After coming back from their trip from Paris, things have been stressful in the Malik-Payne department. They had to immediately start packing and sending their stuff back to Stowe to start their moving trip as well as handing over the companies and signing Kai up for a new preschool. It was a huge hassle, but thanks to the help of their friends and families, they managed through.

They had a very emotional morning earlier because of saying goodbye to everyone. It hit Zayn harder to say goodbye because he was going to be far away from his family, yet they all promised to come visit during holidays and birthdays.

The couple were seated in the plane, ready for it to take off. Luckily enough for them, Kennette was fast asleep in Zayn's arms and Kai was busy on Liam's iPad, playing games to keep himself busy.

Zayn leaned his back against the seat and closed his eyes. It had been years since the last time he stepped into that town. He couldn't believe he was heading back again. So many things had changed since high school, it was weird to be honest, yet he was happy that he was going back again. Starting over and just living a normal life.

A small smile crept on his lips and he looked over at Liam who was too busy reading a pamphlet. He chuckled, grabbing his hand and gently kissing it, finally gaining the brunet's attention.

"You okay?" Liam chuckled.

"Yeah, I'm great." Zayn responded with a big smile, resting his head upon the older male's shoulder. "I'm just excited to go back home."

"Me too." The twenty-two year old agreed, nodding his head. "Me too."

About a few minutes later, the plane was starting to move. Everyone was seated and the flight attendants did their usual safety routine before sitting themselves down. Soon enough, they were in the air, Zayn's heart beginning to race a little. They were going back home.

Malik-Payne Mansion
Stowe, Vermont

The small family had arrived at their brand new home once they got off the flight. Kai was all excited and hyped when he got out of the car, staring at the mansion with amazement. Even the dogs were excited about their new home considering they had a backyard to play and dig in. Kennette was still sleeping in her carrier, having slept the entire flight and car ride through the town.

Zayn looked around the familiar neighborhood, smiling softly. He walked up to the front door, grabbing the keys from his bag and unlocking it, slowly opening it. He walked into the empty house, Kai and the dogs passing him before chasing each other around the huge house. It was all way too familiar. Memories of him and Toni growing up in the house came flooding back and he couldn't help but chuckle at all the nonsense they made when they were kids.

"I can't believe your parents actually kept the house." Liam suddenly said from behind him, placing the bags down on the side.

Zayn turned around to face him. "I know." He chuckled. "I can't believe I grew up in this huge house." He sighed happily in content, letting his fiancé wrap his arms around him from behind and sway them from side to side gently.

"Yeah, well, now our kids can grow up here." The brunet kissed his neck gently, the younger male giggling.

"Babe!"

"What?"

"Your beard is tickling me." He tried to move Liam's face away, but it was no use. His fiancé kept continuing to tickle him, making zayn squeak and giggle, squirming around in his grip. "Stop." He whined softly, huffing.

Liam grinned and pecked his cheek. He ended up pulling away anyways to get the other bags from the car. Zayn took care of Kennette and placed the carrier onto the familiar kitchen island, humming softly to himself. He could hear Kai's squealing and the dogs barking from the garden, chuckling fondly at that and smiling. He could really picture them raising the kids here, especially the baby which was on the way. Things were finally going right and Zayn couldn't be happier.
