Always In My Heart (Sequel To Love Hurts)

Chapter 49

"For goodness sake Harry what you done?" Zayn asked annoyed.

Zayn had arranged for a photographer to come to their house for a portrait of his beautiful children. They've used the photographer before, not that he don't trust them to do a good job Zayn directed how the kids stood himself.

The three older kids, Yazz, Elijah, Mason at the back and the youngest Amelia, Toni and Maddy at the front.

And if he's being honest the arrangement was for the oldest to make sure the youngest ones stay put. And it worked when Yazz had put both her hands on the ever fidgety Amelia's shoulders to keep her still, the boys had copied her and did same with their little sisters.

He did have to tell to relax their arms as it looked like they were strangling them. But he'd just gone to get his camera and Harry had added his own taste changing Zayn's direction. Their kids were now in a bloody pyramid.

"Are you kidding me, Harry?" Zayn's annoyance was subdued by the giggles from his kids. At least they think it's funny, "No way I'm not having a portrait of my kids in a bloody pyramid as the centrepiece in my lounge" he said grabbing his little girls off their big brother's backs, "get Amelia before she jumps, Harry, will you?"

"They looked cute though, Zee.." Harry pleaded, "just one pic, please"

Zayn looked at the photographer he trusted them to knock some sense into Harry and intervene at least, but the lady avoided eye contact busying herself with the stand of the camera..

"They look cute, Zayn.." Mary added.

"To a family of clowns, yes.." Zayn huffed lifting the twins up his arms, they were getting bigger for sure, "Harry, I said get Amelia.." he said when Amelia did a roll on her big sister's back and was on her way to the floor..

"I got her, dad. I won't let her fall" Yazz said catching a giggling Amelia. "We've done this before..never ever.." she changed her tune seeing Zayn's horrified face.

"All of you get up.." Zayn said putting the twins down, he stood admiring his work after arranging them to their original positions and looked at the photographer because why was she not getting on with it. His kids will only hold that position less than a second before they face opposite directions again. She nodded at him and started clicking. "Mary, I trust you I'll be back."

Zayn said walking to the kitchen. The cast on his arm had long been off but his arm bothers him every now and then. That's from carrying everyone, literally. He went back after taking two paracetamol, that took him longer to do, he hates tablets. Not only did he have to break each, but each half tablet was washed down with half glass of juice. So, two glasses of juice later..

"What's wrong with this?" He asked looking at his kids confused. How long was he in the kitchen. Their sequence was off, again. "Harry what did you do now?"

"Nothing, I swear, baby."

"Shut it.." Zayn walked over to fix them again, no wonder his arm was painful. "Okay, three at the back, three at the front how hard can that be?" So, he went on to show Harry. "Yazz, Elijah, Mase, Amelia, Maddy, em.." he frowned at the child smiling at him, did he take the stronger meds by mistake and was seeing things? "Jamie?"

"I told Harry the orders were off, he didn't listen. It should be Bella, Jamie, Amelia then Maddy and Toni.." Louis said helping Zayn perfect the order. "There it looks better already. You can continue.." he said to the
photographer.

"What just happened?" Zayn looked at Harry and Mary.

"Excuse me, laundry is waiting" Mary said pointing towards the kitchen and cited quickly
