Our Brother is a Superhero

"Look what Zee has NiNi." Zayn said as he shook the rattle in front of Niall's face. This caused some giggles to erupt from the baby as he reached out to grab the colourful toy. Zayn was now back to his normal self which was a huge relief for him since Liam hadn't left him alone since he was sick.

Zayn supposed part of it was his fault too since he was so clingy, but he was glad to have his own space back. Picking Niall up, he bounced the baby a few times in his arms, making funny faces and sticking his tongue out from time to time to hear even more giggles.

"What's up, baby bros." Louis asked on entering the room, plopping himself down on the couch with a sigh.

"M'not a baby boo." Zayn huffed as he continued to rock the baby and coo. Louis rolled his eyes as he switched the TV to the sports channel.

"Yeah but you're still my baby brother." He teased as he hadn't given Zayn a break since Oli saw him basically be treated like Harry for a whole night when he was unwell, and there was certainly no forgetting the team lunch where Zayn had napped on Andy's lap. Zayn was absolutely mortified and never wanted to think about those times again, however, Louis, being the considerate big brother that he is, just couldn't let Zayn forget about his embarrassing moments so easily.

"And you're my baby brother." Liam butted into their conversation when he came into the room. "That doesn't mean I go around trying to embarrass you." He finished, giving a pointed look at Louis.

"That's because I don't really do anything that embarrasses myself." He argued with a pout, crossing his arms over his chest like a toddler on the brink of a tantrum. All he was missing was the foot stomp.

"Oh really? What about when you had too much to drink at Oli's house one time and-" Liam started but quickly shut up when Louis threw a cushion at him. When he looked over at his little brother, his face was scarlet.

"Okay, point taken." The younger said through gritted teeth. Zayn was totally confused as to what both were referring to, but if they wanted or needed him to know they'd tell him, so he brushed it off as something that wasn't important.

The truth to the story was last year, Louis had stayed at Oli's house after the boy's 15th birthday party but he might have had one too many juice boxes since Liam got a call from a sobbing Louis at half past four to ask if he could come and take him home. The lad had had an accident in his best friend's house and he was so embarrassed. He had to wake up Oli's mum and everything! The woman was so caring towards the situation, assuring the young boy that it was fine, these things happen, and asked if he wanted to go home or if he wanted to sleep on the couch while she got his sleeping back cleaned.

Louis obviously picked to go home, he had started to feel sick and just wanted his brother. To this day, no one apart from Oli's mum and Liam knew what had happened that night as Oli had been told Louis had to go home in the middle of the night due to a severe tummy ache. Since then, the boy had avoided going over to his pal's house, still not quite over his embarrassment.

"Cheer up Boo." Liam smiled and then approached Zayn who still had Niall. "Hello snowflake, you and daddy are going to a baby yoga class today, how exciting!" Liam cooed as he picked the blonde up, who was already giggling due to Liam's excited voice.

"What the f-" a glare from Liam stopped him in his tracks and made the boy pick another way to phrase his question. "What on earth is baby yoga?"

"Basically does what it says on the tin Boo, it's yoga for parents and babies." Liam said, bouncing Niall up and down as the baby clutched his T-shirt.

"Don't tell me you're going to be doing yoga as well?" He asked with a chuckle. "Oh my, if the lads at footy could hear about this."

"There's nothing wrong with yoga, it's very good for the mind and body." Liam interrupted. "Any more of the laughing and you can just come too."
