This is a joint one direction zouis family sickfic, which I wrote with @ilangel1 and we've been working on it for a while. We hope you enjoy it. A bad bug hits the Tomlinson - Malik family starting with Harry but due to him having an illness called Ulcerative Colitis his parents can't decide if it's a bug or his illness causing his symptoms, although once Niall also begins to show the same symptoms their question is soon answered. From their as soon as one family member recovers someone else seems to catch the bug even if Zayn and Louis do try to contain it from spreading. Zayn know as Papa - 36 years old Louis know as Dad/Daddy - 34 years old Liam - 12 years old Harry - 12 years old and suffers from ulcerative colitis and due to this has a very weak immune system Niall - 5 years old and has a development delay. As a result still wears nappies and attends a special school. Other family members include Tricia - Zayn's mum Ash - 34 years old and is Zayn's younger sister Zack - 13 years old and is Ash's eldest but tends to worry a lot Izzy - 8 years old and is the youngest child of Ash. Is the only girl out of all the cousins but doesn't mind and gets on extremely well with Niall.
