Ian's first Halloween was spent with him dressed up as a banana after Harry didn't stop annoying Louis until he got his way, he then was dressed up as a bumblebee posing for pictures being patient for once while Louis was taking them. The whole time he was dressed up as a banana, Harry had gone crazy taking pictures then sent them to the rest of the boys getting replies right away. After Gemma's kids and his sisters had gotten there, Louis had taken pictures of all of them having decided to take his sisters trick-or-treating with Gemma.

The kids were left pouting when Louis decided to leave Ian behind with Harry, and his and Harry's parents not wanting him to get sick due to the cold weather. They took them to the richest neighborhoods letting them take their time until later that night Melissa was ready to drop down on the floor and sleep right there. Gemma had only picked her up and after rounding up the kids, they went back to Anne's house where Jay and the rest of Louis' sisters were waiting for the twins.

They had just walked into the house seeing Des and Harry on the floor with Ian still dressed in his costume when the baby finally rolled from his back to his tummy. It was quiet for a second before everybody started cheering managing to startle Ian who burst out crying, he only calmed down a little when Des picked him up along with his giraffe rubbing his tiny back and kissing his forehead.

"Oh my poor baby, it's okay buddy." Des mumbled still rubbing his back and only stopped as soon as Ian had quieted down nuzzling his face on his grandfather's neck.

"Papa, I got lots of candy." Mason wrapped his arms around Des' neck expecting his full attention since he was still holding his baby cousin.

"You did!?" Des asked giving Ian to Harry since Chase was clinging to Louis, "Let me see them."

Mason was quick to show him his bag full of candy even giving his grandfather a few because according to him, Des was his favorite person in the world. Chase joined them later fighting for his attention making Anne wonder what it was going to be like when Ian was older since her youngest grandson was already too attached to Des just like the older ones.

Louis and Harry ended up going home later than usual and after Harry had put Ian down for the night, they ended up staying up later than usual the moment Louis decided he needed a good fuck. The following morning Louis was sore everywhere having decided that he wasn't going to get up until much later too comfortable in Harry's warm hold until he got up to feed Ian.

He was still trying to fall back asleep while Harry was with Ian when he felt Harry's side of the bed dipping a little and seconds later a small weight on his chest. He groaned when Ian moved his little legs hitting his side and when Harry tickled him, he only moved more hitting Louis harder.

"Ian don't be a shit...you too Harry." Louis said with his eyes still closed.

"No cursing in front of the baby, Louis. What kind of example are we setting for our child." Harry playfully scolded him making Louis smile.

"I'm sore everywhere and he's kicking me." Louis finally opened his eyes seeing Ian on top of him and Harry holding him so he wouldn't fall, "He used to beat me from the inside and now he's doing it from the outside."

He grabbed and carefully pulled him down so he was laying next to him before he hugged him close to him making Ian squirm a little. Harry joined them seconds later and that's how their sunday morning was spent until their stomachs started growling. Harry ended up getting up to make them pancakes then brought them back to bed where Louis was still cuddling with Ian. Louis was surprised at how calm Ian was while he was hugging him but as soon as he let go, the baby started trying to turn over onto his tummy.

Later that day they were still in bed except that it was now Harry and Ian who were cuddling until Harry decided to start playing airplane with him. Halfway through the game Ian was a laughing mess and whenever Harry would stop, Ian would pat the top of his hand until Harry was playing again.

"Where do you want to go for our honeymoon?" Louis asked out of nowhere never removing his gaze from the laptop screen.

"Umm, where do you want to go?" Harry paused bringing Ian down placing him on top of his chest as he furrowed his brow trying to think of a place.

"I'm not sure...I don't even know if we can afford it. You said you were going to hire someone to clean the house, it was all talk you loser." Louis smiled.

"No it wasn't, I asked mum and she recommended Roxanne, her cleaning lady. She said she wants to come look at the house first and give us a price, she's pretty good and I've known her for years." Harry informed him then started laughing, "She couldn't believe I actually got married and had a kid."

"When were you going to tell me she's coming over?" Louis furrowed his brow.

"Mum just text me. When do you want her to come look at the house?"

"Tomorrow works, we don't go back to work until tuesday." Louis finally decided then watched Harry as he texted his mum, a few minutes later Harry smiled telling Louis they were set then went back to playing with Ian.

"I kinda want to go to Puerto Rico for our honeymoon, or The Bahamas....Nassau. Oh! El Yunque." Louis said rather excitedly.

"El Yunque sounds nice." Harry said as he kissed Ian's cheeks over and over again.

"Hurricane season is from june first till november thirty, that kinda sucks." Louis sighed.

"We can always have the wedding during the spring, do you want to have it in april or may?" Harry sat up placing Ian on his lap.

"I want to get married the same day we got married in Las Vegas, I don't want to have different dates." Louis pouted.

"Or we can go to France...Paris." Harry suggested as he wiggled his eyebrows, "Very romantic setting."

"I'll think about it." Louis said then suddenly sighed rather heavily, "I think I'm gonna ask mums and Gemma to help me plan all of this, I have no idea where to start."

"My mum and Gemma are going to flip when you ask them." Harry chuckled grabbing Ian's feet to tickle them making him let out a tiny scream.

"Yeah." Louis smiled seeing Ian going still and pouting his tiny bottom lip then a few minutes later relaxed again reaching for his giraffe.

"Okay Ian, you stink." Harry wrinkled his nose a few minutes later then picked him up to change his diaper making him squeal.

Louis laughed when as soon as Harry had removed the sticky tabs, he gagged a little at the smell and the mess while Ian moved his legs making it more difficult for Harry.

"What did my mum feed you...no...no!" Harry shouted when Ian reached down touching his privates and with that...his own poop.

Louis got up as fast as he could grabbing both his tiny wrists on time before he could put his hands in his mouth making him cry a little. He waited for Harry to clean them up and continued holding them until he was done changing his diaper then got up to wash his hands as good as he could. He washed them until he got the smell out and by the end of it, the mirror was covered in water when Ian kept reaching for it as he giggled.

"All clean?" Harry asked as soon as he saw them coming out of the bathroom.

"Yeah, but I think I'm gonna give him a bath." Louis sighed as he ran his fingers through Ian's hair smiling when he heard a tiny content sigh coming from his son.

"Okay, I'll get his stuff ready." Harry got up from the bed heading straight to Ian's bedroom.

Louis smiled as he made his way to the hallway bathroom where they gave Ian a bath loving how Harry always wanted to be there during bath time. It was a great bonding time for both of them loving the facial expressions their son would make upon hearing new sounds or feeling new things. Their son still needed support when sitting and ever since he had started moving more, it was almost impossible to hold on to him when he was wet and slippery He refused to lay down in his bathtub wanting to be sitting or else it was a crying fit leaving them almost deaf..

When bath time was over, Harry dressed him up in a tiny light blue onesie with Party My Crib 2am, Bring a Bottle written on the front. He then sat down with him in the living room watching him play with a few plush toys they had just gotten him.

They finally went back to work on tuesday and after Roxanne had gone to take a look at the house, she was set to clean it that same day so they wouldn't get on her way. When Louis got home that afternoon after picking Ian up from the daycare, he was left amazed seeing how clean the house was immediately sending a text to Roxanne thanking her a million times for the wonderful job she had done.

He spent the rest of the afternoon playing with Ian then got up to make dinner seeing that Harry was almost home after the long day. He was too focused on trying to add the tomato sauce to the spaghetti that he didn't notice Harry sneaking up on him until he wrapped his arms around Louis' waist making him jump a bit.

"Did I scare you?" Harry asked pressing a kiss on the right side of Louis' neck.

"I knew it was you, silly. Ian's still too little and too short to do that...unless it's some burglar wanting to get his hands on me" Louis said giving Harry a suggestive look, "Then no, you didn't scare me."

"I am the burglar, I've had my eye on you since last week." Harry nipped on the warm skin leaving a tiny red mark behind, "We can play a little before the husband gets home."

"Kinky." Louis leaned against him.

"Is Ian taking his afternoon nap?" Harry asked, his arms still around Louis' waist.

"Yeah, took me forever to get him to fall asleep. He was still all riled up from the daycare, I didn't know he was going to like it that much...he's going to be Melissa 2.0." Louis chuckled.

"Gemma says they're wonderful so I'm guessing that's why." Harry hooked his chin on Louis' shoulder rubbing small circles right under Louis' navel feeling the smooth warm skin against his.

"Dinner's ready, wash your hands." Louis pushed him away with his bum yelping a little when Harry smacked it.

They ate as they made conversation a few times but mostly focused on eating wanting to finish and clean the kitchen since they still had to shower. Soon after they had cleaned it, Ian woke up wanting to eat already a fussy mess but as soon as his gaze focused on Harry he let out a series of cooing sounds.

Louis let Harry feed their son while he showered and when he was done, Harry had Ian on their bed blowing raspberries on his tummy making the four month old laugh and gurgle whenever Harry would give him a break. While Harry showered, Louis gave Ian all of his undivided attention then placed him on his tummy giving him a few toys so he could entertain himself while he worked on a few things.

Once Harry was out of the shower, he went straight to Ian tickling him again then blowing raspberries on his pudgy tummy while the baby had a tight grip on Harry's hair. He was laughing more than he should have while Louis sometimes glanced their way with a smile on his face thankful that that was his life now. Married to the person he loved with all his heart as he made their son laugh, the son whom they had made their 'wedding' night, they liked to think it was meant to be for them to meet that night.

He couldn't help but laugh when Ian finally got tired of Harry tickling him and pushed his head away then tried to roll over onto his tummy. Harry being Harry, pulled him back towards him only managing to make Ian upset and pull on his still wet hair with force making Harry wince.

"Ian." Harry laughed trying to get him to let go of his hair, "Peanut, baby don't be a shit to daddy." Harry cooed finally getting him to let go then kissed his tiny knuckles from both of his little dainty hands.

"If we keep this up, I bet his first word is gonna be shit. Your dad's not gonna be happy and your mum might just pull our ears until they come off." Louis said in a serious tone yet Harry could see he was trying not to laugh.

"She might pull mine until they come off, not yours. She loves you too much, you're like her favorite son." Harry happily said helping Ian roll onto his tummy smiling at the happy squeal he made.

"Same with my mum, you're her favorite." Louis said.

And it was true, Jay truly adored Harry while Anne adored Louis. They each thought their sons had the perfect husband no matter how they had met, and who had also given them the perfect grandchild. Des was just the proud father, father in law and grandfather ever and whenever he would hold Ian, his face would light up.

"Oh I know." Louis said, "She loves me ten times more than she loves you."

"You cocky bastard." Harry slowly crawled up to him getting in between his legs about to kiss him when Louis moved away quickly reaching for Ian who had rolled over and was almost at the edge of the bed.

He grabbed him by the arm managing to hold him in place letting Harry pick him up and held him in between their bodies. For some reason, Louis' heart was beating faster than normal at having seen his son about to fall off the bed knowing it was going to hurt like hell.

"I'm sorry." Harry finally said as Ian played with his necklace as if nothing had happened.

"No, don't worry babe. This kind of things happen, it's okay." Louis wrapped his arm around him rubbing his back to comfort him seeing the way he was still a bit shaken up.

"Not in your mouth!" Harry exclaimed taking his necklace away from Ian expecting him to cry and just when he thought he wasn't going to, Ian looked at him pouting his bottom lip then started crying.

"Aw, what's the mean old ogre doing to you." Louis cooed taking him in his arms, "Did he scare you? Oh my poor baby boy."

"Let me cuddle him." Harry said taking him again feeling guilty.

He lay down with him still in his arms and a few seconds later, Louis joined them. He was on his side while Louis was on his back as close to him as he could and when he was comfortable, Harry placed Ian on top of his chest then wrapped his arms around them.

They stayed there until it was time to go to bed and feed Ian, Louis fed him that time then changed him into his tiny pajamas before he rocked him to sleep. Once he was finally asleep he slowly placed him down in his crib making sure to cover him with a blanket then made sure the baby monitor was working before he turned the light off and went back to his and Harry's bedroom.

He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow just trying to get as much sleep as he could and by morning he was in Harry's arms like always, their legs tangled up together. He got up as soon as he heard Ian babbling through the baby monitor since he was now his alarm and his cue to get up then walked to his bedroom leaving Harry still asleep.

"Good morning, pumpkin!" Louis greeted him hearing his tiny gurgles wondering how the hell was he so happy in the mornings.

He could see Ian was already on his tummy cooing when Louis picked him up as he kissed his chubby cheeks. Louis took him to the kitchen where he put him in his bouncer while he made him a bottle and once he was done, he picked him up and fed him leaning against the countertop. When he was done he was about to start breakfast when Harry walked in telling him he would do it so he could get ready and after Louis had agreed, he took Ian back with him.

He got ready first then Ian making sure to double check and make sure he had everything his baby was going to need for the day. When they were finally able to get out of the house, it was after a kiss and a hug. Louis ended up getting to work ten minutes late due to traffic and as he made his way to his office he greeted Sebastian, the new assistant he had hired after Elena had moved to Manchester with her new wife.

"Good morning, Mr. Styles." Sebastian greeted him with a wide smile.

"Good morning! Do you have the contracts I asked you to get from Gemma?" Louis asked him stopping right in front of his desk.

"Yes, Mrs. Codispoti's assistant just dropped them off." Sebastian smiled handing Louis a large stack of papers.

"Thank you. I'm expecting a call later today, make sure you let me know before transferring it over to me."

"Yes sir." Sebastian nodded before Louis went into his office dropping his bag on the couch then sat down on his desk chair grabbing the first contract to make sure everything was in order.

Two hours before noon he finally got the call and spent the next hour on the phone trying to figure out a price for a new commercial construction deal. When he finally hung up, it was with a smile unable to wait to tell Des about the new contract they would soon be finalizing.

"He doesn't mind if I come in."

Louis looked up when he heard Harry's unmistakable voice and seconds later his husband walked in with a bag full of food and two drinks in his other hand. Sebastian was following behind trying to get him to stop so he could announce him first then looked at Louis with a nervous expression before looking at Harry again.

"It's okay Sebastian, he's allowed in here no matter what." Louis said then smiled at him, "You can take your lunch break now."

"Alright." Sebastian answered then left with one last smile, his eyes lingering longer on Harry.

"He didn't want to let me in." Harry pouted as soon as the door had closed.

"He was just doing his job." Louis chuckled walking closer to him then wrapped his arms around Harry's waist giving him a chaste kiss, "What did you bring me to eat?"

"I brought you...chinese! Surprise!" Harry exclaimed showing Louis the bag.

"You know me so well." Louis happily sighed letting go to take his drink.

He sat down on the desk chair followed by Harry who took a seat in another chair making sure to bring it closer to Louis to be close to him.

"What happened to Elena?" Harry asked, "I haven't been here in forever."

"She got married and moved to Manchester with her wife. They're gonna have a baby, her wife's the one carrying it." Louis said as he smiled remembering how excited she had been while telling him.

"That's cute. Her and Lucy had been dating for a while now." Harry commented then went back to eating.

They ate in silence sometimes sharing the food and when they were done, Harry stayed a bit longer with Louis sitting on his lap just kissing for a bit. Time went by fast and soon Sebastian was back on his spot while Louis didn't want to move from his spot too comfortable for his own good.

"I have to go." Harry finally said after another twenty minutes had passed.

"Okay, I'll see you at home babe. Love you" Louis let Harry hug and kiss him one more time.

"Love you more." Harry gave him that sweet smile he only brought out for him that made Louis feel butterflies in his stomach.

After picking up a sleeping Ian from the daycare, Louis headed back home getting there just as Harry did. A few days later, Louis found himself walking around his house making sure everything was nice and clean. His sisters were in the living room playing with Ian while Harry made sure they had enough drinks and food for everybody. They could hear Ian's laugh whenever one of the girls would tickle him or simply give him all their attention while the baby basked in it.

After a while, the girls had decided to ask Louis if they could see Aaron again and meet Gavin, Louis had immediately said yes then had called his father to ask him. He was making sure Harry had everything ready since that was the first time his dad would be going to his house when he heard the doorbell. He hurried over to the door opening it to see his dad standing there with Gavin in his arms and his diaper bag over his shoulder.

"Glad you could make it, come in!" Louis smiled as he hugged him then moved out of the way to let him in looking at Gavin, "Hello!" He cooed at him making the baby smile.

"Are the girls here already?" Aaron asked as he looked around.

"Yes, they're in the living room with Ian." Louis said taking his dad where the girls were.

Harry was already sitting on the recliner watching the girls who were sitting on the floor with Ian watching him trying to roll over onto his tummy every time Lottie would put him on his back. As soon as their eyes landed on their dad and new baby brother, they all smiled a little just having eyes for the tiny baby in his arms.

"Girls." Louis started, "This is Gavin...yo- our baby brother." Louis introduced them unable to miss the smile his dad sent his way when he referred to Gavin as his brother too.

"He's so cute! Can I hold him?" Fizz got up and as soon as Aaron nodded, she took the baby in her arms seeing how blue his eyes were and how brown his hair was much like their own.

She took him back with the others then set him upside down next to Ian watching how Ian reached for him pulling his pacifier out of his mouth. Gavin only stared at him making a few huffing sounds and when Ian was about to put it in his mouth, Lottie quickly took it away giving him his own.

"Hi." Lottie finally greeted Aaron followed by the twins who smiled at him.

"Hi loves." Aaron said wanting to hug them but wasn't sure if they would like that, so he kept his distance not wanting to upset them.

"He's so little like Ian." Daisy giggled as she grabbed his tiny hands followed by Phoebe who tickled his tummy making him smile and squirm before he let out a squeal pulling his tiny hands away.

"He was born a day before Ian." Aaron commented as he slowly made his way to them then took a seat next to the twins feeling his chest warming up when they smiled at him.

"I bet they're going to be best friends when they get older." Lottie caressed his cheek with her thumb, her chest filling with some kind of emotion when Gavin looked up at her with the biggest smile ever reaching for her hand and holding two of her fingers in his tiny hand.

She slowly picked him up hugging him close to her not even wincing when he grabbed her long blond hair and pulled on it. She held him for a bit before letting the twins hold him telling them to be careful while Ian was still on the floor too busy with his giraffe.

"I hope you haven't eaten anything, Harry and I made lunch." Louis cheerfully said as he picked Ian up who snuggled closer to him.

"I am actually starving!" Aaron exclaimed then looked at Ian holding out his arms, "May I?"

"Of course!" Louis quickly gave him Ian seeing how comfortable the baby was in his arms.

"Hello! You just keep growing and growing, look at you, so big already." Aaron held him in his arms then tickled his tummy chuckling when Ian stared at him before he finally laughed.

"He likes you." Louis said.

Aaron opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Lottie who walked by with Gavin in her arms followed by her sisters. Harry was trailing behind them giving them a smile as he passed by then headed to the kitchen to serve the food. They finally sat down to eat after the twins had dragged Ian's playpen to the dining room and had placed both babies in there right next to each other with a few toys to keep them entertained.

"How have you been, Harry?" Aaron asked after he had taken a seat next to Daisy and Phoebe.

"Great! How about you?" Harry smiled as he served Daisy her food.

"I've been doing great, better now." Aaron gave him a warm smile then looked at all his daughters.

"Could we go to the park after this?" Phoebe asked eyeing Louis, "We can all go and we're gonna have so much fun, I want to take a walk with Gavin in his stroller. Does he have a stroller?"

"Uh, I don't know Phoebs, but we can use Ian's" Louis smiled at her then looked at Aaron with a questioning look.

"His stroller is in the car." Aaron smiled at her.

"I'm pushing Ian." Daisy quickly said before Fizz could open her mouth.

"Hey, I want to push them too. You know what, I'm holding Gavin and Lottie can hold Ian." Fizz said seeing the way Phoebe narrowed her eyes.

"I asked first." Phoebe pouted then looked at Louis, "Lou, tell her I asked first."

"You can take turns, then we can find a good spot to sit and let you spend time with them." Louis said sighing in relief when she seemed to think about it then finally nodded.

They continued eating and as soon as they were done, Aaron insisted on helping Harry with the cleaning while Louis was getting Ian ready to go the park and Gavin was on the floor with his sisters. Almost an hour later, they finally got out of the house going straight to the park where the twins were quick to grab both strollers.

They walked for almost half an hour until they found a nice picnic spot right under a tree where they sat down making small conversation here and there. Louis and Harry watched with smiles on their faces when Aaron finally started a conversation with his daughters asking them about anything that would pop into his head. Louis was glad when they seemed to be opening up until Aaron's phone started ringing and he was quick to decline the call before turning it off.

"Do you have to go?" Lottie asked as she held Ian wincing when her nephew pulled on her blond hair. It seemed like she was his target for the day.

"No, it was just a phone call. I can stay as long as you want me to." Aaron smiled at Lottie and it seemed good enough when she smiled and slowly pulled her hair away from Ian's reach.

Louis laughed when half an hour later, his father was running around playing tag with the twins and when the older ones joined, he and Harry were left to watch both babies.

"They're really having fun." Harry chuckled as he wrapped his arms around Louis' waist and kissed his cheek.

"Yeah, I'm glad he's trying to get closer to them. It might not be like it used to but at least he's here now." Louis said then let out a loud sigh getting comfortable in Harry's arms, "My mum wants to see him, wants to talk to him."

"Are you going to tell your dad?" Harry asked turning to look down where Ian and Gavin were on their tummies.

"Yeah, as soon as I can. Mum just wants to threaten him, you know. If he ever hurts them again. I told her she didn't have to but she insisted." Louis said.

"Well she's your mum, she just wants to protect you and the girls. Wouldn't you do the same for Ian?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, but I'm not gonna have to threaten his father." Louis said then looked up at Harry smiling when Harry pressed his lips against his own, "I know you're never going to leave us or do something shitty to me like cheating. You would never." Louis said so sure of himself and when Harry smiled, he believed it.

"I would never hurt you like that, and I would never leave Ian or you. That kid is stuck with me whether he likes it or not." Harry assured him.

"He loves you, he's not gonna feel stuck with you." Louis replied.

"He loves you too, I think he only loves us 'cause we feed him." Harry said trying not to laugh.

They looked at Ian who was on his back before rolling again onto his tummy getting closer to Gavin who was on his back about to fall asleep. Louis picked Gavin up so he would be more comfortable smiling when he fell asleep in his arms and when Ian started getting fussy and his eyes started getting droopy, Harry picked him up holding him close to him.

They watched the others until they got tired and after getting ice cream, Aaron left hugging Louis and the twins but never Lottie and Fizz who slowly backed away. Louis was quick to assure him they just needed time watching his sisters saying goodbye to Gavin who was already comfortable with them, his older sisters. They ended up dropping them off on their way home deciding to stay with Jay for a few hours so she could spend time with Ian who was as happy as ever with her. Louis found himself smiling the entire time.
