This was requested by nushrat28 so I hope you enjoy :)

Also this may be a short one as I'm having writers block and I wanted to get this out.

3rd person P.O.V

Harry woke up to a shrill cry in the house and he groaned quietly before using his hand to smack Louis' bicep, waking him up.

Louis seemed to have the same reaction to the scream coming from the room next to them. "You get one I get the other?" He asked as he sat up, his hair a mess and eyes barely open.

Harry nodded and the two pushed themselves out of their bed and headed out the room. They still weren't used to waking up this early after adopting twins not long ago. They were ten months old and when one twin woke up crying, the other followed suit.

Harry went over to Harper while Louis walked over to Callum. "Hey, little guy." Louis whispered as he picked up the crying baby, he quickly quietened down as he was only crying because his sister was crying. "See you're fine. Aren't you, Cal." He gently poked the baby's belly making a toothless grin form on his face.

Harry rocked Harper for a few minutes longer before she calmed down and then the couple took the babies downstairs to eat something. They got the twins sorted and then both sat down next to them, finally eating their own food.

"What time is your family coming over?" Louis asked as he picked up their plates and took them over to the sink.

"Twelve. I think." Harry replied as he cleaned the mouths of both Callum and Harper. It was six o'clock now which meant they had a while before anyone came over.

They were having their annual family dinner that happens at the start of every summer. Louis' family couldn't make it this time so they were visiting later in the week but Anne, Robin and Gemma and her family were coming.

"Did you pick up the stuff from the store after work last night?" Harry asked as he pulled the plastic table out of the high chair and picked up Callum before placing him down on the floor, then doing the same with Harper.

"Yeah. I picked up a different pack of beers though." Louis placed the last plate on the drying rack and dried his hands on the hand towel before looking down at his kids.

Harper was just sat there, staring up at Harry with wide eyes. But Callum was already making an effort to escape. He was definitely going to be walking soon, he crawled everywhere he could and tries to pull himself to stand up a lot more than Harper who is more content to be carried.

"And where do you think you're going?" Louis asked as he picked up the crawling toddler and smiled at him. Callum just laughed and clapped his hands once. "We need to get you dressed and ready to see everyone." He looked down when Harper who was gripping his trousers, trying to pull herself up. "And you, little miss." He easily picked her up and put her on his other hip as Harry watched with a smile.

"Need any help with them?" He asked, getting a no from Louis so while he got the twins ready Harry went up to their bedroom and had a quick shower before getting dressed himself and then heading back downstairs.

He made sure he had all the food they needed for lunch and then starting planning when he needed to start cooking everything. Just as he was ticking something off of the whiteboard attached to the fridge, his phone rang. He reached over to grab it and quickly answered it once he saw it was from Gemma.

"Hey, is everything okay?" He asked as he heard the floorboards on the stairs creak, indicating someone was walking downstairs.

"Yeah, I was just wondering if we could turn up earlier? I think mum is still heading to yours at twelve but Maya and Aliyah are getting antsy to see you." Gemma explained, there was murmured noises of a conversation in the background but he couldn't really pick up who was talking.

Maya was six and Aliyah was nine, they were the sweetest girls ever and Harry loved to spoil them whenever they came over.

"Yeah, that's fine. What time were you thinking?" Harry asked, smiling when Louis came walking in with both (now dressed) twins. Harper was reaching her arms out towards Harry and trying to push her body forward so before she fell, Louis walked closer and handed her to his husband.

Harpers hands immediately went to Harry's curls and just held onto them as she rested herself against him, her mouth slightly open as she stared. Harry held her with one hand, the other holding his phone as Louis walked out the kitchen with Callum.

"Maybe ten?"

Harry focused back on his sister and told her it was fine and that he'd see her soon, it was only seven o'clock, so they still had three hours before anyone would be here. He put his phone down and gently pried Harpers hands out of his hair, she made a strange gargling sound before letting go.

He walked back into the living room to see Louis laying with his back on the floor with Callum sat on his chest, holding a pink and yellow car. The tv was playing in the background and Harry smiled as he watched his son drive his toy car over his husbands chest making noises that sounded slightly like "vroom" but he couldn't be too sure.

Harper let out the softest sigh, leaning her tired head down on Harry's shoulder as he moved to sit on the couch. Her hair was starting to get longer now, it was a light brown colour but you still couldn't really do anything with it, you could put it into the tiniest ponytail on the top of her head but then it stands up and looks a little odd.

Harry leaned back against the pillows, allowing Harper to get comfortable while he watched Callum continue to play. Louis had his hands holding onto Callum's legs so he wouldn't fall off his chest and just laid there, allowing his son to use him as a road.

Harry hadn't realised how much time had passed by the time the doorbell was ringing, he and Louis had been sat in the living room for the past few hours. Louis had since moved from the floor to the couch and Harper and Callum were both sat in the middle of the rug on the floor. Callum was chewing rather slobbery on a car while Harper was holding the tv remote and just playing with it.

At one point Callum had tried to take it from her which started the water works and Harry had to quickly find a toy to give to Callum so Harper could have the remote back.

Louis was currently in the kitchen sorting out the drinks into the ice container and so Harry quickly got up from his seat and walked to the door, looking back to the twins for a moment.

He pulled the door open and smiled when a small figure was suddenly hurtling into his body, he laughed and hugged Maya as she wrapped her small arms around his waist as best as she could. "Where's uncle Louis?" She asked, looking up at him with a gappy smile as she had lost her front two teeth a few days ago.

Harry told her where to find him and soon enough the six year old was running in that direction. She and Louis were complete trouble whenever they were together and she adored him. Aliyah was next to come and hug him while Gemma and Michal walked into the hallway to take off their shoes.

"Now where are my gorgeous niece and nephew?" Gemma asked, placing her bag on the ground.

"Probably causing trouble in the living room." Harry said as he started walking back that direction, this time Aliyah was holding his hand. Gemma and Michal followed behind and when they all reached the living room Harper was still sat in the same place, completely distracted by the remote and Callum was crawling over to the box in the corner of the room that held a bunch of toys and blankets and teddies.

He was pulling himself to stand up just as they walked in, he turned to look at them as if he'd gotten caught and suddenly was grinning wide as he fell back onto his bum, looking at Gemma.

Aliyah sat on the couch with Harry, she pulled out her 3D DS and started telling him all about this new game she'd got where she was the mayor of an island filled with animals. Harry listened and watched the screen when she wanted to show him something while Gemma played with Callum and Michal, Louis and Maya were probably wreaking havoc in the kitchen.

It must have been a little while later Michal came back in an offered a drink to Harry before sitting down on the other side of his daughter as she turned her body towards him. Maya came running into the room, squealing as Louis chased her and when he caught her he tipped her upside down making her squeal before laughing.

He carefully placed her back on the ground before going to sit next to Harry, kissing his cheek. "Tired yet?" Harry asked with a smirk as his husband stole his drink from his hand and drank from it.

Louis had been awake late last night and then with the twins early wake up Harry was surprised he wasn't having a nap yet. Louis just gently pinched his hip before leaning his arm on the back of the couch, behind Harry's shoulders.

Harper started making a fuss from where she was on the floor, seemingly no longer enjoying the remote and so she crawled her way over to her dads and then tugged at Harry's jeans as she tried to stand up. Harry ended up picking her up and placing her between him and Louis as she relaxed and the tears stopped. Louis wiped her wet cheeks and kissed her head as he looked back to Callum who was having the time of his life with his aunt.

That's how the next few hours went, Harper was contentedly siting with her parents while Maya sat with Gemma and Callum, she loved playing with him and making him laugh. Aliyah had stopped playing her game just before the doorbell rang and Louis was offering to go get it as Harper was more sat on Harry than him.

He walked back into the room with Anne and Robin behind him, they all said their hellos and Harry decided it was time to start cooking so he passed Harper to Anne who gratefully took her and he went to the kitchen to start cooking.

Callum had gotten tired and was currently napping in his bed after Louis had taken him up there just after Anne and Robin got here. He came back downstairs with the baby monitor and went into the kitchen to see his husband.

"Do you need me to do anything?" He asked, placing the monitor down on the counter and walking to Harry, placing a hand on his lower back before kissing the back of his neck twice.

"No its okay. I've got it." Harry replied, turning his head to kiss Louis' lips once before turning back to the sink.

Louis however did not leave the room, he stayed in the kitchen and talked to Harry, occasionally offering to help. He went to check on Harper but she was enjoying all the attention from her family and so he went back to Harry.

Just before they served lunch Callum woke up and Louis went to go bring him downstairs to feed both the twins. Maya was sat at the table swinging her legs and telling Robin all about what she did yesterday and Aliyah was talking to her dad and Anne while Gemma helped Louis get the twins into the high chairs while Harry started filling plates with food.

Somehow they managed to get through lunch with no tantrums from anyone, they managed to feed the twins easily and then Harry and Louis ate their own meals while talking to their family. Maya and Aliyah were telling them all their jokes they'd heard the other day.

They put all the dishes into the kitchen and decided to deal with them later, so everyone moved to outside and were scattered between sitting on the picnic table and on the grass. Anne was sat with Harper at the picnic table with Robin and Gemma, Harry was sat on the grass with Callum on his lap and Aliyah in front of him, gently poking at his cheeks making him laugh and Louis and Maya were playing some sort of gentle version of rugby.

It felt really nice to be able to relax with everyone, ever since they had the twins it'd become very hectic and as much as they loved being parents and wouldn't change it for anything, times like these where they could just relax a little, felt really good.

The rest of the evening passed mostly the same, Harper went down for a nap later in the afternoon and so everyone moved inside and played monopoly. Then they watched films in the living room and both Maya and Aliyah sang along to all the songs from the Disney movie.

Then once everyone had left and the twins had gone to bed Louis and Harry were both shattered, it had been a long day and so with stumbling steps they walked to their bedroom. Louis barely had time to get out of his clothes before he was collapsing onto the bed with a sigh. Harry laughed and kissed his head before going to the bathroom and sorting himself out.

He then joined Louis in bed and started running his hands through his husbands hair with one hand, the other holding his phone as he scrolled through Instagram. Louis eyes were closed as he leaned into Harry's body but he had yet to fall asleep, instead he was just listening to the soft breaths and the rise and fall of his chest.

"I love you." He mumbled into Harry's skin before kissing the spot. Harry smiled and leaned down to kiss his forehead before turning off his phone and the light.

"I love you too." He kissed him again, his hands still playing with Louis' feathery hair. "Get some sleep, love."

Louis nodded and made some sort of mumbled reply but soon enough he was fast asleep with his body pressed against Harry's and everything was peaceful.

Until 6:23am.

I'm so sorry about this one, it's boring and short but I've been procrastinating about it so long that I just needed to write and get it done, and I didn't know what to write so I'm sorry.

Hopefully the next one will be better.

Don't forget to eat and drink something today and I hope you're having a good day or night, I love you <3
