"This is nice"

Harry was looking around at the lovely suburban houses as they drive past. They were on the way to Liam's flat. It was Liam's birthday/housewarming party, and it was midweek. Harry complained to Zayn that Liam could have waited till weekend when their parents where able to babysit at least. Zayn told him 'you're just mad you can't drink as much as you want'. It was true he can't drink as he would like, there's work tomorrow. Zayn was driving, so at least they will be some drinking. Harry was sitting at the back with Yazz, their baby girl.

"It is a nice neighbourhood, isn't it?" Zayn said.

"Liam has done good..." Harry said putting his phone down after taking pictures of his baby girl and some selfies.

"You are aware he doesn't actually live in one of these houses, right babe?" Zayn said chuckling a bit,

"Yeah..yeah, I know that. I mean he did good for choosing this area to live, it's quite nice and quiet, you know...good for family.." Harry sighed looking out of the window,

"Yeah.?"

"I can see us living in one of these houses"

"Yeah.." Zayn agreed,

Harry started working for Yaser and has settled in quickly, it was a friendly environment. Everyone in the office has kids, they don't mind his 'Yazz updates' and countless pictures he shows them. He's been thinking of buying a house with a big garden and surprise Zayn, he may have mentioned it to Yaser who thought it was a brilliant idea. His salary is three times than he was making at Ben's pub, so they can afford it. He looked over at his baby girl, she was getting big and they will soon need the space. She was nearly seven months old, quite a handful lately and she's teething. The health visitor told them about the signs of teething and given leaflets about things to do to ease that. Anne and Trisha took Harry shopping to buy some teething toys, but Yazz prefers biting her fingers and everyone else's and growling all the time. Harry has stopped wearing his rings as a result. And she is far from irritable, the opposite, starting to crawl around and would flip herself on her stomach planning her escape.

"Yazz...omg, my phone...give it to me babe" Harry made a face looking at his wet phone, full of baby drool...when did she even take it. He bent down looking for a wet wipe in the baby bag behind the driver's seat.

"Owww....let go, babe. Yazz let go off my hair babe. Zee, help here...she's pulling my hair, oww oww" Harry was trying to remove her tiny destructive hands from his hair, but she seem to be spitting in his hair.

Zayn looked at his rearview mirror, and laughed when he saw Yazz had a firm grip on Harry's hair and she wasn't letting go. She was just pulling and growling, drooling all over Harry's hair. He wished he could stop and take a picture or a video its was just so funny.

"I'm driving, how am I supposed to help Haz?" Zayn said laughing at Harry wiggling his fingers all over the baby's arms, tickling her but she smiled and pulled again leaned down for a bite.

"You can help by not laughing, it's not funny...owww"

"Not from where I'm sitting...told you you need a trim.."

"No trim. ...I thought you like my hair long" Harry said tugging his hair from her grip,

"I do...I like your baby Tarzan look you got going on, but you need a trim, babe or at least have it in a ponytail"

"No trimming... Yazz you need to stop pulling daddy's hair babe, it's not nice"

Harry said giving her a toy to chew on having managed to free himself,

"Well if daddy cut his hair then it won't be a problem.."

"Oh God Zee..." Harry said eyes closed, Zayn started using the word daddy during foreplay.

"What's wrong daddy..?" Zayn said innocently,

"Stop baby..I can't have a b.... with my daughter present"

"You can't have what?..b..what is that?"

"You know what I mean..."

"What, a boner..?"

"Zayn!!!! You can't say that word infront of our baby..." Harry whispered covering the baby's ears, and having to duck when she nearly scratched him.

"Why not? she doesn't know what I'm talking about, Haz"

"She does...she's listening and storing the words in her mind.."

"What? Storing the words? What she's gonna do, Google what they meant huh..? Could explain why she took your phone then.." Zayn was laughing at him as they arrived at Liam's flat. "We're here.."

"Thank goodness.." Harry said pulling his hair into ponytail, Zayn rolled his eyes looking at him, he needs a hair cut.

"The Styles family is here!!!" Liam said shouting opening the door, he was drunk already, "Harry, Zayn and princess Jas...welcome to my castle"

"Hi Liam.." Zayn said smiling while Harry groaned, as Liam took Yazz cooing, showing her to everyone.

"The Styles family!!!" Niall shouted as well, drunk, beer in hand coming for a hug,

"Niall..come on careful mate" Harry was still wearing his suit from work and pushing Niall off him. He looked around the room, seeing some of Liam's colleagues talking and drinking, some faces he didn't know and....Louis.

"Hi Louis.." Harry said nodding walking towards him.

"Harry...Zee" Louis said nodding back, Zayn waved at him, following Liam and the baby.

Things have 'thawed' between him and Louis, a bit. Their families had noticed a shift in their friendship especially Harry and Louis's, Louis's bruised face was a confirmation something was up. Harry told his mom what happened and she advised to sort things out with Louis. Zayn and Louis had talked about his sexuality, he said he's definitely straight, he's just confused when it comes to Zayn as he feels something for him. He's doesn't think its necessary in a romantic way, but it could be because he does care so much for him and he's not attracted to any other men though. But he feels Harry is taking Zayn away from him and he's jealous at times of how close they are. He respects their relationship and is happy that they are a family. He's always been Zayn's anchor and it's hard to watch someone else take over. He loves Eleanor he said and they are official now. Zayn initially distanced himself from Louis, more for Harry's sake and Harry hated to see him miserable without Louis. He swallowed his pride and invited Louis to dinner as peace offering. They talked it out in the end, the three of them. Trust and boundaries...they have to work on that.

"Liam given you a tour yet...this is a nice place isn't?" Harry asked taking off his coat off sitting down, beer in hand, Niall sitting next to him. Sophia brought some beers for him and Zayn had declined as he's driving.

"No..not yet. Maybe later, but this is a nice place.." Louis said nodding.

Harry watched Liam introduced Zayn to two of his work colleagues, or gym buddies, they were looking quite buff, full of tattoos. They were smiling at him and playing with the baby.

"You're growling Haz.." Niall grinned at him, Harry was about to answer but was cut off by Louis gasping, "No way.."

"What...?" Harry asked looking at him, Louis just pointed at the door, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Jake and Shawn, they've just came in together.

"What have we here..then?" Louis smirked,

"The fuck..?" Harry asked, Niall giggling hiding his face behind Harry's back,

"Are they friends? when did that happen?" Louis asked him,

"I don't know, you work with Jake,mate. You tell me? Where did they even meet..?" Harry was just surprised,

"Exes anonymous.." Louis said jokingly,

Harry laughed out so loud, Niall joining in, they were all over each other, even Louis chuckled a bit. Everyone looked at them, as Niall cackled so loud, Harry in fit of giggles, Zayn just smiled trying to hide his surprise when he saw Shawn.

Shawn walked over to Zayn, smiling holding his hand out to him, "Zayn..right??"

"Yeah..Shane?," Zayn shook his hand fake smile on his face, he turned Liam around so the baby was facing Shawn, not giving him time to answer, "This is my daughter Yasmeen.."

Louis smiled shaking his head as Yazz pulled Shawn's hair, when he seemed to have a moment of silence looking between a laughing Harry and the baby.

As it turned out Shawn was friends with one of Liam's buff friends, him and Jake were not together. Harry watched annoyed as the said buff friends seem to gravitate towards a smiling Zayn, looking on as Liam pointed at Zayn's tattoos talking quite dramatically, baby on his hip. When Sophia came with the cake and everyone was singing happy birthday, Harry took a chance to introduce himself, wrapping his arm around Zayn's shoulders,

"Harry, Zayn's husband...can I borrow him for a bit?" Zayn raised an eyebrow at him, but nodded along.

Harry kissed him full on the mouth, arms around his waist, as they sat down, Zayn on his lap. They watched an excitable Yazz furiously kicking her feet at Liam, lunging forward looking at the cake as an even more excitable Niall was watching Liam blowing the candles.

"He'll be a good father.." Zayn said looking amused at Liam who seem to be showing a dribbling Yazz how to blow the candles,

"What about me then?..I'm about to be one.." Louis smirked looking at Harry.

"Say what...?" Harry cocked his eyebrows at him,

"Are you saying what I think you're saying, Lou.?" Zayn was blinking looking at him.

"It depends what you think I'm saying babe...oww Zee." Zayn punched his shoulder cutting him off,

"What the fuck are you saying then..?"

Zayn daren't say it,

"Eleanor is pregnant...six weeks gone."

"Congrats mate.." Harry said patting his thigh.

"I'm not supposed to say anything until the three months mark, so you technically don't know yet. So you can't tell anyone...ok Harry" Louis said tilting his head at him,

"Why me? Zayn might say something... I won't tell anyone.." Both Louis and Zayn tilted their heads at him, "Ok...I won't tell Niall.." he sighed, both laughing at his pouting face.

"I'm about to join your lifeless life. Oww Zayn can't you stop fucking hitting me?"

"Our life is not lifeless thanks.." Zayn said putting his arms around Harry's neck.

"Sorry, babe..I'm just playing with you. But yeah..I'm about to join the daddy gang.."

"Mmmm..." Harry groaned biting Zayn's shoulder.

"Congratulations, Lou. I'm happy for you, really happy for you. You're happy?" Zayn leaned for a one arm hug, Louis squeezed his waist.

"Yeah I'm happy, babe. Our Yazz is about to have a playmate, we can't have her hanging with grown ups all the time now can we..?" Louis said kissing his cheek.

"Don't worry about my baby girl, she's about to have her own brother to play with soon.."

Zayn almost snapped his neck looking at Harry so fast when he said that,

"Fuck..no. Absolutely not!!!" Zayn near screamed at him as Louis laughed out loud,

"Why not..?" Harry whined burying his face on Zayn's neck,

"You're not being serious are you, Haz?" Zayn frowned, hands on Harry's face forcing eye contact.

"Please...baby" Harry said turning Zayn around so he was straddling his hips, and kissed him.

"Not yet Haz...yeah, I would love another child but not now, babe. Let's wait till Yazz is old enough..."

"Old enough to babysit you mean..." Harry said pouting as both Zayn and Louis laughed at how ridiculous he was,

"We'll talk about it later, babe" Zayn kissed his pout, "Let Louis have his moment, he's about to join the daddy gang" Zayn was trying to move from Harry's lap but he didn't let go squeezing his ass.

"Say it again..baby"

"Say what..daddy?" Zayn whispered licking his earlobe,

"Whatever you fuckers are thinking of doing you better cut it off, before you end up on amateur porn sites" Louis said looking at Liam's buff gym buddies staring at Harry's hands on Zayn's ass.

"There's nothing amateur about what I'm about to do if they don't take their eyes off your ass.." Harry said gently pushing Zayn off his lap, standing up.

"It's past Yazz's bedtime..how about we call it a night yeah," Zayn said arms around his waist, kissing him.

"Yeah..." Harry said kissing back.

"Lifeless life you have" Louis mumbled finishing his beer, "Ok..let's go" he then said getting up.

_

"Louis...?" Harry looked on at Louis getting out of the car, he reached his hand out at him, palms up.

They've just pulled outside Louis's flat, they gave him a lift after saying their goodbyes and happy wishes to Liam.

"Oh yeah.." Louis said hand digging in his pocket, for what Harry had asked for earlier that day,

"Thanks.." Harry said closing his hand on the keys. Keys to Zayn's and Harry's flat.

Setting boundaries.
