Liam couldn't quite figure out what was going on with his oldest daughter, but there was definitely something up. Keira has been giggly and practically floating since Liam picked the twins up from school. "What is up with your sister, hmm?" Liam hums to Aiden as he feeds the infant a bottle, obviously he doesn't get a response.
"Dad? When's Papa home?" Keira asks as she flops down on the couch beside Liam where he's feeding Aiden. "I need to ask you guys something?" the thirteen year old adds, as she coos at her baby brother.
Liam glances over to the clock to check the time, "Papa said he'll be home around six, so in about twenty minutes, Love" Liam answers switching the six month old in his arms to burp him after Aiden finishes the bottle.
"Daddy,can I watch TV, please?" Hayden asks coming into the room, the five year old having disappeared as soon as Liam brought the kids all home, "I'm bored" she adds batting her eyelashes at Liam as she pouts.
"Yeah you can but just until Papa comes home okay?" Liam asks and Hayden grins as she nods, passing Liam the remotes to turn everything on for her. "Where are your brothers?" Liam asks, both of his daughters as he flips the TV to the Disney Channel for Hayden.
"Kendall's doing homework and Jaxon was reading in his room when I came downstairs" Keira offers as Hayden climbs into her lap to watch her show.
"Should you be doing homework?" Liam asks, getting up to settle Aiden in his swing, but Keira shakes her head at him.
"No Dad, I already finished mine" Keira answers with a smile and Liam nods before heading out to the kitchen to check on the lasagna he's making for dinner.

After dinner's over Liam chuckles as Zayn catches Jaxon before the ten year old can disappear back upstairs, "Jax it's your night to help clean up, c'mon Big Guy" Zayn hums, leading their middle child towards the sink, as Jaxon groans.
"Papa do I have to" Jaxon whines, even as he starts loading plates into the dishwasher once Zayn's rinsed them.
"Yes, you have to J, c'mon it won't even take that long" Zayn laughs passing the boy another plate, which Jaxon takes with a groan.
"Papa? I need to talk to you and Daddy when you're done, please" Keira asks with a pout.
Zayn and Liam are instantly suspicious at Keira's use of the word Daddy, the thirteen year old only ever calling Liam Daddy and not Dad when she wants something that she doesn't think her dads will agree to.
"Okay Love, Dad and I will come find you when we're done here, okay?" Zayn asks furrowing his eyebrows at the girl who grins and nods as she skips out of the room. "She's up to something right, like that was weird?" Zayn asks turning to look at Liam.
Liam nods as he finishes wiping down the table, "definitely up to something" he murmurs tossing his cloth into the sink as Jaxon loads the last of the dishes into the dishwasher.

"So we're agreeing Liam, that no matter what she tells us we're not going to overreact, right?" Zayn asks, once the husbands have made their way up to Keira's room.
It took a little longer to get to Keira than they planned because Aiden was having an absolute meltdown that took both men awhile to calm him down. In the end it was thirteen year old Kendall to the rescue, the oldest making the infant giggle until he calmed down enough that Zayn and Liam felt comfortable leaving him downstairs with Kendall, Jaxon, and Hayden as they watched TV.
"I never overreact" Liam grins reaching out to knock on Keira's door. "What I don't" Liam huffs when Zayn just arches an eyebrow at him. "Okay, fine I promise I won't overreact" Liam groans when Zayn just keeps staring at him.
