twenty-six: year one

August

"Are you alright Lou?" Harry asks, looking over at his friend who was staring out the window as Harry drove them both to Yorkshire. Louis hadn't really said much to Harry since he'd picked him up from his home an hour or so before. Harry and Louis were both moving down to Yorkshire, having Harry with him was one of Louis' terms with Yaser. Louis knew he wasn't really in the position to make demands, but he needed Harry's help... especially because his mum wasn't going to be around as often as he'd like. She didn't like the idea of relying on Yaser, and Louis understood that... So Louis couldn't exactly blame her.

"Yeah, just tired is all. Thanks for doing this with me Harry..." Louis says finally, looking at his friend who just shrugged.

"You're my best friend Lou and you need my help... I'd do anything for you, you know that." Harry says, smiling at Louis. The drive wasn't a long one from their native town of Bradford, so the conversation died down when Harry pulled up to the rather large country home. Louis felt a little nervous as Harry turns off the car, he wasn't sure what to expect... Harry opens his car door for him and together the two boys walked to the front door. Louis took from his pocket the small key Yaser had given him before he stuck it into the door. He took a deep breath before opening the door and stepping inside. This was his new home.

September

"Louis, if you don't get up now we're going to miss your appointment." Harry called from the bottom of the stairs, earning an eye roll from Louis who was indeed already up. He was standing in front of the mirror that was on the closet door. Louis turned to the side, blowing the hair that had fallen in front of his eyes away as he tries to spot a baby bump. He was nearly 17 weeks along now and he figured because he was having twins he'd at least see some sort of bump...

"Louis for godsake, I won't tell you ag- What are you doing?" Harry walks into the room, making Louis jump and quickly pull his shirt back down.

"Nothing. I wasn't doing anything..." Louis says quickly, ignoring the fact that his cheeks were bright pink. Harry chuckles, shaking his head a little before asking Louis if he was ready. It took the boys an hour to drive to Louis' doctor's office. They were back in their home town, but the only ones to know that were Louis' mum and them. Louis hadn't spoken a word to Zayn since the night he cut things off and the younger boy didn't have any regrets where it was concerned. He still stood by his decision to disappear. It wasn't long before Louis was sitting in the hospital room, waiting patiently for his doctor walk in. Harry was playing Angry Birds as he often did when he was bored. Louis smiled at his doctor when she walked in, feeling giddy and nervous at the same time. He was going to find out what his babies were... Louis' doctor talked to him for about a half hour, covering what his birth plan was and discussing his due date which he found out was going to be in early March.

"Now how about we find out what those babies are? If we're lucky they'll be in the right spot." His doctor said, turning on the ultrasound machine before squirting some gel onto Louis' stomach. Harry was now staring at the machine excitedly as he waited for an image of the babies to show up. It took only a moment before Louis was once again met with the steady sound of two heartbeats.

"Alright, well I can tell you that baby A is a boy." His doctor says quietly, moving the wand around so that Louis could get a better view of the first baby. Louis' smile grew, he'd always wanted a boy...

"And baby B is also a boy, congratulations Louis."

----------------------------

October

"Louis! Liam and Niall are here!" Harry shouts, rolling his eyes as he realizes that Louis is yet again locked away in his bedroom. Ever since they'd found out the genders, Louis spent most of his time standing in front of the mirror in his room.. He wanted so badly to see the baby bump but he had yet to see one. It was driving Louis mad, but according to his doctor both babies were healthy and growing at a normal rate. Louis sighs as he pulls down his shirt, walking out of the room and downstairs where his friends were. He greeted Liam with a smile before pulling him in for a hug. He hadn't seen Liam since he left and he had missed his friend dearly. Niall waved awkwardly, feeling a little out of place because he wasn't as close to Louis and Harry as Liam was. They were really only friends because of Liam.

"I've missed you Li." Louis whispers, holding onto Liam tightly. Liam smelt like home.... and Louis missed his home more than anything.

---------------------

November

"You know where he is, I know you do Liam so stop f ucking playing me." Zayn practically shouts at his step brother, glaring at Liam as he continued to ignore him. Zayn didn't get it, he didn't get why everyone kept pretending like Louis didn't exist... Like he was just some memory that only Zayn had. He had tried so desperately to find him, looking everywhere and asking everyone... but no one said a thing. They refused to... and Zayn didn't seem to understand why.

--------------------

December

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Louuuuuis, happy birthday to you." Everyone sang, bursting into applause as Louis blew out his birthday candles. He was smiling brightly, enjoying the fact that he had all of the people he loved in the same place. It had been a long time since he'd been with all of them. He was sad when they all had to go, but it was short lived when the twins started to move for the first time.

-----------------------

January

Louis lets out a dramatic sigh, placing the baby name book down on his ever growing bump as he does so. Harry looked up from his own book, giving Louis a curious look as he does so.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm just frustrated. You knew there were so many damn names...." Louis says quietly, shaking his head as he looks over at Harry. Harry smiles softly at his friend before standing up from his spot and walking over to him.

"Well you gotta pick them, sooner rather than later. I personally would like to get their nursery done." Harry says, picking up Louis' name book. He had highlighted the ones he liked, but Harry wasn't even sure where they were going to begin...

"I want them to sound good together, you know? But I don't want them to start with the same letter cause that's so cliche... I don't know." Louis sighs, earning a quiet chuckle from Harry.

"I googled a website the other day, if you'd like I could give it to you and you can look?" Harry says and Louis nods eagerly. Harry has the website pulled up in a matter of minutes, setting his computer down on Louis before walking into the other room to make them dinner. Louis found what names he wanted almost instantly, writing them down on a sticky note before closing Harry's laptop.

-----------------------

February

Zayn sighs, running a hand through his hair as he sits at his desk. He was staring at a picture on his computer, the image of Louis and him at the night of their engagement. It had been six months since he'd seen Louis, six months since he'd spoken to him... and the older boy still had no clue where he was. No one would tell him, no one seemed to believe him when he said he cared about Louis... and Zayn knew that was his own doing. He just wanted to know that Louis was okay... that their children were okay...

But no one was going to give him the answers he needed, forcing the young man to find them himself.

---------------------------

March

"Hey Louis, what do you call a shoe made out of a banana?" Harry asked, making Louis let out yet another annoyed groan. This had been going on since they'd reached the hospital, Louis had woken up with intense pain in his stomach and not wanting to take chances Harry had taken him straight to the hospital. The two boys were currently waiting for Louis' doctor to come in to wheel Louis to the operating room and Harry was telling jokes to take Louis' mind off the pain.

It wasn't working.

In fact, Louis was just praying for someone to shoot him now.

"A slipper. It's called a slipper!" Harry says with mock enthusiasm.

"Where do animals go when they lose their tail?" Harry asks again and Louis was trying so hard not to kill him.

"Harry, I swear to God..." Louis starts, but Harry interrupts him with the punch line.

"They go to the retail store." Harry is grinning, but he's really just telling the jokes to hide how scared he really was. Harry knew that the twins weren't his, but he already thought of them as family... and he was honestly terrified that they weren't going to like him.

Luckily for both boys, Louis' doctor finally came in.

In less than thirty minutes, Louis was the proud parent of two baby boys.

"Are you giving them Zayn's last name or yours?" Harry asks as they sit back in Louis' hospital room. Louis sighs as he looks at Harry.

"I'm giving them Zayn's... It's the least I can do, right?" Louis says, earning a nod from Harry as he writes down the twins names on the birth certificate.

Name: Nathan Gabriel Mailk DOB: 03/17/2016 TOB: 11:11 AM Mother: Louis William Tomlinson Father: Zayn Javadd Malik

Name: Ethan Nicolas Malik DOB: 03/17/2016 TOB: 11:12 AM Mother: Louis William Tomlinson Father: Zayn Javadd Malik
