"The end." Zayn said clapping his hands together. He looked at his daughter and son as they stared back.


"That's it?" His daughter Naomi, now 12, said.


"That's the story about you and dad?" James, his 14 year old son also argued.


"Guys, I told you...it's a short story, but every time I tell it, I remember how much I love your dad." He smiled.


"So...why did you wait until now to tell us?" James asked.


"Because there's a lesson in this, that I had to wait to tell you," Zayn explained, "No matter who you love, what you look like, what you do, what you support, where you're from, or...who you are, you are beautiful."


Both of the kids smiled at their dad.


"And your father and I love you," he whispered.


"We love you too dad." Naomi said running up to hug him. Even James, claiming he was all grown up and too old to hug his fathers, came to join them. Zayn held them close, savouring every bit of this moment, before finally saying goodnight to his kids.


He shut the door, and his eyes darted over to Niall, who was in the other room, staring right at him.


"Niall," Zayn said entering their room and crawling under the sheets next to his husband, "I love you so much."


"I love you too..." Niall whispered kissing Zayn's forehead. He ran his hand through Zayn's un-quiffed hair before speaking.


"Remember when you said no one would ever love you?"


Zayn nodded.


"Can we both agree that you were wrong?"


He laughed before moving up in the bed to capture Niall's lips in his own.


He pulled away slowly, his lips now ghosting Niall's.


"Yes. I was so terribly wrong." Zayn mumbled before quickly kissing him again. Niall chuckled and looked out the window.

"Hey babe, look it's snowing." he said. Zayn smiled at this, being that it snowed on the day they got married.

"Hey Ni," Zayn said, "Why did we decide to get married the day after my birthday?"

"So you'd never forget that I love you." Niall cooed before climbing on top of his husband for three years now.

Zayn couldn't contain his smile, but decided not to do anything about it.


Because now he was happy. No more worries, and no more sorrow.


Just happiness.
