“Here, I got it.” Harry was trying to make it up to Lara and she hesitated for a moment before letting go of the suitcase and quietly following him up the stairs. And I realized then that these few weeks would be exactly what everyone needed, at least that’s what I hoped. 

(LIAM’S POV)

“Where the fuck is the can opener in this stupid house?!”

“Nora, calm down! Are you sure you’ve looked everywhere?” I wandered into the kitchen after unpacking our bags in the room Nora and I were sharing only to find her frantically searching the kitchen while Harry just looked on from a chair in the little corner kitchen nook. 

“Am I sure? Am sure!? I’m pretty damn sure here Liam! I have been searching this kitchen for an hour!”

“Bout twenty-five minutes actually…” Nora glared daggers at Harry who then resorted to sulking in the corner and muttering under his breath about hormones or crazy girls or both. 

“Okay, well how about I go to the store and buy you a can opener? Would that be alright?” I asked tentatively, knowing how easily she could turn from being perfectly lovely to being a crazed mad woman on a murderous rampage over a missing can opener. 

“You, you would do that for me?” Her lower lip began to quiver and I had to mask my smile as I stepped further into the kitchen, she was so cute when she was like that. 

“Yeah babe, just give me 15 minutes and I’ll be back with a can opener.”

“Oh thank you Liam!” She leapt forward and hugged me like I had just found the cure to cancer… or uhm something else… I was still getting used to Zayn being sick and had to watch my mouth more closely than usual. 

(NORA’S POV)

“Everyone! Dinner’s ready!” I called up the huge staircase as I wiped my hands on the apron that barely fit around my belly. It had taken a while to find everything in the new house but luckily we had brought a few bags of groceries and I had managed to scrape up enough food for the nine of us.

“Yum! I’m starving!” The boys trampled down like a stampede and Lara and Emma soon followed the rest of them down with their arms around Zayn helping him with the stairs.

“You hungry bub?” I took over for the girls, letting them go in and eat while there was still food on the table.

“Starving.” He chuckled as I sat him down in his seat next to Harry, but I couldn’t help noticing the way his arms shook as he lowered himself into his chair. 

“Pass the pasta, no the other one you noob!” Niall yelled across the table while all the boys scrambled to reach the serving bowls in the middle of the table. It seemed like I was always running out of food trying to feed these hungry teenage boys.

“Thanks so much for dinner Nora.” After the chaos that slightly resembled feeding time in a shark tank Paul smiled from his end of the table but I reassured him it was the least I could do, after all he did have to put up with living with all of us for three weeks.

But despite everything dinner together was a nice change, even if it was a little tense at times with Harry and Lara not talking and everyone trying to avoid the topic of Zayn’s condition… okay so maybe it wasn’t a nice change at all.
