"I've Got A Family To Take Care Of" - Zayn Malik

You slowly made your way out of the bed, feeling more tired than ever. Being pregnant with your 3rd child was taking its toll on you but you were fully determined to make this birthday special for the twins, especially with Zayn being gone on tour. Plus, it was their lucky birthday and they were turning six years old. Zara and Zayn (Jr.) were still asleep while you were making chocolate chip pancakes for them, their favorite. As soon as those were done you went to wake them up. "Happy Birthday Baby" you smiled, opening the door to Zara's room. "Thank you Mummy" she smiled, kissing your cheek, jumping up and down on her bed. Zara was never grumpy in the morning, it was Zayn who you had problems waking up, inheriting the sleeping trait from his sleep loving father. "Let's go wake up your brother so we can have breakfast" you smiled, heading to his room with your daughter trailing behind you. "Happy birthday Zayn" you smiled, shaking your son gently awake. He mumbles something in his sleep and turns over, snuggling into the covers once again, you sigh once before speaking softly, "c'mon baby, it's time to wake up", kissing your son on the forehead. "Just a bit more sleep mummy, please..." Zayn mutters, snuggling his head against his pillow. "If you wake up now we can call daddy on the computer Zayn" his sister whines, slapping his cheek furiously. Zayn quickly shot out of bed and ran downstairs hand in hand with his sister. You smiled at your adorable children before arranging the bed and walking downstairs.

You poured coffee into a cup and slowly took a sip before your son came running up to you, "c'mon mum, we have to call dad" he whined, grabbing your hand, dragging you in front of the laptop set on the coffee table in the living room. You opened Skype, pressing the call button, waiting for Zayn to accept the call. Your kids couldn't stop bouncing in anticipation to speak to their father. "Happy birthday guys" Zayn chirped as his face glowed through the screen. You smiled at him and took another sip of your coffee. "Hi daddy" your kids said in unison. "How old are you now? 2?" Zayn laughed. "No silly daddy, we turned six" Zara protested, showing him the number six with her hands. "Alright whose ready for presents?" You smiled, picking up two bags from the floor. "Me, me, me" they screamed as the baby started kicking from the loudness. "Shhh.... Your scaring your little brother or sister" you said, quietly, handing them their presents. They opened them rapidly and the smiled, clearly loving their new presents. "Thank you mummy, thank you daddy" they smiled, kissing each of your cheek and then to the camera. Zayn blew a kiss back as your kids scampered off to eat breakfast and get ready for their birthday party. "Hey babe, you alright?" Zayn asked. "Yeah, not too bad. How's the tour?" You smiled, although Zayn knew you all too well to see you're exhausted and needed a break. "What's wrong?" Zayn asked again, completely ignoring your question. "We just miss you. I can't handle everything on my own anymore Zayn, I'm exhausted and I don't know how longer I can keep up with all of this" you said, gesturing to your kids, happily munching away in their pancakes. You smiled at them, you truly did love your kids and would do anything in your power to keep them happy but you couldn't deny that they were a handful, true troublemakers. "I know, I'll be back soon to help, I promise" Zayn said, forcing a smile. "I know you will and I love you for that" you replied. "I've have to go to rehearsals, speak to you soon yeah?" You nodded your head in response before saying your 'I love you's" and shutting off the laptop.

You got your kids ready for the party and left everything to your mother from there, leaving her to take care of the party. She knew how much damage stress can cause to the baby, so she didn't let you do a thing. You were having a chat with one of the mums there, starting to have a good time, and letting your worries slowly leave your mind. "Mummy, mummy, look! I'm a princess" Zara smiled, tugging on your jeans. "Ahh! And what a beautiful princess you are baby" you chirped, kneeling down to her level as best as you can, pecking her forehead. "Mummy, daddy isn't coming is he?" She mumbled, getting teary eyed. "Don't cry Zara, it's your birthday. Listen, your daddy loves you and your brother to the moon and back. He loves you so much and he felt very bad for not being here with you on your special day, but he couldn't do anything about it. He had to work to give you guys anything you need but he'll be home very soon okay?" You said sadly, hugging your sobbing daughter, stroking her long black hair in comfort. You wiped a tear that feel out of your eye, wishing that your daughter would stop crying cause you hate seeing your kids in pain. "And he'll be home sooner than you think" someone said from behind you, instantly knowing who it is. Your daughter looked up at the person before screaming, "DADDY!" She squealed hugging her daddy, as he scooped her up and held her close. "I missed you daddy" she smiled, kissing her his cheek. "Mum, look what the magician th....." Zayn (Jr.) started to talk as he stopped to stare. "Dad..." He mumbled, shocked that his dad is standing in front of him, whom he hasn't seen in 3 months. "Dad!" He screamed, getting out of his trance. He run to his father, as Zayn picked him up. "Hey Buddy" he smiled widely after seeing the joys of his life. He spoke to them for a little while, before they left to enjoy their party and friends. He came up from behind you, wrapping his tattooed arms around your waist, slowly kissing your neck, "I missed you" he mumbled against your skin. "I missed you too but what are you doing here?" You said, turning around to face him. "I could see it in your eyes how much you wanted me here so I couldn't let you down" he smiled, stealing a kiss from your lips. "Won't you get in trouble?" You asked. "Nah. The boys and management understood where in coming from. I've been gone for too long. I'm here for next 2 weeks until the kids go back to school then I'll finish the tour and I'll be back for the birth of this little thing...", rubbing your belly, "...and I'll be here to enjoy the first year of his or her life before you go back on the road once again"

"You got it all figured out don't you Malik?" You laughed, squeezing his hand. "I want to be here for you and them so I needed a plan" he shot back. The party was soon over and you thanked your mum and dad for all the help. You and Zayn quickly cleaned the rest of the things before sitting down in the sofa whilst Zayn put your tired kids to bed. You were mentally planning the trip you were making to Bradford to visit Zayn's family whilst he's back home from tour and you were excited to see them all again. "They're finally asleep" Zayn grumbled, sliding under the covers, cuddling with you in bed. "You're an Amazing father Zayn" you said. "And I couldn't do it without you. You're perfect to me Tianna and I love you with all my heart. You're my other half and you made my life complete and you have given me everything I've ever wanted and I wouldn't know what I'd do with myself if I ever lost you" he rambled. You slowly pressed your lips to his before speaking, "you're and amazing father and even better husband. I love you too Z" you smiled, before smashing your lips back together. If these moments keep happening, you'll end up with a whole lot of kids. Oh God!

This was so much fun to write so hope you enjoy it Tianna :)
