I hope you guys like it! Don't know when I'll post the next one. Enjoy! :)

The following morning Louis was up at seven in the morning making breakfast and a very special one for Ian who was still asleep. Louis had smiled when he saw he was sprawled like a starfish with his giraffe in his hand and his pacifier right next to it letting him sleep for a bit longer. He was still making pancakes when the door to the garage opened and Harry walked in holding a Monsters Inc. cake and a bag from a pharmacy making him roll his eyes.

"I'm not pregnant." Louis quickly said as he turned the pancake over to the other side so it would cook.

"You don't know that." Harry narrowed his eyes giving him the bag, "Anyway, please go take them and I'll finish cooking here." He smiled in victory when Louis sighed and took them heading to the bathroom.

Almost fifteen minutes later the pancakes were done and he had already set the table trying not to lose his patience when Louis was taking forever. He heard Ian's voice calling for them making his way there seeing his baby holding onto the bars trying to stick his head out through them.

"Happy birthday, peanut!" Harry cheerfully said as he picked him up and gave him a big kiss on the cheek before hugging him all the while Ian basked in all the attention.

"Dahey, hi." He greeted him wrapping his arms around his father's neck.

"Hi baby. Do you want to go see dada? He's in the bathroom trying to find out if you're gonna be a big brother." Harry cooed kissing the side of his head stopping halfway to go back and fetch Ian's giraffe when the baby called for it.

He made his way to the bathroom seeing Louis looking at the four tests before he grabbed them and threw them away without a care in the world. Harry already knew the outcome when Louis was calmly washing his hands then dried them before making his way to them.

"Happy birthday, pumpkin! My god you're already so old." Louis grabbed him to hug him and give him a big kiss that had Ian smiling and trying to kiss his father's cheek, "You need to stop growing!"

"So?" Harry asked as he wrapped his arms around them kissing Ian again who still looked a bit sleepy. He wasn't a morning baby at all now that he was older.

"Negative. All of them." Louis answered feeling a bit relieved not wanting to look like a whale on his wedding day now that it was three months away.

"But in three more months you will be so knocked up by the time we get back from Ibiza." Harry said almost like a promise.

They had changed their honeymoon destination after Louis had seen pictures of Ibiza wanting to go there then had begged Harry for almost an hour until his husband agreed. They would only be there for a week after Anne and Des had agreed to watch Ian since they didn't want to be without him longer than necessary.

"So knocked up I might end up birthing quadruplets." Louis leaned forward to kiss him not wanting to stop anytime soon and when they did, Ian was staring at them.

"I think one will be great...or maybe two. Two is the maximum." Harry kissed his lips one more time then his forehead before he let them go.

They made their way to the kitchen where Louis placed Ian in his high chair making sure to buckle him up then set the tray in place. Harry put the plate of oatmeal in front of him and a few slices of banana since Ian had gotten obsessed with the fruit, sometimes being it the only fruit he would eat. Ian went straight for the bananas but stopped halfway there when Louis poured cheerios right next to the fruit still needing to get him something to drink.

"You better not mash those bananas on the tray again, Edward." Louis told his son still remembering the mess he had made the night before.

"Dada, no no." Ian looked at Louis then the cheerios grabbing one with his thumb and pointer finger putting it in his mouth.

"Now when did you learn that new word, huh? You could barely say hi yesterday." Harry said poking his tummy.

"No!" Ian pushed his hand away pouting as he did so.

"My baby is just too smart." Louis kissed the top of his head already imagining the many awards or trophies their son was going to bring home in the near future.

"Way too smart." Harry stared at Ian watching him carelessly eat his food on his own.

"There's oatmeal too, baby." Louis filled a spoon with it then placed it against his lips smiling when Ian opened his mouth to eat it.

Louis would eat while Ian chewed his food then stop to give him another spoonful making sure not to get it on his chin or anywhere on his face. When Ian had finished the small amount of oatmeal he went straight for the juice then the cheerios humming happily while he grabbed them. He finished all his food always making a mess with the bananas then sat there playing with a toy.

"Gemma called when I was on my way here. Said she'll be here by noon to help you out." Harry informed Louis seeing him nodding.

"Are you going to make the food for the adults or decorate?" Louis asked as he poured syrup all over the one pancake he had yet to eat.

"Whatever you want me to do. What time is Ian's appointment for the pictures?" Harry asked referring to the professional pictures they wanted for Ian's first birthday.

"Its at..." Louis glanced at the clock and his eyes widened seeing the time, "Shit we're late, it's at nine thirty." He exclaimed hurrying up to eat the rest of his food.

He finished in record time and after putting his plate in the dishwasher, he picked Ian up to give him a bath then change him into his brand new clothes. When he was finished, Ian was dressed in jeans, a white shirt with a number one printed on the front and suspenders trying to take off the Converse Harry had put on him. He hated having to wear shoes.

"Dahey no!" Ian had screamed as soon as Harry grabbed the white shoes and started making his way to him.

"You can't go barefooted outside Ian, and I picked them for this special occasion." Harry rolled his eyes when as soon as he grabbed Ian's left foot, his son started kicking.

He ignored his fake cries when he couldn't even see tears and when he was finished he set him down in his playpen making sure to put extra toys in there. Ian started pulling on them until his plastic blocks caught his attention and he made his way there grabbing a bright red one putting it in his mouth.

As soon as Louis and Harry were ready they made their way to the studio hoping to make it on time. They made it just in time when Harry sped up a little then as soon as he had parked, Louis got out of the car and grabbed Ian and his bag seeing Harry following them. They were greeted by a young woman who led them to the back where they would be taking Ian's pictures.

The background was white and on the floor were plastic blocks of many colors and sizes with the number one on all sides. As soon as Ian saw them, he squirmed in Louis' arms dropping his pacifier wanting to get down and play.

"We can start whenever you want to." The woman gave them a nice warm smile.

Louis nodded placing Ian on the carpeted floor who went straight for the blocks. The photographer started taking pictures as soon as Ian stood up holding onto the biggest block looking straight at her.

"He loves having his picture taken, doesn't he?" The woman said.

"Oh you have no idea." Louis chuckled, "He'll even pose for you."

They smiled when they could clearly see Ian was making an effort to stay still while she took his picture. She couldn't help but coo when Ian smiled showing her his tiny teeth making him such a photogenic child. Both Harry and Louis were proud as hell when their son managed to stand up on his own before dropping back down on his little bum.

They had the photographer take pictures of the three of them wanting to have pictures so Louis could put in the family album and on a picture frame in the living room. When they were done, they thanked her and left after paying and she had told them when she would have them ready to be picked up.

"You did such a great job, pumpkin. So well behaved." Louis praised his son as he buckled him up in his car seat.

Ian babbled something unintelligible since he still had the pacifier in his mouth. Louis looked around for Harry after his husband had told him he needed to use the bathroom then went back to looking at his baby smiling when Ian did. He was still focused on him when he felt a hand wrapping around his shoulder making him let out a loud terrified scream scaring Ian in the process.

He didn't hesitate to turn around and slap whoever had touched him as hard as he could, the sound of skin against skin echoing around the parking lot. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he finally recognized Harry standing in front of him clutching his left cheek with both of his hands. He had tears pooling in his eyes due to the hit he had taken and that's when Louis burst out crying ignoring the family of four walking by.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was you!" Louis sobbed lifting his arm up to reach for him then lowered it down again looking down at the ground in shame.

"I'm sorry baby, it was my fault. Shouldn't have approached you like that." Harry forgot all about the stinging sensation on his cheek wrapping his arms around Louis then started rubbing his back.

"I...I thought it was him." Louis confessed admitting that the fear will never go away. Collin had fucked him up for life.

"He's gone baby. I'm so sorry." Harry kissed his right temple then the side of his head.

"Not your fault." Louis said a few seconds later pulling away to look at Harry.

"Let's go home, yeah." Harry kissed his forehead then wrapped his arms around Louis' neck feeling his husband's around his waist and the nod against him.

By the time they were back home Harry was sporting a small bruise showing just how hard Louis had hit him. It only made Louis feel worse and nothing would make him feel better, not even when Harry had told him how proud he was of him for knowing how to hit. He was busy making the food when he heard the doorbell and seconds later could hear Gemma and her kids managing to make him nervous.

"What happened to your face!?" Gemma exclaimed grabbing his face making sure not to hurt him.

"It was an accident." Harry said as they made their way to the kitchen, "I ran into a wall."

"Harry, you're clumsy but not that clumsy. What really happened?" Gemma placed her hands on her hips raising her brow expecting an answer as she followed him to the kitchen seeing her kids already surrounding the playpen.

"Nothing big." Harry shrugged until Louis couldn't hold it anymore and turned around seeing her ready to smack the answer out of him.

"I accidentally hit him." Louis made sure to look her straight in the eye.

"I'm sorry? What...what happened, Lou?" She immediately made her way to Louis seeing the tears pooling in his eyes.

"I scared him in the parking lot when we went to have Ian's pictures taken and he hit me. I told him I had to go to the bathroom and when I came back I grabbed him without him noticing me. It was all my fault, I shouldn't have approached him like that." Harry explained.

"Oh Lou." Gemma hugged him wrapping her arms around him, "How are you feeling?"

"Awful. I gave him a bruise." Louis' answer was muffled by the fabric of Gemma's shirt.

"Babe, I already told you it was an accident." Harry rushed to him and pulled him away from Gemma managing to hide him from view with his body.

"Why don't I cover that up before the rest get here. Dad and mum stayed behind to buy Ian a present and Christian won't get here until his shift is over, don't worry, he'll make it." Gemma said as he rummaged through her bag looking for her make up.

"Make me look pretty, Gemma. I gotta look good for my son's first birthday." Harry made his way to her still holding Louis who chuckled.

"No promises, frog face." Gemma bit her bottom lip to keep herself from laughing.

Harry never let go of Louis while Gemma did her best to cover up the bruise and when she was done, he looked good as new as if nothing had happened. Louis continued making the food while Gemma helped Harry decorate and sometimes entertain the kids.

"You look so handsome, oh my gosh!" Gemma cooed at Ian picking him up and kissing his cheek. "Happy birthday, sugar plum."

"No!" Ian screamed when Gemma kept kissing him.

"No?" Gemma gasped trying not to smile, "Well I don't care, I'm your auntie and I'm going to kiss you as much as I want to."

Ian's whines soon turned into giggles when she started blowing raspberries on his cheeks then set him down on the floor in between Chase and Melissa to take a few pictures of all four kids. When she was satisfied she put her camera away then laughed when Ian stared at Chase and Mason like he always did before going to Melissa trying to climb on top of her.

"Ian be nice to Meli." Harry walked by holding balloons then walked to the kitchen to tie one on Ian's high chair.

Jay and the girls got there later that day holding presents for Ian then went straight to him to wish him a happy birthday. Ian tried to escape his aunts just wanting to crawl around and play with Melissa and the other two that to him looked the same. When Des and Anne got there holding his present, Ian looked at his grandfather before he giggled and speed crawled towards him trying to stand up using his pant leg.

"Happy birthday, champ!" Des picked him up hugging him close to him letting Anne kiss his cheek.

"Happy happy birthday, love. You're getting so old and nana just wants you to stay a baby forever." Anne kissed one of his tiny hands smiling when Ian smiled at her.

Soon Ian started squirming wanting to get back down and play having seen the pile of toys in the living room after Harry had created a safe space for all the kids right in the middle of the living room. Aaron showed up with Gavin and Stephanie half an hour later just when Christian did.

Louis was somehow relieved when Jay and Stephanie greeted each other without a scowl or snide remark even though he could see how nervous Stephanie was. As soon as Gavin saw Lottie, he reached out for her while Lottie was beaming knowing her little brother liked her and Louis watched her take him to the living room where the rest were.

"This is for Ian." Aaron gave Louis a gift bag then glanced at Stephanie who was deep in conversation with Gemma.

"Thank you, dad. Ian's going to love it." Louis smiled at him after seeing what it was, "When is Gavin going to have his birthday party? I forgot to ask you yesterday when I called to wish him a happy birthday."

"This saturday at noon, I hope you and Harry aren't busy." Aaron gave him a hopeful look.

"We'll be there and I'll bring the girls if my mum's not going." Louis said not sure if his mother would want to go even though she was on speaking terms with both Aaron and Stephanie. He then reached for a gift bag giving it to his father.

"Happy father's day." Louis smiled hoping his dad wouldn't cry as soon as he was his teary eyes.

"Oh Lou, you didn't have to." Aaron smiled as he opened it taking out a black box seeing it was a watch.

"Do you like it?" Louis asked.

"I love it!" Aaron hugged him letting Louis put it on just as they heard Ian's screams coming from the living room followed by Gavin's babbles.

"I can't believe they're a year old already, it feels like it was yesterday when they were born." Aaron commented while Louis nodded thinking the same.

"Are you going to have more kids?" Louis dared himself to ask his father not really knowing what to expect.

"I don't think so. I'm already a father to six wonderful kids so...that's enough for me plus I'm not getting any younger here." Aaron chuckled making Louis laugh at his statement.

"You are not that old, dad." Louis laughed.

"No use in denying it, kiddo." Aaron sighed shifting his attention towards the living room when the chattering started getting louder then Ian started crying.

"I'll go see what happened." Louis said giving his dad another quick hug before he made his way to the living room.

Louis came back minutes later with a teary Ian in his arms holding his plush giraffe close to him. He was sucking on his pacifier as he looked around until he spotted Aaron. He stared at him then out of nowhere waved before hiding his face in the crook of Louis' neck wrapping one arm around his neck. He stayed there until he had enough going with Harry as soon as he saw him walking by.

Liam, Zayn and Niall got there almost an hour later and when Louis saw the gifts they were holding he groaned after he had told them not to over do it. Liam was holding one end of a huge box while Zayn was holding the other and Niall was holding another one but a bit smaller. He watched them until they set them down by the door leading to the backyard then went straight for Ian.

"Happy birthday, sunshine!" Zayn got there first taking him from Harry tickling his tummy at the same time he was kissing his cheeks.

"You're getting so old! Why are you growing up so fast!" Niall grabbed him next hugging his nephew close to him, "Happy birthday! Don't you worry, uncle Niall made sure to get you the best present ever."

"Uh no, we got him the best present ever." Liam interrupted him smiling when Ian reached for him taking him in his arms, "Happy birthday, bunny!"

"Hi!" Ian exclaimed pulling on Liam's eyebrows.

"Doesn't matter who got him the best present 'cause the three of us did." Zayn poked his tummy, "Liam, Niall and I got you covered sweetums."

"You guys are going to spoil him." Harry walked up to them with a few drinks in his hands offering them to them.

"I don't wanna hear it, Harry. Let me spoil my nephew as much as I want to." Liam gave him a sour look before he focused his attention back on Ian.

"Then you're going to let me spoil the ones you're gonna have as much as my little heart desires." Harry rolled his eyes wanting to laugh when Liam blushed a deep red.

"Anyway, everybody's here so let's cut that cake and sing happy birthday to the monster." Louis said making his way to the kitchen where everybody else was.

Liam gave Ian to Harry then followed him to the kitchen where Harry set Ian down on his high chair then pushed it closer to the table. Ian's eyes widened as soon as Louis placed a cake in front of him with a single candle then looked up when everybody started singing the happy birthday song. He squirmed in his seat when all eyes were on him then reached for the cake wanting to touch it.

When they were done they all clapped and chuckled when Ian and Gavin did the same from where he was in Fizz' arms. When Louis and Harry reached to help him blow out the candle, Gemma went crazy taking pictures managing to capture one when both parents kissed Ian's cheeks at the same time.

As soon as it was time to open the presents, Harry volunteered by throwing himself in front of Ian quickly picking him up and placing him on top of the table so he was in front of him. He started opening present after present while Louis took pictures knowing Harry just wanted to open the presents.

"You guys got him a playground set and a freaking drum set!" Louis exclaimed as soon as Harry had ripped the paper.

"And the real deal, took me forever to find it." Niall grinned so proud of himself.

"Bro, this is so cool!" Harry pulled on his hair looking more excited than Ian himself when he was minutes away from falling asleep, his head lolling a little to the side fighting hard to keep his eyes open.

"I know right! Let's set it up!" Niall exclaimed.

"Look what uncle Niall got you, peanut." Harry picked Ian up ignoring the frown on his son's face.

"It's time for his nap, Harry." Louis reminded him after he had let Liam and Zayn go outside to set the playground equipment.

"In a bit." Harry shrugged him off, "Peanut look...wake up." Harry insisted poking his tummy until Ian let out a loud wail already frustrated.

"I'm taking him to his bedroom. Thanks for the present, Niall." Louis smiled at him taking Ian into his arms then made his way to his bedroom.

He took a seat on the rocking chair with Ian in his arms and rocked him as he hummed a lullaby until his son fell asleep with the pacifier still in his mouth. He got up and gently set him down in his crib watching him moving a little then settle down with his arms raised by his head. When he got back to the living room, Harry and Niall had already set the drum set then searched for them until he found them outside with Liam and Zayn deciding to join them.

"I told you not to skip the second step. Now you've gone and mess it up!" Zayn yelled at Liam as he read the instructions over and over trying to figure out what had gone wrong.

"I got this, babe." Liam said making sure the colorful pieces did really go together.

Once he was sure, he started putting them together accepting Niall and Harry's help when he started struggling. When they were done, Liam and Zayn looked so proud looking at the colorful playground set standing in the beautiful backyard. They stayed there for a few more minutes until they had to go back inside now that Ian's small party was over, the baby still asleep in his crib without a care in the world.

By eight all the guests were gone leaving them alone and as soon as Ian was awake and bathed, Harry didn't waste time showing him his drum set. Louis watched from where he was sitting on the couch with his camera in hand how Harry placed Ian on the little stool then gave him the drumsticks. Their baby only stared at them then back at Harry and was just about to put them in his mouth when Harry took them away.

"You use them to drum, baby. They're not chewing sticks. Like this." Harry helped Ian hold onto them then started helping him making Ian giggle and get a little bit overexcited.

They continued doing it as long as Ian wanted to the point where Louis was starting to get annoyed but didn't say anything. He had only sighed in relief when it was time to go to bed and as soon as Ian was in his crib fast asleep, he went to bed after taking a shower. He and Harry slept like babies hating having to wake up early the next day for work but did it nonetheless after a small argument over whose turn it was to get Ian ready.

By the time Louis got home, he fed Ian then set him down in his playpen so he could play while he went over the guests list, the invitation next to it waiting for approval from Harry All there was left to do was purchase their suits and their rings to make sure they would fit as well as send the invitations and other things Louis couldn't remember at the moment.

"Dada!" Ian said from his playpen seeing Louis sitting on the couch in front of him.

"Yes, pumpkin?" Louis answered without looking up.

"No!"

"No?" Louis finally looked at him seeing him standing up and holding onto the sides with only one hand now. It made feel so darn proud of his son.

"No no, dahey. Hi, dada." Ian said making Louis chuckle since besides babbling nonsense, those four words were the ones he would say over and over again.

"Daddy's not home yet, pumpkin. He's working with uncle Liam." Louis told him making sure he was speaking loud and clear.

Ian let himself fall back on his bum in a sitting position then started playing with his toys babbling at the blocks trying to fit them into the openings of the container. He would bang it against the top then put it in his mouth whenever it didn't fit just to do it all over again before completely losing interest on them. He got up again having spotted the remote on the tv stand reaching for it and putting it in his mouth, all without Louis noticing since he hated when he chewed on it.

The tv suddenly turned on right on the Thomas and Friends theme song at full volume scaring the crap out of Louis who jumped up startled. Ian giggled as soon as he heard it then stared at the tv while Louis was still trying to calm down with a hand over his chest feeling his heart about to beat out of his chest.

"What in the actual hell." Louis muttered still not knowing what had happened until he saw Ian with the remote in his hand, one end in his mouth and drool all over it.

"I am home!" Harry shouted before he loudly closed the door going straight to the living room walking past Louis heading to the playpen where Ian was already waiting for him holding his arm up to be picked up, "Hi baby!"

"How was work?" Louis asked sighing in relief when Harry took the remote away from Ian and lowered the volume at a reasonable level.

"Awful." Harry answered as he turned around just as Louis let out a loud gasp seeing the black eye Harry was sporting.

"What happened to you!?" Louis got up faster than ever then rushed to Harry's side to see how bad it was glad that his eye wasn't completely shut.

"Some asshole who kept going to work drunk, happened once and I warned him but he kept doing it until I had enough. I fired him, he didn't like it and threw a few punches...nothing bad." Harry shrugged as he made his way to the couch with Ian still in his arms.

"Did you let your dad know? We can't have him coming back, he could hurt you worse than he already did." Louis said getting worried over it completely forgetting about the guest list.

"He was there when I fired him. We were supposed to be having lunch toge- ow don't touch it!" Harry yelled when Louis touched it a little.

"I'm sorry!" Louis exclaimed getting up top get him ice.

He went straight to the freezer grabbing an ice gel pack then grabbed a towel wrapping it around it before going back to the living room hearing Ian's laughs. Harry had him up in the air blowing raspberries on his tummy while Ian couldn't stop laughing holding onto Harry's hair in a tight hold. He let out a loud scream when Harry stepped up his game to the point that Ian's face was starting to turn red until Harry stopped and set him down on his lap kissing the top of his head.

"Here, this will help a little." Louis put the ice over his eye then started running his fingers through his hair, "Oh my poor baby, people always like to mess with you." Louis cooed letting Harry lean his head on his shoulder then kissed him when he looked at him with bright green eyes and puckered up lips.

"They do. They take advantage of me because I am now a grown and mature man with a sexy husband and cute baby." Harry sadly sighed starting to laugh just when Louis did, "It's true! I have responsibilities now, I'm a responsible man."

"You are babe, very very responsible." Louis managed to stop laughing enough to kiss Harry again still holding onto the ice pack.

"They finally sent the invitation?" Harry asked eyeing the envelope on top of their coffee table.

"Yeah, they need the approval so they can print them then we can start sending them out." Louis informed him watching Ian squirming.

"You know, he's soaking wet." Harry said out of nowhere.

"I'll go change him." Louis said letting Harry hold the ice before he got up with Ian in his arms.

He changed him as fast as he could making sure to wash his hands and wash Ian's when he kept touching himself down there even though Louis would lightly slap his little hand away. When he got back Harry had fallen asleep on his same spot and all Louis did was cover him with a throw blanket kissing his forehead. He grabbed the ice pack and headed to the kitchen to start dinner placing Ian in his high chair, he talked to him as he made dinner glad that for once everything was going their way.
