Chapter 32: A Very Payne Christmas

A loud yell woke Zayn up from his sleep, making him sit straight up in his bed. He quickly jumped out of bed and ran to Harry’s room. When Zayn opened the door and Harry was nowhere to be seen, Zayn panicked even more. There was another yell that sounded like it was coming from down stairs so Zayn ran down the stairs as fast as his feet could take him. He ran into the living room and stopped when he saw Harry with a large grin on his face. Zayn placed a hand over his heart before letting out a sigh of relief.

“Jesus, I thought you were dying.” Zayn mumbled to himself.

“Zayn look at all these presents! And look!” Harry yelled before running out of the room. He came back with an empty plate, waving it around in Zayn’s face.

“Santa ate all of the cookies too!” Harry exclaimed. Zayn smiled, picking Harry up and pressing a kiss to Harry’s cheek.

“Merry Christmas, Cupcake.” Zayn said. Harry grinned, wrapping his arms around Zayn’s neck in a hug.

“Can we go get Niall and wake up Daddy and Papa?” Harry asked when he pulled away. Zayn nodded his head.

“Of course we can.” Zayn responded. He set Harry down and the two of them went upstairs to Niall’s room. Zayn opened the door and walked over to Niall’s crib, Harry in tow. Niall was sat up in his crib, rubbing at his eyes. When he saw Zayn he smiled, making grabby hands at the teenage boy.

“Zee!” Niall exclaimed. Zayn grinned and picked Niall up, walking him over to his changing table.

“Merry Christmas, little man.” Zayn said as he changed Niall’s diaper. As soon as he was done he put Niall’s Christmas onsie back on and picked him back up.

“All right, let’s go wake up our dads!” Zayn exclaimed. Harry cheered and grabbed onto Zayn’s hand as they walked to Louis and Liam’s room. The trio snuck in very quietly before he told Harry to just go for it. Harry ran to the bed, climbing onto it before jumping straight on Louis and Liam who were cuddled together. There were two loud groans before Harry started laughing loudly.

“It’s Christmas! Wake up, wake up!” Harry yelled.

“Jesus Harry, I think you broke my back.” Liam groaned, rolling over to hold his aching back. Louis chuckled as he sat up and grabbed Harry, pulling him on his lap.

“Oh hush up old man, he’s excited! It’s cute!” Louis said. Louis pressed a few obnoxious kisses to Harry’s cheek, making the boy squirm.

“Merry Christmas, my love.” Louis smiled. Harry grabbed Louis’ hand and smiled up at him.

“Merry Christmas Daddy.” Harry replied. Louis looked over at Zayn and Louis with a curious look.

“Well, aren’t you two gonna join us?” Louis asked. Zayn grinned and got on the bed himself, setting Niall down. Niall crawled over to Liam and plopped himself down on his Papa’s lap.

“Merry Christmas Zayn.” Louis said with lopsided grin.

“Merry Christmas.” Zayn responded.

“So, should we go open presents?” Liam asked. Harry jumped up on the bed, bouncing up and down on the mattress.

“Presents, presents, presents!” Harry chanted in time with his jumps. The older three men laughed and got out of the bed. Liam grabbed Niall and Louis grabbed Harry, the family then making their way downstairs. When they got into the living room, Louis went to work separating the presents into three separate piles. Liam sat with Niall in his lap as they got ready to open presents. Louis sat on the couch with the camera, ready to take about a million pictures.
