little girl. He tilted Spencer slightly and looked in the mirror again. "Who’s that? Is it Spencer?" he cooed. You placed your hand on his shoulder and looked at your little family’s reflection. Spencer caught a look at the image in the mirror and locked her eyes with herself. She opened her little mouth and watched as her reflection did the same. "Haz, look at her," you whispered softly, tapping his shoulder. Harry chuckled quietly and watched his daughter in the mirror. Spencer wiggled her nose and smiled. Harry’s face lit up and he looked at you excitedly. "Baby, she smiled," he said. He shifted Spencer so she was against his arm, looking at the mirror straight on. "Who’s that pretty girl? With those big green eyes?" you cooed, kissing her forehead. She smiled and reached out towards to her refection.
ZAYN:
"How’s my boy?" Zayn smiled, picking up his son off his play mat. Kaiden looked at his dad with matching dark eyes. Zayn kissed his little cubby cheek and laid him on his chest. Kaiden whined and wiggled on his chest, so Zayn gently rubbed his back, hoping to sooth him but Kaiden wiggled more. "Come here Kade," Zayn cooed, carefully placing his hands around Kaiden’s little body and pulling him away from his chest. The little boy kept his eyes on Zayn as he settled down. "You like moving, do you?" he whispered, moving Kaiden around in the air. "Like a superhero Kade. Flying around saving people," Zayn moved him over his head, "like superman. You’re Super K." As he brought Kaiden down and then up again, Kaiden smiled widely showing his little pink tongue. Zayn gasped and brought Kaiden to him. "Was that a smile Kade? Can daddy see it again?" he cooed and smiled at his baby boy. Kaiden sensed Zayn’s excited and smiled at him, making Zayn smile wider. "Super K," Zayn chuckled, "shall we go save Mummy and show her that smile." Zayn moved Kaiden so he was ‘flying’ towards you in the kitchen. "Guess what baby girl?" Zayn walked towards you. You opened your mouth to ask, but Kaiden smiled. "Oh my handsome boy," you cooed and kissed his forehead, "you are so clever aren’t you Kade." Kaiden loved the attention and smiled again, making you and Zayn smile widely at your son.
