As sweet as Sugar

Chapter 12

Was that real? It means he was not dreaming, they were just flashbacks of the day or what? But Niall don't remember getting or getting someone pregnant.

Before he could ask Zayn anything, Zayn attacked his mouth with his sinfully soft lips and kissed him hard. The whole time Niall was worried about hurting Zayn's belly in that crushing hug. Though he was younger of the two, he got worried about Zayn and pulled back.

Cupping Zayn's face in his hands Niall asked, "Be careful Zayn. You should not be so hasty in such condition". Zayn just stared at Niall like he had grown whiskers on his face, but Niall continued, "Who... who did this to you by the way, cause I don't really remember".

Zayn was confused as what was Niall talking about? What condition? Who did what?

"What are you talking about Niall?", Zayn asked finally while pulling Niall into the living room.

"This", Niall gestured to his swollen belly and out of nowhere everybody started laughing. Niall shamefully entered the living room, only to see Liam falling from the arm chair, clutching his stomach and laughing so hard.

Harry was nothing different. He was about to fall on his neck, because of the way he was bent while laughing in hysterics. Then he saw little bundle curled up beside coffee table on the carpet. He could see how Louis was laughing so hard, that his normally tanned skin was almost looking red. He could hardly see Louis' eyes because they were nothing but a narrow bunch of lines on both sides of his cute button nose.

Something jumped up in his heart that something what he said made Louis laugh so hard. That's when he realized that they all are laughing on him; including Zayn who was now fully rolling all over the floor laughing.

Niall just hmphed and sat down on sofa. He waited few seconds for all of them to stop laughing, "Stop laughing you.. you.. beep".

And it gave another fit of laughter to all the boys. Out of all people Niall was never supposed to be short of curses, he is Irish after all.

But when sympathetic Liam stopped laughing and made all the boys stop too, he spoke up, "Niall, what have you been reading these days? Male pregnancies are not real, sweetheart."

"Yeah. And even if I could get pregnant I would not have become this big in few hours. I mean you saw me last night, right? And none of you are Edward, the vampire", Zayn was trying get his breathing normal.

Niall just frowned at them and asked, "Then why are you so big? I mean your stomach?"

Harry could hardly hold back his laugh when he said, "God Niall, are you still stuck on his belly?", then he turned to Louis who was now sitting beside Zayn on the floor and said, "Lou, would you take the baby out of Zayn's belly?"

Louis giggled hiding his mouth behind his tiny palm before nodding and scooting closer to Zayn. Then he put his hand under Zayn's shirt and started pulling. Meanwhile Zayn was making those noises as if he was in his labours.

Niall got worried and almost got up from his seat but he knew better to show his worry after seeing how the boys were cackling like mentals.

Finally Louis pulled out a big pillow from Zayn's shirt and showed it to Niall. As friendly as Niall was with Louis, he ignored him completely and glared at Zayn, "Why did you do this? To make me look like a fool?"

Zayn got up and sat down on sofa before pulling Niall in his lap, "Babe, I was trying to convince Liam to be my personal trainer and that I have become so fat. It was just for fun. It had nothing to do with making you feel like fool, babycakes. I would never ever do that."

Niall looked at Zayn in his eyes, calculatively before whispering, "You sure?"

"Yes darling. Hundred percent sure", and Zayn sealed the sentence with a kiss on Niall's forehead, then his cheeks, his nose and finally his lips.

Liam and Harry just shared a fond look, mesmerized as how sweet the scene was in front of them. While Liam decided to sit beside Zayn and extend the cuddle, Harry glanced at Louis who was staring at the scene on the sofa with a small pout on his lips. The way he was fidgeting from where he was still sitting on the floor, Harry could sense that he was missing all the attention he had just before Niall had arrived home. Now that Niall had all the attention of his three boyfriends Louis couldn't help but feel jealous of him, and that didn't escape from the observation of Harry.

And just like a bulb, an idea lighted in his head. Now he knew how to get these two blue eyed idiots to like each other.
