Chapter 31: Christmas Eve/Happy Birthday Louis

Louis feels something hard land on top of his body and he instantly thinks he’s dying. He’s dying and ohmygod how is Liam going to handle three kids and a job and the house and holyfuck he’s screwed. It isn’t until he hears loud giggles that he realizes that no, he’s probably not dying. It might just be some happy kids jumping all over him.

When Louis blinks his eyes opens he has Harry is jumping all over his bed and Niall is sitting atop his stomach, smacking Louis’ chest quite hard for such little hands. Zayn is sitting on the bed as well, laughing at the two younger kids as they go crazy. Louis grabs Niall, lifting him in the air and making Niall let out a loud scream. He giggles as Louis holds him over his head before lowering him down to blow at Niall’s stomach.

“DADDY!” Harry absolutely screams, jumping right next to Louis’ side. Louis grabs Harry’s ankle and makes the younger boy fall right on Louis. Harry laughs hysterically as Louis groans in pain.

“Ouch, okay, that wasn’t a good idea.” Louis mumbled. Zayn grins and scoots closer to the bunch.

“Happy Birthday Lou.” Zayn greets, leaning over to hug Louis. Louis sits up and returns the hug, pressing a quick kiss to Zayn’s cheek.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!” Harry yells as Louis winces.

“Harry babe, thank you, but you don’t need to yell.” Louis laughs and Harry just shrugs.

“But it’s your birthday! It’s a special day!” Harry whines, grabbing onto Louis’ hand and shaking his arm. Louis cannot help but grin.

“Well I’m glad you’re so eager to celebrate. Come here and give me a proper cuddle, my little baby boy.” Louis coos. Harry huffs but moves to hug Louis anyway.

“I’m a big boy. Not you’re baby.” Harry mutters into Louis’ chest. Louis pushes Harry’s hair back to kiss his forehead.

“Always be my baby. Even when you have babies of your own.” Louis mumbles against Harry’s head. He’s really trying hard not to get emotional right now. He’s getting older, that’s not a secret, but so are his kids. They’re growing up each and every day and Louis’ really not ready to let go of them.

“Looks like the birthday boy is up.” Liam’s voice calls out. Louis looks over to the door to see Liam with a tray of food. Louis smiles and nods, moving Niall off his lap to make room for the tray. Liam sets the tray down on Louis’ lap and presses a kiss to his lips. Liam pulls away far too quickly for Louis’ liking but there are kids in the room and he doesn’t want to scar his children.

“32, huh? My husband is getting so old.” Liam jokes and Louis’ gives him an offended look, placing a hand on his chest dramatically.

“You must be talking about a different husband then. I’m not a day over 21.” Louis sighs and Liam chuckles.

“Don’t look a day over 21.” Liam compliments and Louis rolls his eyes. He has a mirror, he knows he looks quite a bit older than 21 years old.

“Flattering me to get in my pants tonight?” Louis asks with a cheeky smile.

“I thought birthday sex was a given.” Liam winks and Zayn groans.

“Ugh. I thought that maybe you two would have sex tonight, but I didn’t need any confirmation.” Zayn says with a disgusted face.

“Sorry, Zee.” Louis shrugs, going to take a bite of the French toast that Liam made.

“Better not hear you.” Zayn mumbles and Liam laughs.
