The kids:

••••••
"Awh, would you just look at my little princess!" Louis coos as he admires his daughter neatly dressed up for her birthday.

"Woah," Liam says as he walks in, "such a dainty young lady, I bet she wins all the princes over."

Ana giggles at the attention, covering her blushing cheeks with her chubby hands. "Li-li!"

The servant walks up closer and bows down for the adorable girl, soon getting suffocated in a bearhug.

"See! She loves you more than she loves me, her own mummy!" Louis fakes tears making Anastasia turn quickly and run, as best as she can in her big dress, over to her mother. "Mumma don't cry, I wov you, mumma!"

With that Louis receives a slimey kiss to his cheek.

"Thanks, sweets." Louis cuddles the three year old close.

"Wow May, look at your sister all pretty!" Louis hears his husband's voice and turns to the door of the bedroom.

"Harold! You were supposed to dress him!"

"But Lou, love, I did, see?" Harry smiles, turning with their son in his arms so Louis can admire the two.

"In a nice outfit, Haz, not in jeans and a band tee!" Louis whines. "C'mon baby, let's get redressed. Liam make sure Harry doesn't touch our daughter, while I fix this!"

"It looks so pretty, Louis, I love pink and purple!" Zayn compliments as he takes in the tearoom turned into a lovely three-year-old-birthday venue.

"I know right! Mayden picked the colours." Louis smiles at his son, who was playing with Rowan, Zayn and Liam's youngest child.

"Babies, come here, it's time for cake!" Harry exclaims as he brings in a tall purple cake with lot's of sprinkles and three tiny candles on top.

After the twins blew out the candles everyone got a piece of the delicious treat and as Louis was feeding Anastasia her's, he felt a little, cake-stained hand tug at his shirt. "Mummaaaaa!"

A crying Mayden whines, trying to get his mother's attention. "What's wrong, boo?"

Louis is quick to put Ana in Harry's arms as his husband takes over the feeding. "What happened, babes?"

"Ro- Row- Rowie said my cake's giwly cos it's puw- puwple." Mayden cries into Louis' neck, his hands tugging at his shirt still.

"Oh baby, you're not girly, you're mumma's big boy. You can like purple all you want okay?"

"Weally? I not giwly?"

"Not one bit, love." Louis kisses the boys cheek. "Rowan was just joking, okay? Go back to play with him."

"Okay, mummy." Mayden jumps down from his mother's lap. "Wov you, mumma."

"I love you too, May."

"I want to thank you all for coming here, to celebrate the birthday of our two angels." Louis starts his small little speech. "Thanks for the beautiful gifts, I bet they love it, right babies?"

"Yesh!" The twins shout in sync.

"Well there's one surprise left." Louis smiles at his cheering kids.

"Lou, we already gave our gift right? We only got them one?"

"Ssh Haz, this is a surprise for you too." The small prince giggles. "Well, the surprise is in this small box, go on, open it."

Louis gives the box to Ana, both twins have sport frowns identical to their dad's. Mayden is first to take the lid and slowly pulls it off, revealing the inside of the seemingly empty box.

"Mumma, it's empty!" Ana shouts as she inspects it upclose.

"No, Annie, there's a pish- picsh- photo!"

"Lou?" Harry questions softly as he too sees the picture laying on the bottom of the box. "Is that?"

"You're getting a baby brother or sister!" Louis grins widely. "Surprise!"
