Always In My Heart (Sequel To Love Hurts)

Chapter 2

"Zee?."

Zayn knew it was early in the morning. He didn't have to know the time, but it was dawn outside, the time for Harry's rants. Harry is a morning person and doesn't appreciate other non-morning person. He goes for a morning run, shower and comes back to bed...and rant. Zayn care shit about new downward dog yoga positions or whatever.

"Mmm.."

"Are you awake?"

"No.."

"You talking though.."

"M' awake..whatever you want the answer is no"

"You don't even know what I want..."

"No.."

"You say no a lot.."

"And you never do. You don't say no to the kids, I'm always the bad guy. So, that's just in my nature now. I don't know any other word" His time has come to rant.

"Okay, that escalated in the wrong direction...but can you hear me out?"

"Okay, spill..we've got at least ten minutes before the twins crashes here"

The twins favourite time is making pancakes with their daddy on weekend mornings. Harry enjoys seeing them make a mess, Zayn having to clean it, cause Harry is so messy and only sees the good when their kitchen is upside down, while he sees the bad.

"I was thinking, the boys are grown now, they start school next year and you said, your words, to wait till they're big enough to have another baby.."

"No.."

"Please baby, you'll be thirty soon.."

"Thanks for the reminder" Zayn rolled his eyes at being reminded he's getting old. Where have the years gone.

"You're gorgeous baby, you'll be fifty and still look beautiful.." Harry said kissing him.

"Flattery won't get you the answer you want, Styles, but thanks. Still a no "

"Come on Zee, it's not like we can't afford it, I want five a side team..."

"What I can't afford is having my stomach stretched again. Have you seen it, I look like I'm full all the time. Even Niall's stomach look less than this after four course meal. Do you know how many times I had to hold my breath when someone is looking at me. No." Zayn said out of breath, Harry chuckled at him.

"First of all, don't compare yourself to Niall, his belly looks like he's just eaten all the time...which probably is because he's always eating. You are gorgeous baby, I love your little belly, it's cute. But I've always said we can do couples yoga or use that gym membership you've had since the twins were born but never used. You're still paying for it.."

"No to your stupid yoga and... I've tried the gym" Zayn replied avoiding Harry's eyes.

"When?" Harry looked at him amused. Zayn hates the gym. Hates running.

"When you're at work..well, I went once and Liam showed me around"

"That was three years ago, you were drinking a strawberry milkshake the whole time Liam showed you around.."

"How do you know that?"

"Liam told me, he thought it was funny, it was your way of avoiding trying on the machine, he said"

"I tried the treadmill, didn't I? Did he tell you that, huh, since you were discussing my faults"

"For a minute, you tried the treadmill for one minute, Zee."
