"Let's go boys! You're going to be late for school." Liam yells as two identical little pitter patters run down the stairs. "Boys what did I tell you about running down the stairs?"

"That we should never do it because it is dangerous." Johnny says, the more confident of the two.

"Exactly and why did you do it if I told you not to?" The two little boys just shrug their shoulders. "Well if you're not going to listen to me, I suggest you forget about going to the park after school," he says as he turns around walking towards the closet to get their back packs. One with The Avengers and another with Batman on it. No doubt there will come a time when debates about whose better would arise.

Liam looks back to see the two boys looking at each other and then back at him, "But daaaaad!"

"There will be no buts in this house. Now go get your shoes on." Liam orders walking away from their pouting faces towards the kitchen finishing putting their lunch boxes together.

By eight o' clock sharp he grabs his keys seeing the boys standing by the door with their back packs on. The drive to the preschool is silent as the two boys mourn over the trip to the park they lost. Liam isn't really going to deny them a trip to the park. But they need to learn that even the smallest of things have to be obeyed.

Liam parks the car and gets the boys, walking them to the entrance of the school.

"Ok boys if I don't get any calls about Johnny getting paint in Cindy's hair or Brandon talking back to the teacher I'll take you to the park." The boy's faces lit up. "If you do get in trouble there will be no park for a week and no sweets for a month."

They look at each other, mentally agreeing with one another before nodding their little heads as fast as they can.

"OK daddy!" Johnny says for them both.

Liam quickly kisses their foreheads and they set off to their classrooms and Liam to work.

As he walks to his office he sees some of his coworkers staring at him.

'Did he have something in his teeth? Was he already sporting pit stains? No he had showered and made sure to floss after breakfast.' He thinks to himself.

He quickly gets to his office before a hole can be burned into his back from all the stares. He walks in closing his door as quickly as possible. He turns away from the door to be faced with his boss in his office chair.

"Oh goodness, Mr.Malik you almost gave me a heart attack. I didn't expect you here." Liam says putting a hand on his chest, feeling his heart rate pick up. He quickly picks up his brief case from the floor.

"I am terribly sorry Mr. Payne; I didn't mean to scare you." He nods his head for him to sit down. "I am here to talk to you about your email concerning the numbers on the new project that we are taking on."

"Uh, yes, let me just get my computer going and I can explain to you my concerns." He quickly says remembering he had requested to see Mr.Malik about the upcoming project.

Getting up and moving to the side of the desk that his boss was sat at. He powers his laptop up and is welcomed by a picture of the boys sleeping in the car, both their heads leaning on each other.

"Are those your children." Liam has never been able to get used to how Mr.Malik states things rather than question.

"Yes they are. Johnny on the right and Brandon on the left." Liam says proudly.

"How do you tell them apart."

"Well Johnny was born with blue eyes and Brandon's are brown," he explains "Almost the shade color of yours' sir."

His cheeks burn red as he realizes he had let that slip in front of his boss. He wouldn't lie and say Mr.Malik is unattractive because he is far from it. It's all the women in the office talk about in the break room when they see him on the rare occasions he visits the office.

"Very interesting. Shall we get started." His bosses tone hardens.

Again it's not a question, more of a command that Liam Payne is not going to disobey.
