Always In My Heart (Sequel To Love Hurts)

Chapter 57- part 2

Zayn sat up tired of where the narrative was leading to him being a judgemental prick as Brooklyn said. Shawn was mad hands on his waist mad, he would have entertained him a bit, but not today. His headache was calling the shots. So with that in mind, he managed to stand with Alfie attached to him like a koala bear. With Niall and Brooklyn as his parents it was only inevitable the little boy will be obsessed with Zayn, or maybe the fact they spent too much time together. Zayn is his unofficially babysitter when Brooklyn is at work.

"You have clearly taken sides with your brother, so I'm going to make it easy for you. What he said.."

"Why is it so hard for you to get where Brooklyn is coming from, huh? You don't give him the credit he deserves.."

Zayn chuckled bitterly shaking his head, "You don't even know why we're having disagreements, Shane-"

"Shawn. It's not that hard, Zayn"

"Okay, Shawn, this will have to continue another time. I've got a headache and my husband is about to hit the floor any minute.." Harry was heavy on Niall no doubt, slumped all over him, "Ni, come on, to bed" Niall raised a brow at him, "let's take him to bed.."

Niall had one arm supporting Harry before his wheelchair turned around smoothly, with three years of practice he was a pro..

"Yay" Harry lifted his head for a second and dropped it again.

Zayn smiled, and turned to Louis,  "Take Alfie for me.." he handed him the little boy, but Alfie was having none of that clinging tightly to Zayn.

"I can help with Harry.." Louis offered, seeing Alfie will not budge..

"Take care of your boyfriend. I can manage with Haz.." he gestured with his eyes to Shawn as he glared at him.

Ed stepped forward with his hand up, "I can help.."

Zayn thanked him, pointing the obvious way to the bedroom to Niall, there was only one way to go anyway..

"Zayn-"

"Not now, Shawn.." Louis intervened before he could go any further.

Shawn looked at Louis, then clenched his jaw controlling his anger, "okay, fine. Not now, but we have to talk..Give me him.." Shawn said taking Alfie from Zayn..

"N..no.." Alfie stuttered kicking him.

"This again?" Shawn said in disbelief, his nephew was no traitor but he kicks him whenever Zayn is around, "Niall, don't take long we have an appointment remember?" He saw him nod as he turned a corner in his wheelchair.

"I do lots of yoga, Zayn, my core is tight. I can lift Harry, you know, bridal style" Ed said looking at Harry's sleeping figure.

Zayn shook his head at him, "I've been here long enough to know my husband will break your back" he hoisted Alfie up in his arms again, either Alfie was getting heavy or Zayn was just tired. "Haz, wake up babe" he gently stroked his cheek but Harry's light were out.

"I can..do it.." Niall stuttered using both his arms to push himself and Harry up, but Zayn slapped Harry awake, Alfie copied him. Harry shot up standing disorientated, Ed grabbed him when he stumbled backwards towards Niall.

"Thanks, Ed" Zayn said as he helped  tuck Harry in bed, then smiled looking at Niall, "Have you got your suit for tonight?"

"Yes..we have everything" Niall said a wide smile on his face.

"Is that right?" Zayn asked looking at Ed.

"Yes, bossman. Tonight will be perfect"

"Can you stop calling me that, Ed? You making me sound old and I'm not your boss anymore.."
